FINE POULTRY
S. j. Anderson Has Met With
Success in Raising Fine
Chickens

1t pays to keep chickens. and in
getting a start in poultry. as in every
thing else. it pays to buy the best
stock and go into the business on
business principles. This has been
the experience of everyone who has
raised poultry for profit, and local
fanciers all agree that this is as true
in regard to Winnemucca as to any
other locality. The breed of fowls
best adapted to this section it would
be hard to designate; perhaps any CT
the standard breeds would do as well
as any other, and therefore the be-
ginner can with safety be guided by
his individual preference.
The success that has attended S. j.
Anderson's venture into the poultry
business may be cited as an example,
and is proof that there is money as
well as pleasure in the industry. He

Mr.. Riley's Injuries

a telephone message from the Sill
ver States Paradise correspondent
this morning at o'clock stated that
Seymour Riley, who was injured Tues
day, his horse which he was leading
jerking him from the rear of the
wagon and jumping upon him, was
resting well this morning, and that DIR.
8ice pronounced his injuries to be OF
a painful, but not dangerous nature.
The bruises made by the horses
hoofs were about the back and shoul-
ders, Mr.. Riley having apparently fal-
len upon his face. 1t is not thought
the injuries are internal, and he will
doubtless soon recover from the un-
peasant experience.
The correspondent also stated that
Mrs. r. H. Schwartz had been qui e
sick, suffering from an acute attack
Of neuralgia. She was reported this
morning as considerably better, and II
5 thought is in no danger.

May Lose Rev. Edison

The Methodists of the city are view
ing with some uneasiness the pres.
pect of losing their pastor, Rev. Edson,
and in case he is sent to another point
next year, their regret will be shared
by everybody here. He will leave
next week to attend conference, and,
of course. has no idea as to where
he will be stationed for the coming
year. Last Sunday he announced that
on next Sunday he would preach his
farewell sermon" this being the GUS
tom of Methodist ministers on the
Sunday preceding the confe. ence. 1t
is hoped that in this instance it will
prove to be matter of form, and that
the worthy pastors many friends and
admirers will have the pleasure of lis
tening to many of his sermons in tne
near future.
From entirely outside sources the
Silver State learns that the church at
Reno, whose present pastor is desirous
of being transferred to another state,
Is making a strenuous effort to have
Rev. Edison sent there next year.
There is no doubt that Reno needs

road Men

late dispatch from Denver to the
Salt Lake Tribune says: Denver rail-
! road men are speculating on a report
ed deal between d. H. Moffat and
George J. Gould. According to re-
ports there will be an interchange CT
traffic between the Moffat and the
Denver e Rio Grande railroads; cut
offs by each road and use of each
others tracks.
These pans, according to last ev-
.nings issue of the Post. include:
Construction by the Denver & Rio

The Moffat road to Lave it's own
terminals in Denver. but use of the
Rio Grande Union depot tracks.
Mr.. Moffat when asked tonight re-
garding the accuracy of these reports,
said he was tired of denying the many
reports which have been published in
the newspapers ever since he project

 Miss Mary Halpin complained to Cap tain Brewer of the Grand avenue pre- cinct yesterday morning that some one had entered her bed room and robbed her of a gold watch and chain, a. gold 1ocket and chain, and $17 in money. The total value of the things stolen amount- ed about $75. Captain Brewer dispatched Officer Lawler to the scene and ques- toned Miss Halpin, who thought that the things had been stolen by a girl whom she had suspected Upon inqui- ries made by the officer the girl was cleared of suspicion and the officer found reason to believe that the rob- bery had been done by William Cos grove, nineteen years old. who lives in the upper part of the house, with his relatives. Officer Lawlor took Cos grove to the station house where he was subjected to an examination by Captain Brewer. Cosgrove finally con- fessed to having stolen the articles and said that he had gained an entrance through the back kitchen window. Get ting into the bed room he found the jewelry on the bureau, and after thor oughly ransacking the rooms he made his escape. He stated to Captain Brew CT that he had buried the jewelry in the cellar of the house and that instead of s17 there had been only $15 and this he had given to friend to keep for him
 Captain Brewer then sent Officer Law Tor back with the boy to recover the stolen goods After digging in the spot pointed out by the youth Officer Lawlor found the jewelry! Cosgrove then took him to the boy to whom he had intrust- ed the money and twas turned over to the officer also Miss Halpin is em- ployed in one of the large stores as q bookkeeper Young Cosgrove's case will come up in the city court this morning.

pair of powerful field glasses. and as he goes about town in his buggy he in spects tall structures as the fancy Seizes him.
 He is not always guided by fancy. however, for he. is. a practical builder. He does not rely on the glasses to show him any flaws save such as would ap- pear on the surface, but 1t is surprising how much he has been able to learn in the last week or so.
 One morning he trained the glasses on big building as he stood by win dow in his private office. He was star tied by what he saw.
 Sweeping the glasses from the top story to the ground, he came at last upon a whole series of windows, about the middle of the front, whose sills and lintels were badly crecked. Great ir- regular lines ran through the blocks of broWnstone, and in some instances there were logged, stair-like lines for some few feet along the surface of the brick work on either side of both sill and lintel These flaws prevailed in and around every window in this series, but nowhere else in the front. Some- thing inside, something in the construc- tion, had settled or was giving away.
 What did I dor" said Superinten- dent Miller. Why, sent for the su- perintendent of the building ot once I knew that if could get him to look through my glass 1t would accomplish more than could do through the ordi- nary channels of letter writing, the for nal serving of notices, &c., if took a month. The argument that glass pre- scented was incontrovertible.
 '.The superintendent came. I handed him the glass and told him where to look, and said nothing more. In about ten seconds he put the glass down. He was white. I don't think it was fifteen minutes before they were snoring up the worst window, on the / third floor, and they have been hard at work ever since
 "The whole business will be fixer up properly long before I could have got the owners of the building to move had I made use of the stereotyped system for doing such things.''
 The same week he drew bead on the spire of the Church of the Redeemer, a Uniyersalist house of worship in New ark. Being a builder, he knew where to look for weakness, and he dropped his glass on the right spot almost at once.
 It was the point where the wooden spire joins the masonry base, It was badly rotted away. A hard blow might have toppled the big spire over. The church authorities, when informed of what the superintendent had discov- cred, promised to take immediate ac- tion.--New York Sun.
