of kidney complaint, exposure to all
kinds of weather and the constant
shaking and Earring of the cars prob

to take them. The very first dose
gave relief and in two days Iowas out

After l had taken a few doses of them

they gave such quick and permanent

Green Girl in the kitch en-.

Washington Post: A southern wo-
man who conducts a boarding house
up in the northwest section paid a
| visit to some friends down on a farm
a few miles outside of Warrenton,
Va, about a month ago, and when
she came back to Washington she
brought with her a colored girl, about
Is years old, whom she purposed drill
ling into shape as a house maid-the
southern woman has a wise far for
taking her servants when they are
young and training them.
This black girl was the rawest of
the raw. She had never seen a rail
road train until she boarded the one
for Washington with her new mistress
and the ways and means Of urban
civilization were absolutely new to
her. The mistres and the raw black
girl from the country got into town
at night. On the following morning
the mistress found the girl sitting
in the kitchen, rocking to and fro in
her chair, and grooming pitifully.
"M'linda," said the astonished mis-
tress, what on earth is the matter
! with you, child?"
1t was some time before the girl
would reply to the question, and then
it came out.
"Ah wants uh drink O. watuh," she
moaned.
"a drink of water?" repeated the
| amazed mistress. "Well why in the
name of common sense don't you
go to the spigot right over there in
the corner and get it,"
"Kase All amt uh-goin' tub drink
no watuh dat yo' draw out O. de side
O de house, replied Melinda.
1t took the mistress half an hour to
convince the black girl from the coun-
try that water drawn from the side
of the house" is not only harmless,
but refreshing, and eve then Melinda
swallowed a supful of the Potomac
product as if it had been poison.

James Nichol, of this valley, is
about to inaugurate a scheme for
the reclama ton of 100 acres of arid
land in the lower end of this valley,
or really in Churchill Canyon. The
land in this section is probably as
fine as any in the State, where
water can be obtained to irrigate it
Mr.. Nichol has conceived the idea
that a dam can be built to catch the
seepagc and waste water from the
river and bitches in the upper por-
ton of the valley and that this
water will be sufficient to irrigate
the I6o-acre tract. To this end he
will cut a ditch to bedrock, upon
which he will build dam. In sink
ing to bedrock surface water is en-
countered, and to get this out of the
way he has rugged up pump of
home manufacture to lift the water
so that solid foundation can be
built on the bedrock. This pump
will be operated by sweep, the
motive power of which will be four
horses. His attempt to reclaim this
valua BILE land will be watched with
much interest, and it is to be hoped
that his efforts will be crowned with

afoul of Reno Gazette man, and
this is what he told him. 1t is no

"Yerington is one of the most pros
porous towns in the State, and the

country in that vicinity will some
day make the little village one of
the most important in the State.
The crops this year are very salts
factory and the country is in a
furnishing condition. The potato
crop this year is a little short owing
TO the carcity of water in the early
part of the season, but we have
about three-fourths of the average
crop. The crops OF hay and grain
were very large, and at present
there ore only about three thousand
tons of alfalfa hay in the valley not
contracted for. Hay is selling for
IS ton in the stack. A great deal
OF pasture has already been sold,
but there is still some choice pasture
land to be had III the valley"

success

1t IS great convenience to nave al
cases of accident and for slight in
juries and ailments. A good liniment
and one that is fast becoming a ia
vorite if not a household necessity
is Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By ap-
plying it promptly to cut, bruise
or burn it allays the pain and causes
the injury to heal in about one-third
the time usually required, and as it
is an antiseptic it prevents any dan
ger of blood poisoning. When Pain
Balm is kept at hand sprain may
be treated before inflammation sets
in, which insures quick recovery.

Bad Fire.

Wednesday morning the large
brick livery stable of T. K. Hey
mers, in Reno. burned to the ground.
The fire originated in the upper
story of the building where a hay
chopping machine was used, and
was probably caused by spontaneous
combustion of hay dust. Some
twelve or fifteen horses were burn
ed to death. The loss to Mr.. Hey
mers is about $4,000, with $4,000
insurance. Several other parties
who used portion of the building
tor storing goods lost quite heavily
also. The stable was only a couple
of blocks from the fire engine house,
but owing to delay in turning in an
alarm and accident to engines and
hose, it was fifteen or twenty min
utes before a stream was turned on
the FIRE. Reno evidently needs bet
ter fire department and system.

was in the valley this week looking
for potatoes for his firm. He pur-
chased six carloads, paying for them
SIS per ton. The potato acreage is
larger in this valley this year than
last, but the spuds will not average
as many tons to the acre as last
year on account of the coldness of
the season and lack of water at the
right time for irrigation.
