Why, what do you think, last

my ice allowance. If they don't give

Here he hailed an ice cream man,
and after treating himself and the
writer, told the man to put the bill
into the management, and if they
kicked he would o. X. it.
Then he gave the children each a
tallow candle to suck, and went on
as follows:
II tell you what; it is mighty hard
work here keeping cool. Our ice
supply gave out yesterday, and had
to send the children out to rustic
some. They finally came back with
a few pounds they had snaked off a
corpse at the morgue." Here he
stopped to sprinkle some salt on the
cake of ice, which he was using for a
stool, and then his wife called him to
break up some ice for supper. and L
left him.
Walter Cook, one of the Carson
ranchers, arrived kore the other day
and is putting in his time getting awe
struck. He seems to be awe struck
most of the time. The agricultural
department appears to interest him
most.
E. Aube, Ormsby's County Clerk,
accompanied by his wife, is also here
enjoying the Fair. Aube got into
the Midway Plaisance the other
day by accident, and stayed in there
nearly two hours. He explains that
he was telling Cook what he saw
when he happened to glance in the
direction of the dancing girls, but
Cook refused to believe it until Aube
took him around and showed him
the place, and then they both stood
there pinching themselves to see if it
wasn't all dream. After they dis
covered it, at the end of an hour or
so, to be reality, they hastily took
there departure, but will go again
tomorrow to make doubly sure, and
purchase couple of pictures.
Rev. J. w. Hyslop passed through |
Chicago the other day, on his way !
East, where he will join his wife.
They will visit the Fair on the re-
turn trip.
Nevada has every reason to be
proud of the splendid work done bv
her representatives here in the recent
Congress. The gold bugs
haven't one among them who is any
match for any of the Silver States
champions.
Recently the Fair visitors were
treated to the exhibition of 4 torture
dance, the genuineness of which was
by two or three of the
performers falling senseless in pools
IF their own gore. 1t consisted of
half dozen Indians allowing them
selves to be drawn about the arena,
