The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being constitutional di-
sease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and CIV
ing the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro
prietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
tails to cure. Send for list OF testi-
monials.

ChamberIan's Cough Remedy the Best Made.

"In my opinion Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is the best made for
colds" says Mrs. Cora Walker, of
Porterville, California. There * no
doubt about its beng the best. No
other will cure cold so quickly.
No other is so sure preventative of
pneumonia. No other is so pleasant
and safe to take. These are good
reasons why it should be preferred
to any other. The fact is that few
people are satisfied with any other
after once having used this remedy.

THE Bishop Register, in quite a
lengthy article some weeks ago,
advocated change of boundary
line between California and Ne
vada which would put Inyo, AL
pine and Mono counties into Ne
vada. The Register is published
in Inyo county, and undoubtedly
voices the sentiment of the peo-
pie of that county on this subject.
The Chronicle U Mon, published in
Mono county, reproduced the ar
ticle of the Register and comedies
with the idea. These California
counties naturally belong to Ne
vada. They are on this side of
the Sierras, and the interests of
their people are more closely iden-
tilted with Nevada than with Cali
fornia. 1t being the wish of the
people of these California counties
to become residents of Nevada. the
Legislature now in session should
by resolution present the matter
to Nevada's United States Senators
and Representative in Congress
and have them get action as soon
as possible to see if a change of
boundary line cannot be accom-
plished.

WILL THEY COMPROMISE =?

AS will be seen by the article
on irrigation on the first page OF
this issue the government has set
aside 100000 from the national
irrigation and reclamation fund to
begin the work of establishing a
storage and irrigation system for
the Walker River basin. 1t will
also be noticed that there is a
proviso in this appropriation which
will make it obligatory upon all of
the ditch and land owners of this
section to settle their difficulties
so far as the ownership of water is
concerned before any of the money
shall be spent. This means that
all lawsuits will have to be decided
or called off before work begins,
so it lies with the water users in
this district to say how long they
shall be without an irrigation sys-
tenn.
Over ninety per cent. of the
ditch owners of this valley and
Smith Valley have already signed
a petition agreeing to deed their
water rights to the government,
in lieu of which they are to re-
ceive water from the government
system, when completed, sufficient
to irrigate all the land they now
have under cultivation and can
show they have used water on for
consistent irrigation. 1t is stated
that Miller & Lux have also
signed the petition. This being
the case, there seems to be no use
in prolonging the lawsuit now in
the courts between Miller & Lux
and the people. The appropria-
ton of 100000 is but small
amount, but it is enough to start
with, and when once started the
project will be carried to COM
pletion as soon as possible and
other appropriations made. The
prior right question should cut no
figure in the matter, for when the
reservoir and canals are built every
farmer will have water the year
around for all the land he
has under cultivation when the
government surveys and measures
it, and 100 acres more if he chooses
to buy that much more water.
This would be a better right than
any man or corporation now has
on the Walker River as matters
stand today. From the time that
the government would turn back
the water to individual owners
there would never be occasion for
a lawsuit to decide who was en-
titled to water, or how much he
should have. 1t is now to be
hoped that Miller & Lux and the
people will drop all suits and
give the government a chance to
go ahead with this much needed
enterprise.

the WEEKLY PAPER.
What A Large Daily Newspaper Says OF the
Country Weekly Newspaper.

/ liz Odhloho llOohN hlAN w
lusa Sun recently had some sort of
controversy about the true prov
ince of the weekly newspaper.
What the particular bone of con-
tention was is of no moment, but
it related to the prophecies of ru-
raj editing, such as, for example,
the merits of garden truck versus
cash for a subscription and "tak-
ing it out in trade "for advertise
ments. With the embattled edi-
tors of Oakland and Colusa,
however, we have no concern.
But for the country weekly we
have only warm admiration.
The bearer of burdens, the trav-
eler along the way of the cross,
the agent of progress, the COM
munity's good Samaritan-all this
is the country editor.
These are big phrases, we know,
but we also know their truth.
They will sound strange to every
man in the country town, and he
will pick up his local paper and
wonder if its editor be all we have
characterized him.
There is no man who does more
for his town with less reward than
the country editor. He belongs
not to your dreamer. He is a
doer He has long ago, probably
very long ago, clipped the vaulting
wings of his ambition-if he ever
had any-and is content to do the
thing that lies next to him, and
that is the noblest conception of
duty.
He is sower. Others reap.
This one and that one he lifts up,
and they from their dizzy post of
petty honor forget the hand that
placed them there. But he does
not forget, and maybe some day
the reckoning comes, for our
brother, mind you, is thoroughly
human. Sometimes he jokes, in
play fashion, and men and women
find in his humor cause for heart
soreness and dire plannings.
Then comes rending and it would
seem as if the time for dissolution
to the dying had come. But the
brave warrior writer fights his
way out, and the old Washington
press, emblem of liberty and pur-
suit of trouble, still grinds out the
edition.
Promoters 60 not his way, un-
less they are "wildcatters," ready
to exchange several thousand
shares on a handsomely printed
certificate for advertising space.
The attacks on Standard Oil do
not bother him, neither does he
care when the ripe time has come
to sell Amalgamated. Bookkeep-
ing is no bane to him. When
Christmas comes if he has a few
dollars the year has been prosper
Gus. His pocket is his bank ac-
count and it is generally over
drawn.
Here's to you, sons of the craft,
in every town of 800 or over, where
your good influence prevails. We
know you and we believe in you.
We know that the jokes about the
editorial wood pile are not always
so funny as they were intended.

sentative vouchSafe kindness to

roo MUCH MONEY.

A New York paper, which professes to know what 1t is talking about. says that John D. RockefelIer's income Is now six million dollars q month. Of course no man can need or use that sum, and the only use for 1t is to swell his present immense fortune. He is said to be worth very nearly or quite one billion of dollars--a sum so im- mense that we can form little concep- ton of 1t. If all of 1t were in silver dollars and laid side by side they would come very near reaching around the earth.
 What can he do with 1t? and what good does it do him? He cannot spend it. and 1t is difficult to see how 1t can add to the rational enjoyments Of life. A small fraction of 1t would purchase all and everything he can possibly find use for, or put to any good purpose. If ho should suddenly lose ninetenths of it he would still be rich man, and would have more money than he would need. All that he can do, and about all that he does do, is to wear out his life looking after his immense inter. ests, guarding against loss, and trying to ind some way to invest his profits so as to add still more to his already overwhelming and unwieldy fortune. When he wears himself out and prob ably dies of premature old age his great wealth will avail him nothing, and will probably cause litigation, con- tention and dissatisfaction among those who are left behind. The prayer of Agur-"Givs me neither poverty nor riches" would not strike this man as a good one, but 1t is. The man of mod crate wealth@ss better off than is one who cannot count his riches.

plurality. and 1t need surprise no enc if they find by their own process that Adams was never elected. We may expect almost anything from the crowd now conducting the alleged lnyestisa- tien. They may unseat Adams end seat Peabody. even though the latter should decline to take an active part in the business.
 The Colorado vote furnished one of the many anomalies of the late cleo ton. Adams had nearly 23,000 more votes than the highest Parker elector. and the Republicans try to make it appear that these votes were fraudu- lent, but they are confronted bt the fact that Peabody ran 2l,Ooo votes be- hind the highest Roosevelt elector, so the plea of fraud fails to account for the result. The plain explanation is that many Republicans who voted for Roosevelt shifted to Adams for Govern or for some reason. That is the only way to account fir 1t.

CAN TF BE sUPPRrssrDg

The Chicago Journal is decidedly in earnest and positive in its comments on the evils of the cigarette habit, and declares that ''the cigarette makers are crime makers and vice makers and death makers. They are htIllng this eenntSy with a poisoned, insane oSiml- nal class. which, if its progress is not soon checked, wtli rot awAy tue fabric cf society. They are public enemaes and should be treated as such"
 This ls Q pEeS$y seVere indictment, but The Sournal Cstss quito a number of instances in suppovt of it's views. and if they are not absolutely con- Vinctng they certainly form a strong argument against the habit.
 And, yet, how Is cigarette smoking to be stopped? It may be made a crime to sell the articles, or to manu- fracture them for sale. but that is not a preventive of their use. Suppose it were made a crime to sell a cocktail, could not the man who wanted one make 1t for himself and drink 1t # he could always get the ingredients? When a man or boy can get the smoking tobacco, and can procure suitable paper at almost any statloners, will he not roll his own ''cofin nails" and use them7 It may be that if their sale could be absolutely prohibited and pre- vented less of them would be used, but no law that we can imagine can pre- vent the evil. That 1t is hurteul, espe- cilly to boys, is beyond dispute, just as are many other habits which the law cannot prevent Parents. teachers and guardians may reduce the practice, but we cannot hope for it's suppression by law.

THE TOBACCO DUTY,

A New York tobaeconist who is in- terested in home production, protests against the proposed lowering of the duty on Philippine tobacco because 1t will injure the American producers. This leads The Toronto Sun to say: Here we have the pervading fallacy of proteetionism. The interest of the consumer is always left out of sight, that of the prodcuer alone Is consid- cred; as though production had any object but consumption, or consump- tion had any interests but quality and nheapness."
 That Is putting the whole matter in q very few words. The New Yorker is arguing in the interests of an almost infnitesimal fraction of the American people. Tobacco may not really be one of the nseessaTiss of life, but It's consumption is almost universal and a large proportion of the American pso- pie would cut out part of their daily food rather than be deprived of their tobacco. This being true, ana as men will buy the weed, it follows that a high tarin works a real hardship on the consumers. As many people do not know how high the tarifr on this ar- ticls is we give the duties on 1t. On stemmed cigar wrappers the duty is s2.5o per pound; if unstemmed, Sl.sS; on all other leaf, stemmed 1t is 50 cents per pound. and If unstemmed. s5 cents, all ad valorum. This makes the av- craze tariff on imported tobacco $I.sO per pound. and this is what American consumers pay as bonus to home pro- ducers. The Toronto paper Is correct when it sags that "the interest of the consumer Is always left out of sight"

 Baby in . Basket Makes Itself Heard. Winsted (Conn.) Special
 Many persons living here have cus- tom of putting their babies out of doors to sleep, thinking the air makes them stronger and healthier.
 Edmund Angel, employed by the Winsted Steam Laundry, stopped his horse in front of St. James's rectory, on Main Street, this morning to collect the family washing of the Rev. s. Wolcott Ldnsiey
 Seeing a covered basket on the front veranda and thinking 1t contained soil ed linen for the laundry, young Angell picked it up. placed it in the sleigh with the other washing and started on.
 He had not gone far, however, be- fore he heard yelling resembling a baby's cries. The horse was stopped, and the driver quickly discovered that the cries were human and came from the basket he had taken from the rector's porch.
 Raising the soft blankets which cov- cred the basket, Angell found the in- fant son of the Rev. Mir. Linsley
 He hastened back to the rectory with the basket containing John Chauneey Wolcott Linsley and ex- changed 1t for the basket with the washing.

ON OUR PLATFORM.


 It is somewhat amusing to the old State Rights Democrats down here to note how the Republicans frequent Iy ind themselves advocating our views. For example. Senator John c. Spooner, of Wisconsin is a typical Re- publican. He was Union soldier and doubtless thought that Southern doc- trines and beliefs were about the limit of political viilainy. And yet, In a xecent Speech on the Statehood bills he found himself forced to come over to our side. Opposing the proposition tc prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks in the new States, as a condi- ton of their admission, he declared that Congress had no right to grant privileges of one class and not of an- other. and that the Federal Govern meat has no right to discriminate against or in favor of any class of of- fences If Congress could control the sale of liquor 1t could also control the offence of burglary" was the way he put #,
 Going farther, and alluding to the subjeet Of polygamy, he contended that Utah fought not to have been admitted into the Uuion, but once admitted on an equality with other States, Congress has no more power to deal with polyg- amy than 1t has to deal with burglary thsre." We shall not argue with him as to whether Utah should or should not have been admitted into the Union. but on the general principle of the right of State to regulate and con- tTol its own affairs Mir. spooner ad- heres to the good old Democratic doc trine. just as all intelligent men must do if they believe in the republican adAa and theory Of Qovernment.

 London Truth.
 Whatever may be thought of the governmental system that prevails In Russia. there can be no question that the grand dukes are 8 curse. Their number is enormous. and they form a sort of private council of the czaF. Many of them are given important mil itary and civil posts, when they either look to their own personal interests or meddle and muddle, to the great in- jury of the country.
 The grand duke commanding the Rus sian army during the last Russo-Turk- ish war was mixed up in many dirty monetary scandals connected with that army. Some Of the grand dukes seem to have done their best to pro- yoke the present war with Japan be- cause they were connected with Ko- rean concessions. The Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral of Russia, is, ac- cordipg to all accounts, an ignorant, conceited person. and to him the losses inflicted on the Russian navy have been largely due. The Grand Duke Serge, the Governor of Moscow, is ao- cused of having pocketed money col- lected to afford some comforts to Rus sia's sick and wounded soldiers, and the entire gang. it would seem, has been~urging the cZar to hold fast by his autocracy.
 came across the following descrip- tion of them in an Italian paper, from one of it's foreign correspondents: The grand dukes may be divided into three classes--the vicious, the ambitious and the respectable nonen- titles. The first spend. Their life is largely spent in Paris and fashionable European watering places. They are fast flyers, with no sense of self-re- spect. They publicly adore cocottes, frequent restaurants and are a dis credit to their country and an evil ex- l ample to the Russian arlstocracy. The second are, with few exceptions, even bent on sharing power with the czar. They are given important civil and military posts for which they are un- l fitted, and they use the into rob. They are an absolute curse to their country The third are harmless. but expensive, for they all manage to draw large amounts from the public exchequer." With a strong, determined esar like Nicholas I. all these grand dukes are kept in some sort of order and control. With a weak, well meaning man like | the present czar they manage not only to get their own way, but to exercise a baneful influence over him- What they cost their country, not only di- rectly. but indirectly. must be enorm- ous.

Evidently the President shot of his congratulations too soon in the Mis- souri Senatorial affair. When Med ringhaus had been nominated by the two houses acting separately, and 1t was supposed that the joint copvention would elect him at once, the Pkesident hastened to send his congratulations to the man with the long name.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
\ CURE FOR ALL.
Not a Patent Cure-aII, Nor a Modern Miracle, But Simply g Rational
 Cure for Dysnenaia,


 In these days of humbuggery and de- ceptjon, the manufacturers Of patent medicines, as a rule, seem to think their medicines will not sell unless they claim that it will cure every disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They are sure to claim that their nostrum is absolutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and he need look
 In the face of these absurd claims it Is refreshing to note that the propTle- tors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have carefully refrained from making any undue claims of false representations regarding the merits of this most ex ? cellen tremedy for dyspepsia and stoIn- ach troubles, They make but one claim for, it, and that is. that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuart's $ Dyspepsia Tablets Is a radical cure. They so no further than this, and any man or woman suffering from indiges tion. chronic or nervous dyspepsia, whO VIII give the remedy a trial will find that nothing is claimed for 1t that the facts will not fully sustain.
 It Is a modern discovery. composed of harmless vegetable ingredients accept able to the weakest or most delecate stomach. It's great success in curing stomach troubles Is due to the fact tha { the medicinal properties are such that 1t will digest whatever wholesome food is taken into the stomach, no matter whether the stomach is In good work ing order or not.
