The main facade will be 764 feet long, with center and end pavilions connected by colonnade of Ionic columns five feet in diameter and 45 feet high. The central build ing with the colonnade on each side will form portico Is feet wide and 524 feet long. The interior floor area will be 724 by 175 feet, entirely free of columns. The end parades will contain one central portico 250 feet long. The building will be of staff, a composition of plaster resembling stone, and the exterior will be white. A magnificent color scheme has been devised for tn interior. The gov ernment building will have an impos- ing site 50 feet about the principal eX- hibit palaces. A magnificent flight of steps 100 feet wide will lead up to the main portico. Ramps" or sloping paths, will furnish another means of reaching the building. Statuary will be freely used in adorning the build ing and it's approaches. The esti- mated cost of the government building is $350,000 and S50,Q0O more will be ex- pended on the Fisheries building, which will stand southwest from the main structure. The Fisheries build ing will be 135 feet square. The con- struction of the government build ings will begin soon. It is the policy of the government to open its build. ings and exhibits on time.

An imposing force of police and mu- nicipal guards preserved order.
 They split the crowd into small factions and prevented collisions with clericals who were attending a meet ing of protest in hall in the neigh borhood. Efforts of one or two an- archists to create trouble after the demonstration were speedily sup pressed.

Alcohol and vinegar are effective an
tidotes for carbolic acid poisoning, a
New York doctor announces. What
ever quantity of the poison has been
swallowed. four times as much whis-
ky or five times as much vinegar
should be administered Immediately.
No oil of any kind should be given.
'Thus treated early enough" he adds,
"all cases will recover"
That consumption does not run in
families, but does run in houses, is the
theory of Sir Richard Thorne, who adj
dressed the London Medical society re-
Gently. "Refuse to live on damp
subsoil," was his advice; until people
ceased to live under unfavorable cons
ditons, they need hope for little
diminution in the consumption death
rate. The improvement of sanitary
appliances had, in the last As years,
reduced that rate nearly so per cent.

For County Commissioner.

The office of County Commissioner
is one of the most important in the
gift of the people. 1t requires man
possessed of sound common sense
discretion, impartiality aud business
acumen. Such a man is Henry Ber-
lin, a popular rancher on Walker
river. He is a candidate for long
term Commissioner on the Fusion
ticket. Most of Mr.. Berlin's life has
been spent in this county, and by
industry and business tact has won
the admiration of his neighbors. If
elected the people can rest assured
that he will give to county affairs the
same attention and good judgment
that characterizes his private bust
ness transactions.
