ARRESTED TWO BURGLARS

Last night Constable Ouderirk
received word through the Western
Pacifi' telegraph operator that a
burglary had been committed at
Shafter Saturday night and that
the men might be on freight
train that was due in a short time.
He and Deputy Constable Cotant
and Deputy Sheriff Critchley went
to the roundhouse and waited for
tie tain to pull in. When il came,
seven men got off just Mellow the
round house. Among them, were
two that filed the description
given to the officers. Constable
Ouderkirk saw them and ordered
them to throw up their hands as
he was an officer and wanted them.
1t took the second command,
coupled with a mild suggestion
from the constable. to convince
one of them that he meant busi-
ness. The men were then scarcned
and two pistols were taken from
them. Officers Critchey and
Cotant were on the other side of
the train and were notified of the
arrest. They overlook Constable
Ouderkirk with his men and an
other search of the prisoners was
made. In the stocking Of one of
them they found a small pistol,
which the man had been trying to
get under the pretense that he
wanted to tie his shoe. The stolen
property. consisting of stickpins,
four suits of colthing, jewelry and
other articles. was also found on
them. They were taken TO Jail
and locked up.
Since the above vas put in type,
we learned that four o.ercoats.
four suits Of clothes, three pistols
and lot of jewelry were found on
the men. The value of the prop.
erty recovered is in the neighbor-
hood of 5000. The prisoners are
young men about % yesrs Of age
and are strangers in this section.
They are in jail waiting the arrival
of P. B. Hardy from Shafter to
prosecute them.

DR.. GARDNER IN
THE LANE HOSPITAL

DR.. G. M GardGer was taken
very i'll Sunday afternoon from
an acute pain which was almost
more than he could bear. He was
hurriedly taken to Hazen in an
auto by his brother, Percy Gardner,
and accompanied by Mrs. Gardner
and their daughter, Car, and II.
B. Morris took the first train for
San Francisco. Upon arrival
there DR.. Gardner was at once
placed in charge of the physicians
at the Lane hospital.
Before leaving here the attack
was believed to be the result OF
gals tones and this opinion was
not changed up to the time that
Mr.. Morris left on Tuesday for
the return home. Before he left
h owever the ex.ray examination
had heen made but the result was
not known rs il required 48 hours
for the plate to dryso It could be
developed.
DR. Gatdner's intiamtc friends
knew that he had been suffering
or some little time but it was
not until Saturday that the pain
became acute.
A letter from Mrs. Gardner
states that the doctors condition
is justabout the same. - Churchill

EUREKA-PALISADE R. R.
TO BE BUILT At ONCE

: Contract was let last Saturday to
the Wahsatch Construction COM
panv for the rebuilding of the rail-
road between Eureka and Palisade.
This good news was brought to
Ely on Wednesday bv A. B. Light
foot, who was in Eureka on Sunday
when the news was telephored
from Palisade by S. G. Dye. agent
for the Eureka & Palisade. The
report was confirmed the next day
by Manager Randolph, who came
to Eureka with an engineer to look
over the situation.
The Wahsatch Construction COM
pany has its outfit along the line of
the Western Pacific railway and
will lose no time in transferring the
equipment to Palisade to begin the
new work. About % miles of
track must be either repaired or
rebuilt but it has heen estimated
that the work can be completed in
sixty days after the construction
company once gets down to busi-
ness.
The rebuilding Of the road has
been undertaken by a single man, a
Mr.. Whittall, who, is is said, has
purchased the property outright
from the for ner owners and will
conduct it as private enterprise.
He has recently returned from
Europe with the avowed intention
of rebuilding the road and putting
1T into operation at the earliest
possible date.
News of the rebuilding Of the
road will be received with the
greatest satisfaction throughout
Eureka and western White Pine
counties. 1t means the salvation
Of the camps of Eureka and Hamil-
ton which since the washing out of
the railroad W the flood nearly
two years ago have been unable to
ship the ore from their mines. 1t
is also of the greatest benefit to a
large section Of ranching country
which will be brought early a
hundred miles nearer shipping
point by the rebuilding of the
road Ely Record.

MORE SUNNY
jim CONSERVATION

IL will be remembered that Vice
President James Sherman recently
uid what few vice presidents have
ever done made himself famous.
1t was by delivering a speech on
the somewhat hackneyed and
prosaic subject of conservation.
From this very dull material he
managed to construct a master
piece. He said, Let this genera.
tion use up all the natural re-
sources it wants. and let the next
gene ration shift for itself"
Perhaps it might be thought
that was fame enough for any one
man. But not SO. Sunny jim is
to pull off another one.
This time it is about the wool
clothing and schedule K. In order
that the insurgents and tariff
reformers might not pull any wool
over his eyes, Genial Jim went in
for personal investigation. He
paid visit to New Jersey woolcn
mlll-the sort of place wherc
schedule K is doing its greatest
harm, according to the point of
view.
He saw the raw wool unpackcd
and sent through various machines,
until it came out finished cloth.
The wool he watched and the
cloth he saw finished is now beng
made into a suit of clothes, in
which he will appear next week,
when he makes his great speech at
Camden. n. j.. or the conservation
of wool and the sacred high pro.
tective principles Of the rebpubli-
can party.
The burden Of his remarks. as in
the case of conservation, will un-
doubtedly be: Let Us get all we
can while we are at it,"
1t will unqucstionaly be an elo-
quent speech, and the vice presi-
dents fame will be enhanced
thereby; but there will be- one
great drawback to it. The pro-
tected interests of this country
have already squeezed out of the
buying public all that the public
will stand. The public can't get
a suit of clothes by just standing
and watching wool go through a
mill, Herein is where Sunny
Jim's speech will lack pith and

HOW TO TURN ONE CENT
INTO GOLDEN NIACARAS

In 1892 writes J. Holt School
ing in the November Strand Maya.
zine. a project was suggested to
tap the force of Niagara by coz.
structing turbines. or water
wheels. and to transmit this force
Of falling water throughout the
United States. The water power
of Niagara was then estimated at
ten million cubic feet per second,
and the value of this utilized
force was estimated at one and a
half million dollars per day.
In 1889. the city of Buffalo con-
tracted with the Niagara Power
company for 10000 horse power
at Sl50.O00 per annum, to light the
city and to drive factories by a
cable twenty miles in length
from Niagara Falls to Buffalo
city. We will make golden
Niagara, and will see if we can
thereby get rid of the stupendous
wealth created by the investment
OF One Cent in Ammo Domini l at
five per centum compound interest.
Imagine great mountain, as
large as the whole earth, with a
Niagara of molten gold rushing
over the precipice as there are
cubic feet Of water estimated to
be falling over the real Niagara.
That is TO say, molten gold to the
value of nearly 2,700 times the
amount of the national debt of the
United States rushes over this
Niagara every second of time.
At the end of the 1000 million
years rush ing Of this golden
Niagara only a small fraction Of
the money would have been got
rid Of. There would remain un-
touched nearly the whole of the
amount of 1896, 1870, 900, 600, OOO.-
900, 900. 900, 200. 900, 900, 600. 600
this being the accumulated value
in the year 1910 of One Cent
invested in Ammo Domini at five
per centum compound interest.
In order to exhaust all this
wealth il would he necessary to set
at work one hundred millions of
Golden Niagaras in place of one
Niagara to let all thee Nagaras

thousand million years Of continu-
ous.rushing torrents of molten

DESERVED TRIBUTE
TO PHYSICIANS

Newspapers frequently criticise
physicians as class and il may
have seemed to some that recently
the profession was getting rather
more than its share of such criti.
cism. There has never been any
question however. as to the ap.
probation of the physician as ar
individual. as shown by this
editorial from the Washington
Herald:
OF all the servants of mankind,
the physician is apt to be the
most abused. We criticize him
and pigeon hole his bills, but at
the first twinge we are jangling
his bell in alarm. The physician
Is the man who must be ready
always. Neither minute-hand nor
hCur-hand describes a time when
he is not on duty. If he gets a
whole nights rest, it is because
the community happen to be free
from aches and pains. He is the
slave of the telephone, night-bell,
door-bell aud ofiice-bell.
After a hard day work, an
other man goes to bed with the
sense Of having earned his rest:
but the probabilities are that the
physician will be asked to respond
to some ones beck and call. He
is altogether special kind of a
person. His illusions are few.
His inside information is enorm-
Gus. If now and then he wear
superior smiles forgive him. He
has just heard some remark
whi' h is hypocritical. Again,
his jokes are likely to be a bit
technical, and his view of life
mateIialistic. But If he ihas a
brand Of idcalism. you can put
your trust in it, for he has learned
in hard school. He has faced the
worst and still believes the best.
If he has religion, it will be worth
while, for he has wrested it out of
the actual battles Of good and evil
in life seen at close range.
The lawyer we take into our
confidence occasionally; the
clergyman we admit to our parlor
and dining room; but the doctor
goes into the bed rooms unannoun-
cCd. If what he sees there sur
prises him. he Ioes not let it be
known. In the healing of bodies
he has opportunities for hoaIng souls
which could never come to a
priest. He is the lay father con.
fcssOr. regardless of creed. He
always fits in. He is a safe man
on committees; he can turn his
nand to any public business, and,
if left alone discharges it credi-
tably. He knows more psychology
in five minute than the philosopher
in a week, yet he the least emo
tional Of men.
When the lawyer is in tears he
for" jury, and the parson is
pathetic from his pulpit, the
doctor is keeping his nerve.
The peculiar thing about him is
that while fighting the grim and
silent battle with death without
the applause of a crowd, often
without pay and sometimes without
gratitude. he seems superior TO all
these considerations. He is res
ponding to a higher sort of
noblcsscUblige which is almost
unintclligible to the average man.
Somewhere either in this world
or the next he reaps his deserved
reward"

and a Lecture.

Rev. Zed Hetzel Copp, who has es-
sayed the task of engenderinS spirit
OF manliness and righteousness in the
hearts of the newsboys of Washington,
yesterday garnered nearly 100 OF the
youngsters in the Central Union Mission.
Rev. Mr.. Copp organized the boys into
a society known as the Washington
branch Of the Newsboy's Association of
America, which plans. among other
things, the erection Of a home for the
boys
Mr.. Copp, in speaking of the home,
was trife vague. But the newspaper
vendors, being lads Of easy imagination,
pictured great big place, with swim
ming pool, pool tables, reading rooms,
gymnasiums, and all the comforts Of
home and club combined. Mr.. Copp said
he would tell more about the home later.
Before allowing the lads to depart
Rev. Mr.. Copp gave them some advice.
Don't sell a paper to man on
moving street car and tell him you have
no change when he hands you a nickel
or q dime or a quarter" said Mr.. Copp.
Don't run through the streets shouting
extra and selling papers OF regular edi-
tons: Don't sit on the curb and cry and
tell the sympathetic old lady or gentle
man who questions you that you are sick
and will get whipped II you don't sell out
before you go hOme.''
Mr.. Copp concluded with a lecture on
the Life Of George Washington" Illus
trated with stereopticon views. He was
assisted by Supt. Francis ]. Lukens. of
the Central Union Mission. who pre-
sided. and addressed the boys.

SOCIALISTS TRYING
TO ABSORB UNIONS
Representative Graham Sees
Danger to Labor.

Asserting that the hands of the Social
ist party are gripping the throat of union
labor. Representative James NJ. Graham,
of Illinois, yesterday declared that the
American Federation of Labor is fight
ing the fight of its life in an effort to
maintain it's individuality. Mr.. Graham
said he speaks from personal experience
in his own district when he says that
the Socialist party is conducting a de-
tailed campaign N an effort to absorb
under the Socialist banner all trades
unions in this country.
This campaign has been going on for
some time, Mr.. Graham asserts, and the
leaders of the American Federation of
Labor not only are cogniZant of the en-
croachment, but are doing their best to
maintain the individuality of their or
ganization.
The Aferican Federation of Labor
is up against the hardest fight in its
history, right now," said Mr.. Graham.
The Socialist party is conducting a
campaign to bring under the banner of
socialism all union organizations; to
make trades unionism SYNONYMOUS with
socialism. The campaign is being con-
Quoted with the greatest attention to
detail.
Converts to the principles of social
ism are being sought most assiduously
among union men and in those organi-
cations where they can do the most
good These men are made workers
for socialism, spreaders Of the doctrine
among other union men in the organi-
Zation, with a view to committing the
entire organization, and, ultimately.
the entire American Federation of La
Dor to the doctrine of socialism"
