that Mrs. Gould scored most strongly

witnesses for Mr. Gould who gave

cause of the comet. If you build big

Reads Like Fiction

Investigation into the affairs of Thorn
as FL. Niblock, the broker who com
rnitted suicide, at Rawhide shows that
his real name was Thomas H. Prooban,
OF the well-known family of that name
at West Downs, Ireland. He served in
the Commons from West Downs and in
the zenith of his career eloped with a
celebrated Irish beauty. Four years
later he left her in Paris and went to
New York. The day he left his COM
panion was killed in a train wreck and
man crushed beyond recognition in
the same compartment of the wrecked
train was buried as Prooban by the
members of his family. Prooban read
OF the affair but maintained silence and
allowed his family to continue in the be-
lief that he was a victim of the wreck.
He came to Nevada and won and lost a
fortune before he committed suicide in
a fit of dependency. Enterprise.

Startling information of alleged
frauds upon public lands has come into
possession of Secretary Garfield through
special agents. Allegation is made that
approximately $11,OOO,0OO worth of
lands in states principally west of the
Mississippi river have been acquired
fraudulehtly within the past two years
by corporations and individuals. Sec
cretary Garfield will ask an apropria-
ton of 100000 to pay the expense of
recovering these lands, there being, it
is claimed, over $4,000 distinct cases of
alleged frauds demanding further in

Imaginary Diseases

In speaking of Imaginary diseases, %
the Philadelphia Record says: Its
strange" remarked an uptown physi-
ician to a friend, the other day, chow
people will let imaginary diseases prey
on their minds. Ever since the tuber-
culosis congress was held in the city,
people have come to look upon lung
trouble as thing to be met at every
corner. People come to my office every
day and complain of pains in the shout
ders, coughs, and, in fact, every one
ends up by saying the lungs are affected.
Now, in point of fact, nine out of every
ten of these cases are imaginary. If
people would only consider that if their
general health is good and they live
according to the hygienic rules laid
down by the family doctor, tuberculosis
germs will not live in their systems,
they would be spared lot of worry
