B. r. Germaine, a Tonopah ma
chinest, was painfully injured when
an explosion took place in his kitchen
stove. He was engaged in kndling

There is a little hard feeling at the
present time between the State medi-
cal boards of Nevada and California,
all due to the fact that physicians
practicing in this State are not rec
ognized in California, though there
has heretofore been agreement that
a physician holding a Nevada certif-
cate was eligible to practice in Cali
fornia, and vice versa. But recently
the California board has repudiated
this compact.
The Elko Independent calls atten-
ton to the fact that the last Legisla-
ture passed a recall law that =, now
in force. 1t includes within its pro-
visions every public officer within
the State, who is elected by popular
vote. Those who r appointed
when obnoxious to the public can be
reached only by recalling the official
who appoints them to power and 25
per cent of the vote cast represented
by petition is sufficient to start the
ball to rolling and bring about a re-
call election.

Some Of the old laws Of Nepal, India,
were curious. Killing COWS ranked with
murder as a capital offense, for in
stance. Every girl at birth was mar
ried with great ceremony to a beteI
fruit, which was then cast into sa-
cred stream. AS the fate of the fruit
was uncertain. the girl was supposed
never to become a widow. To obtain
divorce from husband a wife had
only to place a betel nut under his pill
low and depart.
In Nepal the day is considered to be-
gin when it is light enough to count
the tiles on the roof or distinguish the
hairs on mans hand against the sky.

TOBACCO BARNS BURN
AS RESULT OF FIRING

Greensboro. Ky. Oct. 11.-Three
fine tobacco barns in Daviess county,
filled with new tobacco. were burned
as Il result of catching fire while the
weed they contained was being fired
1t is estimated that the loss viii! be
$4,000. Practically all of the to-
bacco has been cut and housed The
only complaint heard is that some
of the tobacco is house burning, and
ii has been necessary for the farmers
TO fire it. which is unusual in this
district.
The Green River Tobacco Grower $
Association has decided not to pool
this year. but open a loose leaf ware
house. The same action has been
taken by the Equity Home Ware
house Company. There are already
two loose leaf houses in Greensboro
with a capacity of one million
pounds. II is believed that Ovens

DOOM OF BRITAIN SEEN
IN VICTORY FOR GERMANS

London, Oct. 10.-''The terms OF
peace will be that the dominant
spirit of militarism which has per
verified every talent of the German
nation will be crushed and broken
so that those who come after us shall
be free from such terror"
This was the concluding. remark
of a speech delivered this afternoon
at New Castle by Viscount Haldane
Lord High Chancellor, at a meeting
to influence recruiting.
Viscount Haldane claimed that
Great Britain was fighting because
it was a sacred duty. He paid
tribute to the great qualities of the
German nation, but said it had been
prostituted to military uses and this
war was to end that spirit of mill
tarism. He continued
IF Germany should annex Bel
GUM and crush France and annex
Holland and check Russia, then this
country would be doomed. Rather
than see that accomplished I would
see the British Empire perish hon
orably.''
