ROBBED BY Thugs


RENO, Aug. 6.-One of the most
daring robberies ever committed in
this city or in the vicinity of this city
took place on the south Virginia road
between Reno and Moana Springs
last night about IL O'Clock, when
three highwaymen, armed with re-
volvers, held up and robbed Mr.. and
Mrs. S. H. Wheeler and their two
daughters, and took from them all of
the jewelry and money. with the ex
ception of diamond ring belonging
to Mr.. Wheeler and valued at $500,
which he dropped in the road, and
gold watch and chain of gold beads
which Miss Mildred Wheeler con-
cealed in her mouth while the thieves
were searching her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler and their
two daughters had been out of town
to, a point near Huffaker's, where
Mr.. Wheeler was engaged in superin-
tending the repair of ditch. They
did not start home until quite late
and then discovered that there was
| only sufficient gas to keep one lamp
on their automobile burning dimly.
They accordingly drove slowly to
avoid running into anything.
| They had reached point on the
Virginia road within the city limits
and nearly opposite the home of
Chris Johnson when three men
sprang from behind house which
had been left in the road by house
movers, and fired four shots into the
air, at the same time calling upon
them to halt Wheeler Immediately
stopped the machine and got, out,
followed by his wife and two daugh.
tiers. They were all forced to line up
by the side of the machine with their
hands over their heads and while two
of the robbers kept them covered
with revolvers the third robber
searched them for valuables.
With great presence of mind Mr.
Wheeler dropped his valuable dia-
mond ring into the dust at his feel
and his little daughter Mildred plac
ed her small gold watch and chair
of gold beads in her mouth, and ther
kept her mouth closed until after the
thieves had left.

The Golden AGE.

To have been an Athenian with
pericles or a Roman while Augustus
was transforming that capital from
brick to marble; to have been an
Englshman in the spacious times
of great Elizabeth" or when Trafal-
gar was fought, or a Spaniard under
Charles "; to have seen Napoleon
at Austerlitz or Titan at his easel or
Shakespeare at the Globe theater-
this was to have lived and to have
participated in the making of glori-
Gus history.
Yet to have been an American dur
ing the past half century is to boast
a prouder citizenship than any other
nation has ever offered. This has
been the age of steel, Bessemer's
process dating from 1856. But 1t
has been more truly the worlds gold
en- age, the age not of milk and honey
and pastoral innocence, but of
mans highest intellectual and indus
trial development, his furthest pro
gress in humanity and the fullest
realization of his powers, rights and
duties. In that period the shackles
have been stricken from every form
of slavery. Not only is the field
hand free, but industry is free, the
pulpit and the press are free. If
any bonds remain they are the ones

Regarding the public agitation for baths in elementary schools in Aus tria. story is going the round of court circles of recent experience of the emperor, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Ills majesty was visiting a school in small country district. A local official. anxious to impress the sovereign with the progressive ideas prevailing in the community, called his attention to the fact that the schoolhouse was provided with baths for the pupils.
 The emperor showed the liveliest in. terest, and immediately asked to see the bathroom, whereupon the director of the school looked extremely un- comfortable. The key could not be found for some time, and his majesty began to get impatient. Finally it was produced, and the eager official opened the door.

 "Oh. yis, I seen somethin' about that in the papers"
 Well, that's the answer. That's what they are trying to do."
 And how do they do it?'
 They write a check for the amount of their money in the bank and give 1t to the teller, and he pays them the cash"
 That's cashing check, isn't it?"
 "Yes, that's right
 Sure, I know what check is. Had one or two myself. But why do they go to the banks when they think they may close up? A bank at this time is no place to go to, sure Why don't they go to saloon and get it cashed there? That's where l always had mine cashed."

It is interesting to the children to know that the first doll came from China; that is, the first doll that could move its arms and legs. Up to that time the children had only dolls made of wood and leather, with sometimes wax head At first the wax was put on with brush. but one day work man dropped his thimble into pot of melted wax, and when it came out covered with the material he imme- diately began to dip his dolls.
