JOHN KELLY
PASSES AWAY AT
BUTTE MONT.
BELOVED BROTHER OF TONO-
PAH RESIDENTS ANSWERS
FINAL SUMMONS

A telegram was received in this
city yesterday announcing the death
of John Morris Kelly, aged 40, who
passed away yesterday morning at
Butte, Mont. The dispatch further
stated that the interment would
take place Thursday afternoon.
The deceased was native of
Gold Hill, New, and was well known
throughout the state. He is sur
vived by two brothers and two sis
ters, all of Tonopah. They are
Mrs. w. J. Sinclair, Mrs. G. w.
Strosnider Henry Kelly and James
J. Kelly.
Several months ago the relatives
were summoned to the bedside of
the deceased, for at that time he
was in a precarious condition. He
started to get better, however, and
1t was thought he would recover.
A dispatch was sent to Butte yes
terday following the receipt of the
one announcing the death, in an en-
deavor to have the funeral post
poned day in order to allow the
relatives in this city to attend, and
last evening an answer was received
the request. Mrs. Sinclair
will leave this morning to attend
the funeral.

THE MAN OF
THE HOUR" PLAYS
) TO GOOD HOUSE
A CAPABLE COMPANY PRESENTS
STRONG PLAY LAST
EVENING

The largest gathering of local
theatre-goers to witness a perform
ance in Tonopah for many a day,
was present last evening when the
curtain arose on the first act of
THE Man of the Hour a play
which has held in it's grasp record
breaking crowds wherever it has
been presented, from New York to
San Francisco. The play is one
which involves some of the most in
teresting phases of American social,
financial and political life, and at
times drive home to the hearts of
those who witness the unfolding of
its plot unanswerable argument as
to honesty of purpose, irrespective
of cost.
The play as produced last even
ing won the admiration of the rec
ord house of the season, and the
commentator of the patrons for
the daring evinced by Arthur J.
Aylesworth, the local manager, who
brought the company to this city
under a guarantee. His friends ex-
press much gratitude for the pleas
ure he afforded them by presenting
an attraction such as 1.-The Man of
the Hour" And it is apparent that
his ventures in this direction in
the future will not be without just
reward
The company playing last night
was capable, and several of the in
dividual members thereof won I'M
stinted praise from the audience by
their clever work. John Moore, as
Richard Horrigan, the political boss;
Arthur Maitland, as Alwyn Bennett,
the mayor; Felix Haney, as James
Phelan, the alderman, as well as
Miss Reader and Miss Florence
Mack, in their respective roles, came
in for an abundant share of COM
mendation.
1t is not often that those of the
desert have an opportunity to wit
ness a play which has won it's spurs
before critical audiences of New
York and little old Boston, and the
play-goers of Tonopah will appre-
ciate Mr.. Aylesworth's efforts all
the more because of the pleasure of
having seen The Man of the Hour"

HOMELESS LAD
Is LOOKED AFTER
BY The SHERIFF
YOUTH ARRIVES FROM GEORGES
CANYON IN SEARCH OF
AN UNCLE

Harry Belford, a 10-year-old lad,
was found by Sheriff Owens last
night, wandering around Tonopah
attired in garments that might have
proved comfortable during the sum
mer months, but which were far
from sufficient to keep the lad warm
and comfortable
The boy came in from Georges
Canyon yesterday, where he had
been living with the family of F. M.
Wall, the assayer. He made the
trip on a freight wagon and was
under the impression that an uncle,
Camille Rock. was in this city and
would meet him. The youth yester-
day afternoon searched the town
over but was unable to find the rel
ative. He was without funds and
was in quite a serious predicament
when Sheriff Owens encountered
him, standing in front of the Miz-
pah hotel shivering from the cold.
The sheriff took the boy in hand
and after providing a warm supper
sent the youngster to a rooming
house. The youthful traveller will
be looked after by the sheriff until
the missing uncle is found This
party is thought to be in Goldfield
and il he does not arrive today, Ow-
ems will communicate with Sheriff
Bradley of Esmeralda, and request
him to take up the search.

Are Too Low.

Are Too Low.
Sixty manufacturers OF. hats and whole
sale dealers in hats from New York
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Conuecti-
cut. and sixteen other States were given
a hearing yesterday by Chairman Aldrich
and other Republican members Of the
Finance Committee Of the Senate.
James Mitchell, Of FAN River. the
spokesman, said that the hat makers
could not continue 10 make fur hats If
tho rates OF duty in the Senate bill be
came law. The House, he said. had given
a needed increase on the present rates.
and the hat makers did not make any
effort 70 have the Senate Committee on
Finance provide for giving the same
measure Of protection as the House gave.
But the Senate committee. instead of in
creasing the duties. had made cut Of
. per cent in the present rates.
The hat makers thought the Republican
members OF the Senate committee were
their friends. and said so to Senator AID
rich and his colleagues, who promised to
consider the representations made. Sena-
tors Brandegee and Bulkeley, Of Connec-
ticut, accompanied the delegation.
