Colonial.

How an adroitly evil tongue can
work the destruction of many lives
is demonstrated in dramatic fashion
by Vitagraph's new picture, The Ven
geance of Durand." This production,
in which Alice Joyce takes the stellar
role, will be shown at the Colonial
theater tonight and tomorrow.
Armand La Fargo, villain of the
photoplay, employs the evil tongue.
With deft word and smile bestowed
here and there this creature incites
others to violent jealousy. The tre-
mendous emotion produced in Henri
Durand. an aristocratfc Frenchman,
brings about the dramatic climax Of
the play, startling revenge.
THE Vengeance of Durand" was
adapted from the famous novel writ
ten by Rex Beach. 1t has it's settings
in Paris before the war.

COPPER BELT CAN
RUN AUTOMOBILE

The Nevada Public Service Commits
sion last week issued orders permit
ting the Nevada Copper Belt Railroad
to supplement their passenger train
service with automobiles in cases Of
emergency. When such emergencies
occur the autos are to run directly to
Yerington, without necessitating trans
ters at the Yeringon depot. d. w.
Mex enzie and Chas. Metz were pres
tnt at the hearing and offered no OBJ
lection to the ruling.
Julius Fanucci, who had pctitioned
the commission for permission to op-
crate a passenger auto on call from
Yerington to all parts Of Lyon county,
was also given hearing on October
9th. d. w. Mckenzie. Chas Metz
and p. II. Cook objected to the pc
!ition being granted on the ground
that those engaged in the auto busi-
ness here are not making living,
md the petition was denied, the com
mission taking the stand that he field
was already adequately covered and
that an additional automobile would re
suit in poorer service to the COM
inunity.

PLAINTIFFS WIN
BIG DAMAGE SUIT

After deliberatingg six hours the
jury in the case of Dora Hickey and
daughters against the Douglas Milling
and Power Company returned ver-
dict awarding the plaintiffs Judgment
in the sum of $l5,303 The jury's
verdict was unanimous and was reach
ed Saturday night.
The trial occupied II days and over
100 residents of Douglas county were
examined before a jury was secured.
The difficulty lay in the fact that so
many talesmen were stockholders in
the defendant company. The case will
be appealed to the supreme court.
The suit arose as result of the
eiectrocution OF Mrs. Rickcy's husband
near the defendant company's mill last
year. He and his daughter were fish

BIG DEMAND FOR
UNKNOWN MINERALS

The lesser known minerals that the
prospeltor passes over every day 81
the year in his search for gold. silver
and copper will receive more atten-
ton, according to the plans now being
put into effect by the Reno Chamber
OF Commerce. That body has estab-
lished mining information btsreat
operating on statewide scale which
will gather mining information and
disseminate it.
The bureau will confine its activities
for the present to gathering inforina-
tion for the benefit OF the prospector
and investor i'll rare metals and eco.
nomic minerals. Claim owners arc in
vited to send descriptions of their
properties together with samples, and
other data. These will be filed and
classified SO as to be readily acces-
sible. Inquiries from manufacturers
and investors are likewise filed.
Thereafter whenever possible buyer
and seller will be brought together
There will be no charge for this ser.
vice
Many inquiries for Nevada min
erals have been received lately which
fact has hastened the establishment.
of such bureau. The lesser known,
minerals are in the greatest demand
and it is these minerals that the Cham,
Der df Commerce hopes to develop.
Diatomaceous earth or kieserguhr,
gypsum, barite, manganese. chrome
tale, salt, alunite, bismuth, borax, com
mercial clays fuospar, glaubers salt
graphite, kaliDite, lime, mannesitc.
molybdenitc. potash, strontium sui
phur, and semi-precious gems come
under this classification and are being
sought in large quantities but have
received little attention from the pros
pector who did not know how to mar
ket them.
The Chamber of Commerce now
has on display splendid exhibit OF
minerals. Visitors are invited to in,
spect them and learn their character
istics. This exhibit was prepared BY
Director Lincoln of the Mackay
School of Mines and contains many Of
the choicest specimens of that won

PARTY SENATORS
FOR PROF|TEERs

Voters OF Nevada. do you know Sena-
tor Henderson record on the Cum
MINIS -Esch law? This law was written
by the railway executives to return the
railroads to private ownership on then
own terms. BY it the people agree to
pay all costs oil operating the roads
not limited, and guarantee railroad
owners per cent annually on every
share, including eight billions of wa
tered stock. This "cost-plus" contract
between Congress and railroads
against the people caused the greatest
rate increase in history, yielding 81, $50,
000,C0O more year. You, the people,
must pay these rates in increased cost
of necessities of life. Your increased
cost of living will be five times $3.50
100000 or about eight billions dollars
after many middlemen have handled
these necessities. This law is raising
the cost o. living for every person 81:

No sincere fighter against bad

KANGAROO COURT
by a stuelent)

Last Friday the Freshmen Class
gave dance in honor of the student
body OF the High school. Excellent
music was furnished by Miss Gordon
and Mr. Peterson.
The FIRST four dances passed off just
fine. At the beginning of the fifth
dance. some of the wide awake sopho-
mores noted that something was i'll the
air. Quietly, one by one. the Fresh
men were going up the stairs and van-
ishing behind the wings of the stage.
Just as the fliti, dance ended the Fresh
men filed out OH the stage and took
their places with their customary
grave and dignified manner. The APP
pearance Of the solemn and awe-in-
spring judge with his long. white
yoatee and mustache. was greeted with
much applause. A severe frown made
its appearance upon the couhtenance
Of this official, and the eyes behind the
gold-rimmed glasses cast stern glances
at the offenders. Loudly his mallet
sounded on the table. Silence reigned
supreme. A snicker broke the sacred
stiffness.
''Silencer' thundered the Judge.
Needless to say, the command was
,beyed by the terror-stricken student
body.
\ dignified policeman and a still
more dignified police woman. now took
their places, one on each side of the
steps that led to the court.
Case of Mr.. Hill is now before
The court" These words pronounced
by the judge, fell like thunderbolt
upon the unsuspecting heads of the
members of thefaculty.
The policeman walked with manly
stride over to the astonished Mr.. Hill,
Mr.. Hill was taken up the steps and
placed before the judge. What is the
prisoner accused OFF" asked the judge.
Promptly came the answer from
the policeman, "The prisoner is ac
cused Of being too solemn Facing
the jury the judge asked, Guilty or
not guilty." Breathlessly was the ver-
dict awaited by everyone, Mr.. Hill in
ssluded.. Loud came the answer
"CU1LTY."
"The prisoner" announced the
Judge, calmly, sis sentenced to test the
freshness of an egg
After blindfolding MIR. Hill, the po-
liceman stepped in back OF the pris-
oner and slowly pulled from his poe
ket an egg. Then withmuch delibera
ton he cracked it on the head of the
prisoner
The judge watched these proceed
ings with bored air. and then said,
gruffly, Case is dismissed"
After all the accused had been at
tended to. the evening was given over
to dancing. AT midnight refreshments
were served, and all departed, declaring
that they had thoroughly enjoyed
the evening.
