Nels Darling Stands For
Welfare of Home
Town

Every man in this town who believes
In spending his money at home will
enjoy and indorse the things Nels
Darling will tell the people Of this
community when he appears here the
third day of the assembly. And those
who do not spend their money at home
when they could do so are the ones
who should hear him. Many towns
owe their clean streets. their public
improvements, improved trade condi-
tions. the good fellowship between the
business men and the farmers or their
good roads or their harmonious rela
tions among their own merchants to a
talk they have received straight from
the shoulder by Nels Darling. He has
done more to save the small towns
from the destructive influence of the
mail order houses than any other one
man. and every community can afford
TO hear him and take his advice. Z

DELIVERING RADIUM BROMIDE
TO DENVER MINING BUREAU

Secretary Lane the other day an
nounced that the second delivery of
radium from the plant of the National
Radium Institute, being operated by
the bureau of mines in Denver, was
made to the officers of the institute
1t consisted of 800 milligrams of ra-
dium bromide, having market value
of approximately $4,000. This delivery
of radium bromide is a small fraction
of the radium extracted from the first
240 tons of ore treated in the expert
mental plant first erected. The crystal
lization of the radium itself has not
kept pace with the extraction from
the ore owing to the impossibility to
obtain certain special apparatus from
abroad which is not manufactured in
this country. Deliveries will be grad
ually increased until they are equal
to the capacity of the combined plants,
which is approximately three tons of
ore per day.

The Story Beautiful. !"
a Chautauqua Mas
terpiece
This Classic Makes Appeal to the
Senses of Sight and Hearing.

"The Story Beautiful" is a classic
from the standpoint Of art, oratory and
musical attainments, and yet. because
OF its strong appeal to all classes who
will hear and see it. this number on
the coming assembly deserves to be
called popular entertainment
Because of its uniqueness it is diff
cult to give In a few words an ade-
quate conception of it.
One of the most brilliant, powerful
and dramatic speakers, Father Patrick
j. MacCorry of St Mary's cathedral.
Wichita. Kan. has woven a thrilling
lecture about series OF unusual views
and reproductions of famous paintings.
Many of the paintings shown are by
the master painters Of the world and
are hidden far from the eyes of the
curious How Father MacCorry Sc
cured them Is not a part of this story.
but II may be said that there are few
who could secure permission to copy
them. and the coloring of the slides is
wonderfully well done. They are as
beautiful as the originals and far above
any slides commonly shown.
While the pictures are being shown
Father MacCorry gives his lecture.
No orator has more musical tone or
more dramatic intonation. and while
he speaks a single ray of light reveals
his features against black velvet
curtain the speaker as well as the
picture being shown, which is an ex-
elusive feature with this lecturer. At
times nothing can be heard but the
gentle music Of the piano, and this
may be followed with the rich tones of
that great baritone, III. Ruthven Mac
Donald of Toronto, who presents Sc
lections from oratorios and other classic
music while the audience remains un
der the spell of this remarkable set
ting
Four people are required to present
this admirably combined lecture. re-
cital and showing of famous pictures,
and those who attend will leave with
the, sensation that they have visited
some great cathedral, having been
thoroughly satisfied in a long cherish
ed desire.

MISS WAGNER DE-
CLARED WINNER

The attendance at the annual decla-
nation contest held last evening at the
High school auditorium was good con-
sidering the threatening weather. And
those who came out were fully repaid
for the program was in every way no
to the standard of previous years.
Miss Alice Wagner, presenting "The
First SettlerFs Story" brought tears
to the eyes of her auditors with her
artistic presentation of the pathetic
scenes in that well known selection.
and this, together with her well mod.
ulated voice and easy gestures won for
her a unanimous first place. Miss Wag
ner will represent Winnemucca in
Reno next month.
When it came to selecting the win
ner of second honors the judges found
it much more difficult to decide Miss
Beth Wrede, presenting "The Stirring
Up of Billy Williams" was given sec
ond place. The selection was a diff
cult one, presenting as it does wide
variety of character, and the young
lady won ON her versatility.
Miss Beth Warren, presenting the
well-known piece "Lasca," received
honorable mention. Her grace and dra-
matte force were features of very fa-
vorable comment. Miss Erma DeMotte,
presenting "The New Lochinvar, -
handled the selection in her inimitably
humorous fashion. Her voice and man
ner was almost perfect for such Sc
lection and she carried her audience
with her every inch of the way.
Miss Frances Phillips has a won
derful voice, and its full, round, well
modulated tones found full swing in
her selection of "Mabel Marten. A
little more time placed on manner and
gesture and she will surely be formi-
dable contender.
''Tommy's Prayer" presented by
Miss Marie Cook, was one of the pret-
tiest and most pathetic pieces of the
contest. Give the young lady a prose
selection, thus avoiding the cadences
resulting from rhythm, and her power
is almost unlimited.
Messrs Langwith, Willis and Camp
bell acted as judges and their decisions
were eminently acceptable, for it is
realized that they had very difficult
and delicate task
The musical selections by Mrs. Nof-
singer and Miss Byrket and by the
young ladies' quartette were models of
art and harmony, adding intellectually
to the well balanced program.

MANY NOVEL FEATURES
WITH BARNES BIG SHOW

"The Show That's Different,' is a
term given by many prominent critics
to the All G. Barnes three-ring wild
animal circus. just why this show is
different can be understood when it is
known that the program presented
completely upsets the conventional in
eircusdom for the reason that the en-
tire entertainment is given by educat-
ed wild and domestic animals.
Over 400 of these animalactors are
comprised in the Barnes troupe, the
animals do everything that the human
circus performer has been doing. Jug
Cling, balancing, high jumping and
diving, acrobatics, posing, dances,
drills, ball playing, bare back riding,
tumbling, etc, are a part of the things
they do. Their proficiency is a remark
able sight to witness. The Barnes cir
Gus also bears the distinction of being
the original and largest wild animal
show in the world. The cleanliness and
moral tenor of it's entertainment and
business conduct likewise add to the
reasons of why the show is "differ-
ent''
Unusual indeed are the big wild ami
NAL acts. Tom, Jerry and Brutus,
horse riding African lions, are a very
remarkable example of wild animal
training; Sampson, the aviation lion,
rides to the top of the tent surround
ed by shooting sky rockets. A large
group of ssals and s.t hors dc mar
velous feats of juggling and bareback
riding Mile. Florine, a spritely young
woman, presents a group of ferocious
leopards, jaguars, and pumas. Miss
Mable Stark appears with a troupe of
man eating Royal Bengal and Siberi-
an tigers. Bill Bill, the wrestling
grizzly is another sensation, also the
large group of performing bears.
The twenty-four, Jungle bred, full
grown African lions shown in one act
by Herr. Louie Roth, comprise the
greatest and most thrilling wild AMI
NAL spectacle ever known. Herr.
Roth enters the arena alone with
these great beasts and makes each one
perform. The lions are first grouped
into pyramids, then into piles on tie
floor, the daring trainer lying on the
topmost one. His head is placed on
the inside of snarling beasts mouth;
another eats raw meat held 4 ths lips
of the trainer The daring of the fel-
low is thrilling to an extreme.
The Barnes challenge hprsas anj po-
nies-500 of them-beautiful, all edu-
Gated to perform, present in their
work one of the very great sights Of
modern time entertainment. Ele-
plants, camels, zebras, hyenas, dogs,
goats, monkeys, etc, are prominently
shown.
There are many laughing spots
the program, provided by
twelve rib-tickling clowns md fifty
comedy mules, monkeys, bears, ponies,
dogs and large herd of elephants
The new, glittering, mile long, four
band street parade is presented 20 the
public at 10:30. Two performances Will
be given here on Fridoy, April 30.

PUBLIC DIVIDED OVER
INDIAN QUESTION

Il heard a heated argument in the
lobby of a local hotel this morning,
which recalled to me an incident that
happened in my home town, Portland,
Oregon.
N. F. johnson, publicity manager Of
the Barnes circus, who is in Elko in
the interest of the engagement of the
show here on Saturday, May 1, made
the above remark. Mr.. johnson is
newspaper man ond called at the Free
Press office to say "howdy' to the
pencil wielders.
"The argument was over the ad-
mission to Nevada's public schools, of
Indians. The question of their clean
liness was the bone of contention, and
that bears on my home story Portland
is known as the 'city of roses, and is
celebrated for its civic beauty and
roses. The school children are given
special instruction in these lines, but
in one instance the plan fell down
completely. A pupil in one of the lower
grades was sent home by his teacher
for cleanup, a bath and some clean
clothes. The next morning, upon re-
turning to school he presented the
teacher with a note which read: John

WOULD ROUTE LIBERTY
BELL THROUGH NEVADA

The Silver State is in receipt of a
letter from Governor Boyle, urging the
people of Winnemucca and Humboldt
county to take action towards routing
the Liberty Bell via the Southern Pa
cifc, in order that the people of Ne
vada may be given an opportunity to
see this historic relic. Governor Boyle
says in part:
81 am advised that the historic
Liberty Bell is to be sent to the Pa
cifc Coast expositions ond that a
strong effort is being made to have it
routed over the Southern Pacific lines
through Nevada. If this effort is Gus
eessful arrangements can be made to
have it exhibited in Nevada at the va
rious Nevada towns en- route to the
viewed by a great number of Nevada
people who would highly prize the op-
portunity of seeing it.

AN EDITORS COMMISSION

Says the Litchfeld (Il.) Herald:
Not long ago a man came into this of
flee and stopped his paper because he
said it was always printing a lot of
things about the same people and he
said he was sick of it. Now when some
thing goes wrong with the country the
government appoints a commission to
investigate and find out what is the
matter, and the first thing a commits
sion investigates is the man who made
reasonable holler. So we appoint y
commission consisting of ourselves to
investigate this man. We just follow
ed the mans career ever since we
knew him. The first thing that hap
pened to that man was that he was
born, but he had nothing to do with it,.
However, we mentioned him, although
his parents were entitled to the credit
When he was in his early twenties he
got married. We mentioned that, in
eluding the name of the BRIDE, the
preacher, etc, in fact we mentioned
everything but the preachers fee,
which was not worth mentioning. We
never mentioned the fact that he never
won any premiums at the county fair,
because he never exhibited anything.
We never mentioned his name in the
list of committees, because he never
attended anything. We never mention
ed his name in the list of donors, be-
cause he never donated as much as a
doughnut. We certainly have been
treating this man shamefully, but we
will agree 10 run a nice obituary when
the time comes.

MONEY PLENTIFUL
in MIDDLE WEST

Col. E. r. Place, general manager Of
the Winnemucca Northern, returned
this morning from Chicago and st.
Louis, via Boise, idaho, where he re-
mained for several days. Asked what
was new in the middle west, the Colo
mel replied:
business is picking up and every
thing should be booming before fail.
There is so much money, that it win be
necessary for its owners to engage in
new enterprises in order to keep it
working. They certainly cannot lend it
out at interest, for at present there
are few borrowers. Provided Won have
gilt-edged security, you can secure all
the money you want in Chicago at four
per cent.
The European war has been a god
send for the Democratic party and for
all those people who have anything to
sell. Wheat is selling at $3.50 per
bushel, corn at rs cents, while a live
hog. is worth $40. As long as produce

not leave to visit the San Francisco

the confidence railroad officials have
in the near future, may be mentioned
the new "Scenic Limited put on re-
Gently by President Bush between st.
Louis and San Francisco. These are
the finest trains in the country, and the
six required for daily round trip cost
more than $1,000,O00. They are doing
a fine business, which will no doubt
increase. as the season advances. When
the first of these trains arrived at Pu-

reply, "and without a doubt some

o'Brien Case Goes over

The taking of testimony in the case
of the State of Nevada VS.. w. 5.
O'Brien, on charge of assault to do
bodily harm, was completed in Justice
Dunn IS court yesterday, when an ad-
ojurnment was taken until the evidence
can be transcribed and read to the wit
nesses. This morning the matter went
over until Monday, owing to the fact
that one of the witnesses is out of
town. In the meantime defendant is
at liberty on bail.
1t is thought that the evidence is
not sufficient to hold defendant on the
charge, and in case that view is taken
by the court, new complaint will be
sworn to, charging assault and battery.
