The Reno Gazette.

On March 2S, 1879, the first issue OF
the Gazette was published by the late
John F. Alexander and +. w. Hayden,
now of the Lassen Advocate, and since
that time has appeared daily, growing
steadily with the town of Reno, and well
known throughout all Nevada. This is
the Gazette's twentieth anniversary,
and today We turn u new volume. How
well the Gazette has done its work for
the past twenty years, we leave an un-
biased public to judge. We start in on
the first half of the third decade of the
Gazette's existence under favorable au
spices and will continue the publication
ia the interest of the masses, and try
as hard in the future as We have in the
past, to publish a paper whorthy the
respect and confidence of the people,
Gazette.
The Gazette is abreast of the times,
takes the Associated Press dispatches
and gives all the local news. 1t always
favors home institutions and products,
encourages public enterprises and is fear
less in expressing its views on all ques-
tions. 1t is at great expense to do these
things and is a better newspaper all
around than Reno should exp CT.

KNIGHTS OF PY7HAS.

n. A. Hummel, Grand Chancellor o
the X. OF P. OF Nevada, paid Toiyabt
Lodge, X. OF p. OF Austin an official vislt
Saturday night. The Lodge was opened
at 8 o'clock, Chancellor Commander },
b. Horton, presided.
There were 20 odd Knights present
and the Grand Chancellor exemplitied
the secret work III u very satisfactory
manner, the members expressing them
selves that Mr.. Hummel is very prob
Gent as the executive Off Ger OF this
order in this state.
At 3 o'clock the Rathbone Sisters took
charge of Castle Hall and spread a
sumptuous repast, which was enjoyed by
everyone present.
During the evening Mr.. Hummel de-
Iivered an address appropriate to both
Knights and Sisters that showed Il
thorough knowledge of both organiza-
tions by the speaker and a proficiency
in the ease and elocution on the part OF
the speaker surpassed by few, ii any,, OF
the leading citizens of Nevads.
The Grand Chancellor is a young man,
a native of Nevada, a single man, a
handsome man, a school teacher by pro-
fession, Justice OF the Peace at Wads-
worth, and editor Of the Wadsworth
DISPATCH.
At II o'clock, after enjoying speech
making, refreshments, song and music,
the gathering dispersed, after joining
hands around the hall and singing "Old
Lang Syne."
The Grand Chancellor remained over
in Austin Sunday and departed for Bat
tie Mountain Monday morning, express
ing himself that he had spent a delight
full time with his brethren OF the Toiy-
abe Range.-Reese River Reveille.

the matter plain. COMMITTEE.

The Elko~ Independent notes that the
storm was quite heavy in the upper
Humboldt and considerable o fell in
the mountains and the hopes OF the
ranchers and stockmen have raised.
Nine or ten inches of snow in Tuscarora
and no doubt the snow fall in the noun
tains at the head OF the Humboldt was
still greater.

Mr.. Edwin f. Edwards. a young man
who Is boss burner for ssvcr pipe man
ufactory at Alton. III, used RipAns Tab
ules with marked success for a pain In tho
right side which had caused him consd-
cradle trouble. This pain was SO severe"
said Mr. Edwards, THAT got but little
iest or sleep, bellg Unable to lie on that
side and not accustomed TO lying any oth-
CIR way. DIR. Ponce told me 1t was my
liver but as had always been healthy
dcubtei him. but knowing something is-ust
be done l took his advice ard treatment.
which relieved me for time. but vas
vcrtiscmeuts about R.pans Tabulcs and
concluded TO try them and did so, and had
Used less than one-half dozen Tabules
when tho pain disappeared. OF course,
felt n Lttle doubt as to whether 1t would
return or rot. so took e few more to be
sure The result has satisfied me that one
dollar spent for Ripans Tabules Will ac-
conpiish more than flve dollars spent for
so-called advice and treatment as metcd
out by the ordinary practitioner. The
Tabules were procured OF Wolf & Wilson
