dent says that Mrs. Doughty had been
suffering from seuile gangrene and last
Friday her left leg was ampatated at
the thigh, it having become necessary
as the only chance OF saving her life.
Mrs. Doughty was about go years of age.
She leaves four children, Mrs. l.. Dani-
her, j.. G. Doughty Jr., Frank and sam
to mourn her loss.
Says the feminine editor of a Califor-
MIA paper: "We are a woman and in
olnmon with the larger portion of wo-
mankind, we protest against all this
newspaper talk about boomers. Do
you ever hear women worrying as to
whether the men shall wear copper
riveted overalls, tight trousers or father
hubbard pants?"
Yes, but if the men began to wear
various distinctively feminine articles Of
apparel, wouldn't you comment on it?
Would the blooming or boomerang
idiots be fair subjects for COMMENT

Mrs. Geo. Hawkins went into her
milkhouse last week and accidently
stepped into a hole in the floor. She
threw out her hand to steady herself
against the milk-rack and put her hand
into a pan of milk. She thought the
cream was unusually cold and was try
ing to extricate her foot and make an
investigation when her son, who was
standing near, saw a large r~attlesnake
coil up and make IA spring at his mother.
He knocked the snake aside with a
piece oil board and his mother was not
bitten. The snake had peer helping
itself to the cream and Mrs. Hawkins
had placed her hand upon it in the
pan. 1t measured three feet .-Courier.
1t is we'll known by all who have close
ly observed the habits of the Nevada
Indians that by chewing the root of a
certain species of %sagebrush a substance
greatly resembling rubber is produced.
Here is Il chance for some inventive
mind to distinguish itself and discover
the method by which rubber for bicycle
tires may be extracted from s~agebrush.
The demand for bicycles is steadily in
creaslng, the worlds supply OF rubber
is decreasing; why not utilize the NIL
lions OF acres of sagebrush on this coast ?
We shall apply for a copyright of the
idea and demand royalty of the manu-
facturer OF the Superior Sagebrush
Stretchable res.-Carson News.
On the bank of the river and oppo-
site Fraternal cemetery is VIM. Donald
sons brick kiln, which has been an OBJ
jet of interest to many during the past
month or more. There are probably
10000 brick in the kiln which is now
being burned. A fire started last Tues
day night will be kept burning for eight
days and nights and some fifty cords of
wood will be consumed. The bricks
when sun-dried were very promising
and III doubt after the burning will
prove to be of first quality. 1t is ten
yeare since a kiln of brick was made at
Wadsworth prior to Mr.. Donaldson's
venture. The children have been in
terested observers since the yard was
started and when school opens the
teachers will be deluged with comp posi-
tions about bricks.
The great difficulty experienced by
many IA mother in pursuading her
daughter and her daughters young
man to terminate their evening seances
at a reasonable hour is an old, old story.
Many an odd method has been used to
move the young man out and the pirl to
bed but the record was broken by a
Virginia mother a few evenings ago.
The young man was a stP yer, the like
of whom is seldom matched, and the
girl helped him stay; the mother coulu
not touch them. All old expedients to
influence the lovers to observe proper
hours had failed. So on the night in
question, the mother walked into The
parlor at the evil hour of midnight al d
presented d night robe to the young
man and another to the girl. Then she
remarked that she thought they were
waiting for something, and left the
room. 1t is needless to say that the
young man departed, and that he has
not stayed late since.-Chronicle.
