c. A. MEL SON KILLED.
Knocked OFF a Train by Snow-Shed
and Horribly Mangled.

Charles A. Nelson, who, with his
brother Thomas, was engaged in the
sheep business at Stone House in this
county, was instantly killed in the
snow-sheds near Truckee Saturday
night.
The Journal says Mr.. Nelson ar
rived at Reno Friday night with
eleven carloads of fat sheep destined
for the San Francisco market. He
was accompanied by P. Y. Sanders
and w. S. Spencer, the latter rela-
tive. They unloaded the sheep
to feed, and Saturday left with them
for the west. When near Truckee
Nelson and Sanders were walking on
top of the train which contained their
stock and were struck and knocked
from the train when it entered the
snow shed. Nelson was knocked be-
tween the last car and caboose and
killed. Both legs were mangled and
his head was cut in four or five places.
He evidently fell across the track,
the brakebeam of the caboose cutting
his head and face causing injuries
which resulted in death. Sanders is
suffering from an injury on the base
of the skull which will probably prove
fatal. At present he is conscious and
talks freely. He was knocked off the
train, but was only hit in the head
by the shed and not by the train.
Mr.. Nelson was one of Humboldt S
best citizens and the news of his un-
timely and tragic death was shock
to his many friends here. He was
married and had two children.

Woman's Love.

Robt. G. Ingersoll pays the follow
ing tribute to woman's love.
The one thing in this world that is
constant, the one peak that rises
above all clouds, the one window in
which light forever burns, the one
star that darkness cannot quench,
is woman's love. 1t arises to the
greatest heights,it sinks to the lowest
depths, it forgives the most cruel
injuries. 1t is perennial of life, and
grows in every cline neither GOODNESS
nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty can
extinguish it. A woman's love is the
perfume of the heart. This is the
real love that subdues the earth the
love that has wrought all miracles in
art, that gives us music all the way
from the cradle song to the grand
symphony that bears the soul away
on wings of fire. A love that is greater
than power, sweeter than life, and
stronger than death.

Nicotine Poisoning.

AS David Giroux of the Winnie
mucca Hotel was about to retire Sat-
urday night he heard noise in the
adjoining room as of some one in dis
tress. He went into the room where
he found his son Eddie, who had
gone to bed some time before, in con-
vulsions and frothing at the mouth.
DIR. Herdan was Immediately called
and when he arrived the boys pulse
was almost imperceptible. After
working with him four hours he was
brought out OF the fit, which the
doctor says was caused by NICOTINE
poisoning from excessive cigarette
smoking.
This should prove a warning to the
boys of this town, nearly all OF whom
are inveterate cigarette fiends.

STARVING STOCK.
Thousande of Cattle Said to be Perishing
in Southern Idaho.

Thousande of Cattle Said to be Perishing
in Southern Idaho.
A dispatch from Boise City says
that thousands of cattle are slowly
starving to death in the hills ofsouth-
ern Idaho. The loss to stock-raisers
will be tremendous. Every blade of
grass on the ranges is under from
twenty-five to sixty inches of snow.
The present winter has not been
equaled in severity since 1870. A
rigorous season was not anticipated
by ranchers and they delayed bring
ing cattle into the lowlands. The
delay has proven fatal, and we'll
known stockman said that every do
nestle animal left on the hills was
sure to meet death either from cold
or hunger. Nearly every rancher
will lose more or less heavily, though
many of them had the good for
tune to drive portions of their
cattle into the valleys before the
great snow-storm came.

Some Simply Remedies.

To CURE PEssIMIsM.- Believe every
man as big knave as yourself and
the world won't look so bad after
all.
To CURE UNPoPULARITY. - Spend
every cent you make on your friends
and borrow more from your father.
Never give advice, and listen to every
FOOLS prating.
To CURE MELANoHoLIA.-G to see
an amatuer theatrical company in
terpret tragedy. One dose is suffi-
cient. Too much of this medicine
will have counter effect and will in
duce suicide.
To CURE A CoLD.-Take four parts
of the advice of one person, with
three parts of the advice of fifty
others; mix well and swallow at
every hour in the day. Make it con-
venient to die ON Thursday so you
can be buried before washday.-Puck.

Gone to San Francisco.

IN. Levy and wife left Saturday
afternoon for San Francisco, where
they will reside in the future. lsidore
was for years connected with the
house of n. Levy & Co., until the dis
astrous fire of last summer, since
which time he has been settling
up the firms business. Courteous
and obliging always, he made friends
OF everyone with whom he was
brought in contact through business
or social relations. BY his departure
Winnemucca has lost another of its
best and most philosophical citizens.
We understand that Isidore intends
to go into business for himself in San
Francisco. The best luck we can
wish him is that he will be as sue
cessful as he deserves.

of about 1000 inhabitants. Still it
SHOWS and the fakes fall at every
angle, as they do in Winnie
mucca. At A. NJ. we located our
selves comfortably in Seattle car
and proceed northward. Large fields
fenced in the ancient style greeted us
on every side and the surroundings
seemed to improve materially. At
8 A. NJ. Easton hove in sight-a little
place of much neglect. Old Sol poked
his head out from behind the clouds
and looked as jolly as new born
pup. His penetrating gaze made all
nature smile. The shaggy cattle
shook themselves and looked well
pleased with the change Even the
worm fences Strengthened out little
and put themselves in a more COM
Portable position for general warm
ing up. The showing process has at
last let up and gone to breakfast. At
9:15 A. NJ. Walla Walla was inter
viewed. She is beautiful city of 1000
souls, and grandly located in a fertile
valley of the same name, but like all
other towns on the route, completely
overrun with laborers of all kinds. A
big purple dog with yellow COM
plexion flew out in front of the engine
when the train pulled out, but failed
to head us off and soon turned back
much dissatisfied and chagrined on
account of his shortcomings. Changed
cars at Colfax at 3 p. NJ. for Moscow.
Colfax is beauty, located in long
canyon. Arrived at our destination at
5 P. NJ. Sunday evening, all safe and
sound. Went to the McGregor Hotel
and at P. NJ. sleigh presented itself,
and mile ride in the same brought
us to the home of Bennett Summer
field, where we received a glad well
come.
Moscow is thriving city of five or
six thousand inhabitants located in a
populous and fertile farming COM
munity with every faculty to make it
the leading city of Idaho.

STATE created quite a favorably i'm
preston in Golconda, as it should
throughout the State, showing as it
does the immense resources of Hum

Meadows in particular. And when
we add to the latter's grain record
the great number of horses, cattle,
sheep, etc., shipped to the markets OF
San Francisco and other cities, also
carload after carload of wool and
mining products, we make showing
of which we may well be proud.

st. Johns HOSPITAL.

For the past two months the capacity
of ST. Johns Hospital, of this city, has
been taxed to its utmost, than at any
time for the same period during its ex
istence, and the attendants are literally
worked down. The hospital is now full,
and two new patients were ad mitted yes
terday. The needs aud pecuniary re
quirements of the institution are now
greater than they have ever yet at any
time been, and over two weeks ago its
worthy and efficient treasurer, Mr.. A. P.
Bryan, was notified that his account IN
bank was overdrawn.
1t is inappropriate at this moment to
enter into details to demonstrate the good
and charitable aid this benevolent instl-
tuition has extended to the sick and
wounded. 1t would be only to relate and
repeat what is generally known through
out the length and bredth of this city.
1t is pleasant and comforting to be remind
/ ed that this community so abundant IL
extending kind and merciful charity tc
the suffering poor in its midst, has never
been appealed to in vain when this be
nevolent home for the sick and suffering
has been in pecuniary peril, and has
upon simple notification, given freely o
it's means and sympathy.
On Monday night, July 11th, arrange
ments have been effected to have tn
Black Diamond Quartette to give con
cert at Metropolitan hail to raise fund
to meet the Immediate and pressing de
mands of this institution Those engag
ed in getting this concert up are to b
commended to the fullest extent for thi
worthy action. Let the whole city tur
out on tomorrow night. In addition t
relieving the wants of the hospital, an
pushing its onward good work, the COZ
cert will itself be fine and enjoyable
