GOOD LADY PASSES TO REWARD
Venerable and Highly Respected
Pioneer Lady Passes to Reward
After Long Illness.

A good lady esteemed by all who
knew her,a devoted mother and wife
over a period of more than half a
century, passed to her reward short
ly before noon Monday, when Mrs.
w. r. Lee was called by her maker.
Death resulted from an illness that
had kept her bedridden since last
September, during which time little
hope was held out for her recovery,
though at times she rallied. Through
out this long period, when pain
racked her body almost necessarily
Mrs. Lee was cheerful and gave
words of encouragement to those
about her, as was characteristic of
of this fine womanly character.
The recording of Mrs. Lees life
has to do with another of the noble
pioneers, whose early efforts made
possible the building Of society in
this state, to which she immigrated
as mere girl. Born In Lancaster,
Fairfield county. Ohio, October goth,
1874. she resided there with her
parents and moved with them to
Keokuk county, Iowa, from where
she came west to Nevada by OK
team in 1862 at the age of 18 years.
That she was one of the indomitable
ladies of tie days of the argonauts
is proven by the fact that she took
her turn with her brother in driving
OK team across the plains in the
wagon train which they accom-
panied.
Settling first in Dayton, this state,
1t was there she gave up her maiden
name of Sylvia Ann Kinkaid to be-
come the bride of w. R. Lee on Oc-
tober goth, 1863. Local people will
recall the golden wedding celebra-
tion of the venerable couple held last
October, when the relatives and
friends partook of the family hos
pitality. Mr.. and Mrs. Lee moved to
Inyo county. Cal, following their
marriage and resided there for two
years, when they moved to Green
field, Esmeralda, now Yerington.
Lyon County. They remained there
until 1882, when they moved to this
county. settling at st. Clair, where
they remained upon the ranch.
which she assisted In building. until
a few years ago when they sold the
old home place and moved to Fallon.
She is survived by the aged hus-
band. This estimable pioneer was
the mother of ten children, seven Of
whom are now living: d. A Lee, Of
Sacramento, Mrs. F. w. Inman, of
Hazen, S. c. Lee, R. E. Lee, Mrs.
Bishop Ferguson, c. H. Lee and w.
A. Lee, all of this place.
At the time of her death decedent
was aged SO years, two months and
25 days.
The funeral services will occur at
the home on Taylor street, at one
o'clock this afternoon, and will be
conducted by Rev. e. l.. Spaulding.
| The remains will be accompanied to
their final resting place in Fallon
cemetery by the o. e. s., and other
friends of the family. The East
ern Star will hold lodge ceremonials
at the graveside All friends of the
family are invited to be present at
the funeral services.

mails to defraud as a result of the ex'
posure of medical quackery in this
city by a newspaper, drank poison
and died at his home last night. He
left a note blaming the paper for his
death
Shortly after the coroner received
notice Miller had committed suicide,
Frank w. Taylor, city editor of the
paper that is handling the crusade
against the quacks, was threatened
with death in two telephone messages
from persons who blamed him for
Miller's suicide.
Three of the best known advertising

yesterday in the crusade against
quacks and medical takers.
A mass meeting has been called by
the st. Louis Medical society for Fri
day night, when victims of quacks will
be invited to submit their complaints
and have their cases diagnosed free of
charge.

uses much advertising space in two
local papers, is accused of fraud and
of having been an ex-jailbird.
His mail, it is alleged. was stopped
several years ago under federal fraud
order, but under a new name he has
been receiving it regularly.
Several patients have made affida-
Wits Lloyd treated them for diseases
they didn't have.
DIR. Ira A. Allison, another heavy
is held on charge of fraud,
and DR.. Charles c. Greenfield. classed
as a quack, was arrested by federal

Roxbury. Ohio. -" When my little boy
was two weeks old he began breaking out on
his checks. The eczema began Just with
pimples and they seemed to itch 50 badly
he would scratch his face and cause \
matter TO run. Wherever that matter
would touch. it would cause another
pimple until IL spread all over his body.
1t caused Disagreement while IL lasted.
He had fifteen places on one arm and
his head had several. The deepest places
on his checks wero as large as q silver
dollar on each side. He was SO restless az
night VIC had to put mittens on him to keep
him from scratching them with his finger
nails. He could not sleep because 1 put
those mittens on which would not allow him
TO scratch and then no would wake up and
be cross. If he got q little too warm at
night Il seemed TO hurt badly.
I'VE tried q treatment and he didn't get
any better. He had the eczema about three
weeks when we began using Cuticura Soap
