the dance and to many. others who have
witnessed this modern form of sensuous
gyration by male and female. under the
guise Of dancing. is finally tabooed by
Storey County.
The extent to which the young people
here have INDUCED ia this pastime is re-
sponsible for this action on the part Of
the authorities. prompted by frequent
complaints entered by the older folks
who have been shocked by its perform
ances, in which the youngest Of girls
have freely participated.
The Sheriff has just issued orders
that such dances must be stopped i'm
m~ediately, under the penalty Of the
revocation of the license of any hall in
which dancing takes place. This order
also prohibits such dances commonly
known as "moon light" dances. during
which the lights are turned low.
Another order announced by the
Sheriff, the outcome Of this reform in
dancing affairs of the county, is to the
effect that hereafter no girl under the
age of l6 years shall be permitted to ap-
pear upon the streets after 8 O'Clock p.
m. unaccompanied by either her parent
or guardian.
There is a great uproar coming from
the circles Of the young people, who

ADMINISTERS fATHERLY ADVICE
To People From the East Who Were
Overlooked By Foolkiller

Monday afternoon In the district
court room at Carson Judge Langan
dispensed some fatherly advice that 1t
is hoped will sink home and prevent q
young woman from becoming the wife
OF a convict.
It appears that q convict now confined
in the penitentiary named O. A. Nc
Oarthy opened mp q correspondence
school with matrimony in view. A
young woman in the East answered
his letters and came to this city. This
happened some months ago. She has
beer awaiting the release of the prison.
or in order to marry him. The mother
of the young woman is with her. The
two this morning asked the Judge for
q letter to the Board of Pardons in re-
lation TO a release Of this man that the
girl might marry him. As Judge Lam
gan sentenced him to 90 months for
forgery and studied his case, he knew
what he was talking about.
He advised this aged lady to take her
daughter as far away from MCCARTHY as
possible, and also advised the young
woman to avoid the marriage as she
would death.
His lecture, while it did not seem to
sink in as deep as it should. was most
timely and well meant. The girl and
woman are waiting here for the release
of this man, who has a bad record all
round. The Lunscy Commission should
take up this Ease and set the two mis-
guided women on the right trail.-Oar-

The above is corrected to meet the facts
in the case. New Mexico is generally
carried in this table as having but three
electoral votes, when as a matter of fact
it has four, and we have so credited it,
The total of the electoral vote is thus
raised from 531 to 532. and the electoral
vote necessary to choice from 266 to 267.
This is a matter of considerable inter-
est to everyone at this time, and we have
accordingly taken pains to check up and
get it right.-Salt Lake Tribune.
