his men and teams work In connection
with ours. In order to effect an or
ganization that will carry this project
through we have decided to hold n
special good roads day. All business
men in Norfolk and farmers in the
vicinity will be invited to participate.
II Will be the purpose to have the
farmers organize themselves in dis
tricts choosing chairman to be
known as the good roads man of their
particular district, and then work in
connection with us according to plans
agreed upon.
In order to accomplish what we ex-
pect to 1t will mean the expenditures
of not only time and work, but money,
so we ask you to help, not in the time
and in the work, but in the money.
We have listed all of the merchants
and have used scale of assessment
rating all as near equal as possible,
and your share will be $.... This
amount can be paid in three payments,
or in the furnishing of men and teams
equal to the amount of your subscrip-
ton.
The time is short and immediate ac-
ton is necessary, therefore we ask
you to kindly act at once. Fill out the
enclosed card and mail to Mr.. w. A.
Witzigman. Your neglect to comply
with this request may be the means
of failure of the project.

ance of the movement and that you
will do your part, we beg to remain

diately following the marriage service.
The color scheme was carried out in
the refreshments.
Many very beautiful gifts were re.
ceived by the bride.

parent intention of driving to Stanton,
but this was hoax and they returned

TO MAKE HIM HONEST.
A St. Louis Prisoner Is Eager for Sur.
qcaI Operation.

st. Louis, Sept. 14.-Cyrus Eaton, a
patient in the City hospital is eager
for the physicians to operate on his
brain and destroy the inclinations that
have three times caused him to be
sentenced to the workhousc, and which
have caused him numerous arrests for
theft and other violations of the law.
Several doctors who spoke to Eaton
and watched him carefully in the hos
pital say that as far as observations
are concerned, Eaton is perfectly sane.
His talk and actions speak for his
sanity.
II place all my crimes to the injury
to my head" Eaton said today. 81
cannot govern my inclinations since
my injury. drink to excess and while
intoxicated / commit crimes l would
have been ashamed to think of before
my accident. want the doctors to
operate on me, because I want to be
a good citizen"
Eaton, before he was injured two
years ago, was a we'll respected buyer
for mercantile company. He had nc
bad habits then, although he says he
drank liquor occasionally.
The operation of craniotomy will
mean the removal of several square
inches of bone from Eaton's skull to
permit the doctors to examine the COW
ering of the gray matter, and act &C.
cordingly. One of the physicians at
the hospital said Eaton's trouble was
caused by bone pressure on the
brain which could be removed success
fully. Eaton says he is willing that
the doctors shall cut into his skull il
they can only cure him.

His Daughter Dead Three Months.

Fred Boche of Norfolk has just
learned, three months after she was
laid to rest, of the death of his eldest
daughter. Lottie, at Salem, Ore. The
young woman, q years of age, had
been married but month when her
death came. The name of the man
she married has not been learned by
the family here.
Mr. Boche yesterday received let.
ter from his son, who went west with
the daughter. In this letter the son
asks whether or not he has heard of
Lotties death. She died June 8.
The son says he wrote three months
ago but, having heard no word from
home, believes that the original letter
never was received in Norfolk. And
this is the case.
Mr.. Boche did not know that his
daughter was ill, and does not know
now what caused her death. He has
written for further particulars.

Catholic PreIate Tells Audience That
Reform Must Come From Within.


Baltimore, Sept. IA. Prohibition
lists all over the country are making
an effort to suppress the use of intox-
icating liquors, and while hope they
will succeed, | don't much thi-k they
will Reform must come from. within,
not from without. You cannot legis-
late for virtue" said Cardinal Gibbons.
His remarks were made during an ad-
dress following the pledge given to
the main portion of class he had con-
firmed in St. Mary's church, adjoining
Doughoregan manor, on the historic
old Carroll estate.
"There is but one thing to do" con-
tinued the cardinal, "and that is to
inculcate abstinence in young persons
so they may not become slaves to
liquor It's effects are found every
where, sometimes even among church
men. No church should tolerate
clergyman who drinks. If tendency
to drink is found among seminarians,
they should be asked to leave off
studying for the sacred ministry.
Should the superior of st. Charles col
lege, who is present, find among his
students one or another with an incli.
nation toward strong drink, he would
at once have that student removed.
Understand me, l do not mean to
say that it is sin to take little re-
freshment, but it should be taken at
the proper time, and once you are of
age you are not to make up for lost
time. The Catholic church does not
advocate extremes, but wisely, safely,
steers in the middle course"

Importa II Ordinances

The county conmisSion acting as
the town board. have passed two Or
dinances for the regulation of houses of
i'll fame in Elko. Ome of them prohibits
the employment of male musicians or
male piano players by the keepers of
such houses and prohibits the keepers
of said houses from permitting any male
piano player or musician from acting in
his capacity in any house of i'll fame.
The other makes it unlawful for any
person keeping said houses to permit
any person under eighteen years of age
to be or remain in any house of i'll fame
in the town of Elko.
The penalty for Il violation of either
OF the ordinances Is fixed at a fine not
greater than $500 Or imprisonment in
the county jail for IL term not exceeding
six months or by both such fine and i'm
prisonment.
The commissioners and District At
torney Taber have taken steps in the
right direction to purge the red light
district of some of the evils that flourish
there. 1t is now up to the officers to see
that the ordinances are enforced when
they become effective. If the one re-
latinS to piano players and musicians ia
enforced, it will rid the community of
a very undesirable class of citizens.
The other protects the young people
of both sexes. If such an ordinance had
b1en In effect ay,Lr ago, and had
been enforced it might have saved more
than one young girl from - life of
shame.
