LOSES BUSINESS
TWICE BY FIRE IN
CURRENT YERR
ESTABLISHMENT OF MRS. j. n
SIMPSON is DESTROYED BY
FIRE TODAY

Mrs. j. H. Simpson, who lost her
entire millinery stock during the
disastrous fire that visited Tonopah
last July, again suffered heavy
loss this afternoon when the build
ing occupied by her store was com
pletely gutted by flames The total
loss is unknown, as Mrs. Simpson
does not know the value of the stock
that was saved. Only a small portion
was carried out of the building be-
fore it became mass of flames.
The blaze started about 2:15 O'Clock
this afternoon. Mrs. Simpson had lift
ed the lid of heating stove in the
rear of the building for the pur
pose of replenishing fuel The lid
had become somewhat heated and
was dropped to the floor ,aighting in
pile of tissue paper. In an instant
the heat set fire to the paper and
despite the efforts of Mrs. Simpson
to extinguish the blaze it was but
a moment until the room was prac-
tically ablaze. Mrs. Simpson sustain
ed a number of burns, none, however,
being serious.
The entire building was ablaze
when the fire department arrived on
the scene, but excellent work was
accomplished once the hose lines
were strung For a time it appeared
that the fire would spread to adioin-
ing buildings and sweep the entire
side of the street The furnishings
and stocl, Of the f. B. Gray Tailoring
company were removed, but the
building sustained no damage other
than being slightly charred. The
same condition existed in the building
adjoining on the south and occupied
by a picture frame establishment.
Poke Kelly. assistant chief of the
department, was injured when the
porch of the burning building, upon
which he was standing, fell to the
ground. The fall was about seven
feet and Kelly, in addition to re
ceiying a sprained ankle, was badly
shaken up.
The stock of Mrs. Simpson was in
sured for a small amount.

DIES SUDDENLY At
CARSON HOME
FATHER OF FORMER CHIEF JUS.
TlcE OF SUPREME COURT
ANSWERS SUMMONS

Monday afternoon Ed Sweeney, for
so years a resident of Carson, passed
away after a short illness, dying from
the effects of an attack of pneumonia
The deceased was native of Ire
land, coming to Carson in early man
hood where he at once became one
of the foremost citizens. He at one
time owned practically all the land
on which that city is now built be-
sides extensive timber holdings on
he mountain sides. He was SO years
Of age at the time of his death and
leaves a wife, one son, former Chief
Justice Sweeney and three daughters,
Mrs George L. Sanford, Mrs. George
Lammon and Mrs. A. ID. Bell Though
loyal to the land of his adoption, Mr..
Sweeney always held a warm spot
in his heart for the land of his
birth and on every st. Patrick's day
since he has been a resident of Car
son large flag of Ireland has float
ed side by side with the stars and
stripes on a rope stretched from two
poles in front of the Sweeney resi-.
dence and by this means had the
old gentleman attested his love for
both countries. There was a time in
4 the history of Nevada when Sweeney
guarded his flag from daylight to
dark with shotgun and prevented ii
being torn from its halyards, but in
later years the flag has floated in
peace and the old man watched its
ripplings with heart full of pride

tthe following statements for publ
cation: My wife suffered from trou-
4 bles common to all women for about
three years. She took one bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and was
cured sound and we'll.
"About three months ago she was
taken down again, and I went at
once and got her another bottle of
Cardui She felt better very soon.
BY the time the bottle was used up
she was we'll again.
I'VE had ne'ghbor who was in
the same condition as my wife, and
we advised her to take Cardui, but
she did not. Her medicine bill was
$4,000, and she is not strong yet.
Which was the best? Think of pay
ing 80 to IL

word for this remedy every chance
. have.
1T is the greatest woman's rem
edy on earth"
Cardui has record Of more than
so years success as a medicine
tonic--for weak, tired, WORKOUT
women. Its wonderful success Is due
TO the fact that it goes right to the
spot that needs attention and does
the work that is required.
All women need Cardui-at times.
When you do, give it trial.
