 The case of Dr c. W. S. Frost against the city was down for hear ing in the district court to-day, but went over for re-assignment Attorney Kellogg, counsel for the city, not be- ing able to try it. This is the suit which the doctor entered some time ago to recover for his services during the smallpox epidemic last winter, and for which the city refused to pay, his biE, about $2,Oo0, being considered abnormal. Attorney Bronson, counsel for some of the heirs of the late William Dick, who lived on the Watertown road and left an estate of about $6,300, had the administrator, Richard Dick, file an additional bond of $1,000 to-day. The reason for the increase of the bond was that the estate was found to be larger than it was at first supposed to | be.

They think that the clerks are asking too much. On the other hand. some dealers do not think that the clerks are asking anything very unreasonable. It is said that the Apothecaries' HaN Go has agreed to the proposition of the drug clerks The drug clerks maintain that they are not asking for anything unreasonable and that 65 hours a week are enough for any person.

DR.. and Mrs. McMullin Leave.

The people of Gardnerville will re-
greet very much the departure of DIR.
and Mrs. Smith McMullin for Noun
tain View, Cal, where they expect to
make their future home.
In the departure of DIR. McMullin
Douglas county loses its leading ply
stefan and Nevada one of it's foremost
practitioners.
DR.. McMullin came to Gardnerville
a stranger to all, and by his geniality,
his uniform kindness and considera-
ton, his amiable qualities as a gentle.
man, and his almost phenomenal sue
cess as a physician, soon won his way
to the hearts of our citizens.
Mrs. McMullin is daughter Of Car
son Valley and all need say of her is
that she is all that woman, wife
and mother should be. Truly it may
be said of her
None know her but TO love her,
Nor name her but to praise.
DIR. and Mrs. McMullin leave only
friends whose sighs of regret at their
departure are mingled with the hope
that the people of their new home VIII
receive them with that warmth and
cordiality they so justly deserve.
A FRIEND.

in fine style. There was a big parade
on Main street Saturday afternoon of
the officers and members of the various
lodges, headed by the Gardnerville
Band, after which an interesting mus
ieal program was rendered in the NJ. E.
Church, and several interesting adj
dresses were delivered. The attend
ance was large.
The dance in the evening at Valhalla
hall drew out tremendous crowd. A
large number of Carson people were
present and the music and supper were
excellent. VIII Day, Prof Hendricks,
Miss Sweetland and Samuel Platt of
Carson furnished the mnsic.

The School Election.

In 1897, the Legislature passed law
specially for the election of the school
trustees for the several school districts
in this State. Said law provides that
the election shall be held on the fourth
Monday in May Of every year proceed
ing the general election. The object
of that law was to take the election of
School Trustees out of politics. The
legislators believed that if the election
was called specially for that purpose,
the election would result in more ben
eft to the public schools. 1t certainly
was wise step in the advancement Of
educational principles.
1t is the duty of the school trustees
of the several districts, ten days before
the fourth Monday in May next, to
post notices in three public places in
the district, notifying the people of the
day of election. If they fail to do that,
then any three electors of the district,
five days before the day of election,
may post said notices, which notices
will be sufficient for the purpose Of the
election.
No person is allowed to vote at said
election unless his name is on the reg
lister of the election precinct; provided,
that any citizen of the United States,
who has been in this State six months,
au1 in tba c0booI Iicf1.iot tIi,.txy daxro
preceding the day of election, may
apply to the Clerk of the Board of
School Trustees not more than eight
nor less than five days prior to the day
of election and have his name regis
tered.

Literary Conee Topers.

The roll Of literary men who have
been passionately fond of that
Coffee, which makes the politician wise
And see all things through his half shut
eyes,
is decidedly shorter than that of the
illustrious tea tipplers, although today
perhaps the difference is fast disap-
pearing. Voltaire, the king of wits and
litterateurs, was the king, too. of coffee
drinkers. In his old age he took fifty
cups a day. which sadly hurt his diges-
ton and FASTENED his death. The alb
stemious Balzac was fond of the same
drink, stimulating himself with it from
midnight, when he began his literary
work, till daybreak. when, starved and
self forgetful, he would find himself
bareheaded and in dressing gown and
slippers, in the Place du Carrousel, ig-
norant how he came there and miles
from home.-Beverage

Agent for the Mutual Life.

A. G. Spencer, special agent for the
State of Nevada of the Mutual Life In
s rance Co. of New York, arrived in
Grdnerville Wednesday. Mr. Spencer
h IS been coming here since 1895, is
well known to our people as a reliable
an affable gentleman, and always does

The Mutual Life Insurance Company
Of New York, the company that Mr..
Spencer represents, is the largest of its
kind in the world and has been in bus
mess since 1913, during which time it
has paid to policy holders over Five
hundred and Seventy Million Dollars.
It's present assets are over Three
Hundred and Fifty-two Million Dol
lars, which is over Twenty-one Million
Dollars more than those of the next
largest company.
The Mutual Life recently paid to the
estate of Mr.. Frank H. Peavey, a prom
inent business man of Minneapolis,
M m, the enormous sum of One Mil
lion Dollars on policy held on his
life.
Mr.. Peavey's death occurred on the
30Sh of last December and the policy
was paid in full ON January 10th, fol-
lowing, which shows the promptness
with which the Mutual Life pays it's
losses.

come the records in this court.
In the cases of II. F. Dangberg vs..
L. Ruhenstroth and Geo. F. Dangberg
Va. J.. Ruhenstroth, defendants de-
murrer was argued by counsel and
taken under advisement by the Court.
In the case of Drusilla Whitaker va.
o. r. Whitaker, an action for a divorce,
it was ordered that service of summons
be made by publication.
August Packmeyer and Herman F.
Petersen made application and were
admitted TO citizenship.
The case of I. w. Anderson vs. P. c.
Wilder Il Co., for property and DAM
ages amounting TO $3,0l9.5O, was tried
before the Judge and Judgment given
The plaintiff for the sum of $1s8.53 and
a small portion of the property which
remains unsold The plaintiff has to
pay the costs, amounting to S106.15.
la defendants answer to the complaint
of the plaintiff in this case it was adj
mitted that the defendant owed the
plaintiff $l62.98. Thus it appears that

Now is Your Chance.

Al Karge and A. G. Pratt are in town
with what is left of the working stock
Of the POGO TEMPO NJ. & M. Co.
The company now owns the Briggs
mines near Alkali Lake, only twenty
miles from the new smelter.
There is great scarcity of lead ores.
The Selby and the Salt Lake smelters
are obliged to keep agents travelling
continually in search of that class ores
and offer big inducements to lead
mines to secure their product. Our To-
cal smelter may find the same difficult
ity as lead mines in this section have
never received much attention on ac-
count of the excessive charges for
transportation.
Now we are to have what promises
to be one of the best lead mines ever
discovered in the State, almost in sight
of the smelter and no time should be
wasted in getting it open and the prod
uct ready for reduction.
Briefly stated, the POGO TEMPO Co
have two large veins, each from IL to
20 feet wide, that carry from $40 to 500
per ton value in gold, silver and lead
at present prices. Twenty to forty
tons of the ore can be concentrated in
to one ton of concentrations, worth
$500 to $500, at an expense of 81 per ton,
thereby saving freight and smelling
charges on 10 to 80 tons ofquartz which
has no value and is not desired at the
smelter as the majority of other ores
carry high percentage of this material.
Messrs Pratt and Karge are pre-
pared to furnish all the information
wanted concerning the mines and the
ores. The stock is being sold at %
cents per share.

The Angler Fish.

A fishing smack had lately a strange
catch off the Eddystone lighthouse. 1t
was an enormous specimen of that rare
and curious sea monster the angler
fish. 1t measured feet 3 inches long
and 8 feet inches broad. The ca
pacity of these fish for devouring
large quantities of food is something
marvellous, but the peculiar thing is
that they change the usual order of
things, for instead of the bird catching
the fish, in this instance the fish
catches the bird and makes a meal Of
him. Guillemots, seagulls and ducks
have been discovered in the stomachs
of these gluttons of the deep.
