HAYIlAND & HOSKINS
DISPOSE OF STAGE STOCK

Some months ago Haviland & Hos
kins, livery men and stage line pro
prietors, became convinced that the
automobile was destined to become the
favorite mode of future transporta
tion, and at once set to work to place
their plant on a modern basis. Stage
coaches that cost as high as $500 each
were discarded and their places taken
by large, highpower autos. Horses
were turned out on the ranch to feed
in idleness, and the drivers, for the
most part, were given an opportunity
to learn to run machine.
At first it was determined to run
double-header service, using the autos
for that portion of the public that was
in hurry and could afford the ex-
pense, and retaining horses and wag
ons for the economically inclined and
to haul baggage and freight This
was soon discovered to be inadvisable,
with the result that today the entire
stage business between Winnemucca
and the northern portion of the county
is handled by automobile.
A few days ago Haviland & Hos
kins sold their stage horses to Frank
T. Peach, of Oakland, and yesterday
the stock was shipped to the owner,
via the Western Pacific. Anyone in
need of a stage coach or two will be
given a bargain by calling on the firm,
who will take either cash or automo-
biles in exchange

POPULARITY OF POSTAL CARD
IN THE UNITED STATES

More than l7S,000 post cards found
their way to the dead letter Office last
year because of insufficient addresses,
lack of postage or other reasons which
forbade their delivery.
The post card is everywhere so much
in use that the marvel is not that so
many of them should find their way to
the epistolary boneyard of Uncle Sam,
but that so few of all the cards that
are in circulation should have fallen
short of their destination. The post
card 's rise to popularity has been
wonderful, but the post card is a most
valuable invention. 1t saves time and
correspondence, and about nine times
out of ten it serves all the purposes
of laboriously- letter. Also
il conveys information many times
more effectively than does the de-
scriptive letter.
Scarcely any town is too small now
adays to afford something in the way
OF a post card. There are few historic
spots anywhere on the face of the
earth that have not been caught by
the camera and transferred to the post
card. The post card thus has become
an educational institution of some inn
portance. Everybody has not the time
or the means or the inclination to
travel, but everybody can find out
something about the wonders and the
attractions of the world by consulting
the post card catalogues.
All the post cards are not educative
or enlightening, or even interesting.
Some of them are silly and some are
abominable. But it takes all sorts of
people to make up a world and it re-
quires all sorts of post cards to meet
the varying wants of humanity.
The post card has helped the postal
revenue immensely, though it has add
ed nothing to the joys of the postman
at those rather frequent seasons when
holiday mail accumulates. Where
l7s,000 cards have gone wrong several
millions have gone right and have
added something to the sum of human
happiness during the year l9l2.-

ALLEGED JOKER IN
new GAMBLING Law

At the time the gambling bill was
up for passage in the legislature, there
was considerable of a fight between
the sporting element and the "antis. -
The bill, as amended, was finally pass
ed, and the "ants' claimed that
there was now law on the statutes
that would do away with gambling.
and that it was now a thing of the
past and would soon be forgotten. To
this statement the "pros'' made no
reply, but it was limited that the
amendment carried provision that
would practically nullify the law.
1t now transpires that the "joker'
referred to is that clause which pro.
vides that any and all card games,
with the exception of percentage
games, may be played for amusement,
drinks, or for prizes of value not
exceeding two dollars
1t is generally conceded that the
playing of all percentage and banking
games for money constitutes a feony.
However, under the law, it is held
by eminent counsel in different cities
of the state, and on this point they
are unanimous, that solo, bridge
whist, big Indian and poker the
playing of which for money is desig-
mated as a misdemeanor, may be played
for any sort of "prizes" desirable,
provided they do not excel in value
the sum of 81 each. These prizes may
be anything except money, and may
be fruit, confectionery. merchandise,
or celluloid disks. These latter may
be of any convenient size, plainly
labeled "prize,' and of different col
ors and values, provided that $500 is
the maximum value. 1t is held that
the practical effect of the amendment
will be to permit the sportily inclin-
ed to purchase stacks of "prizes' of
various denominations, ranging in
value from a bit to $500 and wager a
bushel basket full of them on any
game they see fit, without infringing
the law
If this view of the law shall be
taken by the attorney general of the
state, while it will be a very deplor-
able situation, it will nevertheless be
the law, from which there will be no
relief for another two years.

new SOUTHERN
PACIFIC TIMETABLE

Agent Born has received a copy of
the new Southern Pacific timetable,
which will become effective at 1901
next Thursday morning, which gives
the arrival of trains at Winnemucca
as follows:
Going east---No. 2, 4-1O a. M; No.
4, AIS o. M; No. 8, $40 !. M;
No. 10, 6:15 D. M; No. 20, lao a. IN.

3, 6:l5 p. M; No. 5, 4:1O a. M; No. 9,
s:43 p. M; No. 10, 5:17 p. m.
Nos. 10 and 20 will be known as the
- Pacific Limited, and will be entire
ly new trains. Aside from the
division points, they will make regular
stops in Nevada at Wells, Elko, Win
nemucca, Hazen, Sparks and Reno, and
will stop on flag only at Palisade,
Battle Mountain and Lovelock. They
will carry both tourist and standard
Pullman sleepers.
Nos. | and will continue to be the
'fswell trains,' and will be known as
the "Overland Limited, de Luxe. =
They will stop at Winnemucca to dis
charge and receive passengers coming
and going to San Francisco, Oakland
and points east of Ogden only. They
Will garry all Tue ldttSL equipment anu
conveniences known to the railway
world, including stenographers, ladies
maids, barber shop, baths, etc. In or
der to enter these trains a passenger
will be required to have a regular
ticket, Pullman berth ticket and an
"extra fare' ticket. which varies in
expense according to the length of the
trip.
As will he seen from the above time
table, Winnemucea passengers will be
able to leave for both eastern and
western points during the daytime.
Heretofore this has been a rather in
convenient town to leave from for
local points west, as all the trains left
here in the night time, the earliest be-
ing No. 3, which went at s O'Clock in
the evening. Under the new schedule,
by leaving here on the same train,
passengers will arrive at either Love
lock or Reno at a good bedtime.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS
IN LOCAL WOOL MARKET

Although the wool buyers still con-
tinue to gather in Winnemucca, so far
as known there has been no offer made
to the owners of this season s clips.
Today Koshland & Co., San Francisco
wool merchants, had two representa-
tives in town and the following firms
one each: jeremiah Williams & Co.,
Boston; Charles Webb & Co., Phila-
delphia; Dewey, Gould & Co., Boston;
II. c. Judd-Root Co., Hartford; Else
mann Bros, Boston.
1t is estimated that the Humboldt
county clip this year will approximate
100000 pounds, and at 15c per pound
would bring a neat sum of money in
to the county at a dull season of the
year. In the event that no offers are
made for the product within the next
few days or weeks, it is probable that
owners will be compelled to either
borrow money on the clips locally or
ship on consignment, taking an ad-
vance.

Loading Car for Flood Victims.

No sooner had the news of the terri
BILE disaster in the Mississippi valley
reached Winnemucca. than the vari-
Gus fraternal societies, Episcopal
Guild, Ladies Aid Society, Catholic
Ladies Society and Rev. J. H. Henry
began soliciting clothing, food and
money in aid of the sufferers. The
Southern Pacific has set out car at
this station for transportation of sup
plies to the stricken districts, and this
will probably be loaded and shipped
by Tuesday. Parties having clothing
or food to donate, are requested to
send same to Agent P. E. Born, and it
will be placed in the ear.

DISTINCTION BETWEEN
TORNADOES AND CYCLONES

Inc recent storms passing over the
Mississippi valley are referred to by
correspondents as tornadoes'' and
as "eyelones. Several Tribune read
ers have asked that the difference, if
any, in the meaning of these terms be
defined. According to Webster's in
ternational dictionary the term "cy-
clone' is from a Greek derivation
which signifies moving in circle. -
In meteorology it means:
A violent storm, often of vast ex-
tent, characterized by high winds ro-
tating about a calm center of low at
mosphereic pressure. This center
moves onward, often with velocity
of twenty or thirty miles an hour
Gin general, condition of the
atmosphere characterized by a GEN.
trail area of pressure much lower than
that of the surrounding areas, and a
system of winds blowing inward and
around (clockwise in the southern
hemisphere and counter-clockwise in
the northern) )-called also a low-area
storm. 1t is attended by high tenn
perature, moist air, abundant precipi-
tation aud clouded sky. The term in
cludes the hurricane, typhoon, baguio
applied to the moderate disturbances
attending ordinary areas of low pres
sure, nor to tornadoes, water spouts
or twisters,' in which the vertical
motion is more important than the
horizontal
The term s'tornado' is from the
Spanish tarnada, meaning a thunder
storm, the French tonnerre, to thun-
der and the Latin tonare, to turn.
In meteorology it means:
"The arched squall off the west
coast of Africa in which the violent
wind revolves beneath a broad arch
of threatening clouds, analogous to
the gust that precedes any severe
thunderstorm; a funnel-shaped cloud
like water-spout,san column or dust
whirl, with very violent and destruc-
tive eddies and whirls of wind, pro-
crossing in narrow path for many
miles over the land. 1t occurs in all
parts of the Mississippi watershed
The wind is too violent to be measured
and the barometric pressure falls SO
rapidly that wooden structures are of
ten lifted and burst open by the air
confined within them. ''-ioldtield

Arguing Motion for Continuance.

The trial Of Frank Howard, on a
second Indictment, charging him with
horse stealing, was called in the Dis
triet Court this afternoon. The State
made a motion for continuance over
the term, alleging that it was unable
at this time to secure the attendance
of one Adrian. material witness, who
resides in Oregon. Salter & Robins
for defendant, stated that as Adrian
was not a witness before the grand
jury which returned the Indictment
there was nothing to show that his
Testimony was material. and intro
dueed an affidavit to show that Adrian
had been notified by the sheriff $ office
not to be present.
The motion was still being argued
as the Silver State goes to press.
