The Fair a Gratifying Success and the

The reports of General Powning, Pres
ident of the State Agricultural Associa-
ton and of G. H. Stoddard, the Score.
tary, are published in the Reno Journal.
The President says:
The Fair of 1887 was gratifying sue
cess. The display Of stock in the First
Department was conceded to be the
largest and best ever seen on parade in
the State, and furnished abundant proof
that the stockmen and farmers of Ne
vada are making wonderful progress in
improving their herds, and in raising
thoroughbred animals both for the range
and for the farm. The displays made by
E. w. Crutcher, of Humboldt county,
the Vail Bros, of Churchill county, E.
c. Hardy, Of Elko county, Scott & Co.,
of Elko county, Marsh & Son, of Lyon
county, C. G. Stevenson, Of Storey, s. ?.
Davis, of Ormsby, would have surprised
those that have been led to believe that
Nevada produced only gold and silver.
In fact the eyes of some of our own
people were opened wide with astonish-
ment. Proper credit is due Senator
Stanford, of California, for ordering a
large herd Of his famous Holsteins On ex-
hibition at this Fair, and to Jesse Harris,
of Colorado, for his contribution OF six
magnificent Cleveland Bay stations,
both of which added largely to the
attractiveness of the stock parade.
The display of E. w. Crutcher entitled
him to the special and generous premium
of $50, offered by w. o. b. Martin, Of
Reno. for the best exhibit OF Nevada
live stock. The Pavilion exhibits were
numerous and varied, that of the Ladies
Art Society OF Carson, being especially
| imposing and attractive, and resulting IN
their being awarded the Presidents gold
medal. for the best exhibit in any de
partment.

REBEL CREEK NOTES.
skeleton OF white Man Found I'm the
ROcks-signs OF Spring.
REBEL CREEK. Feb. l3, 1883.

REBEL CREEK, Feb. l3, 1888.
Ed. SILVER STATE: A few days ago
F. P. Snapp and Marion Nofsinger, while
hunting horses near the Granite mountain
about two miles south of Rebel Creek,
found the skeleton of man between
two large rocks. They supposed that it
was the remains of an Indian until they
discovered that one Of the teeth had been
filed, which proved conclusively that it
was what was left of white man. A
remnant of the clothing was found near
the bones and the position of the skeleton
indicated that the body had been pushed
down between the rocks to conceal it.
Now the question is who was the man,
and was he killed by whites or Indians
The coat was dark blue pilot cloth with
velvet collar, and the bones denote that
the man was of large stature.
1t has been raining here at intervals
for two days, and grass is getting green
in the valleys and foothills. Stock of all
kinds look well; farmers have commenced
to pillow for Spring crops.
The snow is disappearing from the
mountains, and prospectors will soon re-
sumo their vocation.

in Oregon.

He Was Found Hanging in His Cabin
in oregon.
Nearly every old Humboldter remem-
bers J. w. Graves, better known as Bill
Graves, who was one Of the first white
men who came to the Humboldt mines.
He left here for Washington Territory
eight or nine years ago, and settled at
Juniper, Umatilla county, Oregon. Last
Monday his lifeless body was found hang
ing from q rafter of his cabin at that
place. 1t seems that he labored under
the hallucination that he could not pay
his debts. and that idea so preyed upon
his mind that he took his own life, though
his property is said to be valued at sew
eral thousand dollars more than enough
to meet his liabilities. He was always
eccentric, though strictly honest, and had
no bad habits except fondness for the
game of poker.
Peace to the ashes Of poor Bill.

Two ways. Choose which!

There are two usual ways of doing what Nature
sometimes does incompletely, namely, to re-
lieve the bowels. One is to swallow a drastic
purga.ve which evacustes profusely, abruptly
and with pain, the other is to take Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, the effect Of which is not vie
lent, bat sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grippe the intestines. II the first is selected,
the person employing it need not expect perman-
emit benefit and he cannot hope to escape the de-
or worse OF than before II, on the other hand,
he resorts to the Btters, he can rely upon the
restoration OF regular habit of body, consequent
upon renewal Of healthful tone in the intes-
final canal. Besides BEAUTIFULLY relax ag the
bowels, the Bitters arouses dorasnt liver, i'm

Can Animals Count.

From animal Arithmetic" by Nine Clcmcncc
Roger In the Popular Science Monthly for he.
ccmbcr,
Ilouzcau do Ia Hale tells OF pelican
living in fishermans family at Santo
Domingo that was fed upon the refuse Of
the h-cleaning. Looking for its food, il
went to the shore every day and wal ted for
the boats to come back, The fishermen
rested on Sunday, and the bird acquired
30 clear a notion of the return OF that day,
when it had TO fast, that it would not stir
from the tree on which il was accustomed
to spend its time. 1t is not necessary to
suppose that the pelican had learned to
count the six days at the end of which its
masters would not 20 fishing; but, while il
really estimated daily the time when il
must make its excursion 10 the shore, il
was informed of the return Of SUNDAY by
observation OF what was going on in the
house, as, for instance, 10y the fishermen
putting ON their Sunday clothes; in the
same way as the dog knew when its master
was going to hunt by seeing him with his
gun and gamc-bag. In such instances,
animals show that they have the faculty
OF associIting ideas. of Observing consecu-
tive facts, and establishing corrcla,ivo
connection hrtwccn them-things which
have been proved 10y abundance OF other
evidence, and which demonstrate not less
intelligence than acquaintance with tho
ten signs exposing the first ten numbers,
or the use OF system Of Enumeration to
express larger numbers.

When train is prevented from arriving

Of these rules can be stated within limits.
They are rs follows

ming on delayed time, lose more time, or
in any other way should both trains get
behind time, then the one which Is bound
In n certain diroction-for instance North
Hhas the right TO the track, and the other
