An Abandoned City.

"A poet could write on The Deserted
Village with Virginia City as a sub
ject and surpass Goldsmith's immortal
production on the same topic" said T..
l.. Hearne, of San Francisco. 1.-The
first time that / was ever there the
population Of Virginia City was greater
than that of the entire State now.
Everything ran wide open. Magnifi-
cent hotels and opera halls, palatial
residences, stores that would have done
credit to New York, millionaires who
spent money freely, maintaining So
ciety that for brilliancy and gayety
could not be equaled in the United
States. was there a short time ago.
The hotels and opera houses are
closed, the residences empty, the stores
removed to other and more prosperous
places. Dwellings that cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars are given over
to the bats, and the broken panes of
glass, the shutters banging upon a
single hinge and tapping in the wind,
give a grewsome sense of loneliness.
In years to come it will afford magnifi-
cent spectacles of ruins, and even now
in some sections of the town there is a
sense to the beholder of being in city
of the past. Millions were made and
lost, and the history of Virginia City
would be one of the most thrilling
stories ever written. "-Globe-Demo-

An Oversight.

There was one oversight at the Great

alive vital statistics of our own general
health as compared with other nations,
and of our scientific facilities for the relief
of human suffering. Then 1t would have
appeared how much we are misrepresented
and how. even In all those minor Ills which
beset mankind. we are masters of cure and
alienation In the line OF general all
ments which all nations have In common.

there is no prompt and permanent cure In
the world the equal OF what we could have

this purpose, would have taken any pre-

has done so at many OF tho great fairs Of
the world. AS for the ordinary casualties
OF every day, busy life, such as sprains,

Brace the Nerves.

Sedatives and opiates won't do it. These nerv-
ines do not make the nerves strong, and failing
to do this fall short of producing the essential
of their quietude-vigor. And while in extreme
cases-and these only-of nervous irritation
such drugs may be advisable, their frequent use
is highly prejudicial to the delicate organism
upon which they act and in order to renew their
quieting effect increased and dangerous doses
eventually become necessary. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is an efficient substitute for
such pernicious drugs. 1t quiets the nerves by
bracing, toning, strengthening them. The con-
nection between weakness of the nervous sys-
tenn and that of the organs of digestion is a
strong and sympathetic link. The Bitters, by
imparting healthful impulse to the digestive
and assimilating functions promotes through
out the whole system vigor in which the
nerves come in for large share. Use the Bit
tiers In malaria, constipation, bilious and kid
ney trouble.
