The plant belongs to the lily fami-

in their distribution and range from
the southern to the northern limits
of the country and westward to the
Pacific. The particular species I'M

more limited distribution, being con-
fined to parts of Nevada, California
and Utah. This plant is most com.

times occurs on the wild lands in the
vicinity of the hills. Both the hard
and rocky and the sandy soils seem
favorable to the plants existence.

more inches below the surface of the
ground, Below the bulb is a black

way to cure Deafness, and that Is by eonstltu

InrnIy Boys,

A number of boys, large and
small, are in the habit daily, of
climbing upon the cars of passing
trains, while in motion. These boys
simply laugh at Mr. Coffin, tn ,
agent here, when he orders them to
keep away. One or more of them
will probably be run over and killed
some of these days, and then the pa
rents of the others may think it
time to keep them at home.

Nevada at the worlds Fair.

From private letters sent by Jas,
A. Yerington, Nevada's World Fair
Commissioner at Chicago, it would
appear that our State is making a
very creditable showing at the
Great Exhibition, Notwithstanding
the small appropriation made for
that purpose by the Legislature.
Mr.. Yerington has shown by his
energy and backbone to be the
right man in the proper place. He
fatty refused to be robbed by the
Chicago bandits and by his tact
and persistency obtained space for
Nevada's exhibits, from a part OF
that allotted to Idaho. The Board
of Control paid Mr.. Yerington quite
a compliment in the interest he has
taken toward making creditable
display, stating that Nevada would
in many ways be ahead of States
having large sums at their com
mand and two years to work In

Mlsfortunes never come slngly.
After the Kansas horse sale and
the destruction of his vineyard by
a malicious prohibitionst Chas. Sny-
der finally believed that he would
be freed from further misfortunes
for time. But it was not to be.
In order to "fll long felt want, .
Charley erected a. smokehouse on
his beautiful farm in Mason Valley
that was not only an ornament to
his ranch, but to the country sur
rounding as well. This building
was constructed under Charley's
immediate supervisor, of lumber
without knot or warp, and was
simply the pride Of his friends and
neighbors. That smokehouse is
not the subject of especial admira-
ton by any one at the present time.
A pair of Yellowhammers, having
selected cottonwood tree near the
smokehouse, as proper place, pro-
ceeded to excavate a space sufficient
for a residence therein and prepare
for the summer campaign. Char
ley having completed his smoke
house, was at this time busily
engaged in cutting the tops off the
cotton wood trees, for wood for the
coming Winter. Among those cut
down was the one containing the
nest of the yellowhammers. On
the morning following this unfortu
nate event, Charley's dreams were
rudely disturbed by sounds proceed
ing from the smoke-house, as if some
half dozen persons were engaged in
driving nails. Hurriedly pulling
on his pants, he rushed out and was
nearly paralyzed to find six yellow
hammers drilling holes with their
bills through tho soft rustic, into
his beloved smoke-house. In order
to protect his property, Snyder was
compelled to turn his attention from
the gophers, get supply of ammu-
milton md go after the yellowham-
mars. The war was still on at last
reports. Charley has no time now
for outside affairs, he is kept busy
killing the vindictive birds and saw
ing small limbs of the trees to plug
up the holes they make. 1t is said
that, that smoke-house would doubt
less take the prize, if taken to the
Worlds Fair, as the greatest curios-
itv there
