VOTE ..NO."

On the 9Th day of November next
the electors of Lyon and other coun-
ties will be called upon to vote on
the question of consolidating the
counties of Storey, Ornsby, Lyon
and Douglas. In order that the peo-
pie of Lyon county may thoroughly
understand this question, the Board
of County commissioners has order
ed the publication of that portion OF
the law wherein the "nigger" lies.
1t is as follows:
SECTION 1. Not less than twenty
five days before the General Elec
ton to be held A. D. 1898, the Secre-
tary of State shall certify to the
County Clerks of Storey, Ormsby,
Lyon and Douglas counties, the fol-
lowing question to be submitted to
the electors of Storey, Ormsby, Lyon
and Douglas counties, at the said
general election, to wit: Shall Stor-
ely, Ornsby, Lyon and Douglas be
consolidated into one county? And
if a majority of the voters of any
county mentioned in this Act shall
be opposed to such consolidation
then such county shall not be in
cluded in such consolidation.
AS will be seen by the above sec
ton the voters of this county must
show that they are opposed to con-
solicitation, unless they favor it, and
to do this they must vote mo" on
the proposition, and a majority OF
the votes of the county must be re-
corded that way. IF you do not
vote at all on the question you virtu-
ally sanction consolidation. Do not
fail to vote mo" on this question.

declares that Zeimeitz pulled a pis-
tol on him some time ago and
threatened to kill him. Also that

BABY,s SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells "a about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
"At the age OF two months, my baby
bepan to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and In week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise In
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ] also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofuious sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. s. WRoTEN, Farming
ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

The Stock Market-The Spanish Ques-
 tion's Depressing Influence.
 New York, March 23.-The doubt over the outcome of the Cuban controversy between the United States and Spain was a depressing influence in the To- cal stock market to-day as it was in every market for securities in the world. In Paris the weakness of Span ish fours affected all other securities by sympathy and the same influence weakened the markets In London and Berlin, the heaviness of American se- curities being an additional factor at the latter two centers. On the local exchange there was a we'll defined bull party whose operations were attended with more or less success, thus sub- tracting very materially from the sum of the depression. The motive public ly avowed by this bull party for its at titude is that prices are lower than are warranted by intrinsic values and by the political outlook. But 1t was doubt less influenced by the technical condi- tion of the market, which is full of short contracts waiting 70 be covered on the expected slump on anticipated decisive developments in the Cuban situation. There is temptation for a bull clique to mark up prices in such a market and force the bears to cover. The success of the bulls to-day was only moderate in inducing coverings, but they did discourage further short selling and twice rallied prices from declines running up to a point or over in many prominent stocks The market clsed with one of these rallies in force, so that net changes are for the most part insignificant and there is fair sprinkling of gains. The industrial specialties continued to be the chief sufferers from the depression, Manhat- tan. Metropolitan Street Railway and Sugar being especially marked out for selling pressure. The railroad list was prety we'll sustained and the Northern Pacific stocks and Union Pacific pre- ferred showed not little firmness. The resistance to the threatening news de- velopments of the day can only be at | tributed to what is regarded by the | bull faction as it's overso1d condition. The money market seems to be waiting 
 stocks. Bankers are 10th to put out
 money in time loans, although the available supply. with the replenish-
 ment of the gold imports, is said to be | quite large. To-day's fall in exchange
 and the renewed engagements of gold
 may be put down to the apprehension
 over the future rather than to actual l demands for money. The bond market
 continued to lack animation, trading being confined to few speculative is
 sues. The tone was weak. Total sales

 BIRTHDAY DINNER
Given Yesterday by Mrs. Eleanor
 Shepard at City Mission Hall

Given Yesterday by Mrs Eleanor
 Shepard at City Mission Hall.
 More than two hundred mothers and their little children were seated yes- terday afternoon at eight tables in the large hall of the City Missions at the corner of Court and State streets. The occasion was in remembrance of the eighty fourth birthday of Mrs. Eleanor Shepard of 80 Clark street, who has for many years been a very helpful member of the woman's department of the City Missionary association. Mrs. Shepard has the care of the hospital visiting and is on duty among the sick people there nearly every week in the year. She is also especially interested in the mothers meeting, the members of which have for several years been given an annual dinner at the time of her birthday.
 The executive committee of the wo- mans department of which Mrs Shep- ard is also a member arranged for the dinner under special charge of com mittee of which Mrs H. B. Sturges was chairman. Other ladies assisting at the tables were Mrs. H. G. Newton and Mrs. J. F. Goodwin, the chairman and secretary of the executive committed; Miss s. J. Hume. the lady missionary; Mrs. O. A. Dorman, Mrs. J. M. Peck, Mrs. Katherine Miller, Mrs F. F. Hartshorne, Mrs. J. Reman, Mrs. J. H. Mansfield, Miss Jennie L. Scott. Mrs. Wakeman, Mrs. c. B. Watrous, Miss Margaret Hume and Miss Grace l.. Mossman. The two tables occupied by the little children were specially cared for by Mrs. L. c. Dayton and her daughter, Miss Lulu Dayton.
 Cards of invitation had been given out by Miss Hume, the lady mission ary, at the mothers meeting, the week previous and during the hour before the dinner all present were entertained in the upper mission hall by Charles Wissert, with selections upon his ex- cellent gralnaphone. When all had as- sembled in the dining hall the divine blessing was asked by Rev. MT. Moss man, the missionary pastor, who also referred appropriately to Mrs. Shep- ards birthday, and called on her to re- ply, which she did in words of good counsel and hearty appreciation of this pleasant remembrance or her birth day.
 The tables were abundantly spread with buttered biscuit, cold stuffed tur- key, boiled ham, various kinds of cake and pies, with tea. and coffee. For the children's table there were oranges in addition and plenty of milk. At the close of the dinner the tables were re- moved and short missionary service was held led by Mrs. Katherine Mill CT, and at which an offering of SIS was made by the members of the mothers meeting for the orphan chill dren in the famine district in India This was by Mrs. Shepard's request in place of the money being given for a birthday present to her as formerly. There were, however, presented to Mrs. Shepard two clusters of beautiful roses which she sent afterward to Mrs. Hannah D. Hume, who was un- able to be present.

Is This Yonr Hope?

It is the hope of every person suffer ing from weakness or disease that he or she shall sometime be well. Hope never deserts any man or woman. You may be i'll, you may suffer, but there is still hope. Why is this? It is because some great grand man has devoted his life to your welfare. He has studied, he has investigated and he has discov- cred, as Dr. Greene has, the road to speedy recovery. You can consult Dr. Greene, 35 West 14th St, New York City, personally or by letter, free, and can be treated at your home as well as if you. personally visited the doctor. If you are suffering, write to him at once.
