Cleanliness and Arsenic.

In Syria and Carinthia there is much
Lrsenic eating among the peasants. The
women take it to give themselves a
good complexion and to make their hair
fine and glossy. The men take it be.
cause they believe that it gives them
wind in climbing in the chase after
chamois. There is nothing of this sort
IN Cornwall and Devon.
In Syria and Carinthia it is known
that an arsenic eater can never be bro
ken of the habit and that If arsenic be
compulsorily kept from the eater death
rapidly ensuSs. 1t is believed in the
ramar-and this is perhaps true-that
IN arsenic worker is fit for no other
work. He must remain at this occupa-
tion. Health and breath fail him at
>ther employments. Eventually 1t may
be that chronic arsenical poisoning en-
sues. But this may be STAYED off, if not
wholly prevented, by scrupulous clean
liness, by care taken not only to wash
in the changing house." but to bathe
freely at home. AS one of the foremen
said to the writer, Against arsenic the
BEST antidote is soap taken externally" !"

Developments Continue

Goldfield continues to attract good
share of public attention and the de-
velopments of the past week, while
not of a sensational nature, are very
encouraging, says the Tonopah Miner.
The shaft on the Jumbo group has
reached a little over so feet in depth
and Mr.. Harvey has started crosscut-
ting at this point. While assays from
the ore in the crosscut have not been
received as yet, 1t is stated that it
never looked better and without doubt
the assays, when made. will show the
same high values.
The first shipment of ore went out
from the Combination early in the
week and was sent to the Western Ore
Purchasing Company of Reno. This
shipment will go a trifie better than
5000 to the ton. The contractor has
started sinking the shaft an additional
50 feet and is now down about feet
below the tunnel level. The bottom
OF the shaft is in ore which Mornings
prove is as rich as any heretofore en-
countered in this splendid property

The police have been so appalled, by
Neidermier's confession that they
hardly give credence to all his as

by the police that more arrests will

A Painful Accident

Little George Reid, the six-year-
old son of Mrs. Minnie Reid, met with
a painful accident yesterday at the
Grayson ranch in Paradise Valley.
He was riding a horse, from which he
fell, breaking the left arm just above
the elbow He was brought into town
as soon as possible. and DR.. Samuels,
having been advised by a telephone
message in advance, and being in
readiness, had the little fellow taken
to the residence of his uncle, H. A.
Gilbert, where he set the broken limb.
Owing to the fact that George is
at an age when broken bones quickly
unite, he will be laid up but COM
paratively short time.

ANOTHER MET DEATH
ON THE RAIL
Louis Mohn Run Down at
BeOwawe Last Night-In-
juries Fatal

Louis Mohn, brakeman employed
on this division of the S. p. since the
latter part of last July, met an un-
timely death last night as the result
OF an accident at Beowawe. He was
brought to Winnemucca as soon as
possible. and taken to the Sanitarium.
DIR. Sampels. the railroad physician,
was defined on another case, and in
his unavoidable absence Dr. Giroux
was called to attend the unfortunate
man. Everything was done that could
be, but his injuries were of such a
nature that he died about midnight.
From those who testified at the cor
oner's inquest this morning, the par
ticulars of his death are as follows:
Mohn was assisting in switching in
the yards at Beowawe; he was riding
on the pilot of the engine, and as it
approached a switch, jumped off to
throw the switch. His left foot
caught in the guard rail. and he was
unable to get it loose. The engine
his frantic efforts to release himself,
he placed his right foot against the
rail, or across it, rather, when the
wheels ran across both feet and the
right leg. The left foot was crushed
below the ankle, and the right foot
mangled, as was also the leg. He was
picked up at once and brought to Win
nemucca in the caboose, arriving here
about 1880. 1t is stated that his death
was due to the shock and the newt
able loss of a great deal of blood.
Coroner Robins summoned a jury
this morning, including Geo. M. Rose.
Chas. Van Volkenburg. Jonn Travers.
Gus Bartlemay, H. Montgomery and
]. II. Jewell. A number of witnesses
were examined, and a verdict return
ed in accordance with the above facts,
placing the blame on no one 1t is
learned that Mohn had relatives iv-
ing at 54S5 Lake avenue, Chicago, ana
they have been communicated with;
in all probability his remains will be
sent to them.
Mr.. Mohn was a steady, Industrious
young man, and was popular with his
associates and employers. He roomed
at the Shone house here, and is highly
spoken of by all who knew him.
