District Attorney Diskin oil hsnler-

for slot machines from that express

the Goldfield Tribune. An ordinance
is now being prepared by District
Attorney Diskin under the lnstruc-
ton of the county commissioners oy
which a license to operate slot ma
chimes will cost$10 a month for each
machine.
A CODY of the opinion attrlbut-
ed to the attorney general Is not IN
the possession of any official otthls
county and the statement OF what
that opinion is has been based upon
a articlein the Reno Journal, Dut
as that article has been widely quot
ed and has not been disputed by
Thatcher, it is taken for granted nat
he stands for it.
District Attorney WOODBURY. OF
| Washoe wrote to Thatcher and ask
ed for an opinion as to the effect oil
the new gambling law on slot ma
chine licenses and received a reply

law to require a state and county

chimes.
Before the passage of the old
gambling law under which the opera
ton of slot machines became felon.
ious, there was a provision by which
all such machines paid a license fee

Complaints have also been re-

warning TO the people of the city not
to be so trustful of solicitors. They
declare that if the solicitor is a bona
ide agent it will be no trouble for
him to produce proper credentials.

is understood also paid a goodly part

BACK WAS FILLED WITH
CHARGE OF BUCKSHOT.

Cal Wilson, who runs the
Spanish Springs station on the Man
haitian road near Tonopah, was shot
in the back Monday. with a charge of
buckshot, following an alteration
with Ed. McKelvey of Manhattan.
Wilson's condition is not serious as
the shot lodged beneath the skin and
were removed after three hours of
work by DR.. Cowden.
Details of the shooting are con-
fieting as two versions of the affair
do not exactly coincide. 1t is praeti-
cally admitted that both men a
been drinking.
1t is understood that Mckelvey
drove up to the station abou 8
CLOCK, during the height of a blind
ing snow storm. He was somewhat
chilled and entered the bar room
where he remained while Wilson put
the team in the stable. After waiting

Stone Cabin During the wait the
two men are declared to have been
drinking freely.
The horses were somewhat high
spirited and Wilson, fearing that
MeKelvey would be unable to handle
the animals. drove them about the
station for a few minutes. While
making a turn the tongue of the
wagon snapped.
This angered MeKelyey and the
two engaged in a wordy war. Blows
followed and the men were engaged
in a fight when Thomas Wilson
OF Manhattan arrived in his automo-
bile. He separated the two and it
appeared that the trouble would pass
over.
Suddenly the fight broke out
afresh and it is stated that Thomas
Wilson took a revolver from Nc
Kelvey. McKelvey then started for
his wagon where he secured a shot
gun. He discharged one barrel in
the ground, but the second charge
was fired with the muzzle pointing
in the direction of Wilson. The shot

from Wilson's back, and several

FOODS TO AVOID IN CA
TARRH.

The foods that tend most to
produce catarrh are cane sus-
ar, cooked cereals, fine white
bread, rice and whole wheat
bread. Apples tend to correct
the catarrhal condition. One
who 10 especially predisposed
to catarrh should avoid the
foods named as favoring Ca
tarrh and eat an apple daily.
1t Is also beneficial In many
cases to drink a pint or moro

brisk walk and no food eaten

and three sisters, besides a host of
other relatives and friends.
He spent the greater part of his
life in this vicinity, except few
months in Northern Minnesota and
the last seven years in Detroit as a
switchman on the Michigan Central
railroad. He was an industrious and
careful workman and had the conf
dence and respect of his employers
and fellow workmen.
About a year ago his health failed
him, and since that time he has not
been we'll except about three months
in the fall of 1912, when he seemed
much improved and hopes were en-
tertained of his recovery. About
Thanksgiving time he became worse,
and failed rapidly, till the end came
February fifteenth.
The funeral was held at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Alt Wiley, sister of
the deceased, Tuesday at one o'clock.

XON-SMOKERS LEAD
High School Test Gives Interesting
Data for Comparison

During the first semester of the
high school work, Superintendent +.
Z. Ellsworth made careful tabula-
ton of the work of sixty boys, forty
two non-smokers and eighteen smok-
ers. In making this comparison the
few who have been i'll or out of school
for any cause have not been counted
in the test. A passing mark condi-
-tional on a second examination in
any subject was esteemed a failure
in making these statistics. The eigh-
teen smokers took sc subjects, passed
in 3s and failed in %. The forty-two
nonsmokers took 16S subjects, passed
in 141 and failed in 27 From these
figures it is readily see that the
smokers passed two and one-ninth
subjects per pupil and the nonsmokers
three and fve-fourteenths subjects,
showing that the nonsmokers did
over fifty per cent better work. Also

Speaking on this subject "This

Bruske delivered strong appeal in
Hope church last night for the build
ing of a hospital in Holland. DIR.
Bruske urged the congregation of
Hope church to take the initiative in
! this work. He declared that Hope
church is representative of Holland
population, since people of all classes
rich and poor, Hollander and Ameri-
can worship there He suggested
that the church should give site for
that purpose without spending a cent,
namely by giving the lot on the
church property facing Tenth street,
back of Hope church This, DR..
Bruskc declared would be an ideal
site.
Moreover, Dr. Bruske declared,
Hope Hospital would be an ideal
name for the institution. He said
Hope was an ideal name for a coll
lege and church, but there was an
added significance in the word for a
hospital.
DR.. Bruske strongly urged the peo-
pie of Hope church to take the initia-
tive in this work.

Women waste 20 per cent OF the
food products she said, "and they
spend 90 per cent of every dollar a

today is for them to discover where
