tons till after the lunch hour.
Probably the most important
measure so far introduced in the

1t is bill providing for an inheri
tance tax in this state. The law is
admitted as imperative to this
state. 1t is understood that it is

buldging point. MIR. Sullivan
believes that this law will act as a
direct benefit to Nevada and assist
m the state and school funds. He
had it sent to the judiciary COM
mi tee, as he not being lawyer

eddy require lot Of work on the
pa Of this committee and it is
believed that it will come forth in
such form as to stand fire from
courts and litigants. Several
members of this committee realize
the far-reaching intent and intend
giving it all the consideration
possible.

HICKEY WAS GUILTY
 SAYS COURT MARTIAL
OPPOSED CAPTAIN OF STATE GUARD IS BLAMED FOR RIOT
 AT F0RDYtE.
Recent Hearing Approves the Finding ing Of Former Governor
 DOnag!icy.

Little Rock. July 2S.-fhe report of the court martial which heard the charges against Capt. Hickey, the de- posed officer of the .Ionesboro com pany, has at last been filed with Gov. Futrell He is considering it care fully. and will probably order it ap- proved and filed with the records of the Guard.
 According to the evidence presented before the court of inquiry. Capt. Hickey was Giscourteous to officers of county and town at FordyCe, when negroes were attacked and beaten up, presumably by members of his com pany, who had stopped in that town a short time on their way to the annual encampment in Alexandria, La. Hick- ey "cussed out" the officers and stated he would not submit to the placing of his men under arrest. Hick- ey was stripped of his shoulder straps by Gov. George w. Donaghey, who
  demanded a court martial, but it was not given until the petition was pre- sented to Gov. Futrell. When it was decided to hold the hearing in For dyce, Hickey declined to be present.
 The hearing approves the finding of Gov. Donaghey. It condemns the ac- tions of Capt. Hickey stating that he ursurped charge of the train carrying the soldiers south and also censured the superior officer who permitted him to do it. Hickey is further con- demned for permitting his men to have lntoXicants, it being shown thal large amount was placed on the car for his company at Pine Bluff. Hickey is further censured for attending church, bearing. arms. The report al- so recommends greater discipline in the handling Of state troops in the flu ture.

Man From Mexico Says Peace Kcigns ill Pueblo and Most Startling
 Stories Are Fables"

x. J. SOrensOn, of Tehuacan, Pueblo, Mexico, was in the city yesterday on business connected with q large min ing company, whose headquarters are at TehuaCan, Whoref the company has large tracts of lands and are conduct ing mining operations. Tehuacan is located about thirty miles below the City of Mexico.
 In an interview with the Graphic man, and in reply to a question as to safety and conditions at Tehuacan, Mr. Sorenson said
 "Well, l have a wife and three chil- dren at our home at Tehuacan, and am not uneasy in the least about them There has been no trouble in our sec tion Of the country. The natives there seem to have but little interest in the civil war in their country, which is, as the believe, conducted mostly by brigands and outlaws, who are seek ing their own ends from selfish mo- u spirit.
 'We have been able to go ahead with our mining operations without any in terference and the trouble seems to lie mostly along the border between Texas and Mexico. l do not anticipate any trouble in our state of Pueblo.
 ''Rumors gain credence through the desire of some of the people who come out of Mexico to make their friends believe that they have had narrow es- capes from death. I hadn't any trou- ble in getting out Cor in either) of Mexico"
 Mr. Sorenson left yesterday after noon for Fl Paso, Texas, en route to his home at Tehuacan.

St. Louis, July 2S.-Secretary of State Bryan, in telegram received here today, declined an offer to speak at the Coliseum in St. Louis.

 Fences" said she. Just look at MT. Browns fence. He has kept ali the ugly posts and crossboards on his own side and has presented the smooth finished surface to us. But you don't catch MT. Smith doing that No, indeed. He looks out for num- Der one and keeps the nice side for himself, while we get all the rough patchwork"
 ''But that Is not Smiths fence," her husband argued. Tt is curs.''
 "Ours?" she echoed. How does that happen?"
 'It happens through legal statute which provides that every man who wants his property fenced in must build part of the fence and keep the ragged edges on his own side. That Is the law"
 "How perfectly ridiculous" she said. "If we continue to live in the country isn't there some way 1t cap be changed?"

CHILDHOOD A VARIED PERIOD
From Twenty Years, in the Human Race, 1t Grades Down to Few
 Weeks Among tho eirdl.

The childhood of animals varies with the total length of life, with the size, and especially with the position, in the life scale. Long lived animals, large animals and highly developed animals usually have long youth. The educated human being requires 20 years to grow up; the savage about 15; the higher monkeys-the gorilla and the orang-12 to 14 years; the baboon, 8 years, and the small mon, keys, about half that time. The less intelligent cat race has a youth of but 4 or 5 years among the larger kinds. The vegetable-eating animals. mostly of small intelligence, grow up quickly, the buffalo and all the big antelopes and deer having only about years of childhood, and the chamois somewhat longer, although the giraffe has 5 or years. The elephant, the largest of saud animals and one of the most intelligent, is not grown up until 20 to 27 years old. All birds have . short youth, looking after themselves tn weeks to 3 months, but becoming grown up in 1 to years. Many rep tiles-like the tortoise, crocodile, and alligator-seem to grow all their lives. Certain other creatures have a short adult period-the mayfly, for instance. spending years on the bottom of . pong, and living but few hours aft CT emerging fully grown from its skin covering. Still more extreme is the American cicada, which grores 17 years underground, and lives but ? or [ weeks after emerging.
