REBELS MEET TNICARAGUAN ARMY AT RECREO AND BOUTS
 VASQUEZ.
TROOPS BELIEVE CAUSE LOST
Insurgents in Effort to Be With Victor at End-Vasquez De-
 serts Command.

Bluefie1ds, via wireless to Colon The insurgents have scored a very decided success in their initial as- sault upon the positions occupied by General Vasquez, the Zelayan com mander. The latter's men have been driven in confusion from Recreo, and that place is now in the hands of Estrada's men.
 It is generally believed here that this success spells the beginning of the end for the Zellya adhernts. The assault on Recreo was participated in by the combined troops under Gen. erals Pacheco, Chamorra, Matuty and Fornes Diaz. The fighting was of sanguinary character, but no part iculars of casualties are obtainable.
 Ground Stubbornly Contested.
 The Vasquez forces were barricaded behind strong entrenchments, but the valor of the insurgents Uas not to be denied. and the Vasquez forces could not stand their onslaught.
 Recreo, which is at the head of navigation on the Mico river, was the strongest point held by the Zelaya troops, and it's loss is declared to mean a sweeping victory for the in- surgents, as it is not believed Vas quez can make another determined stand
 There is belief here that the speedy surrender of General VasQuezs army can be looked for. They are reported thoroughly disheartened by the re- verse, and it is not thorught Vasquez can maintain the integrity of his troops longer in the face of the en- thusiasm of the insurgent army.
 In telephone messages to the head quarters of the provisional govern ment here, Gen. Estrada told of the insurgent victories, and the capture of 300 Zelayans after sharp fighting.
 The fight of Vasquez is regarded as of the utmost significance. Adolfe Diaz, secretary of the insurgent gov ernment received the communication from Estrada.
 Advance parties were sent out to feel the way by the rebels. The Ze- layans were driven on by forces un- der General Fornos Diaz, Chamorra and Mena.

VALUATION At
RHYOLITE HAS
BEEN REDUCED
FIGURES SHOW DECREASE IN
AMOUNT OF TAXABLE
PROPERTY
Capital, Surplus and Undivided Profits

In the last issue of the Rhyolite
Herald there appears an article
stating that the valuation of tax
able property in the Rhyolite dis
trict is higher than last year. The
story is as follows:
Property holders in the Bullfrog
district have expected a reduction in
valuation this year, but in this they
have been disappointed. The offic-
ial list of taxpayers issued this week
by Sheriff j. j. Owens shows an in
crease for Rhyolite precinct of ap-
proximately $4,000 over last year
THE 1909 assessments for Rhyo-
lite total $528,S24 against $4O5,61S
F., for 1908, and $2,171,391,37 for
1907. The 1907 assessment covered
the entire ,Bullfrog district. The
Pioneer and Beatty lists are includ-
ed with Round Mountain and Man
haitian and 1t is impossible to seq
regate same for computation.
"The tax rate for Rhyolite this
year is $685.; for Pioneer, Beatty
and Manhattan $3.50; for Tonopah,
$3.40; remainder of county, $3.50.
Last year the Rhyolite rate was
$3.55, making a reduction of 20
: cents this year.
Taxes are due and payable No
vember 1, 1909. Taxes will become
delinquent and 10 per cent will be
! added after December 6. The board
: of equalization will meet next Mon
: day at Tonopah."
The article is erroneous in the
statement concerning the increase
of taxation. The total amount OF
Z the assessment roll for the yea
J. 1908 was $570,419, while the tota
/ for 1909 shows $52S,S24, which il
8 a decrease of $41,595. The asses

DEPARTING GUEST
MRS. KEY PITTMAN ENTER
TAINS IN HONOR OF MRS.
VAIL MONTGOMERY

One of the most enjoyable occas- !
ions that has taken place in this
city for a considerable time, oc-
CURED yesterday when Mrs. Key
Pittman entertained at a luncheon
in honor of Mrs. Vail Montgomery,
Of Louisiana, who has been visiting
her nephews, Key Pittman, w. B.

The luncheon was served in the
Mizpah grill Room, which had been
artistically decorated for the occas-
ion. The decorations were unique,
in fact those present stated that it
was the prettiest artistic effect ever
/ seen in Tonopah. This work was
carried out solely. by Mrs. Pittman.
The scheme was an assortment Of
sage brush and specimens of por-
phyry. The table was of rough
pine board on horses, over which
the linen was spread. In the cen
ter was placed monument of rocks
entertained with punches of sage
brush. A prospectors' camp fire oc-
cupied the center from which a. red
light gave the appearance of real
fire. Suspended from a rod held by
two forked sticks, swung the multi
gan pot, one of the most necessary
furnishings to a prospecting outfit,
TAT one side stood the coffee pot
while the remaining utensils were
scattered over the rocks with col
lections of empty cans. The sim
: plicity of the arrangement made Il
: all the more beautiful.

Gifts to Babies.

There are certain prescribed customs

! of a young mother. For instance. the

to those whom it concerns. and for friends
| to pass it over unnoticed is tactless, and
| may even be called rude.
Intimate friends :uaily know of the
expected event, and if the mother has
shown a courtesy at any time to an &C
quaintance it is an excellent opportunity
| to express it's appreciat on by sending
| small gift for the coming arrival. For
| such a present it Is not nece sary to spend
much money, as S1.5O or 81 will buy a
| dainty gift. With present should be
sent a visiting card, on which are written
few Lines of good wishes. For instance.
| one may write, with all good wishes for
the little stranger" One woman VINO
| sent a silk-covered hot-water bag for
| new baby wrote on her card: With best
wishes and a warm welcome Still an
| other expression is: May all good fairles

| Such gifts are supposed to precede the
birth, but they may also be sent a rev
weeks afterward. In responding to such

PASTES TO CURE
Ct1APPED HANDS IN WINTER
Lotions Are Made of Creams and Other Softening
and Refining Ingredients.

Nightly applications of cold cream or
grease in some form will prevent the
hand from chapping and. if one puts on
a pair of kid gloves afterward, then the
condition of the skin will become soft
and fine in a comparatively short period
of time. There is no better treatment
than this combination of kid and healing
grease to soften and refine the flesh.
AS to the gloves worn at night, they
must be at least size too large, SO there
will be no discomfort, and holes must be
punched in the palms to admit air, SO the
skin will not be too warm. For this pur-
pose, buy pair of cheap white gloves.
If there are men in the family, pair be-
longing to one of them may be confis-
Gated, as their size renders them espe-
cially suitable.
Some of the healing pastes specially in
tended for the hands, while peculiarly
beneficial In effect, if not kept in cold
place are likely to go through chemi-
cal change, and so lose som. of their
healing qualities. One excellent paste is
made from one-half an ounce of myrrh.

of yellow wax, and three ounces OF rose
