A. Petagna, who committed sui
eide in the county Jail here last
Friday. was buried in Virginia City
last Sunday by some of his Italian
friends Since his death it has been
learned that he was anxious to COM
init suicide in Virginia City, while
in Jail there, and that he made an
attempt to do so in the Lyon county
Jail before hanging himself. When
being laid out for burial in Kuhn's
undertaking parlors in Virginia, a
deep cut was found on one of his
legs, below the knee, and this cut
was undoubtedly made in the at
tempt to bleed himself to death. A
sharp piece of tin, covered with
blood was found in his cell here,
and this is what he made the wound
with, probably. In his bed in the
cell was also found another rope,
made of "a piece of comforter and
the lining from his. overcoat, which
had been torn out and tied together.
This rope, when tried proved to be
too rotten to hold his weight, and
was therefore not used in the final
act of the tragedy of the killing of
Thomas Zeimeitz. Petagna's grave
should be kept green in remem
brance of the patriotic deed he did
in shutting off without the aid of
the hangman, as thereby he saved
the county some $4,000, if not more.

A little girl was asked to write
an essay on the wise man and this
is what she produced:
"King Solomon was a man who
lived ever so many years ago. In
the country that he governed he
was the whole push. He was an
awful wise man and one day two
women came to him each holding
onto a leg of baby and each
claiming it. The King was not
feeling right, why could not the brat
have been twins and saved all this
bother. Solomon called for his
sword and was going to chop the
baby in two and give each one Of
them piece of it, when the one who
was the mother of the baby said
"Stop Solomon, stay thy hand; if |
can't have the whole baby | don't
want any. Let the old bag have it,"
Then King Solomon told her to
take the baby and go home and
wash its face for he knew it was
hers. He told the other to 60 chase
herself. King Solomon built tenn
pie and was the father of all the
Masons. He had 700 wives and 300
lady friends and that's why there
are so many Masons in the world.
My papa says King Solomon was a
warm number, and | think he was
hot stuff myself. That's all | know
about King Solomon."-E1.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

case OF Deafness caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Cat arrh Cure. Send for

Sign the Petition.

The members of Nevada State
Equal Suffrage Association most
earnestly appeal to the citizens of
Nevada, 81 years of age and up
wards, to sign the petition being
circulated in every immunity, and
which will be presented to the Leg
islature of '99, praying that Honor
able body to amend Article Two Of
the Constitution of the State of Ne
vada, by striking therefrom where
ever it occurs, the word "MALE."
This appeal is made in the spirit
of true Americanism, that proclaims
equal rights for all, therefore, we
hope for willing response from all.
Every name signed to the petition
will aid in Fastening the solution Of
the Equal Suffrage question. 1t is
as necessary to good government
that the women of the nation should
vote their opinions on all questions
that concern the people as it is for
men to vote their opinions. Until
women have obtained the right pro-
tective of all other rights-the bal
lot--the agitation must and will go
on. Honorable Legislators we hope
fully await your decision.

COrbett-Sharkey Fake.

Corbett and Sharkey started in to
fight 20-round battle in New York
Tuesday night, but in the ninth
round Corbett's hacker, McVey,
jumped into the ring to claim a
foul. The referee, Kelly, gave the
fight to Sharkey, who would have
whipped Corbett in few rounds
more. All bets were declared off,
as the appearance of a job was plain.
Fitzsimmons has all along claimed
the fight would be fake, and the
result leads him to remark that
there is but one square fighter in
the world, and he is Robert Fitz-
simmons.

RAILROAD. TALK.

The Salt Lake Tribune of the
18th has the following, which af-
fords one explanation of the move
ments of the surveying party re-
Gently operating between Richfield
and Cove Creek, or the sui phur
beds, in western Utah:
"President Coils P. Huntington,
of the Southern Pacific" remarked
one of the high officials the other
day, sis making that survey in
southern Utah to kill several birds
at one shot. Twill grant," the speak
er continued, that the sulphur and
especially the coal of that region
are resources which have not been
overlooked by the farsighted presi-
dent, but at the same time he has
in mind another move, one which
will checkmate the Utah q Pacific
and also the Central Pacific.
1t is no secret that the New York
and European owners of Central
Pacific securities are not working at
present with the Southern Pacific.
President Huntington realizes that
he has not thorough hold on the
Central Pacific, that it is slipping
from him, in fact, and reorganiza-
ton plans are being made in direct
antagonism to the present operators
OF the property.
There is no need at this time to
60 into the short distance ard the
route of line from southern Utah
to the Southern Pacific rails, nor
the ease with which the road could
be built. But the one vital point
to be brought out is the fact that
the Southern Pacific surveyors have
run the preliminary line through
Clear Creek Canyon to Cove Creek.
This point is midway between Black
Rock on the Oregon Short Line and
Sewer on the Rio Grande Western.
President Huntington is nndoubted-
ly fortifying himself to be able to
connect with either or both Utah
systems in event of the Central Pa
cific being lost to him."
The Phoebe Record says: The rail
road is completed for twelve miles
out of Milford and cars for trans
porting construction material have
been obtained so that work will re-
sumo in a day or two with the old
working force. The Company still
asserts it will make its terminus
near Sulphur Springs during the
month of December.

LOOKING UP AUXILIARY
CRUISERS.

board of cruisers reconvened shortly be-
fore O'Clock. After the morning session
they inspected the Ward line steamship
Orizaeb, Saratoga and Seneca, and d. B.

had a speed of IA KIN rs an hour. She is
being repaired here by the Morgan Iron
works. member of the board said that

depend largely upon the guns available

the vessel could be made in u month.

SPAIN'S FIGHTING FORCE.
Seventy Thousand Soldiers Killed OF In
capacitated During Cuban War.

Washington, March 1S.-Seventy thous.
and Spanish soldiers have been killed,
wounded and otherwise iucapaoitated for
duty during the present war in Cuba.
These figures have been received here
from reliable sources and are said to be as
nearly authentic as it is possible to make
them without recourse to the records kept
same source it is learned that the forces
of Spain in Cuba comprise 1875, 900 regu-
lars, of whom $4,000 are effective for
military purposes and about 10000 men
in the volunteer army. There are 5000
men who for various causes are not effec-
tive for military duty. The strength OF
the Spanish army at home and in nearby
possessions is 100, 900 men, which in times
of demand for additional soldiers may be
increased as follows:
First reserve, $4,000; second reserve,
100. 900 men, all of whom are instructed
in military tactics and second reserve,
which is not instructed, OF 3OO, 600 men,
making in all grand total of $40, 600
men. Since these figures were received
here recent drafts of $4,000 men to
strengthen the army in Cuba leave only
| IS, 900 men of Spain's regular army now
| in the peninsula, the Balearic islands,
the Spanish possessions in North Africa
and the Canary islands.
In the Philippine islands Spain has an
army of 49, 600 men including about II, 600
native troops. Several regiments OF the
latter were disbanded during the late in
surrection and IN time of war, it Is said,
they are Of very little use to the Spanish
government.
In Porto Rico there are 5000 Spanish
troops, which in the event of nostilities
could be supplemented by 1000 volunteers.
