DIVORCE LAW FIGHT.
Sam Belford Will Start the Ball
Rolling.

A cutting to the very root of the di-
vorce law as it exists at present in this
state and an excision of many of the
evils which he sees in its present opera
ton, is advocated by the HoE. S. w.
Belford, the we'll known attorney of Ely,
Democratic spell-binder and member OF
the state banking board. Mr.. Belford
declared last night, i'll an interview with
the Reno Journal, that he would not
only draw the proposed act, if necessary,
but would make an especial pilgrimage
to Carson when the legislature is i'll ses-
sion there to urge the adoption of the
most radical amendment to the divorce
law ever proposed in this state.
Beginning with the keynote that he
believed there should be some method
with which mismated couples and harm
full marriage relations might be given re-
lief, Mr. Belford stated emphatically
that he believed that such legislation,
finding a parallel in all states of the un-
ion should be enacted for the purpose
of washing the dirty matrimonial linen
Of the country"
81 believe" said Mr. Belford, that
the conservative people of the entire
state and even of Reno, where the evil
has been most noticeable, will agree
with me that hardly anything has con-
trived to bring the state into so great
disrepute as the notorious looseness of
the divorce laws. People everywhere
regard it as a reflection on the name of
the state and they feel fully competent
to get along in prosperity without il"
In reply to question as to the nature
of the remedy to be proposed, Mr.. Bel
ford outlined the following points:
First, the requirement of bona fide
residence, with statutory definition of
that indicated by the demand that no
complaint be received until the party
has resided in the state for at least one
year.
Second, the provision that no abso-
lutte decree be granted, but that an in
terlocutory decree be handed down with
the right on the part of either party to
reopen the case within six months for a
rehearing on showing of fraud or upon

1t Cost Him $40.

Albert J. Bovard swore out complaint
in the city court against Louis Marseille
and man named Dominick, sheep
herders, who while in an intoxicated
condition. on Tuesday evening near the
Paquint place, had pushed himself and
wife off sidewalk. 1t appeared that
Marseille had drawn knife, but he
professed penitence and plead guilty and
number of persons vouched for his
general good character. Albert Bovard,
himself, asked mercy of the court for
Marseille, and he was fined $40. Chief
of Police Ambrose had not found Domi-
nick when Marseille pleaded.

proof of the absence of bona fde resi-
dence."
Mr.. Belford stated that he believed he
would not advocate the changing of the
provision enumerating the grounds OF
divorce, and he also discussed the pro-
posed remedy wherein the state is made
a party in interest in the suit for divorce
with the duty imposed on the district at
torney to appear for the state in all de-
fault cases end question the complaining
witnesses.
"This provision does not work well i'll

THE EMPIRE NEVADA M. & S. co.
HAS A fine SHOWING ON GROUND

Quite bit of quiet work is going on
at a mining property near town which
bids fair some day to make quite a stir.
1t is part of the estate of the Empire
Nevada Mining and Smelling Company.
The company owns a large number of
claims, but are now conhning the work
to the Red Star claim of the Copper Flat
group, about one-half mile west of the
Yerington depot.
There are twelve claims in the Copper
Flat group and surface prospecting
would indicate that the whole section
covered by these claims contains ore
that will go better than per cent cop
per. We do not mean that all the rock
OH the twelve claims will go'3 per cent
in copper-neither do we mean that
there are small ledges on the twelve
claims that carry those values. The
truth lies between the two.
The company has done considerable
prospecting with core and churn drills
and has made number of tests to deter
mine the best method OF treatment.

SOME HANDSOME CALENDARS
Yerinston Business Men Spread
Themselves.

1t is doubtful if there is another
community where such big percentage
of its business men advertise by means
of calendars as Yerington. Not only
the mercantile houses, but the saloons
and blacksmith shops gave calendars to
their customers this year.
And some of them are mighty hand
some and expensive, particularly
those issued by Judson Smith and the
Lyon County Bank
Mr.. Smith gave out a calendar on
which is picture. entitled Songs OF

breaches ON MONEY.
Rev. Charles Wood Talks on Use
and Misuse.

Rev. Charles Wood. in a sermon last
night at the Church OF the Covenant, told
about money and Its influences on men.
He did not deal in personalities, and he
avoided allusion to the idle rich" His
arraignment Of the wealthy class was
mild, and the object Of his sermon, he
said, was to show how money may be
used for good as we'll as for evil pur-
poses.
Mr.. Wood based his sH-mon on the sub
iect "The Christian use OF treasure" BY
doing those things which make others
love and bless US. he said. we can trans
form wealth into values that we can
carry through the grave
In the thirty years between 1860 and
1890, said Mr.. Wood "the wealth of
the United States increased $49,0 ,000, O00
individuals increased their wealth in a
like measure. and to-day there are prob
ably more millionaires IN this country
than in all the rest of the world.
Hotel proprietors and shopkeepers
have learned the wealth of the people of
this nation. and they charge accordingly.
The dollar bill buys less in America to-
day than in any country in any previous
era OF the worlds history.
