There is story connected with the
Russian prisoner who is shown here
in the custody of Teutonic captors.
Before the war the prisoner was
known as Madame Mario Mako, the
wife of a Russian junior officer. When
war was declared she changed her at
tire, cut her hair and joined the army.
All the rigors and hardships of the
different campaigns and the trench
life did not bother her in the least
and her sex identity was a secret to
all but herself Then she was cap
tured and along with the rest of the
prisoners turned over to the German
sanitation corps. All the prisoners are
forced to go through the disinfecting
station, where they battle and have
their clothing disinfected When
Madame Malkos turn came the truth
leaked out.

NOW FOR A CITY
ENGINEER.

engineer.
NOW that Elko has voted the sew
er bonds the first thing to do is to
decide on an engineer to superintend
the repair work.
All seem to be agreed that the mis-
take made in putting In the present
system was in not having a nan to
see that the contractor performed his
work properly.
We learn through our mistakes. Any
man LIS liable to commit an error. But
the wise man never makes the same
mistake twice.
It does not necessarily follow that
because the town has voted thirty
thousand dollars for sewer PURPOSES
all this money need be spent.
The first thing is to hnd out what
Is needed. Leave the matter to a COM
petent engineer to say whether the
old sewer should be repaired and ex-
tended or a new W put in.
Elko is a very healthful town. The
one thing needed to keep 1t SO is a
good sewer system. It is always poor
economy to impair ones health for
the sake Of saving a few dollars. What
Is true Of the individual applies t o the
town as a whole.
However, before any work is done
We must find a market for the bonds.
1t would seem that there should be
little difficulty In finding a purchaser
for bonds backed by the assessed
property value of q town like EIko.

n WAR DEMAND
FOR HORSES.

THE past year We have been ship.
ping horses to Europe at the rate of
$4,000 a month. This is almost 400.
900 for the year.
These must come up to q certain
standard. The other day q large ord.
er for horses was turned down in Salt
Lake because the size demanded was
not to be had.
Even here In Nevada the country
mas been 30 well combed that there
are no more wal horses left.
But Europe has something yet to
learn. 1t isn't the big horse that al
ways makes the best mount. The
small wiry western horse will often
outlast the big eastern thoroughbred.
The governments last estimate of
horses in this country for 1914 was
over tWenty-one million. This shows
that only about one horse in nifty
meets the tests of the army buyers.
The prices r all right. But Eu.
rope Will have to revise its specihca-
tons II the war lasts another year.
The buyers will again be going over
the land and accepting the smaller
horses that have once been rejected.
In Denver fifty cowboys are con.
stantly employed breaking horses to
go 10 Europe and there Is a wild west
show In progress all the time.
Horses that a few years ago would
have gone begging at fifty dollars now
sell for 5000. And 1t looks very much
as II prices would go still higher II
the war lasts through another winter.

LEPRoSY's
REPORTED CURE.

BEFORE there was history there
was ltprosy. Egyptian tombs yield IN
scriptions showing that the disease
was ut work forty centuries before
Christ. There are records OF its raw
ages In the Nile region in 1900 B. c..
In The middle ages the principal
towas OF France. England, Germany.
Spain and other European countries
had their leper-houses. Holbein
painted in 1916 A. D. his terrible pic
ture OF st. Elizabeth giving aid to
a group Of lepers.
Suddenly, and In a way mysterious
ly, leprosy faded out of the greater
part OF Europe. Today II is in Spain,
Portugal, Norway, Iceland, Southern
: Russia, some Baltic districts and parts
OF the Mediterranean region. Chiefly
1t Is conspicuous through Asia and AT
1fca. But 1t has been carried into
Australia and Hawaii by the Chinese,
and Its Hawaiian gains, despite the es-
Enlistment Of the isolation colony at
Molokai, have been pronounced. In
the United States there were eleven
deaths from leprosy in 1912.
These facts are pertinent to the
claim that Dr.. Mercade of the Philip
pines has discovered a cure for lep-
rosy, and the news that he has dis
charged twenty.three patients made
well. Experts In America regard these
tidings with hopeful interest, reserv.
Ing positive opinions until the arrival
OF clearer details as to the treatment.
As to chaulmoogra oil, the essence
derived from an Indian plum tree and
used by DR.. Mercade, 1t is not new
in the treatment of leprosy, but has
been regarded rather as a relief than
as a remedy.
'Veriication Of the claim from the
Philippines will set forth a triumph
for human helpfulness In glad con-
trast to the examples in destruction
presented In warning Europe. And to
one of earth's newest nations It will
be peculiarly gratifying to find that
one Of Its proteges has conquered
what is perhaps earth's oldest disease.

THE HAS
A GUESS COMING.

THE Carson Appeal in It's issue of
yesterday contains an article concern
ing the candidacy OF Sam Plat for
the United States senatorship, in
which the following statement is
made:
Plat himself owns the Carson
News and though 1t is under lease
he will direct its policy: his
friends have bought the Gazette,
so that Will be for him; and the
story m from Elko that the
Independent will at the proper
moment declare its preference for
Sam.
The Independent has always held
the Appeal In high esteem, and we
cannot account for its giving publ
cation to this silly statement regard
ing the Independent. This paper has
consistently supported the Democratic
party for forty.seven years., and any
intimation that II contemplates for
saking that party now is political rot.
Whoever 1t was that started this story
Is a prevaricator of such ~stupendous
calibre that he would make Ananias
appear like an amateur.
That the Appeal may not remain in
doubt we will state hat the ~Independ-
ent will be found giving its whole
souled support to the democratic nom-
lice for United States senator. The
policies of President Wilson have our
complete sympathy and Endorsement,
and We will support for the legislative
branch Of u national government on
ly those who will support him and
hold up his hands.
