Strange Disease Kills Bees.

The bee men of this valley are con
siderably exercised over a strange
malady that is destroying hundreds cf
stands of bees throughout the district
Harry Warren, one of the largest
honey shippers in the State, is heavy
loser up to date. He cannot tell what
the trouble is as no work on bee cu1-
ture seems to fit this case. The bees
will go out apparently well in tie
morning and come back full of honey
and drop dead. Mr.. Warren has sent
number of dead bees to experts to
see what is causing the frightful NOR
tality The outlook this season was
good for splendid honey crop until
this strange malady began to play
havoc with the swarms, but now it
appears that the bee men will be lucky
if they save few stands of bees, let
alone producing any honey.

prised when there arrived at their
home little daughter on Tuesday

at the home of Oscar Ferrans lit
tie daughter without any serious mis-

The next flight the long-legged bird
makes over this district he had better

Bum Mail Service.

The manner in which mail matter
now gets from Yerington to Hudson,
Wellington and Ludwig reminds one
of carrying Goals to Newcastle" A
letter mailed here on certain date
to go to any of the above named
points goes first to Wabuska, on the
same date, then back from Wabuska
to Mason, on the same date, where
it is held over until the next day be
fore being taken to its destination. 1t
is roundabout and inconvenient
route and delays mail considerably
between points that are only l8 to rs
miles apart We have always under
stood that the government did not
forward mail backwards-that is, send
it to point further away from it's
destination before starting it to its
destination. If this is the case there
is chance for an Inspector to get
busy on the route referred to.

Eagles Will Fly.

The Eagles of Yerington Aerie will
flap their wings and fly high on the
night of June Is. There are between
thirty and forty candidates to be init
lated on that night and the Aerie has
imported goat from abroad that will
be equal to the occasion. The candi-
dates are from different sections of
this district and if June Is, 1914, does
not prove to be a memorable night
in the history of Yerington, especially
in the minds of some people, we will
have made very poor guess.

promises to be most profitable one.
During the meeting it transpired
that a hattering offer had been made
for a portion of the compayn's hold
ings, l. e., the Imperial group After
considerable discussion it was thought
best, considering the presnet fatter-
ing condition of the company's treas
ury, to refuse to sell any of the com
pany holdings at the present time.
T. H. Woodbridge, of Chicago, was
in attendance at the meeting, repre-
senting eastern stockholders. He had
spent a week or more at the mine in
vestigating the property and its de
velopment, and returns to Chicago
with very high opinion of its actual
merit
Owing to the activity displayed by
this company and the nice showings
made quite an inquiry for mining
property in this locality is being made
and it is said that some strong fnan-
cial interests are trying to secure GER
tain holdings in the vicinity of the

SECOND LECTURE
GIVEN ON SUNDAY
France and the Marseillaise
Theme of next Address at
Broadway Church.

"It is the fundamental position of
France in the present war that she is
| fighting for the principles of liberty
and republicanism against the princi-
pies of militarism and Imperialism
represented by the German empire"
This is the hypothesis upon which
is built the argument in the lecture on
France and the Marseillaise," which
will be given at Broadway Presbyter-
ian church on Sunday, at the vesper
service at 4:30 Rev. J. +. Wilson will
deliver the address, which is based on
material furnished by the American
institute of social service, and which
will be well illustrated by the use of
stereopticon pictures. The case of
France, in relation to the war, will be
presented in its various bearings, as
was done for Germany last Sunday.
The mems class of the church is
handling these special vesper services
for a number of Sundays, in an effort
to spread valuable information, and
also to increase the church attendance
The members cordially invite all men
and women to attend and enjoy the
excellent programs that are TO be
given.

gress on the work. much depending
on the settlement of the difficulties.
This morning Mayor II. NJ. Schriver
received word from Mr.. Schneider.
business agent for the Boilermakers'
union. that the Rock Island Bridge
and Iron company OF this city. which
secured the contract for the Job. had
sent a half dozen non-union men on
the job TO finish it.
All that is yet to be done on the
tank proper is to erect a railing
around the top and steps leading up
10 II. Tie roof is practically com
plete. 1t would require but short
time to complete the job. not more
than several days at the most.
The mayor informed Mr.. Schneider
that he would take the matter up with
the Bridge and Iron company. and
hopes to arrange amicable settlement
OF the trouble so that the work will
be completed Immediately and the
tank in use.
Finish In Ten Days.
Mayor Schriver stated this morning
that in about a week OF ten days. pro-
viding that the labor troubles did not
hamper the progress of the work on
the tank, that il would be in use by,
the city. At present work on install
ing the connections is being accom-
plished.
These are being installed under the
supervision of r. W. Sharp. superin
tendent of the waterworks. Gross con-
nections are being made so that dur
ing big fire downtown pressure of
from 10 to 12O pounds NAV be at the
disposal OF the fire department indefi-
nitely.
The connections are so arranged
that water may be pumped from the
clear lake. or what is more commonly
known as the storage basin. into the
tank. which will hold 100000 gallons.
Under normal conditions there is but
a pressure of so pounds in the mains.
But in case of a fire this can be in
creased. Two pumps can be used in
pumping from the clear lake into the
tank. The elevated tank gives the
pressure.

The officials were just about ready to
congratulate themselves that every.
thing was progressing smoothly when
the announcement came that trouble

Three months ago the trouble was
OF a serious nature. The boilermakers

ion labor on the job. This trouble
was later settled and the work has
