The Meeting

THE NEWSPAPER MEN Of the State will nee in Reno o the

trade or occupation calls for a greater amount OF energy and ability
than the newspaper business. and yet this business, through the failure
of the profession o properly organize itself in this state. offers probably
less inducements than many other trades and professions.
To the editor OF the Carson Appeal belongs much credit Tor urging
upon Nevada newspafermen, the necessity of organization, and his
Appeals" have been well placed.
Now We will get together n the 18th OF December, exchange our
views, and a healthy, helpful organization will be the outcome-Lovc-

Nevada Lands

IT was not many years ago that Nevada lands we're regarded as
mere sagebrush. The early settlers when they had the chance traded
the lands for a side of bacon or anything that looked like use. The
stranger believed that it wa only so much sagebrush and the cattle
and sheep m grew rich o the vast tracts that yer OF ever sur-
veyed. Times have changed.
A few days ago a comparatively small farm in Douglas County
sold for fifty thousand dollars cash. Not many years back that u
OF money would have bought the entire valley. The same condition
exists in a hundred other sections Of the State
Since the railroads. the land agents and the State has taken up
the cause OF more population o n the big tracts there is a steady de
mand for what is known as Nevada sagcbrush. There is but one
trouble at present and that is that the land is not always available
secure options. IS every free hold in this section is money making
and it hard to py a settler loose from a good thing.

UNCLEs STOLE RODGERS BABY.
Kidnappers In Jail-$12,O 900 Rccoy-
cred from Hiding Place,

Las Vegas, New Mexico, April 80
Implicated by the confession Of Joe
Virgins, a former life convict, Will
II John Rodgers, uncles of little
Waldo Rodgers, were last night ar
rested for completely in the lads alb
duction. For his return $12, 900
ransom was paid, VIII Rodgers act
ing as agent for Mrs. Rogers.
Late last night Will Rodgers con-
fessed his part in the abduction.
He told where the money was hidden.
$4,000 Recovered.
The $4,000 procured by the kid
nappers was late last night recov-
cred.
The accused are in the county
jail, which is guarded by a large
force Of deputies. Plans have been
formulated for taking the prison
ers to the prison at Santa Fe to-day
for safe-keeping.
The arrest Of Virgins came late
yesterday. His confession, which fol-
lowed, seemingly cleared up the mys-
terry that for more than ten days has
surrounded the kidnapping OF little
Waldo Rodgers, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. T.. Rodgers, and his safe return
upon the payment of $4,000 a n
som.
$4,000 'Easy Money"
According to the story told by
Virgins, he first became acquainted
with John Rodgers through the law
firm by which the latter was en-
ployed and which was instrumental
in getting Virgins pardoned from
the pen%itentiary. Virgins says that
while working in the coal mines at
Madrid, N. NJ, he received a letter
from John Rodgers, suggesting a
scheme for making $4,000 easy
money. Virgins says he came to
Las Vegas in a few days and later
entered into the plot.
Waldo Rodgers, the two-year-old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Rodgers,
and the grandson Of II. l.. Waldo, a
Kansas City millionaire, was kid
mapped from the family residence on
the night Of March 20.
Last nights disclosures have again
aroused the city to a degree of ex-
element that authorities fear may
result in a demonstration against
the prisoners.

SOLAR ECLIPSE APRIL 90.
VIII BE Plainly Visible in ALI Parts
OF South Carolina.

On the 2Sth Of this month penple
in this State will have an excellent
opportunity OF observing a total
eclipse Of the sun, which will be more
plainly visible here than any other
eclipse for several years. The eclipse
will be visible here as obscuring OF
two digfts off the southern limit Of
the sun.
This means hat from this point
the moon will totally blot out a por-
ton from the lower part Of the sun,
which will represent in size two
astronomical digits. Many people
will get out their smoked glasses and
ameteur telescopes and attempt to
learn something about the king Of
the planets.
The eclipse will be visible in a
large portion Of the United States
and nowhere better than in this sec
ton. The sun will set eclipsed east
Of a line drawn from Pittsburg to
Matagorda Bay, Texas. Washington,
D. c., is at the northern Atlantic
boundary Of the area Of visibility.
The eclipse will be invisible north
Of a line drawn from Pittsburg to
Washington. The eclipse will be very
small in the Western and Middle
States. At San Diego, Cal, less than
one-half Of the suns face will be OBJ
scured, while at Chicago less than
one-sixtieth will be eclipsed. The
eclipse will begin Al South Carolina
about 6.17 and the sun will set eclips-
ed. There will be another solar
eclipse this year, which will take
place on October 90. This will be
an annular eclipse, and will not be
visible on the Western Continent.
Astronomers will hail the eclipse
this month with great rejoicing. AL
ready the observatory on Mount Will
son Is making preparations for OBJ
%servation. A solar eclipse furnishes
valuable opportunities for the study
of the suns corona. This portion Of
the sun is practically beyond the
study Of the astronomer under nor
NAL conditions, because of it's great
brightness.
When the moon passes between
the earth and the sun, it Is possible
to train a telescope upon the corona
IN such a manner as not only to get
photographs and observations Of the
corona, but what is considered far
more important, to obtain a spectre
scopic photo Of the corona, which ia
expected to add greatly to the infor-
nation concerning the composition Of
the solar BODY.

Tribute to j. j. Davis.

Edltor keowee Courier: Let me
come this morning and lay these
fresh flowers upon the grave and to
the memory of my departed friend,
~. Davis, whose death was a sur
prise and a shock to me, and
brought sorrow and grief to my
heart.
1t was my privilege to know him
personally about three years. At
the very first he was drawn to me as
with hooks Of steel. He was a man
of high Christian character; he stood
FOR his church, and loved her doc
trines. At the same time he was
broad and liberal in his views. He
we man of strong convictions, and
those convictions YER based upon
The standard Of truth. honesty and
virtue. He carried with him daily
a living faith in a loving Christ. He
made Gods word the man Of his
counsel and the guide to his life.
He was a true Christian gentleman
In the full meaning Of that term. He
was as gentle and modest as a wo-
man, and as pure as a virgin in
thought, and when the evening
shadows Of life began to gather about
him he could have said, 81 have
fought, a good fight, I have kept the
faith once delivered unto the saints"
His sainted soul plumed its wings
and left It's house of clay and re-
turned to the God who gave 1t. The
mortal body will sleep in its little
low tent, whose curtains never back
ward swing, and all the soft whis-
pering winds will chant their re-
QUEEN, and the cedar and the pine
will sing a lullaby over his sleeping
dust until the trumpet shall sound
in that morning.
How he will be missed In the
home there are no words to tell; in
the church, in the community, and in
the county. He was a man with
clean hands, pure lips and a heart
full Of the milk Of human kindness.
All Of his dealings with his fellow
man were done con the level by the
square," He vas a gallant Confede-
rate soldier. He often told me Of
his adventures and close calls. / met
one of his old command the other
day and he told me this: Guile Da-
Wis was a beardless boy In my COM
pany, but" said he, she was as brave
as Caesar in battle and as gentle as
Ruth In camp" That meant a lot.
In this my last tribute let me say
farewell. From afar salute
my friend, who still lives in my
heart, who still inspires my life. May
Gods comforting grace be sufficient
for each one Of the family in this
sad hour. May the gates OF plenty
always stand ajar; may the golden
bowl Of health be full like the pool
In the valley. where flows the water
from the springs hidden in the heart
Of the hills. Know we not that there
Is a prince fallen in Israel?
