There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all others diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and per-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
+. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonfll.
1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

CRIPPLED FOR
LIFE IN A BRAWL.

RENO New. J, July 9.--While under
the influence of a nights carousal,
John McI<ane, superintendent and
manager of the Schwab- Morgan in
terests at Tonopah and Goldfield, met
with injuries last Saturday morning
that will cripple him for life. He be-
came involved in quarrel with James
Sabin, town character, and the latter
threw him to the floor.
In falling McKane's left hand went
through glass case, the shattered
glass nearly severing his band. As it
is, he will undoubtedly lose one finger,
while the cords are severed and he
will probably never have the use of
the member again. This is the
opinion of the attending physician.
McKane is now in hospital receiv-
ing treatment. He came to Reno
Friday night in company with DIR.
Boles, the physician who accompanied
Stanley in Africa, and who was with
Roberts in the Boer war. He pro-
eeeded at once to make himself ac-
quainted, and the end came Sat
urday morning as stated.-Gazette.

The two great parties have held
their conventions, adopted platform
and each presents to the American
people its candidates. The Republic
can party has chosen as its standard
bearers Theodore Roosevelt and
Charles w. Fairbanks. The Demo-
cratic party depends upon Alton B.
Parker and Henry G. Davis to carry
it to victory.
On one hand is a man tried and
true;on the other an unknown quantity.
One has served his country well; the
other until few months ago was I'M
known outside of his own state. The
Democratic nominee has the backing
of Morgan, Hill, Belmont and the
other representatives of the trusts.
Is it not reasonable, then, to believe
that if elected he would prove to be
the servant of the trusts? The soul
less corporations are determined to
defeat Roosevelt because he has tried
to make them obey the law. But the
people have a voice in this matter,
and they will speak in no uncertain
terms next November.
The REcoRD-CoURIER has lived up
to its promise that until the two con-
ventions were held it would remain
independent. 1t must now chose be-
tween the two candidates, and its
choice is that of four-fifths of the
voters of Douglas county-rheodore
Roosevelt, the truest friend the West
has.ever had in the White House.
regard the gold standard as firm
ly and irrevocably established and
shall act accordingly if the action of
the convention to-day shall be rati-
fled by the people. As the platform
is silent on the subject my views
should be made known to the con-
vention, and if it proves to be un-
satisfactory TO the majority, | request
you to decline the nomination for me
at once, so that another may be nom-
mated before adjournment B.
Parker
The platform adopted by this con-
vention is silent on the question of
the monetary standard because it is
not regarded by us as possible issue
in this campaign, and only campaign
issues were mentionediin the platform.
Therefore there is nothing in the views
expressed by you in the telegram just
received which would preclude man
entertaining them from accepting a
nomination on said platform. Reply
sent to Parker's telegram.
Ifthat is not declaration for the
gold standard then the meaning of
words has greatly changed in the
past week. But such must be the
case, for after reading the above the
versatile editor of one of the leading
Fusion organs of this state penned
the following remarkable bit of
literature:
'The defeat of the gold plank in the
platform perfected the declaration of
principles held dear by all true Demo-
Gratis and insures for the Democratic
column, the solid south and every
silver producing state in the union,
while its elimination will strengthen
rather than weaken the ticket even in
the states whose delegates voted for
its adoption"
That's rich, isn't it? Such an argyll
ment ought to ostracize it editorially
from the consideration of anybody
with wisdom enough to keep out OF
the bughouse.

During the last two weeks the ques-
ton Of the removal of the county seat
to Gardnerville has been revived, and
it is evident it will be an important

As an indication OF break in the
Democratic ranks this fall, particular
ly in the presidential vote, we cite
the instance of one of Alpine's pioneer
highly respected residents. Joe
Harvey, Kentuckian by birth and
a lifelong Democrat, received a COM
munication from the Hearst head
quarters in San Francisco relative to
forming a Hearst club in Alpine. In
respone Mr.. Harvey wrote that con-
ditions were not favorable, and that
he was the only Democrat left in that
neighborhood, and furthermore, no
earthly power would preventh i'm from
casting his first Republican ballot this
fall Theodore Roosevelt would be
his choice no matter who his party
nominated. And there are within our
knowledge, innumerable cases of
similar convictions in this county.

TELEGRAPH IS BEATEN.
London Newspaper Gives Readers
Speech n Minutes After Delivery
By Means of New Instrument.

England has grown so accustomed to
looking to the United States for marvels
of journalistic enterprise that London
ers find it difficult to realize that what
Is practically revolution in reporting
has been inaugurated by one OF their
own papers. A speech delivered by
Joseph Chamberlain in Birmingham re-
Gently was read in the London Daily
Mail exactly q minutes after it was de-
livered
By means of the electrophone 1t was
transmitted to the office OF the Daily
Mail, 113 miles distant, where 1t was re-
peated to staff of reporters, every word
being clearly heard. The speech was
printed verbatim and the paper was
selling on the streets in three minutes
less than half an hour after Mr. Cham
berlain had ceased speaking.
Telegraphic reports OF the same
speech arrived in London more than an
hour after the Daily Mail was on the
street.
The electrophone Is the invention Of
an Englishman. 1t Is claimed for 1t
that 1t marks the beginning Of new era
in certain branches Of newspaper work.
Though this was remarkable jour
nalistic feat, pointing to immensely use
full development Of the electrophone In
the future, that instrument is not yet
perfected for such purpose. When Mr..
Chamberlain was speaking straight be-
fore him his words were clearly audible,
but when he turned to one side they be-
came indistinct, and cheering and other
Interruptions from the audience blurred
them.
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke so minutes,
and his speech contained about 10000
words. Fifteen minutes after he spoke
his last word Of the speech 1t was in
type in London

RABIES SERUM BLINDS CATTLE
Misfortune Thought to Have Result.
ed from Inoculation OF Squirrels
to XIII Them OF.

Several months ago the University OF
California professors inoculated with
rabies serum the squirrels which in
tested the grain fields of Contra Costa
county. 1t was thought at the time
that the serum would prove harmful to
nothing but the squirrels. The expert
ment Of trying serum through these lit
tie animals at once proved successful,
and they died off by countless thou
sands. While the test was at first con-
fined to part of Contra Costa county,
the use Of the serum soon became gen.
eral throughout the farming region
northeast of Oakland.
The announcement is now made that
as result Of the serum tests cattle ara
going blind In Contra Costa county.
On one little ranch IL COWS have gone
blind. The owner believes his misfor-
tune is due to the squirrel test. The
farmers are afraid the horses may next
be infected.

RARE EGG CURIOSITY.
Interesting Fossilfzed Specimen in
Possession of University of
California.

A fossilized egg, preserved in hard
nodule, Is the rare curiosity which the
University of California geological de-
partment is now carefully examining
with the hope Of ultimately acquiring.
The interesting specimen has only one
other rival known on the Pacific coast,
and this IS now in the museum Of the
California Academy of Sciences. in San
Francisco. The new fossilized egg Is
said to have come from Arizona There
can be no mistake about the nature Of
the curiosity, as an expert examination
has revealed the fact that the delicate
shell has been perfectly preserved, even
to the fine pitting on the outside. The
specimen is about~the size Of an ordi-
nary hens egg, but little longer.

SPEECH WITHOUT WORDS.
Death of William Briggs, NJ. p, Re-
calls Notabfs Incident In the
House Of Commons.

With the death Of William Briggs
"Billy Briggs" a. he was affectionats-
ly called in the British house Of COM
mons-has passed away perhaps the
only man who ever made a speech IN
the house by dumb show only.
Briggs had the distinction, when
only % years old, Of capturing the seat
which John Morley lost, and early In
his career took an energetic stand on
the side of what were called the OBJ
structionists. On one occasion, after
firing nights debate, he rose at sis
o'clock in the morning to keep up the
debate. but he had lost his voice, and
not word was he able to utter. His
head wagged, and all the characteristic,
graphic picturesqueness of rhetorical
energy were there. His lips moved
with unwonted rapidity, but not a
sound came from them.
At first the house was startled. Then
the humor Of the situation manifested
itself. Members of both sides entered
into the fun and boisterous laughter
swept through the building. At every
point made by fingers or by the sweep
of the arm, volleys of cheers were sent
up, as though the enraptured audience
was drinking in eloquence Of the rarest
kind. 1t was one of the funniest scenes
ever enacted in the house of commons
Briggs was afterwards congratulated
for the novelty and success Of his meth
Cd of being obstructive without toe
much Of a strain on his physical
strength.
