SAVAGE AND TIGER
AT NIXON NEXT WEEK

The most exciting and thrilling
photo drama that Mr.. George Kleine
has ever produced in this country is
his latest success, Between Savage
and Tiger magnificent six part
production by the Cines company of
Italy. 1t presents story of adven-
ture and romance in the jungles of
India that fairly bristles with action
and keeps the spectators in constant
state of feverish interest and en-
thusiasm. Tigers, water buffalo an
telope, savages and all the other wild
elements with which the jungles of
India abound are utilized in rounding
out a consistent tale of gripping in
terest. 1t is the first big production
that Mr.. Kleine has imported and H.
lustrates the versatility of the Cines
company. According to all accounts,
no animal, jungle or adventure story
that has thus far been seen in this
country can compare with Between
Savage and Tiger This remarkable
is to be seen here for
the first time next Wednesday, April
|, at the Nixon opera house. The en-
will be limited to one night
only. The prices will be adults, 35c;

BIG SMELLING CO4.APANY
SUBMITS ANNUAL REPORT

At Boston Thursday American
Smelling & Refining reports opera
tions for the year ending December
81 was as follows:
Gross income, 3,4229 1888; de-
crease, $3,329, 500; net earnings, to-
tai. $l2 l11.40S; decrease, $3.50, ,532.
Total charges. $4,673,392; decrease,
s2,006,431.
Total dividends, $S,020,000.
surplus, $1,736, $40; decrease $1,323,-
1876; previous surplus, $16,7 ,402; to-
tai surplus, s,495,94
Balance after preferred dividends
was equal to 7.47 per cent on 50,000,-
900 common stock, compared with
1913 per cent on same stock the pre-
vious year.
The decrease in earnings noted is
due large to the fact that ores in con-
siderable quantities, mined from
cCmpany's own properties, awaiting
transportation, are valued at only the
cost of mining and will not be given
commercial value until they are
sampled and assayed after arrival at
the smelter.
A large credit of this character has
simply been deferred awaiting normal
conditions

KILLED BY train
AT LOvELOCK

A young man named Douglas Hell
Ter was run over by freight this
morning at $3.50, as the train was pull
ing into the Lovelock yards, receiving
fatal injuries. He was placed on No.
10 and arrived here shortly before
10 o'clock this morning. County
Physician Mangan accompanied the in
jured man to the county hospital and
made superficial examination of the
wounds, finding the left leg complete
ly crushed below the knee and the
right leg broken. As the young man
was eviently dying, and unconscious,
no operation was attempted. The
patient passed awav at 1890 about
half an hour after he was received at
the hospital.
Coroner Dunn summoned a jury.
which viewed the remains and then
listened to testimony. 1t appears that
the young man was a resident of Ida
ho, % years of age, and lineman by
occupation. He had been working at
Sparks, and was accompanied by two
cf his fellow workmen, who stated
that they were bound for Loveloek
and in case they found nothing in
their line there were going through TO
Salt Lake.
This afternoon Coroner Dunn re
eeive a wire. from Ioe Heller, the
Young mans father, residing at Glenn s
Ferry, Iaho, stating that he would
start man for Winnemucca this af-
ternoon to take the body home, and
that all expenses will be paid
The case went TO the eoroner's jury
at 3:l5 this afternoon.

THE PANAMA CANAL AND
FUTURE OF TRADE ROUTES

Recognizing that the audaeious in
reference with the worlds geography
at Panama is matter in which we
cannot wholly help ourselves, it is
surely all the more important that we
should help ourselves where it is pos
sible to do so. We cannot prevent the
serious alteration in trade routes and
relative trade advantages, which the
engineers are surely accomplishing.
We can help in the matter of seeking
TO preserve or enlarge our American
market. The San Francisco exhibi-
tion will be a great event for the
whole of the American continent. IL
wiQ be visited by buyers from every
American state. 1t will be mean
holy thing, indeed, if at that exhibit
tion il is made to appear by British
neglect that the British commercial
flag has been hauled down. After all,
there is such thing as commercial
prestige. | hope | am not lacking in
ability to see both sides of question,
but | confess that l never approached
a matter which seemed to me so one
sided as whether or not we should be
well represented at the Panama ex-
hihition.
Britain is, of course, great Ameri-
can power. There are Canada and
Newfoundland on the north, there are
British Guiana and British Honduras
in the north of South America. In all
the Americans we have enormous com
mercial interests.
The cutting of Panama will make
the relations between many parts of
America much more intimate in flu
ture. and America will, of course, pos
sess peculiar advantages for dealing
with other parts of the great conti-
nent when her two seaboards become
practical purposes one. Unless due
British enterprise is shown, we may
easily come to be frozen out of these
rich markets.
In the past, let us not forget
America has presented us with com
merce and shipping which she ought
t. have possessed. She has pursuet
restrictive commercial policy whie'
has DESTROYED her ocean saippirg ars
frustrated her exports. Lest vcar =
changed her high tariff to moder.
ate tariff. and in 1915 the Panama
canal will be opened. That VIII I'M
doubtedly mean that America will re-
gain what she ought never to have
lost, and as we have been the Chief
gamers by her folly in the past, so we
are likely to be the chief losers by
her change of policy. These eonsid.
erations are of grave Importance and
they all serve to enforce the same
moral, that we can afford to lose nc
opportunity for exhibiting enterprise
in America. G. Chozza Money, Nj
r., in London Chronicle.

Grant, was yesterday denied decree
IF divorce sought on grounds OF de-
sertion, against Elizaoeth Chapman
Grant. whom he married in 1880 in
San Francisco Judge Somers in the
District Court at Goldield denied the
decree, declaring that the refusal of
Mrs Grant to leave her home in order
to live with her husband in hotel did
not constitute desertion. Contest was
made against the suit by Mrs. Grant,
who, with her two children, Chapman
Grant and Mrs. Nellie Pigott Cronan,

WILL IMPROVE
WESTERN PACIFIC

Rumors of extensive Improvements
10 be made at this end of the West
ern Pacific railroad, and the fact an
nounced yesterday by President Ben
jiamin +. Bush of the allied lines, that
Nice-Presient Eward l.. Brown has
been sent to this city to take up per-
manent headquarters. have served to
inject much optimism into local trans
portation circles, says yesterday
San Francisco Chronicle.
President Bush will leave today for
Santa Barbara, having spent two
days in this city. He says that the
S25,000,000 note issue of the Missouri
Pacific will be taken care of and that
the Denver and Rio Grande is paving
up every cent on the interest of West
ern Pacife's bonds and has $4,000, 900
in free assets
as every other railroad company in
the country is doing at the present
day. Everybody is aware of the gem
eral financial condition of the coun-
try. There are not six railroads in
the country today that can sell their
stock at par. We are holding our own
ana we are waiting.
On the whole President Bush con
sidered the Western Pacific not at all
in serious straits. II is rather weak
financially, perhaps, but not danger
ously i'll. He said he believed the
pendulum was beginning to move into
the field of prosperity. The Western
Pacific needs money and just as soon
as it can get it, which he believes will
not be very long, there are going to
he some big improvements along the
line, the principal part of which will
he at the San Francisco end
We have big property here,
valuable property said he "'We
realize this and we are going to de-
velop it,
In connection with this statement it
j. significant that the holding rail
road company considers this end of
the Western Pacific of such import
ance as to send Edward L. Brown.
vieepresident and general manager,
to San Francisco to make his per-
nanent HEADQUARTERS here instead of
Denver and will place an assistant in
Denver Brown is considered one of
the broadest and ablest of the com
psny's officials. He is in this city
now having arrived with President
Bush.
While President Bush refused to
make any definite statement, and de-
clared that any promises now would
he premature, he nevertheless did give
the reports current in railroad circles
some degree of authority that as soon
as the Western Pacific can raise the
money it win begin Immediately ex-
tensive improvements on this end of
the road.
According to President Bush the
earning power of the Western Pacific
railroad under his administration has
largely increased through betterments
in service conditions and new traffic
alliances which will bring it large
volume of business the coming year.
During the past six months more than
- 100000 has been spent in replace
'aents.

In the case of DR.. G.. u. Hall, charg-
&c with manslaughter of Mrs. Owen
through wilful neglect while attend
ing her in childbirth, both sides rest
ed upon the opening of court at 10
clock this morning. A recess was
taken to permit the Court and oppos-
ing counsel to settle on the Judge s
charge to the jury, but it was 1880
clock this afternoon before this was
accomplished
Court convened for the afternoon
session at O'Clock, when District At
torney Callahan summed up for the
State. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress, Judge Robins, for defendant,
waived argument. Judge Ducker then
charged the jury, which retired at
1925. Twenty minutes later the jury
announced that it had reached a YER
diet. As none of the parties to the
case had left the courtroom, the YER
diet was soon announced, as above
stated.
1t is understood that but two bal
lots were taken, the first standing
nine to three for aequittal and the
second unanimous.
The verdict was anticipated by the
public, for the principal reason that
when SaIter & Robins had finished
their cross-examination of the State 3
witnesses, there was nothin~ left of
an discriminating nature against de
fendant. There were three physicians
connected with the case, DIR. Hall hav-
ing been first called and dismissed two
or three days after accouehment. The
public generally, as well as the jury
no doubt looked upon the matter as
fight between doctors, attempting to
shift responsibility.
