WILL HAVE CASE
ONLY ONE DAY

CARSON CITY, Dec. 5. In the de-
cision recently handed down by the
supreme court between the Mohawk
Mining company and the Francis Mo.
hawk Mining and Leasing company
there is a strange condition. By the
ruling of the supreme court the loser
in a case has fifteen days IN which to
take steps toward further action and
the winner ten days in which to reply
before action can be finally taken By
the court. In this particular case it
would bring the matter up until the
30th day of the present month before
action could be taken. Judge Stevens,
to whose court the case has been re-
manded, will 90 out of Office at mid
night on the night of the 31st inst. and
as a consequence he will have only a
day in which to review the case, give
his decision and end the matter as far
as he is concerned. 1t is stated that
the sum of $4,000 has already been ex
pended in the trial of the case.

DEFENDS
The DIVORCE LAWS

Alfred Chartz, attorney of Carson
CITY. defends Nevada and her divorce
laws in the following signed state
ment:;
The California press particularly
and the press throughout the country
generally is continually reproducing
Nevada for it's divorce laws. Let us
look into the thing. The laws of Ne
vada are no more liberal than the laws
of the average of other states, except
New York, where adultery alone is a
ground for divorce, and South Caro-
lima, where no divorces are allowed AZ
all. There are a few other states
which contain less grounds than Neva-
da, and some contain more.
The kick that the press of the coun-
try generally registers against Neva-
da is to the effect that only six months
residence is necessary. But If the
party complaining has a good cause to
be divorced, what has the question of
period of residence to do with it'll In
other words, the cause of divorce, AMI
how much the party complaining has
been injured is far more important than
the period of residence.
In California particularly, and also
many other states, divorces are grant
ed on allegations and proofs of certain
acts that would not be considered sufh-
cient by any judge in Nevada. So, d.
vorces are granted in most other states
on less cause and for less reason than
in Nevada, but in Nevada it does not
require so long to acquire a residence
A right of action to remedy any wrong
should accrue the moment it is perpe
trated.

Young Woman Lay
 Down on Tracks and
 Beheaded By Train
Especial from United Press

Cleveland, April 9.-An unidentified young woman, apparently about 23, committed suicide the Nickel Plate tracks today by laying her head on the rail and waiting upntil a fast freight beheaded her. Two trains were due when the girl walked down to the tracks. A slow train came along first. She ran onto the tracks and stood there. The engineer started to slow down. Apparently losing her nerve, she jumped back as the train rolled by.
 The fast train came along in few moments. This time she deliberately lay down, her head across on rail- In an instant the train had thundered by and her headless body rolled into the ditch.

CIVIC CLEANLINESS.
How Women Can Advance the Work
of Municipal Housekeeping.

How Women Can Advance the Work
of Municipal Housekeeping.
More than thirty years ago the chief
Of the bureau Of health in Glasgow,
Scotland, city of the worst slums the
world has ever known, saw that it
would be impossible to relieve the sit
uation unless women could be appoint
ed to help in the work Of municipal
housekeeping. The women are the
home makers and keepers, and it need
ed women to teach them sane living
and make them acquainted with SAM
tary laws and regulations.
Lord Derby said, "Of what use is
sanitary legislation if it cannot be
practically applied?' The co-opera-
ton of the general public is needed to
make such laws effective. After much
effort women were appointed and call
ed health visitors. They went from
house to house, inspecting and educat-
ing the housekeepers in simple laws Of
sanitation. So much benefit was de-
rived from this innovation that soon
the large cities Of Great Britain fol-
lowed the example Of Glasgow. SAM
tary Institutes have been established
where men and women are trained to
teach public and domestic hygiene.
Yonkers, N. Y, was the first city in
America to have woman inspector
appointed by the board Of health. Such
good results were obtained that many
other cities in the United States fol-
lowed the example, and many more
would do so if public opinion could be
aroused to the absolute necessity of
such work.
