Tribune speaks very highly of Assembly,
man Howell. We quote: IF ever 8
representative worked honestly and faith
fully for constituency that representa-
tive is Assemblyman Howell, of Lincoln
county The ono principle object for
which he came to the Nevada Legisla:
ture was by its aid to bring the attention,
if possible, Of Congress to the necessity
of appropriating funds for the improve.
ment of the Colorado river. To this end
he secured the passage of a memorial to
Congress soliciting its aid, but our repre-
sentatives at Washington did not even
display an act of courtesy by presenting
the memorial before Congress. I'm
daunted Howell introduced bill to APP
propriate $1,000 to send Commissioner
to Washington, for the purpose of getting
a portion of the river and harbor appre-
priation extended to the Colorado river,
which flows go miles along the south
eastern border of Nevada. Every OBJ
stacle was put in Howell's way to defeat
his measure by friends of the Nevada
Congressman, but he worked assiduously
and earnestly, and finally passed it in
the House. Then came the struggle in
the Senate, and the outlook was extreme
ly discouraging. Senator Dennis making
a special fight against the bill. Howell
worked like Trojan night and day, and
succeeded in delaying action until he was
satisfied that he had the necessary num-
Der to pass the bill, which was not
secured until 10 o'clock of the night OF
adjournment 1t was the hardest fought
battle and best earned victory of the
session, and the people of Lincoln owe
an everlasting debt OF gratitude to their
young and vigilant Representatives"
ExzINA.-There is disease with which
a number of children in Eureka, says the
Sentinel, are afflicted The doctors call
it exzima 1t appears first as pimply
eruption on the skin of the face princi-
pally, but appears also on other parts of
the body. The plmples break after itch
ing intolerably for a day or SO, and run
together, forming surface OF scabs.
| These scabs, in few days more, dry up
| and Turn into a sort OF scurf or scales.
In time this scurf disappears, and then
the pimples come again, when the same
| process of Inflammation and drying up is
| repeated. This skin trouble, exzima, or
whatever else you may call it, seems to
defy the skill of the physicians, and
holds on to the child afflicted with it for
two or three years, when, seeming to
1 have xpnrl-al ,tsalr 49, kn hIAaI -
disappears as suddenly as it comes.
