We find the principal roads in

mend that the two bridges over
Otter Creek on the Dixie High
way be replaced with iron brid-
ges and the road straighten at
that point.
We find the county jail in good
sanitary condition, the court
house is in good condition with
the exception of the Commission

that same be replaced with suit

ONLY 60 PER CENT WOMEk
VOTE AT SCHOOL ELECTION

Although 254 women registered es-
pecially for the school election, there
were but that number of votes cast
last Saturday, and this number in
cluded the ballots of 101 men. Mrs.
Annie T. Card received 1s9 votes, hav
ing no opposition. For the short term
Mrs. Mary c. Rose received 1913 votes,
to 125 for T. NJ Patten, her opponent.
Two ballots were rejected on account
of being marked for both short term
trustees, and there were evidently four
who did not vote for either of these
candidates.
The new board will organize on the
first Monday in May and will consist
of J. G. Moore (holdover), Mrs. Annie
T. Card and It. M. Patten
An analysis of the returns would in
dicate that the new voters are not
aligning on the sex issue While there
is no politics in a school election, it
seems probable that the female vote
will be assimilated by the political par
ties.
Returns so far from over the state
show that there have been four wo-
men elected on the different school
boards. Sparks elected one, Mrs Edna
c. Baker; Winnemucea one, Mrs. An
ME T. Card, and Virginia City two,
Mrs J. w. Sexsmith and Mrs H. F.
Geiger.

TOMORROW NIGHTS FEAT
URt AT NIXON OPERA HOUSE

Following is a brief outline of the
story of ".The Wonderful Adventure,
the latest William Fox photoplay. star
ring William Farnum, which viii be
shown at the Nixon opera house to
morrow night:
The downfall of John Demarest, a
wealthy New York contractor, begins
when he becomes madly infatuated
with beautiful mystic, Mazora
dorothy Green.) This woman,
whose evil influence proves the
bitter bane of Demarest' s life, ac-
quaints him with the intoxieation of
powerful drug, to which he become an
abieet slave. Though possessed of sta
ton and a beautiful wife and child,
Demarest fatuously allows the drug s
insidious and sapping delights to
strengthen their hold upon him until
the hours when he is not under its
subtle influence are passed in the arms
of Mazora.
At last things reach a pitch where
the breaking point is near. At this
crisis Demarest meets John Stanley, a
mining engineer from the West, whose
likeness to Demarest facially is start
ling. But Stanley is possessed of a
clean manly soul, while Demarest by
this time has reached a stage where,
maddened by the drugs effects, he
abuses his wife and child. Stanley is
frankly and fatty broke and confdes
his troubles to Demarest, who per
suades Stanley to impersonate him
Demarest-in business and at home.
Demarest then submerges himself ana
abandons the dregs of his life to in
diligence.
In the meantime Stanley is occupy
ing a cruelty anomalous position He
has grown to love Demarest's beauti-
full wife and she, without for an in
slant guessing that he is not Demarest,
vet notices the change" in her hus-
band. Stanley steels himself bravelv
against his love and maintains toward
the woman to whom his heart goes out
the same attitude of neglect that Dem
Arrest did. He never yields to his temp
tation to clasp her in his arms and
press on her lips hot kisses. Instead he
is cold, reserved and distant How
the vexed problem is finally solved and
the lives of Mrs. Demarest and Stanley
are united, makes a photoplay romance

NEVER LEAHNED THE TRUTH
caIlow Youngsters Might Have Re-
pented of Their Condemnation If
They Had but Known.

Youth and presumably Innocence
were waiting at a French goods coun-
ter while the clerk wrapped up jars of
pink stuff which they didn't need.
Each was audacious in the matter of
short skirts, and both were chewing
gum.
On a stool at the same counter sat
another customer, woman just facing
the agony line which separates beauty
from vandal Age. And Youth and In
nocence felt called on to dissect her.
They banded impressions as to the
.woman's looks, and giggled over her
desperate attempts to retain her com
plexion and age. Their sharp young
eyes took in the nobby dress that was
almost shabby, and their sharp young
voices would have stabbed her to the
quick except that she seemed to be
walled in by some concentrated
thought that clustered her from their
blows.
II betshees bad"
The gum-stuck verdict came from
Innocence, whose lawful place at that
minute should have been in some
eighth-grade schoolroom.
"Uccorse. Anybodyk'n tell that.
Whodjespose would lookatarole NUT
like herr"
Then Youth and Innocence, without
explaining how they came to be so
sordidly enlightened at their callow
years, suddenly switched interest to
their Yrapped-up stuff, and That
was all there was to it.
Except that the woman, having
bought and paid for her own little box
of something, got up and hurried to the
store entrance, where another woman
stopped to congratulate her on some
appointment obtained by her son:
Isn't it splendid! Papa and / are
so proud of him-I'm especially glad
for papa, because he has been so de-
pressed ever since his last attack
Ned's going to send him to Atlantic
City right away Imagine! After
all these poverty-pinched days"
We'll, you surely deserve all the
good luck that's coming to you Don't
see how on earth you keep your color
after all the nursing you've had to
do"
Rouge, my dear. Papa'd be too
wretched for words If he knew my
complexion had gone yellow-but Ned
says | shant need it after this"
This isn't much of yarn. of course,
but we have Plutarch's word for it that
truth is always worth considering.
And this is true.-Washingto Star.

Flying sickness" in its more essen
tial particulars is deserving of care
full and scientific investigation. ac-
cording to the London Lancet. 1t
raises matters of interest in connec-
tion with so-called mountain sickness.
Edward Whymper states from his own
experience of this condition that the
abiding symptoms are profound lassi-
tude. intense headache, feverishness,
accelerated respiration aud occasional
spasmodic gulping of air, 'just like
the fishes when taken out of water"
palpitation and tinnitus. The latter
two symptoms. no doubt, occur also
with great frequency at relatively low
levels.
1T is clear" says the Lancet. that
flying sickness is not comparable in
the strict sense with mountain sick
ness. in spite of the fact that some
OF the symptoms are more or less
identical. Hitherto we have had little
direct evidence of what occurs as a
result of rapid transference from high
TO low attitudes. for the laborious as
cent of the mountaineer into rarified
air is very different from a speedy re-
turn to normal pressures, while the
climb of flying machine is hardly so
rapid as to cause any i'll effect. The
