WORK THAT TELLS
Plenty OF IL He's Been Done Right
In Mineral Point

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine, you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove permanent.
Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test,
and plenty of proof exists right here
in Mineral Point. People who testified
years ago to relief from backache, kid
ney and urinary disorders, now declare
that relief was permanent and the cure
parfect. How can any sufferer longer
doubt the evidence?
Albert Jacka, Hoard ST., Mineral
Point, Wis, says i have had nc
reason to change my high opinion OF
Doan 5 Kidney Pills, publicly expressed
three years ago. All | said in praise
of this remedy at that time still holds
good. Doan's Kidney Pills, obtained
at Ivey's Pharmacy, entirely relieved
me of lameness and soreness in my back
and other symptoms of kidney com.

EXERCISES
AT NIXON LAST EVENING
County High School and Eighth Grade Pupils Graduate With
High HonNs in the Presence Of q Vast Con-
course Of Relatives and Friends

told them that it had not been attained
without painstaking efforts. Principal
Graham also dealt out some whole
some advice to parents and declared
that there should be larger attend
ance of students in the local branch of
the high school. He pointed out that
several towns in this and other north
ern countries had for many years made
a better showing in the number of stud
ents enrolled. He believes, however,
so he stated, that interest in the local
high school is on the increase and is
be marked Improvement in that
direction.
Prof Thompson concluded his re-
marks by thanking his auditors for
their attention and interest in the ex-
ereises as well as the members of the
orchestra and band for their services.
In a brief address Superintendent
j. F. Abel pointed out to the eighth
grade graduates the advantages to be
attained by them in pursuing their
studies in the high school and the
state university. The eighth grade
graduates are: Theckla Wright, Nina
Roundtree, Electa F. Hurst, Grace E.
Latta, Rena Brewster, Alyce E. Wag
ner, Phyllis A. Davenport, Mark F.
Cessna and Gilbert NJ Hubbard.
Nina Roundtree and Mark E. Cessna
received diplomas.
Upon the conclusion of the exercises,
dancing and tag held stray until
late hour, the proceeds of which will
be turned into the athletic fund of the
ins titution.
After short visit in Lander coun.
ty, where he will go in few days,
llof. Graham will leave Winnemucca

EXCELLENT DISCOVERIES
IN MASONIC DISTRICT

Some excellent discoveries have re-
Gently been made in the Masonic dis
triet, in that portion which lies with
in the new county of Mineral. Rob-
ert Sawyer and J. w. Viewer, who had
been employed by the Pittsburg Liber-
ty company, were the discoverers OF
the properties, which have started
quite boom in that section. They
have six claims which they call the
Roosevelt group, and they have open
ed nice deposits of good milling ore In
several places. Development is to be
done by tunnel, as the contour of the
country is suited to that purpose, and
appearances are very favorable for
making good producer at an early
date.
Their discoveries have led to quite
a rush to that section and many 9th
er locations have been made. Several
tents have been put up and num-
Der of men are working on claims in
the new district.
The country is well timbered and
there is good stream of water for
milling purposes when the district has
reached that stage.
North of the Roosevelt group are
some claims owned by Steve Kava
naugh, upon which work is being
done and fair paintings secured.
Rich float and goodlooking ledge
have been found on the Twilight claim
owned by Mrs. Eastman. Flack and
Speneeley have started work upon
some claims which they have located,
and Sawyer and Kinney are develop
ing some claims nearby. A. Van
sickle is running a tunnel ON one OF
his claims and is in good ore. The
ve'rs are believed to be a continuation
Of the True Friend and Pittsburg-
Liberty ledges.-Goldfield News.

An assemblage composed of the
loving parents and relatives and ad-
miring friends and acquaintances of
the graduates, as well as all the stud
ents of the lower grades, that filed the
edifice from pit to dome in attendance,
the joint commencement exercises OF
the Winnemucca branch of the county
high school and the eighth grade of the
local grammar school were held last
night in the Nixon opera house. 1t
was indeed, beautiful and inspiring
scene and one that will long be remem-
bered as an epoch making period in the
educational annals of Humboldt coun-
ty. The event marked an important
period in the intellectual training of
the students and the large audience
present made it clear that the people
of Humboldt county are vitally con-
eerned in the educational welfare Of
the youth of the commonwealth.
Following music by the band, the
ceremonies were begun by the rendi
tion of a song, "Thou Art Like Unto
Lovely Flower" by the members Of
the Chloral club, which received the
hearty applause of the assemblage, as
did the piano duet, Butterfly Gal
lop,' which was masterfully executed
by Miss Irma Brown, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Brown, and Miss
Lois Lear, Instructor in music.
The address of Prof. Reuben Thomp
son, associate professor of Latin ana
Greek, University of Nevada, which
followed the musical numbers, was
forceful and instrctive and held the
rapt attention of his auditors. "a
Knight of the Twentieth Century
was the theme of his remarks, in which
he pointed out the innumerable ad-
of a higher intellectual train.
ing. Prof Thompson declared that the
knight of the middle ages was a fighter
and an idealist and left no stones un-
turned in his efforts to achieve his
desires, especially those for the gen.
eral welfare of the entire people Just
such types of men and women. averred
the speaker, are needed today as In
ages passed and consequently there is
no appreciable difference in the make
up of the knight of many centuries ago
and of today. True, many achieve
ments of the past were, Prof Thompson
pointed out, wholly involved in the
use of the sword and gun, but physicai
strength has been replaced by mental
force in the progress of the nations or
the world. This is an age of men
men in every sense of the word, not
pigmies. Prof. Thompson dwelt at
length upon the opportunities of the
present day, declaring that today
man may be poor and unknown and
millionaire and his name
a household word. He declared, how
ever, that the success of the large ma.
Jority of men depends upon the com
parative earnings of the trained and
the unframed man. In closing his aa-
dress, Prof. Thompson declared that
the knight of the twentieth century
must be Independent in thought and
action, declaring that progress does
not lay along the beaten path.

which they expect to avail themselves,

RENO MURDERER FINALLY
CAUGHT AT Ell PA4O

Following the receipt by Sheriff
Ferrel of telegram announcing the
capture of an accused murderer want
ed in Reno, it is likely the county COM
missioners will direct the sheriff to
proceed to Ell Paso, Texas, to bring
back Thompson, alias Raceivich, alias
Wilson, who is wanted for the killing
# a messenger boy in Reno in June,
1909.
Some days ago the sheriff received
word that Raceivich was known to be
in Ell Paso and he sent word to the
officers to arrest him.
Thursday night Sheriff Ferrel receiv-
ed telegram from Chief Of Detectives
Stansel of FL Paso stating that Race
ivich was in custody and advising Fer
rel to leone quick and rush mat.
ters.''
If the sheriff is sent for the man, as
will doubtless be the case, the final
return of the fugitive will mark the
close of complicated case.
Raceivich one evening about
o clock went into little place in tho
disreputable part Of town and without
apparent provocation shot down a
messenger boy who was there. He
turned and fled and was seen no more.
Chief of Police Burke sent ont de-
scriptions broadcast which in Septem-
her of last year resulted in the notif-
cation to the authorities that Racei-
vich was under arrest in Juarez.
Along in October Sheriff Ferrel went
to Mexico to get the prisoner. Extra
dition papers were necessary and there
was vexatious delay. At the time
it was stated that influences in Reno
We're working to prevent the return
of the prisoner to this state, and that
they were at the bottom of the reluc-
tanee of the Mexican authorities to
deliver up the prisoner Finally there
was some evasive answer given out to
the effect that after certain period
of time and upon the payment of GER
tain sums, alleged to be legal, the
prisoner would be given up.
just about this time the revolution
froke out in Mexico and when Juarez
was in the limeight the prisoner es
eaped. This seemed to close the inc.
lent until the FL Paso authorities sent
vord that they could nab Receivich ir
Q was still wanted

veil as the rumors of opposition from
a powerful influence in Reno, the OUT

PREP airing FOR :
n. la. CONVENTION

! Backed by the active support Of ev-
cry railroad operating in the United
States and Canada in both publicity
campaign and in granting unprecedent-
ediy low rates over lines, the attend
ance at the forty-ninth annual conven-
tion of the National Educational as
sociation in San Francisco, July 8-14,
promises to be even greater than 5O,-
900, the figure fixed by convention
league officials.
An auxiliary campaign having az
it's object the securing of at least one
Pullman or tourist car party from .ev-
cry city, university and normal school
in America, has been inauguratd by
Prof. Jas. A. Barr, chairman Of pub
LEFTY and attendance of the National
Education association, and already 400
car PARTIES have been formed. In
dications point to as many more be-
fore the convention convenes.
Advance reservations at local ho-
tells even at this early date have, ac-
cording to hotel managers, been far
greater than ever before in local hotel
history. The Fairmont, Palace and st.
Francis, San Francisco three most
palatial hotels, are practically reserved
from the lst to the 18th Of July. Ma
tional and state headquarters win FIJI
two big hotels completely. Suits of
rooms have been engaged by every
state in the union and provinces in
Canada, something heretofore unknown
in the history of the association.
Smaller hotels report a big demand
for accommodations.
A feature of the convention will be
the great general reception to be ae-
corded teacher delegates by the local
hospitality committee. As a compli-
ment to Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, presi-
dent of the National Education asso-
citation, this committee Is composed
entirely of women. The most promi-
nent women from all parts of the
state are active in planning entertain
ment for the visitors. A banquet in
honor of Mrs. Young, at which 1900
guests will participate, has been ar
ranged and will be the climax to q
series of elaborate functions.
For the first time in the history Of
the association women educators will
share equally with men positions Of
prominence on the program of the
general sessions Of the convention.
President Young, the first woman
president of the National Education
association, has allotted seven of the
fourteen addresses of the FIVE generaa
sessions to women. The first general
session will be held at $3.50 o'cloek,
Monday, July 10th, in the Berkeley
Greek theater. William B. Pringfe,
chairman of the California executive
committee of the National Education
association, will preside and will in
troduce the governor of the state,
mayor of San Francisco and prominent
educators who will deliver addresses
of welcome to the pedagogues.

new RAILROAD
FOR HUMBOLDT

FOR some weeks past there has been
a quiet movement on foot looking to
the construction Of railroad from
some point on the line of the South
ern Pacific, probably Winnemucca. to
the Quinn river valley.
In Reno yesterday a prominent rail
road ofiicial stated to Silver State
representative that this line would
undoubtedly be commenced within
year, and that while the Southern Pa
enc was not the promoter, it would be
very close to the project. 1t was also
stated that the bulk of money for the
undertaking would probably be fur
nished by the Mormon church, which
was arranging to colonize the entire
Quinn river valley.
Story Partially Confirmed.
Il. r. Ellison, president of the Eli
con Ranching company, arrived in
town from Layton, Utah, this morning,
and when asked for confirmation of
the above story, replied:
understand that Salt Lake real
estate man named Duncan McVichie
has been engaged Off some time past in
promoting railroad from Winnemuc-
ca to the Quinn river valley, and that
he now states he has the bonds practi-
cally all disposed of. Whether or not
the Mormon church or Southern Pa
cific railway will be interested in the
venture, ! am not in a position to
state.
In regard to colonizing, there will
be nothing done this year The Eli
son Ranching company will shortly
begin experimenting for artesian wa
ter, and in addition will construct res
ervoirs for the conservation of the
waste spring waters. By another sea-
son we expect to be in position to sup
ply water for irrigation prposes to
the owners of land adjoining our prop
erty, but shall make no distinction be-
tween Mormon and Gentile.' -
