Sir William Gull. the well.known
London physician, was once the vie
tim OF an amusing piece OF repartee
on the part Of fellow practitioner.
The occasion was a dinner party at
which several distinguished medical
men were present. The conversation
happened to turn upon the subject OF
quackery, and Sir William Gull ev-
pressed his conviction that a certain
amount OF 1t was essential to success
In practice. adding: 1T is an exam

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
titutional remedies. Deafness is
caused b, an inf1amed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have q rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when it 10
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube
restored TO It's moral condition
hearing will he destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred DOL

Caused by catarrh) that cannot be
aused by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Fashions Long Kept UP.

The British admiralty's annual or
der for black silk handkerchiefs for
the navy, recently placed for 10000,
led to inquiry. why black?" 1t is
said to be as mourning for Nelson's
death at Trafalgar. Another instance
OF long.continued mourning is shown
in the dark clothes officially worn by
the Anglo-Saxon race; at the decease
Of the duke Of Gloucester, Queen
Anne's heir.aDparent, the bar went
into mourning ana has never dotted
this, though the lapse of the Stuart
dynasty on the British throne was
scarcely to be regretted. Doubtless
the largest following Of one fashion
by men was after Alexander set the
style OF having the face clean
shaven: this was kept up by the
Graeco-Roman world for five hundred
years.

Singular Inscription.

Under the Temple clocks. in Lon.
don. is a singular inscription. the
origin Of which was an accident.
Nearly 200 years ago a workman was
employed to repair and put a new
face upon the clock. and when his
work was nearly done, he asked the
officials of the Temple for an appropri.
:te motto to carve upon its base.
They promised to think Of one. and
week after week he came for their
decision. but was always put of.
One day he found them at dinner.
What motto shall put on the clock.
your lordship?" he asked of learned
Judge.
"Oh, go about your business" his
honor cried. angrily.
"a very. suitable motto. for a lazy.
dawdling- gang" the 'clockmaker nut.
tered, aS.he retired. Then he had
carved on the base. Go about your
business!"

CE, ESRiTIOi JULY 5TH

At l 80 on the afternoon of the
9Th, the game of base hall between
the Winnemucca team and the
Western Pacific team of Wendover
began at the ball park. The Win.
nemuccans won the game by the
score of 70 to q which tells the
entire story,
During the day Mr.. THOMPSON,
the aviator, made two attempts to
fly, but never got over "a feet in
the air. He kept making promises
tn carry out his contract and fly
for ten minutes during the day
but failed to carry out the
promises to the great dissapiont-
ment of all the people who came
here for this particular event and
to the great regret Of the COM
mittee who did their best to
procure "a real bird man."
In the evening, the horribles
formed at the courthouse and
marched through the streets. The
procession was not as good as we
have seen in Elko, but it created
considerable amusement and that
WAS what it was for.
After the horribles, came the
confetti battle. This ragged for
several hours and the fun was fast
and furious. Bushels of confitti
was used. and none escaped the
merry makers. Old age, youth,
kids, cripples. and all humans
looked alike to the merry makers
This ended Elko's splendid celebra,

our Nations birthday.

bration in charge worked unceas.

Surely Professional.

1t was well known that the late DR..
p. II. Brascome though he demanded
and got large fees from his wealthy
clients. gave much OF his valuable time
to treating poor patients. says the
New York Herald. One case OF q

and he not only treated the man. visit

When the man got well again and
went to work he sent out OF his

Ddclosed two dollar bill, which Dr.
Brascome, rather than offend the

bunch, that he volunteered to ride
the horse without halter or rope

main. This he did to the great
delight of all who saw as gooG

The second prize went to Ed.
Mcconnell and the third to Mr..

The ring catching contest was
the next on the program. Eight
ladies and gentlemen entered this
contest. George Coleman caught
