pupils to do right and difficult for
them to do wrong, so that right
conduct may become the habit
with our pupils.
Among some of the results from
the construction of the school
buildings here, we notice the better
health, better scholarship and hap
py and contented children and also
teachers. When Frank +. Bunker,
city superintendent of the Berkeley,
Cal, schools, and one of the ablest
schoolmen of that state was here as
instructor in the institute, which
convened last November, he stated
publicly that California would have
to look to her laurels to keep pace
with the things that were being
done educatlonally here in Nevada:

FORMER CENTRAL WOMAN
-o,, DIES IN GRAND JUNCTION,

Brooding over trouble with her al
legged common-law husband, Lizzie
Noyes, recent arrival from Central
City. drank whisky and dope until
she died at the home of friend,
Jennie Geiser, just west of the Book
Cliff tracks. last night at 8 o'clock.
after having been in a sort of stupor
for more than "a hours. According
to Jennie Geiser. who is also known
as Lucille Smith, the dead woman
had secured some kind of dope to
drown her troubles. The man, who
deserted her, is the fourth one .she
had called husband. Lizzie Noyes
I lived near the Geiser woman's home
In sordid hut, with every evil
dence of abject poverty and misery,
the undertakers and authorities
found the body of the Noye's woman
on the bed, with half-consumed
bottle of whisky lying beside her.
Mrs. Geiser. who claims to be very
i'll, was with the dead body. and
told rather incoherent story of the
affair, insisting that the woman had
died in a doped stupor. She denies
knowledge Of what kind of dope had
been used or where 1t was secured.
The body was Identified by C. l..
Crosson of Denver, who was an arri-
val in the city Tuesday to attend
the Rehkugler murder trial. He
claims to have known the Noyes
woman when she was in school at
Central City. Mrs. Noyes was 26
years old; had borne two children.
both dead, and her history had been
one of sadness and disappointments.
Her aged grandmother, Agnes Nc
Callister of Contra, City, has been
notified TO the death, but the. burial
will probably be made here in the
potters' field.-Grand Junction Senti-

THE PIONEER SHOW.

Man in his primitive state is as
simple as child and any little
amusement will satisfy him. 1t must
have been as early as 1863 that
George Hawk and Nick Nuckols built
the Montana theater, the first place
of amusement at Central City. 1t was
a board structure as rough as a
corduroy road but the joyous well
come within made ample amends for
its untidy exterior as 1t stood there
at Main and Water streets opposite
Clare and Gruber's branch mint.
The talent at the opening of this
unpretentious place of Thespian's de-
light was supplied by Ed Chase's va
riety theater on Blake street in Den
Yer and consisted of George Chap
dEan's famous pioneer orchestra of
three whole pieces, including the lit
tie old melodion which the sawed-off
Dutchman played, and the following
array of talented vaudeville artists:
Billy Baker, the man of Agar, six
iSCt lWO, WuOct specially WIS 70 Ue
placed in a champagne case no Ion
ger than valise and from which he
disappeared a minute later Then
there was the kid, Billy Blake, Jr.,
who did jigs and was smart enough
at that. Kitty INITIAL. the daughter
Of Baker, and husband Billy INITIAL
did passable song and dance.
Another team of married folks was
John Wheeler and his wife who with
their son Bennie, made a whole show
in themselves. Charley Christy play
ed the banjo, Tom Duncan ratified the
bones and Jim Foley scraped off a
clog SO they all in combination made
troupe that chased the ghost from
the floor and gave the rough-necks
a lot of innocent amusement for
dollar a throw and no return checks
when the boys sifted out between
acts to get beasler. Pat Casey, who
was connossieur on all matters the
atrical, used to say that 1t passed
for the best show on earth.-Denver

in which to locate as it was turning
out large tonnage of gold ores, en-
ployed hundreds of men and by the

local paper he had been subscribing

be lots of room for several lines of
business. He took 1t that most of
the inhabitants are compelled to send
out of town for their necessities. As
he stated to US he assumed that
there was dearth OF gents furnish
ing stores, no meat markets, no bak-
cries, no hotels, no rooming houses,
no restaurants. no blacksmith shops,
no drug stores, no doctors or den

THE IRON CROSS OF ST. nELENA
"a True Historical lncident.)
BY Charles stedman Ripley.

BY Charles Stedman Ripley.
On the rocks of st. Helena,
Facing outward to the sea,
And high up above the breakers
Stands cross that all can see;
Wrought of iron-firm implanted
Now, one hundred years ago
Marks this cross against the skyline
A grave in the sea below.
Many days at st. Helena,
Z Lay the British station Ship"
Idly riding to her anchors s-s5s
I Chains in readiness to slip:sa fllris
In those days, be it remembered,
England ruled the sea by might, II
And the duty of this guard ship
Was to guard-to watch-to fight.
Then one day to st. Helena,
Came another British ship ~
Heavy armed on double gun-decks-s
And with orders to transmit, an
Orders to the frigate lying, -a4,,r -t
Riding to her scopes of chain,
Orders to return to England e
Orders home! once more again.!
On the rocks of st. Helena, s
Facing outward to the sea, sl
Where now stands the cross of iron,
q Stood a maid, and fair was she;
Long she watched the British frigate,
Squared away for England's shore
And her thoughts were of a lover,

Then these words rang clear and

Over sea and over land t'"
Fare ye we'll! my sailor lover!

From the rocks of St. Helena,
Hanging out beyond the shore,

Through thousand feet or more;
"God forgive me and my lover!"
To the God above she cried,
Then through space into the ocean.
Fell the MAZDA suicide.
To the shores Of st. Helena,
Came In after years a fleet,
With an admiral commanding
All the ships so trim and neat;
And this iron cross he planted
On the rocks SO high above, 'i'
To the mem'ry of sweetheart

er stouty DENYING his guilt and Great
ing general belief as tohis absolute
innocence, George E. Huffman, postal
clerk who has been on trial In the
federal court here since Wednesday,
broke down and admitted that he stole
the 100000 registered package from
the mails here on the morning Of Oc-
tober g. Shortly afterward Huffman
was sentenced to three and a half
years at hard labor in the federal
prison at Atlanta. In passing sen
tence Judge Mcdowell said that it
! would be increased If the money was
not returned to the government. Huff
man was sent to the city Jail, where
he will be held until the money is in
possession of the government.
Mother Grief-stricken.
The grief of the mother of the self
confessed robber was pitiful, for she
believed him innocent until she could
no longer do so. When he confessed
in one OF the consolidation rooms,
where he was in conference with all OF
his attorneys, the woman broke down,
and her sobs could be heard through
out the court house. At the time the
mother gave way Huftnan's wife left
the building. She had been apprised
of what was coming and she quietly
left and went to her room at the hotel.
There. two hours later, Mrs. Huff
man delivered to Inspector Mosby her
husbands grip, wherein was found
81, 700 in twenty-dollar bills. At II
O'Clock court renconvened and the plea
was changed to guilty. Lee and Caskie,
his counsel, made strong pleas for
leniency. The government did not ask
for the maximum, but District Attor
ney Gillespie thought the sentence
should be severe.
