There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney X Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hun
dred dollars tor any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testi-
monials Address.

House Made Firepr0of.

a wooden house that would not
burn was put to the test in New
York the other day. The structure
had been treated with some prepare
ton that is warranted to render
wood fireproot, and the test tended
to bear out the claim. The expert
ment was conducted under the SUI
pervision of the New York board of
fire underwriters and the building
and fire departments of New York.
The building was two stories high,
with a large space beneath in which
fierce fire was set going. Some of
the visitors remained in the house
during the test, and suffered no in
convenience. The fire was said to be
strong enough to burn down any
ordinary building in New York, but
it did no harm to the prepared wood
beyond charring it little.

A PROLIFIC COUNTRY.
lyos Couaty Probably the Greatest Cattle
PredsclaQ Country In the World.

Predaclag Country In the Woei0'
There are probably few people
who have not heard or read about
the wonderful productiveness OF the
soil in Dakota, where it is said that
pumpkins grow to such an enor-
nous size that il il only necessary
to roll one out of the way and by
walling up the hole wherein it lay
you have good-sixed cellar for a
house And few there are who have
not read of the boy who fell from a
Nebraska cornstalk and broke his
neck while climbing after "rosten
ear" the stalk having grown 70 such
a great height while the boy was
climbing it that he could not slide
down as fast as the stalk grew up.
Even in Nevada the soil in some
places is so fertile that fence posts,
telegraph poles and railroad ties
have been known to sprout and
grow, but it has remained for Mason
Valley, this county, to show up the
most phenomenal increase in the ami
NAL kingdom ever heard of in the
world, and this is according to the
record. In the year 1899 our esteem
ed County Commissioner, George w.
Wilson, of the upper end OF Mason
Valley, possessed a band of cattle
numbered at $50 head according to
his statement made to the Assessor
that year fand we do not believe Mr..
Wilson would prevaricate). This
year the Assessment Roll shows
that Mr.. Wilson turned in something
over 500 head of cattle, although
current report says he sold nearly
800 head of cattle to an eastern buy
er last Spring. However, little
discrepancy of two or three hund-
red head is but trifle; it will not
materially effect the productive
part of our story, and the loss to the
county in taxes is a mere bagatelle,
and can be made up from other tax
payers when the Board of Equaliza-
ton meets, of which Mr.. Wilson is
Chairman. Besides, Mr.. Wilson
may be right as to the number OF
cattle he sold; he is a man of verac-
ity, is Chairman of the Board OF
Commissioners, and holding such an
honorable position among other hon
oral BILE men, is what makes US believe
he would not prevaricate for beef
or two Tor hundred or two) simply
for the sake of saving few dollars
in taxes, when he is so careful about
the county's finances in othes ways.
But this phenomenal increse holds
good whether he had and sold 500
or II head. An increase from $50 in
1899 to So7 in the Spring of 1900, is
over three to one provided each ami
NAL was a producer of its kind. AS
many were steers, it must therefore
be concluded that those built for
production were of the thriftiest
kind, and gave birth to twins, trip
let's and even itters. And this Is
why we are claiming that Lyon
County is the greatest country on
earth for prolihcness in the cattle
business. Now, if Mr.. Wilson
should discredit this story by stat
ing that the increase to his herd of
$50 cattle had come about by pur-
chase, almost everybody in the State
would believe him, would they not?

MISTAKES ON THE WIRE,
THE end

Errors Made by Telegraph Operators In
Transmitting Dispatches.
The funny mistakes of telegraphers
are as numerous as those charged up
to proof-readers. Two on the former
have just come IN. A gentleman who
has been an extensive traveller, and
consequently not supposed to overlook
any details, saw his wife off on train
for the slope the other day. It was
supposed that everything had been ar
ranged. The good-by and it's accom-
paniment had been passed and the gen.
tleman returned to his home. That
night his wife suddenly remembered
that she had left a valuable adjunct to
her happiness and wrote message to
her husband, which he received the
following morning at his office. thread:
"Forgot. Think conductor has tel
egraphed for it..
He read it again, and it read as at
first. Forgot what?" he murmured.
and he read it again and kept on read
ing it until the words ran together and
his temples throbbed. He sent mes
sage to his house asking the servants if
Mrs. - had left anything. They
made no discoveries, of course. Then
he sent message to the operator at
the Office from which his wife's mes
sage was sent asking him to repeat
it. He waited for an answer. He lost
his luncheon and his dinner waiting
He remained at his office until late at
night, and as he was about to leave
in despair he received an answer to his.
It read: ''Forgot trunk. Conductor has
telegraphed for it,"
Sure enough. The word trunk"
had been made to read ':think." But
wasn't 1t strange that man who had
Travelled all over the world should come
to his own home to forget to check his
wife's trunk? He laughed to himself,
| after it was all over. But it cost him
lots of worry.
Equally funny is this one:
A lady in this city had received let
ter from her old home in Connecticut
which caused her a good deal Of
trouble. Her answer to it was by wire.
When it was delivered in the Connec-
ticut home it read:
Flows the weather?'' ..... .-
What an exasperating query at such
| time! The letter referred to the
lady's mothers health. The dispatch
should have read: Flows mother?''
little different is this one: A gentle
man of this city sent his wife mes
sage from Washington March 4, 1898,
| prepaid and it has not been delivered
up to the present writing. The cor
respondence between the Chicago office
and the Washington and New York
offices about the transaction has accu-
mulated until the batch looks like the
