The Boys Brigade social, given under
the auspices Of the Y. W. G. T. U. was
a most successful event and the senti-
ment seems unanimous among those
who attended that IL was among the
most enjoyable socisls which have ever
been given in the city. There was a
large attendance.
A very entertaining program had been
prepared. Piano solos were given by
Misses Ethel Palmer, Adelia Har,h aud
Laura Parker, their selections being
rendered in the most pleasing manner.
These young ladies are among our best
talented musicians and are always sure
Of the appreciation Of their audiences.
Miss Edna Parker favored the company
with a recitation. Her talent in this
direction is Of the highest order and her
selection was greatly appreciated.
The boys Of the brigade furnished
perhaps the most pleasing feature Of the
program by drill. The perfect manner
in which they performed the various
evolutions was a pleasing surprise to
nearly every one present aud the boys
covered themselves with glory. Ralph
Berry advanced his already we'll
established reputation as baton twirler
Of ability, his performance in this line
being decidedly brilliant. Elmer Wertz
ofIiciated as bugIer in an admirable
manner.
After the program refreshments were
served, then the company entertained
themselves with games and other social
amusements until the hour arrived for
dispensing.
The object Of the social was to ad.
vance the interests Of the Boys Brigade,
aud il has awakened more general
interest in that organization, and a
better appreciation Of its possibility Of
good results, both present and future.
The boys receive an appreciable benefit
from the drills and the qualifications
for membership are such as to place the
qualities Of good citizenship at a pre-
MUM in the minds Of the boys.

State Control Of Waters.

Article l, Section 81, Constitution of
Wyoming. reads as follows: Water being
essential to industrial prosperity, of lin
tied amount, and easy Of diversion from
its natural channels. its control must be
in the State, which, in providing for its
use, shall equally guard all the interests
involved. Article VIII, Section !, reads:
The water Of all natural streams, springs,
lakes or other collections of still water,
within the boundaries of the State are
hereby declared to be the property OF
the State.
Nevada must sooner or later begin the
consideration OF such amendments to
our constitution. When it is considered
that Wyoming has the most perfect sys-
tenn of water laws in the world it is well
worth our while to give their system an
intelligent study with a view to adopting
it in this State.-Journal.

BATTLE MOUNTAIN.


10 saying a few words for the town of
Battle Mountain it can be plainly seen
that times are much livelier than they
have been for a long time past. 1t is
the center Of an extensive and prosper
Gus mining and agricultural point and
the outlook indicates that it will soon be-
come the principal town Of Lander
county. Most all the small mining dis
tricts get their supplies from this town.
and, II according to reports. nothing Of
much Importance has been done il the
mining field around here to what is in
store for US, which is bound to come
sooner or later and which will materially
increase the business of the town.
Our population is increasing and there
is not a vacant house in the town. For
the past year much building has been
going on and at the present time there is
no abatement with several more new res
licences to be erected in the Sc of a
short time.
Our business people seem to be doing
a good business as nc complaints are
heard on either side and from the inter-
est that is being manifested by our peo-
pie in improving and identifying their
homes and places Of business it goes to
show that they look to the bright side
that is in store for the future of our
town.
The town is well supplied with arte-
sian water, which flows from wells from
$50 to 500 feet deep. This water is used
for irrigating as well as domestic
purposes, and trees and shrubs flourish
and vegetables and grasses are produced
on what was naturally an arid plain, too
dry to produce wen sagebrush. There
are several enterprising citizens in the
place, and IL they do not succeed in max
ing it a good lively town it will not be
their fault.

To A. M. Cole, Druggist, Virginia
City: The Trib which we bought a
month ago has been used in "a sta
bles under the direct supervision OF
our surgeon on a large number OF
cases. In all cases where a IMMINENT is
required it does the work we'll. If it
be as its label claims, "a gift to hui
manity,' it is surely a boon to the

The above was dated in June, 1896.
Messrs. Broth & Morgan say that

the good opinion first formed OF Trib.
Here is Mr.. MONEYS testimony:
"To Trib Company: During a life
time spent in the livery business |
have used many liniments. l first
used Trib on the sprained ankle of a
horse. 1t helped the horse right away
and in ten days he was at work sound
in limb. l have used it on many
other animals, have been using it ever
since, and keep it on hand all the
time. 1t is a fine linimena. / like it
better than any l ever used before.
