The BABY RAZOR

A man with a reputation for
originality was accustomed to shaw
ing himself. He used different
razor each day in the week, and
named them his Monday razor, his
Tuesday razor and So on. Ulti-
mataly he married and when the
babies began to arrive in numbers
he changed the names of his razors
to Helen, Susan, Tommie and so on
down the list. Finally a little one
came and he had no razor left. In
his perplexity he had a happy
thought. He decided to buy a
finishing razor to use only on state
occasions and he would that for the
baby.
He bought the razor, but they
had not named the new baby, and
he simply called it his Baby razor.
One day he wanted it and sent one
of his children down stairs after it,
saying, "Tommie, get papa his
Baby razor" Tommie rushed down
stairs and cried: "Oh mamma,
papa wants YOU

The CIRCUS

The circus has come and gone
and with it a bunch of Elko money.
1t was late in arriving yesterday
morning and the performance in
the afternoon was undoubtedly cut
a good deal on account of it's late
arrival. If it was not the show is
not what it is claimed to be one of
the best on the road.
There was large crowd present
in the afternoon and the greater
part of it went away disappointed.
Some of the trapeze and hor-
rizontal performers were excellent
but the rest of the show did not
appeal very strongly to this scribe.

SRERIFF OWENS IN TROUBLE

: A. Tonopah dispatch of May
31st to the Carson News says:
A suit was started in this city
today by the County of Nye against
Sheriff Jack Owens who has been
missing from this city for the last
month. The suit is to recover the
sum of twenty-nine hundred dollars
which was lost by the failure of
the Nye & Ormsby County Bank.
The whereabouts of Sheriff Owens
is unknown at this time. The last
he was heard Of was at Portland
Oregon this on the11th of May.
The grand jury is now exporting
his books but at the present time
it is too early to determine the
irregularities although it is believed
that he is short about nine thousand
dollars of the county and state
funds.

The RELIGIOUS
DENOMINATIONS

! 936, AS communicates or members
in all the religious denominations
in continental United States was
reported for 1906, according to the
U. S. census of regilious bodies for
the same year, as detailed in part
of the census of religious bureaus
special report on the subject, now
in press.
Of this grand total the various
Protestant bodies reported 2O,287, =
TAP and the Roman Catholic church
IL, 679, 142.
For purposes of comparison the
census authorities divided the prin-
cipal cities into four classes, those
having in!190 population of .3OO,-
600 and over, constituting the first
class; those of from 100000 to
100000 forming the second class,
those of from $4,000 to 100000
making the third; and those from
rs, 900 to 5000 forming the fourth
class.
Of the Protestant aggregate
there were 1,47S,145 or 7.3 per
cent in the first class cities; At
per cent in the second; and IA per
cent in the third and fourth classes
combined. while 80.6 per cent were
outside the principal cities.
Of the Roman Catholic church's
total membership there were $685.
453 or 27.9 per cent in first class
cities; 1861, 1872 or lib per cent
in the second 1904 or Is per
cent in the third and fourth classes
combined; with 5,771, 613 or 47.8
per cent outside the principal cities.
1t is seen, therefore, that the
number of the Roman Catholic
church reported in the cities of the
first class was considerably more
than double the number reported by
all the Protestant bodies, while
outside the principal cities the
number reported by the Catholics
was only a little over one-third of
the number credited to the Protest
ants. 1t is pointed out in the report
that the strength of the Protestant
bodies, as compared with the Ro-
man Catholic church, is greatly
understated.
Only two of the Protestant bodies
reported a majority of their men,
bership in the principal cities, i. e.,
the Church of Christ, Scientists, 1875
per cent, and the Protestant
Episcopal Church 51.2 per cent;
while of the membership of the
Jewish congregations, 1877 per cent
are in the principal cities, and of
the Eastern Orthodox churches TOT
per cent.
Of the total number of COM
municants or members reported for
the principal cities by all denomi-
nations, 6,307,529 or 60 per cent
belonged to the Roman Catholic
church, and 1886, BAL, or 37.4, to
Protestant bodies.
Comparison with the report for
1890 shows that in general there
has been an increase in the pro-
portion of communicates or men,
bers in the principal cities as COM
pared with those outside Of these
cities. In 1906 the percentage of
the total number of communicates
in these cities for all denominations
was 31.9 as compared with 25.7 in
