MAN OF HISTORY
DIES SUDDENLY

A dispatch to the Owens Valley
Herald last week announced the
sudden death of Alney L. McGee,
at Santa Monica. Mr.. McGee was
well known to many Nevadans,
being an important figure in the
pioneer Indian days OF Nevada
and eastern California. Mr.. Nc
Gee was born in Texas, Jan. 27,
1874, and was of Scotch Presby-
terian descent. Among his an
cestry were those who took active
part in the organization OF the
Cumberland Presbytery of Ten
nessee. He was one of a family
of six children, three girls and
three boys. Entering Owens Val
Ivy, California, about 1860, Alney
MCGEE was active in its redemp-
ton from the wilds and assumed
mans share of the duties, la
bors, and responsibilities of an
American citizen until partially
untitled by accident few months
ago. He was a man to depend
upon; a man whose friendship was
priced and whose prejudices were
carefully respected both by white
men and Indians. The incident of
his active life still oft times recited
in the valley was the fight at
Charley's Butte, where after
Charlie had mounted Jess Sum-
mers and his wife and babe on
Charles own horse, and forced
them out OF the fight, McGee with
his apparently lifeless mother on
his arms rode around and around
their herd of loose horses trying
to give Charlie a chance to rope
another, and only desisting when
Charles fate was sealed. The
mother, whom Alney thought
dead, had tainted and revived lat
er, and the entire party escaped
save Charlie, whom McGee spoke
of as the "whitest black man that
ever lived" Until within two
seasons Alney McGee has from
choice rode range. He loved the
open life, the the mighty noun
tains and wide spaces, and seemed
so active and sturdy as to warrant
the prediction that barring acci-
dents he might round out a centu-
ry, but such was not to be.

it any way express their senti-

RABIES AND ITS
DEADLY EFFECT

infection com msnunicated from a
rabid animal to a susceptible
animal, usually caused by biting.
Man always contracts the disease
from lower animal, usually the
dog. The infective agent must
be inoculated into the tissues the
poison is harmless when taken in
to the stomach. Rabies may be
regarded as wound infection the
poison is contained in the saliva
of the animals infected and there
fore may be acquired by licking
if there is an open wound or cut
in the skin of the tongue. 1t is
possible to introduce the poison
through cuts, although it is usual
ly acquired from bites of the
teeth of rabid animal. Every
animal that suckles it's young is
susceptible. Even birds may get
the disease. 1t is most common
in dogs, frequently wolves, jack
ais, foxes and hyenas have it. Rab-
les in cats is rare. Cattle, sheep
and goats are infected relatively
in about the same degree. 1t is
less common in horses. Swine
contract the disease less frequent
ly than other domestic animals.
Skunks have the disease and
some times transmit it to man.
Rabies exists practically all over
the world except in Australia, and
recently in England. 1t is most
common in France, Belgium and
Russia. In 1908 there were re-
ported Ill deaths of human be-
ings from hydrophobia. In 1890
the largest number of deaths
among man reported l43. These
cases occurred in the United
States.
Rabies is commonly supposed
to prevail only in the hot months
but it may be just as bad in cold
weather. The victim whether
man or lower aimal never recov-
ers after the symptoms set in.
More cases occur from April to
September than from October to
March because dogs run abroad
more freely during the previous
period. 1t is the running about
Of animals and not the weather
that causes the greater frequen-
cy and influences the prevalence
and spread of the disease.
Wolf bites are the most danger
Gus on account of the savage
character of the wound and the
virulence of the poison. Cat bites
come next, and then dog bites.
There is no authentic instance OF
the transmission of the disease
from the bite of man, but it might
be possible to so transmit it.
Not every person bitten by a
mad animal developes rabies, or
as it is commonly called, hydro
-phobia. While statistics are diff
cult to get, the most reliable in
formation had shows that among
people who do not get the Pasteur
treatment only about one in ten
persons bitten develop the dis
ease.
Cauterizing or burning the
wound and the Pasteur treatment
are efficient preventive measures
for the individual, but they are
not the true and best methods
for controlling and preventing
rabies. The disease may be avoid
ed and even exterminated by an
intelligent system of muzzling
and quarantining of dogs. A high
tax on dogs and leashing are only
restrictive measures. In England
when the dogs were muzzled rab-
les diminished. The law was re-
pealed owing to misplaced sympa-
thy for the dogs and rabies inn

IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE
 AT WoMANPS COLLEGE.
Interiors of Several Rooms Have Been
 Redecorated for Coming Term.

On account of several breaks in the water pipes. from freezing last winter, which discolored the walls and ceilings of several of the rooms in the dormi- tories at Connecticut college. it was necessary to redecorate the interiors of these rooms. The work was com pleted a few days ago. and the furni : ture replaced, haEgings, window dra- peries and cushions put into place in readiness for the resident students who will arrive on Monday morning.
 The office of the secretary, which has been located in one of the rooms moved to the room in New London hall originally designed for that purpose.
 A new. bookcase, for the filing of cataloguecs. and other books for use in the administrative offices, has been placed in the office of the presidents S secretary. The case is made of wood to match the finish of the office
 EauippiEg the dining hall for the service of the new class is also being done, the new lot of china and glass, which is a duplicate of the ware used last year, having been put in.
 The dining hall, which will be under the same management as last year, will have the service of students as waitresses. as was the case during the latter part of last term. The use of students as waitresses was much more satisfactory in every way, it was found, and was also Of help to students who were desiroUs of working their way through college.
 With the additional tables and chairs necessary to seat the entire resident study body, every available inch of the dining hall will be utilized.

LONG COAT WEATHER
Comfortable Garments a Necessity These Fall Days Fabrics, Tones and Crnamentation That Are Popu- lar - Buttons and riat Trimmings Unusually Elegant.


 The-fong ong1eoat is an bsolute neces- sity, both for comfort and style, dur ing these early fall days, when sum mer weight skirts and waists may be worn, yet when the silk sweater is a bit too light for Teai protection This year the designers appear to have surpassed all previous efforts and success in the line of coats which they are sending out. This is true, whether the coat is in fancy plaids or in solid colors All medals have the graceful flare, deep cuffs, large collar, which can be buttOned high at will, and, whether plaln or trimmed, each gar ment is q thing of beauty as well as of prime utility.
 This year buttons merit q chapter for themselves. so rich are they, so handsome, 50 Odd and III many cases so expensive. The button artists must have sat up nights evolving smart and pretty novelties to finish coats suits and skirts.
 A favored combination which is go- irS to be tue vogue as thc weeks go by is bronze and blue. Already it is shown in suit materials, in millinery and ln one piece dresses
 As well IS bronze, tobacco is a, tint greatly liked. Shown yesterday, it was the effective hue of a street dress In one-Diece style, of fine French serge This had the new ffaring sleeve in charmeuse, and the same silk form ed the collar and pockets. This dress was cut in the high waisted effect, had belt embroidered in colored chenille, and was touched up with rows of small fancy buttons.
 The sport idea continues to charac- terlze many garment models, and finds expression in some of the separate skirts, which come in fancy checks The sensible reliable tweed mixtures are frequently employed, solid poplins are good, and there is a variety of faoric, cut and finish to suit all tastes and demands. Some have side pockets. others have patch pockets and the majority will be found gathered and with wide belts ornamented by trig buttons.
 The Fad for Fur.
 Fur buttons are also ultra smart and, in fact, fur in all shapes. belts and applications is promised big vogue this season.
 A coat in silk velours shown yes- terday had for trimming rich opos- sum, in collar cuffs and band. The elegant wrap was priced S75
 Black velours was developed in 8 seven -eig,hths coat, daintily lined with orange peau de cygne. The trimming was black opossum with fur buttons. ms rich garment was tagged S45.
 Nelours, this time navy shade, was employed in designing a swagger coat which had black fox collar and large fancy black buttons
 Exceedingly elegant was a coat in primrose veiours, with extra flare, it's collar and cuffs of modish raccoon.
 Ornaments for Hats.
 While an absence of heavy trimming is feature of all the modish hats this
