WAS NOT MRS. CAMP

About a month ago. a woman.
known as Daisy Craig. was
brought from Shafter and taken
to the county hospital. A few
days afterward she died without
her identity being known. Her
remains were emblamed by Mr..
keyser and held for some time in
hopes of getting some trace of her
people. This failed and she was
buried at the county's expense.
After she was laid away. a dis
patch from San Francisco, address
ed to Mrs. T. j. Camp and signed
Myrtle. was received at the county
hospital. In the dispatch. the
signer asked about her mothers
condition. TIE dispatch Sas turn
ed over to Mr.. Keyser and he,
thinking it had reference to the
woman who had died at the county
hospital, wrote to the sender of the
dispatch and informed her of the
death of the woman at the hospital.
In due course Of mail. he receiv-
ed a reply from her stating that
she supposed her mother, Mrs. T.
j. Camp. was at the cOuDt\
hospital when she sent the dispatch
but learned soon after that her
mother started from their home
between Wells and Contact for the
county hospital. but changed her
mind at Deeth snd went home
She knew nothing about the dead
woman and it is quite probable
that her identity will never be
known.

MAXSON ILL At PANAMA

The possible return Of Col. II.
B. Maxson, republican national
committeeman from Nevada, to
Reno is indicated in letters receiv-
ed here stating that The climate
of the canal zone where
he was given a position by
President Taft does not agree with
him, and that he has been i'll most

tropics.
Col. MaXson, it is said, has
written in his letters that he would
have mis- family join him at one.
but in other epistles has directed
DELAY, pending the outcome of mis-
illness. 1t is understood that he is
now improving in health. No de-
finite word as been received that
he will stay in Panama or return
Ia Reno.
Colonial Maxson was not in the
best of health when he left, being
troubled with hay fever, from
which he recovered en- route, but
which gave place to asthma after
he arrived in Panama, October
10.
In his letters he speaks of having
been invited TO dinner at the house
Of the governor of the canal zone,
and of having met the other
prominent officials engaged in the
work. He stated he had been
assigned to temporary duties thus
far, but spoke enthusiastically Of
the engineering work being ac-
complished on the isthmus. Al.

LAYING THE CORNER STONE
Of THE NEW CHURCH
AND Y. N. C. 4 BUILDING

Next Friday at 2:3O has been
decided upon as the time for laying
the corner stone of the new build
ing being erected by the trustees
of the Presbyterian Church to be
used by the public as a Y. NJ. c. A.
Institution is used. This building
is 65X95 feet and will contain
besides a church auditorium and a
Sunday School room, a g. mnasium.
shower baths, a game room for
boys and a club room for men.
The dining room or social hall
will also be thrown open t. the
organization at all times
the old church building which
has been moved to a lot adjoining
the new building will. be used for
a reading room and public library.
1t is connected with the new build
ing by a stairway leading 10
from the basement. The church
auditorium itself is small seating
about 100 people. Murh prom
inence has been given to facilities
for doing a regular Y. NJ. c. A.
work. This will be a great
advantage to Western Pacific
employee, to the High School
students and to the young men of
Elko. The location is one of the
best that could have been selected.
Including 100000 spent for
the purchase of a new lot the
building will cost when furnished
and equipped about $40, 900.
$4,000 IF this has already been
pledged and $4,000 will be loaned
by the Presbyterian Board at a
small rate of interest. This insti-
tuition will be undenumiratonal
and nonsectarian and will not he
managed or directed by the
trustees of any church as such.
About $1,000 more is needed to
complete the building free Of
debt. As only about half the
county has thus lar been canvassed
there is no question about the
liberality of the rest of the people
in raising the balance.
Al the exercises FRIDAY Hon. F.
F. Gedney will present a history of
Elko County which will be placed
IN the cnrner stone. 4 history Of
the church will be read and an
address delivered by Hon f. E.
Caine. The Masons have been
invited to lay the corner stone.
Appropriate music will be
rendered for the occasion II
stormy they will take place within
the old building until time to put
the stone in place.
The school and stores are invited
TO close during the hour and every
one is invited to be present.
A handsome corner stone of
granite with the emblem of the Y.
NJ. c. A. on n side and the date
on the other has been presented by
Mr.. G. P. Griffith and the copper
box in which the material will be
place is the gift Of e. +. Fields.
The material placed in the
corner stone of the first church
built in Elko in 1870 and also of
the second church built in 1893
will be transferred to the copper
box placed in this corner stone and
in addition to it other material
which will be made puolic Friday

Think .Hedlthy.

A distinguished physician speaking
of "the influence OIL the mind on the
body" says there are three kinds Of
persons One is a man of radiating
vitality, the go-ahead, hopeful fellow,
who can eat thick steaks and burn
them into mental energy; the second
is narrow, pessimistic, unjust, incap-
able of aspiration or enterprise be-
cause he can't burn thick steak into
mental energy; and then, there is the
third man, who is able to shield his
mind from the influence of the body;
and then the good doctor goes on 70
announce this doctrine: "The great
est service which mental theraphy,
called Christian Science, has rendered
society is increasing the members of
this third group. In teaching how TO
shield the body against the mind they
are more successful than in curing
the body through the mind. The ad-
vice of this able physician is to keep
disease out of the mind; stop imagin-
ing it, stop looking for it, stop talk
ing about it, but all the time breathe
pure air, eat wholesome food, take
plenty of exercise, and go about with
a kindly and hopeful spirit. If that
does not make health it certainly will
tend to make one happy.

What Lives on Forever.

1t does not matter much how highly a
man is educated in the mortal sense, for
if the usage of his knowledge and higher
education be along lines that lead him
to beat, cheat or deceive his neighbOr,
employer or employed, he is truly dan
gerous and ignorant man.
But he who stands for real justice,
and Righteousness has reached true and
immortal knowledge and wisdom in the
usage of it in the right channels, no
matter how humble his education may
be, he is in reality the only wise and
truly educated man, and his achieve
ments will be the enduring ones in the
end, as they are built on fundamental
moral and social truths, the Divine Es-
sence Of justice, light and life itself.

Again, for almost forty years, the
sole protection the humber circum-

Many, yes, indeed, the records will
show that many gladly took the
course upon advice by good citizens
and just as gladly the city officers
used to answer such heart-rending
prayers for relief. Under our new
idea a family sought this accustomed
legal relief. They were advised that
those entrusted with the high office
of laws enforcement had practically
writ hn l.; 10
state law. They were forced to go to
a greedy saloonist who was known to
have harbored even legally posted
persons and to cater to the ''can rush
ing" trade of tramps. They expect
no mercy, and they got none. They
received a shock when this brazen
defer of law and order by sharp an
swers practically let them feel that
he was the real monarch" of the
law, and that as such he would n ot

who over indulge and wreck good

in this posting matter, like men of
neighboring villages in Jefferson

worth a pound of cure.
