it@d several Of the leading universi-
tie and colleges Of the north and
central states. Built entirely OF con
crete and steel, the buildings will be
absolutely fireproof, and, as DR.. Mil

1000 years. 1t will be constructed
in . system of units, each indie
pendent OF the other yet correlated
with the whole structure. so that the
capacity Of the dormitory may be
easily increased as occasion may re-

ings shall at first consist Of five of
these units although if sufficient
funds are not raised at preesnt only
three or four may be constructed.

CRATIC SPEECH AT GRAND
THEATER.

Given reception that was nothing
less thah an ovation, Congressman H.
Nj. Jacoway, as the guest Of the Con
way Wilson Marshall Democratic
Club, last night delivered an eloquent
Democratic speech before a crowded
audience at the new Grand theater
On his arrival at 8:lJ o'clock the dis
tlnguiShed visitor was met at the sta
ton by the Conway brass band and
was escorted by a committee of the
club to the theater. where am audi
ence which filled the auditorium and

had assembled. The large number Of
ladies present was especially noticea.

had arrived had not been late, caus-

Mr.. Jacoway was introduced by s.
W. Rogers, president Of The Wilson
Marshal club and a former fellow
toWnsman of the congressman. The
speaker was visibly touched by the
splendid reception accorded him and
seemed at 4 loss for words to express
his qualification. After apologizing
Tor lack OF time for preparation of
an addfess, que to illness in his fam
lily, and expressing his appreciation
OF the large audience, Mr.. jacoWay
went INTO a discussion OF the para
mount pollticai issue Of the day, the
tariff, and compared the records of
the Democratic and Republican par
tieS on this great question.
Citing governmental statistics to
prove his assertions, Mr.. Jacoway
showed that the tariff-proteeted
trusts are shipping their products >.

selling them to European consumers

TO THE PUBLIC

The teachers of the County
High School and the Public School,
feeling the need of some means
of decorating the walls of the
school buildings, have arranged
with the. W. Elson Art Company
of Boston, Mass, to exhibit $50
recognized works of art at the
Public School building Friday and
Saturday evenings from 7 to 10,
and Saturday afternoon from ! to
4 a. m. A charge of twenty-five
cents will be made and the money
taken in will go towards buying
appropriate pictures for the two
schools. The pictures purchased
will remaIn on the walls of our
school houses for many years to
come and will play no small part
in the development of the children.
The beautiful in art as well as in
music and poetry is absolutely
necessary to the child's highest
development. Come let US work
together for the children they
are worth more than we can
possibly do for them.

OVER 200 MEN EMPLOP-
ED At MASON SHELTER

The Yerington Times says that
the new Mason Valley smelter is
working successfully and states
that the construction of the plant
began about Is months ago, and
when completed to the capacity
of 1000 tons per day will have
cost close to $1,000, 900. The
present capacity of the plant is
500 tons per day, but it is expected
that the second furnace will be
ready for business inside Of 80
days from now. At the present
time the smelter is being fed by
$50 tons of ore a day from the
Nevada Douglas, about the sane
amount from the Mason Valley,
and a few tons Of custom ore, but
there will be a great amount of
custom ore in the near future.
The hauling Of the ore from the
two big mines is taxing the motive
power of the Nevada Copper Belt
road to its full capacity and the
company is now looki ne for an
other engine.
There are IN the neighborhuoj
of 200 men employed at the
smelter, from 100 to l75 at the
Nevada-Douglas rhine, about 60 at
the Mason Valley mine and tram,
with more going on daily, and
about 25 on the Copper Belt road.
This will make a good, substantial
pay roll in the district, and it will
grow larger rather than smaller.
The ore being sent to the smeIter
from the Nevada-D Douglass will
average beween 6 and 7 per cent,
but we believe will go much
higher, while small punches of
custom ore will run from 10 to so
per cent copper.

gilds. They were, one and all, men
of property and Of substance. To
gag the Assembly in ease of need
a Manchu prince was appointed TO
preside over its deliberations. But
all these precautions were Of no
avail. To the surprise and dismay
Of the court, this body from the
very moment it was called into
existence revealed itself as more
insistent upon radical reforms and
popular representation than even
the provincial iiets had been, and
its members insistei upon sending
repeated petitions TO the throne
asking that the more popular
branch of the national assembly
be Immediately convened.
Reluctant concessions begat, as
usual, more extravaganza demands,
the throne shuffled, and the open
break came at a moment when
most Of the demands had been nc.
coded to. To-day the revolution is
rampant in many provinces and all
powerful in not a few. Indeed,
its astonishing have been
greater outside than within the
area of the mil cary operations
now in progress. The practical
surrender of the throne, as con-
tanned in the pathetic edict of

WHAT ARIZONA DID

Arizonas rebuke to the Bourbon
politicians was decisive. Briefly.
this is what happened in the first
state election OF December:
The voters cleaned-up the local
crooks and elected throuhout the
state the best of the candidates
from which they had to choose.
The progressive constitution Of
Arizona was paced in the hands
of its friends Tor the first state
administration.
The FRY few progressive state
officials nominated by the Republic
cans and supported by the pro-
gressive Republicans, including
Hoval A. Smith for United States
senator, ran ahead o. their ticket.
Delegate Cameron, who stood
with President Taft in the effort
to eliminate from Arizonas ron
stitution the initiative, referendum
and recall prior to its adoption by
the people last February, and who
subsequently worked hand in hand
with President Taft for the defeat
of the recall of the judiciary
principle, was overwhelmingly
defeated in his efforts to go Ito the
United States senate.
A progressive Republican leader
writes, at is now evident that had
the management of the Republican
party organization stood for pro-
gressivism last fall and for a
really democratic government,
espousing all the features of gov
eminent designed TO place the
power back in the hands Of the
people, this sttte could be won,
hands down. Neither political
party can control Arizona without
the aid OF the labor vote. A year
ago labor favored the Republicans
but could not afford to follow
them in their reactionary program.
Will the reactionary leaders in
the Republican party profit from
his experience in Arizona2-La

A WONDERFUL MACHINE

The machine by which railway
tickets are printed gives an ex-
hibition Of intelligence or what
looks very like it. Railway tickets
are not, as might be supposed,
printed or large sheets and after
ward cut up. The cardboard is
cut into tickets first and printed
one by n afterward. The little
blank cards n put in a pie in a
kind of perpendicular spout, and
the machine slips a bit of metal
underneath the bottom OF the
spout and pushes out the lowest
ticket in the pile to be printed and
consecutively numbered. 1t is no
use trying to print a bad ticket.
The machine finds out an imperfect
blank in an instant and fatty re.
fuses to have anything to do with
it. Tear off the corner of one Of
the bits Of card and put it into the
spout with the others in order to
see what will happen and it re-
fuses to bulge again until some
body comes and removes the i'm
poster. Pull out the damaged
ticket and the mechanism will set
briskly to work again.-Phila.

THE PASSING Of THE MkNCHUS

Much support is furnished TO

final government. From first to

morning with Judge Averill Of

This being the time set for the
trial of A. Primeaux and Roy

A. W. Sewall & Company's store in
Tuscarora in 1910, the Ease was
called.
The defendant A. Primeaux
through his attorneys p. II. Nc
Carren and K. /. Perky mo Led for
a continuance until April 18th.
The motion was based on the afi-
davits of the counsel, A. Primeaux
n of the defendants, and DR.. B.
F. Richards, a physician at Craw-
ford, Nebraska, who is Tow at
tending MIR. Primeaux.
The afidavits stated that MIR.
Primeaux was in very bad health
and not able to stand trial at this
time. DR.. Richards stated that Mr..
Primeaux was suffering from what
in common talk is called harden
ing of the arteries and that his re-
mOval at this time to a higher
altitude might prove fatal. He
also said that MIR. Primeaux was
improving. Mr.. Primeaux's
affidavit was tu the effect that his
physician in Salt Lake City advised
his removal to a lower altitude
last November, that he was ~
years of age and was not in a
physical condition to stand trial at
this time.
After the reading OF the
a%ffidavits, the state asked for a
short recess to consider the aft .
davits. Judge Averil granted
the request and gave the state
until 2 O'Clock to consider the
afidavits.
When court convened at 2
o'clock Mr.. Levers on part Of the
state admitted the sufhciency of
the showing for a cont uance
and consented that the case be
continued until March 18th on
condition that II after a showing
it appeared that the defendant, A.
Primeaux, was not able to UNDER
go the ordeal of a trial the defense
would consent that q severance be
granted and the trial Of Roy
Primeaux be proceeded with. And
further tkat il be understood that
neither party lost any of their
rights they may have under the
law. The defense agreed to the
condition with the provision that
the showing in regard to MIR.
P rimeux being able to stand trial
should be made by the defense.
After some skirmishing the CON
ditions of the stipulation were
agreed TO and the court took a
short recess to permit counsel to
put the stipulation in writing.
