VETERAN or BOER WAR
SETTLES IN THIS STATE

Paul Joubert. relative Of General
Pet Joubert Of Boer war fame, has
come to Winnemucca about a
month ago, purchasing from the
U. S. A. Contraction company
what is known as the Hockenb rock
ranch in the lower part of town,
upon which he is nov living.
Although still young, apparently
in the sos, Mr.. Joubert is a
veteran of two wars. He first
engaged in the Matabilla war in
1896, when that race of natives
took up arms against the South
African colonies. Shortly after
this insurrection had been sup
pressed he was called to arms to
defend his country against the
British lion.
He fought for about two years,
with the result that is now history
His uncle, General Piet JouDert,
under whose command he enlisted,
was one of the distinguished com
manders on the Boer side who
de6ed capture and the bullets of
the emmy only to be killed by being
thrown from his Nurse.
Mr.. Joubert states that South
Africa is much more prosperous at
present than before the war, but
does not credit this fact to
the British rule. For many years
prior to the beginning of actual
hostilities the people were living
in anticipation Of war, devoting
much of their time in preparation
for that event, instead of attending
to their business affairs.
According to Mr.. Joubert, with
the exception of the Orange Free
State and Rhudesia, climate and
general conditions in the South
African colonies are similar to
those here in Nevada. The soil is
fertile but irrigation is necessary
to insure good crops, except in the
two colonies mentioned, where the
precipitation is suffic ient to meet
all requirements Silver State.

ACCEPTANCE OF WINGFIELD
HINGES ON CONVENTION

Many arc wondering why George
Wingfeld has not decided as to the
acceptance of the Senatorship,
which was rendered him by Cover.
nor Oddie last week. He sent u
letter to the Governor stating that
he wished time to consider the
meter to consult his other in
terests and see if it we're possible
to serve his many business ventures
in connection with the high honor.
The appointment apparently rested
at that point. Now another story
is out.
1t appears that Mr.. Wingfield
has stated emphatically that he
would decline the Senatorship If
Roosevelt received. the nomination
He would accept if Taft receives
the nomination or some other clean
cut republican. In other words it
hangs at that point. The matter
can be decided within tho next
twenty-fouI hours.
Then another bit of news came
to hand. 1t is stated that in case
of Mr.. Wingfield declining the
honor that Judge Massey was ten
dered the appointment, O. it has
been made known that he would
be the man on the job. Naturally
the Governor does not discuss this
at large but undoubtedly this is
the program. Judge Massey is a
staedfast and reliable republican,
one of the old school and one whu
knows every turn and trick of the
game. He is as we'll fitted for the
place as any man mentioned in tn,
long list that has been sent on:
since the day Senator Nixon died.
1t is another move IN the game Of
political Chess Carson Appeal.

A LITTLE PLEASANTLY

Public life is not without its
pleas.ntrieB. of course, says the
Springfield Republican, as was
instanced re"ently2 when Senator
Lodge and Colonel Bryan met ir
the lobby of the senate.
Hello! SENATOR" said the
Nebraskan, shaking the hands OF
the Massachusetts man. 81 see we
are rivals" continued the colonel
"How so?" asked the senator
"You are being mentioned as q
mighty good dark horse for the
Chicago convention. You know
have had mention that way" said
Colonel Bryan.
81 am so dark" answered the
senator, that | am mentioned
only in London. But tell you
your chances for being nominated
at Chicago are better than mine. "
Both men laughed.
but there is one thing about
this Republican fight do not like"
said the colonel. "They are stand
ardizing me in no flattering man.
ner: The Roosevelt people say
that they will vote for Bryan be.
fore they will vote for Taft, and
the taft people say they will vote
for Bryan before they will vote
for Roosevelt. Now that is not
the kind of standard I'D like to be"
1T might be one way Of getting
elected replied Senator Lodge,
with a fine thrust.

AVOID TIL MAN THAT SNEERS
Whole Existence Spoiled FOR Unfortu-

individual.

How would you like to be tied for
life to a snake whose fangs slowly
poisoned your blood, though it is not
avewedly dangerous?
Silly question, say you?
Cleopatra with her asp-which they
say is only a myth these days-is no
surer of extinction than is the whole
some woman who marries man who
sneers.
So often this sneer is hidden under
polished exterior. The girl does not
ut first realize the sting. She calls
her lover critical or particular, or per.
haps thinks his cynicism a sign of
breeding or great intellectually.
She begins by needing that sneer
first in trifles such as behavior or
dress; later it gets in its deadly pol.
son on ideals and principles.
1t takes brave woman and an ex.
ceptionally strong-minded one to
stand out against the cynicism of the
man she loves. Unconsciously she is
Influenced. Before she realizes the
deadly influence her whole view Of life
is changed. A girl of sweet nature
but not too much brilliancy, married
TO a sneerer, becomes nothing more
than faint record Of his warped
vision. She may start out trusting
unsuspicious, loving, but life with the
sneerer leads her to wonder If there
is such a thing as honor and truth and
goodness in this bad world.-Ex

ROOSEVELTS SOON BUSTED

thursdays reports from Chicago
indicate that Roosevelt is up
against very hard proposition.
FailiLg to control the convention
by his fraudulent contests and bis
brag and buster. he now threatens
to bolt and start a new party. At
last reports. histories were badly
disorganized and all sorts of
runners were floating around
among The excited delegates.
A careful count Of his loyal
followers showed only ia that
would follow him on a bolt.
Among these are some of the most
notorious and corrupt political
Bosses in the country. The TAFT
men are sticking close to their
leader and claim that his nomina-
ton is sure.
The fight is now conferred in
the credentials committee. If that
committee fails to do Roosevelt
bidding and unseat 90 delegates
seated by the national committee,
it looks very much as if the follow.

would obey his orders and leave

A GREWSOME FIND

A grewsome fad is reported this
afternoon from the Concordia-
Mexican mine in the Seven-mile
canyon where the bones and skull
Of a.human being were uncovered
at the bottom of the shaft, fully
100 feet from the surface. There
was nothing whatever about the
remains that would lead to an
Identification of the dead man, a
chain of beads beng about the
neck, some remains of clothing
beng found and portions of the
scalp and hair remaining on the
skull. Superint ndent Pearce, who
was up town when the remains
were discovered, was notified and
with Coroner James Quirk left for
the mine late this afternoon.
Who the unfortunate man was
will undoubtedly remain a mytery
for all time, and all the old-timers
who knew IF the discovery, were
racking their brains this afternoon
to recall twenty or thirty years
ago, for tina; is the least time that
the body must have rema ned at
the place where found. 1t is only
recently that work has been re-
sumed on the claim which has been
held for years by William Pearce,
and when work was taken up re
opening the shaft it was found
closed tight at the 40.foot point.
Since that time the shaft has been
reOpened 60 feet. and today in re-
moving the accumulated debris
and dirt that has washed in from
the hills, the bones we're found az
stated above.
1t was impossible to tell whether
the bones are those of q white man
or of an Indian. and some believe
that possibly a murder was com.
mltted. Or it is possible, that
someone in walking across the
hills fell into the shaft. and perish.
ed, being far from a frequented
locality. Further light may be
thrown on the mystery as investi
cations are made.
1t was stated this afternoon BY
a resident of Sixmile canyon that
years ago mill-man, name not re.
called, who ran a plant in the
canyon, went to Virginia one
night. and disappeared, not having
been heard form since. 1t may be
that the bones discovered today
will clear up the mystery.
A further examination this after
noon of the heads and remnants OF
a blanket, leads to the conclusion
that the remains are those of ar
Indian. - Virginia Chronicle.

MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED.
Situation Improved, but Further Work
Is Needed to Stamp Out
Tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi, Ne.
gada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized, there were 20
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives exist
ed, and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only 10000.
While these figures would indicate
a remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary OF the
National association in commenting
on the subject, there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one OF the 10000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words
we have from 100000 to 100000 con-
sumptives in this country too poor to-
provide hospital care for themselves.
If tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out III the United States,
more hospital provision for these foes
of infection must be provided"

how the eyes of the Spaniards gift
tered at sight of the yellow metal and
how they quarreled over 1t.
At once Balboa fitted up an expedi-
ton to cross the mountains to the
land of gold. With him he took 200
men and a pack of savage dogs, which
should attack unfriendly Indians.
Balboa called the new ocean the
South sea, because he was looking
toward the south when first he saw
it. But he and his followers, though
they had discovered new ocean,
failed to find the land of gold for
which they had set out. He then re-
turned to Darien and sent word to
the Spanish king of the great discOv-
cry which he had made. Then he
caused for small ships to be taken
apart and carried across the noun
tains, believing that somewhere on the
other side of the new ocean lay the
Ell Dorado. These vessels were set up
again and launched, the first European
ships to dip keel in the great South
sea. But before Balboa had equipped
them fully and put out to sea his enc
mics, hurrying across the isthmus,
captured him. accusing him of plots
against the king. There was no evil
dence Of any such plotting on Balobo's
part, but those were iawless times,
and the men of Darien were jealous
of Balboa. In less than "a hours he
was tried, found guilty. condemned to
death and beheaded.
