In a paper on detectives, read by Dr.

OF philanthropy at the charities Duliu-

IL was the case OF an American null
timillionaire who is living in far east

says q New York report.
According to DR.. Barr, this man Is
nsurotic. 1t is estimated that his Tor
tune is In the neighborhood OF slO,-
OOO, 900, but no attempt has been made
to have him declared incompetent;
he is left free to run his course. His
family are refined and socially promi-
nent. Whenever they speak OF the
sons course, they refer to 1t as his
nervousness" They will not admit
that he has deranged intellect,
though he has left friends and posi-
tion here to take up life among the
"Hanins,' the grave diggers and 30
eial outcasts OF the far east.
HE was physician, rich, handsome,
cultured, of aesthetic tastes" said
DIR. Barr in his paper, "a graduate OF
one OF the most prominent medical
colleges in America, and a man who
had made pronounced hit as
specialist.
His fortune enabled him to secure
every medical appliance known to
science and for some years he en-
joyed phenomenal success. Wine ana
women proved his bane. He sank
lower and lower. His psculiarities
no longer tolerated at home. he
drifted from capital to capital Of Eu-

In Japan. With an appetite still un-
satisfied. he exhibited new phases of
moral degeneration, causing his

The following very good bit OF
advice is going the rounds OF
the press, and is good enough to
keep going:
There is no reasonable excuse
for a man living in a town if he
does not want to. If you have
no word of commendation for
your town, it's institutions or it's
people, emigrate. You won't
stop the course of events by 60
ing away, neither will your carp
ing criticisms cut any figure if
YOU remain. The church bell
will have the same musical ring !;
the dogs will play just as freely !;
the birds sing just as sweetly,
and the pure air and bright sun
shine will have the same health
giving proportions. Speak a
good word for your neighbor if
YOU can; if you can't, don't
everlastingly enlarge on their
faults. If you have became thor

Homes and Society.

Happy homes are the founda-
ton of good society. In a COM
munity where homemrkers and
homeowners predominate there
is little fear of the criminal class.
1t is the homeless and shiftless
who fill the penitentiaries The
homemaker is the builder of the
nation. 1t therefore behooves
the government to encourage
and assist in every possible way
the worker to secure a home on
the public domain and keep out
land-grabbers and spectators.

ALkALl LANDS
Government Experiment Station Solves Prob
lem of Reclamation.

Professor w. H. Hellman,
government expert who IS con-
Quoting an experiment station on
arid land near Salt Lake, has
discovered a process by which
alkali may be removed from soil,
and the land made as fine agri-
cultural tracts as there are in
the world.
The result of ten months ex-
perimental has therefore resulted
In victory for the government.
The success of the tests means
that millions of acres of now
worthless land in the West will
be reclaimed, especially in Utah.
Nevada. California, Colorado
and Idaho, if this is true.
The Department of Agricul-
ture is operating on a 4O-acre
tract of the worst alkali land
to be found, on the Jordan River
about four miles west of Salt
Lake City.
The officers of the Utah Ex-
pertinent Station are co-operat-
ing with the government experts
in carrying out the details of the
experiment. While Prof. He'll
man maintains a judicious 81
lence regarding the details and
records of the work in keeping
with the well known plan OF the
department not to anticipate
the official and corrected data
to be published later, he admits
that his tests have solved the
problem of removing alkali from
any soil.

THE FAMOUS CLEVELAND RANCH
One of the Most Valuable in the State of
Nevada.

Probably one of the most fa-
nous ranches in the West, and
certainly the most valuable in
the State of Nevada, is that of
the late A. c. Cleveland. 1t is
located in Spring Valley, White
Pine county, about 100 miles
north from Phoebe. Ely lies to
the west about 40 miles, to the
north 100 miles is Frisco, and
Osceola is 16 miles southeast.
From these camps every Sum-
mer, and indeed from all over
the State, come pilgrims, anx-
ious to escape the care and wor-
ry of the busy world, and stretch
themselves on the green sward
under the trees, to catch the fin
ny denizens of the streams, and
in general spend a short time
near to natures heart"
In extent the ranch covers H.
600 acres, divided into pastures,
meadows, etc, for the accommo-
dation of the different bands of
blooded stock with which the
ranch is fully stocked. 1t is irri-
gated by the springs and streams
which flow from the Shell Creek
mountains, the principal supply
being obtained from Cleveland
Creek, which has its source 16
miles from the ranch and fur
nishes about 900 inches of
water, Timber is plentit IN
the neighborhood, one large
grove Of red cedals standing on
the first fiat close by.
The ranch produces an abund-
ance of grain and hay to supply
the needs of the cattle and hors-
es. Four large fields have been
seeded down to white clover and
Kentucky blue grass, and there
are over 500 acres IN alfalfa,
which yields four crops. Not
less than 5000 tons of hay is
put up annually and % men are
required to take care of the
crop during the haying season,
which lasts three months. The
ranch is also noted for the excel
lent quality and variety of its
orchard and garden products.
The building are substantial
and convenient, no expense hav-
ing been spared to make them
the best in the State. The barns
are built stockade fashion, lined
on the inside with lumber. They
have plank flooring and the roots
are covered with earth to lessen
the danger from fire. One OF
them is furnished with 100 box
stalls each 12x12 feet, for the
cattle and horses,
The chicken-house is better
than the average dwelling house
and contains apartments con-
nected with separate yards tor
the different breeds of teathered
fayorites, which are kept to
themselves. Besides the many
buildings common to all hrst-
class stock farms, there is a store
better stocked than the average
country grocery, and a large
building for the use OF visitors
of which there is no less than a
hundred at the present time

The new series of two cents stamps

stamp hat has become very important
is the Private Die Stamp placed over
the neck of each bottle of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, as a preventative
against INSCRIPTIONS dealers palming
off counterfeit remedies for the genu-
inc, claiming that they are lust as
good as Hostetters." Don't accept any
imitation, especially If you value your
health. The genuine Bitters will posi-
lively cure loss of appetite nausea,
Indigestion, belching, headache, dys-
pepsia and constipation. Fifty years
os such cures are back of it. Then

The New Cup Challenger

The English people are very per-
sistent in their efforts to recapture
the cup which Americans have held
for so many years. Another attempt
is to be made this summer, and to that
end a new challenger is being built,
which is claimed will have more speed
than those used in the past. The re-
suit will be watched with great inter-
est by both sides. There has also been
much interest manifested by the peo-
pie in the marvellous success of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters during the
past fifty years. 1t has established a
record of cures unequalled by any
other remedy of such ailments as
heartburn, belching, indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, insomnia, ner-
or spring fever. If you are
a sufferer, we urge you to try a bottle
at once.

that the road would pass through

camps of Darwin and Silver Peak to
Tonopah. The road will connect with
