MRS. |. {. MORGAN

After an illness Of over a year,
Mrs. L. E. Morgan passed peace
fully away at 2:3O o'clock this
morning. The coming of the Mes
senger was to her a sweet release
from pam and suffering.
Mrs, Morgan was born at New
Melford, Connecticut, November
81, 1887, and lacked 8 months and
6 days of reaching her 77th year.
In 1869, she came to Elko aud this
has been her home. Coming from
hardy Now England stock, she
stood the inconvenience and priva-
tons of the early settlers with
fortitude. 1t might be sail Of her
that she was part of the state.
Mrs. Morgan WAS essentially q
home woman. Her home was her
kingdom and there she ruled with
all the grace and sweetness Of q
queen. Though she did not mingle
in society, she enjoyed the COM
pany of friends and always had a
CHEEKY word and smile for those
who visited her.
The last year of her life she was
an invalid. During those weary
days and nights of suffering she
had the constant rare and atten-
tion of her husband, now 80 years
of age. While her death leaves
him to travel the remainder of his
life's journey alone, he would not
bring her back to, suffer as she
suffered for the past year.
A son, Frank Cogswell, residing
here, beside her aged husband
mourn her loss. Back in the town

MINER ELECTROCUTED
At NEVADA HILLS

Ora Weston, aged 26 years, a
resident of Fairview for about. a
wear, was e~lectrocuted on level No.
Two, of the Nevada Hills workings
at about l:45 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, says the Fallon Standard. His
task of mine motorman, whereby
he handled electrically operated
ore cars, necessitated his presence
about the wires in the mine work
ings, which carry 440 volts. No
one saw the fatal shock inflicted
but when found a few minutes fol-
lowing the accident which resulted
in instant death, it was apparent
that in working about his task and
in an unguarded moment, the
back OF his neck had tooched a live
wire. Undertaken w. F. Ksiser
brought the body to Fallon Sunday
and it is being kept here pending
the receipt nj word from relatives
in Colorado regarding it's DISPOSE
tion. This death is the second in
the Nevada Hills workings to result
from electrocutiun, q similarly fatal
accident occurring in the mine
about a year ago.

given to tinted States By both
England and Germany. the North
sei add the English channel are both
sown with these mines. The navy
department. statement is as fol.
lows:
There r three types of mines
in use.
First, the anchored contact mine,
which is a mine anchored in a
definite locality, usually a channel
way where ships must pass through
to attack. These mines explode
when any vessel strikes one and
therefor must be accurately chart
ed in order that ships may be pilot
ed in and out of a port without
danger. Such mines are held at a
depth Of fifteen OF twenty feet
from the surface of the water by a
certain amount of reserye buoy
ancy. They are charged with vary
ing amounts of high explosive, de-
pending upon their size, and may
contain as much as son pounds.
Second, anchored controlled
mines. These mines are generally
similar to the contact mines ex-
cent thai they do not explode ca
contact, but are exploded by means
of electric wires from fortified
control stations on shore. They are
usually arranged in groups so that
several r exploded at the same
time. Since these mines are ex-
ploded only at the will of the op
orator IN shore, innocent ships can
pass over them without danger.
These mines can be planted long
in advance Of hostilities.
The anchored mines must become
Ineffective if they by accident come
adrift from their moorings.
Third, floating mines are gener-
ally of much smaller size and are
sown in the probable path of the
enemy. lnasmuch as they are alike
harmful to friend and fee they are
made to sink at the end of one
hour, in accordance with the terms
Of the Hague convention.
Mines are generally alike in
principle, although different nations
have different ways of accomplish
ing the same result.

Extravaganza IS
Charge OF Borah
Against Demos
IAssoc1ArED PRESS DIsPATcHl

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept 17-Sena-
tor William f. Borah Of Idaho, in
opening the Indiana campaign of the
republican party, declared tonight
that the democratic administration
practices undue extravaganza.
The democratic party is pledged
in its platform in the most specific
terms" said Senator Borah. Yet
congress already up to this date has
appropriated $1,117,O0O,00O. That does
not include the rivers and harbors
bill, carrying appropriations in cash
amounting to $93 goo Neither
does it include any appropriations
made necessary, as it is claimed by
the war.
The appropriations to date are in
excess of the republican appropria-
tions of the last congress, when the
republicans were in power, by $780,
600, 600. The appropriations of the
present congress, when completed, in
my Judgment, will amount to two
hundred or two hundred and fifty
millions in excess of that which was
denounced as extravaganza.
