Then Oracle would try to make eX

thing or that as the real cause of her
negligence. But her poor mother at her
wits end to devise some way by which
Oracle might be aroused TO a sense of
her duty. would shake her head and say:
Dearest child. there is no excuse for

of time for both and should force your

And while Mrs. Wilson was thus ad-
vising and entreating her eldest daughter
to do her duty in such small household
matters, Norma was busy tidying up her
dainty room sewing on her summer

on buttons and hooks and eyes. She was

ENDORSEMENT PUT THROUGH.
Jeffersonian Club Finally Passes
Resolution Amid Silence of Many.

The entire Expositor staff and a
few Democrats met at the office
OF c. A. Eddy, Friday evening. and
after considerable wrangling, en-
dorsed the candidacy of the pro-
prietor Of the Expositor for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor

by Clarence J. McFadden and after

luton. which had been prepared in
the Expositor office. endorsing the
proprietor of the Expositor for the
Democratic nomination. Before a
vote could be taken, John Weber,
who Is one of the old time Demo-
Gratis and who has always favored
Democrats, who are such both in

that Mr.. Coleman had no reason to
believe that the owner of the Ex-
positor was going to support Repub-
licans and that the Expositor would
be loyal to all democratic candidates.
This assurance from the editor of the

ing prosperity will be more develop
ment work in the mines and pros
poets; II will encourage the workers

properties, 1t will stimulate BUSINESS
throughout the country, and will set
in motion the money which has been
held to so tightly waiting for the
moment when the question of finan-
ces would be settled, and matters
once more on a solid basis. Not that
there ever was fear, the slightest
fear of a panic in this country. There
could not be any danger Of this fro m
the very condition of things: the TN
settled state of affairs was due to
politics and not to economics. and
the danger of political interference
has been eliminated by the conserva-
tive financial men of the country.
The turn in the affairs of the coun-
try has not been the work of a day
nor a week, nor month. 1t has been
a steady growth, and those who have
kept their eyes on the signs of the
times could not have been insensible
to 1t. Reports from he eastern
financial centers inform us tnat the

the foundation of the financial sys-

news could come than they have
money and money in plenty to loan
1t is an announcement to the world
that there is plenty of money in the
country for the financing of enter

wheels of advance going round. For
some months past we have been kept
informed of the increase of business

These things are matters which

the movement is now getting into
full swing. It is a foolish notion
that opportunities knock only once

1t looks as If the start on the up
ward grade in the copper market had
been begun for fair; in fact the up
ward trend has not been confined to
coppers. but has spread to all sorts
of securities and industries. The
dawn of another era of prosperity ap-
pears to be at hand, as was fore
shadowed in these columns last week
The reason given for the advance in
coppers is that an agreement has
been reached among the big pro-
ducers to curtail production; and this
has been just as strenously denied by
the producers. But whatever the rea-
son the advance has come, and there
Is no longer any doubt of its being a
genuine advance, and not a reaction
ary move from a bear raid 1t is a
bad time to be short on coppers, or
on securities of any character.
And all this movement, this hustle
in the big world. this setting of finan-
ces in motion portends the best of
things for the Robinson district. The
report of the Nevada Consolidated
has just been issued and it is of the
greatest Importance to the district, to
the community and to the country as
well as the state. We are producing
In the district the cheapest copper in
the world. The report of the Ne
vada Consolidated shows that for the
past three months the copper ore of
the steam shovel pit has been con-
verted into the red metal at a cost of
6.34 cents per pound. Indeed from
private sources 1t is learned that in
the month of June the production
was made at the extremely low cost
OF II cents pound.
1t has come to be the fashion of
the deep mine operators to deery the
statements of the porphyry ore pro-
ducers; and to deny that copper can
be turned out at so low a cost. But
here are facts and figures which not
only shames them into silence but
which must open their eyes to the op-
portunities of the Robinson district.
II will open the eyes of others too,
and bring new capital into the field,
revivifying the interest the world
over in this the lowest cost copper
producing district of all the world.
1t looks very much like a repetition
of the immediate history of the past
in Ely, for IL was just about this time
year ago that the boom in eoppers
began. and in the upward movement
this district was the leader.

YOUNG woMAN's SUICIDE.
Becomes Despondent Over Absence
of Husband and Ends Life.

Suspended by a rope from the
rafters in the stable, the lifeless body
of Mrs. E. G. Austin was found by
her sister, Mrs. Alex Mobiles, at her
farm in Pleasant Valley. last Sun
day Life had been extinct about
half an hour. The coroner of Tooele
county. Utah, was Immediately noti-
fed, and he at once departed for the
scene of the tragedy. An inquest
was held and verdict returned flnd-
ing that the deceased came to her
death by suicide.
The peculiar actions of Mrs. Aus
tin had been noted by her sister for
several days. She had noticed that
she seemed depressed and worried,
but aside from wondering whether
1t was ill-health or bad news, she
gave the matter little consideration,
the thought of so desperate an act
being contemplated not occurring to
her. Sunday Mrs. Mobiles missed
her sister from the house and the
protracted absence caused her to in
vestigate the cause, fearing some ac-
cident might have happened. Upon
entering the barn, the shocking sight
which met her gaze told the story.
Mrs. Austin had secured a large
box and placed 1t in the stable.
Standing upon this, the young wom-
an securely attached a rope to the
rafters, which were just within her
reach. and, making a loop in the 9TH
er end of the rope, she placed 1t
around her neck and then kicked the
box from under her. The distance
she had to drop was not sufficient to
break her neck and she slowly
strangled to death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Austin are we'll
known in this district and other min
ing camps of the state, he having
been interested in prospecting and
the development of claims for many
years.
Mr.. Austin went to Dolly Warden
about four years ago, from which
place he went to Elko, where he spent
some time developing his claims in
that neighborhood, and last January
went to Jarbidge and soon thereafter
sold his claims. Since that time no
word had come to his wife concern
ing him and his whereabouts were
unknown. She has made every ef-
fort to locate him, going to Salt Lake
on a rumor that ne was there, only
to be told by the officers after a
search for him, that no trace had
been found. Later. hearing that he
was in Hazen, she communicated
with the deputy sheriff at that point,
but to no avail
Deputy Sheriff Jake Fulmer saw
Austin in Reno, some weeks ago, and
talked with him. Austin told him

DIVORCES A MINISTER.
Mrs. Martha E. Hall Refuses to Sup.
port a Husband.

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 27.-"As long
as you work for us both I will live
with you but when I have to work I
will do it only for myself"
Mrs. Martha E. Hall says that this
is the text by which her husband, the
Rev. Mr.. Hall has conducted his life
in the six years of their welded life.
The text became null and void this
morning when Thomas c. Wilson,
judge of the district court, gave Mrs.
Hall an absolute divorce from her
husband and restored her maiden
name of Martha E. Mccormick.
She said that her husband persuad-
ed her to let him purchase a house in
Lawrence, Kan, with her money. They
intended to operate a boarding house
but when the question of work came
to the scratch Mr.. Hall generously
proposed the above motto for copart-
nership. Mrs Hall did the work she
says while Mr.. Hall played chess and
checkers at the Y. NJ. c. A. building.
Then she came back to Wichita and
sued for divorce.
