The Cincinnati Enquirer sr.s
that the intermarriage of &segross
and whites in that city Is increas-
ing at an alarming rate. It publishes
list of most recent of such mar
riages and it is interesting to note
that, without exception, negro men
have married white women There
is not a white man or negro woman
in the list. This awful condition is
the inevitable result of mixed
schools and the absence of laws
preventing intermarriage Of whites
and blacks. There is something rad
ically wrong with State that will
permit such a disgraceful and de-
generating condition to continue.

STOMA( H DISTRESS
 ... AND DYSPEPSIA 60
Heartburn, Gas and Indigestion Go Five Minutes After Taking
 Pape's Diapepsin.

As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of In- digestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy.
 This harmless blessing win digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome } sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula, plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapep- sin, then you will readily see why !; makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes, and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas. Eru, ,tations of sour undigcsted food, Nausea, Headaches, Dizziness, Con- stipation and other Stomach disor- ders.
 .s Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dys- pepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the common, everyday cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gas tritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer.

DEFECTIVE PIN LOSES S1785

Mrs. Chas. Baranda, of Bakers
field, reposed faith in a safety pin
yesterday and as a consequence is
mourning the loss of $l7S5, all on
account of a defective pin, which
refus d 10 work and allowed a
huge roll of greenbacks to fall to
the street, unnOticed by the owner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baranda arrived
from Bakersfield last week and
secured apartments at the Golden
Eagle hotel. Saturday Mrs. Baranda
cashed a money order at the Wells
FaIg office and secured in lieu Of
the certificate. Sl7S5 in currency.
The currency was in two bills for
$500, seven 500 bills and $S5 in
smaller bills. The money was
placed in the hotel safe as it was
after banking hours.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Baranda
secured the money from the SAT
placed il in a small bag W hich sh
pinned beneath her skirts. She
then visit the postofice, a depart
ment store and a cafe where she
breakfasted. When the banks
opened at 10 O'Clock she visited
n of the local institutions and
made arrangements for depositing
the Sl7S5. She reached for the
bag containing the currency and
discovered that it was missing. She
gave a hysterial scream and started
to faint. However, she promptly
recovered her composure and
started out to cover the trail she
had left during the morning.
The search was frditless and later
in the day the woman appealed to
Chief of Police Hillhouse for aid
in recovering the money. The
police chief communicated the loss
to the members Of his department,
but no information could be
secured as to the fate of the bag
containing the small fortune in
government currency.
Last evening Mrs. Baranda
offered a reward Of $500 for the
return Of the money. Reno

URANIUM A METAL:
IS ACTUALLY ALIVE

The announcement that inn
portant experiments in radium are
being carried on in Pacific coast
laboratories leads to the eXpecta-
ton that rapid steps will be taken
both in this country and abroad in
the wonderful new science called
RadioactivIty, says an exchange.
Scientists have learned that
uranium, the substance containing
radium is actually alive. The life
of radium is estimated at $500
years. There is a spontaneous and
continuous emission of rays which
look like little shooting stars.
These rays affect the Photographic
plate. The uranium atom not only
affects the Photographic plate, but
il produces heat and ionizes TIE
air. Scientists are able to measure
the energy that comes from the
atom.
Compare the marvellous metal
with gold, copper, silver, lead or
iron. They eve change. They
do not emit rays. They are dead.
Radium has life as strange and
mysterious as the life that CLOVIS in
a flower or moves in a mollusk or
breaihes in man. The atom of
uranium by emitting energy
changes to another atom and this
spontaneous transmutation is the
foundation of the new science.
Radium is taken in congresses
and baths now and is inhaled and
drunk in water and it is said to
have remarkable effects on certain
diseases, although it will never
take the place Of the surgeons
knife. Radium is supposed to be
the healing, curative agent in many
of the famous spring waters of the
world. Beautiful paviliOns have
been erected in Germany and
Austria. over certain springs, and
hundreds of sick persons sit there
every day inhaling radium emana-
ton from the waters.
Radium ore is only found in a
certain mine in Austria 1t takes
a ton of putchplende 10 make one
grain of radium. One gran of
ffteer grains of rodium is worth
about 500, geo.

ELKG'S CELEBRATION

There was a good attendance at
the 4th of July meeting last night
ahd important business relating to
the celebration was transacted.
George b. Russell called the meet
ing 10 order and L. NJ. Steninger
took the secretary's chair. On
motion u permanent organization
was formed by the election of
Edgar Reinhart as chairman:
George B. Russell, secretary: and
John Henderson treasurer.
After some discussion it was
decided to place the management
of the celebration in the hands of
one mar and Lou Henderson was
unanimously chosen to fill the
position. Mr.. Henderson returned
thanks and appointed the following
gentlemen as a committee to assist
him. j. A Mcbride. r. T. New
man, Edgar Reinhart, Percy Halle
ton and A. W. Hesson. He also
announced that the committee
would meet Wednesday night at
Mr.. Newman's office to discuss
plans for the celebration.
From the spirit manifested by
those present, it is the determina-
ton to have the best celebration
this year Elko has ever had. In
order to accomplish this, The
citizens must assist the manage
ment and The committee. la fact,
everybody will have to drill more
or less.
1t was the general sentiment
that a flying machine would be the
best attraction of the celebration.
This would attract people from
miles around and bring them to
Elko. 1t will be a splendid feature
d and we hope a birdman will he

QUEER Town IS IRONSPORT

The most remarkable town i'm
America. ir some respects at least,
is to be found among the hills Of
southern Ohio. 1t is transport,
with 700 inhabitants, ten miles
east of GAINESVILLE.
The Transport postofice was
closed October 81. because Joseph
Barney, the postmaster, said he
had not sold "A single stamp in five
weeks nor had he received any in
coming OF outgoing mails. The
people explain that they have no
friends to write to and that they
are all too busy to write anyhow.
There has not been an idle man
in lronspOrt since 1909. The mines
are Running full time and every
miner owns his own home. Some
time ago the police department
disbanded. the chief declaring
there had been no arrests made
within six months and that it is
only a waste of public money t.
keep salaried policemen.
The village records one fire in
two years and the damage then
was $500.
A recent census showed that the
population is composed of G37
lrishmen, IL WelsNmen and 50 Ger.
mans. Until October II there
were only II men and women in
Transport who had mo church,.
A GAINESVILLE priest recently report
ed that he had succeeded n CON
Yertirg these II persons.
The school teachers of I]ronsport
children r unusually bright,
owing to the moral influence of
the town. Not since a circus
visited Transport three years ago
has there been a person seen on
the streets so late sas midnight
