The short courses for farmers and
housekeepers offered by the College
of Agriculture, University of Nevada,
for November /, 1915, to March 4,
1915, have been postponed to Janu-
airy 10, to March 20, 1916. This change
has been made to accommodate the far
mers and the boys and girls from
rural districts.
In the last few months those who
have applied for thdke courses have
requested hat they be allowed to en-
ter the work either in December or
January, as it would be impossible
to be in attendance for the entire
period.
Ten weeks each yea is about all
of the time they will devote to the
short course work and the most. suit
able time during the academic year
is from January 10 to March 20, 1916.

Alloting Lands to
Nevada Indians

John Fl. Anderson Of Washington,
whose official title is examiner of in
heritance for the Indians, is at Stew
art Indian school conducting an ex-
animation which will probably result
in many Indians in this section OF
Nevada being allotted plots of govern
ment land upon which they can make
a living.
Land was awarded the Indians a
number of ye.rs ago, but it was SO
unproductive, in fact, so barren that IA
rabbit would have nard scrambling ~
exist, that the native would not live
on it. Complaints made to the gov
eminent relative to the p~aucity of the
land have had their e%ffec-, SO it is
now likely that those to whom tne
land was first given and in the case
Of their death to their heirs, will now
be given land on which they can raise
sufficient provender to keep them
alive.

Supposed Killer
Returns to Schurz

The latest sensation in the fatal
ending of a fight between Frank
Weber, assistant engineer on the
Walker river irrigation project, and
DR.. Frank ]. Mckinley, sup%erintend-
ent of the Indian reservation SelWrz.
on "Wednesday afternoon, which re-
suited in the death of Weber, was the
return, yesterday morning. of DIR. Nc
Kinley to the scene OF the ttagedy.
No charge has been preferred against
him.
DR.. Mckinley had little to say
about the fight, but he ~claihas he was
not responsible for Neber's death.
1t is generally conceded That the
fatality was occasioned by a fall or
by heart disease. An autopsy prob
ably will be necessary to determine
the cause of death.
The fight between the two men was
the elimination of several months of
i'll feeling, which was brought about
by a difference of opinion as to the
authority to be exercised by each.
Wednesday this difference resulted
in an order from DIR. Mckinley for
the arrest Of Weber. A fight resulted
and in the melee Weber was injured.
When it appeared that his injuries
were serious, DR.. Mckinley fastened
to his side and did everything in his
power to aid his whi1om enemy. His
efforts were unavailing and Weber
died two hours after the struggle.
When death came DIR. Mckinley
jumped into his auto and was believ-
ed to have been seeking asylum in
the mountains.

ity in the absence of her church, she
affiliated with the Methodist at Fl eb-

church at Dancy, Ala, of which she
was a consistent and appreciated MEM
Der at the time of her death. She will
be missed in the church where her love
for Christ and many talents rendered
her valuable helper; in the social cir
Gle there is a missing link, and in the
home, like a harp that is unstrung and
sends forth no more sweet melody to
cheer; her kind and gentle voice is
hushed, and only sweet memories clus-
ter around her cherished name. The
promises of God are eternal, and we
know beyond this "vale of tears" there
is "House of many Mansions" where
the "Saints of all ages in harmony
dwell" Though teardrops are falling
for her who has gone to the tomb,

"She is not dead, but sleepeth."
The shades of nightfall had softly
lowered DER the beautiful city of Mem

six on Sunday, Dec. 9Th, 1915, when
Mrs. r. W. Powell breathed her life
out swee.ly there. When stricken with
Pneumonia, her son, w. +. Skinner was
called, and he fastened to her bedside

stupor, but. on being aroused she knew
him and, in a faint voice, asked for the
loved ones at home, after which she was
too i'll to take further notice of any
thing.
Oblivious to her surroundings. the
grief of her devoted child, she knew
not her beloved grandson, Robert Earle
was with his father as the hours pass
cd, and her hold.on-life grew weaker
and weaker, until the frail tie was
riven, and her spirit went to the God
who gave it. In that still chamber the
watchers heard not the tread OF Angel
footsteps as they gathered round her
couch, and gently lulled her into that
sleep "from which none ever wakes to
weep"
The anxious ones at home were Gag
or for daily intelligence from her, each
message brought no ray of. hope, and
the fatal news came Sunday night.
Relatives and friends went to the house
of mourning, and tehderly ministered
to the disconsolate husband, giving him
every evidence Of that loving pity that
comes alone from a truly sympathetic
heart. That sympathy extends, to the
bereaved son and family; the desolate

ID wife and mother was lowered to her
narrow bed. When all was over they
left her under the snowy blossoms by
the side Of the husband of her youth,
and their infant son, in that silent city
Of the dead.
Mrs. Powell was born in Abbeville,
South Carolina, July 9th, 1913. Her
parents, DR.. VIM. and Mrs. Frances
Sanders, were people of prominence,
having descended from an honorable
ancestry Augusta Louise was one Of
six children of the family group. Charles,
Edward, Floreid, Jennie ann Kittie, all
of whom have passed one by one to the
Beyond except the last mentioned.
DR.. Sanders moved to Newman, Ca,
while she was yet child and there she
grew to womanhood and received her
education, which was thorough and lib
eral. Her attainments were superior,
ideals high, and her elegance of man
ner and personal comeliness were mag
netc, drawing to her many admiring
friends.
After the death of her father the
family came to Green county, Ala. to
reside, and some time, near the close
of the Civil War, while enroute to visit
relatives she met Mr.. w. L. Skinner,
then a soldier wearing the Grey"
and the romance of that meeting cry
stailized into an ardent affection and
they were married May the 9Th, 1867.
He carried his bride to Mobile, and they
remained there year or two, then
came to Macon. The beautiful boz
that spanned their happy lives gave
promise of a bright future, but it dis
appeared as quickly as the lovely tints
that glow in the bow of the summer
sky. In 1871 the fond young wife was
widowed. and their precious boy orphan
ed. She found sweet refuge in the
time of her trouble in the home of Mr..
Francis Skinner, her husbands father.
and, like Ruth, she dwelt in loving
harmony with his people.
When five years of widowhood had
passed, life held charms for her in a
new found love, and in April, 1876, she
became the wife of Mr.. II. w. Powell.
of Dancy, Ala, gentleman in every
way worthy of her heart and hand. He
was kind and fatherly to her son, and
80 years of loving trust marked the
period of their welded lives. The loss
of lovely niece, Mrs. Zeigler, nee Ida
Ellis, whom thew had reared from ear
ly childhood, gave them much sorrow,
and her memory was enshrined in their
hearts like some rare gem.

The Reformer's Complaint.

Throughout all the West, where
the women are dressed (compar-
ed with New York; circumspect-
ly; where the skirt or the gown
to the shoe reaches down, if a
lady is gowned half correctly,
the reformers, they say, are
lamenting the day; and Of lost
opportunity wailing, while their
Eastern conferes are putting on
airs, and the skirts of knee
length are assailing.
What chance for the prude!
Advertising is good
When the styles-by the devil invent
Pave the way to reform.
And quite call forth storm
OF protest which upon them is vested.
Opportunity knocks
When a fashion thus shock
All our preconceived sense of decorum
There is nothing concealed
With the stockings revealed
A reformer just cannot ignore 'em.
In the West one must wait till
the styles emigrate, and till then
the reformers so jealous will have
to mark time before of this crime
(of the knee length) they kindly
can tell US; but the day may yet
come when with beating of drum
the reformers may yet get their
innings, and rave at the wiles.

other dear feminine sinnings,
