Governor Sparks Veloes Bill

Governor Sparks has vetoed the bid,
passed 10y the recent legislature, to pre-
vent siock-jobbiug by harterrng with
Ia bOr unions. The bill passed the legls-
lature unanimously, but TIE governor
thinka it ought not t0 become a law
Folio VIM are his r, ssous for sending
the bill to the bone!
W G. Douglass,
Secretary OF State,
Carson City, Nevada.
Sir:-l herewith deposit with YOU,

II, AN Act prohibiting the bribery OF

Mcconnell Lectures
on Science
of Mind Power.

The Mcconnell researches in
vital force prove that one may in
crease his mind power through
the increase of vital force, in the
same way that invalids cure them
selves by these newly discovered
laws OF vital production.
The work Of our Washington scientist, Mr.. An
drew Mcconnell in getting the laws Of vital
force to the point where anybody may increase
his vital power is attracting attention all over
the world Out OF two hundred tests In the worst
forms Of chronic disease he has proven beyond
few weeks by simply learning the science of
how vital force is produced and increased in the
body. Mr.. Mcconnell began to teach his discov-
cries 10 vital force three months ago. and al.
had to move last week to larger quarters. and
people are already coming from different parts
If the world TO be trained In this new science.
Mr.. Mcconnell states that the laws Of vital in
crease apply to the mind realm. the same to
segaining health. When ones vital force IL low
his mind power decreases. When the vital force
is to a high point one reaches the insprational
degree of mind power. Mr.. Mcconnell claims
that one may be taught. through understanding
these laws. how to keep his mind to the inspira-
tional degree. The many who have gone through
the health training are asking for a course Of
lectures on the increase Of mind power. To sup
ply this demand Mr. Mcconnell has consented to
begin a class on Thursday at $40 pm. Of this
will give an explanatory lecture. free TO the
public. in the Lecture Hall Of the Life Elec-
