PERSONALITY OF THE DAY.

Human beings are not the only ones
to possess personality Many homes
possess it; certain holidays have it.
All homes and ali holidays should have
it, says the Tonopah Sun.
The tears of the north and south
washed out all traces of anger. and
in its place came reverence for the
dead of both sides, bu both the north
and south. Soon there grew ~ a
great thankfnlness that the union hal
been saved And now, forty-three
years afterwards, that feeling has al
most grown into one of sacred joy. the
national spirit of secure and glorious
unity.
And vet, each american h9iiday has
a very different meaning, anG thai
meaning is deeply enough rooted in
mems feelings with real sentiment N
these days. Not that a baseball game
is not the same as the Fourth Of
July as one on Memorial day, and the
realization Of that day first cones t.
him, his feeling is very different from
his waking thoughts on the Fourth of
July or Christmas or Thanksgiving.
And all through the day, no matter
how iovial the festivities there comes
tc him from time to time, feeling of
the Significance of the day, ana while
it may be fitting, is felt in the still,
secret chamber that lies very near his
soul.
The word reverend. perhaps best
fits the Significance of Memorial day.
At first il might seem that 'tsorrow y
were the right word, but it is not at
ALL Where sorrow is caused by any
event that is truly worth feeling deep
grief over, it soon gives away to some.
thing far more exaulted. Sorrow is
very shallow thing beside reverence
And yet, even reverence, does not OK
press the deepest depth of feeling for
Memorial day. Reverence for the
bravery and self sacrifice of the DAYS
Of the Civil war has begotten even a
nobler feeling-the inspiration of the
knowledge that ones highest privilege
IS to do likewise. if ever we are called
upon.

HEAVY JUNE SNOW
STORM

The storm that had been expected to
visit this part of the continent for the
past two weeks, arrived last Wednes-
day morning, and early risers in Win
nemucca found the ground covered
with three inches of snow. The pre-
cipitation in the form of rain and
snow continued throughout the day
and evening, ending in a total preci-
pitation of IA one hundredths of an
inch, something unprecedented for this
time of the year, even in the minds of
the oldest inhabitants.
The storm which broke over Win
nemucca has been centering around
Salt Lake for two weeks, and the snow
fall in that ciey the early part of last
week was so heavy that it broke down
the tents of the Sells Floto circus as
it was preparing to give an exhibition
there.
Reports from Elko county are that
the snowfall there was heavier than
in Humboldt county which insures
plenty of water for irrigation purposes
in the Humboldt river.
The dawage to growing crops by
the storm has been over estimated.
There was no freezing weather with
the storm.

RENO WILL VOTE ON
LIQUOR QUESTION

At a meeting of the city council
in Reno last Monday, the petition OF
the nti-Gambling League, demanding
that the question of licensed gambling
in Reno be submitted to vote, was
granted, and October 4th was the day
set for the holding of the election.
In every manner possible this issue
has been avoided by the City Council
The first petition presented was turn
ed down on technical grounds and
the second was sought to be treated
in the same manner but il was found
to comply with the legal requirements
in such cases. The city attorney 50
informed the city council, and when
it was found that the law compelled
them to do so the members voted 10
submit the question to the people fof
decision.
From now until October cath there
will be a lively struggle between the
two factions and in Reno it will pro
badly assume an aspect of importance
eclipsing that of any general elections
held there.

WAS THE PANIC SINCERE?

Thomas w. Lawson and several pro-
minent bankers are of the opinion that
it was merely a scheme of the inter
ests to gain control of sertain stocks.
Mr.. Lawson in recent article in the
Pandex advises people to withdraw
their savings accounts and buy good
stocks, that is, stocks that are paying
dividends. This goes to show that
money is never so scarce that swe
should hoard it. A good interest bear
ing investment is always safe. There
are, of course, various other kinds of
investments. A dollar invested in
sound healthy amusement is never
wasted. As in stocks the public is
not always able to judge between the
good and the bad form of amusement,
being deceived by a great amount OF
advertising When such company as
the Majestic Theater company comes

CRIPPLE CREEK MAN
PRAISES SEVEN TROUGHS

Probably one Of the most enthusi-
astic men that has come out of the
Seven Troughs district after an inves-
tigation is r. NJ Lesher, general
manager of the Treasure Vault Mines
and Milling company, of Cripple Creek
Colorado. He is now in Salt Lake
closing up the details of transac-
tion that gives him the lease and bond
ON the Red Top group of claims in the
Seven Troughs district, and from
which he declares it will be possible
to take out the purchase price of $780,
900 in no time.
~ went over there said Mr.. Les
her ito make an examination of the
properties for Colorado people, and
after finding out something of the
Teal conditions that surrounded the
district, it was impossible for me to
pull out without securing something
on my own account. / shall 60 home
this week, make report to my peo-
pie for whom I made the trip, and
then / will get bunch of the boys
to go in with me on the Red Top
property. 1t will be properly equipped
just as soon as / can get back to at
tend to the matter, and l promise you
now that it will not be long till I
shall have made another big mine up
there.
GAS to the entire district, reaching
from Farrell to the north to Seven
Troughs on the south, all that / can
say is that I never saw such a show
ing in my life, and I have spent many
years in Cripple Creek which is some
thing of a gold camp itself, as you
probably know, but the country is very
quiet There is great deal of work
going ON but there is absolutely no
excitement I attribute this to the
fact that a great many miners and
prospectors without means own large
groups of claims and do not give men
with money a right chance to help
them The minute you begin to talk
to them they become wealthy and they
spurn any offer that does not carry
fortune in 'cash down with it. But
the ore is there and no mistake and
it will not be long before the right
kind of talent gets in there and then
things will hum. / have been secur-
ing a lot of samples from the differ
ent properties. You ought to see them
they would do your eyes good. |
am taking them back to Cripple
Creek as a sort of object lesson 70
the men of that camp who are able
to appreciate good thing when they
see it, could tell you lot OF things
about the Seven Troughs country II
YOU cared for details; but say, any
how, that is one of the best camps
in this or any other country, and that
is just the place for men with money
to get into and make a killing such
as they will rarely find in the min
ing business.

The Purity OF Spices.


Our forefathers in the drug bust
ness used to sell all the spices and
peppers, but they could not meet the
competition Of the grocer. Why
Because with the aid Of the ma uufsct-
urers, before the Pure Foot Commits
sions were established, the grocer was
able to undersell him with his impure
goods. One could buy cheaper from
the grocer. In time the druggists
dropped this line OF goods and adult
erations became common.
We believe it is the province Of
drug stores to keep on sale spices that
will bear chemical analysis. Rein
hart's Pharmacy has taken the agency
in Shepherdstown for the Symonds
Inn Spices, manufactured by the
United Drug Co., of Boston, Mass, ,
and have done 90 in the firm belief
that the purity Of the goods will ens'
BILE them to win back the trade which
their grandfathers lost. These spices
are guaranteed to be the ''purest oil
the pure" The inspection of the
Pure Food Commission is invited.
The guarantee, which appears on
every package of these goods, Rein
hart's Pharmacy fully endorses, and
will gladly pay the money back to
anyone if not fully aatisdsd with the
spices. The best way to test them is
to use them after that they will al.
ways be in your spiceboI.

Railroad Wreck In Shepherdstown.

A peculiar wreck occurred on the
Norfolk & Western Railroad in Shep.
herdstown about four o'clock Tuesday
morning. A freight train was run
ming north, and when near Lemons
elevator one of the cars jumped the
track. 1t ran on the ties until it
reached the switch near the bridge,
where the operations for the new
bridge are going on. 1t tore the
switch open and turned the balance of
the train on to the side track, the
rear cars running into the quarry at
the end Of the track, where four of
them piled up in mass, the others
remaining on the rails in good order.
The car that caused the trouble kept
on the main track until within a few
feet of the bridge, when it conven-
iently tumbled over on its side. The
engine meantime had broken loose
from the train and ran across the
bridge, but came back when the trou.
BILE was over. None of the trainmen
was hurt, and they called out the 10.
cal section men, who soon had the
track repaired and cleaned. Later
the wrecking train came and removed
the broken cars. A hobo was on one
of the wrecked cars and it turned over
on him when it upset. He was not
hurt bit and calmly crawled from
under. The damage was compare
lively small, and altogether it was a
lucky accident, for had the switch
not been thrown open by the dersiled
car the train would probably have
been wrecked upon the high bridge.

The County Court and the Bridges.

An adjourned meeting of the Coun-
ty Court was held on Saturday Iast-
present N. R. Roberts, president; N.
T. Snyder, J. W. Rider, Daniel HeAe-
bower and John @. Burns. commits
sioners.
In the matter of the sundry petit
tons of citizens Of the county request
ing that free bridges be constructed
across the Shenandoah river at four
different points named in the said Pc
titione; and that the two bridges across
the Potomac river at Shepherdstowr
and Harper's Ferry, as we'll as the
bridge across the Shenandoah at the
latter place, be purchased by the coun-
ty, and that the question OF the pro-
priety of granting said petitions be
submitted to a vote of the citizens of
the county, and it being the opinion Of
the court that it would not be for the
best interests Of the taxpayers Of the
county to grant said petitions, the
same are hereby rejected for the fol.
lowing reason:
In the first place, the two bridges
across the Potomac are within the
State of Mary land, entirely beyond the
jurisdiction of this court.
In the second place the cost Of build
ing four bridges and purchasing the
one already built across the Shenan-
doah, would, in the opinion of the
court, make an addition to the indebt-
edness Of the county far in excess of
any benefit to be received therefrom
= Increasing the tax rate for county
purposes from 40 to so per cent. Z
Il the signers Of the above mention
ed petitions could agree upon one
point for the construction Of g bridge
over the Shenandoah for the use Of
which q moderate toll would be eI-
acted, it is the opinion of the court
that 1t would be willing to submit the
question to 9 vote for permission to
issue bonds for its construction.
