A SALOON PERFUMED.


Woman is not always given credit for be-
ing clever, but nevertheless, if she makes
up her mind to thing, she will have it her
way or make it interesting for those who oP.
pose her.
woman up at St. Helena is the wife of
man who loves TO hang around certain grog
bazaar, and in so doing he sorely neglects
the helpmeet who sits patiently at home and
mends his socks. Many time and oft had
she reasoned with him in her quiet, motherly
way, and tried to point out to him the dis
graceful way in which he was using her, but
all to no purpose. She even went so far as
to request the teller in the foresaid boose
emporium that he cease selling her husband
liquor. But the poison mixer babe her go
hence and exchange New Years calls with
herself, but she turned on her heel and left
his hateful presence.
That evening as she sat alone she heard
racket down in the cellar, and upon investi-
CATION found that skunk had got its tail in
the rat trap. Now, it is a well-known fact
that skunk will hold its peace as long as
his bushy tail is held, whether in the trap or
in the hand, and remembering this she had
no fear.
Suddenly a bright thought entered her
head. The clock in the house was striking
I and she wanted papa to come home. With
a quick movement she threw bag over the
animals head, and after grasping its tail,
opened the trap, and thus armed headed for
the saloon. 1t was only a short distance
away, and finding the door partly open, she
tossed the skunk into the midst of the crowd
and swiftly stole away.
Ii had the desired effect and papa came
home.
The saloon-keeper, who never took va
cation before in his life, has gone into the
country to visit relatives, and the saloon is
closed for repairs. -Ast0ria Pioneer.

Smallpox.

There are four cases of smallpox in Can
delaria. The Piutes have been driven out Of
the towns out that way, and great many
Of them are coming to Carson and Virginia
City, while not few are stopping here and
in Mason Valley. 1t would be good idea
for the C. & c. people to stop them from
riding on the trains now for awhile, also for
people in Dayton TO prohibit the squaws from
coming into their yards and houses, for they
are more apt to spread the disease than are
white people. There is also case of this
disease in Virginia City, and, although our
climate is healthy one, our people should
take every precaution against exposure.

A BIG DITCH.
Hall and Simpson, of smiths Valley,
Completing an Enterprise Started
seven Years Ago.

VI
Completing an Enterprise Started
seven Years Ago.
Work is progressing quite rapidly now on
the large ditch being built by Hall and
purposes. A number of men are employed
and large ditching machine is being used
which greatly facilitates work, so that it will
not be great while before the ditch is com.
pleted. This ditch was started by Messrs.
Hall and Simpson about seven years ago,
and the heaviest work was then done. Fer
time the enterprise was discontinued, and
last Fall work was again begun. The ditch
is probably the largest in the country, being
twelve feet wide at the bottom and sixteen
feet wide at the top. 1t is taken cut Of the
West Walker river al point about one mile
above Wellington Station and runs down to
Kinds Het Springs, distance Of about ten
miles. Between these two points and along
the line OF the ditch is a fiat Of the finest
agricultural land in the State. This fat is
on an average TOUR miles Ill Wluln ana ABOUT
eight miles long, and it is for the purpose of
irrigating this land that the ditch is being
built, as it is understood that the owners,
Messrs. Hall and Simpson, intend putting in
large number of acres to alfalfa as soon as
| they secure enough wafer to assure good
crops The ditch being SO large it would
| appear to many that it would take all the
| water from the river. This, however, is not
the case. There are fine reservoir sites on
the land, and it is the intention of the pro-
jecto.s of this scheme to store the water
there when there is plenty inste ad of letting
it 90 10 waste. This will give them all the
water they requite and at the same time not
take any from the ranchers lower down on
the river who have older rights Hall and
Simpson are now about the heaviest taxpay
ers in this county and their enterprise is a
great one, also good one, for it will mater
| ally increase the valuation of quite large
| tract of land in that section Of the country,
as we'll as increase their facilities for raising
and feeding beef cattle.

Surprise Party

There was very pleasant surprise party
at the residence of c. o. Damon, at Wabus-
ka, last Friday evening. There was both
vocal and instrumental music by the guests,
and Charlie rendered a comic song or two in
excellent style. At midnight all present
sat down to a sumptuous supper, after which
dancing was INDUCED in until nearly day
light, when the company dispersed, congrat
ulating themselves on having had such de-
thought of losing Charlie and his estimable
wife from their midst. They leave soon
for Shasta county, CAL, to take up thier
residence.

If Lyon county is 10 have fair this year
why would it not be good idea to begin to
make preparations now. 1t is early, OF
course, but from past experience it has been
shown that those who ha We the matter in
hand need some little time to act. Last year
nothing was done towards making prepare
tons for fair until about two weeks before
the date it was held, and consequently hall
the people in the county, this end especially,
did not know for certainty that there was
to be fair. 1t goes without saying, that
the fair was not success, financially, or any
other way. If everybody in this county
would take just little interest in the fail
we could make showing that would equal
any county in the State. Why not do iii

nIUy Q1Her6nC makes OF
these instruments of torture. There are
special kinds for flat women and full
women, for short waists and long waists,
for matron and maid, for thin women
and fat women, and hygienic cor
sets of various kinds for women
variously afflicted. Corsets for feshy
women are made of the stouteSt stuffs
procurable, and are extra long. All
tleshy women lace more OF less, and
their corsetS must be fashioned to stand
the strain and to hold in the obstinate,
bulgy flesh to the lowest possible point.
There are magnetic corSetS for weak
women. They contain from $50 to 200
small magnets fastened in between the
two Innings. The sensation produced by
them, as described by one young woman,
is "a pleasant warmth, that's a great
deal like being in love-" What a de-
light to surplus women! With not a
man on their horizon, they can
grid themselves in magnetic corset
and never feel the difference. Mrs.
Wheelock, Mrs. Crawford Livingston
and Mrs. Pope have their corsets made
to order in st. Louis. The maj ority of
st. Paul women, however, are satisfied
with the best of the ready-made articles.

corset costs from Sc to 81, but the wear
ing qualities make it the cheapest
in the end. Brides affect white, and
young ladies with plenty of money, diff
ferentcolored' satin corsets, to match
the delicate shades of their ball cos
tunes. For summer wear come corsets
as thin as fly net and proportionately
comfortable. They have the necessary
bones covered with sateen, and the body
of firm netting, that gives ones fever
ish flesh the ghost of a chance to estab-
fish connection with the wandering
breezes. StrOng-minded women, whose
advancing ideas rebel against the thrall-
dom of whalebOne, buckram and steel,
and whose vanity hesitates at making
perfect frights OF themselves, effect
compromise in the corset waist-a thing
OF jean and cords, that gives a figure
just enough trimness to remind us what
the woman of the past has been, and
just enough slop-overness to suggest
what the coming woman will be.
