WHY GIRLS
Leave HOME
The Attraction at the
Local Theatre To-
night

Why Girls Leave Home" will -
the attraction at the Carson Guy
Opera House this evening and COCA
crowd will be in attendance. The
play has been we'll received on the
Coast and the press notices are OF
the best.
The theme is taken from life, and
so handled that nature flows through
every part of it. The laugh, the tear,
the awesome suspense follow each
other alternately throughout, each
dominating the auditor in its own
impressiveness. The plot hinges upon
young girl who submits to the at
tentions of travelling statesmen, ag
ainst the wishes of her family. Her
elder brother in particular the man OF
the house, takes upon himself to rule
with rod of iron, to which she reso
lutely objects, and out of which grows
the denouement of the play. The
scenic embellishments are said to be
unusually attractive; the safe scene
in the second act being particularly
effective.
In speaking of the play the Virginii
Enterprise of this morning says: Tht
performance of ''Why Girls Leave
Home at the Opera House last nigh
was one of the best of the season

The Goldfe,d strike is at an end.
The backbone Of the Western FEEDER
alton in Nevada is broken. Next
Monday morning upon an equal basis
the miners OF the. world Will have a
fair chance to seek employment and
work unhindered in the treasure

dated has agreed to this and the once
great labor organization realizing
hat their cause is not just and that
defeat is certain have bowed TO the
inevitable and will issue notice that
each member must SHIFT for himself
abandoned to his fate at a time when
ne needs help most from the orsaniz
alton which has brought these weeks
Of suffering and want upon him.
The first news of this impending ac-
Ion was brought to Reno by Edward

jaw increases when, late at night,
you turn off the lamp and try TO
sleep?"

Light, you see, is good for the
toothache. There are a number OF
diseases It is good for-asthma, cold
In the head, earache. These diseases
In the dark all grow worse.
Darkness is good for a sick head
ache and for neuralgia and for nau-
sea. Haven't you noticed it?

day we prescribe them the same as
we do Quinine Of nux." New Orleans
