Busters Sentence COMMITTED

Sheriff McDeid at l:15 Monday
morning RECEIVED a dispatch from Car
son saying that the board of pardons
had just committed the sentence of In
dian Johnny Buster TO imprisonment
for life. The news was at once COM
municated to the Indian murderer, who
was lying on top of the cells, where he
has spent most OF the time since having
been sentenced the second time to
death.
Buster frightened up at once when
told that he was to be sent TO the ''big
jail' at Carson insted of being hanged.
A smile spread over his usually impas-
sive features. and did not disappear
when he was told hat he would have to
work hard at prison, saying that he
would rsthar work and get some fresh
air than die. He said lie thought he
was going to be hanged, ''but it couldn't
be helped"
For some days Buster has eaten but
little and without doubt fully realized
his position. The Communication papers
will probably arrive today or tomorrow
and Buster will be taken to Carson
without delay TO pass the rest of his
days in the ~peniientiary, unless the
board of pardons should see ft,st = fu-
ture day to exercise further mercy by
granting him y full pardon. He has
been contined in the jail here since the
middle OF January lS96.-Silver State.

John Merrigan Dead.

At a quarter TO nine sunday morning
the spirit oil John Merripan passed to
the great beyond. The old gentleman
had been a rifle sick Tor Il few days at
The residence Of his son Daniel, and L.
d. Norman had been in attendance as
nnrse. Mr.. Herman and the old gen
tltman had partaken OF breakfast aId
were enjoying a smoke when Mr..
Merrigan said he guessed he wouLi take
a little sleep. He was helped TO the
bed and peacefully, hardly noticeably,
his spirit took its fight to his Maker.
His son, ID. V. Merrisan, was teie-
grapled Tor and arrived here Monday.
The funeral took place from the
Catholic Church Yesterday morning at
II O'Clock. the remains being inferred in
Fraternal Cemetery. Father Kelly, OF
Reno, officiat.d at the funeral and the
pail bearers we're: VIM. Nichols, j.. j.
Savan, W. T. Golding, S. Beemer, f. y.
Short aud j. w. Allen. The funeral
WAS under the direction OF G. ID. Norman
and the body was followed to the grave
by citizens in carriages and on foot.
John Merrigan was a native OF Kings
County, Ireland, where he first saw the
light of day eiehty-ttiree years Q ago.
He was well known in the Stat having
gone to Austin in 70 where he resided
Tor a number of years, leaving there for
Winnemucca and finally coming to
Wadsworth some six years ago. His
figure, bowed under more than four
score of years, was a familiar n to our
people who all liked him. He was a
restless spirit in spite of his age, an in
veterate and skillful fisherman, and his
wonderful vitality was often remarked.

Dangers Of he Grip.

The greatest danger from La Grippe is
Of its resulting in pneumonia. Ii rea-
4onable care is used, however, and
Chan,berlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens OF thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn of a single case resulting in pneu-
monia. which shows conclusively that
this remedy is a certain preventive OF
that dread disease. 1t will effect a per-
manent cure in less time than any other
treatment. The % and so cent sizes for

The Size Of Il.

An Assemblyman was heard to re-
mark Saturday that he had just seen
Governor Sadler and his private secre-
tary holding an animated conversation
in the lobby Of the Capitol building
about the Stubbs- Sadler controversy,
aud that the private %secretsry looked
like he had just taken an overdose Of
nux vomica. The Governors skin was
too thick, but his private secretary was
evidently very much worried, says the
Gazette. That is about the size of it as
it appears to us that the Governor or
some individual close to him had to ven
spleen against DR.. Stubbs and tried very
hard to invent tire shadow OF an excuse
Tor doing so. 1t succeeded only Uncover
ing the conspirators with mud and has
caused those who love isticc to rally 10
the support Of DR.. Stubs.

a great deal is known in the trade as

To produce the film Of color he
quickly immerses his bulb in the color
ing fluid, which gives the object a
marvellous lustre. The most delicate
shading is obtained by eating away
the color by means of fluOric acid,
which is frequently employed, and
most beautiful effects are thus pro-
duced. No one has seen these varie-
gated Christmas tree decorations but
has marveled at the intense brilliancy
of their color. These supe.b effects
