Catarrh OF the Lungs
the First Stage OF
Consumption.
SO All M e die a ]
Authorities Agree.

Judge Durham, well-known local
Judge of Greensboro, Ga, had an expe-
rience with Peruna well worth reciting.
A report had become current among the
judges friends that he was threatened
with consumption. It was feared for a
time that Georgia was to lose one of its
most prominent and influential citizens.
1t was also reported that the judge
had failed to get any relief from any of
the medical aid at his command, that he
had made use of the now world famous

"I continued using Perrna for q
short while, and have never felt the
least symptoms of Cafarrh since. Pc
rliGa is certainly a good medicine, and
deserves the highest praise which Is
given it by the general public"
Judge Durham has been Secretary and
Treasurer of the city of Greensboro, Ga,
for the past three years, and has been
local judge for ten years.
Dread Consumption.
There are three roads which lead from
health to consumption. Over one of
these roads pass all of that great multi
tude of people who die every year of
consumption. Each route begins with
health and happiness and ends with dis
ease and death.
First road: slight co1d-negIected-
settles in the head or throat-chronic
catarrh-extends to the lungs-consump-
tion-death.
Second road: slight cold-neglected
cough-settles in the lungs-cough grad
ually growing worse-consumption
death.
Third road: cold-neglected-se
in the throat-hoarseness-sbort breath
onsumption-death.
Thousands have just started on one of
these roads, all of whom could be easily
cured by Peruna. Thousands more are
half way to the fatal end of one of these
roads who are still durable by course
of treatment by Peruna. Yet other
thousands are near the end whose last
days could be made bearable and hope
OF recovery more probable by commence
ing Peruna without delay.

the many friends of Judge Durham were
not only exceedingly gratiffed at his re-
covery, but were enthusiastic in their
praises of the remedy that had brought
him relief.

the judge himself set forth the facts:

A CAPITAL OPERATION.
Celebrated Mare Operated Upon for
Cancer.

One of the most interesting and
difficult operations in the history of
modern veterinary surgery was per-
formed yesterday afternoon at the
State Prison by DR.. Price, assisted
by DR.. Dempsey, of Dayton and Dr.
Won Radesky, in the presence of 4
large number of physicians and citi-
zens
The great mare Mamie F., formerly
the property of D. Gree, but now own
ed by Warden Considine, was success
fully operated upon for cancer of the
abdomen. If no setbacks occur, this
will be the first successful operation
of its kind in the annals Of veterinary
surgery on the Pacific coast.
For some time past the mare has
refused to eat and reached such a
condition that either an operation
or shooting would have to result. The
former course was decided upon and
at this writing the animal is doing
nicely. Chloroform was administered
by DIR. Won Radesky and for four hours
the beast was under it's influence. The
operation consumed two hours AMI
eight minutes.
The operation revealed a cancer 81
large dimensions, there being twelve
leaders to it. Parts of the same have
been sent to the University Of Califor.
mia, the University Of Nevada and have
been refined by the surgeons.
The matter is the subject OF much
comment among horsemen and ply
sicians, and adds laurels to the Oper
ators.

IHE Blu lRklGA1lON CANAL.
Description Of the Work Being
Done by the Government.

Ihe government canal will head at
what is called the sixth crossing. four
miles beyond Clark's station. The dam
will be of sufficient height to prevent
the onward passage Of the water 1t
viii be for diverting and not for re-
straining purposes. 1t will follow the
contour Of the hills on the south side
OF the river to point about two miles
beyond Wadsworth, where it reaches
the elevated plateau that is the water
shed between the Truckee and Carson
rivers.
The ditch will follow the canyon for
about ten miles and it presents some
difficult engineering features There
will be three tunnels, one of which
will be cemented for the entire length.
The canal is to be fourteen feet
wide the bottom and SO feet at the
top. 1t will carry thirteen feet Of wa
ter in the center. This stream will
flow at. various points. according to
the nature of the ground at velocity
: of from two to three feet per second
1t is calculated that it will take
about year to finish the canal. The
water will be carried to point on the
Carson river and the two streams
brought together, where a reservoir
will be built at a cost of million
and a half dollars.
From the various points along the
canal lateral bitches will be run. fol
lowing the higher ground and putting
nearly al the land capable of success
full irrigation for distance of forty
miles.
The first canal win be taken out q
few miles this side Of Wadsworth and
will be carried across the canyon by
an inverted siphon, which will run
northward nearly eighteen miles to the
Pyramid reservation, comprising ap
proximately $1,000 acres. The larger
portion Of this is now sage brush land
but it is very arabic when placed un
der water and is thermal belt, where
even citrus fruits are possible.
These later bitches will cover every
portion Of ground that is capable Of
cultivation. e1sf
While the work Of the main canal
will be completed in about q year. and
a small portion Of the land that car
be watered directly from the cana
will probably be ready for entry some
time about May LIST next. The scheme
contemplates reaching far out into
Churchill county to lands now far re
mote from any water supply and it i.
probable that the government will con
tinue to extend it's laterals for the mex
five years at least.
Many inquiries have been made a:
to when these lands will be open TO
entry and Engineer Taylor is author
ity for the statement that it will pro
badly be sometime next spring before
entries can be made.

ready Tor entry now is because the
lands have not yet been subdividci
into the smaller fractions and it
would be impossible to tell where the
entries would fall. Most of the land
has been surveyed into town ~. but
only some in sections. The lines f.
the smaller subdiviions have not Yet
been established and a man fling tn,

Mr.. Taylor has several parties Ct
surveyors in the field laying out lines,
in all nearly one hundred men, divi;
ed between the various camps The
work will be prosecuted all winter
for the season is very mild there.
The government will only allow this
land to be taken up in 8O-acre tracts
and only to bona fide settlers. The
water right is inseparable from rhe
land and will cost the settler about
$3.50 per acre per year. In five years
the land will thus be paid for. hut
five years more, paying $3.50 an acre
per year will berequired to recompense
the government for it's outlay, al
which time perpetual free water
right will also be secured This sys
TEN will prevent lands being taken
up for speculation and sold at the
end of five years. The land by His
time will have become SO valuabls
that there will be no danger OF it's
passing into large holdings, thus be
ing perpetually reserved for home
sites.
The system when fully carried out
will mean the addition Of 10000 peo
pie to Churchill county, all Of whom
viii dwell beneath their own hg and

to take up the irrigation work when
Congress made it possible. Mr.. Taylor

SUNDAYS SAND CONCERT.
A Musical Treat Not Soon to Be For
gotten.

Themuch-talked of uand concert
came on on schedule time last Sun
DAY In the Capitol park. The day was
an ideal one and long before the first
numberwas rendered the park was
fhronged with people of this city and
from neighboring towns In addition to
the Wheelmen band, Reno sent oyor
a delegation numbering two hundred
persons.

was rendered as an oifertory in an ex-

Afterlunch at the Arlington house
the concert began. By this time the
beautiful Capitol Park was a mass of
humanity and the surrounding streets
fairly thronged with vehicles of all
kinds and descriptions, from the ele-
CANT chaise of the cattle king and min
ing magnate to the swill cart CT oil
Bill Miller.
Carson City's fairest were out IN
all their glory and presented a picture
that for beauty and grace could not
be exeelled in any city of like size Oh
the continent.
After the rendition of the first piece
it was clearly apparent that the two
bands as one were at home" and
each succeeding number showed to the
people more plainly that they were
listening to music, the like of which
had never been heard before in this
city, or probably the coast, from anna.
teur organizations. ....t:s. =
/ Director Smith of "our band" and
Conductor Hastings, of the Reno bani,
alternated as leaders in an admirable
manner. Each piece received a hearty
encore from the gathering.
Immediately following the, concert,
a banquet was rendered the visitors
and it is safe to say that never in Car.
sons history has one more sumptuous
been served to guests. The south hall
OF Odd Fellows building was beauti-
fully and tastefully decorated for the
occasion, the colors red and white
predominating, in honor of the bows
from the riverside town. The light,
furnished by lamps with red shades,
blended beautifully with the interior
decorations and the rays of the re-
treating. sun, furnished a scene of be-
witching grandeur.

He then said that the negroes entered pleas of guilty, because they had been adVlseo to do so by Franklin. who pretended to he their friend, and when they did so, tn .y knew not what they did.
 Denounces Riddles Conduct. t The speaker then began his denunciation of Mir. Riddle Riddle. he said was lawyer for the Sample Lumber Company and also a lawyer for Franklin. After Franklin was indicted, he investigated things and found that the docket Of Mo- tary Couse would not hold water. Frank lin went to Faces and inquired as to dates figures, etc. He then wrote a let ter to Couse that if the original docket was presented in evidence, Couse would be in an equally bad fix with Franklin. He informed him that Riddle would come to Rollins and fix things. He then made his reference to the removal of Couse. Mir. Sternfeld then reviewed the inti- macy between Franklin and Riddle. both in the Northern District, in the Middle District, Ut HOllins and in reference to the docket.
 The testimony of Riddle corroborated the testimony of Couse in that he came tO StS IifIi OI Dut SOuoS swore they had two dockets at the con- ference and Riddle swore they had only one. That's where the shoe pinches," dramatically announced MT. Sternfeld, 'and that's where Riddle stands before you a perpurer.."
 He declared that Riddle had made an effort to suborn perjury and to subvert the truth in the matter. A lawyer, he said, who is guilty of such conduct, strikes at the foundation stone of Ameri- can justice and liberty. He then reviewed the circumstances, which, he held, showed that Riddle made an effort to have Couse swear to the truth of the false docket.
 MT. Sternfeld then carefully reviewed the evidence in regard to the service on the Pace farm being involuntary, and closed with an appeal for conviction.

The words of the District Attorney. he said. did not worry him professionally, as he was representing Franklin and not him. self in court. and Mir. Sternfeld's speech had been entirely against him. He re- ferred however. to the mental anguish caused by being compelled to listen to such a speech and being barred by the etiquette of court from resenting 1t.
 MT. Riddle described the duty of the jurors and the testimony. of the different witnesses He said that Franklin be- lieved at the time that he was executing a warrant for a legal officer and did not know until ne came to Montgomery that Couse was not c justice of the peace. In reference to the sentence on the Pace farm being voluntary, he called to the attention of the jury the testimony of D. w. Burns and W. A. Davis in refer ence to one of the negroes saying that if he had to work out fine, he would prefer to work 1t out at Faces. He ques- tioned the credibility of Pat Hill and said that the jurors, as Southern white men. knew how much to believe of q negro s testimony h reference to the insinuation of Mir. Sternfeld that he had used hiy influence to get Course removed from office, he said that Governor Jelks Is a wise and good Governor, and removed Couse because he recognized that such a man in public office Is a menace to thu welfare of the commonwealth. MT.

WANTED THE DOGS
CITIZENS OF BARBOUR CHASING
 DAN CARD.
Outlaw Has Been Terrorizing Resi- dents of Lower Barbour and Upper pale--Committed
 Highway Robbery.

Governor Jelks has been requested to rent the States dogs to Barbour County to assist in running down Dan Card, the negro outlaw. who has terrortzed several communities in Dale and Barbour County. I, was found impracticable to send the dogs.
 On receiving the request the Governor conferred with the officials of the Convict Department as to the sending of the dogs The States pack of dogs used in running down escaped convicts. 1t was found was not in good condition. The pack which Is kept at Speigner's is smaller than It has been in several years. Several of the dogs were sick and 1t was deemed in- advisable to allow them to go out, when some might be lost.
 Card, 1t will be remembered. Is the negro who brutally murdered Robert Ar rington. a young white man. near Louis vile. in the presence of his mother. The negro walked Into the Arlington yard and deliberately emptied his gun into the young mans head. He,e,theus beat the mother into insenaIb:ity with his gun, in- fiieting serious wounds. 4
 Card made his escape. Since then he has been ranging from Solcmou's mill through the lower part of Barbour Coun- ty to the upper portion of Dale. That section is familiar, to Card and he has but little difficulty in hiding out. He knows the negroes who live Tn that section and apparently has but little trouble in securing food and shelter.
 He recently held up a young man named Min Stafford near Elamville. Withsa gun drawn upon Stafford the negro took from him 2 cents. Many of the people in that section are greatly alarmed and peace and quiet will not he restored until Card is taken.
 He has several times been chased by posses. but always managed to elude his pursuers.
