OFFICERS RAIDED
GAME OF CHANCE
Special Deputy r. e. Raws and Con
stable Riley Picked Up Four
"Skinners" Last Night.

Monday night Officers Riley and
Rawls had a bunch" that the season
might be favorable for Skin games
and accordingly went out on a still
hunt to see what was stirring.
1t was not necessary for them to
leave the business section, however,
before their efforts were awarded. and
the search had been in progress only
a few minutes when a nice little four
handed game was discovered and the
spots carried to the county jail to
spend the night.
All the participants were negroes,
and they will be called upon to ex-
plain to Justice Wall why they should
not refrain from such practices. If
the explanation is not satisfactory
they will doubtless be allowed to
spend 80 days on the county farm
where they can mediate upon the err
rors of their ways.

Another Mississippian has gone rap

REUNION A SUCCESS
DESPITE WEATHER
Continued from page one.)

Dear to My Heart Are the Scenes of
My Childhood which affected many OF
the veterans and a number of those
in the audience to tears.
Owing to the fact that the crosses
of honor did not arrive, Mrs. Holmes
pinned red and white ribbons and
pink roses upon those who were en-
titled to the crosses. These veterans,
however, will receive their crosses as
soon as they arrive.
The U. d. C. Choral Club sang a
number of patriotic Southern songs
and when the strains of Bonnie Blue
Flag and Dixie" rang out on the
air the old Rebel yell'' was echoed
and re-echoed through the corridors
of the court house.
Dinner was served in the corridor
and the Daughters, assisted by the
housekeepers of Hattiesburg, spread
feast of good things which the vet
Grams and their invited guests en-
joyed to the fullest extent.
A drill of the veterans at o'clock
closed the days exercises and all
went home tired, but with the con-
seriousness of having spent a happy
and profitable day.

"Oh, the rarity of christian CHAIR
ty under the sun"

There is some opposition to the tax
ordinance because of the amount ap-
propriated to the Park fund; the op-
position claiming the amount to be
out of proportion to other expendi-
lures. That may appear to be true.
And yet it must be remembered that
the park is being built, and it takes
more money to build than to maintain
an enterprise of that character. Be
sides if the ordinance is good in A
general way; if its general pur-
poses are good; if more money
is needed for the general pro-
motion of the common good, we hope
the live, progressive people of this
live, progressive town, will not fail
out over details, and retard the
growth of the city by small differ
ence over a comparatively small mat
ter. We do not know whether too
much or too little had been set apart
for Park purposes; but it seems to
us that that matter could be adjust
ed in some way in making up future
budgets. Lets move along; that's the
main thing; and lets all pull together.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.


'man's inhumanity to man" In the
olden time, before civilization had
dawned, might made right, and brutal
strength was all the power it's possess
or needed to lord it over the weak.
With sanctimonious mein we con
graduate ourselves that those IN
happy days are gone. But are they?
If leprosy visits a fellow creature,
he is sent away, not to be cared for,
but to die. And they are seriously
talking of treating consumptives in
the same way. And Chicago now is
In the midst of crusade against the
women of the underworld who have
been touched by the leprosy of sin.
What will they do with them? Run
them out like rats from their novels
and flay them with the law and tell
them to move on" Move on where:
Is there a place on earth where char
ity hath birth for women of their
kind? Is there an open door to re-
ceive them?
Move on" say the righteously in
dignant. Move on" says the law.
Where to-" answers the shivering
outcast
Out into the night of black des-
pair,
Back to your howell some other
where.
And that is civilization and chris
tian charity! oh, the mockery of it!
1t is necessary for the public good
and public morals that these women.
with the pestilence of sin men have
left upon their garments, should be
dealt with in some way. They should
not flaunt their vice in the face of
innocence. They should not spread
their contagion everywhere. But TO
herd them among themselves, is it
any less cruel than to herd lepers
together? To shut them away from
every good influence and bar the door
of hope behind them, would it not be
more merciful to stone them to death?
To pass before their novels in great
parade. singing psalms, as a peripa-
tetic evangelist in Chicago wants to
do, and go away and leave them there,
still bound by the pittiless cord of
fate; is that not mockery to hope?
There are no people in the world
SO inhumanly treated as the women
of this class. 1t is true they "have
grievously sinned;" and yet, "most
previously have they answered for
It," Because of their fall, because Of
their weakness, because of the frail-
ty Of their natures, because they are
built like most of us only little
less strong or little more tempted
should they be thrown into the arena
for their own wild passions and the
wilder passions of men to devour
them?
Church, Society and State have a
great sin of omission to answer for
in the lack of christian charity ex-
tended to this unfortunate class.
They should be taken up and be made |
the wards of the state. They should |
be rescued from Themselves and pro
tecfed from temptation. They should
be given something useful for their
hands to do; and their minds should |
be. taught to think on better things,
and their hearts to learn the love of
Christ. ~
That is the work a Christian Church
and Christian Nation ought to do.
Instead, they, both Church and State,
east these poor sinners into a fiery
hell of passion and wretched sur
foundings without any reasonable

SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTIONS

On last Monday afternoon and ev-
ening at the Methodist Episcopal
church in Winemucca a convention of
Sunday school workers was held. A
similar convention was held in Love-
lock on Tuesday afternoon and even
ing. A goodly number of those inter
ested in Sunday school work attended
each of these conventions. Rev w. Z.
Merritt, of Tacoma, WASH, secretary
of the International Sunday School as
sociation for the Northwest, was pres
ent at each of these gatherings and con-
Quoted interesting roundtable discus
sions and gave helpful and inspiring
addresses. 1t was decided TO organize
the Sunday schools of Humboldt county
into county organization, with the
view of building up the Sunday
schools already orgaized and assisting
in the organization of new schools
where needed and at all advisable.
The following county Sunday school
officers were elected: President, Rev.
f. p. Bonnefon, of the Winnemucca
Methodist Episcopal church; vice
president, Miss Gestrude Damn, of Big
Meadow Methodist Episcopal shurch ;
secretary Miss Fannie Case, of Para
disc Methodist Episcopal church ;
treasurer, Mrs. Merca Abel, of Winnie
mucca Methodist Episcopal church.
1t is the intention of this organiza-
tion to hold a county Sunday school
some time during the year,
at which plans for the advancement of
the Sunday school work within the
bounds of the county will be discussed
and adopted.

with several trunks of samples, from
which were selected the latest effects
in grey shepheard plaids, Shetland
homespuns, etc.
These goods should arrive souetime
about the holidays, and patrons will
do well to order their spring and sum-
mer suits early. While Grandel was
never known to turn out poor job, by
giving him plenty of time customers
are insured fine work.

SHELTER FOR
OLD KNOXVILLE MINES
Mines Long Idle To Be Made Paying Propositions
By New Smelling Process

ed Mark Twain as a citizen, soon be.
came deserted. Today but few fami.
lilies remain. There is no saloon, no
store or hotel-.only a postoffice is left
to maintain it's identity ON the map
The town is certainly dead, but the
mines are still there. Unionville has
peacefully slept for 20 years. Town
lots have been merged into acres upon
many of which orchards and patches Of
alfalfa luxuriantly thrive. The few
families love their old homes and cling
to them. There is a school and few
children, but the men are mostly old,
the younger ones having left for new
camps or distant cities.
| Mark Twain IS little shack is yet
standing. Josiah Springer, one of the
pioneers of Unionville, related many
interesting stories of the early days of
the camp, in which Mark Twain and
Others figured, which will be published
IN TINS paper later.
The Silver State wishes to carry the
glad tidings to the people of Unionville
and to those ranchers in the valley
thereabout, even unto Mill City, the
railroad station, that Unionville is to
arise into greater sp1endor than ever.
The mines, that once supported Union
vile as county seat and the most
orderly and generally prosperous camp
| in Nevada, are still there, with ore
enough in sight to rebuild and re-people
the town, and consume the produce of
the nearby ranches.
The new smelling process, which will
be adopted by the Nevada Swiss Smelt-
ers company, and installed at Union
vile, will have fair profit on reduc-
ing the hitherto unknown ores of the
camp. To save every cent and reduce
the cost of reduction to the lowest pos
sible point the smelter will be placed
at the mine. The capacity of the
smelter, as now contemplated, is one
unit, or 30 tons per day, which may
be changed to two units, or 100 tons
per day. That means 100 tons per day
will be run. through, producing re-
fined, finished product, with no SUBJ
sequent treatment such as cyaniding,
etc., which is slow and expensive.
There is sufficient ore blocked out and
in sight to keep a 100 ton smelter run
ming for several months. There are
other smelling ores tributary to Union.
