! the fire it cannot be expected that
any records for speed will be broken
The Warren Engine Company has
received drawings and estimates on
an auto chemical and hose machine
which will answer the purpose of all
! the equipment in their possession
and insure their delivery in one
tenth the time required now. By
disposing OF the present chemical it
is figured that the combination ma
chine can be landed here for about
$1,000 The amount may seem large
but one fire will pay for the entire
machine The only additional cost
will be the employment Of man ca
pable to handle the machine. but in
the opinion of The Appeal this
would be money we'll spent and mon
ey that will bear heavy rate of in
terest in the future. In this city the
word IF has been great factor in
fire matters and while the people
may think that they are lucky, bad
luck is liable to overtake them at any
moment and with no adequate fire
protection, they themselves will be
the losers.
Ii it is impossible for this city to
stand the expense of the necessary
equipment would it not be a good
idea for the property holders to con
tribute what they can to fund for
the purpose of getting the new
eauipment7 A few dollars donated
at this time may mean the saving Of

SPECIAL ELECTION MATTER
TO HAVE CONSIDERATION
City Trustees Will Meet Tonight
and Municipal Ownership Will
Be Considered

suit a new pledge was formulated
which called for a special election
and pledged the successful candi-
dates to vote with the decision OF
| the residents of this city.
At that meeting Mayor VanEtten
stated that at the next meeting OF
the Board OF City Trustees that he
would issue a call for special cleo
tion. and also showed a petition
which had been signed by number
of the heavy taxpayers OF this city
who approved of the matter in ques-
ton
For this reason ii is probable that
the entire matter will be taken up by
the City Fathers at their regular
meeting to night and the order made
giving the people 4 chance 10 decide
for themselves what action they de-
sire taken by tine representatives N
the State Legislature regarding wat
er and the municipal ownership
thereof
The question OF municipal owner
ship of public utilities is compl-
Gated one and one which the people
should seriously consider.
The Appeal advocated the mum-
cipal ownership OF water i'll this Sity
for many years but at the same tm\
believes that the subject should be
thoroughly presented to the people
and the various plans for carrying
it into effect discussed publically by
men conversant with the results OBJ
tained in other cities where the idea
mas had a thorough test.
Any suggestions that can be made
will probably be very acceptable 20
the Board of City Trustees and T.
the public in general. and the col
umns OF this paper will be open at
all times to a free discussion OF the
proposition.

FIRE EQUIPMENT BADLY
NEEDED IN CARSON CITY
City Trustees or the People Should
Take Immediate action to Pro-
tect Property from Loss


As the City Trustees will meet ir
regular session tonight it might be
we'll to call their attention to the fire
ightin conditions OF this city. A,
a early hour this morning a fire
alarm was sounded and at least one
property owner in this city barely
escaped losing his holdigs. Had
the fire OF this morning happened
three days ago there is no doubt but
that the homes OF Charles Way and
Frank Hill would have been com
pletely destroyed and good chance
that Henry Rosenbrock and George
Cowing would have suffered the
same fate
The volunteer fire departme mt in
this city is composed of men in all
walks of life, men whose only idea
in belonging to the company is for
the public good, to save property
from loss by fire and for the protec-
ton of all But what is lacking is
fire fighting apparatus and means of
getting it to the scene of the fire.
Last night the chemical engine nad
to be abandoned and in its stead a
hose cart was rushed to the fire and
as luck would have it saved the
property endangered
What is needed in this city is ain
auto chemical engine and hose cart.
The pre- sent chemical is sufficient If
there was u means OF gettig it to tne

GOldfield a
Divorce Center

Here is clipping from the Gold
field Tribune in which w. II. Schnit-
ger, the lawyer, is quoted as saying
that his clients are annoyed and
swindled in Reno and therefore he
intends to conduct the greater part
of his divorce business in the south
ern city:
That Goldheld is to replace Reno
as the divorce colony Of the coalstry
and that all of the cases winch have
heretofore gone to Reno will here
after be filed in Goldheld, is the an
nouncement OF w. II. Schnitzer
known throughout Nevada as the di
vorce lawyer,
Mr.. Schnitzer is we'll known here
having formerly engaged in practice
at this point until the time OF tn'
labor troubles, when he removed hi
headquarters to Reno.
He announced yesterday that h'
intends to open Offices here in the
near future and that Goldheld viii
be his headquarters. 1t is under
stood that ne now has large mum
Der of cases docketed here.
Asked why he did not continu
practice in Reno Mr.. Schnitzer said
Il do not intend to give up m.
| Reno Offices entirely, but | believ
| Goldfeld is destined to become tn
center of the Nevada divorce busi
ness. As matter of fact, the peo
pie of Reno, after proiiting enor
mously at the hands OF the divorc
colonists, have given them anything
but a square deal, and it is my III
tention to see tnat my clients are nc
annoyed or swindled during the pre-
gress of their cases"

Tonight the regular meeting OF
the Board of City Trustees will take
place in the Office Of the County
Clerk and it is expected that several
matters Of importance will be con
sidered by the Board.
One of the most important ques-
tons to be discussed will be that OF
calling a special election either this
or next month to determine whether
the people OF this city desire to bond

Alarm of Fire
at Early Hour

An alarm of fire was turned in
shortly after five o'clock this morn
ing owing to blaze in the woodshed
of Charles Way on Nevada Street.
The fire apparatus was soon on tne
scene and the blaze put out with
very little damage to property. The
FIRE probably was caused from ashes
setting fire to the barrel in which
they had been placed yesterday, it
not being known that there were
any live Goals when the stove was
cleaned out.

Later developments in the returns
of the recent election give Charles
L. Deadly, Democratic candidate for
Surveyor-General, lead over one
hundred votes Saturday the Re
publican headquarters stated tnat
Con Ahern had the lead by 9S votes
and it was believed for a time that
Deady had been beaten Since then,
however, several errors have been
discovered in the figures that have
been sent out and as the official re
turns are received it is almost an as
sured fact that the Carsonite will be
elected easily.

these are due not to any ingenious ap-

A VERY PLEASANT HOME.

All Because Of the Way tie Solved tho
Closet Space Problem.
must tell all my brothers how my
wife and have solved the problem
which so borhers those who dwell
where there is but little closet room.
there was not room for ell our things.
As to the closets. they were crammed
full, and even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. So | purchased
another dressing case.
then took all my clothes, which
had been crowding my wifes in her
dressing case, and arranged them in
my own. In the top ORA wer l put my
handkerchiefs, collars and ties and
all those other little articles of 6nery
which every man loves SO much. In
the second drawer | placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers, neatly folded,
and my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted, as it gave her her ewn dresser
all to herself and relieved the closet
somewhat.
But in day or so the new plan
proved to have few defects, so at my
wifes suggestion 1 emptied one of the
upper drawers in my dresser. putting
it's contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep
tacle for Il few Of her jabots, scarfs,
etc. The second day it was decided
that my shirts and trousers could &C.
cupy the same drawer, the lowest one,
so this was fixed. and into the second
drawer my wife moved few of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that l was still using
too much space, l permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, etc..
thus giving her both Of the upper
drawers and the next and still leav
ing me plenty of room in the one bot
tom drawer.
Since then. however, have found
that l do not require so much space
for my few things, so have taken them
out of the bottom drawer and packed
them into hat box, which I keep
under the bed. thereby giving my
wife all the drawers In my dressing
case. find the present arrangement
very satisfactory, as all I have to do
now is to empty the. hat box on the
bed when 1 want anything in it and
then. when have made my selection,
sweep the other articles back into
place. ~~-- -~'~' "A ~@1 4.

Superstitions That Irvine About tho

Mandrake Plant.
The little plant the mandrake has
wealth Of tradition centering round it
such as is seldom found in floral lore
Quite an insignificant little plant with
a spindle shaped root often divided
into two or three forks and rudely re-
sembling the human form. it is doubt
less from this latter fact that it has
derived its name. Langhorne in the
latter part Of the eighteenth century
tells us to
Mark how the rooted mandrake wears
His human feet. his human hands,
while it was once believed that a per-
son pulling up mandrake would in
stantly fall dead. This was said to
be because the mandrake had human
heart at its root and when pulled it
would scream in such fearsome man.

else induce madness. Shakespeare
alludes to this where be says:
And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of
the earth.
That living mortals. hearing them. run
mad.
And again in King Henry W.T."
where Suffolk. asked by Queen Mar
garet whether he has not spirit to
curse his enemies. replies:
Would curses kill. as doth the mandrake's
groan.

drake has been associated with en-
chantments and has ever been be-
lieved to be one of the most powerful
charms Of witches. Mr. Conway in
paper on mystic Trees and Flowers"
states that ''by popular superstitions
in some places it is said to be per-
petually watched over by Satan, and
if it be pulled up at certain holy times
and with certain invocations the evil
spirit will appear to do the bidding of

The Holland Primrose.

There is q plant in Holland known
as the evening primrose. which grows
to a height of five or six feet and bears
profusion Of large yellow flowers so
brilliant that they attract immediate
attention. even at a great distance,
but the chief popularity about the
plant is the fact that the flowers,
which open just before sunset, burst
into bloom so suddenly that they give
one the impression Of some magical
agency. A man who has seen this sud.
den blooming says it is just as if some
one had touched the land with wand
and thus covered it all at once with a
