Su,Qf the Flu!

In the current number q
Science. DR.. L. o. Howard OF
the Department Of Agriculture
discusses the work Of some re-
cent English experiments with
the house fly, showing that the
house fly travels in a radius OF
three-Quarters of a mile. The
article says that this Is among
the first conclusive experiments
showing the distance flies
travel. Marked flies were re-
leased and some were caught
forty-eight hours afterward at
an extreme distance Of three
quarters Of a mile from where
they were released. The writer
says that this is important in
formation as establishing the
distance around a given point
that needs to be cleared II fly
free zone is to be created. The
paper deals with the subject Of
Infection. showing that the
house fly Is capable of distrib-
uting infection UP to ten days
from the time he was last In
fected. while the blow fly is
dangerous in the same way for
six weeks.
The Department Of Agricul-
ture has just completed some
new recent fly experiments. 1t
has found that as a bait for fly
traps beer is unexcelled. The
department has been expert
menting with fly traps and
searching for the best bait. A
large number Of things we're
tried and bread soaked in milk
was considered very good. But
ON substituting beer for milk 1t
was found that the flies were
attracted 100 to better.

MUCH INTEREST
MANIFESTED IN
BASEBALL HERE

Much interest is being taken in
Tonopah these days with the ball
fans and many is the fanning-bees
held in various resort of the town.
The race in both the major leagues
is at present at fever heat. Phil
adelphia still leads Detroit in the
American league by a good margin,
while in the National league the
Cubs had to give way to the on
coming Giants and now that team
is cavorting on the top rung of
Thomas Lynch's ladder in the old
league New York is just one full
game ahead of Chicago, and hard
on Chicago's heels is Pittsburg six
points behind, making but eleven
points between the three contend

1t is several years since three teams
ran so close in the old league al
this end of the season With Sc
slight a margin separating the three
teams now, it is a guess as to which
club will win in 1911. Chicago
ends its last series with New York
in the East this week, then plays
Brooklyn for series of three
games. New York continues al
her home grounds thes remainder
of the week and plays that terri

PAT DONOVAN
ACQUITTED OF
BURGLARY
OLD MAN GIVEN LIBERTY AFTER
THREE MONTHS WAITING
FOR TRIAL.

Pat Donovan of Rhyolite was ac-
quilted last night of the charge
of burglary by jury of twelve
men after they had been out about
two hours. The taking of evidence
in the case commenced yesterday
morning, and T. A. Fleming, of the
firm of Cook and Fleming, the store
alleged to have been robbed, was
the main witness, but his testimony
was not very strong or convincing,
Fleming claimed that he recognized
the defendant in the store the night
of the robbery; that he saw him
through two glass doors, and about
60 feet back had seen him by the
rays of light in another room.
Donovan created quite "a bit OF
sympathy for himself by his de.
jected appearance. An old man
badly stopped and very nervous, he
never took his eyes off the wit
nesses, and watched the entire pro
ceedings with intense interest, anC
before the trial was over it was
evident that no one was very anx
ious to send the old man to the
penitentiary. Donovan has awaited
trial in the county Jail for til,
months.
This morning the case of Milo
Basich was called in the court anl
continued until the 31st. The Statt
of Nevada VS., George Mcintyre wa
then called. The indictment Charge
embezzlement of funds from tn,
Eagles lodge at Manhattan. Th
morning session was taken up il
selecting a jury. George Thatche
is attorney for the defendant.

GERMAN CRUISER in

TORPEDO PRACTICE IN BUZ-
ZARD's BAY is ACCORDING TO
NAVAL REGULATIONS.

NEW BEDFORD, Conn, Aug.
24-The German cruiser Bremen
arrived at Buzard's Bay where she
will conduct target practice. There
is considerable speculation as to
the right of a foreign warship to
engage in military operations in the
water Of the United States
The plan of the Bremen to con-
duct torpedo exercises in Buzzards s
Bay is said by officials of the navy
department not to be an unusual
procedure on the part of a foreign
warship. If the practice is to be
within the three-mile limit, permis.
sion will undoubtedly be, has been
or will be asked of the United
States.

FALLON, New, Aug. 24.-There
promises to be an interesting Sc
quel to the running of a Chinaman
out of Terrill, the new mining
camp, thirty miles from Fallon.
The Chink was escorted to the
camp limits and forced to hit the
trail to Fallon, where he told his
story of the affair. He had been
employed as cook in a boarding
house and the mine-owners held a
meeting upon his arrival and de-
cided that hitherto neither Chinaman
nor Japanese could live in that
camp.
Similar action was taken in all
the southern camps with the ex-
ception of Tonopah, and even there
there was a riot over the outgoing
of the Cinnamon.
1t is understood that test will
be made of this case and that the
Chinaman will endeavor to return
