BASE BALL GAME

On Thursday of this week the boys
of the High School organized base
ball nine and elected Mac Summers
Captain. They formed two teams for
play among themselves, the first team
to be known as the Juniors and the
second as the Freshmen, with Mac
Summers and Fred Strosnider respec-
lively Captains. Yesterday the first
game was played, the Juniors being
the winners by a score of lS to Is
Mac Summers was substituted as
pitcher for the Juniors in the third
inning, Chester Hilbun catching and
Howard Whitacre exchanged first for
catchers uosition in the third inning.
Ernest Johnston, the catcher for the
Freshmen, holding down the initial
sack In their half of the sixth the
Freshmen shifted positions again.
Howard Whitacre neglected to put on
his mask and little tip did the work.
His brother, Walter, tried to take his
place but was too short and was re
moved. Nelson Mathews relinquished
the pitchers box to Bill Russing. of
the Grammar School. Nelson took
Walters position, and although he is
one OF the star pitchers he proved he
could do just as well behind the bat
The town boys are now contemplating
the formation of a nine to try conclu-
sions with the regular High School
nine. They will find that they have
good size job on their hands when
they meet the pick OF the two mines.

DEATH OF JOHN CONLAN

The Virginia Enterprise reports the
death of John Conlan at that place
on Tuesday of this week. Mr.. Con-
Ian was we'll known in this valley,
where, some years ago, he was en-
ployed on the Miller and Lux ranch
Ailments incident to old age were the
cause of death, Mr.. Conlan being very
close to 80 years old. He was native
of Ireland and located Oh the Com
stock in 1860 He was man of ster-
ling worth and had many friends. He
is survived by son, Frank, and a
daughter Mrs. Dan O'Hagan, and
their numerous friends in this section
extend their sympathies. The funeral
of deceased took place Thursday after
noon in Virginia City and was largely
attended by numerous friends.

TRADE RECIPROCITY

AS illustrating the California idea Of
trade reciprocity we are receiving
these days shipments of potatoes for
seed, and it is a fact that not any Of
the stock received so far is at all lit
Tor planting. When we ship potatoes
to California points the stock is sub
mitted to rigid inspection, and if a
specimen of eel-worm contamination
is found the whole shipment is con
demncd; yet our potatoes are intended
for table consumption only Gor which
they are eminently well quali6ed), and
not recommended for seed But the
California stock is foul with all kinds
of diseases-both parasitic and organic
and this not only initiates against
the growth OF the coming crop, but
permanently pollutes the soil, so that
it will take years to eradicate the dis
ease, and the loss to growers will be
incalculable.
When any shipment of fruit or pro
duce from this State reaches the point
of consignment in California, it j.
met by State Inspector (Which is
emineTtly proper and if any disease
is found the shipment is condemned,
which Is again proper; but when
shipment of California fruit is dumped
on stupid Nevada dealer, he accepts
the trash, pays the highest cash price
and looks happy. The consequence
is our orchards are polluted with every
conceivable form of pest, scale, cod
ding moth and aphis, and all directly
traceable to California benevolence.
| Now here is a place where some Of
our ambitious statesmen can find
ample scope to display ability on what
is of vastly more Importance than the
tweedle-dee. tweedle-dum politics be-
ing practiced in our legislature. If the
Governor has not already got the
power, give it to him to appoint com
petent inspectors to exmne every
shipment OF fruit or produce import
ed into this State: condemn all dis
"oNh 9iiPiiiCIItS, anu SuSpcnu qud1dn-
tine against every district of Califor-
mia where dangerous transmissable
plant, as well as animal, diseases are
known to exist. This would also be
most eminently right and proper and
Californians should be the very last to
complain of such measures of self
protection.

NINETY DAYS FOR LARCENY

On Monday of this week stranger
hoaed into the store of Hall & Nor
gan and after some parley about pur
chasing some clothing picked up a
pair Of pants and showed them under
his coat when Mr. Hall was not OBJ
serving him. In a few minutes he
said the pants shown him would do
and went out of the store saying he
would get the money and come back
and get them. He returned in few
minutes and wanted to buy a coat as
well as the pants. While Mr. Hall
was looking for a coat to suit him the
man stuck another pair Of pants under
his coat and went cut. Another Gus
toner in the store observed the theft
and notified Mr.. Hall who immedi
ately followed the man up the street
and after finding him summoned the
Deputy Sheriff who arrested the man.
1t was found that he had already dis
posed of the first pair OF pants stolen
i'm a saloon for IS cents. Mr. Hall
secured all of the stolen stuffff and
the thief was lodged in the county
Jail. Tuesday he was brought before
Justice Blanchard for trial He prov
ed to be recent arrival from Aurora
and gave hs name as Tom Kempsey.
He is now doing i.inety days in the
county Jail for his slight of hand
performance.

Mrs. Laura Duke of Carthage. Tenn.

several years. She lost appetite and
her weight fell OFF. She could not rest
at night.
She took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy
just a few doses-and found herself
restored.
In fact, Mrs. Dukes recovery was
so rapid she was afraid that it could
be only temporary, So she waited
from September. when she took the
remedy. until the following February
to pass judgment. Then she wrote:
81 write you in regard to your won
derful stomach remedy that / took
last September. l feel better than /
have in five years.
MY weight was 127k pounds; now
ii is 147A, and can eat anything |
want. l sleep well at night. l would
have written before, but ! wanted to
see how ] got along"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per-
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try it
on an absolute guarantee-if not salts

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form Of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil food in SCOTS Emulsion which rs q
