An Excellent Show.

Pawnee Bills Wild West Show
pitched its tents on the east side
Thursday, and all day the grounds
were swarmed with eager spectators.
Both afternoon and evening perform
ances were largely attended, and all
were thoroughly pleased with the ex-
hibition. All the different phases Of
frontier life were portrayed in real
istic and thrilling manner, and for
an exhibition of its kind it is the best
that ever visited here. The daring
riding and feats of horsemanship ex-
hibited by bands of Indians, cowboys
and Mexicans was of a high order,
and filed the hearts of all with admi-
ration. The boomerang throwing by
the Australian bushmen was novel
feature and deserving of special COM
mendation. In short the entire per-
Torrance from start to finish was ex-
celient, and held the closest attention
of the large PittsbTg
Dispatch.

Whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience with
this disease, tells how to prevent any dan
gerous consequences from it. She says:
Our three children took whoopiDg cough
last summer, our baby boy being only
three months old, and owing to our Civ
ing them Chamberlain'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,
Springville, Ala. This Remedy is for

LAYING Rails OF New Line.

1t is now stated that the Southern Pa
cifc will be running trains over the new
grade between Browns and Reno by the
first OF September. ]. is expected that
most of the grading will be completed by
the first of July, the time called for by the
contracts. But after that it will take some
time to lay the rails and ballast the road.
In fact, it is the ballasting that will re-
quire the time. The rails are being laid
almost as fast as the grading is done. A
week ago twenty-six miles of the rails
had been laid east of Wadsworth.
The heaviest work on the line is the cut
through Browns hill. This is ninety feet
deep and about twelve hundred feet long.
Two steam shovels are at work on the ex-
cavation and good progress is being made,
1t will be ready for the track layers to go
through In July. The rails and ties have
been piled up at Browns awaiting the
completion Of this c~ut.-Lovelock Tribune.

Bills We're Rejected,

The Boar of County Commissioners
met in regular monthly session today. This
forenoon claims against the county were
passed upon. The Commissioners rejected
the bills of ex-Justice of the Peace Young
of Lovelock for fees in cases he has tried
since a successor was appointed at the
last meeting of the Board. 1t is presumed
that the ex-Justice will bring suit against
the Commissioners to compel them to allow
his bills and the courts will decide
whether he or b. C. Maris, whom the
Board appointed. is entitled to hold the
office. The Lovelock Tribune the apollo
gist and defender of the ex-Justice, an
nounces the course he will pursue as fol
lows:
1.-The acts of Judge Young performed
this month will undoubtedly be held to
be legal. But the point will be determined
judicially next Monday when the Board
of County Commissioners meets. Judge
Young's bill of costs will be presented. If
the Board refuses to allow 1t then 1t viii
be mandamused n the case brought be-
fore the District Court"
