Last Saturday evening the 4-year-
old daughter of w. w. Stephens, of
Sutro, died This makes the second
death in the family inside of two
weeks, from diphtheria. 1t is said,
however, that the death of Stella
May was due to heart failure, as
she was recovering from the diph-
iberia. The funeral of the little one
took place last Sunday, the remains
being buried in the Dayton ceme-

ly who were i'll are now recovering,
and Mr.. Stephens and wife have the
sympathy of large circle of friends.

A LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.

Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wifes mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

VIII Not Appeal.

John Lothrop, attorney for Lyon
county in the boundary line case,
received word from Major Huffaker,
attorney for Douglas county, that
no further action would be taken by
Douglas county in the matter, which

question about the boundary line
between Douglas and Lyon counties

DAYTON.
Our Town as Seen and Commented
Upon by an Outsider.

Our Town as seen and Commented
Upon by an Outsider.
Rev. Mr.. Riddle, of Elko, visited
Dayton last week and delivered
couple of entertaining temperance
lectures to appreciative audiences
in the Court House. Mr.. Riddle is
the proprietor of the Elko 1idings
and when he returned home he
gave Dayton the following nice lit
tie notice in his paper:
Dayton is the county seat of Lyon
county, situated on the Carson river
and only twelve miles from the State
Capital. 1t was once a large and
hourishing town, but the crime of
1873 perpetrated by the National
Congress, struck death blow to the
principal industry OF the place and
so about fifteen hundred Of its citi-
zens were driven to seek a home
somewhere else.
The inhabitants of Dayton are
almost to man silver men ia their
political faith and no one can blame
them for being so. They realize the
great evil of the money policy which
wellneigh destroyed their vigorous
and prosperous town. But Dayton
is not a bad place now. Indeed it is
very nice, and as prosperous as
most of the towns of the State.
There is some mining going on, in
and around the town and there are
many paying ranches near Dayton.
1t may be said that more potatoes
are shipped from Dayton and ad-
jacent country, than any other place
in Nevada and they are of a super
Tor quality. But the best thing one
can say about the town of Dayton
is that they have a splendid class
of people. We spent several days in
the place and we We're most favor
ably impressed with the intelligence
and goodness of the people. We did
not search for either good or bad,
but were told that there was scarcely
a bad or Objectionable family in the
town and we can quite easily be-
lieve this. 1t is certainl Y remark
able record, when we consider the
fact that they have no regular
Church service. But they sustain a
large Sunday School and have kept
it up, we believe, for twenty-five
years. There were eighty-one pres
ent the Sunday we were there. The
success of the Sunday school is due
largely to the faithfulness of J. l..
Campbell, who has been resident
of the town for more than thirty
years.
Dayton is also blessed with splen-
did schools. Prof. Monroe and Miss
Mack are the efficient teachers.
They take deep interest in the
young people and in all that relates
to their literary and social attain
ments. They have lot of very
bright young people and it is a
pleasure to see how we'll they work
together. Prof. Monroe is model
teacher in three ways. 1. In his
example. 2. In his government of
the school and, 3. In winning the

The Reason for Rotation.

From Farmers Review: There are
OF course many reasons assigned for
practicing a rotation of crops. but the
real reasons are very few. One i'm
2ortant object is to rid soil of disease
germs peculiar to certain crops. or
when infested with insect pests at
'racied by a particular crop. TO relieve
the damage by emitting that crop from
the system. Another object Is to bring
in a weed destroying clean cultivation

ever. and introduced mainly to guard
against. or TO remedy. some form OF
neglect or careless farming. The chief
object OF rotating crops is simply TO

WHY SOME PEOPLE ARE BLACK
II Is Claimed That Wearing Of Clothes
Affects the ComrlcsIon.

II Is Claimed That Wearing of Clothes
Affects the Completion.
Why are some races on this earth
darker-skinned than others? II Is not
altogether due to the heat OF the suns
rays. for many people of tropical
clImes are us light-hued as Europeans.
It has long been known that climate
alone is not sufficient to account for a
colored people. Dark skins are by no
means confined to the tropics: they are
to be found in races even beyond tho
temperate zone. This diversity, ac-
cording to a writer in one of the Amer
lean magazines. can only be accounted
for by considering the different modes
Of life that have acted for centuries
upon the various classes and castles OF
the country. The coolie who works in
the fields with strip OF cotton cloth
about his loins. is very dark: the mer-
chant and trader who never go abroad
without being thoroughly clothed are
many degrees fairer.
II is said that colony OF Jews on
the west coast OF India has been es-
tablished for nearly eighteen centuries.
but because they have not followed the
habits Of the people as regards cloth
ing they remain to this day a white
people. On the other hand, the Aryan
populations OF India and Persia, orig
inally fair people. by adopting the
customs Of those countries have be-
come In great measure colored race.
Accordingly. 1t is argued that the
steady march of nature is toward the
evolution Of fair people all over the
world The layer of dark pigment be-
meath the cuticle prevents the skin
from blistering. and when proper cloth
ing renders this safeguard unnecessary
nature dispenses with altogether. 1t
is also limited that color has something
to do with the mental and intellectual
conditions of people, but into these
questions the writer wisely forbears to
enter.
