Especial to The Silver STATED

Especial to The Silver State)
CARSON CITY, Oct. 11-Even
Carson City, hardened as it is to
official absenteeism, sat up and
laughed few days ago when word
came over the wires that George
Russell, candidate for surveyor
general on the Republican ticket
had declared that some of the Demo-
cratic state officials do not even
have rooms in the state-referring
of course, to George Brodigan,
secretary of state, and George
Smith, director of the industrial
commission, both of whom are resi-
dents of California.
Carson City has known this for
long time, of course, but during
the last seven or eight years Carson
has imperceptibly grown accustomed
to officials absent from and inactive
in their offices, but extremely ac-
tive when the long list of salary
checks are drawn by the state con-
troller and paid by the state treas
urer.
Smith, as everybody knows, has
not been a resident of the state for
several years. He and his family
are enjoying beautiful home down
in California, where they live, but
by some political maneuvering
Smith continues to hold this COM
missionership and every month re-
ceives his $3.50 check for making
occasional visits to Nevada and Civ
ing the industrial commission the
once-over.
Brodigan also lives in California
now, where he is running hotel
and is seldom in Nevada, but his
name is still on the office door OF
the secretary of state and his salary
is still being drawn with unfailine
regularity.
Guesses are now being made as
to how many, if any, of the present
machine politicians holding high
state offices, will remain in Nevada
as long as six months, after they are
defeated in November.

GET THE MONEY IS
PRESENT POLICY
The Present State Officials Idea of
Economy Is To SlAsh Funds
For Schools But Make No
Cuts In the Payroll

Economy is now the watchword
among the Capitol crowd at Car
son. In fact, they've been strong
for it ever since John Miller an
nounced his campaign slogan.
But how do they expect to ac-
complish this cut in expenses-by q
reduction all along the line? Oh,
no! They have carefully exempted
the funds or appropriations of the
state officers from curtailment and
have Topped off the required amount
from the budget of the educational,
penal and charitable institutions Of
the state.
Under the law the retiring COVER
nor is compelled to transmit to his
successor a budget of estimated
state expenses for the two year ap-
preparation by the legislature.
When it became clear that the
state valuation would be materially
reduced, automatically lowering the
states revenue, the heads Of the
university, state prison, asylum for
the insane and the state superinten-
dent of public instruction were
called before the board of equaliza-
ton and told they would have to
cut their respective budgets three
per cent. This cut was agreed upon.
Following this agreement the gov
ernor and number of assessors and
members of the tax commission
went over the proposed state budget
and made the reduction as indicated,
after which it was approved.
But in no case was the proposed
appropriation for state office re-
duced.
During the early part Of the recen
session of the equalization board
there was a clamor for reduction
all along the line and number of
assessors were rearin' to go. It was
believed that some fur would fiy
and that an effort would be made
to Offset John Miller's economy
slogan.
Undoubtedly this would have been
the case had it not been for the
eagle eye of Governor Boyle. He
called number of the most anx-
ious and willing assessors into con-
ference and told them it was all
fixed and they returned to the
Arlington convinced that the great
economy had been affected and that
a reduction in valuation was but
one of the many pleasant features
of public life.
Yes, he fixed it, all right, but at
the expense of the education, chari-
table and penal institutions.
The budget as it comes from
Governor Boyle to his successor il
not mandatory in its figures and il
is expected that Governor Miller
will do more slashing before he
transmits it to the assembly.

WEATHER MAN SAID RAIN
AND SURE ENOUGH 1T DID

When Ray Fisher, weather OBJ
server, brought his forecast into
The Silver State office Tuesday and
in it predicted rain, impression was
that he had made a mistake and
gotten hold of a forecast for Ore
gon or Washington, or somewhere
like that, where it does rain once
in awhile, but surely not for Winnie
mucca, where rain hadn't fallen for
so long residents had commenced to
forget there is such thing as rain.
But for once the weather man was
right. Whether he was temporarily
blessed with supernatural power or
made a long-shot lucky guess he
refuses to state, but Tuesday night
and yesterday morning rain COM
menced to fall. Again this morning
and this afternoon it is drizzling.
Since noon yesterday 0.05 of an
inch of rain has fallen, while the
precipitation for the storm is 0.13
of an inch, and still coming down.
The weather report for the
twenty-four hours ended at 8 am.
today says: Highest temperature
yesterday, 81; lowest this morning,
80; mean temperature yesterday,
iS; normal temperature yesterday,
so; precipitation, 0.05 inch; prevail
ing wind direction, southwest.
Weather forecast for the twenty
four hours ending 5 pm. tomorrow
Unsettled weather tonight and Fri
day.

RAIN NEEDED IN ALL PARTS
OF THE STATE EXCEPT HERE

The mean temperature and aver
age sunshine were above normal for
the past week, and blustery weather
occurred at intervals. The highest
temperature for Reno was n and
the lowest was So; the highest at
Winnemucca was 92 and the lowest
was 80; the highest at Modena was
7S and the lowest was 80. The
maximum wind velocity at Reno
was 81 miles.
The weather was favorable for
ranch work, cattle, sheep, and
horses. Rain is much needed for
ranges, PASTURES, and dusty roads.
Potato digging made rapid progress,
and several carloads were shipped
to the market. The harvesting OF
late garden truck continued, and
everbearing Strawberries were still
producing well. Some plowing and
seeding was done, but the soil was
generally too dry for this work
without irrigation.
In the Reese River Valley cattle
and sheep are in fine condition
crops have been harvested, ant
yields are greater than usual. Ii
Elko county stock are in good con
dition generally, haying is com
pleted, grain is nearly all thrashed
and a good crop of fruit is mostl,
gathered. Frost did some damage
in the vicinity of Winnemucca, but
no damage was reported in Paradise
Valley by freezing weather al
though high winds in that valley OF
the evening of the Sd blew -somt
fruit from the trees and slightly
damaged hay. Ranges are badly il
need of rain in the south portion
although there is amply dry gras'
for stock. Roads are mostly dust,
and rutty, due to the long period o.
dry weather and heavy traffic; ex
cept in Humboldt county, where
rain, which started last night, con
tinuing today, has thoroughly satu
rated the roads.

variously accredited as a half
brother, step-brother or foster
brother of Newton Stanley Jr. As
matter of fact he is an adopted
son of Mrs. Newton Stanley Sr.--
adopted by her when she bore the
name of her first husband, Rusow;
and Charles Rusow is not in any
manner whatsoever related to any
of the Stanley men-folk.
Rusow proved to be an excep-
tionally intelligent witness, and at
the close of more than an hours
stay on the stand stepped down
without having made any conflicting
utterances.
A general digest of his testimony
was given some time ago in The
Silver State, but two or three vital
features were elected by counsel in
the course of the examination that
have not been hitherto given. The
main and most interesting facts
adduced were that when Rusow, ac-
companied by Wade Snyder--a
sheepman at whose camp Rusow
and Newton Stanley had eaten din
ner that day-went to the scene of
the killing, they found Bonofacio
Yragui lying on his face dead; and
alongside of him was a 25-calibre
automatic pistol, with four cart
ridges in the magazine (which was
made to contain six cartridges) and
one in the barrel, and also a 25-35
carbine, hat and cane.
In answer to questions in cross
examination Rusow said that he had
talked with Bonofacio Yragui, for
the last time, about year ago and
| that Yragui could talk some English
and one could, by signs and talk,
understand Yragui and enable him
to understand.
Rusow said that in lifting the
body of Yragui to the pack-saddle
on horse, for conveyance to the
ranch house of the elder Stanley,
blood oozed from the body and
dripped to the ground. This testi-
mony was elected by Attorney
Wylie for the purpose, evidently,
Of making it plain why there were
two or three different splotches of
blood on the ground, as brought out
in the testimony of Sheriff Brady.
Rusow also testified relative to
the contour of the ground and said
that the points whera it is apparent
the combatants stood, at the time
of the shooting, have a slight ridge
between them, and that a mar
standing, where Newton Stanley Jr
is said to have stood when he shot
Yragui, could not see below a mans
knees, if the latter were standing al
the point where Yragui's body was
found. From the questions pro.
pounded by Attorney Wylie that
brought forth some of the answer:
made by Witness Rusow, it is in.
ferred that the defense is laying q
foundation for self-defense, or
which will be constructed much tc
go to show that Yragui was in 9
STOPPING posture, firing from behinc
a screen of sagebrush at Stanley
when the latter picked him off.
At the time The Silver State goe.
to press Wade Snyder, a sheepmar
living in the vicinity of the STANLEY
ranch, is on the witness stand.

WOMEN s HELP.
Failure to Back Suffragettes'
Bill Hurts Stand. Y
BY HUDSON EIAWLEY
United Ne4os staff Correspondent

PARIS, Dec. 14.-Among the French
suffragettes, former Premier Viviani
has lost his standing.
The distinguished statesman had to
become i'll right in the middle Of the
Senate's recent consideration of the
suffrage bill. He remained i'll right
through to the end of it, when the
project was rejected by 156 to 1874.
And you can never get those women
to believe that he couldn't by sheer
dint Of his torrential oratory, have
changed that adverse vote into a ma
jority for the cause!
Now that the bill is dead and buried,
Viviani can come out again. And see
ing him out and about once more,
wicked tongues are beginning to hint
that his illness was Of the variety
known as diplomatic"
Nevertheless, there's his alibi--he
was sick. He can still take the plat
form as president Of the League Of
Rights Of Women" and assure the
trusting sisters he's more of a suffra-
gist than ever.

SEPARATES
TWINS AGED q
Orphaned at II, They Never
Parted In Long Life.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 14.-Death has
separated twin sisters who We're born
elghty-two years ago and orphaned
at the age Of IA.
Their education was the same,
Their husbands had been chums. And
together they watched Ohio City grow
into Cleveland's west side.
Children came. Then grandchildren
And finally-each became a great
grandmother.
The twins were 6 wnen they came
to Cleveland with their parents. Then
the mother and father died.
Never Separated
Friends cared for the twins for sew
eral years, in different parts OF tho
city. But they were never separated.
Their education was obtained in Ken
lucky schools.
The marriage Of Mrs. Klingman was
the first actual separation. They were
20 then. But they visited each other
almost daily.

ton, bishop OF the Episcopal Church.
Bishop Guerry believes the South Car
DINA law, prohibiting divorce for any
cause whatsoever, should be the model
for the national law.
Whatever is done by Congress,
South Carolina seems certain to re-
main steadfast against divorce. Mild
attempts have been made to change
the law, but bills introduced in the
legislature have never gone farther
than the introduction stage.
South Carolinans who want d.
vorces go over to. Georgia, set up a
legal residence, and, after the re-
quired period of residence has elapsed,
institute divorce proceedings in the
Georgia courts on grounds of de-
sertion.
With a wife's residence established
in Georgia, it is easy for her to claim
that the husband, whose legal resi-
dence remains in South Carolina, has
deserted her.
Only one years residence is re-
Quired. The wife's legal residence is
in Georgia, but that doesn't prevent
her from spending most Of her time
in South Carolina If she chooses.
After she gets her divorce, it is
easy to discontinue the Georgia resi-
dence. Courts here have held that
persons divorced in another State can
not legally marry in South Carolina

Life of LeberS i'm Colonies Has
Pleasant Side, Says Missionaries
BIZ Tnited Nefrs

By United NetCs
CHICAGO, Dec. 14-The life Of the
lepers on the South Sea leper islands
is nowhere near as unpleasant and
grewsoTne as generally pictured, &C
cording to DR.. and Mrs. Richard J.
Morrison, Salvation Army mission
aries, who have just returned from a
two-year sojOurn in Java. Both did
volunteer work in the Palentoengan
leper colony, one Of the largest in the
South Seas.
Lepers have their native orchestras
and brass bands. They play football
and cultivate flowers. The disease
isn't the least bit painful. and the
leper colony fapper is altogether easy
on the eyes, according to the Nor
risons.
Java has a leper population of
probably $4,000" said DIR. Morrison.
But only about 600 sufferers are
segregated in the four important col
onies. Segregation. unfortunately, is
not compulsory, as in Hawaii.
"Pelantoengan Is paradise of
palms, flowers and sunshine, although
Of course staying in the same place
all ones life grows tiresome, but we
try to make the unfortunate as hap
by as we can.

is the gamelang, an arrangement of
