medicine for this disease. Some OF these

scrofula, be sure to try Hoods sarsapariEa.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was22months
old till she became six years OF age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one OF them after
growing to the size Of pigeons egg, became

Registered Voters.

The number of registered voters
in Dayton precinct this year is
larger than it has been for the past
sixteen years, there being 236
names on the list. Mason Valley
shows more of an increase over two
years ago than does Dayton, and
has 242 registered voters this year.
Silver City has 1875 on the list;
Smith Valley Sc; Mound House 43;
Sutro 43; Wabuska 81; Churchill
II. This makes total of 1893
registered voters in the county, or
a gain of nearly 100 over two years
ago. Allowing for double registra-
ton, ETC., Lyon will have about 7S0
voters this year. This is a pretty
good showing.

Who Is ltf

The Carson appeal of the Oath
inst. says the murderer of Hold
Raymond has not yet been discov-
cred, but prints a half column of
matter wherein it is intimated that
several parties know who did the
killing and that a certain man in
the Valley is suspected. 1t is now
said that Raymond received 5000
for some cattle he sold a few days
before he was killed. The Appeaps
informant mentions no names.
Now if anybody thinks he knows
who killed Raymond, he can get
$500 by proving who did the dirty
work and he ought not to make any
sneaking underhanded charges.
Why not give us the name of this
man who it is intimated is a red
handed murderer or else stop talk
ing about him.

Death OF william Elliott.

Word was received here a few
days ago of the death of Billy
Elliott, formerly of Silver City, al

cepted a position as chief engineer
at one of the English Company's
mines in Mexico. A few weeks ago
he was stricken with fever and start
ed for home. He got as far as No

Cassidy Talks.

Geo. w. Cassidy, Democratic
nominee for Congressman, spoke at
the Court House last Thursday
evening to a large congregation of
the voters of this section of the
country. He dwelt at length upon
the silver question and said that the
law made at the last session of Con-
gross was not in the least beneficial
to silver producing States, notwith-
standing the price of silver had adj
vanced from SO to 1O8 since it's
agitation and passage. Mr.. Cassidy
pledged himself to vote for no meas
ure short of free coinage if he was
elected, and stated that when he was
in Congress he was one of the 400,
or rather one of the 1875 who he
claims make all the laws of the land.
His talk upon the irrigation and
reclamation subject was good and
met with the approval of all pres
ent, but then, any person sent to
Congress would try and do these
things, and Bartine has proved
somewhat a rustler himself, and it
was evident that the audience
thought he could and would do quite
as we'll as Mr.. Cassidy if elected
again.
Mr.. Sadler, Democratic nominee
for Lieutenant Governor accompa-
MED Mr. Cassidy.
After the meeting three cheers
were given for Cassidy and the DEM
ocratic ticket, and when the crowd
reached the street the band played
few pieces, and Cassidy is just as
far away from being elected by Ly-
on county votes as he ever was.

shaken Out OF Gear,

BY malarial disease, the human machinery
cannot half perform its Office. Digestion,
secretion. evacuation are disordered, the
blood becomes watery, the nerves feeble,
the countenance CHASTITY, sleep disturbed and
appetite capricious. Terrible is this disease,
fell its consequences. There is, however, a
known antidote to the miasmic poison, and
a certain safeguard against it. In malarious
regions Of our South and West, in South
America. Guatemala and on the Isthmus oil
Panama, as well as in transmarine countries
where the scourge exists, this inimitable pre-
ventive and remedy, Hostet.er's Stomach
Ri,ers, has, during the last thirty-6ve years,
been constantly widening the area Of its use

ue. Liver complaint, dyspepsia, constipa.
lion, kidney trouble, rheumatism and debili-
ty are all remeded by it.

Nevada Grapes.

Four barrels of wine were pro-
duced this season from grapes rails
ed on the Raffetto ranch near Car
son City, and the vines were only
three years old. J. NJ. Tailleur, on
his small ranch just above Dayton
has a vineyard in which he raises
the finest Isabella and Catawba
grapes that were ever raised any
where. The idea that Nevada can
not produce grapes is a mistaken
one, and it may transpire that the
fruit can be raised at profit to
vineyardists.

LINCOLN's MELANCHOLY.
HIS Sympathetic Nature and his Ear.
~ Misfortunes.

Those who saw much of Abraham Lincoln
during the later years of his life, were great
~ impressed with the expression Of profound
melancholy his face always wore in repose.
Mr.. Lincoln was of peculiarly sympa-
thetic and kindly nature. These strong
characteristics influenced, very happily, as it
proved, his entire political career. They
would not seem, at first glance. to be efficient
aids to political success; but in the peculiar
emergency which Lincoln, in the providence
of God, was called to meet, no vessel OF
common clay could possibly have become
the "chosen Of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from boyhood
knew that early griefs tinged his whole life
with sadness. His partner in the grocery
business at Salem, was "Uncle" Billy Green,
OF Tallula. H., who used at night, when
when the customers were few, to hold the
grammar while Lincoln recited his lessons.
1t was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln told
the story Of his love for sweet Ann Rutledge;
and he, in return, offered what comfort he
could when poor Ann died, and Lincoln's
great heart nearly broke.
"After Ann died." says "Uncle" Billy.
ton stormy nights, when the wind blew the
rain against the roof, Abe would set thar in
the grocery, his elbows on his knees. his
face in his hands, and the tears runnin'
through his fingers. 4 hated to see him feel
bad, an I'd say, ABE don't cry; an he'd
look up an say, Il can't help it, Bill, the
rains fallin' on her,"
There are many who can sympathize with
this overpowering grief, as they think Of
lost loved one, when "the rains failin' on
her," What adds poignancy to the grief
some times is the thought that the lost one
might have been saved.
Fortunate, indeed, is William Johnson, Of
Corona, L. l., builder, who writes June zS,
1890: "Last February, on returning from
church one night, my daughter complained
Of having a pain in her ankle. The pain
gradually extended until her entire limb was
swollen and very painful TO the touch. We
called physician, who after careful exami-
nation, pronounced it disease Of the kidneys
Of long standing All we could do, did not
seem to benefit her until we tried Warmers

improve. When she commenced taking it
she could not turn over in bed, and could just
move her hands little, but to-day she is as
we'll as she ever was. believe l owe the
