freight blockade by the odd reliable
mule The Reno Journal says:
Two large freight trains consisting
of four wagons and twenty mules left
this city yesterday morning loaded
with whiskey and merchandise for
Goldfield. The teams were under the
direction of R. A. Monicure and may
make regular trips between Goldfield
and Reno. Two large mule teams
loaded with freight for the great gold
country left this city several days ago
and from now on a large part of the
freight for Tonopah and Goldfield
will be hauled there by mule teams
Mr.. Monicure says that he may not
use the teams between Reno and
Goldfield, but may haul freight be
tween Tonopah and the new mining
district.
The teams were heavily loaded II
this city, but at Gardnerville a load t!
hay will be added. Hay is selling
for 800 per ton at Goldfield and a

FALLON, New. Dec. 12-H. G.
Lawrence, convicted of attempt to
murder and under sentence OF four
teen years, came very close to max

all that prevented it, The prisoner,
with the assistance of Tim Shea, in
dicted for assault to murder. had
sawed a hole two feet square from
his cell. The shakes on his legs were
all but severed and were it not for
the fact that the prisoner was called
into the Sheriff's Office for consul

The discovery was made by Dep

Tonopah Club, the biggest gambling
house in the camp, was robbed OF
$1,000 last evening and it was several
hours after the crime had been com
mitted before the loss was discovered
Some one had tunneled beneath the
building a distance Of nearly 800 feet,
sawed an opening through the floor
directly beneath the chair occupied
by the lookout of the faro game and
ing reached up and took the treasure
box, containing the surplus bank roll.
Then with equally as much skill and
nerve the daring fellow crawled back
and to freedom and there is no clue
to his identity
The crime was carefully planned
Everything goes to show that the en-
tire scheme had been figured out to a
nicely by some one who made it
point to study the surroundings. The
hole beneath the lookout's chair
could not have been better if the dis
lance had been measured with a tape
line
The faro game gets a heavy play
at the Tonopah Club. Frequently it
loses and to insure a good bank roll
at all times the extra money is kept
in q box beneath the lookout's chair
The officers were notified as soon
as the crime was committed and so
far as known are stu without a clue.

To "Know thyself' is to take adj
Vantage of life's secrets and equip
ones self with an armor which will
successfully resist the attack of dis
ease in the battle of life. The old
idea of fate or "kismet," and that
person always dies when his time
comes,is nowexploded. Every mech
anism, whether made by God or
man, has definite amount of wear,
and its life can be heightened or
shortened, according to the care that
Is given it. If accident or careless
ness destroys the works of the watch
or the human mechanism an end
comes to its usefulness, but it has
not actually worn out" Mans sys-
tenn at times gets rusty like the
wheels OF the watch and only needs
a little cleaning and oiling to put it
in shape for LIES battles. The watch
will sometimes stand a lot of hard
usage before it will refuse to go, but
for long life it must have the care
and watchfulness of a person who
understands it.
Know thyself," is an old Greek
proverb that it is wise to follow to-
day. That is why it is important for
every one to understand the human
mechanism. A good way is to read
one of the many doctor books, which
are easily procured nowadays. A
good one is THE Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" book con-
tanning 1908 pages, which is almost
given away. Send 2I one-cent stamps
for expense OF mailing only, for the
book in paper covers, or 81 stamps
for the volume bound in cloth. Ad-
dress DR.. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, NY.
DO NOT SAP THE SPRINGS OF LIFE
by neglect of the human mechanism
by allowing the accumulation of poi
sons in the system; this is the most
frequent gateway for the germs of
disease to find an entrance to the
body. First get the poisons out f.; OBJ

physician today. Have you ever
noted that when you are feeling i'll
and call in a physician the first thing
he gives you is mild laxative !?
Afterward he is ready to treat the
symptoms as they occur. The on
coming fever or sickness is then met
with the proper medicines, but first
of all the wise doctor gets rid of the
accumulated poison by the use of
mild laxative, Such a one is DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which
come in neat little walls and are war
ranted to be entirely vegetable and
harmless to the system If the per-
son does not pick up very soon
and feels the lack of vitality, energy

and look for an "all-round" tonic to
restore tone to the general system,

CURED for the blood. Instead of a
cod liver oil, against which the al
ready sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has paci-
flying action upon the sensitive stom-
ach and gives to the blood the food
elements the tissues require. 1t
maintains ones nutrition by ena-
bling him to eat, retain, digest and
assimilate nutritious food. 1t over
comes gastric irritability and symp-
toms of Indigestion, and in this way
fever. night-sweats, headaches, ETC.,
are done away with.
PHYSICAL FORCE AND SUCCESS DEPEND
UPON ONES NERVE RESERVE.
What vital forces can be used or
the busy man command when the
critical hour arrives? Has he stay
ing power SO that when the golden
moment of opportunity comes he
can for the time being do double
work or quadruple work, and SO
creep on to fame and fortune? If
not, in the hour of his greatest need
he will encounter failure instead of
success. The equipment which man
has to fill a position very often de-
ponds upon the nerves and the stom-
ach. A man may be all right, only
he has not stomach enough. The
nerves must be fed on rich, red blood,
and the stomach must take up nour-
ishment from the food eaten to sup
ply the blood with the elements it
requires. Do not use a cocktail or
a tonic which contains alcohol, for
it will surely shrivel up the little
blood corpuscles and eventually pro-
duce Indigestion and mal-nutrition.
No matter how powerful the intel
lect or the resources of intellectual
power, it must be backed TIP by phys
ical force. Every day the youth or
man must manufacture pint of rich,
arterial blood, that is pure, stirnu-
lating to the brain, and that can re-
build the tissues that were destroyed
in yesterdays work.
The safest blood maker and
strength builder and digestion cor
receive is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery. 1t has stood the test
of time and is restorative tonic
that can be depended upon. 1t has
soothing effect upon the throat
and will allay a cough quicker than
any so-called cough mixture, at the
same time building UP the consti-
tuition instead of spelling the diges-
ton and injuring the constitution, as
do most cough syrups.
