NE WORKED NEW GAME

A very deeply plotted scheme
was Matched yesterday by a
stranger who was in need of silver.
The fellow went into a Second
street store and asked the pro-
pr ietor if he did not wish to buy a
knife, exhibiting a beautiful pearl
handled trinket. worth several dol
lars. "l'll sell you this for fifty
cents"
Its CO." the merchant re-
piled, ard produced the silver.
The stranger looked at the
money, then at the knife, sighed
sadly and, saying. 81 don't want to
part with it," started fer the door.
He evidently changed his mind,
for he returned and said: al
guess I'll have to take you up"
He pulled a knife out of his pocket,
pocketed the col and departed.
The merchant took one look 1t
his purchase and says that what he
rad bought was a five-cent imita-
ton of the real article, besides it
had no blades.
There was a merry chase for
nearly block until the fellow was
nverhauled. He was threatened
both a thrashng and arrest, which
caused him to return the money.
He may be trying the game in
other parts of the city.-Reno

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear There is only one way to
cure deafness. and that is by con-
titutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an irfamed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eusta chian
Tube. When this tube is inflamud
ynu have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing t

STRIKE BREAKERS
FOR SILVER PEAK

A carload of strii ebreakers, 81
in all. recruited by C. H. Rainier
of Goldfield to take the places of
the striking miners on the Silver
Peak properties at Blair passed
through Goldfield from Los Angeles
last night and reported for work
this morning.
The strikebreakers were re-
curited by Rainmer in and about
Los Angeles upon orders from
the Silver Peak company and it is
stated that number of them have
worked in the vicinity of the
Silver Peak properties before. On
the train from Goldfield. to Blair
was Charles Kielhaufer who was
deputized few days ago by Sheriff
Ingalls, regar ding the Blair situa
ton.
According to Sheriff Ingalls, the
striking miners are all moving out
of Blair and the hill was practically
deserted yesterday. A number of
the miners have come to Goldfeld
to take positions here while many
more have gone to California.
According to authentic informa-
ton no more strikebreakers will be
brought in, as the men secured in
Los Angeles are miners for the
most part and are insufficient in
numbers to successfully work the
Silver Peak properties. -Goldfield

GullOT luutpGHueHl -
Within the past few years the
Elko county high school has
certainly gone the limit in dis.
cipline and amusements aside from
their every day studies. Taking
all things into consideration a
certain amount of recreation is
needed but when a person figures
up the expense con ected with so
much ball playing, race track meet,
parties and suppers and to flavor it
all. dance after every engage
ment one needs quite a cattle
ranch TO keep things going.
Dancing connected with school
should not be allowed by the
principal or board of education.
Schools are for one purpose-the
education and training of the
youth and not their downfall in
keeping children out late hou
night, and sometimes or a o'clock
in the morning. This is not u
religious consideration, but a
matter for the parents and
teachers of Elko county to con.
slider.
Put some ideal up before the
children beside dancing and late
hours at night to satisfy their

A STATE FAMILY BIBLE

Kentucky is one Of the southern
states which has recently adopted
q modern liw for the registrat ion
of vital statistic, says the Journal
of the American Medical Asso cia-
ton. Put into force little over
a year ago it has been on trial.
AS usual. it encount cred opposi-
ton Some people were unable to
see why births and deaths should
be recorded; others did not like to
go to the trouble to make out an
orderly record of these occur
rences. Because Physicians and
medical organizations led the way
in securing this needed legislation,
it was, of course, regarded as
something for the benefit of physi-
clans rather than for the public
good. Shakespeare asked and so
have many philosophers since his
time-"What's in a manner" and
the wisest of these inquirers have
recognized the Importance of man,
ing a thing properly, if il is to
stand well in the public eye.
Eviedntly this fact is recogni zed
in Kentucky. The leading edi-
torial in the May l issue of the
Kentucky Medical Journal, under
the h aiding "Name the Babies, "
discusses some of the diff culties
encountered in putting the new
law into effect. In this connection
the editor philosnphically refers to
the State Bureau of Vital Stati-
sites as "Kentucky's Big Family
Bible A happier name could not
we'll be devised. When the people
of Kentucky understand that the
object Of birth registration is to
record the name and date of ar
rival of each little citizen of Ken
tn ky so that the state is simply
exercising the same care that
leads father to inscribe each
birth in the family Bible public
support of the meagsure will be
increased a2d assured.

There was a large attendance at

kept up until the the early hours
of this morning, when it ceased
