Railroads Expect Great nusIne,s.

CHICAGO. July 2s.--In the opinion
Of well-posted traffic officials all lines
Of business could not be in a much
more healthy condition. Naturally,
attention is concentrated upon west
ern territory. particularly that in
which the great crop growing areas
which serve ~ guide for future bu-
sincss operations. Careful investiga.
tion has failed to disclose anything
in the prospective conditions which
justify anxiety in New Yorks IMAM
cial district. In the northwest rail.
road men are equally optimistic and
fully as confident that not only is the
crop outlook encouraging, but the indi.
cations point to a greater volume Of
traffic for the railroads than was a.
s'lrei one year ago.

hsH ERoland Tobacco Crop short.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, July 28.-Fron,
reports received here the outlook for
the Connecticut tobacco crop this year
is discouraging. The weather has
made the crop backward and in
some sections Of the state the yield
will not exceed 80 per cent. Of the
normal harvest.
The prevailing opinion among the
tobacco growers is that the success
OF the shade grown leaf Is far from
having been demonstrated. Many
small growers who had part or the
whole Of their tobacco under cover
last year devoted their attention this
year to open field tobocco. Some
Of the big growers. however, have in
creased their shade grown acreage.

Trying to Get Away

editor of The Optic, administered q
richly merited thrashing to the indi-
vidual who has been responsible for
the contemplate. slanderous sheet
known as the Advertiser.
For weeks the Individual has
been venting his miserable spleen
in the lowest form Of Billingsgate at
the members Of The Optic stan. He
has repeatedly assailed the character
Of the most responsible and best citi-
zens Of Las Vegas. He has attacked
the leading business men and has at
tempted in his ignorant and illiterate
way to ridicule even those things that
all decent people hold sacred.
In spite Of all this, the
fellow has simply been treated
as beneath contempt. Not until, In
his impotent rage at being unable to
win for himself any Of the notoriety
that he craved by being noticed by de-
cent people, he dared to invade the
sacred privacy Of the family was he
thought deserving even Of thrashing.
Not SO long ago he attempted to be-
smirch the name OF an honorable wo-
man. The fellow Ned in terror
from those prompt to avenge such
indecency. Again he grew bold enough
to sneer at members OF the sex whom
all chivalrous men say shall be i'm.
mune from the attacks of the low
scoundrels, Who sometimes creep Into
mems clotAiig 10 curse communities.
Men viii endure any amount Of
personal abuse to avoid difiiculties, and
treat It as 1t deserves. as beneath con.
tempt. But not word of insult will
any gentleman or any man brook
against q woman.
A hundred people who are familiar
with the true provocation and have
expressed themselves on the subject
since the affair say the only regret Is
that the thrashing wasn't more severe.
Mr.. McNary. accompanied by L. r..
Allen, business manager Of The Optic,
was walking along Sixth street when
he met Lyon in front Of
the store of Fox & Harris. Mr..
McNarry grabbed him by the arms,
Mr.. Allen put his arms about his
hips to see If he had gun on
his person, but with no intention OF
striking him. Mr.. Sydes pulled Mr..
Allen on, believing IL was case Of
two against one. For this action Mr..
McNary expressed his gratitude 10
Mr. Sydes. No injury to Lyon,
however, resulted from Mr.. Aliens
participation. Mr.. McNary threw
him down once or twice, but as he
exerted all his strength In trying tu
get away, he possibly escaped severer
chastisement. As soon as he was
freed he ran into the store Of Fox. Z
Harris. Quite a crowd gathered, and
some OF them told Mr.. Harris to pass
Lyon out. Harris told him II he val
ued hls hide he would better. get out
the back door. He departed out the
back way and supposedly went back
to his quarters. 9
It is probable that the Advertiser
has made its last appearance. La vo7

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD
Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub

We hear much nowadays about health
foods and hygienic living. about vegetari-
anism and many other fads along the
same line.
Restaurants may be found in the larger
cities where no meat. pastry or coffee Is
served and the food crank is in his glory,
and arguments and theories galore adj
vanced 70 prove that meat was never
intended for human stomachs. and almost
make US believe that our sturdy ancestors
who lived four score years in robust
health on roast beef. pork and mutton
must have been grossly ignorant or the
laws OF health.
