The wather is delightfully."- cool for this

uate, Miss Annie Thelan, q student OF

A social hop was given last Saturday
evening at Stratton's Hall. 1t was an

Can You Sleep7

Homely language, like a homely girl,
may be SO illuminated by direct intelli-
gence as to become positively fascinat-
ing. When we say, "I've had a good
nap" it's homely, but my, doesn't it
mean a lot! Many can't sleep-don,t
know what q good nap is These
weary ones toss, turn and agonize, wear
out their brains and bodies,-a useless
waste of energy and life. Pabst Malt
Extract, the "Best" Tonic, will bring
sleep to you-you will nestle to slumber
like a tired child. Take a glass just be-
fore going to bed, and in ten minutes
you will go drowsily to Sunderland.
After a week or so sleep will come nat
urally and you won't need the Tonic.
Health, strength and mental calmness
come also to help the weak, the weary
and the heavy-laden, for PABST MALT
+ XTRACT is the BEST Tonic.

The Langle, Airship.

One Of the most interesting articles
Of the month is that in which in Nc
Clures Magazine. Professor s. P. Lang
ley of the Smithsonian institution at
Washington tells the story of how he
made the flying machine. We only dis
cover by reading the paper what nerve,
what courage, what intellectual power
and study, what perseverance it re-
quired to accomplish the work Profess
o. Langley has done-namely, to make
a machine which will rise by its w
power and travel through the air in the
direction desired. This he has certainly
accomplished, past all doubling, past
all experiment.
The paper is illustrated with pictures
OF the machine and its parts. We learn
here that it has taken ten years Of Pro-
fessor Langley's life to bring the ma
chine to success. The idea of initiating
o bird he abandoned early in the
game. Railway trains do not walk up
on legs like \ horse. Nature never en-
ploys anything like the paddle wheel or
screw. So he sought q new adaptation
Of natures principles.
1t took years to solve the problem of
making the machine balance itself and
not run amuck and turn over in the air.
Other years were likewise spent in
making the thing SO that it would raise
itself in the air. 1t was not so difficult
to get light propelling machinery. The
problem Of the influence Of wind cur
rents had also to be studied. Again and
again, after constructing ut great ex-
pense apparatus which promised fair, it
had to be abandoned, aud the professor
had to begin all over.
Now, however, he considers the prob
lem solved. 1t is possible as a scientific
experiment to travel through the air in
a machine which Professor Langley has
made and named the aerodrome, a word
meaning air runner. The professors
great work is accomplished. He gives
to the world the aerodrome, which those
interested may now take hold Of and
utilize for commercial purposes.

%OLINGH0USE MINES.

W. d. Linton received a half dozen
maps of the district made by L. X.
Stewart. The map il a nice piece OF
work and gives a good idea OF the entire
district from Olinghouse to the Talbot
coal mine.
II. II. Beck went up to the Hutchin-
son yesterday and will carefully sample
some of the ore dumps.
Inside of two weeks we expect to see
at least six large gold washing machines
in operation at the mines.
Charley Higley came down from Reno
this week to s%uperihtend the work on
the Hutchinson.
Charlie Higley killed a rattle snake
near M~cClanesburg that was an inch
and a half in diameter. The rattlers are
too numerous for comfort in the canyons.
Olinghouse Canyon will produce gold
for some time to come. TIE boys will
experiment for n month, find the best
means of working and then look out for
the production in plenty.
Messrs. Beck and McInnis have re-
turned from the O~linghouse district af-
ter a visit OF three or four days. Both
are encouraged over the ou look and re-
port that earnest and diligent work is in
progress throughout the camp. N. A.
Hummel OF the DISPATCH gives a general
review of the work going on in the sew
eral locations and speaks encouragingly
of the prospects. 1t is intended to sack
the ore from two or three of the mines
and ship it and have it tested in guam
tity. 1t is believed that satisfactory re-
suits will be obtained and will prove be-
yond any question the opinions and
hopes of the promoters OF the several
mines already opened. 1t is earnestly
hoped that the views of the men who
have endeavored to open up this district
will be realized, not only for their own
advantage, but the whole western por-
ton of the State weufd be materially

H. H. Beck went down to Olinghouse
q month ago and again spent three days
in the camp last week, and was much
more fsvorably impressed with his
second visit than he was with his first.
In fact Mr.. Beck thinks very well of the
new camp, and is making arrangements
to have a couple carloads of ore from
the Hutchinson and other claims sent
To the Reno Reduction Works to- be
worked. He expects the ore to be here
by next Wednesday, and will know in
Ttwenty-four hours after its arrival more
about the camp than he does today

"Oh, yes, sir" she said, There is
very good fishing here; many PEG
pie come here for fishing"
what kind of people come here2'
l asked.
Literary gentlemen come here
very often, Sir. We had Mr.. Andrew
Lang staying here
"Oh, really Does he fish, Is he a
good fisherman2"'
Yes, sir, he fishes beautifully.
Really! Does he catch much2
"Oh, no, sir, he never catches any
thing, but he fishes beautifully.
