as much butter, and, in fact as
much of any farm produce as |

In other words, everything my farm

gone down half in value. That is

work TO be Resumed at Cottonwood
A correspondent writing to the
Reno Journal from Lovelock says:
"The National Nickel Company,
of Cottonwood, Churchill county,
has four carloads Of machinery at
the depot, and is arranging to put
in an electric plant to reduce the
nickel ore, of which it is said they
have several thousand tons in sight.
D. D. Grannis and G. L. Laid have
teams engaged hauling the machin-
cry to the mine. George Lovelock,
John Sullivan and Michael Walsh
have valuable nickel properties in
Cottonwood also, and if the new
electric plant works the ore success
fully Cottonwood will no doubt be
a lively camp for long time to

When the Belgic was in port last Fri

land expressed wish to mail some let

himself he called upon a genteeP look

The letter carrier never came back
with the change the passenger thought
was his, so he kicked loud and long.
The matter was reported to the police
and Menzes was arrested and held for
investigation. He says the man gave
him nine letters and dollar; he was to
buy the stamps and keep the change.
He denies positively that ne received
more than the amount named, and re-
flutes the charge that he neglected to
mail the letters. He will probably be
tried this morning in the police court.

LADYBIRDS vs.. APHIS.
Professor KOebele Tells of the Pest
at Kilauea Plantation.
Pest VIII he Wiped Out In About
a week-Cane Retarded
a Month or So.

Professor A. Koebele who in response
to call from Kilauea Plantation, left
for that place on the Iwalani last week,
returned on the same steamer Sunday
after having spent several days in the
investigation of the work of thesaphis,
a form of blight discovered to be play
ing havoc with the cane a short time
ago.
A reporter of this paper called at the
Arlington Sunday night and learned
from Professor Koebele the following
story which must needs prove of great
interest to all those interested in sugar
and the effect of various pests upon the
cane:
"a report came to me from Kilauea,
Kauai, fortnight or more ago to the
effect that the aphis had attacked the
cane and I went up Immediately to in
vestigate.
Manager Ewart took me to the cane
fields and l noticed in some places that
the leaves of the cane were dead or dy-
ing. Closer investigation showed that
these leaves were black and that whole
colonies of the aphis were upon them
Manager Ewart told me that they had
retarded the growth of the cane about
a month
We went to the places where the
pests had been thickest in the beginning
and it was found that the cane was il
a perfectly healthy condition with the
blight all gone. In place Of these were
myriads of lady birds.
Throughout the whole plantation
found these lady birds, I should say
from one to two hundred strong on eacl
stalk.
These insects mean business fol
they are waging effectual warfare
against the blight, and before weel
is over will completely wipe it out.
There was nothing for me to do fol
my friends the lady birds are doing thu
work.
TOO much cannot be said in favol
of the lady birds which were brough
her about two years ago. They have
proven the saving of the cane at Lihue
the second place on the island of Kaua
that has been attacked on the aphis.

SMALL BLAZE.

Fire Department Called to Hus-
tace Stables on South Street.
At about 1890 p. m. Saturday an
alarm of fire was turned in from the
HusJace stables ON South street near
King.
Just little while previous w. H.
Hogs, who was attending to some mat
ters at the stables, noticed volumes of
smoke arising from large rubbish
heap TO the rear OF the premises. The
drivers Of the drays were lounging
about the yard, having just completed
their monday meal, and had not MOTTO
ed the fire.
There was soon a big blaze which
was urged on by the strong breeze, and
there was imminent danger of the fire
being communicated to the coal in the
shed near by. The Portuguese labor
ers were set to work beating out the
flames until the chemical engine ar
rived and got in its work. The flames
were soon under control. The only
damage done was the destruction of
the rubbish pile.
1t is thought that the fire was started
by some boys playing with matches
near the rubbish pile.

CFrom Commercial-Appeal, Memphis

(From Commercial-Appeal, Memphis,
Tenn
A Commercial-Appeal reporter hav-
ing heard of a marvellous cure of a
case of sciatica OF long standing, pro-
ceeded to investigate it, and the facts
are more wonderful than the rumor.
The person who was afflicted was DR..
William NJ. Flowers, VINO lives in
Kinds County, Mississippi, midway be-
tween Stems Creek and Byram. DIR.
Flowers is one of the most prosperous
men in the county, having ceased the
practice of medicine and devoted his
time to managing his large plantation,
grist mill and cotton gin.
DR.. Flowers was seen by the news
paper man and asked about the cure
Yes" said he, Il have suffered for
years with sciatica in It's most malig-
nant form. l am a physician, and l
tried every remedy known, but re-
ceived no relief Finally, twelve years
ago l was compelled to abandon my
practice on account of my suffering.
Probably eighteen months ago, l
saw an article telling of the merits of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and decided to try them.
used a number of boxes, and am now
cured. The sciatica has left me en-
tirely, and l know positively that l
was cured by the use of the pills.
This is brief but strong.
In Byram, little town on the Illi-
nois Central Railroad, the reporter met
Mr.. S. S. MCGOWAN, a prominent resi-
dent of that place He said:
Some months ago my wife heard of
the wonderful cure of DR.. Flowers. She
was at that time suffering with one of
her hands, which she had the misfor-
tune to cut. The tendons of one of her
fingers had been cut and she lost the
use of that finger, and in addition, her
hand was wasting away She could
not even hold plate without dropping
it. Just as a venture she bought a
box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
by the time she used them all, there
was a perceptible improvement, and
she continued their use. Now her
hand is as well as ever, and she can use
it as good as she ever did. Yes, sir,
those are facts, and Dr. Williams Pink
Pills cured her."
An analysis of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills shows that they contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements neces-
sary to give new life and richness to
the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica,
neuralgia, rheumatism, nervour head
ache, palpitation of the heart, and all
forms of weakness either in male or
female, and all diseases resulting from
vitiated humors in the blood
Pink Pills are put up in glass walls,
both outside wrapper and vial bear
ing the full trade mark "Dr. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People" These
pills are sold by HOLSTER Drug Co.,
Hebron Drug Co., and all dealers in
medicine.

Lihue Not a Good Place to Find
Birds and Insects.
R. c. L. Perkins the naturalist who
has done such good work on the is-
lands in the line Of taxidermy and
etymoIogy, returned from Kauai on the
steamer Iwalani Sunday morning after
a short stay at Lihue where he went to
gather what he could in the line of
birds or insects. He says that Lihue
is very lovely place and that the
woods at that place are very fine but
they are so dense that it would take a
couple of natives with very sharp axes
to penetrate so as to be able to collect
anything at all. Under the circum-
stances this could not be done.
Mr.. Perkins returned to this city on
business and will take a steamer soon
for Maxwell. He is thoroughly ac-
quainted with this field and is sure
that he will come back soon all laden
with good things in the line of birds
and beasts of various kinds.
