Last Touch of the Life of the
Old Frontier Passes Away
Under Era of Moral
Law.
Reno, Neveda—Special: Femininity,
drawn from all sources, respectable,
reputable, notable and otherwise Joined
with millionaires, thieves and trampi
in thronging the gambling dens of Re
no to watch the last whirl of the rou
lette wheel, give the last shake to the
merry dice and copper the last bet—for
at midnight all gambling licenses ex
pired and there went into effect the
law passed by the last legislature pro
hibiting gambling.
It was the passing away of the last
of the frontier touches. Divorcees who
have whiled away many a weary hour
of their weary six months’ wait gazing
in rapture at the little white ball seek
ing its own particular pocket, flocked
to the dens for a last little fling. Other
women who have lived in Reno all their
lives without crossing the threshold of
R gambling house tossed their scruples
aside and went to be in at the death.
It Was Fateful Night.
Men of all nationalities and no na
tionalities, men of all occupations and
no occupations were with them. It was
the last night and as the fateful hour
of midnight approached the excitment
became intense.
Before every table the players banked
themselves eight deep. And among
them was the “Harmony Kid,” a youth
of unobtrusive appearance with a
penchant for shaking dice and creat
ing honest gamblers. His plan is sim
ple. He merely substitutes his own
dice for those on the table—and then
wins. He was in one place but four
minutes and then slipped away $500 to
the good.
At the stroke of midnight the gam
bling world of Reno ceased revolving.
Over the enticing red and black were
thrown white cloths. The wheel*
stopped going round and the crowd
poured itself out, shrill feminine voice*
telling of winnings, others muttering
of losses.
Playing Was Light.
The play was not heavy. The gam
blers realized that there would be no
chance to recoup on the morrow and
professional gamblers were given $5
and $10 limits. Full courtesies were
shown, however, to the strangers and
Inexperienced ones, who were allowed
to play as much as they liked.
There was some talk of the place*
being open the next day, as the state
law does not got into effect until mid
night Sunday and the sheriff declared
that as the next day was a legal hol
iday on account of a bond election, they
could not be renewed for the inter
vening 24 hours. In Carson City, Fal
lon and Winnemucca, where there ha*
been gambling almost since the towns
Bprang up, the play ceased some
days ago.
In Dissipated Quag.
From the Washington Star.
"They must think wo are in a bad
way here in New York,” said Francla >
Wilson at the Players’ club. "They
must think we are as hopeless as the
temperance audience in Quag."
Mr. Wilson was condemning the pro
posed law to imprison for a year any
person arrested twice for drunkenness.
He resumed:
"A drummer attended a Quag tem
perance lecture one night. The aud
ience was enthusiastic. It cheered
every point that the lecturer made.
Yet the lecturer had a red nose and a
shaky hand, while an unpleasant odor
of alcohol made the air of the hall
heavy.
! “‘Are they all teettotalers here?1 the
Srummer whispered to a neighbor, sus
iciously.
“ ‘Yes sir,’ was the reply, ’all strict
teetotalers—betw'een the drinks.’ ’’
The Best He Could Do.
From Everybody's.
Up in Minnesota Mr. Olsen had a cow
killed by a railroad train. In due sea
son the claim agent for the railroad
called.
“We understand, of course, that the
deceased was a very docile and valu
able animal,” said the claim agent in
his most persuasive claim-agentleman
ly manner, “and we sympathize with
you and your family in your loss. But,
Mr. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your cow had no business being upon
Our tracks. Those tracks are our priv
ate property and when she Invaded
them she became a trespasser. Tech
nically speaking, you, as her owner,
became a trespasser also. But we have
no desire to carry the issue into court,
and possibly give you trouble. Now,
what would you regard as a fair settle

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY IS LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLD’S PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark it aa
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi
cation of Great Work.
Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition In
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question of
where this Exposition is to be held
will be settled by Congress at Its ap
proaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed Immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy of the term
"World’s Fair,” such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucational movement. Its success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula
tion who can secure Its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost in railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans’ claims to being the “Logi
cal Point” for this Panama Exposi
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
Dy tne roi lowing tacts:—
New Orleans Is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco is 2,500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within a radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 2,000,000.
Within a radius of 1,000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,000.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 6,000,000.
At an average of 900 miles from
New' Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 20,000,000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with a com
bined population of just 1,000,000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,—
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over 75 per cent, of the people of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex
pense for railroad fare of $12.50, as
against an average of $37.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many of our readers will wish to
visit this World’s Panama Exposi
tion, and if held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could go to San Francisco. There
fore, we urge our readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN j
TROUBLE
“I began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. I went to see a great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after I noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. I had an
inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When I showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was so sick and had be
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
“I had seen the advertisement of
the Cutlcura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for I had already used so
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that I was never so pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad If people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha SachB,

WOMAN WITNESS
IN LORIMER CASE
CONFIRMS WHITE
Prosecution Seeking to Cor
roborate Story of Man Who
Testified That He Was
Bribed.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 3.—Miss Mollle
Vandeveer, n stenographer of East St.
Louis, was tho first witness called In
the Lorlmer Investigation today. She
testified that about the middle of June.
Representative 'White, who claims to
have received $1,000 for voting for Mr.
Lorlmer, returned to East St. Louis
and paid a number of accounts. Ho
exhibited a large roll of bills, she said.
In denominations of $50, $20 and $10.
This was subsequent to the date when
White says ho received $850 from Lee
O’Neil Browne.
“Mr. Whtto paid me $50.50," said
Miss Vandeveer. He owed me $05."
“Why were you not paid in full?”
"Well, Mr. White owed so much that
I felt sorry for him, und compromised
for $50.50. Ho owed so many people
that I was afraid his money would not
go around."
Link Tells His Story.
State Representative Michael S.
Link, who received $1,000 he says, after
voting for Lorlmer for senator, and
$000 from the so-called St. Louis "jack
pot,” told the committee that when ho
received the money he thought It was
for campaign expenses.
Link, who Is a large, rotund man,
testified with occasional bursts of blus
ter and In a loud voice. He was asked
If he was surprised when Lee O’Neil
Browne asked him if he, a democrat,
could vote for Mr. Lorlmer.
“We’ll pnss that question,” replied
Link bluntly.
The senators of the committee looked
at him In surprise and disapproval
upon noticing which Link modified his
answer:
“I was either surprised or not sur
prised; that Is my answer.”
Beat Browne to It.”
He testified that when Browne asked
him if he could vote for Mr. Lorimer.
he. Link, laughed and replied:
"Lee I’ve got It on you I beat you to
It. I’ve already promised Mr. Lorimer
that I would vote for him.”
Witness said that he had met Browne
at St. Louis at the latter’s request and
Browne had handed him a package*
saying. “Here’s a package for you."
"I opened It," continued Link, “and
found $1,000 In It.”
“Did you ask what it was for?"
"No, I Just took It.”
“What did you think It was for?”
"For campaign expenses."
Similar testimony was given by Link
regarding a package containing $000
which he said was given him by State
Representative Robert E. Wilson at St.
Louis. He considered this as campaign
money, also.
Duress Is Charged.
Attorney Hunecy told the committee
he would contend that the witness.
Link, was under duress while In cus
tody before he made his confession.
“After being In custody for nearly a
week,” Link testified. “State's Attor
ney Wayman, of Cook county, told me
I had been indicted for perjury, and
told me if I would go before the grand
Jury and say I received money from
Browne and Wilson, I could go home
a free man."
Chairman Burrows asked:
“Is it the truth that you received
$1,000 from Browne?"
"I shall not deny It," replied Link.
"Did you receive $1,000 from Browne
for voting for Lorimer?” asked Attor
ney Hanecy?
“That is not the truth."
BROOKINS WINS BIG
PRIZE JNJS FLIGHT
Breaks World's Record for Sus
tained Time in the Air and
Gets $10,000.
Springfield, 111., Oct. 3.—Aviator
Walter Brookins alighted gracefully in
the fairgrounds at 4:27 p. in., yester
day. seven hours and 12 minutes out
of Chicago, after having sailed his
Wright biplane the 187 miles with two
stops. These were at Gilman. 111., 75
miles from Chicago, at 11:30 a. in., anil
at Mt. Pulaski, 111., 163 miles from Chi
cago, ut 3:20 i). m. The first stop was
for water, oil and gasoline, the second
for that and because his pump had
broken and the engine became hot.
Brookins In Ills long sail broke the
American long distance continued flight
record and therein- won the $10,000
prize offered by the Chicago Record -
Herald which conducted the attempt.
Asked uhout the flight he said:
"Why, It was nothing only staying
up. That's all. It merely took time—
more than usual—and that’s about the
only difference from a practice flight.
I knew 1 could make it.
"It was one of the prettiest flights
I ev^r made. The country between Chi
cago and here is delightful. Every
where 1 was flying low enough—and I
went as low us 300 feet several times
—I could see people staring up ut me
from every acre almost. There must
have been three-fourths of a million
looking up at me.
“My arms are tired, of course, and
It was a strain because I had to watch
all the while; but I am good for the
same thing right now. If necessary."
WTilbur Wright s only comment was:
"As the woman says, T told you so.’ "
