1t was a practice among the an
clients to prescribe eating the livers OF
animals for patients whose livers were
diseased, and eating the lungs OF anil
mails for patients who were consump-
tives. Modern medical men have been
disposed to regard the practice as
fantastic, but at the medical congress
which came to a close recently in
Paris a Roumanian doctor said the
practice was rational. The principle
underlying it, he argued, is that each
organ contains a special chemical COM
pound. He went on to declare that
this compound extracted and injected
into living organism goes straight
to tn repair of the corresponding or
gan, strengthening and reinforcing It
and increasing its bulk.

TIE indictment brought against the
cat by the United States biological sur
vey may strike many persons as rath-
er too sweeping. According to these
experts the cat is neither harmless
nor necessary, but nuisance and
danger, says the Providence Journal.
It destroys the songbirds, and lets the
rats and mice alone. 1t is a carrier
of disease, since even when it has
comfortable home it will go abroad
to mingle with the pariahs of it's kind.
1t cares nothing for it's owner and
is ungrateful for the attention 1t
receives. All this is, in a sense,
twice told tale, familiar in the mouths
of the cats enemies. But when the
government tells 1t the attention OF
the most skeptical must be arrested.
There is nothing the various depart
ments and bureaus at Washington do
not know. Yet the cat will retain
some friends In spite of this scath-
ing accusation. 1t is perfectly true,
of course, that the cat is the great
est foe the birds have. It is also true
that the pampered domestic pet does
not much concern itself with vermin.
1t is also true that disease may easily
be transmitted by the cats fur. But
the determination of the cat seems to
me rather a heavy penalty to impose
for its sins against society. There is
reason to believe that man Is in part
responsible for these.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE
NEVADA-DOUGLAS.
Young Miner Blasted to Death
in Lower Levels.

A Young miner by the name of Will
liam McGoyern was killed in the Lud-
wig workings of the Nevada Douglas
property on Tuesday of this week. He
had been working in a stope above the
drift level and had completed a round
OF holes and was ready to shoot when
last seen alive. About O'Clock i'll the
afternoon the traminer who went i'll to
get the dulled steel found McGovern
lying on the floor of the drift He was
unconscious but there was faint spark
of life i'll his body. Assistance was inn
mediately summoned and he was taken
to the surface where physicians examin-
ed the body and it was found that Nc
Govern had a badly bruised head and a
frightful wound i'll the chest There
were no hopes of his recovery and he
died that night without having regained
consciousness.
1t is supposed that one of the holes
that McGovern loaded missed fire when
the round went off and that lie climbed
back up into the stope to see what was
the matter. The hole that hung fire
probably went off at that time, good
portion of the charge striking McGov-
ern in the chest and throwing him back
into the drift. The wound on his head
was probably caused by the fall.
McGovern had not been working at
the Nevada Douglas great while and
nobody seems to know where he was
from or whether he had any relatives or
not, although it is reported he recently
worked III Bodie Word was sent there
but as vet there has been no reply.
State Mine Inspector Ryan was here
to investigate the accident but could
give no additional news to the above.
The remains of McGovern were
brought to Yerington and taken charge
of by undertaken Phlpps. They were
held for a day or two to see if any rela
tives could be found There appeared
TO be none so the burial of deceased
took place here Yesterday.

Dangerous Blazes.

Last week Saturday salt-grass fire
started III some manner i'll the vacant
lot on Main street south OF the Pa
quint residence. II was lively blaze
for a while but a stream of water soon
sduelched it.
On Wednesday of this week an
other fire of this nature started in the
grass back of the Rink Hall and Mrs,
Davidsons residence This blaze call
ed out the hose boys. The blaze
spread so rapidly that it came near
proving sessions. The small house on
tie back end OF Mrs. Davidson's lot
was somewhat charred, the Snyder
shed was burned little and the Rink
Hall was in danger. 1t is more than
likely that this blaze would have PROV
ed disastrous had ii not been for the
water system and hose company. As
it was the damage was nominal. The
fire was set by children playing with
matches i'll the grass.

DESIRES FULL DATA OF
NEVADA VALLEYS.
A Desire to Supply Farmers With
Definite Information.

An appropriation from the Legisla-
ture for a horticultural survey of the
entire State for the purpose OF de-
termining the availability of the vari-
Gus valleys for the growing OF fruit
is to be asked by Professor Kennedy.
horticulturist of the State University
Agricultural college, in the hope that
the work may be done next spring.
He wants complete data concerning
soil. climate. past performances of
orchards already i'll existence and, IN
fact. all information that might be
collected for the guidance of future
settlers in the matter of fruit plant
ing.
I'VE have turned out reams of lit
erature boosting the grand opportun
tiles of Nevada in agricultural lines,
but in many instances we have done
ourselves more harm than good, said
Prof. Kennedy in speaking of his pet
scheme 'We have claimed so much
and boosted so strong that we could
not possibly make good on some of
our promises.
This promiscuous boosting is bad
business. If we draw real farmer
out here on promise of great things
at which we are only guessing. he IS
liable to make failure and go back
to be a knocker the rest of his days.
We have good agricultural future.
there is no doubt about that. but we
might as well be modest about it and
make only such statements as we can
back up with the goods.
Now take this apple growing for
instance. There are lots of places
where they can grow good apples in
Nevada and there are lots of places
where they cannot There are plenty
of varieties that will not grow here
with any success at all. and then there
are other varieties that produce some
beautiful specimens of fruit.
My idea is to find out these places
where apples and other fruit will grow
with a promise of success If I find a
valley where think apples will grow
| I want to find out all about that val
| lev. about its soil. altitude. growing
! season between frosts. its water--in
fact everything that could be taken
down as reliable data for the guidance
| of prospective settler.
THAT would be something definite
something to be relied on. With such
compiled information we could be oi
real help to the farmer. who is com
ing TO trv his fortune here. and could
probably save him much time and
tronble bp preventing useless expert
merts in unfavorable localities.
"RooSting from an intimate ane
real KNOWLEDGE of what the soil can de
is the kind of booStino Nevada needs
and until we oct it. the State will be
held back in its agricultural develop

Troubles in a Print Shop.

The latcness OF the appearance of
the Times this week is due to several
causes. We generally get to work
on the paper with the linotype on
Thursday mornings OF the week, the
force being busy with job work until
that day in the week On Thursday
of this week the gasoline burner on
the machine went on strike, causing
a delay of half day. When that was
remedied it was found that there was
no power, something having gone bad
with the power line at the Churchill
Canyon crossing Occasionally there
would be little Juice, but not
enough to turn the machine over, and
then there would be no Juice at all
The matter was remedied on Satur
day night about o'clock and we have
gotten the most OF this paper out
since that time.
