+: THE GET-HAPPY SEASON

The get-happy season is upon US!
because 10. here cometh the
advance agen: Of the laughter
ideal walking through the streets
Of our city and announcing the
advent of the circus.
OF course, it is unnecessary to
state that it is the Sells-Floto
Circus because year after year we
have become used to seeing this
popular attraction coming to visit
US almost simultaneously with the
arrival of springtime.
This year they promise more
than ever before and it is only fair
to say that so far at least they
never have made their patrons
the victims of misplaced con-
fideence.
The policy inaugurated by them
last year Of cutting the price in
half still prevails and for 25 cents
it is possible to see the great show
in its entirety. 1t is the first time
in the hi-tory Of mighty entertain
ments that such values have been
offered to the amusement loving
public. The Sells Floto people
state that they m; de money at the
cut price last year and that tn ey
will adhere to the innovation. This
news will be gratefully received
by those who have always looked
upon their annual circus outing
as an institution.
The Sells-Flotp Circus will arrive
here on goth day of May. The
parade will be given at 10 o'clock
en- the morning Of the performance.
Twenty cars have been added to
the show since it was here this
time last year which of course
means that much more will Re
given for the money than eyre
before. The tent will he capable of
holding 10000 people so each oGc

being seated comfortably.
Many new and original acts have
been add 20 the regular ones,
which are part and parcel of a
circus. A complete program will
be published in these columns at a
later date.

DR.. HAGAR's CONDITION

A letter as received in Eureka
this week from the Hagar ranch in
ElkO county, which stated that DR..
Henry Hagar who recently met
with an accident OF the ranch, an
account Of which was published in
the Sentinel last week, WIS not
taken to Elko for surgical treat
ment. as the injuries he re ceived
are not as serious rs at first
thought. The letter also gives q
few additional particulars regard
ing the accident which were not
stated In the first pu blished &C.
count. 1t appears the Doctor had
a narrow escape from instant
death, as his foot caught in the
stirrup and he was thrown from
the horse and dragged about 80
feet before he got loose. His
shoulder blade WIS not fractured,
but dislocated, and his arm is black
and blue. Previous to meeting
with the accident he had been in
poor health for some time. At
the time when the letter was
written It had not been definitely
determined upon whether he would
be taken to Elko for treatment or
not. Eureka Sentinel.

THE 800 YARD LAW

Although the grand jury, COM
posed of representative citizens Of
the county, recommended the
enforch ment of the 800 yard law
In all the towns of the county. we
do no believe the movement is a
wise ore for Elko. All the resorts
at which the 800 yard law is aimed
were compelled to move without
the 400 yard limit about three
years ago. They novel without
the limit at that time in compliance
with the law. Some of them
moved at sacrifice. But not
withstanding their loSs, they moved
to section Of the town that at
that time was unoccupied. Some
of them invested money in houses
and and under the assurance of the
law as it then was that they would
b. protected in the enjoyment of
their property.
While we have no sympathy with
these people. we believe il q great
injustice to compel them to move
again and sacrifice their property.
They are human beings and their
rights are az sacred as the rights
Of other people more fortunately
situated.
They are now in q locality,
away from the residence portion
of the town and should be allowed
to remain there. II driven from
their present location. they may
scatter through the town and
flaunt their vice IN the faces Of
women and children who are not
nov brought in contact with them.
While It Is the duty of all public
off cerS to do their sworn duty, yet
there are some laws that are
honored more in the breach than
in their enforcement. We believe
the 800 yard law as II applies to
conditions in this town is such
Law.
The conditions In the other
towns Of the county may call for
an enforcement of The law, hut such
Is not the case in Elko.

The WONDERFUL WIRELESS

After July no passenger steamer
carrying fifty or more passengers
to sail as far AZ two hundred miles.
will be permitted to leave port un-
less equipped with wireless tele-
graph apparatus. This is a law of
congress. Most Of the large
steamers on the sea and lakes are
already supplied. Within the past
year the wireless telegraph has
save1 nearly SIP, 100000 and thous-
ands of lives that were In jeopardy.
1t has been one of the essentials
OF passenger steamers and the con.
nected story of what the wireless
has been to disabled ships in the
past two years, would make more
fascinating readirg than a fairy
tale. And men are gaining more
and more control over it every
year. and the messages are being
sent and received over larger ar d
longer distances. And still there
is an instinct which is grow inc
stronger and stronger in the souls
OF men that wireless telegraphy is
as yet, rot half developed. 1t may
be feeling that grows out of
hope only, but it is a very sweet
one. 1t may come of the goinr
belief that this world anG the
next are not so"very far apart. and
that as electricity is the very life
OF the world and at the same time
the perfect conductor of the
messages that the wireless filings
into space; who knows that il will
not sometime send a message that
will strike on that other shore and
that an answer may come back
over the soundless waste snd be
recorded in some station here?
1t has voice which the roar OF
angered oceans cannot still: il has
a substance which the hurricane
cannot beat back; it has wings
which defy storm and cold and
heat, and which brings message S
tied to those wings: why should it
not conquer space also? If we but
knew the characters of the alphabet
used on the other side. who knows
but we should be getting these
messages now? "A great and
strong wind rent the mountains
and broke in pieces the rocks and
at ter the wind an earthquake and
after the earthquake fire." hut the
Lord was in neither, but "af ter
the fire still, small voice."
In our modern world the wireless
defies the wind, the ear tnquake
and the fire, hut when shall we hear
its still, small voice telling us of
what has been, and what is to be-?
Nothing is as wonderful as what
the wireless has already revealed
and it is but ten years since it's
manifestation began to be recorded.
What do the years hold in reserve
for men through that source when
human ears become adjusted to
hear human brains interpret it's
"stiil small, voice."
