County Hospital at Virginia
Destroyed by Fire.

The county hospital at Virginia was
destroyed by fire early Saturday morn
ing. There were thirly-five inmates all
oil whom were rescued with the excep
ton of John Richardson. who was found
in the ruins later in the day. Several of
the inmates were feeble minded and it
was with the greatest difficulty that
they were saved as they persisted in re-
turning into the burning building after
they were taken out. The man who
was burned to death was seen on the
outside, but it is supposed that he re-
turned to save some treasured article.
After the flames were discovered there
was an explosion which scattered the
fire through the building and prostrated
several OF the inmates on the outside.

qualified success from every standpoint.
Every one was there, and it was so
soon after Easter, that the ladies' new
gowns gave the house most animated
and pleasing appearance. The Orches-
ira filled in all the waits very accept
ably. The new curtain and footlights
gave the house quite citified appear

AS for the play itself, it was very in

strong situations. 1t was very effective

SHEEP SHEARlNG SEASON.
Outlook Good for the Farmers
and Stockmen.

Senator Warren Williams OF Church.
i'll county is in town today. He is
shearing 10000 sheep at Argenta. He
says that woolis low, but the outlook
for better prices in the future is good.
The low prices ruling at the present
time is owing to the fact that the cotton
crop was prolific and people have not
yet recovered sufficiently FROM the
Cleveland years of depression to buy
wooden goods. In the east wooden trusts
are being formed to keep the prices
down until the clip is bought up. Those
who hold, Mr.. Williams thinks, will get
much better prices.
Mutton is high, however, and what
the sheep men lack in the price received
for wool they make up in the price they
are getting for mutton. Mr.. Williams says
sheep are being sheared from Rye Patch
to Beowawe; Senator Ernst is clipping
about Is, 900 at Beowawe; J. A. Miller of
Austin 5000 at Beowawe; Geo. Watts,
5000 at the same place and George
Swails 1000 near Beowawe. Frank
Martin is sbearing 1000 head at his
ranch ten miles south Of Battle Noun
tain. Mr.. Martin is an enterprlsing
man of affairs and is boring with large
auger. Several smaller lots are being
sheared there but Mr.. Williams could
not give the names Mr.. Williams says
the outlook for business in Nevada was
never better. The farmers OF Churchill
county and the big meadows at Love
lock will harvest the biggest crops IN
years. Churchill has plenty Of water al
the Sink and every year a little more
ground is reclaimed and pat into alfalfa.
The Churchill county'farmers are nearly
out OF debt and promise to be at the
head of the possession within the mex,
decade. Churchill county has lot Of
progressive men, among them being j.
W. Freeman, who is now shearing 10000
fine sheep at his ranch at saltwater.
Jeffreys and Herman have just reclaim-
ed fine ranch thre3 miles from Still

A Rare Disease.

From the st. Louis GlObe-Democrat.
An autopsy on the remains Of the late
Mrs. Ross Funk, wife of George w. Funk
of Bloomington, Ill, revealed the fact that
she was the victim of myxoderma, one OF
the rarest diseases known TO the medical
world. Her case was diagnosed by several
eminent doctors as Justification of the It's
sues, but the autopsy showed that the
diagnosis was incorrect, though the symp-
toms indicated Justification, as certain pOr-
tiCns of her body had hardened almost to
the hardness Of bone. OF myXoderma only
twenty cases are on record. and 1t is be-
Heved that not more than 100 cases have
been found. There are occasional cases in
Switzerland, due TO operations for the re
moval of the thyroid gland in goitre. The
simultaneous tissues in the case of Mrs.
Funk had hardened, making the skin hard
and dry like bono.
