ELY SHERIFF said
TO BE DEFAULTER

An Ely special to the Gazette yes
terday says that fearing that short
age, estimated at from $4,000 to 1900,
would be disclosed in his accounts,
Sheriff A. J. Butler, one of Nevada e
best known officers, disappeared about
ten days ago to avoid criminal prose.
cuti0n.
No one knows his whereabouts and
all efforts to locate him have been un.
availing. Butler was heard from last
at San Diego. He was probably headed
for Central or South America. Butler
carried the keys to the safe and until
last night it was presumed to contain
large sums of money
The safe was forced open in response
to the demands Of his bondsmen in the
presence of the commissioners and the
grand jury. An examination of the
contents failed to disclose the money
known to be there before Buffers de-
parture.
Another fact pertaining to his pre-
meditated and indefinite absence from
the city is that Butler, the day before
leaving, decided all his real estate TO
his wife. Butler has been in financial
difficulty sine the last campaign, when
he was a candidate for reelection
The grand jury in November found
that Butler failed to turn over 42,1O0
from license collections for September
and October. Butler was removed from
Office last night by the commissioners.
G. 8. Grain, editor Of the White Pine
News and chairman Of the Republican
county central committee, was appoint.
cd temporarily. It is Democratic
board. Grain was nominated by J. C.
Wheeler, Democrat, and chairman Of
the board, and received the support of
J. E. Stevens, Republican member, C.
c. Caperton, Democrat, refused to vote.
Much indignation is expressed
among Democrats. Prominent politi-
clans held meeting last night and
condemned Wheeler for his actions.
A petition has been circulated
around the city, which is largely sign.
ed, asking the commissioners to recon-
slider that action.
The last grand jury criticized the
lax methods in vogue in the sheriff .
Office and characterized his system of
records as to license collections as par
ticularly crude. Butler recently at
tempted to borrow money to make up
his shortage but failed. A complete
audit will be necessary to determine
his exact default.

Is A MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anythine
will sell If advertised strong enough
This is a great mistake. True, e.
few sales might be made by adVertis1
ing an absolutely worthless article
but It is only the article that is
bought again and again that pays
An example Of the big success OF
worthy article is the enormous sale
that has grown up for Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec
ord is the result of great merit sue
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
lie, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing well advertised goods, espe-
cially an article that has a national
sale like Cascarets. Do not allow q
substitute to be palmed off on you

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Educational Posters by the Thousand
to Be Displayed All over
United States.

During the next three months, the
hill boards of the United States Will
display 10000 educational posters on
tuberculosis, according to an an
nouncement made by the National AS
s~ociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
This will conclude the campaign be-
gun a war ago, when the Nationai
Bill Posters association donated free
space to the tuberculosis cause, the
Poster Printers association offered
free printing, and nine paper manu-
facturers gave the paper for the post
ers. The combined value of these sew
eral donations for this three-month
campaign is nearly $4,000
The posters are in six different de-
signs and are all printed in three o
ors. They are seven feet wide n
nine feet high. Already nearly $500
of these posters have been hung on
the bill boards of 46 different cities,
and 1t is planned to distribute 10000
more before April / in over 400 towns
and cities. Any anti-tuberculosis So
ciety in the United States may re-
ceive free of charge, except for trans
p~ortation, as many Of these posters as
can be hung on the boards in its ter
ritory. The National association with
the tuberculosis committee Of the Ma
tional Billposters and Distributors are
conducting the campaign.
The posters show in graphic form
how fresh air, good food, and rest
cure tuberculosis; how bad air, over
work and closed windows lead to con-
sumption; and how the careless con-
sumptive menaces the health of his
family by splitting Oh the floor.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

81 have seen the C%uticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and In every In
stance, I always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case IN
particular was that Of a lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was az
ficted with eczema which covered her
face-and hands entirely, breaking Out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not GO to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. | told her to get
at once a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set h was
perfectly well.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in n of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
/ have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck land after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura ONT
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas 1t was quite stiff before
/ began to apply the Ointment.
Last May I had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. / cut
the nail out of the cavity 1t made, and
of course applied the Cuticura ONT
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. 1 have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
