WONDERFUL DACHSHUND.
A Little Incident That Gave MT. Coz zIeby & New Idea of Its Elastic
 Properties.

eOf course" said MT. ,Gozz1eby, to a New York Sun reporter, ''I had real ized in a general way that the dachs- hund is a very longbodied and short legged beast, but I find that I never fully and actually realized the dachs- hund's dimensions and proportions until this morning when saw one go up from a street pavement to the side walk. -+% = ''Truly for moment he grounded on the edge of the curbstone.

care of the loads of stuff formerly turned into headquarters.
 The habit. of trainmen to cry this warning has become so much of an institution that the freight agent of one of the roads entering Benton Har- Dor, Afich., says he was alone in his office one night when he heard called distinctly: ''Geneva! Geneva! Don't forget your parcels and umbrellas. : Following the sound he stopped at a box car that he knew was half filled with household goods and had been shipped from Geneva, III.
 "Got yer umbreller?" came from in side the car.

 Polly, he says, had evidently been living in Illinois, where such calls are the rule, and adopted the scheme to get out of captivity. ..~

PICCoLO MIDGETs.

This evening shortly before 10 o'clock the Piccolo Midgets will make their final appearance at the Jacques, and any who may not have seen them ishould not let the opportunity pass. As headliner to succeed the NIidgets inext week Manager Poli offers Frank
 Keenan and company in the comedi- Ietta. "The Two Rubies." Local show goers have pleasant recollectionss of MT Keenan for his appearances at PoIi's last season as the star of "Hon John Grigsby." He was for some years leading man for the Boston Mu-
 scum stock company and is excelled in light comedy roles by few actors on the American stage. This feature
 alone should be a rare one for the
 Jacques. but Manager Poli offers a Isecond one in Hayes and 'Henly, who
 will he remembered for their several
 engagements here with the Rays in
 "A Hot Old Time" With two such
 capital features the show at the
 Jacques ought ito be an exceptionally
 fine one. Prices are 10, 20 and 30
 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, la dies 10 cents.

Prof. R. T. Hill, geologist of the United States geological survey, has returned to Washington from a visit to New Mexico and Arizona on busi- ness for the government. l
 "In the matter of economical deve1- opment no part of the country can show greater prosperity Prof. Hill said this afternoon. Railroads are being built, the mines are fourishing, new iron, coal and copper mines are being opened and everything is on the boom. - --. .*. 1T @- 5! "El Paso, the capital of the south Wsetern desert, is experiencing a most phenomenal growth owing to the building of new railroads. Phelps Dodge has alone had completed re- gently 800 miles of track, over which to bring copper from his mines to the market. The Rock Island has had constructed GOO miles in eastern New Mexico.
 "One of the most remarkable fea- lures is the work of a copper company, in which many Washingtonians are, interested and which is 30 miles south of the Arizona line in Mexico. At Cananaea, where three years ago there was nothing, to-day there is town of 10000 inhabitants, and the mines arc producing so tons of metallic copper a day, the largest output in the world.
 "I have been going to the desert for 20 years at least once q year. Every time have seen it have thought that the limitations were reached. Each successive year have found it's growth more marvellous than ever. This prosperity comes almost exclu- siyely from the mining industry.
 1T found Arizona and New Mexico clamoring for statehood continued Prof. Hill, according to the Washing ton Star, land no reasonable man who travels through those communities can see tangible reason why the people should be denied the privilege. The American population is composed of perhaps the best class of people in the union. They are cosmopolitan people, who have demonstrated their superiority by the manner in which they have brought civilization into a country which the average man would look upon as almost worthless"

 Apparently it didn't worry the dog bit; no doubt he had had similar ex- periences before. He didn't even look back; he just pulled ahead gently, and in a moment he had himself clear once more; and, keeping oneahead, his hind- legs came along pretty soon to the curb and stepped up, and then his body was above the ground for the usual space and he went on in his usual placid manner.
 But that gave me new idea of the dachshund's length of body and his actual and relative length of leg, and I now look upon that wonderful dog with greater wonder than ever.'

HOW TO PREyENT GROUP,

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can be prevented. The first sign or croup is hoarseness. day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by g peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as. the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and it will dispe1 all symptoms of croup. Tn this way all danger and anxiety may be avoided.

A very little girl was aroused from her sleep few nights ago to go on a journey While she was dressing she slipped behind heavy window curtain to look out at the stars.
 .'Is it the middle of the night?" she asked.
 On being told that it was she said:
 ssThen that's it. When first looked out the stars were twinkling so I couldn't tell whether they were just coming out or just going away, but now know. They are just changing from yesterday to tovnorrow! "-N. Y. Times,

Reginald DeKoven, the eminent mus fcal composer and president of the American School Of Opera, is building the Lyric theater in New York city, and when finished will be the perma- nent home of the school, and the only one of its kind in America. So far the school has enjoyed an extraordi- nary season under the wise and able supervision of MT DeKoven and the well known baritone, William G. Stewart, who is at present singing the title role in F. c. Whitney's pro- duction of When Johnny Comes Marching Home,'' at the New York theater
 The faculty this year is made up of such well known names as Herman Perlet, musical director; William Barry, director of grand opera, George Paxton. director of light opera; Louis R. Senesac, instructor of fencing and Elise Saracco, instructor of pantomime and dancing.
 There is not q well known comic or grand opera organization in America to-day that cannot count one or two American School of Opera students among their principals.

The Piano Man Has Arrived.

Mr.. o. E. Pettis, Sherman, Clay &

Gardnerville with fine lot of pianos,
including the Estey, Emerson, Starr
and other reliable makes of pianos.
Also have on exhibition the wonderful
Angelus Orchestral Piano Player
With this wonderful invention any one
can play piano. Mr.. Pettis will re-
main but a few days. 1t will therefore
be of interest for those desiring to see
and hear this wonderful Angelus to
call. Mr.. Pettis is not stranger in
Gardnerville, as he sold many pianos
here two years ago, and will be glad to
receive a call from all of his old patrons
and make good any and all grievances,
should there be any, which we doubt
very much.

Water and Oil Prospects in Inyo.

Jesse Allen, who is boring a well for
the railroad company at the soda works
at Keller, Inyo county, Cal, writes to
his wife in Gardnerville that he has
obtained big flow of water. He is
using six-inch casing in the we'll and at
a depth of 1876 feet flow exceeding rs
gallons per minute was obtained. The
water is cold but not good, and boring
will be continued. The ground is very
hard and blasting is necessary.
Mr.. Allen says there is big volume
of gas coming out of the pipe. The
Superintendent touched match to it
and it blazed up Immediately. They
had to send for help to put out the fire.
An oil well in Inyo would create some
excitement, and the chances seem good
to secure a gusher of this variety.
AT last report Mr. Allen was waiting
the arrival of a new supply of pipe be-
fore continuing his operations.

Made a Turn in Tonop..l Stocks.

Some pretty turns have been made
in Tonopah stock. A case in point is
that of schoolmar1n of Philadelphia,
who, in almost a lifetime of economy
and self denial had managed to save
$4,000. While riding on street car
one day she found herself alone with
two well known Philadelphia capital
lists, who ignored her presence to the
extent of discussing the probabilities
of the new discovery at Tonopah and
what could be expected from the stock.
They expressed considerable conf
dence in it and discussed plans for get
ting control and making deals.
The schoolmarm yielded to the i'm
pulse of the moment, and before her
courage failed her, invested every cent
she had on the face of the earth in
Tonopah stock Immediately the stock
was delivered to her she was consumed
with fears and regrets for her reckless.

The Automobile Tahoe Trip.

The automobile trip to the Lake last
Sunday was thoroughly satisfactory to
all, considering the adverse conditions
under which the test was made. Up
to Strawberry, good time was made,
but when the higher attitudes were
reached, the gasoline was found TO be
of insufficient proofto steam the boiler.
The run back after securing higher
grade gasoline at Tallac, was made in
p hours in actual running time. but
the boiler was found to be too small for
the long steep grade on the other side
of the summit. The auto on reaching
the summit, sped along at the rate of
10 miles an hour-the steam then run
ming down would necessitate stop of
ten or fifteen minutes. The Mobile
Co. is now having 12-passenger boiler
installed, to enable them to climb the
long and heavy grades without any
stops. The agreement with Mr.. Green
and the Mobile Co. is that they must
make the distance to the Lake the
route selected being "a miles-in six
hours actual running time. The stops
along the route not to exceed two
hours, unless otherwise agreed by all
the passengers. The next trip will be
made early next week when the above
improvements are made. -PldcerUill
