DAMAGE DEMAND
GOES To The
TRIAL JURY
MANHATTAN SUIT FOR INJURIES
peVoLVEs SOME NEW
POINTS

The case Of Ryan VS.. the Manhat-
tan Big Four company OF Manhat
tan, now before the district court,
h likely to go to the jury this after
noon.
This is a suit where the complain
ants bring into action a point that
has never been brought out In a
damage or any other kind of a suit
in Nevada. This is that almost
every other mining company is VIC
lating the law by using buckets and
crossheads in shafts dropping to
depth OF over $50 feet instead Of
supplying them with cages properly
equipped for the protection OF life
and property.
This is something that has been
regarded as dead letter to ma.
jority Of mining companies. few OF
which knew Of the existence Of such
a law.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY REMOVES
OFFICE TO BANK BUILDING

District Attorney Sanders has re-
moved his office from the court
house to the fifth floor of the State
Bank building where he can be found
at all hours of the day This step
was rendered necessary by reason
of the crowded condition Of the
court house which precluded such
accommodations as were necessary
for the transaction of public bust
ness. The space assigned Attorney
Sanders had to be shared with the
work of others and the result was
that callers on official business found
they could not have any privacy IN
the transaction Of business.

Special Correspondence

CARSON CITY, Feb. 5.-The judi
ciary committee reported the divorce
bill yesterday afternoon by six to
one in favor of the amendment with
ia recommendation for immediate ac.
tion. The Washoe committee pro-
posed reference to the public morals
committee to strangle the bill, but
a test vote showed that the free
and easy element was in a minority
too great to have their feeble efforts
entertained The test vote stood %
to 29 and after that there was moth
ing doing except to consider what
might be done in the way of further
blocking of legislation for the bet
terment of the morals of Reno.
This vote indicates the passage of
the bill without any further delay
with the Nye county delegation as
solid as the rock of Gibraltar. The
Esmeralda bunch is standing in with
the Washoe crowd, which emphasizes
the belief that the coalition of the
organizing hours still holds good.
The bill was made special order
for tomorrow morning at IL o'clock
and there is little doubt of its pas
sage at that time.
The bill was presented to the as
sembly by the judiciary committee
with a minority report which was
given by Assemblyman Gardiner of
Reno.
The majority report provides for
the bill going into effect January /,
1914. The period of residence is
fixed as six moIiahs for those whose
causes of divorce arise within the
state and II months for those who
come to Nevada from another state
to secure a divorce.
Gardiner started for the door when
motion was made to accept the
report of the committee and to make
the bill a special order for Friday

But it not infrequently happens thae
the attorney in the case gets the larger
part OF the allowance. He expaciates
upon the great misfortune to his client
and takes frequent occasion during the
trial to call the attention OF the jury
to the conditioasof the wife and chill
dren that must result from the mann.
ing OF the breadwinner. Then wnen
the jury awards damages in the sum
of $4,000, $4,000. $4,000 or $4,000. as the
case may be. this same attorney
swoops down like cormorant and d.

amount of the judgment. Here is an
opportunity for the gentlemen from
Hamilton to make another coup. AS

tect them from the rapacity OF law

The Iowa schoolna'am Is an institu.
ton. In the public school held the
women IN Iowa DO the work. The
woman county superintendent is on
deck in this state. The tendency grows
to turn the teaching and the manage
ment of the smaller city schools and OF
the rural schools over to the women.
The hold Of women on the educational
system is even stronger elsewhere
than in Iowa. Four states-Colorado,
Idaho, Washington and Wyoming have
women at the head Of their state school
systems. and there are now 4s5 women
county superintendents in the United
States nearly double the number OF
ten years ago. Wyoming has woman
state superintendent: the deputy state
superintendent is a woman; and OF the
fourteen counties in the state. all but
one are directed educationally by wo-
men. In Montana, where there are
thirty counties, only one man is re-
ported as holding the position Of county
superintendent.

THE BORROWED TIRE CLUB.

One Of the magazines presents a pic
ture and descriptive matter OF Dor
rewed Time Club" organized in one OF
the suburbs of Chicago. The Dor
rowed Time Club" consists OF men over
70. 1t was organized by a young man
from friends of his ftaher who had died
before the club idea occurred TO the
promoter.
Unique 1t may be, but It is mighty
poor sort OF club organized around a
weak idea It isn't good club for its
membership. The memorial idea OF the
young man who thus keeps alive the
memory of his father is we'll enough
in its way from his point Of attempt;
but for bunch Of old men to organ
ize themselves into club bearing
name suggesting that they are mere
wreckase on the shore Of time await
ing a wave to sweep them away ISL
good for the old men. To gather IN
crowd, like a mess Of Millerites on
prophesied ascension day, or like con-
demned persons awaiting the execu-
toner is neither helpful to themselves
nor others.
The fact is that persons over 20 are
no more living on borrowed time than
they were when they were months
old. They are just living on their cap
ital. The time is theirs by reason OF
strength, often by reason OF placlo
minds and contentment and the desire
to stay alive which amounts to the
same thing. There is not the slightest
reason why one should dig grave al
70 and spend the time remaining TO MN
sitting beside it worrying and wonder
ing when he will fall into it. In the
first place that system will shorten his
days. In the second place there's no
fun in II.
There's better way. Keep on Nv
ing in the world. Don't take the our-
den of your years on your shluioers
and chase off into the outskirts like ar
old-fashioned scapegoat or lepef

except yourself. Begin early to gel
ready for 20. Begin at so. Keep youns
in mind. Don't dodge the boys and

ciety. It is astonishing how welcome
younger men make elder ones who re-
tain the spirit Of youth. An elderly

of staying up-to-date. of staying alive
