a dozen kinds of game cottontail, seven

Lee, w. H. 4. Pike, Vim. Donaldson
and n. A. IlummeI were present. A
committee representing the property
owners of the district north OF the rail-
road track and western part OF town,
appeared before the Board asking that
consideration be given TO extending the
fire mains to unprotected points and
the necessary equipment, hose and hose
carts be purchased. The committee,
j. q. DriscolI, Chas. Beemer and James
Larson were assured that steps would to
taken to comply with the wishes OF the
people as early as possible. The same
action was taken in regard to extending
the main across the wagon bridge to the
corner Of j. s. Raitt's lot. The hydrants
will be put In shape for winter and all
other apparatus is reported in good
order. Attention was called to the tact
that some Main street business proper

Death on the Rail.

About midnight Saturday a youth o
about fifteen years and supposed to he
Fred 0tten OF Nlrl mia City, Nevada, LOST
his lie while attempting 70 board atrain
east OF the railroad bridge at this point.
Young often had been travelling con
siderably lately principally in the east,
ern part of this State. Sunday he left
W~innemucta with a companion oil about
his own age who gives his name as Fred
Tucker and sa, he lives in Stockton.
All went well with the two boys until
they reached Wadsworth where the
train they had been riding on stopped
across the river. They did not think it
was going any further and got OH. They
had walked about 100 yards when the
train started and Tucker got on a water
car without nlishap. Often tried to get
on by placing a hand on the platforms of
two water cars coupled together and
WAS running between them in the at
tempt when his feet strutk a switch and
he fell under the wheels. Tucker tried to
catch Often as he fell but coudd not.
Tucker says the water car that went
over Often was lifted from the rails and
he distinctly heard the crunch OF Otter's
bones as the wheels ground them to
powder. The wheels took off both legs.
Tucker notified the trainmen at once
aud DR.. Jackman was summoned. He
l relieved the boys sufferings and says he
never saw more real grit than young
Often displayed all through and after hs
was told he could not live. The boy
told the surgeon his name and where he
lived, Tucker was shocked when he
saw his companions injuries and will
probably stop touring the country any
more. Coroner Peers came down from
Reno and the coroner's jury found u
verdict OF accidental death.
Young Otten's brother arrived here
Monday afternoon having driven from
Virginia City. The dead boy va supposed
to be in Mason Valley with a sister
until his falIily received notice Of his
death at this point. The body was
taken to Virginia City for burial.

The prevailing fault with amateur ir-
who have had experience, is the appli-
cation of too much water. An excessive
dilution OF the soil separates its particles
and produces an approach To Il morter
bed, that settles down tight when dry,
shutting ont the air causing evaporation
TO increase, and producing finally a hard
dry surface, crusted oyer which pinches
plants, causes them to turn yellow and
perhaps die. This method persisted in
for a few years will bring the richest soil
to a condition which will support no
vegetation more valuable than poverty
weed.
The Lovelock Tribune says: at is
welcome news that comes in regard to
the progress being made by Mr.. Hitch
cock in the promotion OF the Lovelock
iron mines enterprise. The Tribune has
been informed by a representative of the
railroad that all the iron land owned by
the Central Pacific railroad has been
purchased by Hitchcock. The sale was
effected in the past few weeks and 1t
means that the enterprise will go ahead.
There will almost necessarily be delays,
but Mr.. Hitchcock has a record for per-
severance and no doubt will succeed in
the present undertaking."
An exchange says: Learn to laugh.
A good laugh IL better than medicine.
Learn to tell u good story. A well told
story is welcome at all times. Learn to
keep your W troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your ills
and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking.
Ii you cannot see any good in the world
keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide
your aches and pains behind a pleasant
smile. No one cares whether you have
earache, headache, or rheumatism. Don't
cry. Tears do well enough in novels,
but they are out OF place in real life.
Learn to meet your friends with a pleas
ant smile. The good natured man or
woman is always welcome, but the dys-
peptic or hypochrondiac rs not wanted
anywhere, and is q nuisance az we'll.

Passing through Lowell the other day
with a companion well Informed gener-
ally / remarked: Here is the center
of the snuff-dipping habit in the United
States" He was astonished. Do you
mean to say snuff is used In Massachu-
settsY he asked. II thought 1t habit
confined to the Georgia crackers and
the poor whites of North Carolina"
then explained that in the State Of Mas
sachuset.s every year the mill hands
mostly women and young girls-use
sixty-five tons of snuff for dipping,
securing, chewing and pinching. The
powder Is sold in one-ounce tin cans,
which retail at 10 cents. Thus we have
100000 pounds, making 2,0S0,OOO pack
ages, which at 10 cents cost the opera
tives S2Os,O0O.
While we have always associated the
use Of snuff In this country with the
very dregs of humanity in the South,
let us glance at the city of Lawrence.
Mass, where are located such mills as
the Pacific, Atlanta, Cotton, Washing
ton, Everett, Pemberton, etc.; popula-
ton about $4,000. The mill girls are
French Canadians and Armenians,
with sprinkling Of Americans, Irish
and English. In summer, groups of
them, from 10 to 20 years of age, 60
across the river and sit for hours along
the banks INDUCING themselves with
the SNUFF and rag. They consume over
twenty tons of snuff annually. Law.
renee is only twenty miles from moral,
pure, holy Boston.-New York Press.

Of which little Is said? Some of these
novelties will be here described.
An entirely new feature Of warfare
rs likely to be an extensive use Of kites
for ph0tographlng an enemy's country,
forces and works; for signalling, and
for lifting and dropping upon an ene-

Kites. too. will lift great loads.
Either the Hargrave box kites or Eddy
kites could be used to lift fifty pounds
Of dynamite into the air with, slow
match attached. When the kites were
over the enemy (the direction OF the
wind and time required to bring the
Kite over the enemy being, of course,
factOrs). this match, burning out,
would set on fire a cord tying up the
box in which the dynamite was con-
tnined; and, the cord burning through,
the box would open and drop its load.
No human power could afford protec-
ton against the explosive dropped
from shove.
Since rifles with great power have
come into use. shelter for the attack
ing party is an absolute requirement,
and trees, houses or packed earth will
