CHEERFUL WOMEN.
How to Keep Happy.

IN ESPONDENCY is thing of
j evil origin and evil results.
Worry produces nothing but
wrinkles and wretchedness. Let the
reader put up little note on her
bureau, on her desk and at the head
of her bed, just two words, DON'T
WORRY. Worry is the greatest
foe to the happiness of any house
hold. An anxious, respondent face,
a fretful, complaining voice, will
make every one uncomfortable.
A woman's nerves are more
truly the cause of worry than out
side troubles. The nerves are to
woman's body the telegraph sys-
tenn, which surely warns her of any
trouble in the feminine makeup.
WHY WOMEN HAVE NERVES"
THAT is the reason why women
have nerves When our thoughts
begin to grow cloudy and uncertain,
Our impulses lag and the warnings
OF pain and distress are sent like
flying messages throughout our
limbs and frame, we straightway,
nine times in ten, lay the cause Of
the trouble to some defect in the
point where we first feel it. Is it a
headache, a backache, a sensation
of irritability or twitching and UNI
comfortable nervousness, something
must be wrong with the head or
back, a woman naturally says, but
all the time the real trouble very
often centers in the womanly organs.
In nine cases out of ten the seat Of
the difficulty is here, and a woman
should take rational treatment for its
cure. The local disorder and inhaln-
nation OF the delicate special organs
of the sex should be treated steadily
and Systematically"
DR.. Pierce, during a long period
of practice, found that a prescrip-
ton made up entirely of roots and
herbs, without the use of alcohol,
cured over ninety per cent of such
cases. After using this remedy for
many years in his private practice
he put it up in form that would
make it easily procurable, and it
can be had at any store where medi-
cines are handled.
$500 REWARD FOR WOMEN WHO CANNOT BE
CURED.
Backed up by over third OF a
century of remarkable and uniform
cures, record such as no other
remedy for the diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to women ever at
tanned, the proprietors and makers
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton now feel fully warranted in Of

VICIOUS DOGS.
Numerous Complaints Received at the

Many complaints have been made to the
police during the past few weeks regard
ing vicious dogs. About a dozen persons
have been bitten by the animals within a
period of one month, and in most of the
cases the turning over to the poundmaster
of the offending animal satisfied the VIC
Tins. Poundmaster Einstein and his as
sistants are engaged In the work Of i'm
pounding unlicensed dogs, but it is said the
CANNES that have done most of the damage

What the States Are Doing.

The greatest actual ACCOMPLISHMENT of
the movement is that it has secured the
adoption of the state aid plan in ten states.
The essential features Of this plan are the
creation of state highway commission and
the cooperation of the state with the coun-
ties and towns in the work of road improve
ment. each bearing a fixed part of the ex-
pense, though no two states have adopted
exactly the same plan.
The northeastern states from Maine to
Pennsylvania and Maryland have adopted
state aid, and the results secured are so
satisfactory that the popularity of the plan
increases every year.
In New Jersey the state pays one-third
of the cost of road Improvement and the
legislature now appropriates $25O,00O an
nually. In Connecticut the state pays two
thirds OF the expense and the annual ap-
preparations are $225,O0O Massachusetts,
spends nearly half a million year, the state
paying three-fourths of the cost In New
York the state pays one-half the cost and
the last legislature made appropriation
of 100000 for this purpose. Pennsylvania 8
last legislature appropriated six and one
half millions state fund to be expended
during six years, the state paying twO-
thirds of the cost of the roads built.
All the other states in this part of the
country have adopted this plan in some
form. In these states the sentiment for ma
tional aid is strong, 1t being argued that
the only ideally perfect and just system OF
cooperation in road building is one in
which the federal government enters as ar
active factor.
The good roads movement has been stead.
lily gaining in force for a dozen years and
during the past two years it has gained al
| greatly accelerated rate. The aim of its
| friends and promoters is to make an end OF
| the unscientific piecemeal methods of roao
| work now in vogue in nearly all parts OF
| the country, and to substitute therefor
scientific methods. intelligent supervision
and cooperation of nation. state and loca
| community In united and coordinate eff
| fort for the Improvement of the roads
| throughout the whole country.

Good Roads in Congress.

The ST. Louis convention created COM
mittee representing all sections of the coun-
try to go to Washington, lay its demands
before Congress and argue in favor Of the
nations help in the work of improving the
roads. Last January the committees on
agriculture in both the Senate and House
granted public hearings to this commit
tee, and the Senate has since issued re-
port of the hearing for distribution to the
people. On the whole it must be said that
the advocates of national aid made out
strong case, and the report contains a
large amount Of valuable information.
The Senate committee has since decided
by vote of to 1 to make favorable re-
port on the Latimer bill, with some amend
ments and this report will go before the
Senate for action at the next session.
The national aid proposition has been in
dorsed by the legislatures of six states, by
the National Grange, the trans Mississippi
commercial congress, the American mining
congress and by state and local conventions
and organizations of many kinds in all
parts of the country.

To the surprise and qualification of its
promoters, the convention turned out to be
decided success and attracted the atten-
ton of the whole country.
AT great national convention for consid-
GRAFTON of the road improvement question,
held in Chicago in November, 1900, the
National Good Roads Association was or
ganized and it has since grown until with
its state, district and local associations, 1t
is without doubt the greatest organization
of the kind in existence
In 1901 an interna tiona1 congress of per-
sons interested in road Improvement was
held at Buffalo, in connection with the
Pan-American exposition All sections of
tries were represented.
1t would be impossible in a brief review
of the good roads movement to even men
ton the many important conventions which
have been held since the great Chicago
meeting of 1892. But no history of the
movement would be complete without some
account of the national convention held at
ST. Louis year ago at the time the Louis
lana purchase exposition was dedicated. In
the number of leading public men who at
tended and participated, this gathering far
exceeded any of its predecessors. Address
es were delivered by President Roosevelt,
A. c. Latimer, William ]. Bryan, Gen.
Miles and by several congressman and gov
ernors of states, as well as many other
men of national prominence.

Another PROSPECTIVE Mine Sale.

T. P. Mack and T. w. Mack ar
rived from Dayton today to do some
mining surveying. The latter is
here to examine and make report
on the Spragg group OF copper
mines for California company of
mining men. This property was
examined some two or three weeks
ago for this company, and the report
was so favorable that the company
decided to further look into the mer-
it's of the group. 1t will depend up
on Mr.. Mack's report whether the
company opens negotiations for the
purchase of the property or not.
The Spragg group of copper claims
Is in the same range as the Blue
stone, Douglas and Ludwig proper
ties, and with sufficient amount of
the right kind of development work
will show UP valuable property.

Lyon VS.. Storey.

The Commissioners of Storey
county met the other day and re-
jected the bill presented to them by
Lyon county for taxes collected on
4.57 miles of the main line of the
Southern Pacific main track and the
proportion of rolling stock thereon
alleged to belong to Lyon county.
The amount sought to be reclaimed
by Lyon county is S72e.82 and also
the sum of $343.55 as half of the
cost of re-surveying the boundary
line between the two counties. This
means that Lyon county will be
compelled to sue to recover the
above named amounts. This con-
dition of things has been brought
about by the dilatory tactics of the
Lyon county Commissioners and
the suit may be an expensive one.
Do the people want District Attor-
ney who makes plumbers to handle
such case as this? Do they want
to run the risk of losing that four
and half miles of railroad as taxa
BILE property?

Chicken Ranch Would Pay.

There is an industry which it
would not cost much to establish in
this valley that would be money
producer from the start, and that is
chicken ranch. There is more
money in raising chickens, turkeys
and ducks for market than in any
other business for the money invest
ed. To make success of the bust
ness a person would have to go into
it right, and prepare to carry it on
right. The call for poultry and eggs
for the southern country now is i'm
mense and it will continue to in
crease as the country grows. The
transportation facilities between
this valley and the southern country
will soon be of the best, and right
now would not be too soon to pre-
pare to establish business of this
kind

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
