POWERS ARE
WONDERFUL
ASTONISHING ACCURACY Or
CLAIRVOYANT'S LIFE READ
INGS ATTRACTS WIDE
ATTENTION.
MANY PROMINENT ARDMORE
TIES HAVE HAD FORTUNE
TOLD.

At no time in the history of this
city has it been visited by one SO
perfectly developed in the mysteries
Of clairvoyancy and mental science
as Prof. Valyea, who is at present
here. In the last three weeks he
has read with amazing accuracy the
life, past and future of over two
hundred of the citizens, many Of
whom are prominent.
Altho many of the people were
skeptical and inclined to have little
faith in clairvoyancy when they went
to consult the Seer, yet they left
his apartments with conviction OF
faith not unmingled with awe. Any
idea of fraud was totally precluded
from consideration, so sincere anu
open was the seer in his words and
actions
That human being is endowed
not only with the power of telling
accurately what has happened in the
past, but also with the ability Of
divinng what is to take place in
the future, indicated by the present
trend of circumstances, is as re-
markable as it is rare. Prof. Valyea
is one of those remarkable person
ages whose intuitive grasp of the
undeveloped field of psychic phenom-
enon enables him to pursue success
fully his chosen profession.
1t is as impossible to convince
the general public that there is any
foundation to spirit communication as
it was one hundred years ago to
make the people believe that it was
possible to propel boats by steam or
to communicate by wire to some dis
tant point. Men of science are just
beginning to delve into the puzzling
and mysterious laws of psychic phc-
nomenon and the result will be that
in a few years wonderful and un-
thought of revelations will be made.
Prof Valyea is located at 3l6 West
Main and will be here up to and
including Sunday only Hours 10
a, N. to $50 p. m. daily.

A few hours ride in an automo~
bile will generally show the great
difference in the manner of working
roads, especially in the buifiing of
culverts and bridges. Just what can
cause an apparently intelligent road
supervisor to leave a plank bridge
five or six inches higher than the
grade of the sewer pipe without any
earth covering it. is something that
calls for some guessing,-EX.

FREAK OF NATURE ASSISTS
WOODMAN IN SECURING
HIS WINTERS SUPPLY

John Smith. who was hauling wood
from the summit, was among those
who was caught in the heavy storm
OF last Saturday. John gives a vivid
description of the rain and lightning.
There were a couple OF large fir
trees that John has had his eye on
for some time, one dead the other
alive. He was figuring on taking the
dead one out but hated to tackle the
giant To his surprise the lightning
struck this big tree. He states that
while it broke it into hundreds of
pieces it failed to cord it up. At any
rate the tree is down and split so
that it can be loaded Both trees
were absolutely shattered by the
lightning bolt.

ESCAPED CON
IS CAPTURED
ESCAPED CONVICT
COMES BACK TO HIS
HOME SWEET HOME .

The fact remains that ii a man
runs away from prison he stands
poor chance of making good his ulti
mate escape. This has been proven
again. To-day Warden Dickcrson
and the Capt OF the State Police re-
ceived word from Berkeley. Cal, to
the effect that John Riley. who escap-
ed from the road camp in June 1911,
was beng held pending the arrival u
the Nevada officers. Riley will be
returned TO the penitentiary within a
few days.
Riley was the first man to make
his getaway He was working at
the road camp and left for new
scenes. As this plan OF honor was il
vogue the Warden and others receiv-
ed harsh criticism Riley dropped
out of sight like magic and while
traces OF the man have been found
the authorities have never been quite
up to him on the trail. His capture
in Berkeley' settles his part of the
program.
The chances for liberty seem very
slim. Seventeen men out of nine
teen who have escaped have been
captured and returned to the pen.
Two are yet at large, and lines are
safely drawn on one OF them. Be
tween the Bertiion. photography and
other identihcations the man who
shakes the dust of the prison only
goes TO gather more of it. The cap
ture OF Riley is another tally for the
system used by Nevada's State Pu-
hce.

Labor Day Meeting

Big Time Assured for Carson. Many
Schemes to be Set in Motion
at the Event

There is absolutely no question as
to the Labor Day celebration in Car

week the various committees have
been pretty busy as was shown last
evening when Chairman Harrington
called the committee and the citizens
to order at the Court House A
good sized crowd OF people was pres
ent and during the hours session a
lot OF suggestions were offered, some
OF which will be adopted and others
which will be taken under considera-
ton
Probably the most important fea-
ture OF last nights meeting was the
report OF the finance committee. The
members have been on the hustle the
past week. The result is that there
is approximately $500 in sight with
more coming, and it can be safely
stated that $1,000 will be available II

Manager Ballard OF the Grand
Theatre has made the committee an
offer of the proceeds OF one night
show. When it is announced every
live one in the camp is supposed to
dig up his small change and add to
the exchequer. This should help the
finances materially and give ready
coin to start operations

WH|SKEY
MAKES
FRICTION
USUAL PRACTICE OF FEDER-
AL OFFICIALS CAUSES
TROUBLE IN RENO

\ disagreement between special Of
tcer Harrington, engaged in appre-
hending persons who sell liquor to
Indians, and two special government
agents engaged in the same work
may result in no more federal prison
ers being received in the county jail.
Several days ago Harrington ar
rested an Indian who was exhibiting
a bottle of whisky. When he made
the arrest the two government agents
appeared and were much enraged,
claiming the Indian was stool pig
con, for them and that they used him
to aid them in arresting the real cul-
prits. They threatened Harrington
with bodily injury and HARRINGTON
invited them to start hostilities. No
thing was 'started''
Next came word from Federal Of
ficer Harms at Carson City that here
after he would not be responsible for
the care of Federal prisoners in the
Washoe County Jail unless they were
taken there under commitment
signed by the L. S. Marshal-Reno
Gazette
