The State Fair management de-
sires to announce that, in addition
to the racing program and other
attractions, they have secured the
famous high diving horses and
sensational show of Doctor Carver,
which will give dairy exhibitions
during the entire week of the fair.
The exhibition of DR. Carver's div
ing horses is pronounced to be the
greatest and most sensational show
of it's kind in the world, comprises
acts so startling and stupendous
sights as never yet beheld, new SELL
Bations sparkling with originality
and defies all attempt at comp ii
tion or rivalry.
Animals taught to dive from a
platform from fifty to eighty feet
in height into tank of water only
eight feet in depth seems too mar
velous for belief: there will be one
leap each day from the platform fif-
ty feet high with a yonng lady
astride, Miss Lorena Lorenz, a
beautiful young lady known in the
middle states and California where
this exhibition hoo boon preson1ed,
sElSthe "girl in Red" will risk her
life on the Intelligence of a dumb
animal. The horse, true to his train
ing shows human intellect in his
preparation for the dip of possible
death.
This same attraction will be in-
troduced at the California State
Fair. After the exhibition in Reno
they will entertain the people of
Fresno county during the session
of the county fair, and those who
have witnessed these great acts
performed at other places pro-
nounce them to be wonderful and
should not be missed by any one
who can find it convenient to attend
the state fair.
The management also announce!
that there will be q very large
exhibition of live stock of al
classes, nearly every section of th'
state will he represented by n e.
hibit Of some kind, it has become
necessity for the construction O.
many more exhibit stalls to accom-
modate demands already at hand
The pavilion exhibition will ais,
be an interesting feature, all spac,

Several counties have been 9ivel

ladies living throughout the stat
have been received by the Pavilio

SLAMS WOMAN IN EYE

Louis Samuelson was before
Judge Castle today for assaulting
and battering one of "Bee" Bar
ber's pretty eyes which last night
had the hue of charcoal. The facts
in the case as related by "Bee" was
that Louis came to her house on
the south side of town and after
talking to her a minute just up
and slammed her one. Louis ad-
mitted he hit the woman but said
she was some kicker and he hit her
in self defense.
He got so days in jail.

Deceived by the Title.
In the titles of books lie at times
pitfalls for the unwary. An almost
classic example was afforded by John
RuskIn when In 1851 he wrote short
pamphlet on the text, "There shall be
one fold and one shepherd" This.
which treated of the reunion of the
Protestant churches, was published as
"Notes on the Construction of Sheep
folds"-a title which. appealing rather
to the agricultural than to the cleric1'
mind, insured a brisk circulation
among farmers.

A GOOD PLACE TO STAY AWAY
FROM.

The recent decision OF the supreme
court making ~"cornering' a criminal
~ofense. together with the investiga-
tons OF the Pujo committee. appear TO
have frightened the governors OF the
New York stock exchange. As a con-
sequence. resolutions have beer adopt
ed providing penalties for carrying &C
counts without adequate margin: for
the improper use of a customers Sc
curities and for dealings contrary To
Just n equitable principles OF trade"
BY inference. all three of these acts
have previously been committed on
the stock exchange without interfer-
ence. All of them are manifestly
wrong. both legally and morally. so
we may justly conclude that questions
OF right and wrong have not previous
ly been considered by the board OF
governors.
The fact is that the stock exchange.

point for the legitimate buying and
selling OF stocks and bonds. has de.

posures have thrown considerab bic
light on this subject and il is prob.
ably with 4 view 10 self preservation
that the governors are becoming sue.
denly converted 10 such laudable NOR.
al principles.
Whatever else it may accomplish.
the passing OF these resolutions should
be a warning TO every sane man and
woman 10 shun the New York stock
exchange. The improper use Of a

that may be stopped. because OF the
legal penalty. but II dealings con

past. they viii continue 10 be. IN spit,
OF all the resolutions that may be

The state OF Nevada will soon cease

The Ease with which divorces could
be obtained there long ago became n
scandal in Nevada. and the only ap-
parent reason for that states long
tolerance OF such a condition was the

courts. the lawyers. the hotelkeepers
and the storekeepers. That this rev

that there are about six hundred di.
