JUST SOME THOUGHTS

Inc granoJury report will be
found elsewhere. That part of it
relating to county board of
health is all right if Elko county
had that kind of a board. We
shall now expect to see the SIX dep
uty health officers end DR.. West
scurryng about the county. clean
ing up garbage heaps from the
back doors of hotels and restau-
rants, hauling the disease breeding
rubbish from alleys and streets and
pulling down the old shacks that
ARE dangerous to the health and
lives Of our citizens.
But il they do this, will they
have time to report The deaths and
births for which they draw $l15 a
month, 10 the county recorder to
be filed away? We are afraid those
valuable reports will be lost to the
people, il these health officers
spend their time in cleaning up
towns and pulling down old shacks,
which are no part of their duties
under the law by which they draw
salaries fro the county treasury.
OF course the commissioners are
happy over the endorsement of the
grand jury for giving $l15 per
month to seven physicians for re.
porting deaths and births. II il
extremely doubtful if fifteen men
familiar with the facts, outside OF
the fifteen grand jurors, can he
found in the county who indorse
the action Of the commissioners or
that part of the report of the
grand jury.
The grand jury speaks in no I'M
certain tones regarding gambling.
That part Of the report we most
heartily endorse.
The portion relating 60 tie vast
amount of real estate in the count,
that has escaped taxation is a rev.
citation. If it is correct, it SEEM
to US that the assessor has beer
very negligent or the county has {
large number of perjured taxpay
ers. 1t may be case of you tickl,
me and ri tickle you. The chart
table view of the matter is tina
taken by the grand jury, and i
may be the proper view. There
ought to be some method b.
which these tax dodgers could n
punished. They certainly lied t
the assessor il the report Of tht
grand jury be taken for what i
says.
The abstract, recommended by
the jury, should be made.

Jeanerette, La, June 6.-It is
alleged that the late +. ). DO

First National Bank Of Jeane-
rette. was short ip his accounts to
the amount Of $13,8O0. The al.
legged shortage was discovered
some time after his death. and a
thorough Investigation OF the
books and business Of the bank
was called for. It Is stated that
this amount has been charged off,
but as soon a. settlement can be
had with the American Surety
Company of New York. which
furnished his bond for $4,000, and
further settlement can be had with
his estate, upon the collection q
his life insurance Of $4,000 and
such other recourse as may o.
had upon the remainder OF his

Two strangers met at one or
the small tables in a dining car
They found a common bond in the
effort to secure something to eat
and by the time the coffee came
they were on friendly terms.
II wonder if you will do me Q
favor?" said the first one, as ne
paid his bill. The other man
seemed receptive, and the first
one continued. "Have you a
lower berth for tonight" The
man across the table nodded
"Wel, l am travelling with my
mother who is rather well along
in life, and l am anxious to make
her comfortable. Would you bt

oByAcr LESSON IN CORN.

Although local farmers COM
plain that the protracted dry
spell in this section of Louisiana
during the past six week is caus-
ing their corn to suffer, it is new
ertheless a fact that the corn on
the Industrial Institute demon
stration farm shows remarkable
degree of freshness. cool green
healthy color, and unretarded
growth; and, unless the season
should grow very much worse, Il
is probable that the Institute
crop will be entirely uninjured
Prof. Lee, of the Institute fac
ulty, in charge of this depart
ment, attributes this CONDITION
chiefly to shallow cultivation
avoiding the destruction OF th'
important laterab root system
i between the rows and near tn
surface Of the ground. Nearly al
the farmers of this section hav
the habit of cultivating with
turning plow. which, in PRO-
Lees opinion, "does more damag
to q corn crp in a single day tina
the weeds would do in q month !!

the loss of the vessel.
That the destruction of the
Maine was the eliminating event
wrieh led to the war with Spain
in 1893 everybody will now ad-
init. Had # not been for this
tragedy it is more than probable
that the war would not have TAX

Spain with regard to Cuba would
have been arranged. At the time

! minds Of people in this countr,
and made peaceable termina
ton of the controversy impossible
Immediately after the destruc
ton of the ship a formal court o.
inquiry inspected the wreck anC
investigated all the surrounding
conditiofSs- The finding Of the
court that the ship was destroyed
by some outside agency was gen.
orally accepted at the time by the
people of the United States. as il
the then state of the public mind
judicial consideration of all the
circumstances was hardly to be
expected. With the passage of
time. however, many have come
to doubt the claim that the Maine
was destroyed by treachery or by
any outside agency, and Admiral
Melville, in his temperate and ad-
mirably written article, advances
many reasons for the belief that
the ships own magazine was the
cause Of the terrible havoc
wrought.
Now that it will shortly be pos
sible to set at rest all doubt on
this interesting subject it is to b.
hoped that no pains will be spared
determine the exact cause of the
catastrophe. If it can be shown,
as many believe, that the Span
ish officials had nothing to do with
the destruction Of the Maine and
that the terrible affair was an ac-
cldent. pure and simple. generous
hearted Americans will rejoice
that so gallant and chivalrous a
nation as the Spanish has been re
lieved from the stigma that would
inevitably attach to so terrible a
deed. if it were, indeed, true thai
the Maine had been destroyed by
treachery.

blood has not suffi-
cient nourisiing power with which
to stimulate the place. External
applications cannot cure an old
sore. because such treatment does
not affect the blood; the most that
can be expected from plasters,
washes, salves, etc. is cleansing,
soothing effect on the ulcer.
S. S. S. heals old sores in
perfectly natural way. It goes
down into the blood, and removes
the impurities and morbid matters
that are the means of keeping the
ulcer open; then the sore is bound
to heal. S. S. S. is the greatest of
all blood purifiers, and not only
does it cleanse the circulation, but
it restores the healing, plasmic
qualities and aids in promoting
every necessary quality for good
health. S. S. S. builds new flesh

MADERO'S INGRATITUDE.
seems more versed

MaderO seems more ve1sed
ways Of war than peace. From
word of mouth we learn some
thing which puts serious phase
on the reported revolution against
Madero. A soldier Of fortune,
who has been fighting with Mad
ero for several months, an Ameri-
can and a newspaper man, has
worked his way back into the
United States and has reached
Beaumont. He says that Madero
turned his back on the great force
of Americans who were so effec-
tive in helping him defeat the
Mexican government. This man
is very bitter toward Madero and
declares that two-thirds OF Mad
eros army is sore and disappoint-
ed over Madero's ingratitude.
They declare that when the war
ended the revolutionary leader
actually set his army adrift with
out SO much as thank you. Some
of his best fighters were turned
away without money enough to
nhnAkuto- the United States. In
hpgs worse than any
+ world. and we are
told that the great bulk Of the
Americans who stood by Madero
in the time of his greatest peril are
greatly hurt by his ungracious at
titude. It is said that Jack Lon
don and couple Of other Ameri-
cans in Lower California have or
ganized an army which will be
heard from later, and there is
grave danger that the revolt there
will assume serious form in short
while. If the American soldiers
of fortune combine and utilize the
Mexican's native love for fighting
there will be revolution in Mex
leo which will be quick and de-
cisive. and Madero and his govern
ment itself will be wiped out in

THE BLOWING OF THE MAINE

i Now that there is a fair pros
,pect that the wreck of the old bat
tleship Maine will be soon uncov-
cred so as to render a minute and
thorough investigation of her con-
dbtion possible, interest has re-
vived in the old controversy as to
whether or not the ship was des-
troyed by some outside agency.
due to treachery, or was blown
up by an internal explosion. In
the June number of the North
American Review there is an art
icle by Rear Admiral Melville,

that the Maine was destroyed by

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is an average
man,
Not built on any peculiar plan
Not blessed with any peculiar
luck;
Just steady and earnest and full
of pluck,
When asked a question he does
not guess;
He knows. and answers no" or
eyes"
When set task that the rest
can't do
He buckles down till he's put it
through.
Three things he's learned-that
the one who tries
Finds favor in his employers
eyes:
That it pays to know more than
one thing well;
That it doesn't pay all heknows
to tell.
So he works and waits. till one
day.
There's a better job with bigger
pay.
And the men who shirked when-
ever they could
Are bossed by the man whose
work made good.
For the man who wins is the man
who works,
Who neither labor nor trouble
shirks;
Who uses his hands. his head, his
eyes. .IvsjS
The man who wins is the man
who tries.
