Obituary.

i On Sunday last, at IS minutes
past 8, the State Prison mule died
of old age.
The date of his birth is not def
nitely fixed, but it was long before
Nevada was rocked in the cradle of
Statehood or the Emancipation
Proclamation was issued.
He was rated at SO years Of age,
but Jim Townsend and ether con-
temporaneous authors hold him to
be ten or twenty years older. He
was there doing good service for the
State in the Hymsn administration,
but was not implicated in any of
the scandals of that regime, and al
though administrations changed he
still held his place by reason of
his fidelity of character and habits
of quiet but unobstruslve industry.
He loved his rocky home, and
never, under any circumstances,
forsook his oats.
He died mainly from the fact
that his front teeth grew to be 80
long that he could not masticate his
food, aud he subsisted on bran-mash
for the last six months.
There was genuine sorrow
throughout the building when it was
known that the poor mule whose
heart had never known guile, had
died. His old familiar bray will
never more be heard, nor his CHEEKY
lace be poksd in at tho door.

Successfully solved fer Carson.
For : good many years past var
ious dealers have attempted to fur
nish Carson with coal, bat the high
freight rates and the original ceet
Of tho article where it was mined
have prevented the Introduction Of
tho article except At > very high
price.
Recent discoveries Of coal IN Utah
aad : reduction of freight rates
through the Interstate Commerce
bill has enabled dealers to secure
the article at much lower figures
than heretofore.
Felsome and Dunn have made
arrangements with the owners Of
the Pleasant Valley ceal mines in
Utah, SO that they can lay coal
down at SIS ton in retail lots, SIG
per single ton and $3.50 per ton
by the ca load.
This coal burns slowly with ire
mendous heat, leaves very little
ash and no clinkers whatever.
Every ounce of it is burned and
experiments made in this city by
leading firms demonstrate that one
ton OF coal is equal to two and
half cords of wood.
The two and half cords Of wood
laid down costs $l4 and tho saving,
splitting and carrying it into . shed
runs it up to $3.50 a. against
ton OF coal, costing, delivered in tho
shed at SIG, saving Of $3.50.
The gas works have taken . car
load on trial and will order 100 tons
if the coal is what they expect.
The Reno gas wsrks bave tried
the coal and ordered 800 tens.
Numerous blacksmiths in the city |
have tried it and say it il the best
they have ever used, excepting for |
seme work, the heat is too strong.
Wood is gradually giving out in
this country and advancing in price.
The reduction in the price of fuel
comes in on excellent TINS and the
dealers hope to be able to deliver it
cheaper in another year.

STOVES

Our Stove and Range Department is
well supplied and therefore ready to meet
the increasing demands that will be made
upon it this fall. As rule we hold to
the Ranges that have given such unqual-
flied satisfaction in years past, and the
Quaker, New Tariff and First National
are as good and little better than ever,
as some valuable Improvements have
been made upon them without increasing
the cost TO the buyer. There are proba-
bly, more of these ranges in use in Maine
than there are six of any other makes.
We think it safe to say, no town in the
state is without our ranges. We were es-
pecially fortunate last season in our Wood
Heating Stoves, it being the first year but
what some were pronounced not satisfac-
tory in every case. We feel confident
that our line of ParlOr and Chamber Stoves
cannot be equaled in New England.
Send for cuts and prices of these goods
and any other that you may need, in
each case specify the article you wish to
see represented. Write to us as soon as
possible that you may have ample time
to consider and compare with those of
other dealers, if you so desire.
