During a recent interview, Mr.. 10.
seph MERCER of 25S Walker street,
Lowell, Mass, said to the writer:
MY little boy, Clifford, now seven
years old has taken Father Johns
Medicine whenever he had a cold or
cough, ever since he was two years
old. and it has never failed to give
good results. We find that the medi-
cine stops the wheeling, and he used
to cough badly at night and he does
no. do it when we give him Father
Johns Medicine. We believe
that Father Johns Medicine gives
him increased weight and strength,
and we know that while taking it he
always gains in weight. We would
not be without It in the house, and
strongly recommend Father Johns
Medicine to mothers of children who
are weak and run down.

MUCH INTEREST IN
NEVADA FARMS

That the advantages of agricul-
ture in Nevada were placed before
100 900 people in all at the Dallas
corn exposition is stated today by
Prof. c. S Knight, agronomist of
the University of Nevada, who re-
turned last night from a months
absence, during which he was in
charge Of the Nevada exhibit at
Dallas. He was assisted by Theo
Clark, in charge of the Nevada
experiment station farm, who re-
turned with him.
Attendance at the corn EXPOSE
ton, Prof. Knight says, ran as
high as $4,000, in spite of adverse
weather conditions. He found that
lots Of farmers who r practicing
dry farming under difficulties were
much interested in irrigation pos
sibilities as we'll as dry farming
possibilities in Nevada. While no
direct results were attained in
inducing farmers to come to Ne.
vada to settle, many farmers indi-
Gated that they will investigate Ne
vada opportunities as soon as they
are able to do so, and it is believ-
ed that much good has been done
in advertising Nevada by means of
the state exhibit at Dallas.

DEATH WON OUT IN
RACE FOR FREEDOM

A pathetic story comes from the
state prison Of the death of a man
there by the name of Chapman.
who was serving a term for selling
liquor to Indians, being sent from
Douglas county. The man was a
miner and in his life underground
had contracted miners consumption
which was the cause of his death.
He had but a short time to serve
and it was understood that he was
to be paroled if he could assure the
board that he would not be a
charge upon the state. He got into
communication with a sister who
lived in Placelville and the day be-
fore he died came a letter stating
that she had made arrangements
to send for him and place him in
a private sanitarium just as soon as
he was paroled. The letter came
too late for during the week he
had been waiting to hear from the
sister he bad grown weaker and
weaker and the day after the arriv-
al of the letter he passed away. 1t
is understood that the mar had al
" avs held a good reputation and
during a spree Furnished the liquor
to an Indian which placed him be-
hind the bars. The body was bur.
led in the prison plot on Sunday.

DAY BAD MAN IS DEAD

With the death Of Jack prender-
CAST Tuesday Of last week in CARD
nerville, a well known character
was lost to Nevada. In the early
days of the Virginia City excite
ment, Jack arrived on the Com.
stock. He soon became one of the
recognized dad men, Of the dis
trio. Although q man Of small
stature, he considered 40 mar too
great to tackle in a free.for.a all
fight. His mode of fighting wes
peculiar to himself. Instead of us
ing his fist it was his habit to jump
at his adversary and plant both
heels on the head of the latter,
says a Gazette correspondent.
Weighing but q trifle over q hun.
dred pounds himself, he knocked
out men double or more his own
weight. At one time, owing to the
results VI one of his encounters, he
