Interesting Yarn
Handed In

Our literary editor is just in receipt
OF the newest of all the new autumn
detective stories. THE House .:
Iron Men," by the imaginative author
Jack Steele, whose first long story.
Husband by Proxy" met with such
pronounced success a year or more
ago
The "House" containing the Iron
Men is certainly crammed full oi
mystery, romance and excitement
The story opens with the receipt oI
huge cardboard box by the hero oi
the yarn, on his birthday. His fan
Gee is present when the parcel is o.,
ened. 1t contains an exquisite girl
alive and already enmeshed in all
sorts of conditions of trouble The
subsequent discovery of huge and
famous ruby in the heel of her shoe.
for which gem one Maharaja has
been murdered in New York, involN
es her, and all who ally themselvcs
with her cause in the most thrilling
and ceaseless round of adventures.
The hero's torture, his release at
last and the motor boat race and war
fare are samples merely of the swift
and enthralling interest 1t is GER
tainly melodramatic-but that seems
to be the sort of thing we crave, for
we will DerSiSt in Settino lin till the
creepy hours of the morning to fin
ish the lively yarn The detective,
Garrison, who figured in the earlier
story, reappears in this. He is Ger
tainly human, plausible, clever and
he gets a grasp on the readers affec-
tions early in the game.
When Jack Steele gets another out
like this, he can pass copy along

Gov. Oddie
To Journey

Acting under the advice OF his
physician. DR. George Mckenzie
Governor Oddie will leave Reno the
latter part of this week for vacation
of about a month in Oregon in order
to fully recuperate his health.
The Governors condition, SO far as
the operation proper is concerned, is
excellent but it was preceded by a
long period of i'll health which had
the effect OF nearly breaking down an
otherwise strong constitution. For
some time he suffered intensely from
what he considered Indigestion but
which was due to the inflammation Of
the appendix and he is now greatly in
need Of rest and complete nourish-
ment. -
DR.. Mckenzie was careful to state
that beyond the need o. thorough
nourishment and the opportunity for
recuperation under the most favor
able conditions, the Governors con
dition was most Satisfactory.-Ren

A DeluSiOn
TO Citizens

There is a habit and a delusion
among a large number OF our people
to go to nearby town to shop, be
lieving that they can purchase cheap
er, We think these good people may
be buncoed by their own thought.
Please reckon your carefare and
time, if the latter is worth anything
II our town merchants try to soak
you or have not what you want, you
are justified to go elsewhere But
first find out by getting prices and
see what your home merchants have.
Read their advertisements in your
home papers, of course if they do not
advertise and you do not know that
they are in business, that is not your
fault and you are again justified in
going to those who attract you by
their advertisements, keeping you
posted and informing you daily that
they are still in business, would like
to have share of your trade and are
catering to your wants.

To Asylum

John Lee, who was committed tC

an attempted rape in Douglas county
was last evening taken to the Insane
ASYLUM. Drs Mclean and Circe
held and examination and committed
the man.
In the complaint from the prison
it is stated that Lee is becoming
violent pays, no heed to prison regu-
lations and in many cases shows sign
of insanity. 1t is possible that the
man may improve under the care Of
the physician in charge of the state
institution.
The case attracted a considerable
amount of attention at the time from
the fact the the assault was upon his
own daughter. A very large family
of children and a wife were left al
most penniless in the world by his
action That the man was undoubt
edly demented at the time has been
shown by his actions since confine-
ment at the pcnitentiary.
