THE CINCINNATI

The Society of the Cincinnati, the oldest of American patriotic organiza- tions, was organized by the Aneri- can and French officers of the revo- 1utionary forces at the close of hos tilities. 133 years ago today. The membership is now composed of the descendants of officers who fought in the Continental and French armies in the revolution, the right to member ship descending to the eldest hneal male descendant, if Judged worthy, and, in failure of direct male des- cendant, to male descendants, through intervening female descendants. There are now about a thousand living herd ftary members aof the society, while President Wilson, e6-Presidents Taft and Roosevelt, ex-PreAdent Loubet of France, and others, are honorary members. From it's organization the society faced much bitter opposition, as many believed that such a society as incompatible with democratic in- stitutions. and feared that it might mark the beginning of a hereditary aristocracy. Opposition did not cease until about a century ago. The so- ciety has a branch in France, as we'll as in various states.

Thousands Watch
 Submarine Drills

Boston, May 13.-The CharIestown navy yard, in which 40 vessels of war have been assembled, was visited by thousands of persons today in connec- ton with Navy Day program, ar ranged by the Massachusetts Auxi1- iary of the Naval Relief society. Among the principal demonstra tions of naval preparedness were the man oeuvres of the L-1, representative of the latest type of submarines in the United States navy and the launching of a torpedo by the torpedo boat de :. Estroyer O'Brien.
 The fighting ships, ranging from submersibles to super -dreadnaughts were dressed for the occasion. The only vessels without coIors were ten submarines built by an American com pany for the British government and interned at the local yard for the dur ation of the war

 In doing justice to the red man we
 may not be willing to go so far as to return to him the continent we eX- propriated. In fact, it is safe to say | that we won't. The very least we can do, however is to admit that maybe there were two sides to the Indian wars, and to cease teaching our chill l dren that in those conflicts all white people were angels and all recmen
 were fiends. At the beginning of the struggle the Indian had nine points of law on his side, and he had a right to do his fighting in his own way. He didn't pretend to be civilized.

iEANTS AND ANIMALS CAN
LIVE IN BRINES AND SAI1'

Just west of Promontory Point
station, Utah, is a pond cut off from
the Great Salt Lake by the railroad
embankmcnt. At times of high
water in the lake this reservoir tiiis
by percolat.on through the embank-
ment, but during the summer this
water is concentrated to a brine by
evaporation. The deep pink color of
the brine is a phenomenon that a,,-
pears in salt ponds generally wneu
a certain concentration is reached.
In the salt ponds of San Francisco
hay this color is due to a certain
bacillus which lives in saturated
orines and also in the heaps of salt
as it is piled for~drainage and shin
mcnt. PrOhibitive to- life as such an
ent ironment might be considered,
strong natural brines are, in fact,
inhabited by a number of minute or
ganiSms. animals as well as plants.
The pink color disappears in win
ter or when fresh water is intro
duced into the pond. The Southern
Pacific company has done some
governmental work on preserving
piles and railroad ties by soaking
them in the pond.-Overland Guide

President Hendrick is ~contendipg
for several hundred hunters and

The disease has already been
transmitted to many domestic ami
mails including horses, cattle, hogs,

among the sheep herds are estimat-
ed at over $4,000 head. 1t is an in

OF the coyote is considered the only
remedy against the spread of the
disease.

CORPSE
FOUND IN ROAD
DEAD BODY OF INTOXICATED
MAN DISCOVERED ON
Ida ROAD

Lying in his own blood, with the
bones of his face and skull crushed,
Long Haired Johnnie, an Indian, was
found at the bend of the Ida road
just beyond where the Midland
trail meets the old road to Ida,
about a mile from town, last evening,
just before 6 o'clock, by H. H. Hox-
worth and a companion, who we're
driving in from Ida.
The CHASTITY find was reported to
the sheriff's office at Z o'clock and
Sheriff ingalls,, accompanied by dep
uties, departed Immediately to the
scene of the tragedy.
The body had been rolled to one
side, apparently by Hoxworth, so
that it might escape further contact
with passing autos. The face seems
to have been in the rue of the road,
as well as one of the legs, since
these were the only portions of the
body that were injured. The cause
of the death is a mystery to the Of
f~icials, but it is generally conceded
that the Indian must have been hit
by a passing auto, while lying in
the roadway in an unconscious con-
dition, as the tracks of a machine
could be discerned. The ground was
found.
Indian Bob Bess and Long Haired
Johnnie started out on horseback
for Ida yesterday afternoon between
5 and 4 O'Clock from the Union
stables. Bess rode in the saddle
while Johnnie rode behind. 1t is
thought the latter must have fallen
off the horse, as both were satura-
ted with liquor and Bess was in such
a stupefied condition that, up to d
late hour today, he had not recov-
cred from the effects of fire water
sufficiently to discuss the death of
his late companion.
A long scalp wound indicates
that Long Haired Johnnie may have
been killed in the fall from the
horse, though blood is spattered -,

REFINERY DESTROYED AT
TONOPAH-BELNONT MILL

The breaking of an oil pipe, by
which this fuel is fed under pres
sure. caused a serious fire at the
Belmont mill Sunday morning at
) O'Clock. The oil Immediately ig-
nited and it was some time before
the flow could be shut off, which
caused a fire that could not be cas-
lily checked.
The blaze occurred in the refin-
cry, which is situated some distance
from any other building. The COM
pany has a we'll equipped fire fight
ing system and many OF it's men are
trained in it's use. Chemicals and
water were quickly applied, but
seemed to have no effect on the fire.
The Tonopah department was called
and it made the long run in a very
few minutes. picking up volunteers
on the way to aid the paid men.
The building was constructed of a
steel frame with galvanized cover
ing, metal roof and concrete floor.
The regular semi-monthly melt was
in progress, but none of the bullion
vas lost.
The estimate of the loss is not
given out but it is believed that the
building and contents. including the
machinery, were worth about $14,-
600. The plant will be rebuilt o
after the adjustment of the loss is
made. The structure and contents
were fully insured. This disaster
will not in any way affect the out
put of bullion from the property
