The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1897-10-13

After a fortnight's silence the
Messenger once moro brings up the
ouestion of county printing, explains
...sip the cause of Is birth and apollo
o;zes for its existineo. The present
.rt;cle and the one written last
month emanated from different
ners and if the Messenger will try
a0aln the public will soon get the
inside workings of the county print
inc contract. 1t will make interest
ing reading too.
We would like ths public to know
all about the REcoRD's and LoDE's
connection with county printing.
and compare it with the MESSENGER,
and the reflection, in the end will
not be on either the RECORD or the
LODE.
The article in question says samong
other things: So rtn
ga year ago when printing was
light, meaning April 1897 the
RECORDS bid was accepted. The
LODE put in no bid and received
one-half the salary as compensation
for keeping out of the fight, thereby
compelling the Commissioners to
submit to that combination, which
has at last been broken"
That statement is as false as most
of the MESSENGERS other representa-
tons in the matter. The facts are
that during the election period oi
1896 the Delamar list of voters and
other printing of direct interest tc
Delamar citizens was printed in the
RECORD, at some loss of time, and
when the contract was again let in
April of last year it was proposed tc
divide the printing between tht
RECORD and LODE SO that each com
munity could derive the fullest ben
eft from matters of interest to it
The Commissioners, and all inter
ested figured on the work likely to b.
done. The LODE and RECORD thu
took and divided the work, agreed
to take no more for the work thar
it would amount to at legal rates b.
the end of the contract year, ant
gave 81 900 bond to fill their con
tract. They did their work a
agreed and the only compaint W.
ever heard was that they were to-
Jealous in it, and last April whel
the year was up, a computation
showed the work done to be worth
at the rates prescribed by law, $l7
more than the papers had been pai'
for it.
Now, the people of Delamar ar
in worse fix than two years ago an
the Registry Agent there publishe
notice of his books being open, il
the LODE, at his own expense.
Nobody ought to know the tru
inwardness of the matter better tina
the Commissioners and their &C
wiser, and if they have any desire
voice their sentiments in the matte
the columns of the RECORD ore ope
for that purpose.
We state only provable facts an
if we are wrong will promptly 8
matters right.

popular with oddities in colOrs and
will cause fish to bring as good a
price as if it had orange or purple
scales.
In physical developments the great
varieties are in respect to the tail.
One never finds two headed fish, but
those with more than one tail are plen-
tiful. Two, three, four and FIVE tails
are quite often found on the fish and
sometimes even six, but the latter Is
very rare. OF course a fish with six
tails would bring a handsome price in
any market.
Goldfish are often killed by over
attention, but sometimes by lack of
attention. The two things which
above all should be avoided are over
feeding them and failure TO keep fresh
water in the aquarium. An even,
moderate temperature should be main
tanned, and they should be kept in the
dark at night.-Chicdgo Tribune.

A Hog and Snake Fight.

Another snake story, and good
o.e, comes from the Old Dominion.
Sallie Bailey is a little Lass, aged
twelve, and the other day was sent to
the spring-house for pan of milk.
She got the pan, and on her way home
set it down on the grass, and began to
pick some berries. When she turned
again she saw a rattlesnake drinking
the milk. She was not six feet away
when she saw the snake, and as she
came to halt the snake saw her and
coiled as if to strike. The little maid
was paralyzed with fear and had not
power to even call for help. She
clasped her hands and gszed at the
horrible reptile in helpless terror
What might have happened, no one
knows, had not help come from an un-
expected quarter. A fat hog, saunter-
ing around in search Of beech nuts,
came in sight. and in a moment made
for the snake. The battle was excit-
ing, but short, and Sallie, now at safe
distance, watched it with wonder. The
snake more than once bit the hog, but
each time the hog received the bite on
its jaw, where the great layers Of fat
rendered the poison inocuous. Then,
when the snake had exhausted its ven-
ON, it concluded to retreat, but the
hog then took bis innings Jumping
on his enemy, he pinned it fast to the
ground, and with his teeth absolutely
tore it to pieces, and then ate it. Lit
tie Sallie engaged in nervous crying
spell for few minutes, and then car
ried home the milk and told her tale
to sympathetic ears.

An old Swede farmer who lives on
the Baltimore and Ohio road a few
miles out Of town had the misfortune
to lose a valuable colt the other day.

The claim agent Of the road went out

this affair happened. said the railway
man, "and ! hope it will not be neces.

The old farmer looked at him suspi-
ciously and shifted about uneasily, but
said nothing.
"You must remember" continued
the claim agent, that your colt was a
trespasser on our property when the
accident occurred, We don't want
any litigation. however, il we can help
it, and we'd like to arrange settle

Light Globes for Health.


A New York physician said recently
to patient of his. a lady of wealth,
that he would refuse to treat Ler fur
ther if she did not give up wearing
black. It was not, however, until a
discussion ensued that he found out
how much he was asking. Not only
were her gowns black, but her under
wear throughout was of the same color.
The doctor then remarked that he had
considered the alternative he offered
her, to abandon black gowns or find
another physician, an extreme meas
ure, and only justified because of her
peculiarly nervous and neurotic state;
but when it came TO discovering that
she had nothing but black clothes upon
her person, he would refuse TO treat
anybody SO dressed. The peculiarly
nervous and neurotic state he consid-
cred largely explained by this dress
alone.
He succeeded in etfecting a change
in this patients attire throughout, IN
sisting on white, all white under
clothes, and as much use Of white in
the outer garments as was practicable.
There are hundreds of women simi-
larly i'll and dressed as she was, who
have no idea that anything but a
question of taste is involved in the color
of garments They would not expect
a plant covered up from the sun by
repeated layers of black cloth to flour
ish, but they do not know that light
and sunshine are necessary TO their
bodies. The whole body needs light,
and sunshine is well recognized as. hav-
ing the most valuable healing proper
ties upon the nervous system it acts
with special force, and sleeplessness,
nervous headaches and irritability can
often be cured by sun-baths alone.

The biggest grain harvester IN the
world is in operation upon Roberts
Island, in the San joaquin river, near
Stockton, Cal. We learn from press
telegram that the machine turns out
three G0-pound sacks of wheat every
minute. 1t has a cutting line Of fifty
two feet, and it also threshes and
sacks the grain. In one run around u
40O0-acre field, it will turn out hun
dreds of sacks of wheat ready for mar
ket. The cost of harvesting has been
reduced to a minimum by this ma
chine, and the number Of days con-
sumed in getting a large field ready
for market will be about half that of
the regular harvester. Eight or ten
men handle it easily, while it is turn.

working in the heaviest wheat ever
grown in California. The grain on
the islands has always been tall and
of rank growth, but this year it was
much heavier than in past seasons.
No difficulty has been experienced in
harvesting as the traction engine,
which was built especially for the har-
vester, pushes it through the thick
grain with about the same ease that
an ordinary engine would draw a wag-

Just Do Your Best.

The signs are bad when folks commence
A-fndin' fault with Providence,
And balkin' cause the earth don I shake
At every prancin' step they take.
No man is great till he can see
How less than little he would be
Ef stripped to self, and stark and bare,
He hung his sign out anywhere.
My doctrine is to lay aside
Contentious, and be satisfied:
Jest do your best, and praise er blame
That follers that counts jest the same.
I've allus noticed great success
Is mixed with troubles, more or less,
And it's the man who does the best
That gifts more kicks than all the rest.

His head and body were a mass
of sores, and his nose was swollen to
several times its natural size; to add to
his misery he had catarrh, which made
him almost deaf, and his eyesight also
became affected. No treatment was
spared that we thought would relieve
him, but he grew worse until his ccndi-
ton was indeed pitiable. A dozer blood
remedies were given him by the whole
sale, but they did not the slightest good.
had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice Of friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc), and
at first the inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided i'm
provement was the result, and after he
had taken dozen bottles, no one who
knew OF his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
cores on his body have healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health"

A Modern
Lazarus.

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One Of the most common
hereditary diseases Is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, asd their eff
forts to cure 1t meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
1t is important for this reason that i'm
mediate attention be given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest taint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, $50 Elm ST., Macon,
Ca, writes:
"My boy, Charlie, inherited scrofu-
lous blood taint, and from infancy was
covered with terrible sores, his sufferings
being such that 1t was impossible to
dress him for three years.
