Invention Widows Only Property.

Mattulath was a resident of New
York when he applied for his patent,
but was temporarily in Detroit. Mich.
when he signed the papers. He later
came to this city, where he died, De-
cember 80, 1902. The invention was
the only property he had to leave his
widow. The application was entered on
the records of the patent Office as
abandoned October 3. 1903.
November %, 1910. Mrs. Mattulath filed
a petition to revive. She stated that
while she and other members of his
family knew that her husband had
worked on an invention of flying ma
chimes, none of them had knowledge of
the existence of the application until
October. 1909, when an attorney applied
to her to sign a paper allowing him ac-
cess to the file of the patent. She Sc
cured an attorney and thought he had
made application for her, but death in
tervened again and removed the attorney.
Mrs. Mallulath then obtained her pres
ent counsel, who. asked reinstatement on
the plea that the delay was unavoidable,
but in a decision of March - last AS
sistant Commissioner Tenant denied the
application This decision is the one re-
versed today by Chief Justice Shepard.

Why Application Was Denied.

In March. 1900. the examiner in tn
patent office regarded the flying machine
as imperative. mo successful attempt
has yet been made the official then
wrote. Ito rise from the earths surface
by means of an aerial vessel unprovided
with a balloon.
THE results of previous experimentation
indicate that even if the rising could be
successfully accomplished, the vessel
would be uncomfortable through inability
to maintain its normal position or bal
ance. However plausible appellants
theory may be, in view of the present
state of the mechanic arts and the results
of previous experimentation, the step is
so long from the theory to actual use and
the practicability of the apparatus is SO
problematical that actual demonstration
of operativeness will be required before
the grant of a patent"

The Recall

THE attorneys of Nevada decided against the recall by a
small majority. 1t was never supposed for a moment that they
would declare in favor of this advanced movement. The fact
remains that it is the attorneys and not the people who have de-
cided the question. To the every day man, the fellow who has
to pay the taxes that go to pay the Judge, it would seem that he
has some say as to who gets his coin. If a Judge is found to be
incompetent, that he is crooked, the people should have the
right to fire him, to issue his discharge or kick him out of Office,
he had hired.
a- The recall of Judges or the agitation of the subject has
been brought about from the fact that the taxpayers or citizens
have had to support men whom they knew We're not as they
should be. The delay in the administration of justice. the long
the people thinking and they are asking the recall. The mat
ter should be put to a vote. If the majority say no let it go that
way. The vote "Yes' would settle the matter and the Judge
would be brought down to the level of other elective officers
and there might be a considerable increase in haste in Justice
and respect for the common herd who pay the taxes.

Give Us the 1896 Figures

WHILE the Investigations are going on of the cost OF re
cent presidential elections, we hope the committee will go back
and give the people the cost of the campaign OF. 1896. A few
people Of the west, some of them mine owners, raised and sent
to the Democratic national committee some $3.50 600. There was
no secret about; it no concea,ment. The property and future
prospects of the subscribers depended in great part upon the
reconciliation of silver. But the World of New York got hold
of the statement and published day after day the false state
ment that a combination of sler miners had formed a trust and
were flooding the country with an unheard OF amount OF
money to corrupt the voters in order to enable them to double
the value of their mines and force upon the people half weight
dollars. 1t did this knowing that Mark Hannah was spending
every week in order to debauch the country more money than
the whole amount the Democrats had during the whole cam
paign.
Mr.. Belmont admitted the other day that he put up $24Oy
900 to try to elect Mr.. Parker. How much did he and Mr..
Morgan and Mr.. Rockefeller and the rest subscribe to elect Me-
Kinley in 1896? The $24O,OO0 given by Mr.. Belmont to try to
elect Mr.. Parker was nearly las much as all the silver mine
owners gave to try to elect Mr.. Bryan. Mark Hanna is dead.
but the books must be somewhere, and to find them and pub
lsh the facts would supply mighty interesting reading to the
people of the United States.

Not Toting Fair

THE Elko Free Press, Republican, states that the Demo
Gratis are going to abandon the preferential vote for United
States Senator this fall and elect Key Pittman. This Republi-
can paper is not toting fair and is misleading the public. The
Democratic party was the first to adopt the plan. While it lost
a Senator last session by this program, the Democrats are al
ways willing to take a chance with the people and their candi-
date will 60 before the voters on the popular vote theory.
Mr.. Pittman in announcing his candidacy states that he
supports the Democratic platform and that platform is for the
progressive method Of selecting Nevada's Senator. The Free
Press had better look up records and become informed on the
issues of the day before sliding back into the old rut.
I Tt sould also be borne in mind that this unwarranted story
has sprung from a Republican press.

experienced in the section in a number
of years and hail in the Prairie Point

ported to have done a great deal of
damage. Mr.. Poindexter is said to have
suffered the most. A good portion of
his crop will have to be replanted. So
far as heard from the wind caused the
most damage short distance from Ma
con on the north. A number of trees
and few barns and cabins were blown
down on the Augustus place and Mr..
Paul Augustus lost mule by lightning.
Two chimneys was blown down on Mr..
w. v. Rogers hoase, and the Cumber-
land Telephone Company had number

House Flies and Disease.

Hc uOuSc-C SldIluS COllNiSCON
as a disseminator of disease and
a carrier of contagion. Ever
since the investigation of the
spread of typhoid fever in the
United States military camps
during the Spanish War of 1898,
the evidence has been accummu-
lating, until to-day there is no
escape from the charges against
this tantalizing insect. Every
far-reaching probe into sanitary
problems is liable to disclose con-
ditions hitherto quite unsuspec-
ted; and the indictments already
brought against the house-fy
during the past few years charge
responsibility for a long category
of infections. including cholera
and various forms of dysentery,
diphtheria. erysipelas, contagious
ophthalmia. cerebrospinal menin-
gifts, anthrax and possibly small
pox, in addition to typhoid fever.
Whether all Of these charges
will stand in the light of scien-i
tific investigation remains to be
seen. 1t is important, not SO
much in justice to the accused
insect as because Of the hygenic
and preventive measures which
are dependent thereon, that the
question here raised be authori-
tatively settled. In the case of
typhoid, the evidence appears to
be complete. !
DR.. Torrey, of the Loomis
Laboratory Of New York, has at
tempted to supply facts on this,
question. He has examined the
flies caught in the densely popu-
lated parts of New York City
during a number of months.
Both the bacteria occurring in the
intestine and those from the sur
face of the insects were investi-
gated. The flies examined in
April and early in June were COM
paratiyely free from dangerous
bacteria. AS the summer season
advanced high bacterial counts
began to appear and also an alb
rupt change in the character of
the bacteria. The record connts
came at the end of the two weeks
of excessive heat in July.
Some idea of the number of
organisms that single insect
may carry is indicated by the
figures $40 to 4,400,000 for the
surface contamination, and 49,
900 to 28,0O0,O00 for the intesti-
nal bacterial contents. Most of
the bacteria found were compare
lively harmless. This investiga-
ton, however was carried on in
the crowded city, where sewers
would naturally carry off all of
the most dangerous infective
matter. The Journal of the
American Medical Association
says that the house-fy is an "un-
desirable citizen" in any event,
20 that the war of determination
already begun against it in many
quarters deserves encouragement
