PRESENTATION TO
Fl. ". EDWARDSLIFE
MEMBER OF ELKS

Presentation of a handsome and
costly Elks' badge to District At
torney H. w. Edwards was made
this week at his Office in the court
house by committee of which the
spokesman was Thomas A. Bath.
The badge is an artistically en-
graved $40 gold piece and is a
memento of the fact that Mr.. Ed
wards is the fourth life member
of the order in Nevada. 1t is let
tered on both sides, has an en-.
craving of an elk's head and an.
tiers and chimes. In appropriate
wording the data regarding his
life membership is set forth in
raised lettering. At the bottom is
fac simile of Mr.. Edwadls' auto
graph signature, several times re-
duced. This was obtained and Sc
engraved without his knowledge
the writing being slightly back
hand.
It was an interesting assem-
blage and the recipient was unin-
formed of what was coming and
not prepared. Yet to the appro-
pirate words of Mr.. Bath he re-
piled briefly, but with the deep
est feeling. 1t goes without say
ing that the token will ever be
treasured and appreciated by Ne.
vada's No. 4 life member.

tention. The wound proved to be
slight and he is able to walk with
out crutches.

man, who is said to be his brother
in-law, entered the room and com :
menced shooting. Conner grappled
with his assailant. secured the
gun. striking his antagonist over
the head. Then the gun fell to
the floor and Mrs. Conner seized 1t
and threw it out a WINDOW.
Thus disarmed the man who did

outside and disappeared in the
darkness. it being at night Con-
ner followed him out and tried to
locate him by using his auto search
light, but was unsuccessful. The
shooter has not been heard from

panied by his wife and father. II

CANDIDATES ARE WORKING
NIGHT AND DAY. RECORDS
To Be BROKEN NEXT WEEK
First Period Closes the Coming Saturday
Night and Down Go the Credits Who
Will Be the Leader Next Week?

ONLY SIX MORE DAYS LEFT
OF THE ALL IMPORTANT FIRST
PERIOD" Six more days to win or
lose prizes worth thousands of dol
lars. That's exactly what the re-
suits of the next six days will mean
to every candidate in the race. or
course, the campaign is not over un-
til October 13, but the results OBJ
tanned between now and the close OF
the first period, which is next Sat
arday night, September %, will
practically decide who the winners
will be.
Credit Drop.
After the close of this period the
credits take a decided drop, in fact,
they lose nearly half their voting
strength, and for every candidate
not to hustle every available sub
scription to the office before that
time, is to deliberately turn their
backs on the biggest opportunity tina.
may ever come their way. Just the
difference in credits in this period
and the one following may be the
means of turning DISMAL DEFEAT
into GLORIOUS VICTORY.
Records Will Be Broken
From every source comes the in
formation that records will be
broken this week Every candidate
is determined to win the car at all
hazards, and those looking on from
the side lines will see the DOPE en-
tirely upset when the standings are
published again next Sunday. Just
"a little burst of speed on the part
T9f any Of the candidates will change
the whole percentage column, just
one or two long term subscriptions
for any of the candidates would put
them at the head of the list, and
once you are ahead it's so easy to
stay there. as everybody likes to
trail with the leader.
Plenty of Time.
There is plenty of time yet for
those who have the ENERGY and
HUSTLE to get in the race and win
the first prize. The circulation ter
ritory of the paper hasn't been
scratched. There are hundreds of
subscriptions that can be gotten from
people who have not been asked as
yet. Next week you will doubtless
see the names of others who will en-
ter, and let us say this to every can
didate that is in the race at the pres
ent time: Look out for those who
get in at this stage of the game. They
are WINNERS. Why? Because
they have been watching the race, and
from the showing you have made up
to this time has been the very thing
that has made them decide to en-
ter, so II you want to get your share
of the subscriptions vet to come in
you had better get right into HIGH
GEAR and go after them. WORK
ERS WILL BE THE WINNERS IN
THIS RACE.

of historical information, pertaining
both to the early days of eastern
Nevada, with considerable general
information as we'll, has been dis
covered in the files of the old Ward
Reflex, which began publication at
the town of that name. seventeen
miles from Ely, April 10, 1877, these
being in the vaults ON County Audi
tor J. O. Mckernan. A few of the
news items OF apparently more gen.
eral interest today have been copied
from only three of the first numbers
and are reproduced herewith.
At that time the name of Ely was
Robinson and in various columns of
the Reflex it is mentioned and al
most invariably as "out there and
"out that way" In the first issue
is a little item about George Lamb
showing the editor, Mr.. Simpson,
some rich ore from Robinson. 1t

Explanation offered as to Why the

Why do women talk more than men?
DR.. A. A. Brill, professor of psy-
ehology at New York university and
well known psychoanalyst, told the
National Association of Teachers of

the university.
There is no question that women
are more voluble than men," said
Doctor Brill, and. strange to say, none
of the women delegates rose to argue
with him. MANY discussions and ex-
plantations have been offered"
Doctor Brill offered one by Doctor
