A Nice Bar.

Thomas Hully had bar of bull
lion run at the Douglass assay Office
here this week that was very nice
looking brick. The bar was worth
about So, 700, and was obtained from
ore worked from the Logan & HUI.
ley mine, in Como. About 100 tons
of ore were worked, and it averaged
little over $40 per ton. This is
the last run at the Rock Point for
the season, probably, as the water
is too low now to run the mill.

firm of DR.. Miles:
ELKHART, Ind, Aug. /, 1896.
Gentlemen: To protect ourselves
in time of panic and financial dis
tress, which we regard az inevitable
if the unexpected should happen in
November--we have decided to add
the following condition to all con-
tracts made for newspaper adver-

Free Silver candidate, BRYAN, be
elected, the DR.. Miles Medical Com
pany have the privilege of cancel

From this date contracts without
this clause will not be accepted.
Respectfully,

This firm is we'll known to the
newspaper fraternity for the parsi.
nonious frugality with which il
handles it's advertising business
This paper has time and again re.
ceived propositions from it to dc
advertising, but as the price named
would not pay for composition, the
propositions fell into the waste
basket. 1t will be noticed by the
circular that it does not even in
clude in it the pro rata" PROPOSE

posedly, without any pay for worl
already done up to election time

gets SO it thinks it can dictate tn

to give said concern little free ad

silver leaves.

Last Tuesday evening Mr.. 2. Lay
ford, of Esmeralda county, read a
treatise on silver at the Court
House, entitled "Silver Leaves. .
The audience was not large, owing
possibly to the fact that the gentle
man came unannounced. Thomas
Wayne acted as chairman of the
meeting and introduced the speaker,
he also listened to the recitation to
the last. Mr.. Layford intends to
have his work published for the
purpose of circulation as campaign
literature. Daytonites are pretty
thoroughly posted on the silver
question, but money is too scarce to
contribute much to educate others,
and Mr.. Layford did not take up a
collection, as was intended.

tributed humorous sketches to his brother
Matthew's paper. the New Orleans Plea
yune, and Kate wrote her first article for
the paper when she was years old. She
was fond Of music and the stage and want
ed to become an opera singer. She was
taken TO Italy by an English lady when
she was little girl. Walter Savage Lam
dor took fancy to her, gave her lessons
in Latin and bequeathed her an album Of
ancient drawings. She wrote reminis-
oenoes of Landor for Atlantic Monthly.
In 1874 Miss Field made her debut as
an actress at Booths theater in "Peg
Wellington. " She had an attack Of stage
fright, from which she did not recover un-
til the last act. While on another visit to
England she brought out a one act COM
edy entitled Extremes Meet, " which ran
three months. She contributed an article
on the telephone to The Times and sang
through the then novel invention to Queen
Victoria. From SS2 to 1888 she was the
head OF a woman's cooperative dress
association in New York which turned
out failure.
Miss Field published in Washington for
several years that bright periodical known
as Kate Fields Washington, and 1t was
upon the suspension of this publication a
few months ago that she left the United
States in search of health in the south sea
isles, where she met her death.
