DEATH OF OLD RESIDENT

Word has been received in this city of
the death of George Irwin, property
owner in this valley, which occurred at
Atwood, Nevada, July 10. This week
E. A. Green, who lives on the Irwin
farm, received letter from the coroner
at Atwood that Irwin came to his death
as the result of premature explosion
in a shaft on the property of Irwin in
the Nye county camp. The letter. also
states that the remains were so badly
mutilated as to prevent shipping.
Mr.. Irwin was native of Ireland,
about 70 years of age. So far as is
known, he leaves no relatives. His
property here consists of $50 acres of
agricultural land east of the Henry
Baker farm. He had always expressed
a desire to be buried in the Yerington
cemetery, where he had purchased lot.
His estate will likely escheat to the

FASHION NOTES

Designs of carnations remain in
high favor for the decoration Of the
handsome rock crystal ware.
One of the frequent blends of color
seen in smart millinery is the ALI
ance of old pink and wine red, the
former appearing in ribbon. feathers
or roses against the dark foundation
tone.
When the waistcoats are lined with
fur, the fur is usually odds and ends
left from old coats.
Embroidered straps OF silk cross
the lace yoke at the shoulders on
some of the new silk blouses.
The sloping effect 6rom the shout
der continues. 1t is not beautiful,
but what is one to do?
The hat of green felt, with tropical
birds OF all hues and a full white
plume is stylish.
A unique fancy for the Ornamental
ton Of evening wraps is the use OF
the conventionalized beaks of eagles
or parrots in velvet or broadcloth ap-
pliQue about the fiat collar Of the
garment.
Dainty fans with Dresden shepherd
esses, Vatican scenes, or convention
al designs in ,spangles are exquisite,
and make charming gifts. Others are
OF Brussels lace with carved sticks
or delicately tinted old ivory.
The more dressy OF the pinafore
waists have an a11oVer net guimpe,
and the overwaist of silk is cut deep
at the neck and around the armholes
to display much Of the lace.
The uSs Of ermine without the lit
tie black tails which have hitherto
been the distinguishing feature Of
this costly fur is quite considerable
this season.

FOOD FOR srocK.

The German experiments upon cook
ed and uncooked foods for stock do
not show any clear evidence in favor
Of the former, and the process OF
steaming and other modes Of con-
vertfng dry materials into succulent
foods have never become popular
among practical farmers in England.
Some farmers are inclined to the be-
lief that too much value is placed up
on succulent food, as compared with
dry food for stock for meat produc-
ton; for milk production, especially
where quantity rather than quality
u the object, s1cculent food would
certainly have an advantage, but it is
doubtful whether one would produce
more butter-fat than the other.
