SATURDAY. AUGUST IA. 1909.
CANNOT VOTE OPEN BALLOT


Australian Ballot Law Explicit In Its
Provisions Regarding Same
The SENTINEL has been asked the fol-
lowing question: "Can IN elector vot-
ing under the Australian Ballot Law
vote or display an open ballot?"
In the Compiled Election Laws fur.
nished clerks and inspectors Of election,
the SENTINEL finds the following re-
garding the matter:
Section IS Of said law states that the voter
at his own option may vote an open or folded
ballot.
The above was the general law prior
to the adoption Of the Australian Bal
lot Law, and should not have been put
in the laws as the Australian Ballot
Law repeals all laws and parts OF law
in conflict with it. The Australian Bal
lot Law, under which electors now vote,
has the following provisions regarding
voting:
Sec. %. Before lsayins
the booth or compartment the voter shall ole
his ballot In such manner that the water mari
and the number Of the ballot shall appear OF
the outside, without exposing the stamps
upon the ballot. and shall keep It so folded
until he has voted.
Sec. 30. mo person shall
show his ballot to any person. after marking
it, so as to reveal any of the names voted Tor
No person shall ask another within 100 feet Of
the polling place for whom he intends to vote
Any person violating any provisions OF THU
section shall be deemed guilty Of . INSIDE
meanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall
be fined In a sum not less than $50, and mo-
exceeding $500, or by imprisonment in tn
county jail for term not less than one montl
and not exceeding six months"
The SENTINEL believes that the abov'
provisions of the Australian Ballot Law
are so plain that further comment is I'm
necessary.

tlOu8 Since afflNluk III ENcNuah.
For the first time in more than a third
of q century w. +. Mendes. q OF
the first settlers Of Duckwaser. Nye
County, visited Reno yesterday. The
! occasion OF his previous visit wal upon
his arrival in Nevada. Reno at that
time was q thriving little village. with
. few one-story shacks and a dozen or
swo trees. He spent a few months
around Virginia City and other Of the
booming mining camps and then went
down on the desert in Nye County and
built him a house at Duckwatsr. That
place has been his constant home since
that time. and his trip to Reno yester-
| day was the first time he had been so
far from home in more than 80 years.
Though tucked far awayin one corner
of the State, Mr.. Mendes has been a
strong factor 10 the States growth. He
has always taken q lively interest IN
public affairs, especially where they re-
late to the welfare of Nevada. His
home is one Of the models OF Nevada.
It consists of about 900 acres of land,
all under cultivation. He was one OF the
original locators Of the waters OF Duck
water creek. Not until recent years
was the value Of this water realiz d,
and now Mi. Mendes is having some
difficulty in protecting his rights. Tit
matter has just reached the courts. and
through the efforts Of State Engineer
Nicholas it is believed the matter will
be satisfactorily adjusted and that Mr..
Mendes' rights will be made secure &c
him and his family.
He is q native of Portugal, where he
was born March 2. 1854 In 1882 he wal
married to Miss Mary Jaquith. daughtel
of one of the pioneer families of Nevada
They now have three children, one SOL
and two daughters. His brother. Jess
Mendes, is also one of the pioneer resi-
dents Of Duckwater. Mr.. Mendes is al
enthusiastic believer in fraternal organi
cations. He is one of the leading mem
bers of Eureka Lodge No. 16 OF tn
Masonic Order.
1--WE have no reason to complain o
the crop conditions around Duckwate
this season" said M. Mendes yester
day. "The yield has been more thai
satisfactory. and we are encourages
with the outlook for q good market AM
fair prices for our product. There ha
been some difficulty over the question Q
water rights out our way. but l lei
J.. certain everything will be satisfactory
t adjusted. 1t is difficult to set aside
prior right, which l possess for my LIANT
History will show this. and when th
, matter is investigated l believe the al
thorities will see hat justice ia give
those who are entitled to it. This is a
l hope for or ask"

WHEELER OR SNEEZER?
Have You Heard of Hyomei for Catarrh,
Asthma and Hay Fever?

If you wheeze or sneeze, hawk or
spit, shuttle or blow, something is the
matter with the membranes Ct your
respiratory tract, and you need Hyo-
mel.
And you need Hyomei because it will
cure you of any catarrhal or infiam-
matory condition that exists.
1t isn't stomach medicine. or spray,
or douche, but very pleasant, heal
ing, antiseptic balsam, from the
eucalyptus forests of Australia. You
breathe this balsamic air through a
small, hard rubber inhaler, and it
reaches every nook, corner anu crevice
of the membrane, and promptly kills
the catarrh germs
Fred D. Pierce will sell you a COM
plete Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
outfit for $1.00, on the money back
plan. ''The use of Hyomei cured
Mr.. Cutler of catarrh in 1904. He has
strongly endorsed the use of Hyomei in
many instances, and we are glad to &C
on record regarding his marvellous
catarrh cure, and endorse it. Mrs

Special Boston Market Letter

(The following market report is fur
nished the Monitor every Tuesday
night by special arrangement with E.
E. Wilson Co., z Blackstone St.. Bos-
ton, commission merchant, and will be
found reliable. Ed
Boston, Mass, March 16.
BUTTER: This market has fairly
steady tone on strictly fine goods, but
a very weak and unsettled market on
everything else. The buying is in a
small way picking up with very few
large lots moving; the trades are
holding on, expecting quite a little
lower prices, but judging from the
looks of things at this writing there
is considerable doubt of their realizing
their expectations. The market acts
as though it might hold steady. if not
do a little better and buyers that are
waiting may be obliged to pay the
market price. Fancy northern cream
cry can be quoted from 29c to SOC
and some strictly fancy western is
bringing 29c to 20 IL, but the
majority of goods from the west and
a good many from the north show
defects and hard to sell at top quota
tions and as soon as the quality leaves
the grade of strictly fancy, it goes
back to a class that is selling slow.
We find very good demand for choice
Vermont diaries and some of the best
lots in tubs are selling at 27c; medium
grades anywhere from 24c to 26c,
pound boxes and choice prints selling
from 28c to 29c.
EGGS: Market is holding fairly
steady to-day and it may be barely
possible that we have seen low prices
for the time being. There is fairly
good trade around which seems to
take supplies as fast as they arrive
here. Fancy memories can be quoted
from % to 24c, and some fancy easterns
are bringing about the same price.
| The same quotations should apply to
fancy Vermont and New York state,
|
westerns were freely offered yesterday
at 20 1-2c and there were some selling
this morning at that price, this after.
noon the market is from 20 1-2c to 21c
but there are larger supplies near
here which may put the market back
little most any day.
POULTRY: Receipts continue light
and we find very good market fol
all desirable goods, fancy fowl to-day
have sold from 16 1-2c to TIC, and the
latter price seems to be about top,
very few soft meated chickens coming
here, but they could be quoted round
Ice to zoe.
NOTE: We expect a little better
inquiry round for the medium grades
of butter and fairly steady tone or
eggs.
