Revival Meetings at the Baptist Church.

The revival meetings have opened very encouragingly, and the attend ance has been very good indeed. Deep spiritual influence is felt in every ses- sion, and the sermons of the Evangel- ist are practical and powerful to con- vince saints of their duty and sinners of their needs.
 The church congregation and friends from other churches .are all deeply in- terested and alive to the work. The singer Evangelist Paquette is surely sweet singer in Zion. The outlook is most hopeful.
 On Sunday afternoon at o'clock there will be woman's meeting in the church, and all the women of this and other towns are cordially invited to attend and share in the blessings.
 The Evangelists will have charge of the Sunday morning service and also of the evening service. The public are all invited.

l including sinking fund inter- est on loans and incidental expenses. ----- Total S27 200 00 A tax of sl mills, to be collected on or before July 10th, was voted. The | grand list Is estimated at S3,232, 76S
 which will make the amount raised 800 more than the appropriation calls | for.
 It was also voted to appropriate $4,500 for road roller, stone crusher and shed for housing same. The council was authorized to bor- row such sums of money as should be necessary until the taxes are collected. including the money for the roller and erusher.
 The only discussion took place when the matter of the roller and crusher was taken up. Inquiry was made as to what investigation had been made and Alderman Hawkins, chairman of the highway committee, made a state- ment in part as follows:
 The committee have made extensive investigations and find that all super intendents of streets say that rollers and crushers are a saving investment of practical value. The committee have been handicapped in the past in getting material. They bought l5O tons of trap rock last year at $1 80 a ton. Have to use the fine rock as they have no roller and have to depend upon travel to work it down. This fine rock becomes powdered and dis appears. With crusher could have different sizes and make improvements much more permanent. The commit tee are of the opinion that 1t would be a benefit and saving to. the city. Any man of ordinary intelligence can be in- structed In few days to run the roller. At first the roller would be used to fur nish power for the crusher.
 Chester E. Child said that he had looked into the matter and had some figures to submit. He gave them and claimed that they showed loss to buy over hiring | roller of s375.
 Alderman Hawkins said that the roller would be used much more than estimated by MT. Child, that the roller would be used for preparatory work as well as rolling the rock. If properly surfaced, wet and relied down the im- provements would be much more per- manent.
 W. $. Johnson said that MT. Child did not take into consideration the cost of gravel and the cost of the long hauls necessary to get it where wanted- Ii the roiter had been bought ten years ago 1t would have paid for itself many times over.
 "Yes, and we would have had some good roads, said the mayor. J. F. Carpenter and l.. II. Fuller each spoke favorably on the matter Judge Fuller pointed out the various places in the city where roads were continually being fixed at cost of thousands of dollars where If done
 right and made permanent large amounts would be saved.
 When the question was put on mo- | tion of J. f. Carpenter, 1t was carried | almost unanimously.

ONE GOOD DEED IN MANY.

The state legislature has made a record for
itself IN the line OF procrastinatiOn evasion fill
clustering and plays to the gallery until the de-
cent people Of Nevada. who put the members
of the body in Office are ready to reich and
ayow disapproval every time the name of the
senate assembly is mentioned. The divorce
bill one of the important state issues, seems in
a fair way to be sdetracked, and so pressure
can be brought against revision of the gambling
law. Reno killed the gambling for the state
and pauperized the southern counties of the
state yet Reno maintains one of the greatest
hotbeds Of vice and immortality in the world
worse even than Seattles famous protected
vice trust-and is satisfied to keep her brazen
and infamous divorce colony before the eyes
of the world while deprecating gambling.
However, slight measure of forgiveness is
due the state s lawmakers for the decency and
fairness shown at last for the interest of the
people by passing the weights and measures
bill Alleged graft bills, cnch bills, measures
intended to crafty personal Spite have wendell
their torturous way way through the hopper of
the Legislature.
One decent and properly intended bill was
placed before the solons however, and-won-
der of wOnders-it passed The weights and
measures bill stands a fair chance of becoming
a law regardless of the Reno lobby regardless
of the grafters and short-weight experts OF the
state who lobbed against it. Therefore there
must be something good in the legislature, and
the Bonanza is ready to concede that something
may yet be accomplished iby-almost-
maybe-but there are but few days yet.
However, the passage OF the weights ano
measures bill is one good thing and il that Is
all the legislature accompshes-well we ear
only hope that the next one will be composed
Of up-to-date. progressive men. anxious to &c
for the people of Nevada what they were elect
ed for.

LET NEVADA HAVE RESCUE CAR.

The terrible results of the Belmont disaster
of last Thursday has emphasized point more
than anything else.
Nevada should have rescue car stationed
at some central point where il would be I'M
mediately available III the event of similar dis
asters Human life is too precious for the
penditure of a few thousand dollars to stand IN
the way of proper safeguarding of life.
Those interested in Nevada and Nevadas
miners should go to the Tonopah & Goldfeld de-
pot and go through the rescue car which United
States Senator George S Nixon caused the bu
reau of mines to send to Tonopah as he
heard Of the disaster.
The car was stationed at Rock Springs, Wyo.
and before il could arrive here the fire was
practically out and all human life within the
confines Of the mine was conceded to be snutfed
out The good intent of Senator Nixon is not
blameable for. this but the fact that the ear
with it's oxygen tanks, fire helmets thousands of
feet Of oxygen hose, cylinders for oxygen aud
foul air respirators, was so far distant that gas
and smoke did their fatal work before the car
could arrive
With the wonderful scientific equipment car
red in the car and the expert services OF Sum
ner S. Smith, the rescue man in charge O the
car had it been on hand in time such as 1t wDut
have been had it been stationed at some central
Nevada point bulkheads could have been BROKEN
down, air currents diverted, water thrown d.
rectly on the seat Of the fire and thousand
and one things done to prevent the conditions
which resulted in death.
There the Bonanza suggests let the state
legislature, hitherto procrastinatng, pass me-
mortal or resolution to congress asking Tor the
establishment of state rescue bureau IN Ne
vada at some central point in charge OF rec
ognized expert let there be rescue car, equip
ped as are those in Colorado, Utah, Montana
and Wyoming placed here and let there be a
sufficient fund provided by either the state or
bureau of mines so the maintenance may be as
sured and the highest degree OF efficiency s.
cured
What the rescue car now here cost is prob
lematcal 1t is sufficient to say, however, that,
could the lives of the unfortunate victims OF
the Belmont disaster be restored the people OF
Tonopah in five minutes would subscribe three
times the first cost OF the car and It's equip
ment
Why should not Nevada-that queen mining
state Of the word-be progressive and give her
miners certainty Of protection?

WHAT HAS NIXON DONE?

During the late campaign his opponent often
asked the question: What has Nixon ever done
for the state of Nevada?" AS the latest answer
70 state that through Senator Nixon, the United
TO state that through Senaor Nixon the United
States Bureau of Mines rescue car is now IN
Tonopah not, however, having arrived until TOO
late to prove Of any assistance IN the disaster Oh
fast Thursday mornng-but through no taut OF
Senator Nixon. Had a wire been sent to the
senator upon the outbreak Of the fire the car
would have been here within seventeen hours.
While this also would have been too late, never
theless it would have demonstrated the fact That
the senator is working to the utmost OF ms
ability for the state which he ably repre-
sents.
No sooner had he seen the newspaper DIS
patches than he chit the wires " and kept them
hot until the ear was enroute for the scene OF
the trouble This should prove an ample answer
TO those Calamity howlers" who so strongly
opposed the senator during the last campaign.
'fWhat has Nixon done for the state OF
Nevada?"
However. should this not appease those who
commended that Nixon S opponent was the only
fit man to represent us IN Washington, II might
be well TO state that it was and still is, a well
known fact that Mr. Nixon is in close touch with
the administration That he is in position to
make requests of the administration that VIII
be granted And it is more probable that he
will shortly secure for the state of Nevada
n rescue ear on the order of the one he seat
here post-haste upon learning Of the mine fire.
Further it might be stated in answer to this
all-important question that George S. Nixon is a
heavy taxpayer in this state
Anyway: Hasn't Nixon done a little for his
statel Has he not done what others could not
accomplish

The GIRL IN
The KIMONO
TO Be HERE

The stage has lot of sins to
answer for. Perhaps as many of
these will come under the head
of musical comedy as anything else.
If vote were taken here on this
question, it is a cinch this would
be the judgment But as they say
about the girl with curl on her
forehead, when she is good she is
very good, and when she is bad she
is horried; so may it he said of
musical comedy And glory be,
here comes along one of the good
kind. 1.-The Girl in the Kimono,"
rollicking farce with music, which
made the Iiegfeld theater, Chicago,
a place of extraordinary public in
terest for over five months, is due
here shortly to regale our dropping
spirits, and kindle a new interest in
regard to things theatrical. This
farce is the work of Helen Bagg,
the popular magazine contributor,
and is one of those rare compounds
of fun and music seldom met with
by the eager theatergoers, in years
and years of constant search. And
it is pleasing to note, in this con-
nection, that the success of the play
does not rest on any vulgar com
promise with the alleged low taste
of the day. The specialties are
delightful conceits in color and
movement without the slightest of.
Tense to good taste. and the dia.
logue and songs are penetratingly
funny without any drawback OF
smut.
Willie Dunlay, of "The Honey
Mooner" fame, is the principle com.
edian of the company. which mum.
bers forty in all and will be in.
dlvidually the same as carried the
Chicago production to remarkable
success.

from the surroundings of sympa-
