n mcteoritc weighing about 1000
pounds was Monday placed in the
vaults Of the Tonopah banking cor.
portion ut TOnopLh. The meteor was
found nca Goat Ranch springs, about
l25 miles east Of Tonopah. Professor
W. p. Jenny, the geIlogist and mining
engineer. who was employed some time
ago to examine the meteor, caused an
assay to he made in Tonopali. and also
II in Rochester. Now York. Both
assays show that it contains from 5to

cent Of mctcoric iron. Upon saving off

Mlssonri's Vote IS 900 Smaller

n feature which has not been explain
ed since the election is the fact that
Missouri cast over ~, 900 more votes ut
the presidential and state election four
years ago than it did this year. At the
state election. two years ago, there
were 30, 900 more votes cast than there
were this time. These figures are
taken from the figures compiled by the
state Democratic committee and are re-
liable.
The stay-at-home vote is not confined
to the Democratic party, for while the
figures show that the majority of the
1000 were Democrats, yet the number
of Republican votes which were con.
spicuous by their absence was strik-
ingly large. Every Democrat in
Missouri believed that the Democratic
vote would be larger than ever before
and the discrepancy is absolutely
mystifying to the leaders of both par
ties. No n u explain this peculiar
falling off, and no one, until Il more
close analysis of tho vote Is made, will
attempt to offer u suggestion. 1t is ali
assured fact, however, that had the full
strength of the Democratic vote been
pollcd, the result in the state would
have been different and the mysterious
stranger would not again have paid u
visit to Missouri Joseph Observer.

Cheyenne, WyO. where the Nevada.
California Power company has entered
an action against Hickey for nearly
SEQ, 900. The suit was filed in Wyom.
ing inasmuch as the power company
was incorporated under tho law Of that
state. Prior to October 90. 1907, the
bill says, tho company entered into an
agreement with Hickey to transfer to
him bonds and stocks for $25. 900.
Hickey took the securities and accrcdit.
cd tho power company with $23, 900 on
the books Of the bank. The complaint
says ut that time, the bank was insol.
vent and known TO bc so 10y Hickey,
and that the credit given the Power
company really did not exceed in actual
value more than 9 ZOO. On January
"a last the Power company was paid

A Woman's Protest

Secretary

y man at Joplin, Mo-. was driving
n team of sad eyed horses, hitched to
a wagon that contained Il heavy load.
The wagon went into Il mudholc and
the horses could not draw it out, al
though they devoted all their energies
and talents to the task.
Then the MAJ took Il large whip,
with Il BRAIDED lash that would cut
through sheet iron, and proceeded to
fay his horses. He larruped away
until he was tired, and the horses
plunged and reared, but did not
move the load; so the patient and
strenuous driver took Il shovel from
the wagon and began pounding the
horses ribs, keeping time. time,
time, in II sort of Runic rhyme.
With a long and swining strid es
there came II woman down the street:
she took i'll the situation ut q glance
and without wasting time in argument
or expostulation, seized the shovel and
battered the man over the head and
knocked him into the mudhOlc, and
pounded him until he yelled for the
police.
If there should be any talk of sending
a bouquet to that woman, the Gazette
would like to contribute II few posics.
