Are Fully Submitted

The much-discussed plans for the new
Normal School, No. /, for which Con-
gress made an appropriation OF 100000
Immediately available, last July, were
submitted to the Board of Education
today.
Since that date an additional $4,000
has been appropriated, making total
of $4,000 available.
The plans submitted are only prelim-
mary. 1t was an alleged delay in max
ing these plans for which officials of
the Board of Education recently aimed
shaft at the municipal architect.
The new structure is to be two
story building with thirty classrooms,
an assembly hall, seating 400, offices
for the principal and her assistants, a
study hall, and a library.
There will be rooms for a model
school, where the teachers will have
pupils under their charge, and a large
part of their course will be practical
work in teaching under the observa-
ton OF the normal instructors.
The new building is to be erected at
Harvard street near Eleventh north
west. 1t will face north. The frontage
will be 300 feet. The rooms will all be
lighted from two sides.
The plans will go to the building
committee of the Board of Education.
After the suggestions of changes by the
superintendent and the board they will
be sent back to the municipal architects
office.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-During the
morning hours the market gave
replica of the intense dullness of the
greater part of yesterdays session, but
where there were slight recessions on
Tuesday, before the final rally, today's
efforts on the part of the bears resulted
in substantial reactions. No one seemed
to know just why the display of weak
ness; why the financial interests failed
to rally to the support of their favorites,
whether they have decided to encourage
a bear movement in the hope of secur-
ing a short interest worth while, before
starting another movement for dis
tributing stock on the high points, or
what The gossip was of favorable
character, and where references were
made to probable declines they were
generally coupled with advice to buy
on the breaks. Traders are constantly
being urged not to refuse fair profits,
and to put stop order protection on
commissions. Many stop orders were
caught on the weakness that developer
in the opening hour, but did not reacn

To Find Husband

Fearing her husband, Charles J. A.
Bentley, has met with foul play or
that he is suffering from aphasia,
Mrs. Bentley, of Landover. Md. to-
day asked Inspector Boardman, of the
detective bureau. to aid her in a
search she has been conducting for
more than four months.
Bentley left his home. which is on
the Pennsylvania railroad, about Sep
tember 8, last. with $500 in cash in
his pocketbook. The evening before,
he told his wife he was going to take
up q business venture that had been
suggested to him and that he would
need that sum. Mrs. Bentley said she
drew it from their small store of saw
ings and gave it to her husband.
Since the morning of September 8,
says Mrs Bentley. she has neither
seen nor heard anything of her hus-
band. She fears some one learned her
husband had the money and attacked
and robbed him.

SLEUTHS ABOUT
The BANKS

Cashier Harris Of the Nevada
National bank appeared before the
county commissioners yesterday
noon, in behalf of both banks of the
city, and asked that a special off
Ger be put on duty in the neigh
borhood of the two banks on pay
day and for two days following
each month.
Mr.. Harris pointed out that dur
ing these days some quarter of a
million dollars was current in the
neighborhood, and as some pretty
tough customers were in town it was
felt more protection should be af-
forded.
Sheriff Malley agreed to furnish
a man from his Office for the task
without any expense to the county
Chief of Police Smith offered tC
supply another, and now the neigh.
borhood is patroled by two Officers
daily until banking hours are over
The arrangement went into effect
this morning. and involves no in
creased expense to the county.

CESS-POOL
PROVES VERY
UNPOPULAR

The landlord of the Golden build
ing, having been shut off from
sewer privileges because of an I'M
paid bill owing the company, de-
cided to reopen an old cesspool in
the rear of the building on st.
Patrick street to afford sanitary
accommodation for the tenants.
At this some of the neighbors
objected, and complaint was made
to the police officials. The matter
was taken up with the district at
torney's office, and a section of
the statute discovered under which
the cesspool can be declared a
nuisance.
The landlord of the building was
advised yesterday afternoon that the
cesspool would not be allowed
there. The old cesspool once over
flowed the premises of the Lothrop-
Davis company

CELEBRATING
new YEARS
ARE CHINKS
LOCAL CHINKS ARE PROPERLY
OBSERVING THEIR BIG AN
NUAL BLOWOUT.

The local Chinks are celebrating
their New Year with considerable
enthusiasm. This New Year, which
began at midnight Saturday, is the
year three of Son Hung, the en-
peror, and the year 1909 since
the beginning of Chinese history,
according to the records that are
confessed to embady some tradi-
tions.
While there are but few Chinese
in Tonopah at the present time,
still the celebration of the event
this year is marked by enthusiasm
and earnestness. On Central street,
the residence and business section
of majority of the Celestials was
the scene of considerable activity.
Tables were laden with quantities
of roast chicken, roast pig and a
variety of other Chinese dishes.
! Around the dishes were placed
sticks of incense which were light
ed, and the Chinese formally ex-
tended congratulations to each
other.
Suen Yung, an over average in
telligent Chinese, who has lived in
Tonopah for several years, in dis
cussing the celebration of New
Year, according to the custom oil
his native land, said:
In China the celebration lasts
for six weeks, during which time
nothing but necessary work is per-
formed, but here our numbers are
too few and our wealthy too small
to permit this. Ten days is enough
for us here, but in the larger cities
where there are many Chinese the
festivities last two weeks, three
weeks or a month"
Asked as to the report that al
imperial edict had commanded tha
every Chinese cut off his queue
at the beginning of the New Year
he replied:
1T is not that we have to GU
off our queues. The order is thai
it shall be no different-the Chin
csc with or without the queue il
just the same. He loses nothins
in standing by wearing short hair
Before it was bad to go back t.
China without the queue
i Yung also corrected common
and oft-repeated statement that ey
cry Chinese pays his debts on thu
New Year.
Some of them do he declared
but not all, by any means. TIL,
good Chinese who cannot pay comes
to the debtor and acknowledges hi
obligation. The bad one is like an,
other man who does not want t
pay The difference between Ameri
can and Chinese law is this: II
: China a debt never outlaws. If
owe and fail to pay and die m,
children still owe, and if they fai
to pay their children still owe
The debt goes on forever
