Judge Breen then took the stand
and stated that if he made such a
remark it was not in reference to

OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

Something out of the ordinary
is a remark that can properly be
made cf Howes London Shows Con
which will exhibit in
Tonopah September II.
The big circus has a reputation
for producing remarkable surprises
in its arena until the public has
learned that it can attend an eX-
hibition of the Great London Circus
expecting to see something new and
different.
There Is an unusual number of
features with this show this season.
1t is difficulty to pick the best. Some
will like the trained wild beasts
exhibition or horse wonders. Others
will prefer the Eddy Family, Mere.
dith Troupe, the Riding Wallets
the Glasgow Royal Horses, the Elite
Troupe, while some will spend mos
of the time laughing at the hos
of clowns, listening to the Julius
Winslow famous band, enjoying the
races, admiring the animals or pet
ting the beautiful Dublin Prize
Horses. No matter which way one
looks, he is sure to see something
out of the ordinary

At The NEVADA
LAST EVENING

The great rock-breaking and cata-
leptic test given by DR.. Flint at the
Nevada theater last night was not
only sensational, but very interest
ing to all those who were present.
The program opened by a short
lecture on hypnotism and mesmer-
ism, after which he called for vol
unteers from the audience as sub
jects, and then the great test work
began. A young man was mesmer-
lied, put to sleep and then placed
upon tive chairs, head resting on
one chair and feet on the other
chair. Then large rock weigh
ing several hundred pounds was
placed upon the body. A local
blacksmith, who volunteered to use
the sledge, broke the rock upon
the body after several powerful
blows.
Tonight the cataIepsy will be re-
peated, but the rock test will not
be given until Saturday night, when
a rock larger than any that has ever
been used heretofore in this part of
the country will be used in this
test. The rock to be used will be
on exhibition either in one of the
store windows or at the main cor
ner of the main street of the town.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Instead of
ordering the Federated Shopmen of
the Illinois Central to strike, the
representatives of the nine interna-
tional unions involved, last night
after an all day conference, decided
to send a reply to the letter in
which President Markham of that
railroad fatty refused to recognize
the officers of the federation
In this letter the union takes is
sue with Markham in his claim
that the unions failed to give thir-
ty days notice Of changes desired
in working conditions.
The communication, which was
mailed by special delivery at 10
o'clock last night, contained another
strike threat, and concluded as
follows:
Until equality is recognized JUS
tice cannot manifest itself, and
should your attitude be persisted
in, such trouble as may result will
not be the unions desire, but the
seeking of yourself and those whose
interests you represent. There are
too many people teaching the de
tails of conduct who do not even
understand its first principles
The conference of union men was
resumed today:
I'VE will not take hasty action,
said President Kramer, of the Me
chanics union, 'or radical actor
This is serious business. We in.

was discontinued over ten years ago, at the

From the standpoint Of good business

and signed q full confession. 1t was,
in Bohemian. The salient features
of the confession are as follows:
Herzan says he. borrowed his BROTH
er's revolver the day of the crime with
the intention Of going to the Fiman
home to secure, the money which, ne
knew was, kept in the house. He told
of entering the Fiman home after hav'
ing spent the afternoon away from HIS
own home, and Of demanding 1t from
MI. and Mrs. Fiman.
The aged couple gave him some
money, but he wanted more. The old
gentleman, he said, declared he, would

doing so, broke a window and Jumped
out. As he did SO, according; to Her.
