OLD SETTLERS.
The Annual Meeting of the
Association Held at Pierpont
Last Thursday.

The twelfth annual meeting OF the
Day county Old Settlers ASSOCIATION
was held at Pierpont on Thursday,
June 10. The day was all that could
have been asked for the occasion The
citizens nad made the most excellent
arrangements for tho entertainment of
the large number OF people in attend
ance. The throng commenced 10 arrive
on the early morning trains aud by the
time the ball games were called there
were about two thousand visitors in the
city. The Pierpont band began their
duties early in the morning and when
there was nothing else doing for the
pleasure of the city's guests the bows
furnished excellent music for their
entertainment.
We want TO say right at the outset
of this article that the people OF Pier.
pont are alive and that they had
appointed their committees with the
evident knowledge of who did things in
Pierpont for there was not hitch in
the program all day long and every.
thing moved off like clock work and
and there was something doing all the
time.

ing the large attendance gathered in
Schraeder's hall where the following
program was rendered:

Nevads's Wild Horses.

THE ranges set apart by the govern
ment in Nevada are overrun by droves
of wild horses, which in the aggregate
are said TO amount to $4,000 at least"
said ID. G. Carson, who has just return.
ed from that State. AT one time there
was a law in Nevada permitting the
shooting OF these wild horses in order
to get rid of them. The hides were
sold and the hunters made a good liv-
ing out of it.
But, as is usually the case, there
were hunters who continually made
mistakes when out cunning. Many a
domestic horse fell victim to the
hunters rifles. This finally became so
much of loss to the ranchers and 9TH
ers that the law was repealed. Since
that time the droves have grown and
are exceedingly troublesome. The for
pstry men are ordered TO shoot these
horses whenever they come on them,
but they are so busy with other and
more necessary work that little i'm
preston is made on the droves by that
means Meanwhile, the horses are
increasing and the question of how TO
wipe them out is becoming a serious
one for all concerned. d."-Milwaukee

Chemical Aid to Medicine
BY THEODORE RICHARDS.

Chemistry may be OF use TO medi-
cine in at least three different ways.
One of these is concerned with find
ing out what things are made OF.
This kind of chemistry is called ana
1ytical chemistry. Another way in
which chemistry can help medicine
depends upon the ability of the mod
ern chemist, not only to find out
what the things are made of, but also
TO discover how the parts are put to-
gether. This branch Of chemistry Is
called structural chemistry, because
It has TO do not only with the mate
rials, but also with the way in which
these materials are arranged Yet
another method OF helpfulness comes
from a still more recent development
of chemistry, commonly called physi-
cal chemistry, which deals with the
phenomena lying on the border line
between physics and chemistry
pecially that part OF the border line
concerning the relation OF energy TO
material. The physical chemist must
know, not only what things are made
OF and how these elements are put
together, but also what energy is con-
cerned In putting them together, and
what energy Is set free when they are
decomposed From The Atlantic

Hoodoo Dinner.

A dinner TO celebrate the thirteenth
wedding anniversary of New York
couple took place Friday, November
13. In order TO emphasize the dis
belief in hard-luck superstition, the
guests had to walk under a ladder
to reach their places at the table;
they found the salt cellars all over
turned, the prongs of the forks point
ing the wrong way. and many other
things which come under the head OF
"unlucky.' At each plate, however,
there was placed, as an antidote, a
four-leafed clover, and this and the
undoubted happiness OF the celebrants
seemed TO remove any fears as to
the many hoodoos.
