GRAND ARMY NURSES.

Probably no women of the various
Grand Army organizations will receive
a heartier welcome from the old SOL
diers TIN the members of the Associa-
tion Of Army Nurses. Every soldier
has a warm place in his heart for these
women, who so bravely and nobly cared
for them. many of them going out into
the battlefield among the shot and shell
to nurse the injured and diving. Every
year finds some of these women missing
when the roll is called.
The nurses are staying in different
places, with general headqua rters in the
Y. w. C. A. They have nearly all ar
rived in the city now and it was an
interesting and touching sight to lis
ten to the greetings.
When one old lady arrived. bent and
feeble, there was a chorus of exelam-
ations &. IA. -....- ~. - ~--, -.
"Why, Aunt Beckie, We heard that
you had died. -....... 49,
"Aunt Beckie' replied briskly, " No
indeed, not just yet. I have been sick,
but ] determined to come to the en-
camp cnt once more and see the boys
and girls - She is Mrs. Beckie Young
of Iowa.
The nurses had meeting late this
afternoon. 1t will be followed by a
banquet at the Commercial club.
1t is expected that Mrs. Clarissa
T. Dyer, the senior vice president. will
be elected the next national president
of the association. Just who the other
officers will be it is too early to tell.

GIRLS FROM COLORADO.

The fourth section of the western
train of the Omaha road came in early
carrying the Colorado delegation
headed by George w. Cook Of
Denver, senior vice commander, who
is mentioned for grand commander. L. C.
Dana, department commander; Mrs.
Ruth Foote of Denver, national presi-
dent of the L. of the G. A. R., and her
secretary, Mrs. Ross, were on the train.
With the Colorado delegation is the
famous Cook Drum corps and band of
eighty pieces. and the Girls Zouave
Drill squad of twenty-three girls. The
band and drill squard were the signal
for an enthusiastic outbuTst of ap-
plause as they marched into the West
hotel lobby. The drill squad in
natty red and white zouave CO.'S
tune marched ahead under the
command of Lieutenant Mabel Wallick,
and formed a long line across the lobby
standing at attention as the band and
drum corps under the command of Cap
tain Wayne Abbott followed. The
veterans cheered and clapped their
hands and the Denver aggregation, was
allowed to go only after it had played
a number of stirring airs.
The hand will appear in concerts dur
ing the encampment and the drill squad
will give exhibition drills every day.
The girls are well drilled and are most
attractive and fetching in the striking
costumes. They have a permanent or
ganization and are under the command
of Captain Abbott who is also drum
major of the band.

The Massachusetts women have on
their badge pretty picture Of Provi-
dence spring at Andersonville, Ca, and
the delegates like to tell the story of
the origin of the spring. During the
terrible days of Andersonville the
union prisoners were often denied food
and drink. The thirsty men prayed for
water, and as they would pray for their
salvation and in answer to their pray
ers terrific thunderstorm left within
the stQckade a pool Of water. When

spring as a monument, and it is this
monument which the Massachusetts,

Form and System.
"When community has met with a

form and system and waiting until
there is need so much as it is a labor
Of love and a giving to those who need.
1t, as the days pass by, it is possible
to sift the really needy from those who
only simulate need, it is well and good
that such a system should be installed
but when there are thousands on the
field who are actually hungry, ingenui-
ty, initiative and ability prompt the
really active charitable work toward

risings, water and -four, and the bak-
Bread is the staff Of life, and it is that

the hungry were fed, and if after all
the work was finished, there remained

supply was either stored against the
coming of another famine or moved on
to some other field where need predom-
mated.

field of calamity is essentially labor
of love, and it is that which distin.
guished the work Of the Red Cross fol-
many years and in many lands, and ii
this work that Minneapolis flour has Sc
frequently contributed. Giving away

Illinois Two Candidates.
The Illinois delegation brought with
it two candidates for national presi-
dent, Mrs. Amanda Brown and Mrs.

nior vicepresident. Mrs. Brown has
been an avowed candidate for some
by the department. It is not expected
that Mrs. Brown will be elected, and
the presentation of her name is merely
preliminary to vigorous campaign
which will be waged next year. Mrs
Sine's nomination is in the nature of
compliment, as her friends feel that
her years of service entitle her to re-
ceive public recognition in this way.
Mrs Sine does not expect for a moment
she cannot fail to be hattered by the
nomination.

Big BOOM In
ELY REALTY
Many Lots Sold Last Week for
Good Fisures...GoIdfield Men
Will Erect Two Handsome
Business Blocks

The real estate market Oh lily
is certainly simmering, if not
coming to u boiling point. This
does not mean that in recent
sales of Main street lots, they
have in the opinion of many,
reached their true value, and
that all the opportunities for
profitable investment are gone.
Still the increase in value in
the price of the very choicest
Main street lots, over that Of orc
month ago, is in some cases,
more than 100 per cent, Tie
real cause of such advance in
prices, lies in the fact that the
stage is daily bringing in a class
of monied men, who appreciate
that choice Main street lot in u
town of such a future as Ely, is
worth, on the most conservative
basis, several thousand dollars,
These men have backed up their
convictions by paying such sums,
which is the best evidence of
such convictions.
Most Of these new corners are
among the most successful men
of Goldfeld and Tonopah. They
are eXperien ced, and like all sue
cessful men, are looking ahead
several months to Il time when
Ely will be a prosperous town OF
at least 5000 inhabitants.
One Of these farsighted, ener-
getic Goldfeld business men, is
Andy Fessler, we'll known all
oyer the state for his success in
Goldfeld realty investments.
Last week Mr.. Fessler paid
$500 for two inside lots in Block
l.. This price somewhat amazed
many Of the old timers, as the
same property sold on an option,
80 days ago for $500.
Mr.. Fessler does not buy these
lots as q speculation, but intends
at the very earliest moment, to
erect thereon substantial two
story stone business block, which
he says he will make rival in
beauty of construction, the hand
some Fessler block of Goldtield.
Our worthy townsmen, Mr.
Sims as most of the new
Corners call him, is developing
into a real estate broker Of no
mean proportions. (This can be
taken literally or fguratively)
a couple of months ago, he took
an option on the Shallenberger
lots, two in number, in Block +,
on Il five years lease, with an
option to purchase, at Il price OF
S6000-and which at the time,
seemed about as wild as any deal
ever made in the county. This
lease called for a monthly rental
of S25 per month. This lease
he turned last week to Fletcheg
and Grant, of Goldtield, also
successful real estate men of
that boom camp, at $500 cash,
or, as some of Sim s friends sad,
for a roll of bank bills about
the size of the hub OF a circus
wagon wheel While this price
may seem high, upon sober coli
sideration, most of the ciGIzeas
of the town have figured that
maybe Sims did Mt get the big
end of it after all. Messrs. |
Fletcher & Grant are simply in
vestors, and intend also to imme-
diately erect a business block
upon their newly acquired prop
erty.
Ely is to be congratulated upon
securing such a class Of resident,
and as these GoldGeld men have |
a considerable following, no
