tanned the suggestion. Senator PoindeNter

70 as "doctored" by Senator Lane.

the north side Of the Eggers' prop
erty. Mr.. Jacobs objected to the
hole being dug and the employee
quit. Jacobs then filled the hole
and put q chair over it and sat
down, The boss of the gang came
along and ordered the employee to
dig the hole, but Jacobs held the
fort. The boss then took the chair
and lifted Jacobs off the hole. In
doing SO Jacobs claims the loss
struck him. He made a complaint
before Judge Castle and the boss
was arrested on the charge of as
sault and battery. He gave bonds
in the sum of 500 and his trial was
set for 2 o'clock tomorrow.
An application for a franchise to
place the poles in Court street is
pending before the commissioners
and will not be heard until July
9th. 1t seems that the company
did not want to wait that long and
Commissioner Patterson was asked
several days ago to give the COM
pany permission to proceed with
the work. This, we understand,
he did subject to the action of the
commissioners on the franchise.
On this rather fiimsy authority
the company went ahead.
The claim is made that the pole
by the Egger's property is only Sd
feet from the fence and is in the
sidewalk. The north fence of the
EgRers' property, and 10 fact. that
along the north side of the whole
| block is several feet in the street.
If the fence was on the north line
of the Eggers' property, where it
should be, the pole in question
would not be in the sidewalk.
While we would like to see all
the telegraph and telephone wires in
town put underground. we know
that 1t will be a long time before
that is brought about. Until this
is dene, we do not believe any
damage will be dom to the town
or to private property by the Bell
Telephone company stringiDg. its
wires on poles in Court Street.
We think, however. the company
should have waited until the fran
hise was granted.

NEVADA TUBE MILL PEBBLES

The OPP .rations at the quarry on
the west slope of Rslston valley,
between Manhattan and Belmont,
close to the old Belmont wagon
road, distant 8 miles from Man
haitian and about 40 miles south
west from Tonopah, is taking on
business like proportions. At pres
ent the filling of a contract for a
tube mill pebbles for the Tonopah-
Belmont mill to be utilized in the
making of a series of close tests to
compare the efficiency between the
local product and imported Danish
pebbles is occupying the attention
of Omer Maris, owner of the quar-
ry says the Manhattan Post.
At the quarry two miners are
employed breaking AMI cobhing the
Gint.like rock the average tonnage
broken by the msn being two and
one-half tons per man for each
shift. The rock is then fed into~a
species of home made tube mill and
after Icing shaped down by the
bearing on eacn other, they are
then ready for use in the ordinary
tube mill practice.
The minimum price in Tonopah
for the imrorted Danish pebbles,
purchased by the ship load is from
$50 to S38 per ton, and the con-
sumption for the Tonopah mills
alone is from 100 to l25 tons per
month. A oproximately the same
tonnage is used by the Goldfeld
mills so that with all indications
pointing to the local pebbles being
as efficient as the imported ones, a
lucrative trade undoubtedly will
shortly be in force and the tube
mill Of Tonopah and Goldfield be
supplied with home product exclu-
sively, the same as the Manhattan
mills have been for the past several
months.

A NEW EXPLOSIVE IN WAR

A remarkable new explosive call.
ed trotol-gclatine. was recently
tested in warlike maneuvers near
New York with astonishing results.
The particular feature of this K
-plosive is that while it has all the
power Of 80 per cent dynamite, it
can be burned without exploding,
and a csnno shot or bullet will
not cause it too explode. 1t can be
discharged only by means o. a fal-
inmate of mercury cap.
Soldiers carving sticks of this
explosive carried them right to the
works of a supposed enemy, in this
case a stone wall, placed them on
the ground and retired. The ex-
plosion which followed demolished
the wall. Three sticks Of this
wonderful explosive lifted a tree
two feet in diameter clear out of
the ground.
IT is stated that these tests are
preliminary to adoption Of the ex-
p~losive by the Government and if
they meet with official approval it
will be brought into active use in
the event of operations in Mexico.
Dynamite is SO treacherous in its
operations that military authorities
of all countries have adopted other
explosives for use in a None IF
these is entirely satisfactory. Tro-
tcl-gelatine gives promise of prov.
ing the thin1 for which this nation
has searched.-Exchange.

LAST LAP OF
PIONEER RAILROADING

The great adventure in govern
ment railways in this country is at
last afont. The president has Sc
lected three engineers who are to
locate the thousand mile of railway
across the Alaskan peninsula. The
men named are not of nation-N ide
reputation in the engineering field,
hut Jointly, they present a certain
fitness for the work which they
have in hand, says the editor of the
Engine ring News. One is of long
experience as locating engineer on
railways of the mountainous west,
the second has spent years in the
survey of the subartic north and
the third has served practically his
entire engineering career as engi-
neering and administrative head Of
the only government railway. Thus
they bring a composite experience
in railway location, acquaintance
with local conditions and familiar
ity with government ad inistra.
ton, the three requirements for
success in this particular venture.
If they a fuse their individual
attainments into a unified control
the success of the prelimlnaries to
government railways in Alaska is
hopeful. Meanwhile many of their
professional brethren will envy
them their opp rtunities in this,
the last great pioneer work on til is
continent.

DONE when
SCHOOL IS OVER

No more study after school hours
is the news from Chicago, and is
a happy New Year, says American
Medicine. If this is to be the re.
suit of placing a woman in charge
of that city's education, why in the
name of common sense de we not
have women superintendent every
where? At the same time we must
confess that the worst offenders in
overtaxing little tots with home
work" are the women teachers in
the lower grades.
Towards the end Of a day the
normal child is in a condition of
physiological exhaustion. If we
could examine its brain cells mi
croscopicallY we would find them so
changed as to be unable to take up
the strains. 1t is a well known fact
that in such q condition any effort
to learn is either impossible or &C.
complished at an undue expense of
energy, resulting in pathological
exhaustion which 81 fp does not
relieve. The child becomes neuras
THEME in time unless it neglects its
work and is called a bad scholar.
The early evening is story time
for the very reason that children
are then so tired that a restful
position sni a fairy tale are about
8 Hoar to haave ly hiss IS anyone

more teachers were mothers they
would not be sn ignorant of the
needs of these e babies. 1t can
also be stated as an axiom that the
immature brain cannot be trained
or stuffed more than three or four
hours a day. Mrs. Young of Chi
cage, who is instituting the new
system, says that when a pupil
leaves school for the day his WORK
will be completed, just as when q
man leaves his shop or his office
his work is DONE"
She deserves q niche in the

the day when children never carry
