AS our readers are no doubt aware,
the Sells Bros Monster 50-Cage Me-
nagerie and Great Four Ring Circus
will exhibit, without fail, at RUSSELL
Vile, on Thursday, October End.
While 1t is true that all the praise we
might bestow upon the big show would
be superfuous, still we cannot refrain
from saying that it is by all odds the
best show in creation, and supplement-
ing the remark with a notice clipped
from the Kansas City Journal of May
27th. Here it is:
SELLS CIRCUS.
A large concourse of people met in
the city yesterday from all parts of the
country adjacent, for the purpose of
taking in what they knew from past
experience would be satisfactory
show. The incoming railroad trains
during the morning were all loaded
down with people from the country
and surrounding towns. eager TO see
what surprise the Sells Brothers had in
store for them this season. 1t seems to
be fast growing into habit with a
large number of people never to miss a
circus and menagerie when brought
here by the Sells brothers, and it was
for this reason that thousands of peo-
pie came into town yesterday.
In the equestrian ring every act was
of the best. The fearless bareback
riding of James Robinson was admired
and applauded; no more. however.
than the dashing and intrepid lady
bareback rider. Mile Cordona, who
carried the audience by storm. Her
balloon jumping act certainly stamps
her as leader and at the head MS a fe-
male barebacl; rider. Miss Maggie
Claire on the aerial rings displayed
both nerve aud skill, and the applause
she received was well merited. The
brother acts were well executed. aad
the bicycling by The Stirk family was
well worth the price of admission. The
dog eli Gus was the best ever exhibited
here, aud the tumbling was far above
the ordinary. The only unsatisfactory
feature to what might otherwise have
been most landahlc exhibition was
that OF giving all the best acts in the
ring to the left Of the dressing-room
entrance. There being $4,000 persons
present, 1000 Of them were at The
wrong end all the time, and large
number Of the audience manifested
their dissatisfaction by retiring before
the conclusion of the performances. IL

TRIBUTE

tn the memory of Mrs. Ro6t. Carr,
who departed this life August 90
1884,
She was devoted christian. She
leaves a husband and six children to
mourn her loss.
She lived for those who loved her,
For those she knew were true;
For the heaven that smiled above he,
And the good that she might do.
She was loving to her children,
And to her husband kind;
"Meet me-" she said Sin heaven"
All whom leave behind.
Me thinks hear her say
"Dear husband cease your weeping
I'll rise again the Judgement day
am not dead, but sleeping"

Clerk of the Senate. Mr.. Doten has
passed the hest years of his life in
Nevada battling for the Republican
cause, and this.is the first time that he
has asked for anything at the hands Of
the party. He IS talented and
thorough newspaper man, and has the
support of, not only the solid Lander
County delegation, but every newspaper
in the State. II all the attaches OF the
two branches of the Legislature should
be as competent as the two gentlemen
named, it can be safely SAID that the
clerical work of the session will be per
formed in satisfactory manner.

Last Thursday several noble red
men, evidently DESTROYS Of properly
celebrating the National holiday, gave
a former inmate of the county bastile
a dollar with which to purchase a
bottle of whisky. Instead of perform
ing his commission, the pale face
embezzled the dollar and drank whisky
on his own account. The Piutes
captured him about seven O'Clock il
the evening and demanded either the
whisky or the silver. Not having
either, the commission merchant was
mute. The Indians stripped him
nearly naked in their efforts to find
something on him that was worth the
amount of the embszzlement, but
failed, and very discontentedly let him
go. Thus the noble red man Is
thwarted in bis efforts to attain civili-
cation.

The Harden Hand Grenade.

NJ. II. Yerington, of Carson, Supply
Agent of the V. & T. r. R., has been
appointed general agent for the Harden
Hand Grenade Fire Extinguisher for
this portion of the State. He was in
Hawthorne on Monday and gave some
very successful exhibitions OF the eff.
cacy of the invention. The Scientific
american has the following to say of it:
The manner in which it is used is, as
has been before stated, 10 simply break
the grenade, generally throwing 1t by
hand, in such manner that the con.
tents will be liberated into the flames"
One or more of them may also be
hung up around workshops, factories,
or offices in places where any danger
of fire may be apprehendcd, as it takes
very little direct heat of the flames
upon them to explode the bottles and
liberate the flre-extipgulshing gases.
All managers of fire departments lay
great stress upon the Importance Of
checking conaae ration in its incipi.
ent stages, and liberal use of these
stationary grenades through buildings
generally would undoubtedly prove
most efficient in this direction, while
those thrown by hand are far more
efficient and easily available than any
number of buckets of water would be.
In accordance with an order from
the Navy Department, Chief Engineer
sherwood made tests of this grenade
and reported thereon with great detail
in most emphatic commentator of its
excellent qualities. He says:
1.-THE department may have entire
confidence in the ability of these gre
nades to extinguIsh flames, and in very
large masses, incipient fires, that is to
say, fires just commencing, in which
the mass of flame IS not great and with
not much solid combustible, in igni-
tion, can be extinguished almost
itstantaneously and with very little
material. For the protection of valu.
able papers and other combustible
matter in fireproof building, am OF
opinion that every room should be
supplied with the grensdes, and that
proper number should be kept convc-
nicntiy in the corridors ready for
instant use by the Waterman. There
is no doubt the mixture within the

A New Paper.

There has been something of n dis
pute among the stockholders Of the
Eureka Leader as to the policy of the
paper during the recent campaign.
When purchased two years ago by
Judge Rives and R. Sadler, Democrats,
and Thomas Wren and NJ. D. Flo ley,
Republicans, it was agreed that the
paper should remain Republican. Mr..
Sadler received the nomination of his
party for State Senator, and w. J.
Penrose, the editor of the Leader, with
a reckless disregard for his bread and
butter, refused to bend the suppllant
knee in obedience to the commands of
his Democratic employer. Mr.. Sadler,
with high-minded detestation of the
independent spirit that dared to write
Republican editorials for Republican
paper, demanded Of his partners that
Mr.. Penrose be discharged. Here he
again met with most provoking
independence, and sued for dissolu-
ton of partnership. At the sale of The
property he bid it in and Mr.. Penrose
found his occupation gone. And now,
notwithstanding Mr. Sadler's hostility,
Mr.. Penrose has the astonishing
temerity TO announce that he will
commence "the publication of The
Republican Press, thoroughly Repub-
lican paper, to be issued for the present
weekly, and as soon as business will
justify it, daily" The incoming
officials of Eureka County being
Republican, it wouldn't b. at all sur
prising IL Mr.. Penrose should be
supported in his audacious resensmen,
of capitalistic influence.
