THE SLAUGHTER OF
THE INNOCENT

From 200, 900 to 100000 child
rem in the United States die every
year from preventable causes.
The chief statistician of the federal
census bureau is the authority for
that statement. Nearly a fifth are
infants under one year OF age, and
more than a fourth are children
under FIVE years of age. 1t is the
conclusion of an eminent medical
authority that the death Of AZ per
cent of the children may be pre-
vented and that 81 per cent, Of the
deaths of children between two
and eight years are also prevent
able. There is, therefore. a verit-
able slaughter of the innocents by
ignorance, inattention. neglect and
poverty. Society is not as well
organized as it should be when its
infants are thus condemned TO
death by the wholesale.

Joe" WILLIAMS

A note from Tonopah informs us
that j. T. Williams, better known
as Joe Williams, died at his home in
Hot Creek on the 2Sth of April.
That announcement will not mean
much to the ordinary reader, but
it is a great deal to every old Ne
vada nan wherever found, because
Joe grew up with Nevada. He has
lived there since 1862. He served
the state six years in the legislature;
he worked hard; he made a fortune;
his whole path was covered with
charities; he was the kindliest of
men, and his death is a great loss
to the state.
He long ago settled in the little
camp Of Hot Greek. Since then
mining camps have risen and fallen
all around him. the state has been
alternately transformed by great
discoveries and then lost in depres-
sion. but all the time he lived there
in that little camp, his heart full of
hope. his hands full of work, his
house and his heart always open;
and could every kind act of his life
m%aterialize into a little cube of
white marble the size of a brick,
there would be material enough on
hand to build a monument as high
as the Washington monument and
on all its heighth and breadth there
would not be- one stain. The news
Of his death comes as personal be-
reavement. May the All-Com-
passionate comfort the wife and
children that are eft.-Goodwin's

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

Mrs. George D. King, for a

Miss Hazel Haley, a popular school
teacher of Virginia City, attempted
suicide Thursday night at her home
in that city, by firing a bullet into
her head. Hope for recovery is
slight as it is believed the skull is

King, committed suicide a few
months ago, and she watched over
his body three weeks before the

FRISCO uKiER
SENDKG SETTLERS
TO COALDAE

A San Francisco lawyer. J. Mel
son Watt by name. has been busily
engaged during the last few
months in sending people. to Coal
dale under the impression that
good farming land could be secured
there for nothing. He would
charge a fee of $50 and send the
land seekers to the supposed fertile
section in huge lunches Watts
scheme has worked to perfection
and he had cleared up a nice bunch
of money. But now it appears
that his get-rich-quick idea is liable
to serve as a boomerang and 1T is
understood that steps are being
taken to prosecute him.
AS every one in this section of
the country knows, the land in the
vicinity of Coaldale, which is about
80 miles from here on the Tonopah
and Goldfeld road, is suitable only
for the cultivation of sagebrush,
and very little of that. 1t is true
that there is a well at the old stage
station. but the water from this
would not irrigate a section large
enough to provide a humming bird
with one days rations-
Practically the same scheme was
tried there six or V years ago
by a woman promoter, who offered
several acres of choice farming
land with each block of stock in a
coal mine. Her scheme was ex-
posed by the Bonanza and the lady
in question threatened to several
libel suits for having her plans
spoiled. However, she was salts
fed to keep out of prison and the
damage suits never materialized.-

BACK FROM JARBIDGE

Joe McCarter returned yesterday
from Jarbidge, where he has been
located since last February. He
says that it is a great big country
but he is not going back there any
more. 1t has been the most talked
about mining camp for the least
amount of development work done
that was ever known, if all reports
r considered and averaged up.
On account of this lack of work
Mr.. McCarter says it is impossible
to tell yet whether it is a mining
camp or not.
Parties are holding all the way
from one to forty claims. One
man has located % and says he
does not intend to do any holding
work. He can hold them for 80
days, and then relocate them.
This accounts for the lack of de-
velopment work.
Possibly in a few years after ex.
ploitation been has done the region
may come to the front as a mining
camp.

FACTS ABOUT THE COMET

1OuIOEEO" VIII DS lnS UlS Jay lOE
the comet, Among scientists there
is some difference of opinion as to
the effect it will have upon the
earth, but differences are m nor
Prof. Hall of the Naval observa-
tory would not be surprised if there
were a shower of metorites- 9th
ers expect no disturbances. Prof.
Naulty of New York takes issue
with Hall and contends the tail of
the comet is composed neither of gas
nor meteoric bodies and that such
a shower as Prof. Hail deems pos
sible, could not follow.
The tail of Halley's comet, to all
intents and purposes, is a celestial
searchlight, said Mr.. Naulty. THE
tail is nothing more than sunlight
condensed from radiant solar en-
ergy processed through the solar
system, precisely as lens focuses,
condensed transmits light"
He says the tail of the comet is
not composed of gas or Of minute
particles of matter or of metorites.
The entire solar system, Mr..
Naulty says, is filled with gases in
varying states of density. All these
gases, poisonous and non-poionous,
are present in the earth's atmos-
phere in dense form. The chang
ing spectrum of Halley's comet, &C
cording to Mr.. Naulty's theory is
due to the fact that as the comets
great tall freight sweeps
through the various parts of the
solar system, it lights up differing
layers of gases, conveying the i'm
preston the tail itself is gaseous.
Mr.. Naulty says the spectrum of
reflected sunlight is always present
in head and tail of the comet thus
proving that both parts of it are
made visible by sunlight alone.
The sweeping of this cometary
cone of solar force does cause. dis
turbance in the solar system" said
Mr.. Naulty. THE earth and all
the planets are affected not only
when they come within. the actual
cone as the earth will do on We'd

waves set in mass and its atmos-
phere to adjust themselves to this

prevalent earth tremors, storms
and other phenomenon.
"The climax will be no collision
of the earth and comet, nor will the
earth be enveloped in poisonous
gases. The effect of the passage
may be to cause great C ndensati n
of atmosphere vapros. so that auto

OCEAN MONSTERS IN BATTLE

JULIAN MUNSItRS IN BAllLE
Early on the morning of August
IA last, while engaged in building
new quarters for the lighthouse
keeper at Breaksea island, near
Rottnest Western Australia, the con-
tractor and his men noticed a bull
whale with a COW and calf passing
the island some distance off.
An hour or so later-about nine
o'clock to be exact-the men were
startled by an extraordinary noise,
apparently coming from the eastern
end of the island. a noise unlike
anything they had ever heard be-
fore. Dropping their tools and
starting toward the east, they be-
held such a sight as it falls to the
lot of few people TO witness. There,
not 500 yards from the shore, was
being waged a battle to the death
"a fight between the great COW
whale previously seen and a school
of thresher sharks.
The sharks, as though acting in
accordance with some preconcertd
plan, had completely surrounded
the two whales and, apparently
realizing that nothing was to be
feared from the calf, concentrated
all their efforts upon the COW.
Again and again they charged upon
her, their jaws swapping, tearing
at the mighty sides until the sea
was red with blood. Meanwhile
the -icow lashed her tail furiously,
hurting up sheets Of Redeemed water
and occasionally crashing down
with terrific force upon one of her
voracious opponents.
Presently the spell bound
spectators realized two facts-frs,t
that the calf had disappeared in
the melee, and secondly that the
tortured whale was undoubtedly
becoming weaker. 1t was obvious
that the unequal struggle could have
only one ending. Still, however,
she fought on doggedly, winning
admiration and sympathy by her
exhibition of hopeless courage.
Altering her tactics, by a supreme
effort she hurled her whole great
bulk clear of the water for a moment
and the fascinated on lockers beheld
the sharks hanging from various
parts of her cleaning body by their
serrated teeth. Then down she
went again with a crash like thun-
der and for an instant whale and
sharks were buried amid masses of
foam, heavily colored with the
poor mammals life blood. Rising
again, she assayed another change
of plan, making for the rocks and
desperately striving to rub off the
clinging sharks against their edges.
But the threshers were equal to the
occasion; while those on the outside
maintained their grip, the others
dived under their enemy and
charged her anew, tearing at the
whale'side imam ecstacy of ferocity
that was blood curdling to witness.
More and more feeble grew the
whales struggles and at last-to
the heart felt relief Of the spect-
ators, for her death fight had been
terrible to behold-the great body
turned over and sank beneath the
red-tintcd water. The unequal
battle was over.
