HUNTSVILLE VOTES
 ON BOND ISSUE An Important City Election Takes Place Today
INGRAM IS ARRESTED
Prohibitionists Prepare to Fight Any Attempt to Return the Sale of Liquor to Huntsville-"Ab-
 ingdon Place" Sold

huntsville, April So.-(Special )-The voters of Huntsville will vote on a proposition tomorrow whether the city shall issue bonds in the sum of s1O0,- 000 for municipal building which will include a hotel of 100 rooms and all necessary municipal offices. The prop csition is one of great importance to the business interests of Huntsville be- cause it appears to be the only way to provide the city with adequate hotel accommoda tions. Hotel facilities here are very much overtaxed and the city is losing business because of that con- dition. The plan ty which the city Is to build the hotel, shou.d the bond is- sue carry, provides that the income shall be sufficient to pay interest and accumulate a surplus that would pay off the bonus within 16 years.

MORE STATE PRISON REFORM
Warden Baker Has Abolished the Use
of Condemned Cells

Reno Journal: Among the few re-
forms carried out by Warden Ray
Baker at the State penitentiary is the
abolishment Of the solitary confinement
Of prisoners In the condemned cells.
This order was issued by Baker some
time ago, and now the prisoners under
death sentence are confined to an in
closed yard, within the main enclosure,
during the daytime. However, the
men are returned to the condemned
cells at night.
This reform was brought about by
the warden's observations of the con-
ditions OF the men who are under the
death sentence. Peart, who was sent
up from the eastern part of the State
some time ago, was confined in the con-
demned cell for II months until his
sentence was commuted to life i'm
prisonment. Peart is now a physical
wreck and has been placed on the
prison farm where he will receive
plenty of outdoor exercise. Mangana
was also confined in the same cells for
II months. He is still under a death
sentence for the murder of a saloon
keeper in the southern part of Nye
County. the crime having been COM
mitted nearly three years ago.
Casey, the Golifield murderer, spent
about the same time under like con-
ditions.
1t is the intention of Warden Baker
to keep the prisoners under death SEN
tence separate from the others, and
only place the death watch over men
for about two weeks preceding the date
Of execution.

DeLamar About Deserted

DeLamar, once one of the most pros
porous mining camps in Nevada, and
one Of the leading towns Of Lincoln
County, is now nearly depopulated.
Its population has dwindled to such
small number that the Post Office De-
partment has ordered the Post Office
there discontinued, and in the future
the people who still cling to the old
town will have to get their mail either
at Pioche or Caliente.

OUR ARMY'S MARVELLOUS
VICTORY ON THE BORDER

That the American army OF 200
men on the Mexican border has achieved
a remarkable victory was shown by
President Tat in his speech at Phila.
delphia last week. The enemy in this
case was typhoid fever. which infected
nine-tenths of the volunteers in the
Spanish American war. In the regular
army the proportion was far less, but
yet there were many cases and not a
few deaths.
The glorious victory on the Mexican
border was exhibited in the Presidents
statement that among 5000 men en-
camped for two months in a wet coun-
try there has been but one case of ty-
phoid and little other sickness of any
sort.
The chief reason for this wonderful
record is the preventive vaccination Of
officers and men against typhoid. T. .
substance used is an anti-toxin VIII IN
gives practical immunity, and is itself
free from danger. The discovery OF
this means OF prevention is Of untold
value to humanity, especially to armies
in the field. where the water supply
may often be infected with the germs
Of typhoid.
The fact that typhoid fever is due to
certain germ which multiples enor'
mously in the intestiaes. and other
parts of the system, has long been
known, but the serum or vaccine
method of prevention is comparatively
new. 1t is one of the things that il.
lustrate the wonderful progress the
medical profession has been making Of
late years, thanks to the use OF the
microscope, the development of the
science Of bacteriology. and to animal
experimentation.

WHITE SLAvERS WORK IN ELkO
Grand Jury Recommends Investiga alton
of Traffic In Young Girls

That the white slave traffic is being
carried on in the town of Elko is in
dicated by part of the report Of the Elko
County Grand Jury, presented last
week, as follows:
'It having been brought to the atten-
tion Of the grand jury that women in
the town Of Elko, who make pretentions
Of responsibility, are in reality using
their position and influence for the pur.
pose of immortality by inducing young
girls to meet and associate with unde.
sirable male persons with the avowed
intention of ultimately leading such
young girls astray, the members of the
grand jury deem it their duty to call the
matter to the attention of the Court. If
this condition exists, we deem it Of the
utmost importance that the peace Of
ficers thoroughly investigate the matter.
aud. il legal evidence can be obtained
against any person concerned in this
nefarious practice of corrupting the
morals of young girls. we assure such
officers of the undivided support of the
entire county in dealing out punish
ment to the offenders.
