terday there was probably 80 tents
and seven or eight small buildings
scattered up and down Main street
and in the vicinity where now is
located Wonacott & Halls under.
taken parlors. A terrific wind
storm swept this desert section,
travelling sixty miles an hour. So
fierce was the gale that only two
tents remained standing. Many OF
the cloth houses we're whipped into
threads. About o'clock on the
morning of May | a heavy rain
began to fall and continued until
daylight. This storm caused all the
occupants of tents that had been
demolished by the heavy wind
storm to shelter in the saloons for
the night, many taking their bed
ding to the thirst emporium and
sleeping upon the floors.
This anniversary is always spoken
of as a wild night in Tonopah. :"
Many of the pioneers discussed the
event today in this city.

HIGH RENTS
A VERY SERIOUS
PROBLEM IN PARIS

WASHINGTON, May High
rents have become such a serious
problem in Paris that the muni-
cipality is considering the floating
of a large loan for the purchase of
vacant lots and the erection of
houses to be rented at a low rate
to the poorer classes. An Ameri-
can government agent there reports
that commission appointed to con-
slider the question has reported in
favor OF Paris borrowing $3S,909,-
600 TO carry out the enterprise,
II is proposed that the debt be Sc
cured by offering the rents and the
municipal budget as security.
The proceeds of the loan is to be
utilized for constructing dwellings
to be reserved in part for families
with more than three children less
than 16 years of age. 1t Is pro-
posed that rent schedules of the
partments shall not be lower than
the following:
Families of not more than three
children, four rooms. $77.20; three
rooms. $64.27; two rooms. $44.97
year Families of not more thar
three children, four rooms. $3.50
three rooms, $5597; two rooms
$34.75.
The rents are to be calculated il
such a manner as to insure annua
returns of $40 to per cent on tn
capital invested, including reprecia
tion, the rents varying according

PLAN O' HOUSE
 O' MAN, SIR'
A PLAIN LITTLE TALK ON HEALTH BY DR. J. c. MINOR OF
 THIS CITY.
Issued in Book Form, ProfuseIy Illus. trated, Is Attracting Considerable Attention and Promises Wide
 Popularity.

Plan Q House O Man. Sir" is the latest clever little book from the yer satile pen of Dr. J. c. Minor of this city, which is undoubtedly destined 10 attract even more attention than "I.il- tie Jed a book issued by Dr. Minor several years ago, because the book is published In the interest of human ity, directing how to avoid many of the ills which is so prevalent, such as appendicitis, indigestion, consti oa- ton and stomach and bladder troubles. 1 Dr. Minor claims in his book that if people will only follow the advice laid down for their guidance, life would not only be prolonged but there would be less sickness and better general health
 The Plan O the House O. Man, sir" is profusely illustrated and while written in plain and simple language, It shows it's author to be a clever and forceful writer. The first edition has almost been exhausted and hundreds of copies have been purchased by those living in other states from whom Dr. Minor has received dozens of vol untary letters thanking him for the simple advice contained in it which by following started them on the road to health again. It is indeed "a new book with absolutely a new idea" and so simple that children can under stand it. One prominent educator with national reputation thinks that the book should be placed and taught in the public schools of the country.
 Dr. Minor has received so many complimentary letters from prominent people all over the country that he will place a limited number of copies on sale in the large cities of the country at prominent book stores. where it will retail at $l. Weaver's book store of this city has received the exclusive sale of this valuable book which should be in every home. Already the sale of the book is beyond his ex- pectations and it is very probable that Dr. Minor will be compelled to issue another edition soon.
 Dr. Minor is being congratulated by friends here upon the success of the Plan O the House O Man, Sir"
