The Wind storm.

Thursday morning ushered in
the severest wind storm that
has visited this section in a great
many years. Outhouses were
toppled over, the telephone line
put entirely out of commission
and the STANDARD Office made to
look like a hell box. The dust
and sand were binding and
came in such clouds as to render
certain parts of the day as dark
as night. A chicken house was
picked up by the gale and car
ried for quite a distance. At the
time, it was full of fowl but
other than the loss of a few tail
feathers the occupants escaped
without serious injury. VIM.

IN REAL ESTATE

Acres Of Choice Real Estate
in Verplank's Addition.

Yesterday the largest deal yet
consummated in Fallon realty
was closed between c. w. ver-
plank and w. B. Wyirick. By
its. terms W. B. Wyirick becomes
The s.:ss owner of five acres of land
in verplank's Addition to Fal-
Ion. Mr.. Wyirick will at once
have the land surveyed and sub
divided into town lots.
This land is situated in the
southern portion of the town
and is regarded as being most
desirable for business and resi-
dence purposes. The lots ad-
joining this land have found a
ready sale, nearly ali of them
having been disposed of in the
past few weeks. The trend of
business seems to be heading in
that direction and the land
borders on TIE old county road
leading out of Fallon.
Mr.. Wyirick is a live, wide
awake, yet conservative. man
and his purchase lends a color
as to the future of Fal1on that
cannot go unnoticed. Fallon,
within the next few months,
will begin to assume metropoli-
tan airs and an investment at
the present time in real estate
will net a handsome profit to
the investor.

If You Have dyspepsia, Read This

The old way OF taking pepsin, bisnuth, etc..
to cure dyspepsia is all wrong. They may be
put up in tablets or in liquid, the result is just
the same. The object is to create artificial di-
gestion, but this does not make cure. Stop
taking the pepsin, etc, and you have your dy-
spepsia Indigestion back again. People use
cocaine or opium for nervous troubles and sick
headache it does not cure, stop taking the
drugs and the pain and distress return. The
only Common Sense Method is TO drive out OF
the system the cause OF dyspepsia and sick
headache, by cleansing the stomach and bow
els, at the same time using medicine that will
act on the liver. This forces through the glands
OF the stomach the digestive fluid that nature
intended. In this way you cure dyspepsia. The
medicine that cures dyspepsia by this method
is called DR.. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills.
Druggists sell these pills at 25c. per box. It
only takes one pill for dose. For sale by ].
