NEVADA WOMEN SECURE
GOOD LAWS

Although the recent Nevada legis-
lature, which was not elected by the
women, foisted wide-open' gambling
and divorce laws on the long suffering
people before women could get a
chance to vote, the members did pass
certain laws as sort of sop to Ger
berus.' These laws, which were back
cd by all the women s organizations of
the state, headed by Miss B. M. Will
son, chairman of the legislative com
mittee Of the Nevada Women's Civic
League, are as follows:
A change in the inheritance law, Civ
ing to the mother independently the
same share as to the father in the es-
tate of deceased child, whereas here
tofore il all went to the father; the
kindergarten bill, providing for estab-
lishment of kindergartens in all com
munities where there are twenty five
o. more children of kindergarten age,
upon petition of parents; mothers pen
sions; teachers pensions; and modi-
fieation of the capital punishment law
which amounts to its practical aboli
tion.

MAUDf ADAMS AT THE
NIXON THIS EVENING

When Maude Adams revived fPeter
Pam three years ago she did so mere
ly with the intention of presenting it
at occasional times and places. But
she soon discovered that in the interim
since she had laid aside the work a
lot of people had sprung up to whom
it was new And these people made
the play so successful that she was
forced to conine all of her time to it
for two years. The actress is now
having the same experience with her
revival of equality Street, in which
she is to be seen at the Nixon opera
house this evening. There has been
such a demand for this comedy that It
has pushed all of the other plays in the
repertoire of the actress into the back
ground and it is to be her only offering
during her western tour. The play IS
laid in rural England early in the
century when England and
Germany were allied against their
common enemy, France. Now things
are different
Indications are that there will be a
capacity house, as the advance sale has
been unusually large.

who is known best by his "Bush
Leaguer" baseball stories in the Sat
urday Evening Post, is spending few
days in Carson City. He is accompa-
MED by w. w. Bacon, of Los Angeles.
Mr. Van Loan is not tenderfoot,
but appears to be able to put up with
just about as much of the Western
life as the Westerner would care to
show him. He is here for the purpose
of gathering local color for new stories
and is carefully storing the details
away in his Uranium for future use.
He will remain in Carson City for
several days and intends making trips
to Virginia City, Gardnerviiis, Wood
fords, Bodie, and many other places
that will furnish data for the few mil
lion readers of the Van Loan stories
and articles.-News.

HARD LUCK

He had prophylactic bent,
And led a sterile life;
Had hygienic children and
A sanitary wife.
Lived in fumigated house
And wore aseptic suits
Ate gerInicidal food and smoked
Denieotined cheroots.
His milk was always Pasteurized,
He drank denatured water;
He ne 'er forgot to swat the flies,
Mosquitoes he would slaughter;
He screened his doors and windows and
His office disinfected;
Against microbes of every kind
He felt himself protected.
He exercised; he slept by rule,
And timed his every breath;
His health was excellent and he
Defied disease and death.
Els plan was admirable, no doubt,
But twas his measly luckl
He went and got run over by
A ten-ton motor truck

OLD TIME TRAGEDY
OF RUBY HILL

1t happened in Eureka, Nevada,
about the year 1882. Jim Anderson of
Louisiana Returning Board fame, WIS
engaged in the publication of weekly
newspaper on Ruby Hill, about two
miles from Eureka. He wrote some-
thing that offended the principal of
the public school at Ruby Hill, man
named George Cheek, if recollection
is not at fault. George and Jim met on
Main street in Eureka, and George
got hold of friend he was walking
with and held him tightly in front of
him as a shield, and began to empty
his revolver into the body of Jim. Jim
tried to run around so as to avoid hit
ting the shield, but George held him in
front all the time, and kept shooting
until Jim fell, and he died from the
effects of his wounds. Jim never fred
shot. No trial was ever had The
Virginia Enterprise published the news
or the shooting as it was received over
the wires, and George W. Baker, father
of Ray Baker, the q. s. Assistant Am
bassador to the court of Russia, acting
as attorney for George, sued the Enter
prise for $4,000 damages for publica-
tion of the item, claiming it was libel
Gus, and the Enterprise owners COM
promised the suit by paying $2500 to
soothe Georges wounded feelings, be-
ing the only wounds he suffered.-Car-

SHOOT TO KILL" ORDER
rs ISSUED TO GUARDS

Shoot to kill,' says the order is
sued by Warden Dickerson to the
guards at the state penitentiary. This
sanguinary order followed the mount
ing of gatling gun on the north pris-
on wall. The gun is capable of firing
six hundred shots a minute, and has
been so placed that it commands every
section of the prison yard.
Escape would be virtually impossi-
bic for any prisoner once the gun were
trained ON him and the firing meehan-
ism started.
The gatling had been in the state po-
lice armory, but Warden Dickerson,
who is also superintendent of police,
took it out and FURNISHED it up, pre-
paratory to placing it in position on
the prison wall.
