soon to regulate the liquor traffic
in this State. a move will be made
toward prohibition.
Governor Oddie seems to be
greatly d~ispleased with Warden
Baker. but his actions, do not bear
out his words. He made a COM
bination with Cleve Baker, the at
torney general elected on the
democrat ticket, and put Ray
Baker in the w~ardenship. Now he
refuses to combine with George
Brodigan, the democratic secre-
tary of state, to Gust Baker and
put in a competent warden, he
cause Brodigan will not vote for a
republican warden. Governor
Oddie's action in the wardenship
matter bellies bis words. The
prison board is democratic and
Brudigan is right in the stand he
takes. He voted against the ap-
pointment Of Baker
A rancher from the Carson
river, below Dayton, was in
Virginia City Wednesday and
stated that potatoes are now bring
ing a very high price. A buyer
from a California jCbber was in
that se2tion recently and contracted
for several carloads at $40 per
ton this being the highest price
brought in many wears. Some of
the ranchers disposed of the last
of their spud crop last week at $35
per ton, and are therefore con-
siderably disappointed that they
did not wait a week. There are
very few potatoes left around
Dayton and the scarcity around
Sacramento is said to be the most
acute in a long time.
The pure food beard has decided
tentatively the question What is
beer and their decision is likely
to start a lively controversy, stir
up the brewers and please the
barely growers of the middle west
and the man who is curious TO
know just what he is drinking.
The pure food board acting under
direction OF. Secretary of AEri.
culture Wilson more than a year
ago set out 10 find what beer is.
After giving hearings to the
brewers, barely growers and rep
rssentatives of the National Con-
sumers' League it has reached a
conclusion. The conclusion is in
brief: Beer is a beverage made
up of barley, malt and hops. yeast
and potable water"
Mrs. R. L. Douglas suffered
painful, though not serious hurns
Friday evening, while using gaso-
line in cleaning a garment at her
home south Of town. The blaze,
which resulted in Mrs. Douglas
injuries was the result of gas
created ny rubbing the garm ent
with a saturated cloth, the ignition
coming from a candle some feet
from where the liquid was being
used. A 5.gallon can full to the top
sitting near was quickly ignitcd
and though Mrs. Duglass' clothes
were already on fire she managed
to carry the can to the porch door
and throw it in the yard before it
exploded, thus saving the home
from the flames. Before Mrs
Douglass had rid herself Of her
burning dress, she had suffered
painful burns on both arms and
her body. Mr.. Douglss was in the
field with his far m crew irriGating
newly seeded wheat at the time Of
the accident, while the three
children were asleep in their beds.
1t can be imagined Row much
more serious the accident might
have been had it not been for the
lady's ability to act quickly

In South Dakota's presidential
primary last Tuesday, La Toilette
walloped the New York buffer by
over 1000 majority. Teddy will
now have to include the progress
sive republicans of South Dakota
in his already large class of un-
desirable citizens. The Roosevelt
buffers try to explain their defeat
by claiming that democrats voted
FIR La Toilette at the primary.
Of course. this will do for an
excuse but it will not fool any
body.
John Meyers, one of the best
known residents of Western
Nevada. was found dead in a room
at the rea of his place of business
in Carson Tuesday morning death
being due 90 heart disease. 1t is
supposed that when he started to
bed he had a lighted candle in his
hand and when he fell his hand
dropped across and on top of the
candle. The mattress caught fire
and his left hand was burned 10 a
crisp and his hip was also burned.
The mattress was smouldering
when his nephew and another man
found him.
The case of E. A. P. Johnson
and others against A. w. Sewall
promises to be a long drawn out
affair. Judge Averill began the
hearing Tuesday forenoon and
from that time until noon today
the time has been consumed in
an effort of the plaintiff to prevent
the defense from filing an amended
answer. Judge Averill admitted
the amended answer this forenoon
and this afternoon the plaintiff
came back with a demurrer,
alleging several grounds why the
amended should be stricken out.
The suit is over the Midas town
site.

MODELLING, was yesterday presented to
the Rock River Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in session
in Chicago. Holding funerals on
Sunday was deplored for the reason
that at makes public occasion Of a
distinctly private matter" The re-
port states that baseball is a mag
nificent game, but when played on
Sunday it is an insult to Almighty
God. "Junketing through the country
in a motor car on Sunday" says the
report, "injures the influence of the
church and lowers the tone Of Sab
bath observance"

Watson Gains Twenty Votes.

Petersburg, Va, Oct. cat 2 o'clock
: Yesterday afternoon the committee
had not quite finished the recount.
There are many challenges of bal
lots on both sides which are to be
considered as soon as the recount is
finished.
There are five challenges from Sur
ry and six or eight from Mecklenburg,
in addition to a score or more filed
at the morning session, and no an
nouncement of the result will be made
until these challenges are passed
upon. Some of them will be found
immaterial.
Apparently the recount so far
shows a gain of between fifteen and
twenty for Watson. He gained six
in Brunswick and lost one in Motto
way.
The committee will probably hold
another meeting this week in order
to give Judge Watson time to pre-
pare his answer to Mr. TurnbulPs
petition and to give time for the con-
test to be carrie if necessary to the
state central committee.
