OFFICIAL PAPER OF ELKO co.
ALL HAIL TO THE HOOKWORM

Dr.. Herbert Gum. special in
spector for the California State
Board of Health, according to his
official card, declares the miners Of
Nevada are afflicted with the hook
worm to degree that renders them
subject to governmental control.
This is too bad. The average
miner will think tits shocking. The
outside world will regard it Gs the
illumination of biased brain that
is incapable of taking into con-
sideration the difficulties and
obstacles that have been surmounted
in this part of the world.
DR.. Gum states with a gooC
deal of explicitly that from fifty to
eighty per cent Of the miners of Ne
vada and California are suffering
from the disease.
Thank God they are! If it were
different it would be hard to &C.
count for the hardihood of the
argonauts who came into the
southern country and rescued il
from the Pah Utes, Washoes,
centipedes and tarantulas, Begin
ing with nothing they developed E.
kingdom that has become famous
through the world as the most
produtive gold district known t.
history.
This testimonial to the hookworn
may conflict with the reports OF
DR., Wiley's Pure Food department
but it is a fact nevertheless anG
one that cannot be combatted that.
had it not bcen for the men who
opened Southern Nevada, there
would not be a state worthy of the
name on the map.today. If this is to
be ascribed to the hookworm,
the forerunner of sleeping sickness,
then Governor Oddie should
memorialize South Carolina and
Eatern Africa to send in all the
germs they can capture.
In his report just published DR..
Herbert Gum declares that he
finds the disease more prevalent
in Jackson, Suffer Greek and
Amador county, California, and in
Virginia City, Nevada, than in all
other places. While the learned
theorist declares that he has not
found any trace of the disease IN
Southern Nevada, for the
ostensible reason that he did not
have time to make thorough in
vestigation, he states that he las
found it injecting all camps Of
the Pacific coast and from mis-
reports, it is presumed, he includes
all Nevada camps besides Virginia

Resolutions Of Respect.

At the last meeting of the Quarterly
Conference OF the M. E. Church South
at Union City, the following resolu-
tions were introduced and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, the Rev. w. G. Sellars is
now closing his fourth year as pastor OF
the M. E. Church South, at Union City,
Tennessee, and
Whereas, these years OF his labors
among us have been marked with great
success in all that the term implies, and
now that he is about to leave us for new
fields of activity, in order to express our
appreciation of his life and labors among
us, and az token of the high esteem
in which he and his estimable wife are
held by the members of this congrega-
ton and by this entire community,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Quarterly Conference of this church that
we view the termination of the pastorate
OF our church Of this Cody man with
sincere regret, and while we in no sense
question the wisdom of the laws of our
church which make his removal i'm
perative, it would be the delight Of this
congregation if it were possible for Bro.
Sellars to continue his ministrations of
love, mercy, truth and justice among
us.
Resolved further, That our prayers
and most solicitous considerations and
regards will follow Brother and Sister
Sellars to whatever field they may be
assigned, and we heartily commend
Brother Sellars as faithful and devout
servant OF God, doing the Masters work
earnestly and effectively, though in an
and unassuming way.
Be it further resolved, That we APP
prove and commend the splendid work
Of our Presiding Elder, Bro. w. A.
for the year that has past,
which has been most satisfactory to the
entire District, and we earnestly request
that he be returned to the work for the
ensuing Conference year.

ACard Of Thanks.

Mr.. Chas Denham furnished Meyer
Bros. coffee. Owl brand, for the din.
ner served to the Confederate veterans
on the day OF the unwilling of the mon.
ment. For the past ten years Mr.. Den
ham has never failed to furnish this de-
lightful beverage to the chatper when
ever needed. More than that, he does
it in such CHEEKY, genial manner that
he conveys the idea that we have con-
ferred favor in accepting one.
We wish to thank Mr.. Denham thus
publicly for his unfailing helpfulness
and incidentally for being the means Of
introducing the famous Meyer Bros. oof-
fees into many Union City homes.

Hats and Caps Galore for Winter

brim 21s inches wide. 1t Is to DO
had in all shades Of pearl, nutria or
brown, with trimmings to match.
This hat may not be worn by all. but
is extremely becoming to certain types
OF men.
One Of the newest hats Is known as
the rough scratchup," which looks
as though ii might be made Of long
haired rats hide. It's crown Ia hve
inches high; the brim is stitched, with
raw edge, and may be turned up or
down according to the wearer's pleas
ure. The .scratch-up" is made up ia
champagne colors, steel gray and dark
| mixtures, and is likely to become very
popular among the younger set.

trade. have so many caps been sold

for fall and winter includes many new
styles. As rule. they are Of uni

stones and amethysts are all popular
and not very expensive. Stickpins for
the necktie may be selected from q
million designs, at all prices. The
same is true of the watchfob-but 1t
must be pendant from a black silk

A plain, unadorned cane. with bent
handle, will be carried this fall, but
at the same time the buyer can indulge
his individual fancy for decoration in
silver or gold. Malacca, pimento and
snakewood are among the more expen-
sive sticks, while bamboo and olive
wood are inexpensive and entirely
proper. The latest novelty in canes
is one with an electric light, which
enables the late home-comer to find

OR this splendid time OF
year, the hatmakers have
provided for the American
man the greatest variety OF
headgear ever shown within
the memory Of the present generation.
New styles are prominently dis
played among the hat-stores. and the
man who has pretensions Of being
we'll dressed must let his wife give
his last seasons hat to the janitor or
the Salvation Army. and provide him
SELF with new one.
The unbecoming derby with high
crown and fiat brim that has been IN
evidence for the last two seasons has
been thrown into the discard by the
designers for this fall and winter. In
its place they have given the public a
nice, good-looking hat, with medium
low crown-about inches deep--with
a brim from 21s to 2la inches wide
and round curl at the edge. This
makes very attractive hat, one that
is suitable for all ages; it is in strik-
ing and pleasing contrast to the 9TH

who can AFFORD to grat1fy expensive
tastes.
A swell shirting. which will be made
up for the fall and winter in both
negligee and pleated, is the Russian
cord. This is found mostly in laven-
der, blue and tan, and will undoubt-
eddy be extremely popular among the
high-class trade. Piqse and mercer
ICED detachable collars are on sale, but
haberdashers do not predict any extern
sive demand for them.
Neckwear is shown in an astonish-
ing variety of weaves and patterns,
both in four-in-hands and bat wing
ties. The latter are in great favor
for early fall, and may be had in
ACCORDION weaves, solid colors, stripes,
diagonals and polka dots"
The latter pattern has come into
style again. and will be worn extern
sively during the coming season, espe-
ciaIly in four-in-hands So far, the
dots are confined to white against dark
blue or some other solid color; they
vary in size from a quarter to half
an inch in diameter.
The newest thing in neckwear, de-
signed especially for the fall trade, is
known as the handkerchief scarf. This
Is fGr-in-hand, Of generous size !;
most Of them are exceedingly gaudy,
carrying brilliant combinations Of col
ors in what is designated as Persian
designs. 1T is astonishing" said a
prominent haberdasher, ito see how
mems tastes change; this is no longer

men are wearing today the brightest
combinations Of color imaginable-men
who a short while ago would not have
thought of wearing anything bit black,
white, gray, or the soberest combina-
TONS"
But the preference for the quieter
combinations still exerts an influence,
and for the fall. besides the brilliant
Persian designs in rumchundas and fou-
lards. are many plain colors and COM
binations with neat, attractive effects
in stripes and diagonals. In fact, I
have been informed that fully 60 per
cent OF the neckties sold Of late have
been in solid colors or in SELF stripes
that is, stripes Of the same color,
but different shade, as the body Of
the tie.
In the more exclusive trade-exclu-
sive, in this connection, usually means
nothing more than expensive-some
houses show striking novelty in a
four-in-hand of bright scarlet, made
Of Irish muslin, which sells for $3.50.
Melted neckwear is practically dc trop.
A new design, created especially for
autumn, is Of alternating stripes of
gray and green. each stripe being q
inch wide, and composed Of countless
smaller stripes in the weave. This is
a decided novelty, and extremely at
tractive to the eye.
Fancy waistcoats are to be had prac-
tically without restriction as to style
or pattern. Perhaps the most popu-
lar, and certainly one of the incest in
appearance, is made of silk or velvet,
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1911-09-20

with perpendicular stripes, less than
quarter of an inch wide. of black
and silver gray. For autumn wear are
some. of white vyelleS flannel, with mar
row stripes Of blue or black. The Tux
edo and dress vest is Of white French
pique; with the dinner coat simple
effects in gray and in black and white
may be worn.
In underwear, union suits vie with
two-piece suits in about equal ratio !;
in the former, the suit with half arms
and ankie-length drawers, which costs
from $3.50 up, seems to be in great
favor. These come in crepe, soisette
and heavier fabrics.
Hardly any socks are to be seen
except silk and silk-and-isle. It is
actually true that real silk socks have
been sold for % cents a pair: the
average price for the fall trade is 35
cents, or three pairs for dollar. Cot
ton and wooden socks are shown only
when called for. They are all in solid
colors, no stripes or other combinations
being on view.
Jewelry for mems wear, for formal
dress or otherwise, is measured only
by the contents Of the buyers purse.
Almost everything is matched nova
days-comes in "sets," including shirt
studs, vest buttons, cuff links, and,
when the studs are not worn, stickpin
as well. These sets may be bought
extensively or otherwise. The latest
offering for fall has tiny bit of plati-
