The Mexican Difficulty.

If Madero is deposed and driven out OF
Mexico, who for the succession? The
uncertainty on this point adds to the
gravity of the Mexican situation.
When Diaz was under fire little doubt
existed as to the succession if he fell.
Everything indicated Madero. He was
recognized as the brains and the purse
of the revolt. His only weakness lay in
the fact that he was not a soldier.
country so long under the domination of
soldier in the executive chair seemed
to call for a soldier. to succeed him. But
Madero found fighters. and with his ca
pacity for organization and his large
money resources he won.
But there is no such man in the anti
Madero ranks today. We hear Of fight
ers. but they are OF only local celebrity.
Zapata is fresh from the ranks, and can
barely read and write. His whole stock
in trade may be found in his physical
courage and his cunning. He has no
equipment for the Office of president.
Gen. Reyes is not mentioned now. His
day was brief and inglorious. His appeal
met with practically no response, and he
was taken with ease. There would not
be a president in a discredited man.
Among the politicians and the financiers
there is no figure that looms large-large
enough to command such support as Ma
dero did after the fall of Diaz. There
are able men of civil experience in the
ranks of the opposition, but no command
ing personality.
AS is easily seen, if Madero falls the
situation will be difficult in the extreme.
Two governmental failures within twelve
months will make record even for Mex
ico The unrest will be great and wide
spread. Every fellow for himself, and
the devil take the hindmost. Only very
strong man. with both civil and military
qualities, could hope to cope with so many
divisions and clashing purposes. And
where is he? Who for the task Of clean
ing up the Madero mess plus the Diaz
mess? kitchener's task in South Africa
did not call for such varied resources as
would this.
From the way the Americans in Mexico
are responding to the suggestion from
home to make themselves scarce it is
evident that they correctly appraise mat
tiers. Whatever betides, it seems certain
that the country is scheduled for a long
period of turbulence. Once authority is
overthrown among a people of warlike
temper and experience. 1t is not easily
restored. Diaz drove with = curb and a
tight rein. Madero on the box has sought
to do the same thing, but both the lead
ers andsthe wheelers. know that the new
whip is new to his business, and they
are plunging in very dangerous fashion.
If Madero is knocked off the box, where
Is the hand that can quiet the team and
send the coach along?

The Extremists.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The extraordinary antics Of the London
suffragists have been of value to that
country; they have furnished an argu-
ment against premature and hasty action
that no amount of formal argument could

have caused sensible Englishmen to per-

ment to amount to anything at all, Of de-
termining policies of the government

BIG CIRCUS
is COMING

Jones Bros World Toured Shows
will be in Gardnerville for two per-
formances. With each successive
summer season one looks forward to
the visits of the various tented or
ganizations that tour the country
for the pleasure of the amusement
loving public, and no attraction is
ever more heartily welcomed than
Jones Bros Shows. Not claiming
to be the largest in the world, they
have made an enviable reputation
for themselves by the sterling value
of their performances, which ap-
peals to all, as interesting, amusing
and instructive. Everybody loves
horses, ponies and dogs, and those
who do not enjoy seeing the heights
to which it is possible to educate
these domestic pets are few and far
between. More especially does this
apply to the fair sex, who with the
children are the most loyal of Jones
Bros patrons, confident that they
are sure of the highest form of en-
tertainment, free from anything
calculated to offend the most
sensitive. With such credentials as
these it is a small wonder that this
popular exhibition is almost house
hold word throughout the country.
In addition to the trained animal
features Jones Bros have secured
many acts of international repu-
tation.
There will be two performances
on Wednesday July 17th. The Hat
su troupe of japanese, acrobats and
jugglers, Prof. Van Rankin with his
wonderful troupe of educated ponies
Capt. Duncon, with his herd of per-
forming elephants. The La Zeldra
troupe of eighteen European aero
bats. Lenhart the boneless wonder,
White, the Wire King and the six
Sisters Lorettos in their beautiful
riding act with dozens of other at
fractions go to make this big show.

BALL TEAM
WH|TEWASHED

In the ball game played at Mason
on July Fourth, the GardnerviIle
team was defeated by score of

players were semi-professionals,
and put up a stiff game.
One of the autos broke down six
miles out of Mason and the boys
we're forced to walk in after being
on the road for eleven hours. They
wore themselves out trying TO crank
life into the machine but the thing
was as obstinate as a Democratic
mule. 3Arendt Jensen declares that
that Il =N had an Irish picnic out on
the desert but hopes that he will
never be invited out again.
The boys speak very highly of
the courteous treatment extended
them by the people of Mason.

OLD
PHONE co.
The Farmers Company Will Take
Possession On August lst;
Consideration $4,000.

A deal was closed this week
whereby the United Farmers Tele-
phone and Telegraph company is to
take over the business of the Neva-
da Consolidated company now do
ing business in this county. Ac-
cording to the terms of the deal the
Farmers company is to take possess
sion on August 1st. The price
paid for the exchange was $4,000,
which include the toll line to Car
son.
When the Farmers company was
first organized and endeavor was
made to purchase the company al
ready established. Efforts failed to
even get hearing with the officials
of the Nevada company. The Farm
ers' company got busy, signed up
SO per cent of the telephone users of
the community for service, ordered
equipment and commenced con-
struction. New territory was
selected and as work progressed
and things began to shape in form,
the old company began to look at
the situation in a more serious light.
They finally submitted a condition
of sale, the price being $1,000:
This was turned down. Weeks flew
by, conferences were held and the
price dropped slowly but surely.
Finally the old company offered to
sell for $4,000, they were offered
$4,000 and a compromise was made
by an even split in the difference.
Practically all of the new con-
struction work done will be ne
cessary to put the lines in class A
shape. None of this work was
was wasted. The old lines will be
taken down and used to build feed
lines.

that the Chinaman lived to tell the
tale, otherwise you would be at

new WAY
TO IRR|CATE

Those who are familiar with the
situation declare that it is but the
question of a short time when SUBJ
irrigation will be in common use
in this Valley. Its many advantages
over other systems are claimed to
be many and something that ap-
peals to those who are ready to adj
opt a modern system of irrigation.
In many of the farming sections of
Utah sub-irrigation has been in use
for several years and is rapidly
spreading to adjoining districts.
In sub-irrigation, we are told, that
tile, such as is used in drainage, is
placed in the ground much in the
same manner. The tile is laid deep
enough to avoid the plow, leading
from the supply ditch. The dis
tance between each lead of tile
varies with the character of soil
and slope of the land. The end of
the tile is plugged up and the water
percolates through the ground, by
escaping from the space that is left
at each joint of tile.
1t is understood that an experiment
of sub-irrigation is to be made in
this Valley next season.

FOUND GUILTY
Gets Year and Ten Months in
PrisOn--Judge Sorry he Could
Not Impose Heavy Sentence

Paul LoYelace, former convict,
was again landed in the prison Mon
day from Storey county to serve
year and ten months for an assault
on a Chinaman of the hill city, whom
he attempted to rob.
A verdict was brought in by the
jury early Sunday morning and
Monday Lovelace was brought up
for sentence. The following action
took place:
The Court---Paul Morton Love-
lace will you stand up.
Mr.. Lovelace of the 8th day of
June, this year, the Grand Jury of
Storey county found an indictment
against you charging you with the
crime of an assault with intent to
commit robbery. On this .indict-
ment you were duly arraingee, and
to the indictment you pleaded not
guilty.
You were placed upon your trial;
you were ably defended by Mr.. FoW-
Ter, and | want to congratulate Mr..
Fowler on the very excellent defense
that he made in your behalf. | con-
slider it a remarkable defense, and
he is entitled to great credit for the
manner in which he presented the
defense to the jury in your behalf.
However, the jury returned ver-
dict to this Court, finding you guilty
of an assault with a deadly weapon,
and this is the time which the Court
has fixed for pronouncing sentence
upon you. Have you any legal
cause at this time to show why the
judgment of the Court should not
be pronounced against you?
Mr.. Fowler--We have no legal
cause to show if the Court please.
The Court---Mr. Lovelace, since
the verdict was rendered which
found you guilty of an assault with
a deadly weapon, | have endeavored
to resolve in my mind the process of
reasoning indulged in by the jurors
trying your Csc by which they
reached such a conclusion. 1t is
incomprehensive to me, and | am
still at loss to know.
Under the evidence you were
either guilty of the crime charged
in the indictment or you We're an
innocent man.
In my judgement the testimony
amply warranted your conviction of
the offense charged, and for which
you were tried.
You came into this community
pretending to respectability after
having served term in the Nevada
State Penitentiary and in a measure
a number of people believed in your
sincerity. This bold front put on
by you and by which you deceived
the public was however, of but short
duration and you could not resist
renewing your life Of crime.
When you committed the crime
of which you stand convicted, and
committed the crime for which you
should have been convicted, you
designed with murder in your
heart intending to take the life of
Hing, if needs be, to carry out the
purpose of robbery. That was your

NO TRUTH
IN ARTICLE

Under date line of Woodland,
July 9th, a press dispatch appeared
in the daily papers relative to the
mysterious disappearance of Vera
Wilder OF Gardnerville. As mat
ter of fact little Vera Wilder is at
her home in Gardnerville, was never
IN Woodland and the yarn is nothing
but mass of falsehoods. Accord
ing to the story Vera was expected
to visit Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson at
Woodland. Friday night Mr.. Simp-
son received "a telephone message
from the girl to meet her at the
depot. Arriving there the girl was
not to be found. Next day he re-
ceived another message, thought to
have been from Knights Landing,
in which the girl said she was there
with a male companion with whom
she was disgusted and asked Mr..
Simpson to come at once and get
her. Arriving there he could not
find her. The article continues with
the probability of white slave agents
kidnapping and all the inauguration
that a reporters fertile brain could
produce.
Monday Sheriff Arid received
a telegram from the Probation
Officer at Woodland regarding the
matter. and Immediately wired an
answer that Vera Wilder was at
home and had not been to Woodland
or any other California town.
