A Unique Job.

Philo Knapp, the Virginia City manufac
turer Of bottled wind, was in town yester-
day, and while here he was called upon to
lay out of our old residents, and he did it in
a business like manner. The man was as
dead as door nail when Knapp laid him
out and the Coroner was summoned TO hold
an inquest upon the deceased. He indig-
nan,ly refused the job, and left Knapp and
his assistant to do the work. We want to
say that it was not the bottled goods that
Knapp sells that laid the old resident out but
stronger stuff from larger bottle.

Attempted Burglary %

Last Wednesday morning about l o'clock
Jim Lothrop, who sleeps in Flaws store,
where he clerks, heard noise at the front
door of the building and imagined that rob-
bers were trying to gain an entrance. He
thought he saw a man kneeling outside Of
the door trying to pick the lock, and seizing
pistol he fred a shot through the door.
Upon examining the door next morning no
evidence of an attempted burglary could be
found, but on the sidewalk was found tuft
of brindle hair, and the supposition is that
Jim took shot at Watson's big dog Brutus
while he was rubbing OF heas against the

A PERILOUS TRIP.
What an Assessor In Lyon County
Has to Undergo.

The first Of last week Assessor CARING
left Dayton to collect taxes in the lower end
of Mason Valley. He travelled as far as
Wabuska by rail, and at that point secured
saddle horse to make the rounds of the
valley, thinking that the trip could be more
easily made in that manner than with a
team, as the water in all the streams in the
valley is very high, and it is much handler
to swim horse across stream than it is to
get across with hore and buggy where
there is no bridge. Hugh transacted nearly
he received word that band of cattle was
being driven out Of the county, to Wads-
worth, to be shipped to California. 1t was
the Assessors duty to assess the cattle. He
found, upon further inquiry, that the cattle
would stop over night to feed and rest at
Barnett's Fl. Churchill ranch. and he imme-
diately saddled his horse and started out to
overtake the band. When he reached Bar
netts place he found the vaqueros there
with the cattle, but being weary from his
long ride Hugh did not mention what bust
ness he was on, but sought his bed early.
Somehow it leaked out that he was the As
SCISSOR. and in the morning when he arose
the cattle were gone. Hugh took in the
situation at once, and hastily swallowing
his breakfast he saddled his horse and again
started to overtake the band Of cattle. This
he succeeded in doing, by hard riding, just
before the county boundary line was reached.
He held the cattle until one of the vaqueros
went on to Wadsworth and informed the
owner Of the facts, and then into Wadsworth
and collected the taxes, and, after a rest re-
turned to Fl. Churchill, where he again
stayed over night. The next mo rning he
started for Wabuska. AS above stated the
water in the river is high and
swift, and the sloughs are also full. Just al
ter crossing the bridge at Fl. Churchill
slough bank full of water is encountered,
and horse b as to swim to roach the oppo-
site side. Hugh swan his horse across the
slough all right, but the bank on the further
side was quite steep, and the horse in trying
TO climb it fell over backwards, and went
under water completely with his rider. The
current carrie CARING down stream short
distance when he caught the branches Of an
overhanging tree and pulled himself out.
The horse was caught by vaquero, who
had gone ahead, and brought back. Hugh
mounted the animal again, and hatless and
soaked to the skin he made fresh start to
Wabuska, which place he reached in good
condition after not very comfortable ride.
His escape from drowning was a narrow one,
but he got what he went after and will again
soon be in the Valley ready to run down any
body who tries to beat the county out Of
taxes OH stock.

Deafness Cant be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taben out
and this tube restored to its normal condit-
ion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fol
any case Of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure with Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars. free.

Last Wednesday evening the Reno Re-
duction Works were almost totally destroyed
by fire. 1t is thought that the FIRE originated
from hot ore in the bins. The loss is esti-
mated at about $4,000. with insurance of
$Io,o 900. The loss is great one to Reno as
we'll as to the State. The works were just
becoming paying proposition. The CON-
pany will probably rebuild.

RAISE YOUR OWN cows.
One Good Cow Is Worth Two Poor
Ones.

One Good Cow is Worth Two Poor
Ones.
1t takes as much food and care to keep a
poor COW as it does to feed good one, and
while the former barely returns enough at
most to pay her way, the latter returns a
comfortable profit to her owner. These
farmers who are looking around for really
good cows know how difficult it is to buy
one, when found, at price they can afford
to pay. Yet they frequently keep ''looking
around" for several years, when they might,
in the same time, have raised several choice
cows themselves. OF course, it takes time
to rear good sized herd of profitable cows,
but this expenditure of time is only in lieu
of the money expenditure absolutely neces-
sary to purchase desirable animal. As
farmer usually can spare the time better than
he can spare the cash, it is easy to see what
Is the best course to pursue. There are but
few farmers who do not now have at least
one, two or three cows fairly good, which
can be used as a start in improvement. Do
not use scrub bull merely because your
neighbor happens to have him and charges
nothing, but rather pay a fair price for
good, pure-bred one. Save all the heller
calves and carefully raise them. When they
are about three years old, and less than four
years from the time the improvement is
started, you will have fine, young cows.
Other calves will also be coming on, from
them as we'll as from the original cows, and
in FIVE or six years there will be quite herd;
the common, Improbable cows having been
worked off to the butcher. Many farmer
wishes he had commenced FIVE or six years
ago. He does not think that he will likely
say the same thing FIVE or six years hence,
yet does not commence now. Good, pure
bred bulls have now become so we'll distrib-
uted, that the use Of one can usually be Sc
cured without much difficulty, while a good
bull calf can be had from such stock, eligi-
BILE to entry, for comparatively low price.
Enough can, as a rule, be counted on from
neighboring farmers herds to pay for his
keep.
