The House did a wise thing Thurs day when it passed an act authoriz- ing the Governor to proclaim seasons of drought during the open hunting season and to prohibit hunting during such a period. This is similar to the Massachusetts law and last year, with its numerous forest fires that greatly increased after the hunting period opened showed the necessity of cloth ing the governor with the power re- quired to safeguard woodlands.-Bris- tol Press.

Women's Health
 Requires Care

Women are so constituted as to be peculiarly susceptible to con- stipation, and their general health depends in large measure on careful regulation and correc- ton of this tendency. Their del- icate organisms rebel at the violence of cathartic and purga- tive remedies, which, while they may afford temporary relief, shock the system and seriously disturb the functional organs. A mild laxative is far preferable and, if properly compounded, much more effective.
 The combination of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. CaldwelTs Syrup Pepsin, is ideal for women's use. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 452 Washington St. Monticello, Ills.

 A number of efforts have been made in the past to obtain informa- tion as to the cause of fires but they
 all resulted in absolute failure. In
 one case the police were sure they had l case against one man, yet he was acquitted in the upper court because of lack of evidence, although 1t seemed as if about the only thing that l was lacking was the admission of the
 man himself. The firemen have been or so and if any of the calls were pre- arranged and the fires were set it would be a fine thing to know and to have the guilty parties punished New Britain Herald.
 1 That the city meeting is stil1 an as- set worth while, was proven by what happened at old Turner hall last Tues | day night. The city meeting on that
 occasion rectifed the mistake made | by the common council in cutting the library and fire department appropria- 1 tions. The chief argument made in
 favor Of abolishing the city meeting
 was that New Britain had out-grown | such a system of municipal govern i ment. It was said that no hall would 1 be large enough to accommodate the
 citizens if a meeting to decide upon g.
 matter of importance was called. This | talk was misleading. A city meeting may be called in a manner that would | permit of referendum vote at the polling places. This would entail some | expense, but 1t costs nothing to retain l the power vto call such a meeting, if
 occasion should demand it. The idea

WELL-KNOWN ELECTRICAL
MAN VISITS THE CAMP

Mr.. N. K. Cooper, of San Francisco,
representative of the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company,
accompanied by Mr.. 7. R. Landsbor-
ugh, electrical engineer of the Tono-
pah Extension, were in the city on
Monday. They were travelling by auto
to Tonopah, and while here Mr.. Coop
er, who is acquainted with the district,
was busy looking after the interests
of his company, which undoubtedly
in the near future, will install num-
Der of electrical appliances in differ
ent plants in contemplation on the
various properties being worked. The
Westinghouse people supplied much OF
the machinery to the Ludwig teaching
plant described in our last issue. Mr.
Cooper said that there was every in
dication of healthy revival of interest
in the development of the copper mines
in the Yerington district Mr. Cooper
will soon again visit Yerington. The
interest shown by large institutions
like this is the strongest indication
that it is time to prepare and be ready
to take advantage of the opportunities

LIQUOR CENSOR"

r. d. Mason, liquor censor" by vir-
tue of his appointment by the
City Council, has reported that on his
first day of work he had sent back
to brewcrics thirty barrels of beer out
of sixty received in Mason City, Iowa.
He is compiling a list of the thirsty
population of the city and expects to
see that they do not overdo their
liquor orders. "Onc barrel or three
cases of beer and one gallon of whisky
is as much as any one man should
have in one month without a ply

well not to go into the history of this

STAG PARTY AT MASON

An informal stag party was given
by Attorney Milo Lang and Vernon
Petersen at their apartments over the
Mason Valley Drug Store to num-
Der of Yerington people last Tuesday
evening Among the guests were Su-
perintendent Cook of the Copper Belt,
Chris Petersen, the electrician for the

entertainment consisted of discussion
of the conditions, progress and well
fare of the county, a piano recital,
songs, stories, Refreshments and the
general good fellowship of congenial
crowd prevailed. Mr. Cooks songs,
stories and "reminiscences were especi-
ally entertaining and the party dis
persed at a seasonable hour, we pre-
sumo because the married men had to
go home and the unmarried and those
whose wives are at the exposition did
not wish to wear out the cordial well

THE UNIVERSITY

One-fifth of the students in the Uni
versity of Nevada last year were from
California.
Out of 400 students enrolled in all
the departments, colleges, short
courses and summer schools, III were
from States other than Nevada and of
these 80 were from California More
over GO of these students were taking
the regular four-year college courses
in arts and sciences, engineering and
agriculture.
The significance of this outside en-
rollment, and more particularly from
from California, is that the University
of Nevada is becoming recognized
factor in Western educational circles.
And why should it not be? 1t is
| just about the right size for the best
instruction any student can get; name
ly, close contact with his or her in
structors. Moreover, the equipment
for imparting knowledge is modern in
every sense, and the University fac
Eulty is recognized everywhere as an
exceptionally strong one.
1t is the place for Nevada young
men and women to get their college
training. That fact is emphasized in
the story of the success of the U. of n
Alumni. The University opens August
30, and this years attendance is ex-
pected to surpass all past records.

FEAR RE|CNS
ON FRONTIER

Action by the federal government in
response to the appeal to President
Wilson made by Governor Ferguson
of Texas, who asked for an increase
of troops in the lower Rio Grande val
ley, was awaited by officials who so
far have not been successful in fully
combating the depredations of bands
of Mexican ranch raiders who in the
last several days have caused the
deaths OF nearly a score of persons in
this section Governor Ferguson in
his appeal declared the situation was
perilous and grave and was doubtful
of the ability of the State forces and
local officers to longer control the sit
uation.
Citizens of Brownsville and other
border cities did not agree that the
troubles were due to political feuds in
this section. Considerable evidence
seemed to be brought forward that the
raiders were organized into several
bands working under the plan of San
Diego, NOV ement started year ago
at San Diego, Texas, where resolu
tons were passed declaring for wrest-
ing from the United States a strip of
territory along tic border to be added
to Mexico
While the situation was expected to
be partly relieved with the arrival in
this section OF the third battalion,
Ninth infantry. sent from Laredo yes
terday, expressions of officials gem
orally were that it would require more
soldiers to suppress the movement
The zone of the operations OF the
raiders was widened to a large extent
in tac last "a hours. although few
additional reports of the depredations
reached here. The latest meeting of
the raiders with troops was reported
Fl ON Katherine, 80 miles north OF
Brownsville, where a ban dof 80 or
more Mcxicans attempted a daring
raid on the one store of TIE town,
They were frustrated in the attempt
by dozen United States soldiers sta
toned in the store, who fired on the
bandits, injuring two it was believed.
No reports came of further killing
since those of Monday. when 10 per-
sons were shot and killed.

GOOD CITIZENS

and spent much time at the exposi-

COO German citizens in the big parade

greatly improved in health, though
during the earlier part of his visit he
suffered considerably from the chill
rains that prevailed on the coast. In
speaking of the parade, though it was
an occasion in honor of the German
Americans, the Senator said: "You
should have heard the crowds cheer
the Irish in the parade" The remark

they spring Mr. Reymers was not

that soldiers in considerable numbers
were crossing the border from Mexico
to join the alleged revolutionary
movement.
Governor Ferguson in his appeal to
the President, declared that any un-
usual occurrence now would cause a
disastrous invasion OF Texas from
Mexico. That reign cf terror" ex-
listed on the border, was the declara-
ton of the Governor.
Three more Mexican outlaws have
been added to the list of killed in bat
tie near Mercedes, Hidalgo county.
1t was not reported whether soldiers,
county officers or rangers were in the
fight. Officers have adopted a policy
of refusing to give details of fights in
which they were concerned. This is
said to account for the lack of con
tirmation of a report that eight other
Mexican bandits were killed in Hidal-
go county since Friday.
