A Place Where Wood 10 go Cord and
Water Five Cents q Gallon.

CANprLAR1A is without doubt the
toughest and most uncomfortable min
ing camp in Nevada. The houses, what
there are of them, arc poorly built, and
the cold wind that has been blowing for
the past few days goes through them as
easily as it would through q sieve. A
great many people still live in tents.
Wood costs $40 Q cord apd IS scarce
and poor at that. It takes capitalist
to keep a fire going here. Water re:
tails at five cents gallon and is hauled
in wagons from Columbus-eight miles.
This water is not very good, being i'm
preenated with alkali, but the average
Candelarian doesn't care much for
that, the majority Of them preferring
beer. which, BY the way, Is sold at the
rate Of q bit q drink in many of the So

presence of a lot Of Bclleville people,
who are here attending the preliminary

killed Billy Bell in Belleville last Thurs.

the Belleville Hotel on Thursday even

The Beauty Of Badness.

A GREAT change has taken pace OF
late years with regard to the estimation
in which badness is held. Fifty years
400 it was viewed as a serious intlict'on'
q misfortune to be concealed by wig
or velvet skull cap. In some cases, no
doubt, the wig was intended to deceive,
and to give a Juvenile appearance to its
wearer. In the majority Of cases, how
ever, the covering was SO plainly artl.
fetal that it was clearly adopted not
from a motive of vanity, but simply to
hide an unpleasant object from the eyes
Of the world. OF lste years, however,
partly, it would appear, from the habit
of wearing boards having come into fash
ion, badness is far more common than
il used to be-. 1t may be that nature
furnishes to each human being sutfi-
cieocv of what may be called hair oint.
ment to support an average quantity Of
hair. and that when men allow their
boards to grow they do so to the detrl'
mento of the natural covering OF the scalp:
Certain it is that q large proportion OF
men with boards begin to grow bald at
an an. abnormally early age. Hitherto
however, they have, when questioned;
been willing to allow that they regarded
tho lack of hair as q drawback to their
personal appearance. They will now
be inclined to take higher ground, fol

respond to the requirements, In this there was no

generosity. However much narrow minded polite

are not governed By such considerations. They want

A NEW AND WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Too much cannot be said of the great boon
which humanity now enjoys in the wonderful
curative agent known throughout the world as
Days Kidney Pad. It's remarkable virtues are
recorded in every climate under the sun, and
there is no questioning the fact that 1t has
restored to health thousands who have been CIV
en- up by physicians az incurables. It's discovery
constitutes an epoch worthy Of commemoration,
for aside OF Its pOwar to dissipate disease, 1t is
superseding the nauseating physics which from
time immemorial, have afflicted our stomachs
and wrestled our very souls with detestation. In
the old school of medicine there was only one
kind Of absorption remedy known and used-the
fybliser Its effectiveness demonstrated the
value of the principle bat 1t visited the patient
with pains more difficult to endure than the dis.
ease and its application was the signal for the suf
ferer to begin an onslaught on the reputation OF
the physician. When considering the distressing
ills Of medicines employed, how keenly can those
who have used the Day Pad appreciate It's bene.
fcent effects; how truly enjoyable is the remedy,
that we could fairly embrace and pour out our
admiration upon the blessed genius who first dis
covered the ingredients out of which the Pad is
made.
