commanding position, which has occasionally
made it bright and shining mark for knaves,

medicinal efficacy. Beware of them and get the

Nail Biting.

Nail biting, according to a French
doctor, is hereditary. Almost one
third of the French school children
bite nails, and the girls are worse
than the boys.-Er
1t probably does not make much
difference what kind OF nails are
bitten-a cut orwire nail-from the
above, or shingle nail or spike.
We have seen people ourselves who
thought they could bite 20-penny

state Fair.

The State Fair held in Reno was
we'll attended, the weather being the
fairest for the occasion that the
management has had for several
years past. The display at the pa
vilion was not above the average,
the races were fair, some of them,
but too much jobbing was apparent
to let anyone lose or win much
money on any of them. The main
feature and attraction at the pa
vilion, and track also, was the music
furnished by the Kanaka band, OF
San Francisco. Financially the
Fair will probably prove success,
as it was gotten up at the least ex-
pense possible There was a very
meagre showing of live stock.

The pace 70 Winter.

The farmers of Mason Valley do
not feel very much encouraged over
the prospect Of selling their hay
this season. Hay is the principle
crop Of the valley, and unless there
is market for it farmers experience
hard times. We do not see why
every pound Of hay in the valley
should not be sold. There is no
better point in the State to feed
stock through the Winter. The
climate is not severe, there is but
little snow falls during the Winters
and the location is not far out of
the way to drive cattle for shipment.
Hay is always plenty in the valley,
and is sold at a reasonable figure.
Stockmen and sheepmen should
bear this in mind.

Death Of Tom Barton.


The sad news of the death of Tom
Barton reached here from Mason
Valley last Wednesday evening.
Tom had been i'll with stubborn
attack of typhoid malaria fever for
about a month, but even up to
few days before death it was believ-
ed that he would conquer the dis
ease, as he was young, strong and
healthy when taken down with the
attack. This, however, was not to
be, and the relentless hand of Death
called him home at about / O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon. Tom was a
native Of San Joaquin county, Cal,
and at the time of his death was in
his prime, being but 81 years of
age last June. He came to Mason
Valley about ten years ago to lacate
permanently, and has resided there
since. About five years ago he mar
ried one of Mason Valleys most ex-
cellent daughters-Miss Nevada
Parker, whom he leaves with one
child-Chester, two years of age
to mourn his untimely loss. He
also leaves relatives in California,
and brother in Pine Grove.
The funeral of deceased took place
Thursday under the auspices of the
A. P. A. Council of Yerington, of
which Council Tom was an active
member. The pail bearers were G.
f. Holland, Frank Bovard, G. H.
Gilstrap, Rob't. Dyer, John Conner
and Ernest Pierceall. The funeral
was largely attended and the floral
tributes were numerous and hand
some.
Tom Barton was man among
men. By nature he was kind and
charitable, and never did friend
want for anything, if he was needy,
when Tom Barton was able to assist
him. He was man whom his
friends loved and his enemies could
not help respect He was a dead
game sport at any game that could
be mentioned, and as honest in his
dealings as the day is long. He had
met with reverses during the past
two years, but, being born of stock
that knew how to meet them, he
looked the future squarely in the
face and feared not that his turn
would come again.
The grief stricken widow and
child have the heartfelt sympathy
of the community, and many
| friends outside of it. Let us all
wish that the clods may not rest too
heavily upon the casket which con-
tains the last of him who but few
short days ago was dutiful son,
loving husband and father and a
sincere friend.

The Inyo Independent published
at independence, close to where
Charlie Johnson was found in dy-
ing condition last week Monday,
prints the two letters purporting to
be left by johnson. One of the let
tiers is as follows:

Good BY
CHARLIE
The above is vcrbatun, and it will
be seen that the spelling IS such as
might be used by better educated
person IN trying to initiate the brok-
en- language of a Swede. We have
been shown letters received here
from Johnson, but there in no SINH
larity between them and the above.
These letters are of a private nature,
otherwise they would be published
to show how wide difference there
is in the language used. The Ian
guage in the letters received here IS
really good English, with hardly
word misspelled. As soon as John
sons friends here saw the letters
published in the INDEPENDENT they
pronounced them forgeries. Anoth-
er strange thing IS that Johnson
should beat himself to death with a
Ratchet while having a pistol and
razor close at hand. What Is still
stranger is that the physicians tes-
timony at the autopsy was to the eff
feet that either OF the three blows
on Johnson's head would have pro-
duced Inconsistencies, if not death.
Then how could he have committed
the deed? After rendering himself
unconscious with one blow how
could he have inflicted the other two
gashes on his head? 1t seems to us
that further investigation should
be made in this matter.

To Economic Time.

A statistician has computed that the
average business man spends 371a eight
hour days at luncheon, 223a at breakfast
and 451a at dinner every year. That is, he
spends ,one-third of his entire time at the
table. 1t is suggested that this time might
be economical by hiring some one to read
to him while he is eating. The business
man who spends his meal time thinking
and planning over his business probably
would find this profitable experiment,
not so much because of the Improvement
to the mind, but because of the distraction
and consequent rest that it would give.
The best way to occupy ones mind during
meals, however, is in pleasant, light con-
time so spent wasted. But speaking of
hired readers, a better plan can be followed
through the perfection of the photograph
This instrument will have reached its real
stage of general usefulness when person
can set it going during his meals or at any
other time when his eyes are occupied and
his mind at liberty, and have the latest
novel, the daily newspaper or the current
magazine read to him from it.-Buffalo
Express.
