GOOD ROADS.

Some good measures have been
introduced in the present legisla-
ture, among which is the highway
bill of Assemblyman Russell, Of
Elko county. 1t provides for a
road commission in each county,
and gives this commission full
power to construct and repair
roads in the respective counties
of each commission. There is
nothing that improves and adver-
tises a community, district, county
or State so well as good roads.
There are many, however, who dc
not know how to construct roads.
and very often much money i.
spent with poor results. Road
can be built cheaply in this State
and in Lyon county particularly
But roads should be built with a
view of permanently They SHOULD
be on grades, turnpikcd, with {;
good foundation which will last
with the minimum of repairs an
nually. The first cost of a goo
road may be considerable, bu
when it is constructed it SHOULD
be very little expense to keep i.
up in good shape. There has beer
enough money spent in Igor
county on roads to have some
good ones, but there are very few
miles OF really god road. 1t never
pays to make such improvements
in make-shift manner. The Rus
sell measure is meritorious one
and should become a law 1t may
need a few amendments, and the
State should lend some financial
aid to each county, but these
change can easily be agreed upon

The inclination of a lot of peo-
pie to adjust other peoples bust
ness is getting to be obnoxious.
1t seems to be an age of inquisi-
tiveness and wanting to pry into
the affairs of those who are max
ing success of their own bust
ness, by people who have been a
success at nothing. This arises
from the jealousies of the ones
who fail to make good towards
those who prove successful. The
failures are inclined to believe
that the successful man or CON
Germ must have some pull, or
graft. This proposition OF com
missions to investigate every
thing and everybody, from rail
road corporation down to pea
nut peddler can be carried too far.
1t can be carried so far, in fact,
as to be injurious to the whole
country and there should be a
halt called on interfering with the
sound business of anya company
or individual.

GIVE US A JUDGE.

If the Lyon County delega-
ton in the Legislature de-
sires to do some good for
the county it should pass a
measure that will give the coun-
ty a District Judge OF its own.
Under the present system Lyon is
sharing her Judge with Storey,
Ormsby and Douglas counties,
and paying over half the salary
that the law provides for the
Judge whose jurisdiction takes in
the four counties mentioned. This
is not exactly square deal to start
with, and when it is taken into
consideration that Lyons bust
ness sometimes goes neglected for
the sake of the other counties, it
makes the situation still more dis
agreeable.
The arrangement as it now is
does not give satisfaction all
around at all times because two
or three counties in the jurisdic-
ton are at any election able to put
some man in this position who
may not give satisfaction to the
other county, or counties. We
are not intimating that there Is
any dissatisfaction with the pres
ent Judge of this district, so far as
Lyon county is concerned, but If
it was the wish of the other coun-
ties to give us somebody we did
not want they have it in their
power to do SO.
The business of Lyon county is
growing and we do not see why ii
would not be just as cheap for her
to have a district OF her own and
elect a Judge OF her own selection.
Lyon, as above stated, is paying
over half of the salary of the
Judge of this district-a little over
5000 per year. If Lyon was to
be made a separate judicial dis
trict she could probably get man
for the position at salary of, say
$500 per year. This would be,
perhaps, 81 200 more than she is
now paying, but with a Judge OF
her own Court would always be
in session and legal cases would
be facilitated to a degree that
would more than make up for this
extra expense.
OF course there can be no seq
regation of the district that will in
any way interfere with the term
OF the present Judge, but this leg
islature could fix things so that
at the coming general election we
of Lyon county could have man
of our own choosing for a Judge.
There is some little talk of max
ing Lyon and Churchill counties
separate judicial district This
would probably be cheaper than
the present arrangement, but if a
change is to be made it would
seem that the better plan would
be for Lyon to ask for district of
her own.

footman.
the day was set for the robbery. The
morning dawned warm and bright-just
the sort Of weather which would make an
invalid widow feel like venturing out to
transact little business.
l had not seen Bigelow and Meaney
since the night before. They had called
then at my rooms to go over our plans for
the last time. Bigelow was to engage the
attention OF the bookkeeper who would
be left alone in the bank after the cashiers
departure while why little Johnny Meaney
made his way through the side door and
got the money.
At few minutes past twelve my car
rage drew up in front of the bank. Two
or three Of the officials were just going
TO lunch. If nothing unexpected had hap
pened TO change the banks routine the
cashier and one bookkeeper were alone in
the counting room and the coast was clear
Through my blue glasses I could see
Tom Bigelow's big form swinging down
the street as unconcernedly as if he had
not care in the world And from the
opposite direction, although I could not
see him, felt positive that Meaney was
on his way to carry out his part in our
crime.
The footman Jumped down and stood at
attention while fumbled in my bag for
one Of my black bordered cards. With
hands which trembled naturally enough TO
give the last touch of reality to my feeble
appearance l handed him the card and
TREMENDOUSLY whispered nv Instructions
He bowed respectfully and disappeared in
side the bank
Would the cashier be good enough to
step outside and discuss little matter Of
business with a lady who was unable to
leave her carriage?
The cashier is very sorry but he IS ex-
tremely busy and. as he is practically alone
in the bank just now, 1t will be impossible
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-06-15

for him to leave his desk. Can't the lady
arrange to step inside for minute?
Before the nervous footman has time to
explain that the lady Is cripple and can
not leave her carriage. the cashier has
taken another look at the card, has recog-
nized the name and realizes that 1t is the
widow Of millionaire who is waiting out
side for an audience with him.
"Oh. beg your pardon" he says ner-
vously: the light is SO poor here that
could hardly see that name. Tell the lady
that will be out directly"
AS the footman walks out to report to
his mistress that her wishes are going to
be fulfilled. the cashier hurriedly changes
the linen jacket he wears at his desk for
a solemn frock coat, gives his scanty hair
q quick part and calls to the bookkeeper
to look out for things while he is gone.
All this time l am sitting primly there
In the carriage lying as hard as I know
how to live up TO the dignity OF q million

something is going to happen to disarrange
our carefully laid plans.
But, the next instant. am relieved to
see the cashier coming toward me all bows
and smiles. And as he comes out of the
bank he almost brushes elbows with Tom

In the prison cell, to which he was sent

new methods in bank sneaking" inst as
Mark Shinburn did in burglary. He was
the trst to conceal n pair of tweezers in
the END or his cane and use them to pick
up bundles of money which were beyond
the reach OF his arms
ms cane was really wonderful device
10 all appearances 1t was only fine
straight piece Of bamboo, nicely polished
and fitted with an ivory handle-the sort
OF walking stick any prosperous man
might carry.
Only when you unscrewed It's heavy
brass ferrule was the dishonest purpose
for which it was intended revealed The
bamboo stick was hollow, and in it were
two narrow strips of steel which dropped
down below the end of the cane and could
be operated like tweezers when you re-
leased the spring, which was concealed
under heavy band Of solid silver just
below the handle.
When Sheridan was his natural self he
was stout, good looking man of dignifed
presence and refined manners who would
readily pass for a well-todo merchant or
manufacturer. But when occasion required
he could change his appearance so that
even his closest friends wouldn't recog-
nize him.
Once when he was arrested in New York
he effected in his cell in the Tombs a
transformation which mystified the author

the ground of mistaken identity
He exchanged his extensively tailored
suit and fine linen for the dirty rags of

hacked off every bit Of his long flowing
beard. He dyed his reddish brown hair
with coffee grounds and clipped and twist

managed to reduce his portly figure 10 a

This ruse Of Sheridan's failed, however,
through the persistence OF William A.

tive Agency. Mr.. Pinkerton, who had been
on Sheridan's trail for years, identified him
positively in spite of his changed appear

v1cted and sentenced to FIVE years in Sing

And II you escape all these floral perls

Ing from the blossoms pityriasis rosea-a
disease which manifests itself in the most
painful burning and itching all over the
body.
Even the old shoes which dangle from
the bridal couples carriage or clatter on
their carriage roof hold a special danger
in the shape of the germs which produce
the dread seven.year itch.
Included in this damaging attack upon
early Summer marriages, there is an
analysis of the great number of suicides
among those who were married in the
month Of roses. A tabulated list of pos-
ons and other methods used by husbands
and wives bent upon self-destruction is
given with suggestions as to their preven-
ton.
Finally there is a possible explanation
offered why imbeciles epileptics, alcohol
les, paretics, and others mentally unfit
have a tendency to turn their thoughts Of
love to marriage in June. 1t would seem
according to this analysis that certain
bodily functions in this class of incapables
are in allegiance to some extent during the
Winter months. AS soon as the Spring
thaws occur, these persons begin to 60
outdoors, and as a consequence their tbs
sues become more active and aggressive,
and they are stirred to initiate the brute
world Of birds and beasts, and seek their
mates. !
While healthy individuals subordinate
this mating instinct to convenience of
time and money, those whose mental &C
tivity approaches more nearly the lower
animals cannot resist the same appeal
that makes bird build Its nest or bear
its cave in the early Summer. Therefore,
June marriages are almost certain to have

- June has been looked upon as the
luckiest OF mortals-one on whose future
the fates can hardly help smiling. Happy

and other familiar phrases express the
almost universal belief that the woman
who becomes bride during the month Of
June is more certain Of happiness than
the woman who promises to love, honor.
and perhaps obey, at some other time Of
the year
But now comes science with the start
ling announcement that all this is mere
superstition and that, far from being an
suspicious month for matrimony June u.s.
with possibly one exception, quite the
worst in the year.
1t is the French Society for Social Re-
form which thus skaters all our illusions
regarding the desirability of choosing
day In June for ones wedding. Accord
ing to statistics recently submitted by
this society to the Bertillon Bureau In
Paris. men and women who marry in June
are threatened by an appalling number OF
dangers which are entirely beyond the
bounds OF possibility in any other month
except November.
Foremost among the perils which men
ace June brides and grooms, according
to this authority, are the toxic fungi which
fiourishes on rice during the late Spring
and early Summer.
Newlyweds may BIO showered with rice
at any other time Of the year with i'm
punity. but in June every grain that
touches them carries the risk of infection
and is liable TO bring them the worst Of
misfortunes in the shape Of a disagree
able disease.
Although the mould or fungus which
thrives on rice during June is by no means
SO mortal as such near.moulds as the
tubercle bacilli or anthrax. it is capable OF
producing extremely unpleasant effects.
