Another Automobile Passes Through.

Another automobile passed through
town last Friday afternoon. 1t arrived
here from Winnemucca that afternoon
at about 12:40 and is in charge of two
gentlemen-I. L Whitman, the Chauffeur,
and companion, e. L. Hammond. They
are on their way from Pasadena, Cal, to
New York with the machine. The We.
hicle is an Oldsmobile and weighs about
800 pounds. The motive power consists
of a five horse power gasoline engine.
The object of the trip lie to have a good
time aud see the country. The machine
Is light and they carry but five gallons
of gasoline in the tank although they
carry more than that with them so that
they will not run short between stops.
They use on ordinary roads about a gal
lon for every twenty miles Travelled al
though where the roads are sandy it
uses twice that amount.
The machine cost only $3.50 at the
factory.
After arriving here Friday afternoon
they spent some little time IN cleaning it
and also laid in a new supply of gasoline
and left town about 2 O'Clock to make
Carlin that night. When near Rock
Creek they took the wrong road which
brought them into a cattle trail as they
claim where sagebrush was 80 thick and
tall that it was impossible for them to
get through, although they worked hard
Tor some time in hopes that they you'd
be able to get out on to the right road
before night came upon them, and fear
ing that they would break the machine
if they kept going through the brush,
concluded they would return to town
and arrived that night about II o'clock.
Saturday afternoon at l o'clock they
resumed their journey and were guided
by Sterling Smelser and Tod Gobin who
were returning to the Blue House.

"MET TO BID FARE
E L AGAIN."

The M. f. Church was the scene OF
gaiety and pleasure last night as the nu-
merous friends OF DIR. and Mrs. Hood
met to bid them farewell prior to their
departure from our midst.
A short impromptu program had been
arranged for the evening which proved
to be entertaining and appropriate for
the occasion, each number being heart
lily applauded.
At late hour the ladies served a very
dainty and delicious lunch to which all
did ample justice. But a thought Of
sadness lowered over all as the thought
came of losing such a pleasant and high.
ly esteemed family.
Words cannot express the deep sorrow
this community feel 10 the loss OF this
estimable family from our little town.
In saying a few words for the doctor We
can say that during bis seventeen years
residence in Battle Mountain he has
proved to be an upright, capable and
successful business man, active in every
movement for the betterment Of the CON-
muni.y in which he lived. As a prac-
ticing physician he was constantly en-
gagged. no matter whether remuneration
came or not. He was just as faithful to
the poor as he was to the rich. His gen.
erous heart was always ready to respond
to every case Of suffering, whether by day
or night, no matter what might be the
pers nal inconvenience to himself. He
observed the ethics Of his profession not
only in the letter but in the spirit.
Mrs. Hood will be greatly missed as
she was a lady who always took an active
part in all social functions as we'll as
church and public school work and she
was always ready to assist at any and all
times for any good she might accomplish.
Ia her leaving We feel the separation Of
charming social relations and the extinc
ton OF a vast fund Of knowledge that can
hardly be replaced.
Farewell addresses wers made by Rev,
A. BARLEY and Ii. S. Starrett. to which
the DR.. and Mrs. Hood feelingly respond.
ed and during their delivery many tears
were shed by those present.
1t was about / o'clock when the assem-
blage arose and sang God be with you
till we meet again,"an as the guests de.
parted for their respective homes all
joined in one accord in wishing DIR. and
Mrs. Hood and family a future that will
be flied with abuud mt blessing and un-
failing prosperity.
Mrs. Hood aud children departed on
No. 3 this afternoon for Vallejo, Cal, on
a visit to her mother. The doctor will
remain for two or three weeks longer
before taking his departure.
We trust the good God vouchsafe all
VIII meet again. May pleasures fall
TO you unstinted, neal o. far;
IRIS not goodbye, but au revoir."

Here's n story John W. Gates tells:

had a cough. so she told him to get
her a bottle of cough medicine. When
he was buying II the druggist re-
marked incidentally that he had some
OF the best hair restorer that ever
gladdened the head of baldheaded
man. Thompkins is baldheaded, but
he pretended he didn't hear. He
bought cigar and talked politics with
two or three of the boys for a while
and Just before he left for home he
said kind of carelesslike to the drug
gist:
Say, old man, got any stun that's

'Oh. yes" said the druggist
We'll" said Thompkins. guess I'll
take bottle. My brother-in-law is a
regular dude and likes such things.
The two bottles were about the
same size. but that wasn't the drug
gist's fault Thompkins opened them
both when he got home. That night
after he had undressed he happened
to think that 1t might be good thing
to try little of the hair restorer. In
the dark he got hold of his wifes

for "ager." In a region of the noun
tains where the chills prevail lives the
old man. who won his sobriquet. "gob-
bier hunter" because of his prowess
in killing wild turkeys. He is a man
that is looked up to in his neighbor-
hood. He owns a good farm and his
heart is as tender as his outside ap-
pearance is rough. The poor noun
taineers round about know of this
goodness of heart as do no others.

Thompkins had a violent fit of cough
ing during the night and in feeling
around the closet for her medicine
got hold of the hair restorer. She
took a big dose and then hollered;
"Firei"
Thompkins awoke with yell. There
had been little slit In the pillow case
and he had rolled around with his
sticky head until he had made great
hole in the case and had all the feath-
ers worth mentioning flaring out from
his Uranium so that he looked like
the banshee in an Irish folklore tale.
He came rushing to Mrs. Thompkins'
assistance. She thought It was the
evil one taking a half-holiday and
again hollered, this time louder than
ever:
Fire, Police' Firei
The hired girl ran out into the night
with nothing on but a sweater and a
pair of rubber boots and turned in a
general alarm. 1t cost ThomplIins

was cheap at the price. as the cough
mixture started his hair growing
again. incidentally his wife's cough

suicides in European Armies.

Statistics of suicide in Austro-Hun-

among the civilian population of that
empire the percentage of suicide is
high-1-G3 per 10000 inhabitants. as
against 0.76 in England. though still
lower than Germany, whose percent
age is 2.71. Austrian army suicides,
however are equal to those of any
three other European armies put to-
gether. England's army of free men
does not weary of its own existence.
The percentage is 2.06 per 10000.
while in the Austrian army II rises
to 1858, even double that Of the Ger
man army, which may be described
as bad second with rate of 6.33.
