Whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our
baby boy being only three months old,
and owing to our giving them CHAM
berlain's Cough Remedy, they lost
none of their plumpness and came out
in much better health than other
children whose parents did not use
this remedy. Our oldest little girl
would call Justify for cough syrup be-
tween whoops.-Jessie Pinkey Hall

Quick Sand Delays
Work.

The contractors are having consider
able trouble running the tunnel between
Moleen and Carlin. Good progress was
made with the header at the west end OF
the tunnel for about 800 feet, when a
seam Of quicksand about two feet wide
was struck. The sand came down from
abo,e and up from below faster than il
could be shoveled out. Az result work
on the tunnel has been stopped for the
present. The report is that the con
tractors are very gloomy over the con
dltion of affairs at thh tunnel lnde

A Rich Mining
Center.

Naturally the center of Nevada and
the outlet for wonderfully rich mining
country Battle Mountain will become by
the building of the Nevada Midland
railroad the commercial center of Nevada.
Not alone does Tonopah and Ray offer a
sufficient inducement for this road but
all Lander county and Nye are a nest Of
mining bonanzas which will astonish the
world. The freight and traffic of COM
merce, the ores must be transported and
Battle Mountain and Central Nevada
will receive the benefit Of such traffic
1t is not unlikely that capital will build
at Battle Mountain vast smelling plant
to work the ores adjacent to Battle
Mountain. Battle Mountain is to-day
one of the most inviting sections in Ne
vada and while she has always been a
substantial town she will now leap 20 the
front as commercial city of Importance.
Central Nevada extends to Salt Lake
her greetings and good wishes. 1t has
been Salt Lake, Denver and Philadel-
phia that has lifted Nevada from her
obscurity. California always greedy to
claim honors, has done little else than
enrich herself at Nevada's expense, and
Tonopah might have been a bowling wild
erness. When it comes to legitimate
mining Salt Lake and Denver are our
friends, and when it comes to wildcats,
California is TO the front.-The Nevada
Miner.

the Chicago Tribune: The O'Conor
Don, who was to have borne the stand
ard Of Ireland at the coronation of
King Edward day before yesterday,
is the head of one of the most ancient
houses of the Emerald Isle and lord
lieutenant of the county Of Roscom-

Don" appended to his patronymic is
not a surname but title, concerning
the origin of which there is some dis
pute but which is evidently derived
from some Spanish ancestor. the family
name being O'Conor. The pronoun
"the" prefXed to the name of O'Con6r
signifies that the bearer thereof is the
principal representative of one of the
houses that in olden times exercised
sovereign sway over tie Emerald Isle.
There are many people in Ireland who
claim the right to this prefix, and who
coolly adopt it without shadow OF
right thereto. But among those whose
title is unquestioned arc the MacDer-
mot, the AlacGillicuddy, the O'Dono-
ghue, the O'Conor Don, the Knight of
Kerry. and Lord Inchiquin, who is far
better known among his countrymen
as 1.-The O'Brien'' than as Lord Inchi-

A GOOD MAN FOR GOVERNOR

The Democracy of Minnesota In
state convention assembled, nominated
Hon. Leonard A. Rosing, of Cannon
Falls, for governor by reclamation. In
view of the fact that John Lind had
publicly announced a few days previ-
ously that under no consideration
would he be a candidate for state eX-
ecutive, and that if given the nominal
ton by the party it was his "irrevoc-
able determination" not to accept it,
the Democracy could not have done
better than to give it to his trusty
lieutenant. l.. a. Rosing, who had act
cd as his private secretary during his
term of office and had demonstrated
his political sagacity as chairman of
the Democratic state cenlsl committee
for several years. The mantle Of John
Lind has appropriately fallen on the
shoulders of l.. \. Rosing and makes
him the logical candidate for governor
of this great commonwealth.
NJ reformer in the North Star state
has Il wider acquaintance among the
people. nor is there a man who has a
more intimate knowledge of what the
people need. He is man in the prime
Of life and well equipped to make a
vigorous campaign. He has earned the
honor bestowed on him by the party
ard he is sure of receiving the loyal
support of the reform forces of the
state.

He tried to prevent the adoption OF
the income tax provision; he refused
to sign the only tariff reform measure
passed since the war, and while thun-

Ellis administration, instead Ct being
fountain of democracy sending forth
pure and refreshing streams. became
stagnant pool from whose waters
foul vapors arose-poisonous to those
who fingered near.
Having debauchcd his party, he was
offended by it's effort to reform, and
gave comfort to the enemy. Virginius
killed his daughter to save her chasti-
ty; Cleveland stabbed his party to pre-
vent its return to the paths of virtue.
And now, still gloating over his po-
litical enemies, he invites the party to
return to him and apologize for the
contempt which it has expressed for
him. Will it? Not until the principles
of Jefferson are forgotten and the
words of jackson cease to inspire"
We desire harmony among Demo-
Gratis but have no confidence whatever
in the fat man from Buffalo who has
long since fallen into ''innocuous de-
suetude." In the words of the late
Ignatius Donnelly, we look upon Grow
err Cleveland as "a platitudinous hum
bug" who has forfeited the respect Of
every honest Democrat in the land.
The less David b. Hill lauds him the
better it will be for him if he has any
aspirations for the presidency To all
intents and purposes Grover Cleveland
is plutocrat who has no sympathy
with the plain, common people whose
votes sent him twice to the White
House. His days of usefulness in Dem

us of the bogus Lafayette motto: "lf
