Tell me if you can why good people should work and toll and then pay trib- ute to this school of professionals, whose life Is more than a waste-for 1t ends in crime-and while we recall the Seriptural Injunction that tells us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. yet lest We forget please remember that the Creator an nouneed to man that he should earn his bread hy the sweat of his brow, and that he that will not work neither shall he eat.
 Why should an able bodied man be fed and clothed by others when the deserving working man that is contributing his parr for the uplift of our city tolls in sun and rain-often in physical pain-to support his family and himself?

AUSTRIA ANXIOUS
 FOR WAR 10 END
Made Against G0vernment-Cir-
 GUS Upsets Into River
By EMIL ANDRASSY

Vienna, March 23.-( Special. )-Aus-
 tria is particularly anxious that the Italo-Turkish war shall be brought to
 an end without delay. Spring is ap-
 preaching and with 1t ss almost certain
 10 come renewal of the troubles in
 Albania which may mean war through
 out the Balkans. Ii is known here that a number of conferences have been held
 between the rulers of the Balkan states,
 and that in all of them preparations are
 being made for trouble which it Is
 feared may not be longer delayed.
 Italy at this time does not desire q
 war which will mean the division of European powers, nor in fact, does any
 one of the great powers.
 I understand the ambassadors of Rus sia, England, Francs Germany and Austro- ngary will officially inquire from the Rome cabinet under what con- dltions Italy would be disposed to con
 clude peace with Turkey. At present.
 however It would be premature Q take
 an optimistic view of this step. The ob-
 iect for the moment is to obtain in- formation, and upon the results achieved will depend whether further steps shall be undertaken in Constanti- nope.
 The inquiry 10 be mace in Rome Is IfneTelN DGeDdTdlolNF DO lar the notes containing the respective inquiries to be addressed to the Italian cabinet have neither been formulatec nor presented, and the powers will not approach the porte until a reply has been received from Rome.
 At the moment there is no sure ground from which conclusions could be
 drawn as to the prospects of the success of the step which is cont tem plated by lfhn Ths. tu sists in including the porte to accept demands which might simply be less a loss of material power than of authori ty. even if Italy can be persuaded to build a golden bridge for the Ottoman retirement.
 The trouble in reaching a settlement will come from Turkey. An official tele- gram from Constantinopie states that the ottoman ambassadors have been Instructed to declare emphatically to the great powers that no agreement
 with Italy is possible on the basis of the Italian decree of generation. Seeing that the decree of annexation has been ratified by an enormous ma jority in the Italian chamber, and unani- mously by the senate. the attitude of Turkey would appear 10 exclude all prospects of peace in the near future. An appalling accident Is reported from Semlin on the Danube.

How to be Certain of
 Curing Constipation

Prejudice Is a hard thing to overcome, but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours, prejudice then be- comes your menace and you ought to lay 1t aside. This is said in the interest of people suffering from chronic consti- patton, and 1t Is worthy of their attention. In the opinion of legions of reliable American people the most stubborn con- stipation imaginable can be cured by Q brief use of pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. You may not have heard of 1t before, but do not doubt its merits on that account. or because 1t has not been blatantly ad- lvertised It has sold very successfully on word of mouth recommendation. Par ents are giving 1t to their children today who were given it by their parents, and 1t has been truthfully said that more drug lgists use 1t personally in their families than any other laxative.

DECISION GIVEN
IN FENCING CASE.
Court Finds that Golconda Cattle
Company Had No Intent to
Violate Statutes.

A decision of Importance to cattle
raisers of the state was rendered at
Carson City, April 81, by Judge Far
rington of the United States District
mt.il The suit brought by the gov
nl.ent against the Golconda Cat
tie ompan charging the illegal
fencing of federal lands. In the
courts opinion. no intention on the
part of the Golconda company to
violate the statutes was shown, and
no fines we're imposed, but 1t was
held that certain of the company's
fences, while enclosing government
lands, did not admit of sufficient &C
cess to the public domain and the
defendant company was given five
DAYS in which to enlarge the open
ings.
The defendant company had the
right to fence its own lands" said
Judge harrington, "but it must not

The courts findings that nine open

fences for the convenience of COM

the governments contention that
the company had used a long natural
barrier of rim rock to prevent the

RICH ORE STRIKE
IN MIDWAY NINE,

Great excitement prevailed in To-
nopah Monday, with the news that
a rich strike had been made in the
Midway mine. For several months
the company mas been running a
crosscut on the 600-foot level north
and west of the shaft, hoping that a
known ledge would be cut at that
depth. Last week the vein was en-
countered, and after prosecuting, 1t
measured twelve feet, throughout
which ~traversed a number of string
ers of ore, varying from four to
eight inches, all carrying good
values.
Tht foul inch stringer was picked
up and drifted on fifteen feet to the
west, where a body of high grade
ore, two feet wide, was opened up.
The same stringer was traced to the
east with the result that one foot of
ore. equally as rich, was broken into.
Values run well into picture values.
The new strike means much for
the Tonopah district, as the find was
made in new territory. near the cen
ter of the Midway property, and has
every indication of the opening up of
another great body of ore.
The formation is characteristic Of
the Mizpah, a trochyte.
