a signal TO the engineer to hoist TO

YOUNG HOBO ASKS FOR
FOOD AND STEALS WATCH.

Speaking of base ingratitude, there
was a Ease in the justice court Tues
day morning that brought out the
fact very clearly. says the Elko Free
Press. Monday night a young man,
a mere boy. who gave his age as Is
years. approached the night cook at
the Hotel Mayer asking for some
thing to eat. He was taken to the
basement and while the cook VAS out
of the room getting him a meal the
young fellow went through the coat
of the generous hearted cook and
stole a watch and other small be-
longings. Next morning the loss was
discovered and the officers notified,
who soon rounded up the thief, who
had the watch in his possession. He
was taken before Judge Castle who
gave him three months on the chain
gang. He gave the name of Bert
Gougeon, and the officers believe he
Is at least Is years old.

after realizing the situation. The
cage was stopped and then lowered

Donatelli was taken to the engine

w. C. Humphrey, who died April 8,

the oldest Mason in Nevada, as he
had beer a member of the order for
so years, but he and his wife were
comparatively recent members of the

ceived by a committee of the East
ern Star, who accompanied the re-
mains TO Mrs. Gilbert's home.
Mrs. Humphry, before her mar

showed she was born in Indiana in
stead of Illinois, October 2. 1888.
She removed to Illinois as a child
and came across the plains to Austin.

to a cataract for which she left her
home in Manhattan to be treated,

the past eight years has been a resi-
dent of Manhattan and beloved by

two women struggled with the man
and both were thrown. The women
commenced screaming and the brute
made his escape, never having
spoken a word. A number. of the
citizens who we're on the main street
rushed to the aid of the women and
made a search of the locality with
out finding the culprit. The women
testified that they noticed the odor
of liquor upon the fellow and they
believe him to be drunk. Liter In

Constitutional Amendments Explained
The fifth Of the series of arguments
on the measures to he submitted to
vote at the coming election was
to-day issued by Secretary of State
Cornelius Roach, Those wishing to
vote inteIligentiy on Amendments
Nos, five and six should preserve
this article, The sole purpose in
giving these arguments is to furnish
information to the voter, and the
secretary OF state is in no way re-
spsnslhle Tor assertions made ON
either side of any subject discussed.
The champions of Amendment No.
5 give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
This amendment applies only to
st. Louis and Kansas City, and its
purpose is TO give these cities the
power by a two.thirds majority of
their qualified voters to issue bonds
to an amount not exceeding 5 per
cent OF the value of the taxable
property therein for the purpose of
constructing or acquiring subways
and their appurtenances for the
transportation of persons, baggage
express and freight. and for pipes
wires and cables used for public ser
vice purposes, to be owned or operat-
ed or leased by the city. Because
of the rapid growth of these two
cities in size and population and
the congestion of traffic in their busi-
hess districts, ii will be necessary
for their traffic to be handled by
subways as in other large cities, to
relieve the congestion in the business
districts, and to provide for rapid |
transportation to outlying portions |
Of the city. Because of the large /
sums involved in the construction |
IF such subways, private capital has
been slow to invest in them and
hey must be constructed with pub
lie funds They can be leased to
private enterprises for an amount !
sufficient to pay the interest and |
provide a sinking fund for the bonds. !
The reasons given by the oppo-
lents of Amendment No. 5 why it |
'hould be voted down are as follows
If this amendment is adopted. the
'eople of the state will have confer
ed on St Louis the power to in
.rease its debt-makine power to buy
" build a subway for traffic. Taxes
n ST Louis for city purposes are
Ilready higher than a mad ca s
'ack. and every time the subject Of
axes is mentioned the average st

d with the amount his country /

metropolis has made great progress
the past century without subway
and will continue to flourish without
morteagine its people and future
generations for an expensive project
not at all necessary.
AMENDMENT NO. 6.
1 The champions of amendment No.
9 give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
Road districts should haye the
authority to obtain money by a di-
rect levy upon the property in the
district for the purpose OF making,
improving and maintaining he roads
in the district.
Amendment No 6 seeks to confer
upon each road district in he state
the authority to accomplish the pur-
pose above stated. Ii should be
adopted for the following reasons:
CD ROADS CAN NOT BE MADE
AND MAINTAINED WITHOUT
MONEY. The constitution. as il
now stands, does not provide for a
levy in road districts for road Dur.
poses, This amendment provides a
simple, direct way of raising the
money and places the burden UPON
the taxpayer in the district in pro-
portion to the amount If property
ne owns in said district
CD 1t places the matter of rails
ing money for road purposes and
the matter of making and maintain
Ing the roads in the districts abso-
lutely IN the hands of the people in
the district In other words it gives
the people of the district the right
TO attend to their own affairs in the
matter of building roads. If this
amendment is adopted the people of
each road district will be given the
right to elect their road overseers
and to transact their road matters
much in the same wav the school
districts transact their school mat
ters.
The reasons given by the oppo-
nents OF No, 6 why it should be voted
down are as follows:
This amendment ought not be
adopted because it creates new and
ways of levyinp taxes
The constitution as il is affords
ample means for raising taxes for
all necessary and legitimate purposes.
lust because good roads are q good
hing is no good reason for going
hog wild on the subject. Too much
money now raised in the name of
sood roads goes into road overseers
md Others pockets instead of on
he roads. We already have too
many road laws. Let us cut off
ome of the expenses for inspect
ne this, that and the other and
i'd the money thus saved to the
registration fees for
roads with funds raised by
he state.
