Kick on Paying Rent.

President + ". Jameson. of Ashton,
Iowa. called the meeting Of the fourth
class postmasters to order in odd Eel
lows Hall, and the meeting was imme-
diateIy ealivened by the kick Of some
of lhe delegates over the fact that they
had been forced to rent place to hold
their meetings.
II think It n shame" said one, chat
we, the employees OF the United States
Government, should have 10 rent a hall
in the National Capital in which to hold
our convention. There are plenty OF
free places here and they can be OBJ
tanned for us If the proper postal au-
thOrities are approached.
The motion that the president and
a committee wail upon the proper au-
thorities with a view to curtailing this
daily expense was carried with a
vengeance.
Approximately 10 fourth class post
masters have arrived up 10 this time,
numbers reaching the city from James
town ana other nearby points during
the morning.
The remaining two days of the session
will be devoted 10 an informal discus
sion Of various postal matters, slSnt-
seeing, and the election OF officers and
reports OF the committees

take him through the Coliseum and
show him that e can easily seat 12.6O0

buildings The result was that totally
unnecessary fire precautions were taken.
In the Coliseum this state of affairs re-

It is fortunate that the big men Of
New York understand the seriousness
of the situsio that Morgan and
Rockefeller have not been hit seriously
in the serious declines OF the last few
months, and that there is assurance in
their position and in the position Of the
New York clearing house banks.

break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a p: oper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is

BOYD BASIN CONTAINS
RICH GOLD DEPOSITS

WINNEMUCCA. New, Sept r.
G. \. Lane, who has just returned
from trip 10 southern Nevada, has
received word from his partner, z.
Brian at Boyd Basin. that very rich
ore is being encountered on their
property.
Messrs. Lane and Brian have a
group of claims there on which work
is going on steadily and the property
is fast developing into one of the
best gold propositions in the northern
section of Humboldt county.
The claims are situated on round
mountain at the base of the Pine
Forest range The property is be-
ing developed by shafts and a tun-
mel. A shaft forty feet deep has
developed a strong vein of high
grade gold ore. = long tunnel is be-
ing run into the hill to tap the main
ledge at great depth. 1t is in this
tunnel that the strike of rich ore was
made.
Not only is there a large quantity
of milling ore exposed. but some of
the finest specimens of free gold
brought to Winnemucca came from
this property.
Mr.. Lane will leave tomorrow for
camp with supplies. Development
will be pushed with the view of put
ting the property in shape for pro-
duction.-Humb oldt Star.

FREE LOVER SEEKS
ANOTHER AFFINITY
EARLE SENDS HIS SPOUSE BACK
TO FRANCE so HE MAY MAR
RY MISS CUTLER.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13-Ferdinand
Pinney Earle, artist and dilettante
has come into very unenviable noto.
riety recently by sending his wife
to France to get a divorce in order
Miss Julia Cutler of Bethlehem, Pa.
of whom he has become enamored.
While student in Paris Earle
married Miss Emily Fishbacker
daughter of c. G. Fishbacker, 80 Rue
de la Seine, March &c, 1903. One
child was born. The parents found
they were uncongenial. Earle went
abroad and met Julia Cutler of Beth
lehem, Pa, who, he discovered, was
his pre-ordained affinity. He told his
wife's father the facts, and it was
agreed that Mrs. Earle should return
to France and secure a divorce so
Earle could marry Miss Cutler.
Meantime Miss Cutler became Mrs.
Earle's guest and was to have gone
with Earle to bid her goodbye when
she sailed on the Rhyndam, Septem-
Der 4th, for Europe to get her di-
vorce. The neighbors of the Earles
at Monroe, n. Y, were so incensed
and made such threats that it was
thought best Miss Cutler should not
go. But Mr.. Earle was at the pier.
Mrs. Earle said she was perfectly
satisfied with the arrangement.
Earle has not yet returned to his
home at Monroe, but when he does
go home his neighbors promise to
give him a lively reception, in which
tar and feathers are mentioned.

WESTERN PACIFIC
IS CLOSING GAPS

Grading for the main line of the
Western Pacific has been commenced
in close proximity to Winnemucca
both east and west. One outfit of
graders is now throwing up the road
bed in the Pascal field, short dis
lance east of the Humboldt river
bridge, this work being preliminary
to beginning construction of the
bridges at this place. Another out
fit is at work west of town, near the
old racetrack.
The spur track from the Southern
Pacific line to connect with the West
ern acific at this place is fast near
ing completion. AS soon as the track
is in readiness and engines and cars
can be used there will be an immense
lot of work going on both east and
west of Winnemucca.
Piles have arrived for the tempo
rary bridges which are to be erected
so that work can be rushed.
The low hills west of the cemetery
will be cut down and the dirt and
gravel used for making the big fill
through the river bottom near town.
At this place the Illinois Construc-
ton company has a large crew of
men at work making the cement
tubes for the culverts. Already a
large lot of these pipes have been
made and are being hauled out over
the line.
The line is pretty well covered
with graders between Golconda and
this place. With the exception of a
few miles near town the grading is
practically finished from Winnemuc-
ca west to Sawtooh Star.
