Mr.. Haines writes from Genoa that
he made mistake as to the price of
shingles. Shingles have advanced in
price lately and Mr.. Haines was not
aware of it last week. He will sell his
shingles at $3.50 per thousand.
The demand for horses for cavalry
service has cleaned out the ranges in
this State and has increased the price
$50 per cent. Local livery men who
have visited adjacent counties in quest
of horses to restock their stables, find
none suitable for their purpose for sale.

rancher of Sweetwater, died at the
Pacific Hospital in San Francisco last

had been afflicted for the past year.
He was native of Ireland, aged about
so years and leaves widow and four

Evidence accumulates that there is
no smallpox at Blue Lakes. The man
who was said to be down with the dis
ease was in Gardnerville yesterday.
1t is said that the smallpox scare, so far
as il relates to the Blue Lakes, was
started to injure the Standard Electric
Company by men who have left the
company's employ.
Edward Polhemus of Sacramento,

Hon. E. S. Harrington, of Elko, WIS.,
tied Douglas county last Sunday. 1t
has been generally understood for
some time that Mr. Harrington would
be a candidate for the Republican Con-
gressional nomination this fall. He
stands high in the estimation of the
Republicans of Nevada and is almost
certain to be nominated. His home
paper, the Elko Free Press, says he
will get rs per cent of the votes in
Elko county, regardless of politics.
H. b. Beers Of Genoa has ordered a
stock of lightning rods from the east
and will soon be prepared to put up
rods for all who desire them. Thirty
or forty years ago severe electric storms
were seldom seen in this State, but of
late years the climate seems to be
changing rapidly, and it is probable
that the lightning rod will soon be re-
garded as a necessity in Nevada and
appear on every building as it does in
all the States east of the Rocky noun
tains.
The COURIER is little disappointed
that the Republican State Convention
will not be held at Reno. The date of
the convention corresponds with the
date of the NJ. L. Conference, but the
latter will convene in Reno while the
former will shake the earth and sur
prise the birds and grasshoppers on
MI IdNidSOn. I1OWCNCl, bhC ClCStAlc
power plant will then be completed
and perhaps enough of the Gospel of
Jesus can be transmitted from the
Riverside burg to the city on the noun
tain to knock some of the ungodliness
out of the convention.
When the state of the atmosphere
changes, the crop undoubtedly follows
in the same direction; that's the way
with our crop, and that means also
price and quality. We are endeavor-
ing to give you all kinds of Nevada
vegetables at low rates. New potatoes
in fine shape, green peas abundant and
beans coming in big supply. In fact,
everything in our line is in excellent
condition, and you will run no risk to
select from our wagon, or order by
mail, which will be attended to prompt
ly and with utmost care.
