7 7 O You
The Most important

Matter demanding attention at this
season is the condition of your blood.
Your health depends upon it, for as
the quality and quantity of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
The blood conveys all the elements
whichgo to makeup the organs, nerves
and tissues of the body, and carries
away all dissolved, useless material.
Every bone, muscle, nerve and tissue,
lives upon what the blood feeds to it.
The whole world knows that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the standard remedy
for making pure blood.
1t possesses merit peculiar to itself
and by which it effects marvellous
cures even when other preparations
fail. When you buy your spring medi-

The Pine Nut Skeleton.

A skeleton Of q man was found at
Pine Nut Valley recently, and many
guesses have been made as to who the
person was. 1t is thought by some
people that the remains are those of a
convict named Jones who escaped
from the Nevada State prison in the
great break OF 1871. 1t will be re-
membered that several escaped con-
victs killed young Poor, a mail CARR
er betweed Carson City and Aurora.
Jones was one of the murderers :.
The murder was committed while
other convicts Of the party we're away
digging potatoes, and when they re-
turned to the place where they were
camped and learned OF the murder,
Burke, one Of the party who had been
digging potatoes, had quarrel with
Jones over the murder, but peace be.
tween them was finally declared. A
few days after the murder Burke and
Jones separated from the other con-
victs and went off together on fora
ging expedition. Burke returned
alone and Jones has never been heard
OF since. Burke was captured and
returned to prison and admitted that
Jones was dead, but nothing more
would he tell. 1t has always been
supposed that the two renewed their
quarrel and that Burke killed Jones;
Perhaps the skeleton found ut Pine
Nut Is all that is left Of Convict
Jones.,-Reno journal.
