County Official Paper.
The State Silver Convention.

In the call for Convention Of the
people Of Nevada in the interests of
silver, to be held at Carson City on
Thursday, the 29th instant, it is
recommended that the people Of the
several counties meet at thor re-
spective Courthouses on Saturday,
May Oath, to elect delegates to said
Convention. The people Of Elko
county, without regard to politics,
"race, color or previous condition of
servitude" are unit in favor Of free
coinage, all OF which is we'll known to
cur representatives in Congress-; and
what it is proposed to accomplish at
the coming Convention we are not
advised. It is hardly probable that
eight residents of Elko county will be
willing to incur the expense Of a trip
to Carson unless it can be made ap-
parent that some permanent good
will result from such attendance. II
it we're possible that our Senators and
Representative entertained any doubt
as to the feelings Of their constituents
on the subject of free coinage, such a
meeting as is proposed might be the
means of giving them a clue as to
their future action; bnt they know
now just as much as to the wishes of
the people of Nevada as they could
know after dozen public meetings
were held.
We are in favor Of doing everything
that can be done in the interests of
free coinage, and would gladly see
Ell1o county fully represented at the
coming Convention; the. only ques-
ton is, who will go as deiegates?

\ Popular Suggestion.

Ex-State Senator John w. Powell
thinks the Times Review hit the nail
on the head, in its suggestion that tie
Republican and Democratic County
Committees jointly appoint the dele
gates to tho Silver Convention. He
says it would be the most convincing
proof of the unity of tho people of
Nevada that could be manifested, and
would be uumistakable evidence Of
their Willingness to drop politics for
the nonce and pull together for the
accomplishment of tho desired re-
suit. Such is the opinion of all who
have expressed themselves upon the
subject here, and wo are confident
that tho suggestion will meet with
favor all over the State Times
Review.
We think tho suggestion good
one, and can SEQ no good reason why
it should not be adopted.

THE TRUE WIFE,
Her Mission Is Much NobIer Than Tn,
of a Mere HOusekeeper.

Her Mission Is Much NObler Than That
of a Mere HOusekeeper.
1t is not to sweep the house, make the
beds, darn the socks and cook the meals
chiefly that man wants wife. If this
is all he needs, servant can do it
cheaper than wife. If this is all. when
a young man calls to see a lady. send
him into the pantry to taste the bread
and cake she has made; send him to in
spect the needle-wOrk and bed-making:
or put broom in her hand and send
him to witness its use. Such things are
important, and the wise young man
will quickly look after them But what
the true young man wants with a wife
is her companionship, sympathy and
love. The way of life has many dreary
places in it, and man needs a wife to
go with him. A man is sometimes over
taken by misfortunes; he meets with
failures and defeat; trials and tempta-
tons beset him, and he needs one to
stand by and sympathiZe. He has some
hard battles to fight with poverty, enc
mics and sin, and he needs a woman
that when he puts his arm around her,
he feels he has something to fight for:
she will help him to fight; she will put
her lips to his ear and whisper words of
counsel, and her hand to his heart and
impart inspiration. All through life.
through storm and through sunshine,
conflict and victory, through adverse
and through favOring winds, man needs
a wOman's lOve.-Lady.

John Gardner, M. D., is London Phy-
stefan who makes a specially of the treat
ment of diseases of elderly persons. In a
recent book upon this subject, DIR. Gard
ner says:
"A healthy and vigorous state of every
part and every organ is essential to the
health and well being of the whole system
TO grow old gracefully is not the COM
mon lot Of all. With advancing years
come increased infrmities they are by no
means inevitable, and their presence is due
to the failure to keep up to their work the
various organs of the body. The study of
the body by scientists furnishes unor1es-
tionable evidence that the duration of
human life may be prolonged to hundred
years."
Why, then, do so few live to that age:
and why after middle life-and often be-
fore-is there SO much suffering from ner-
vousness, rheumatism, feebleness. lack of
appetite, sleeplessness, and debility? Be-
cause long life or overwork has weakened
the nervous system. Rev. T. Williston.
the famous author of "Christ's Millenial
Reign" when eighty four years old, suf-
tered with indigestion and rheumatic af-
fectlons. His attention was called FORUM
ately to Paine's Celery Compound. A free
use of that great medicine for the nerves
cured him, and made great Improvement
in his general health.
This grand discovery is an unequaled
medicine for the aged. 1t produces life
and energy and is a marvellous preserver
of the fire and vigor of youth. There is
nothing like it forstrengthening the nerves.
and curing the diseases to which old folks
are specially subject. 1t is truly called in
valuable by those who have made a special
study of diseases of elderly people.

Editor Daily Oreyonion: For many
years l have teen great sufferer from va
rious affilctions to which women are sub
ject, to-wit: Womb, kidney, stom ach and
head troubles, with such severity at times
as to become nearly insane, and prayed
that death would come snd relieve me If
my sufftrings, as l saw all former physi-
clans and remedies prescribed afforded me
no relief and despaired of ever getting
well. In this condition was induced to
call on Drs. Darrin. They gave me tn
co1ragen ent, and put myself under their
treatment. Now, after few months
treatment feel like one snatched from
the jaws of death; their treatment has
brought sunshine and brightness to my
mind, healthy action to my liver, strength
and vitality to my stomach, and perfectly

gone. gladly give my name to the pub

SYMPATHY WITH CHILDREN.

Mothers Should Be Cautious of Shaking
Sweet Condolences.
One of the prettiest sights in the
world is flock of bright, eager children
gathered about a gentle, sympathetic
woman, who has forgotten her cares and
important duties TO enter into the pas
times of youth. What divine gift is
sympathy! Every day dawns upon some
interesting and unfamiliar scene, and
speculations crowd their little brains,
and questions rush to their lips without
order or generalization. What makes
their gObletS of water at?'-why do
people have to wear clothes?-why can't
babies talk?-what are worms good for?
These are some of the queries tn; assail
the first grown person they can get to
listen. Frequently they are hastily
silenced by elders who have no time to
give them; more often they are turned
away because the person addressed does
not know how to answer them. Mothers,
whom thousand frittering cares have
made fOrgetful of school lore, are called
upon to describe the habits of ants, and
to explain the principle of lightning
rods; they are called away from sewing
and cake-making to look at some object
which has excited lively curiosity in
little mind, and in the hurry of the mo-
ment they rarely give the matter a seri
Gus thought.
Sometimes they are inclined to say,
petulantly: Don't DO Their me-go to
your father-go to your teacher; don't
know any thing about it." This is a
mistake. To the child h is mother is all
wise, and she should be Ca utious of shak-
ing that sweet confidence. Of course,
one has to discriminate between impOr-
tunate chatter and honest curiosity.
But plea for an interested hearing of
the child's ideas or feelings should not
be disregarded, whatever else remains
unfinished. One can not estimate the
effect of cold rebuff upon sensitive
child. The world, moment before
growing with beauty and alive with
agreeable suggestions, grows suddenly
dark and still, faith dies, and every
thing seems against him. A little sym
pathy cheers the present moment and is
remembered with gratitude long after
the scheme enthusiastically unfolded by
the Oh Id has become absurd to his ripper
years.-HOme Maker.
