ANOTHER MURDER PARDON.
This Time 1t Is Charlie Pirkle Who
Is the Favored One.

Governor HOke Smith granted a
pardon Saturday to Charlie Pirkle,
a young white man sent to the pen
itentiary several years ago for muir
der in Hall county.
Pirkle and Harvey Slower were
convicted of Staying an aged white
woman named Christina Blakely.
Slower later escaped from the peni-
tertiary and has not been caught
or heard from since.
The commission recently declined
to pardon Pirkle. His application
was based on some doubt as to
his guilt. 1t was claimed that the
woman alleged to have been slain
was addicted to drink, and that many
believe this caused her death.
The case was taken up by the gov
ernor, with the result that Pirkle
will join the other fifty or more life
term men released from the peniten-
tiary during the past fifteen months.

Shellman is now the scene of

stores, with solid glass fronts, and
will probably add a second story
over these buildings, to be an opera

tin will in a few days begin the
erection of a twO-story office build
ing. Besides these buildings there
are quite a number of handsome resi-
dences going up all over town.
One of the latest additions to the
town was the organization of the
Shellman Military Band, composed of
some of the leading men of the town.
The band has a handsome $500 set
of Instruments, and under the di-
rection of Professor S. V. DeTren-
mis- of Eufaula is making rapid
progress.

WILL GOVERNOR OR PRISON BOARD WIN?
State Treasurer Park Will Appeal to the Attorney Gen
era1 Before Paying Out Convict Money

Governor Smith has reached the
conclusion that with the near beer
tax on hand the commission has
sufficient funds to meet its expenses
this year, and states that he will
soon draw his warrant for the money
and authorize the treasurer to dis
tribute it among the counties to
whom it belongs.
Just what Treasurer Park will do
in case he receives the governors
warrant, and at the same time re-
ceives a requisition from the COM
mission for a portion Of the fund is
not known. 1t was stated at the
treasurer's office Tuesday that before
the money is disposed of finally Judge
Harris opinion may be asked in case
the prison commission demands a
portion of it.

SOCIETY WOMEN DRINKERS
CALLS THEM GREATEST DRUNK
ARDS. INCREASING RAPIDLY.
Man Who Has Cured Hundreds Says
Women Who Acquire Taste for
Booze Don't Want to Lose 1t.

NEW YORK-The New York So
ciety woman who drinks to excess
is the most hopeless inebriate in the
world. She is hopeless because, in
spite of all she may say, she does
not want to stop drinking
You can give her medicine for it;
you can hypnotic her for it; you
can do anything you please. Then,
when you think you have her safe
on the water wagon" she goes out
to a dinner or supper, and with mall
ice aforethought promptly tumbles
off. Now, what can you do with a
person like that?
That is practically the charge
made in a lecture by DR.. John D.
QuackenbOS, whose experiments with
well known women and men patients
who have come to him for hypnotic
treatment for the drink disease have
given him an opportunity to study
the influence of alcohol on both
sexes.
1T is to be deplored, said the
doctor, that the increase in the con-
sumption of stimulants among the
we'll to do is estimated at 10 per cent.
during the last decade in the case
OF men and a much larger percentage
in that of women.
Especially alarming is the growth
of the practice among our society wo-
men, and their Indifference to any
hope of recovery.
When the American woman af-
fects a habit she affects it in a SUI
perlative degree. | treated one wo-
man whose weekly bill for cham
payne exceeded 500.
She came to me for treatment,
not very willingly, | must admit,
and, apropos, the chief reason that
woman does not yield readily to
treatment for alcoholism is because
she does not want to help herself.
This is the difference between men
and women victims of the practice.
The punch bowl figures at all func-
lions, and proud women dip freely
therein ten drinking today where
one drank a dozen years ago.
School misses and college girls
are conspicuous among the throng.
Debutantes unblushingly assert
right to drink and smoke cigarettes
at luncheons and dinners, to say
nothing of private Indulgence. Not
a few of this class, as we'll as young
married women, have been brought
to my office in a state of intoxica-
ton
The abstemious, unobstrusive
young woman of the past generation
is giving place to a coarse and boist-
erous bon vivant controlled by un-
worthy impulses and wholly insult
ed to fill her function in the home
as a character former and a wife
Some one has said that the moral in
terests of the nation are in the hands
OF women; but the only way by
which women can lead men straight
is to be straight themselves.
DR.. Quackenbos said that of 700
persons who came to him intermit-
tently for treatment eighty became
permanent patients and were event
ually cured through suggestion.

FERTILIZER WAR is W0BBLY.
But the Old Scale of Prices Will Not
Be Set Up Right Now.

1t is stated that fertilizer manu-
facturers are trying to arrange a
truce in the fertilizer war that has
brought prices down almost to rock
bottom.
The war was brought about large
ly through the efforts of the small
mixers who bought ingredients and
mixed them at home, selling the
product at prices with which the big
manufacturers had to compete. The
result was drop in price of s. to
Sc ton. One week alone the price
went down as much as SO.
Representative of the big manu-
facturers now say there is a rift in
the clouds, and while they are MAX
ing no definite statement predict an
early termination of the contest. 1t
is said, however, that the prices will
not go back to the old figures, and
that the new prices will be something
in the nature of a compromise.

ATLANTA $4,000 which
the state of Georgia received from
the last quarter of the convict lease
system is to be distributed among
the counties which did not have con-
victs under the old system, accord
ing to a letter which Governor Smith
submitted Tuesday to State Treas
urer r. E. Park.
That is, the fund will probably be
distributed that way. Secretary
GoodIoe Yancy of the prison COM
mission stated Tuesday that the mon
ey will not be 50 distributed yet
awhile because the prison commission
needs a goodly portion of it to meet
the expenses of that body and that
Treasurer Park will hold it until the
commission decides just how much
of it will be needed.

WAR BEGUN ON HOUSE FLY
It's Dirty Little Pest, Says Profess
SOr Beyer, and Spreads Disease.

It's Dirty Little Pest, Says Profess
sOr Boyer, and Spreads Disease.
Health Officer Woodward of the
District Of Columbia has begun a
campaign against the house fly, and
congratulations are pouring into his
office. The war on flies started last
summer has spread throughout the
country, and the governments test
in Washington will be watched by
the health Otncers of all the big cities
of the United States.
DR.. Woodward received a letter
from Prof. George E. Boyer in which
he said:
The house fly, the dirty fly, the
typhoid and cholera infantum fly, will
soon swarm in thousands of millions,
unless precautions are taken. The
house fly, which we were taught in
our childhood to treat with kindness,
has been exposed. It's habits are
filthy. 1t breeds in stables and gar
bage pals and carries the filth it
reyels in and tracks it across the
sugar, the butter and the beefsteak.
1t paddles it's horrid feet, gummed
with the vilest rotting matter, in
baby's milk.
1T probably disseminates every
disease. 1t must be eXterminated.
1t can be driven out of every city.
In an age of knowledge, screens and
clean disinfectants there is no ex-
cuse for flies in any household. Clean
up your premises and report to the
health department your neighbor
who does not. Get rid of breeding
places of flies and you will get rid
of the flies D."

jumping while the train was running
rapidly. He was later picked up I'M

A "KITTY" OF s18O,OOO,O 600
as Annual Cost of Speculative
Game in United States.

Game IN nIteO States.
There are a score of Wall street
brokerage houses that make from
$15O,O0O, to 100000 annually in
years not marked by Iessened specu-
lation due to financial and industrial
depression. There are hundreds of
other houses that are disappointed
with returns which fall below sucn
figures as $125,OOO, 100000 and
SIS, 900. 1t seems reasonable to as
sumo that there are two thousand
speculative firms in the United States
with an average net income of $20,-
600 each. Every consideration tends
to prove that this is an ultra-con-
sentative statement, yet it implies
that our speculative friends must dig
down into their pockets for another
$40, 100000 before they can hope to
extract dividends from the quota
tiOnS which are manufactured for
them on the various exchanges.
The approximate annual cost of
the speculative game to those who
patrOnize brokers and commission
men in the United States is thus in
Dictated in this recapitulatiOn:
| Operating expenses Of
speculative firms. 500, 900, 900
Profits to such firms

paid by customers. e. 40,000,000
| Paid by customers to
banks on interest ac-
count ....... 4O,OOO,OOO
Cost of the game. $3.50, 100000
Let there be no misapprehension
concerning the nature of that total
of $3.50, 100000. 1t does not imply
that this is the gross amount of loss
sustained by those who speculate in
, Wall street and elsewhere 1t has
nothing to do with that. This

ClOuDDURST At RAWH DE.
Much Damage Done By The
Wall of Water That Ran
Through Town.

Word reached Fallon about eight
O'Clock Tuesday evening by telephone
that cloudburst of most disastrous
size was in progress in Rawhide, and
that great damage was being inflicted.
Later the wires were destroyed leading
from Rawhide and complete returns
from the scene of the catastrophe was
not had until yesterday morning when
survey of the ruins disclosed the fact
that the damage was not as great as
was supposed and that no lives were
lost. The K. C. Stage barns were de-
stroyed by wall of water about four
feet in height and forty feet in width
that swept down the gulch, containing
Rawhide's business section. The wall
of water took with it many tent houses
and light mining camp paraphernalia
and swept down into Squattertown,
which vas inundated. The Proskey
lease No. One, suffered practically OBJ
liberation, the blacksmith shop, der
ricks, hoists and other movable ma
chinery being washed down the gulch,
while the shaft was completely filled
with water and debris
Although number of Fallon people
have property interests in Rawhide,
no damage save that sustained by the
X. c. stage company has been reported.
Luckily, the stage stock was saved.
Many individual acts of herosm
have been reported and had it not been
for the gallant work of the male popu-
lation of the camp, it is said that a
number of women and children would
have lost their lives.

THE COMING COUNTY FAIR
Will Be a Hummer. Every
body Is Looking For
ward To 1t.

The committees engaged in preparing
for the county fair of the 18th, 10th,
18th and 18th are meeting with hearty
response, and it now looks as though
the coming fair will surpass the one of
year ago in every respect, although
at first it seemed hopeless task, so
good was last years fair. But the ex-
hibits are being prepared and line
can now be had that warrants the con-
clusion that mark will he set this
year that will be nard in future years
to surpass.
Hon. r. L. Fulton, of Reno has ac-
cepted the invitation extended to speak
to the fair patrons. He is said to be a
clever platform orator and knows a lot
of useful things about our great state
of Nevada that should be of interest to
local residents.
The committee having in charge the
publicity end of the fair has sent out
complimentary tickets to the press of
the state and prominent people and it
is hoped that many people will be here
from outside sections to witness the
collection of county products that
will be on exhibit here during fair week.
A baseball game between Reno's
first team and Fallon is being arranged
and effort is being made to make of
this day sort of Reno day and an ex-
cursion may be arranged from the
metropolis to Fallon TO enable all who
may wish to come an opportunity to
take in the states most magnificent
agricultural district the very heart
of the state, if you please.
Another feature that promises 10
attract wide spread attention is the
projected young ladies horseback parade.
Churchill county has some very clever
lady riders and their aggregation is
planning to make dazzling showing
on one of the fair days.

Of MINING WORK
Nevada Wonder and Nevada
Hills Company Making
Preparations.

From all appearances, it would seem
that the Nevada Hills Mining Company
and the Wonder Mining Company are
contemplating compact whereby they
will use jointly both water and power
for mine development. This Is the
rumor now in the air, and it seems to
be we'll founded, for Manager w. H.
Webber, of the Nevada Hills Company
and j. B. Daniels, of the Wonder Mining
Company, passed through Fallon Tues
day on their way out to the mining dis
trlct. where the deal will be gone over
thoroughly.
The three years of development work
has demonstrated that neither of these
magnificent properties can ever hope to
attain their best until plenty of good
water and an abundance of power are
to be had, thus allowing the operation
of a mill or mills for the treating of
the ores, which are abundant and of
high grade. The long wagon haul
and expensive freight charges to out
side centers for treatment form bur-
den of expenses almost prohibitive.
Appropos the power matter it is highly
interesting to note that the Nevada
Hills mining force struck water re-
Gently on the three hundred and fifty
foot level that is said to be of excellent
quality and well adapted to use in
milling ores. The stream is OF unlim-
tied quantity and was turned loose into
the mine shafts by blast while drift
ing. The water poured into the mine
until it had attained depth OF fifty
feet and rather than being disappointed
with this new phase, the mine manage
ment is jubilant, for it considers seri-
GUS problem solved, that of having a
supply of good water available for mil
ling purposes.
If the mine owners in conference
really want power, they should talk to
Uncle Sam, for he has several thous-
and horse power now going to waste,
that he is perfectly willing to lease on
terms to suit the most exacting.
When asked about the projected
mill for the Wonder mine Mr.. Daniels
stated that November 1st would see
this important undertaking under way
and that twenty stamp unit would be
installed first. According to Mr..
Daniels something like sixty thousand
tons of milling ore is now blocked out
and the supply is unlimited. He says
the resumption of mining, which means
so much to this section, will occur soon
and that the markets SO much desired
now, will be had.

The new public school building, that
cost the taxpayers of this district
around $l5, 200 is now crowded almost
to its full capacity and the attendance
is not nearly what it will be in another
month. Miss Anna b. Coffrin's room,
housing the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades has but vacant seat or two
and before another week passes will be
crowded to overflowing. 1t seems too
bad that SO much money was spent in
erecting building that cannot possibly
be adequate to the demands that will
soon be placed upon it.

erect and equipp rest room for ladies'
and children who live in the districts
around Fallon and happen to be in town
for few hours. The purpose is a
laudable one and the Artemisia club
should be encouraged in substantial
manner by every local resident.

CHURCHILL COUNTY RAO|UM
Uranium Bearing Rock Found
In Large Quantities
Here.

The committee in charge of collect
ing mineral specimens from this county,
composed of N. r. Fitzpatrick, Joe
Jarvis and J. W. Ferguson, shipped
four hundred pounds of samples Mon
day and when they have completed
their work they expect that fully ton
of specimens handsomely grouped into
the many different classes found in
this section, will be on exhibit at the
Goldfeld mining congress as partial
evidence of our mineral resources. In
cluded in the exhibit from this county
will be ores carrying gold, silver, cop
per, lead and iron; gold bearing sand
borax, soda and salt samples, oil bear
ing rock and precious stones.
The committee is also working upon
AN exhibit that should prove a special
feature down in Goldfield, in the nature
of group of samples carrying a per-
eentage of radium. Particles Of this
rock have been sent to the University
of California chemists, who have tested
them and state that radium is plainly
in evidence and in sufficient quantity to
give the rock great value.
The Southern Pacific Company is
generously carrying the mineral exhibits
for the Goldfeld Mining Congress free
of charge, concession that allows of
more general representation of our
resources than would otherwise be
possible.
