MINERAL POINT
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Close of the Fourth School Month.
Athletic Association Party
Successful.

The class memorial of the class of
1910 the high school sanitary drinking
fountain, is at last in place in the hall
of the high school.
It has taken some time to secure it
because there was nothing like it on
the market and it had to be made up
from separate parts purchased from
several different firms. Delays and
disappointments of one kind and anoth
er kept putting off the assembling of
the different parts until the members of
the class were certainly obliged to ex
ercise considerable patience, but know
ing what the class wanted we were de-
termined to accept nothing else.
The fountain is certainly thing of
beauty and we are positive that it will
be JOY forever.
The members of the class may we'll
be proud of their memorial and the
high school will take pride in keeping
it as beautiful as it is at present.
present for we want you to call and see
it and perhaps you will then stay and
visit the school.
We are not having the visitors we
ought to have. 1t is not due to indiffer
ence on the part of the parents but to a
feeling that these visits in some way
may interrupt the work. Please visit
the school.
Mrs. William Uren visited the high
school Tuesday forenoon. Raymond
Jackson, 1909, and Guy Fessenden,
1910, were recent visitors.
This is the close of the fourth month
of school and you may look for the
cards the first of next week.
The athletic association reports fine
time both socially and financially at the
box social. The boys are especially
grateful to those who, although they
could not attend, contributed so gener
ously.

OUTLOOK FOR
INTERVENTION
IS NOT BRIGHT

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE outlook
for a successful Intervention to
bring to an end the Turko-Italian
war is becoming less favorable, ac-
cording to a semi-offcial statement
yesterday.
Accordingly, diplomats here see
no chance for mediation at present,
or until the attitude of the Turkish
chamber of deputies is ascertained.
Emperor William postponed for
several days the audience which had
been arranged fer tomorrow for
the newly accredited American am
bassador, Mr. Leishman.
The Chinese situation is most
delicate and no surprise would be
felt here If it caused international
negotiations to determine by join
action by the powers.
The commander of the German
gunboat Tiger reports from Hankov
that the American admiral has as
sumed command of the foreign war
ships at Hankow, the Japanese ad
miral, Kawashima Kug, at the heat
of the foreign land forces.

CAUSE Of SUIT
AGAINST BANKS

RENO, New, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Ber-
tha Smith yesterday filed a suit
in the district court again the Ma
tional bank of D. 0. Mills & Com
pany of Sacramento and the Washoe
County bank.
In this suit Mrs Smith is suing
FOR the collection of check
amounting to about $4,000. She
gave this check to the D. o. Mills
bank for collection from bank
in Tonopah, and the D. o. Mills
bank sent it to the Washoe County
bank for collection. There was some
trouble about the collection and SHE
brought suit against the two bank
in the federal court. No decision
was ever rendered by the fedora
court and therefore this suit wa
6led.

COUNTY MUST
ERECT sign POSTS
GRAND JURY TO HAVE SIGN
BOARDS ERECTED ON
THE DESERT.

Judge Peter Breen, of the Third
judicial district court at Austin, last
week, in charging the grand jury,
delt at length upon the necessity
of placing sign boards upon desert
roads in Lander county, and cited
the law regarding the same. 1t
would help out greatly in this large
desert county of Nye if our district
judge would remind the grand jury
when it convenes in few days, of
the law pertaining to sign posts. A
traveller can lose himself inside of
20 miles from TonOpah by taking
the wrong road. By all means
erect the posts. The southern por-
tion of this county has but few
road sign boards directing the weary
traveller.

BOY DIES
FROM INJURIES
RECEIVED SUNDAY

Sunday afternoon while Driver
John Sellstrom and his helper were
nearing the West End ore house
with the auto truck that delivers
the company ore to the mill, the
helper noticed a little boy, who
proved to be August Wenzel, riding
on the running board, and the child,
seeing he was discovered, attempted
to jump off. The helper told the
lad not to jump but wait until the
truck stopped The boy did not
heed his warning and stepped from
the auto, falling to the ground.
1t is believed that the tool box or
the side of the car struck the boy
in the abdomen, causing internal
injuries. The lad was picked up
by his father, the family living
across the street from the ore
house, and carried into the resi-
dence.
DR.. Cowden was called and soon
learned that the frail child was fa-
liliy injured. The patient suffered
severely until death relieved him
