GOnStOck Letter,
VIRGINIA CITY, Sept. 81, IS,

VIRGINIA CITY, Sept. 81, 'S3.
EDITOR TIMEs:-I have concluded
to send you few items this week,
but there is not much news TO write,
for times here are not what they used
to be in the days of the big bonan-
zas; still they are not by any means
as dull as they might be. 1t is true
you can see the ominous sign of ''to
rent" or "for sale" in a great many
places, and it is also true that many
of the awning posts along street
are supported by large number of
men, who like Micawber, are always
waiting for something to turn up.
There is, however, large mum Der
of men at work, and if there is any
wisdom in the trite aphorism that
"coming events cast their shadows
BEFORE" venture to say that the day
is not far distant when Virginia City
will be as prosperous as at any time
since the discovery of the great lode.
Let them say what they will about
Virginia being gone to the dogs, but
there is more money and more peo-
pie in this camp to-day, aud more
pay rock lying dormant at the base
of Mount Davidson than there is IN
all the other camps in the State put
together. OF course we will make
an exception of Como; and this cir.
cumstance, combined with the fact
that people will pay assessments
here when they will not pay them
elsewhere, forces me to the conclu-
sion that things will not remain at
stand still any great length of time,
for as long as there are so many men
engaged in sinking shafts and run
ming drifts and tunnels through the
auriferous and argentiferous hills of
this camp large bodies OF ore are
bound to be found, which will enable
Virginia to live and prosper for many
years to come.
There was grand ball given here
last week in honor OF the California
rifle team. The ball was a success
in point of attendance, but as much
as the dudes of the Comstock were
allowed to occupy the floor to the
almost entire exclusion of a large
number OF respectable people who
paid their money and were as much
entitled to dance as anybody, 1t can
not be said that il was a success in
point of management. The Com
stock dude has more cheek than
band OF government mules, and had
it not been that they were allowed 10
monopolize things the affair would
have been the pleasantest that has
taken place on the Comstock Tor
some time CoMsToCK.

Mormons Tarred and Feaihered

A Brookville, Indiana, dispatch
says that for several weeks past a
pair Of Mormon elders have been
preaching 10 the country. On Mon
day night Miss Annie, the eighteen
year old daughter OF MIR. Adams
disappeared from her home. Search
was instituted and she was found
concealed in a house at Cedar Grove
where the elders were visiting. She
had been converted into the "Church
of Jesus Christ" by one Of the elders
and had been in hiding several days
before she was discovered by her
parents. With the utmost difficulty
she was persuaded to return home,
as she wished to go to Utah. A few
nights after the elders were found in
a house few miles from Laurel.
About midnight they received call
from about $50 able bodied men,
who escorted them to the woods,
where they made them strip and
submit to a coat of tar and feathers.
They were then threatened with
lynching if they did not leave the
country speedily.

smoke is dense enough to make the

The ranchers of Mason Valley are
considerably excited over the fact
that horse and cattle thieves are
making frequent visits to their
ranches and running off stock. 1t
is stated that there is regular or
ganized band of these thieves, and
that they all live at or close to the
Switch, and also that several parties
who belong to the gang are known,
but there is not sufficient evidence
to convict them should they be ar
rested and brought to trial. Many
of the citizens are talking about or
ganizing a shot gun brigade to rid
the country of this band, and it
would probly be good idea for the
cowboys to go little slow forawhile
or serious trouble may arise,

POIygamnus Indians.

Commissioner Price, of the Indian
Bureau, has assumed to make laws
governing the social relations of the
Indian tribes. He prohibits dances
where torture is practiced, and also
polygamy. Some of the Indian
agents say that if an attempt is made
to enforce these orders there will be
trouble and an outbreak. The In
dams say that from time lmmemori-
al polygamy has been practiced
among them and some of them would
as soon give up their lives as their
wives. The matter will be brought
before Congress as soon as it con-
venes.

Representative from Vermont. q There is no
regular rate of pension for the disability de-
scribed; II may be any rate above S4. B. The rating
In your at Sl2 appears to be fair rating as
compared with Others having similar disability.
lt Is medical question depending entirely upon
the report of examining surgeon. If your disability
should increase, apply again for increase and you
may be successful 4 There is no difference in the
rating for impaired vision, caused by disease by
gun-shot wound. The disability itself is rated, not
the cause of same.

worst cases of falling hair in ten days by the

HOW THE HAIR GROWS ON THE BALD
HEAD.

The head is most frequently years IN becoming
bald In this time the epidernis becomes hard and
smooth and the foliieies eectually closed. 1t is
for this reason that we insist SO strongly on the
rubbing OF the scalp before the application of
the Grower; the surface becomes soft and pliable
and the glands and tissues absorb more readily the
food SO necessary to their development. The roots
of the hair do not leave the scalp. When the hair
falls out the young hair is still alive and healthy
but, like any form Of vegetable life, cannot force
It's way through the hard crust but lies dormant
until the surface is softened; the glands and tissues
can then absorb the hair food (axin to manure in
the vegetable world; the weak life is stimulated
into energy and activity and the hair starts on
a fresh growth, under and favorable condi-
tons

1t will be readily seen by this cut that though the
hair is gone from the surface it is still alive and
healthy beneath the scalp, and is only prevented
from growing By the contraction of the foliice in
which it should grow. Find q substance that will
give sufficient elasticity to the follicle and add the
necessary food the tissue requires and the new hair
will force its way out, and the previously bald
head will be covered with new hair. These are
facts that can be readily attested and that all ply
scians admit: this substance Is found only IN the
