By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which. by
the remarkable cures 1t has accomplished.
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some OF these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was q months
old till she became six years Of age. Jumps
formed in her neck, and one Of them after
growing to the size of pigeons egg, became
running sore for over three years. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and

appeared, and now she seems to be healthy

THERE are some queer arguments

THERE are some queer arguments
made by the people of this State
and by some of the newspapers, te
the effect that Nevada will never
amount to anything agriculturally
until other business propositions are
built up to furnish a market for the
produce that is raised. The truth
of the matter is that the greatest
portions of the agricultural parts
of the State are settled by farmers
~ who have been satisfied to raise
a crop or two of alfalfa and trust to
luck to have some cattle or sheep
man come to them and buy at a
price that will barely pay them for
raising the crop. There is not
enough produce raised in the State
to supply one-half the market that
we now have at home. These are
facts that cannot be truthfully de-
MED. Then let our people think of
how much of market any of the
frontier States have had until they
became pretty well settled. Neva-
da, of course has not the advantage
of railroads which lead to outside
markets, nor will she have such ad-
vantages until people in the State
show that they can raise enough
different things to make it an object
for railroad to come here and help
find a market for them. We be-
leive the people are awakening to
the situation, for every year more
land is being put into grain, hops,
fruit, potatoes, etc. If you cannot
find a market for one kind of pro-
duce raise something else the next
time. If the people in Mason VAL
ley would cultivate about half the
land they are now raising alfalfa on,
and make it into farms instead of
ranches, they would be a great deal
better off. Small farms are what
make a country prosperous, and
there is room for many of them in
Nevada right to-day.

A PECULIAR drawback has been
encountered in the combination
harvesters and threshers that have
been in use for some years in the
grain fields in California. These
com bination harvester, it will be
understood, are large machines that
are put into a field of ripe grain
and when they come out the crop
is harvested, the machine cutting
threshing and sacking the grain
and doing up the straw in bundles,
leaving the foul on the field. The
Woodland Democrat says that farm
ers in that section are becoming
greatly prejudiced against the ma
chine. They complain that their
fields, which were formerly free of
all foul vegetation, since the intro
duction of the harvester, are becom-
ing so foul as to create alarm, and
some of them go so far as to pre-
dict that within five years there
will not be one of the new mach
ines in use in Yolo county.

THE erudite Mr.. Schoenhof, who
was sent abroad as Consul under
the Cleveland administration, in the
interest of the Democracy and the
foreign manufacturers, and whose
highly imaginative statistics fur
nished so much amusement to the
Republican press, is again serving
his employers by writing Free-Trade
letters to such newspapers as will
receive them. The Boston Herald
publishes one of this individuals
productions, in which he refers to
the "overburdened and overtaxed"
American people. Tut, tut, Schoen-
hof, you can't make Yankees swal-
low any such egregious nonsense as
this. For Mr.. Edward Atkinson
has declared, although our city
taxes are excessive, we are as people
the Lowest ta1ed Of all that are called
civilized" And Mr.. Atkinson be-
sides being a statistician and an
economist of note, is one of the
leading Tariff reformers" of Mas
sachusetts. His word carries more
weight in this neighborhood than
that of thousand Schoenhofs. We
will back Atkinson against Schoen-
hof any day.-Boston Journal.

THE irrigation of arid lands is a
question that is being thoroughly
looked into at the present time.
Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico
are being invaded by capitalists
who are building immense storage
reservoirs and irrigation canals.
The last place to attracted atten-
ton is the arid county of Kittitas,
in Washington, throughout which
only bunchgrass and sagebrush now
grows. Notwithstanding there are
millions of acres of fine agricultu-
raj land in Washington outside of
this desert county, capitalists think
of investing several hundred thous-
and dollars to reclaim the land. 1t
seems strange, at the first thought,
why more interest has not been
taken in Nevada by capitalists, but
the jonah" of taxation is what
keeps money away from the State,
If we were to tell the actual facts
about the size of some crops raised
on lands in some of Nevada's val
lies people outside would laugh at
us and their hghtest censure would
be to say we prevaricated. When
the other States become more thick
ly populated and land becomes
scarcer, then, perhaps, capital will
take a hand at the agricultural
business in this State. Men of
means who now have large posses
sions here seem to prefer the dog
in the manger" policy to that of
giving other people show for their
money. But when Nevada does
get under Roadway once as an agri-
cultural State-and that will be
when thorough system of irriga-
ton is inaugurated and the equali-
zation of property fxed-there will
be no back talk from any body
about the ability of our State to
take care of herself.

A WOMAN brought on the Trojan

therefore, if Queen Natalie kindles

KILLING THE IMPROVEMENTS.

Until Money Il Raised.

Anegheny's Streets Can't Be Improved
Until Money IL Raised.
The feeling of the Allegheny Committee
on Public Works last night was that as the
people had voted against increasing the
debt many proposed improvements must
be left out. The members voted for sewers
on High street and Superior avenue, and
for grading Falkner and Hogan streets
The proposal for the paving of
Beaver avenue died. and numerous
board walks on the hill districts were held
over for the Chief to consider. Reserve
township wanted city water and the request
was laid over. The Market Clerk was given
permission to rent portion OF the sidewalk
for holiday displays. 1t was also decided to
have four boilers instead of two for the
Howard street pumping station. A smoke
consumer ordinance was also afirmatively
recommended to Councils.
Then came resolution to tear down the
light towers, bat Mr.. Rudolph wanted them
to stand as monuments to those who put
them there, and the resolution was placed
on the table.

Very Lively Hustling for the Positions in
Common Pleas No. 3.
There is pretty warm contest going on
for the two stenographers' places in the new
Court of Common Pleas No. g. Although
the court began its official sittings for the
term yesterday, the stenographers have not
yet been appointed. Judges Kennedy, Nc
Chung and Porter. who have this piece of
patronage, would be glad if they could ap-
point all the candidates, who with petitions
and Endorsements and recommendations
have been overwhelming the whole bench
for weeks past The principal candidates
in sight are: Luther Mendenhall, Edward
J. Donnelly, James Mathews, Marshall N
Reno, Mrs Lucy Dorsey Iams and Law
renee L. Minor. There may be some others
but at least these six are still in the hunt
for the two places. It is not known who
will be appointed, although political pull
is rather expected to operate in favor of two
of the candidates in the above list. One of
the judges who is desirious as are his
brethren of course, of getting the best men
to take down the court proceedings in gen.
eral and the judges jury charges in particu-
lar, is SO in doubt as to whom to choose that
test among them to decide their
comparative skill. The contest will be in
the nature of competitive examination
The candidates will be asked to take down
in shorthand the trial of case in court,
and the two best reports will entitle their
makers to the offices. By this means only
technical skill and reliability would count,
and both the court and the public would be
given the maximum of protection. The ap-
pointment of the stenographers is at pres
ent expected to be made on Saturday next,
but if the plan Of a competitive test is car
ried out the announcement of the names is
likely to be delayed.

Destroys Two Thousand Dollars Worth Of
Property.
About O'Clock last evening fire broke
out in the building at Penn and Federal
streets, Allegheny. The building fronts
about 60 feet on Federal street and runs
back to West Penn alley. 1t is occupied
by D. G. Jones' saloon, No. "a Federal
street; E. E. Heck's drug store, No. Y, and
j. F. and C. K. Heideger's restaurant, No.
20. The fire originated in the
attic over the drug store and was
discovered shortly after it started. An
alarm was sent in from station 50. and was
followed shortly after by two others. The
fire spread rapidly from the attic of the
drugstore to the attics of the saloon and
restaurant.
1t was quickly put out and the damage
done was chiefly from the water that
soaked through to the lower stories. The
entire loss was not over g, 1000, fully coy-
cred by insurance.

A Local Preacher Being Tried by Church
Authorities at Uniontown.
UNIoNTowN, Nov 12.-[SpeciaI IAN
interesting Methods: Episcopal Church
trial began here tonight. DR.. 7. f. Farmer,
a local preacher of this place, is being tried
by three of his peers for immortality. The
trial is being conducted by three local min
listers, DR.. H. B. Mathiot, of Smithfeld;
Squire Cotton, of Dunbar, and Mr.. Law,
of Dawson, and is presided over by Rev. T.
II. Woodring, Presiding Elder Of this dis
trict. He has been married four times; and
owing to the fact that he had hardly waited
until one wife's remains were cold until he
married again, his actions have been closely
watched. Last February his third wife
died, and in June he married her sister, o
Miss McIlree.
Two weeks ago q child was born in the
household. and consequently a charge of
immortality was entered against the doctor
and the trial tonight is the result. Last
week Mrs Farmer published a card to the
effect that DR.. Farmer was not the father,
and that the charges Of immortality against
him are groundless. It is charged that the
doctor forced her to make this confession.
DR.. Farmer appeared at the trial tonight.
r. A. Kennedy appeared as counsel for DR..
Farmer, but, as he is not q member of the
church, he was not allowed to serve. Dr.
Farmer asked for q continuance until he
could procure suitable counsel, but it was
not granted. II. +. Detwiler was then Sc
cured and the trial went on. The trial is
being conducted secretly.

EVIDENCE OF A MURDER.
The Dead Body of = Contractor Of smeth-

The Dead Body of Contractor of smeth-
port Found in a Lonely Forest.
BRADFORD. Nov. ia mysterious
tragedy was brought to light here this morn
ing by the finding of the body of an un-
known man in lonely spot in the woods
by Robert Bishop, an oil producer, who was
going to look after his wells on Mt. Rob.
The left side of the neck was cut open. A
knife had evidently been driven into the
neck dozen times andthen twisted around
in the wound. There were also few
scratches on the right side of the neck. The
body was without coat, vest or suspenders.
The trousers had been pulled up toward the
knees and the shirt drawn from them, show
ing that the body had been dragged by the
feet: Pools of blood were found nearby.
and the coat, vest, hat and suspenders not
far away. On every side were evidences of
aterrifc struggle, in which more than two
men had probably been engaged.
No one recognized the victim until this
evening. The body was identified as that
of Andrew Reilly, Jr., of Smethport, by a
brother of the murdered man. Young
Reilly was a well-to-do contractor and
builder, and was known to always have
considerable money about his person with
which to pay his men. When found there
was nothing on his person but some small
change,
