St. Louis, Oct. 2S, 1904.

one million people per week, and the
tide from Mississippi and the other
AsGtl.5-. states is unabated. Tho
large attendance from the South, in
view Of the fact that active business
has begun In that section, Is most
gratifying to the exposition manage
ment. While the weather Is cool, 1t

having fallen for several weeks.

desire to see the replica Of the last
home of the distinguished patriot,
soldier and Southern idol, should

The Mississippi exhibits are still in
tact, as are the exhibits Of all the

taken so many prizes, they will prove
more interesting to our people than
ever, before. Each day, however,

The Board of Commissioners met
in Dayton Monday and transacted
the following business
The bill of F. w. Fairbanks for
printing the Lyon county tax list
was rejected by unanimous vote
of the Board.
The bill of w. L. Hayes, taking
testimony in the Compton case, was
rejected.
The bills of G. 1. Leavitt & Son,
F. w. Hodgins, M. D., and Justice of
the Peace Pinkerton, were laid over.
1t was ordered that the rent of the
Lyon county road machine be fixed
at IS per day. Penrose voted no.
1t was ordered that Mrs. Martin
be allowed SIS per month per. man
instead of $II for the keep of the
county INDECENT.
The Clerk was ordered to give
notice by publication of bids wanted
for the construction of a bridge
across the Walker River near the
Miller & Lux ranch. This bridge
will be necessary for the opening of
new road through the Miller 4
Lux ranch. The Board, according
to minutes, did not open the road.
The bids for the bridge cannot be
opened before November 9TH, the day
before election. Then they are sub
iect to rejection or to being laid over
for month. In view of the fact
the Board could have attended to
this matter when it met on Sept. Io,
it looks as though all the people of
that section were going to get this
year in the way of road is promi-
ses, for their votes.
1t was ordered that the Chairman
of the Board take the necessary
steps to sue Storey county for the
amount due on railroad taxes.
The money in the treasury was
counted and found to amount to
SI7,18o. Sc.
The bonds of the county and town.
ship officers were examined and
found to be good and sufficient.
Some other minor matters were
attended to and the Board adjourn
ed to meet November 18th, three
days after election. How are the
people in the lower end of this val
ley going to know before election
whether that road and bridge are to
built or not?

is another one of the substantial
citizens of Lyon county. For the
past FIVE years he has been general
manager of the Miller & Lux prop
erty in Mason Valley, and under his
able management that property has
been greatly improved. Mr.. Clifford
is also an individual ranch owner in
this valley, and is making out of a
run down piece of property one of
the best in this section. He is a pro-
gressive man in every sense of the
word and has the welfare of Lyon
county at heart because he has in
vested his all here. AS there are
but two Republican candidates in
the field Republicans should feel in
duty bound to support Mr.. Clifford
and Mr.. Reymers.

Astounding sense of humor, and her

Her character and humorous recit-

it is in dramatic and pathetic parts
that her well modulated and SYM
pathetic voice dominates the emo
tons of hearers. Miss Howe was
assisted by Misses Smith, Cooper,
Wilson, Paquint, kaufman and Ba-

and greatly appreciated. The dance
which followed the entertainment
was well attended and most enjoy
able. Altogether the evening was
delightful and we anticipate with

having had delightful trip, having
visited every point of interest in
that country. On their return to
America they visited relatives in
New York and then attended the
St. Louis Exposition. Mr.. Reymers
says that the Nevada mineral ex-
hibit at St. Louis is the best there.
The agricultural display is not very
good from the fact that no new pro-
ducts are sent in. He says he was
extended every courtesy by Com
missioners Yerington and Hardin
and was surprised at the great
amount of work that had been done
by Mr.. Yerington with the small ap-
preparation. Mr.. Reymers was ac-
companied from Brooklyn by his
niece, Miss Mamie Ankleman, who
will visit here for several months.
Miss Alvina Reymers also returned
with the party from San Francisco.

so tar it amounts to $50 tons of

yet remains to be threshed some 90
tons of wheat and 80 tons of barley.
The grain in that valley is of fine
quality this year and the yield is
heavy. The threshing crew con-
sists of nine men. No difficulty to
speak of has been encountered with

be in this valley for some weeks.

Some SeasOaable Advice.

1t may be a piece of superfluous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year to lay in a supply of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t is
almost sure to be needed before the
Winter is over, and much more
prompt and satisfactory results are
obtained when taken as soon as a
cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system, which
can only be done by keeping the
remedy at hand. This remedy is so
widely known and so altogether
good that no one should hesitate
about buying it in preference to any
other. 1t is for sale by Leavitt x
