in part: ''Of course, l understand the
impression that Nevada is going down

Unchanging mute. beneath the varying Sky,
Mysterious realm, vast treasures in thee lie
Snow-crowned mountains, wrinkled, Sphinx

Holding thy secrets awful, round thee stand.
Above thy dissolution storm clouds fly,
And giant forms In spectral majesty
Trail their white robes across the dusty land.
In those dark shadows fairest flowers grow;
Leaping adown thy slopes the joyous streams
Among the willows OF the valley flow
In the broad meadows lol the water CLEANS
And lonely ranches like oases glow,
Gemming with beauty this dull home OF

THE WELL INFORMED, WHO
L believe in getting the sweets OF life
as they journey along this rocky path
way Of our existence, know full well
that the inner man must be well provi-
ded for, or life will be dismal failure.
They know that the stomach is the
thermome e er, as it we're, of our daily life
when it is we'll nourished with good and
wholesome foods, we enjoy life. things
look prosperous, and we feel happy, on
the contrary, when not well furnished
everything seems dismal and dark. Our
friends think there is something the
matter with us, and, there is, we are not
complying with the laws of nature.
Now the logical conclusion of this is.
tfat we should always provide .onrselyes
with the best the market affords.

been fed since last October with the
greatest care, ON the fat producing alfa'-
ia produced on the Sink of Carson, and
as a consequence are as good as the skill
of man an make them. Their mutton
sheep are from the same pastures and
the same noted feeders. .
Their hogs are grain fed on the Car
son River and at Saltwater, which are
noted for their pork productions. Their
hams, bacon, and lard are from the lar
gest packing house, in America-Swift 4
Co. of Omaha-with whom we have ii
yearly contract, and these goods are
strictly corn-raised. Hence we lay claim
to keeping the best and healthiest meats
and provisions to be had from any
source.
This is why our patrons are Away

case to-day indicated an effort 10 prove that Luke
Devlin a clerk in the War Department who is
named as executor In the partially burned VIII
which so mysteriously appeared In the Regis
ter's Office forged the document. This line OF evil
dence although anticipated for some time by those
who have closely followed the remarkable contest
in the courts caused sensation by i's develop
ment to-day during the examination Of man
named Fought who Judge ge-Advocate-General
Hollis messenger from 1863 TO 1876 He gave IN
stances TO show that Devlins relations with
Judge Holt were the reverse OF intimate. ana that
stormy times between them were OF common oc-
currence Devlin however. was an expert penman
at the time and when. by oversight In signing the
numerous papers laid before him Judge Holt would
omit any the witness said. Devlin aiicr once
hours with the full knowledge oi other employees
would clcverly initiate the judges signature on
such papers OF routine character Thcs"
SIGNATURES were pronounced about GOOD ~ the
Judge himself could have made. This practice was
habitual In the office. Devlin was also a collector
o., autographs. cutting them frequently from ON
cial documents and he was an expert at initiating
various ch.rOgraphies. 80 ,
The witness examined the alleged VIII ana de-
clarei that Il WAS in Judge Holts hand. nor
had il been signed by him. The city elitor OF one
local paper and the publisher OF another testified
that I)evlln had brought typewritten copies or the
alleged Will TO them the day Il apparently dropped
from tho clouds and before It's discovery was made
public and that he was nervous, and SAID ana ga
strange things.
