Word reached Winnemucca this
morning of brooding trouble in the
car shops at Wadsworth. The mach
inists there want either more pay, less
hours or both.
There is little danger of strike as
differences will probably be settled
without delay. The railroad company
cannot afford to have walkout, and
neither can the men, for they are saw
ing their money studiously because of
the removal of the shops in the near

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby des-
troying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
