CHEMISTS FIND
TRACES OF POISON
According to Statement of Representa-
tives Of the swope
Heirs.
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 29-Poison
has been found in the organs of the
late Col. Thomas H. Swope and his
nephew Chrisman, and upon this find
ing the heirs of the dead millionaire
demand an investigation by the state
to ascertain the cause of the death
last fall of these two men. This de-
finite statement was made today by
representatives of the Swope estate,
following receipt of the partial re-
port of chemists in Chicago. The
poison it is stated was found in the
livers and not in the stomach. The
exact conclusion reached so far by
the Chicago chemists is being closely
guarded. 1t is believed they are still
pursuing their investigations.

Prospects for further legislation for

keep the department busy for year
Senator Morris answered him, say
ing:
Il don't like to and do not accuse
Senator Redwine of having ulterior
motives, but it looks like that at one
session when he wants a million dol
lar penitentiary he is willing to vote
for the sale of school lands and now
that he has the penitentiary he is un-
willing to see other people get what
they want.
Redwine answered that somebody
had to get the penitentiary, and that
some lands had to be sold to pay for
building it, but that he thought NO

ture of the development of the awk-
ward and untutored immigrant lad in

The story of this pleasing little play

and natural heart interest--a stage
replica of just such scenes as are
enacted around many family hearth

some comedy, its touches of pathos
and its utter freedom from straining
for effect, the play offers a good ex-

soLDANI ON MEAT BOYCOTT.

Senator Soldani is quoted in the
Guthrie Leader with a sensible sug-
gestion or two anent the meat boy
colt. He says:
Every time see one of those ar
ticles about abstaining from meat and
relating how they the going to beat
down the price of food,I think of the
steers back on the ranch: of the sixty
cent corn have been feeding them,
and that's not all, either" said Sena-
tor Sylvester Soldani, who, with his
brother, is among the best known cat
tlemen in the great Usage cattle coun-
try, to Leader representative. More
than likely some of those members
of the meat abstinence clubs sell some
farmers family some at price thrice
what we paid for the same five years
ago.
"And the ridiculous part of the busi-
ness is that the people are plugging
for the very meat trust they are sup
posed to be assailing. The big pack
ers with their cold storage houses
loaded to the doors with choice cuts
of meat can well afford to see a meat
abstinence society formed. When the
surplus supply is gone and the peo-
pie go out to get meat, they will find
the small dealer went broke because
of thnir boycott, the farmer has no
cattle ready for the meat trust, own
ing all that is ready for the consumer
and all the cattle ready for the mar
ket-7tne average man having been
forced to sell at ridiculously low
price to meet his note at the bank
will ask and get what it pleases for
the meat. These wise boycotters will
have busted a regiment of small
meat dealers and caused few farmers
to put mortgage on their farms and
the meat trust will be found to own
the meat, the mortgages and about
anything else that peoples boycott
foolishness brought about.
"Boyootting is not very good way
to accomplish reform, at least that ap-
pears to be true to me. Suppose we
who have stock and have been feed
ing them the high priced grain and
purchasing high priced clothing. We
hieles and staying at high priced
hotels when we are away from home,
should also conclude to return to the
primitive and agree we would pur-
chase no more for one year?
Suppose we should declare that
we would stay out on the farms and
ranches and wear overalls; that the
women would get no hats; no dress
goods; that we would raise our own
foodstuffs and that we could even do
away with coffee and spices and that
the cattle we could not sell would
furnish milk and meat, etc?
isn't it likely the farmer would
get the best of the deal from the
standpoint of comfort? There ought
to be right way to get at the trusts.
Doctors of trust evils are numerous
during campaigns, but to boycott is a
new method for the average person.
In the hitherto that has been consid-
cred about the poorest thing an en-
lightened community could engage in.
"The rancher has no easy task
these times. The cattle industry is
no certain path to riches. 1t is only
the experienced and careful cattle
man who can figure down to the last
penny cost who can make profit
these days. and the talk of boycotts
when he has fed sixty cent corn and
paid s55 per head for cattle to feed
makes the 'shivers' creep about, let
me assure you"

WORKING FOR
NEW SCHEDULE

Since the Copper Belt railroad
has been in operation to Mason
Valley, much OF the passenger
traffic from Wellington and be-
yond goes via that route instead
OF coming this way and taking the
V. IL T. Ii is said the officials of
the latter road have detected the
shrinkage of passenger traffic that
has been gobbled by the rival road
in the southern district and have
already started adjustments which
they hope will recover the lost
business.
In order tn take the Minden
bound stage at Wellington, it is
necessary to be up and dressed at
1 a. m, the stage connecting with
the 1l:45 train at Minden. Then
comes a five hour wait at Carson
and the journey to Reno or the
coast is again started. The people
of the southern eritory have
kicked from tie very beginning At
this service.
Now comes a rival road putting
a schedule into effect whereby
passengers can leave Wellington
on a stage making connections at
Mason with late afternoon train
and reach Reno in time for sup
per, thus avoiding long stops and
a. IN. toilets.
A new mail schedule between
Wellington and Minden has been
asked for and as soon as it goes in
TO effect the stage will leave Well
ington at, orIabout the same time
the Mason stage departs, reaching
here at 3 y. IN. and making con-
nection with the V. and T. train
which will be held at Minden un-
til that hour.
This change, when put into
effect, will result in the early re-
sumption of the traffic over this
route, because of it being the
shortest way and by the proposed
schedule, the most adequate serv-
ice

nor later than four weeks from

IN doing his gymnastic and inside
work at the Waterloo hall, working
there Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday of each week. He can be
seen at four O'Clock on any # the
above days going through the many
forms of athletic stunts that are
required before a contestant is pre-
pared to undergo the long strain OF
physical endurance necessary in
contest between two evenly
matched men. Gene Phillips in
tends to be trained to the minute
and it is the general opinion
of those who have watched
him working out, that one Ed
wards will need show more steam
and some cleverness if he expects
to make a showing against the
local lad. AT least more than he
displayed at former occasions on
the mat.
Where the bout is to be held is
yet in the air. 1t is understood
that Waterloo promoters will make
a strong bid for the bout and it is
also certain that Gardnerville
fans will be on hand with a bid.
A Reno club is desirious also OF
securing the attraction. The place
will be decided on next week.

Patience ceases to be virtue
after certain point with even a
person AS even tempered as Gene
Phillips and he has now concluded
that the only way in which he
can maintain his dignity and
reputation both, is to put J. w.
Edwards two should .rs on the
mat in a wrestling contest.
To so back few years We find
Mr.. Philips one OF the most prom
ising athletes of the San Francisco
Olympic Club. He was victor in
may amatuer bouts and gained
the amatuer welter weight cham
pionship of the Pacific Coast.
Then he married and abandoned
his athletic aspirations. Almost
from that time Edwards has been
endeavoring to draw Gene into u
match. For one reason alone
Mr.. Phillips has avoided clash
with Edwards but since he has
been 30 persistent in his demands,
Gene will enter the professional
class, a thing that he avowed not
to do, and give Edwards chance
at him. He has signed articles of
agreement and they have
been forwarded to Reno to receive
the signature of Edwards who sent
his challenge to Phillips for the
17th time last week. The con-
test will be for the best two out
of three falls; strsngle hold barred
and pin fall alone counting. The
looser must be held to the mat for
1 seconds, the time to be counted
by the referee. The bout will be
held under the management of the

FRUIT CROP IS
TOTAL LOSS

1t would be hard to estimate the
damage and loss to orchard owners
in this Valley by the frost last
Wednesday night. From all parts
of the Valley comes discouraging
reports, and save in few rare
instances, the fruit crop was en-
tirely destroyed. At the Sarman
orchard the frost killed thousands
of boxes OF apples and pears
Theo. Hawkins was over from
Genoa and reports that the frost
took nearly everything in sight.
When one single frosty night
stands between bumper fruiI
crop and a complete failure as is
evidenced this year, it seems that
experiments with smudge pots as
are being used with such great
success in other semi-frost sections,
would result in saving much fruit
in orchards that are favorably
planted for such an experiment.

1t is claimed by the contractors
that structure of cement blocks
is no more expensive than q frame
building. Besides giving very
dignified appearance to home,
the concrete blocks keep out the
chill of winter and the heat OF

Cement building blocks will gain
the same popularity with home

have in other sections. An intro
