Jackson, Miss, Feb. l1.-Although
he has been three weeks in charge OF
the executive department, Governor
Diibo has not, so far, affixed his name
10 single pardon certificate. This is
in direct contrast to the last few weeks
OF the preceding administration, dur
ing which period some thirty or forty
state convicts were given conditional
Dardons, while almost as many were
granted persons charged with minor
ohenses, and held in jails or on coun-
~ farms Il is known that the new
Governor is not a believer in the too
free exercise OF the paTdOning prerOga-
tive, and that he is altogether opposed
to the one-man pardcning system. He
hopes that before the Legislature fin
ishes its work pardoning board will
have been created, for which he has
st0utly and consistently Contonded.

Rheumatism is direct result OF
eating too much meat and other rich

A FEW WORDS REGARDING
THE FIRST MANAGING EDITOR

There was no stereotyping plant
When julius Caesar was extant.
No Mergenthaler sang its song.
Octuples had not come along.
There was no ink in reds and blues
When julius Caesar ran the news.
When Julius Caesar needed news
There was no telephone to use.
He had to climb aboard a horse
And get exclusive scoops by force.
There was not then. as we may guess,
good Associated Press.
Because his method thus was crude,
They buried those he interviewed,
Which seems to indicate lack
OF finer repertorial knack.
Still one good point is clearly spied-
His interviews were not denied.
When Julius Caesar edited.
Exchanges were not credited.
When he met items face to face
He grabbed them quick to swell his
space.
Thus normally he came to be
/ The first great editorial We.
/ In many another matter. too.
/ He did Just what we fellows do.
He always did the modern stunt
He always put the news up front.
He gave his staff ASSIGNMENTS tough
And kept the galleys full of stuff.
Though he could not rush news to
press
+, In fifteen minutes more or less,
Yet he had every other art
That editors must have by heart.
Just scan his stuff. We've got hunch
You'll say that Julius had the punch
When Julius Caesars time was ripe
There was no Limo to stick type.
So Brutus with some other chaps
Stuck him Old Roman Style in Caps
Lines O. Type News.

THE LURE OF THE DESERT

AS I gaze from my window across the
crescent bay,
The landscape seems to turn into a
desert dull and gray;
The bobbing little sailboats seem to
be the sagebrush green.
And the moonlight on the water is the
deserts silver sheen.
oh, take me to the desert-let me feel
the dry. hot sand;
Let me hear a coyote calling to the
others of his band;
Let me see the red sun sinking, cast
ing shadows on the hills;
When l see these purple shadows
+ something deep within me thrills.
And when I'm blue and lonely. and
the fog is damp and thick,
Then I'm hungry for the desert, hun
CRY till I'm nearly sick;
And | gaze from out my window max
ing the bay desert be,
Till l close my eyes and fancy that
the deserts here with me.

WINGFIELD APPOINTED on
NEVADA RACING COMMISSION

IN announcing the resignation of
Charles F. Bolts as a member of the
Nevada Racing commission and the
appointment of George Wingfield to
the vacancy. Governor BOYLE made
the following statement to the Carson
Appeal:
mfr. Bolts rendered his resignation
some time ago. but its acceptance was
deferred in the hope that he could
still performe the services of the Of
fee He has not. however. been able
to make certain roeo~ts reauir2d Of
hia owing to i'll health and the pree-
sure Of his business affairs. The state
loses the services of a conscientious
.servont by his resignation.
"The racing commission law was
proposed and sponsored by Mr. Wing
field. who as Nevada's foremost breed
er of racing stock and as a racing en-
thusiast has a larger personal inter-
est in the success of pari-mutuel rae
ing in Nevada than anyone else.
Racing under this system in Ne
vada, is on trial If it can be conduct
ed so as TO meet with popular ap-
proval here. Mr. Wingfield is the man
who logically should be most inter-
ested in seeing it so conducted, and |
have appointed him, as | did his pre-
decessor, Mr. Bolts. on his recon-
mendation, with the feeling that this
experiment can best be tried out un-
der his administration"

ELKO COUNTY MAN
BITTEN BY RABID COYOTE

Victor Achabel, whose residence is
in Elko, arrived in the city yesterday
morning and Immediately went to the
state hygienic laboratory for treat
ment by DR.. r. H. Mullin with the
Pasteur treatment. says the Reno
Journal.
While sleeping in tent on ranch
about so miles south of Elko, a coy
ote entered the tent and bit Achabel
on the nose. 1t is thought the coyote
was infected with rabies as it is said
that the symptoms of rabies is the
complete change of habits of an ami
NAL. In their normal state a coyote
will run away from a man, but when
infected will attack man.
DR.. Mullin. after investigating Ach-
abel's case, was of the opinion that
the coyote that bit him was mad, and
that the patient did the right thing in
coming for treatment. Achabeps case
is the 77th treated at the laboratory
and it is believed the 100 mark will
soon be reached.

MAY PRODUCTION
AT CAMP OF MIDAS

Seven bars of bullion, six of them
ordinary size and one large one and
weighing about $40 pounds, was the
Midas camps contribution last month
to the mineral output of Nevada. This
was practically from one mine, the
Elko Prince, and it is safe to assume
that it's value was in the neighbor-
hood of s55,000. The silver percentage
should not be higher than six or seven
to one, on which basis the above would
result. This should speak well of
what the camp will produce when a
few of the present prospects graduate
into mines. One beauty of the district
is that it is not one mine camp, but
all evidence goes to show there will
be plenty of others.-Independe
