.RAB|D COYOTES BECOMING
NUMEROUS NEAR FALLON
c. $. Temple Advises Farmers to be
Constantly on Lookout for
Suspicious Cases.

c. S. Temple, who has been en-
gagged in trapping and killing coyotes
in the district southeast of town,
was called last Thursday to the
Cushman ranch, where it was be-
lieyed a dog had developed rabies.
On reaching the scene he found the
animal swapping and biting at every
thing in sight and promptly dis
patched the crazed brute. The head
was sent to the University laboratory
and yesterday word was received
that it was undoubtedly affected with
rabies.
Mr.. Temple states that he is in
formed that coyote was killed at
the Frenchman' Station about eight
days ago that from all accounts was
in the last stages of rabies. The an
imal came to the Station and en-
gagged in fight with the dogs under
the house. 1t was later killed after
having come from among the horses
anu lnuitS Hfit8eiHS " one VI j. N
Tedford's freighting outfits and
which we're tied to the feed wagon
in front of the station. Fears are
entertained that in TIE me.ee some
of the animals were bitten. The per.
iod of incubation of the maiady is
said to be about nine day and the
team is being watched carefully to
note If any of them show sign of the
disease. At no period since the out
break of the rabies In Nevada has
the situation been as serious as al
present, and 1t behooyes everyone
to be exceedingly careful. especial
ly on the ranches where dogs are
permitted to run at large. Mr.
Temple desires all farmers to i'm
mediately notify him OF any suspic.
ious cases by telephone, when he will
respond ct once and take charge OF
the case.

are used as common meeting place
when questions of general interest
To the public are to be discussed. He
further showed that 1t is of great and
lasting benefit to children for them
to appear from time to time before
a public audience. When adults at

doing more than being entertained:
they are doing service to the chill
dren by giving them an opportunity

CHURCHILL CREAMERY co.
ADVANCE CREAM PRICES

Manager Reay Mackay has an
nounced that from and after January
1st the price on so per cent cream
or over will be advanced one cent.
These prices will be maintained for
the ensuing year, and is made pos
sible by the installation and working
out of a system for the better and
more economical handling of the
dairy products of the institution. The
advance in price means a consider
able addition to the cream check Of
the patrons of the Creamery in the
aggregate and is but another evil
dence of the intention of the manage
ment to see that the dairymen re-
ceive the highest possible amount
for their product.
Heretofore the Creamery has been
dependent on the local market and
the Nevada Packing Co. at Reno for
the disposition of their output. The
contract with the Nevada Packing
Co which took only so much of the
product as needed to fill their ord
ers, has been abrogated and new
contract entered into with the Mu-
tual Creamery Co. in which the en-
tire output not needed to supply the
local demand will be disposed of to
this company which controls and op-
crates number of creameries in
this State and Utah. This new ar
rangement will enable the Creamery
Co. to find a ready market for all
they can produce.

Talk of New Railroad

In the late number of Goodwin s
Weekly the possibility of the con-
struction of the new railroad which
will connect Tonopah directly with
Salt Lake City was discussed. The
proposed road would run via Deep
Creek and Ely. Such a road would
have a little competition and would
yield an enormous revenue.

Coal Reported sidetracked

Steinheimer brothers state that in
all probability the local coad situa-
ton will improve during the coming
week. The shortage in Reno was
caused in the first place by shortage
of cars at the mines, but during the
past ten days, the trouble seems to
be with the railroads. 1t is reported
that 2,l27 cars of coal are on the
siding between Salt Lake City and
Helper, Utah.

NEW YORK COTTON

New York, Nov. THE cotton
market showed renewed nervousness
and irregularity at the opening today.
The easy tone of the stock market
and the news from Italy contributed
to the unsettled ruling Of sentiment,
while the buying for Wall street and
Western account which had been
largely responsible for the rallv of
Monday was not in evidence. First
prices were 2 points higher on De-
cember, but generally unchanged to
sold about II to Is points under Mon
days closing figures during the first
few minutes. There were Southern
hedging and scattering liquidation,
but Liverpool and trade interests
were moderate buyers with the mar
ket showing rather steadier tone
at slight rallies toward the end Of
the first hour.
Bul1ish Southern spot advices and
the appearance of a steadier tone in
the stock market inspired covering
later in the morning. There was con-
tinued trade buying and a few stop
orders were uncovered on the advance
to 27.55 for December, 1851 for jan
uary and 26.47 for March or about
Z to ID points above mondays clos
ing figures. Liverpool buying here
was attributed covering hedges
against sales of cotton arriving in
the English market and there was
domestic trade buying of near months
supposed to represent uncovering of
hedges against sales of spots in the
South. Business became very quiet
on the advance, with later nuctua-
tfons irregular.
The market was quiet during the
afternoon, but selling was held in
check by the continued bullish aver
age of Southern spot advices, and
prices held generally steedv around
'7.so for December and 26.79 for
January, or about to 9 points net
higher.

Back Color, Youthfulness and Lus-

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of youthful appearance. Your
hair is your charm. It makes or. mars
the face. When it fades, turns gray and
looks streaked, just a few applications
of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its ap-
pearance hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Either
prepare the recipe at home or get from
any drug store a 5O-cent bottle Of
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, .
which is merely the old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other ingredi-
ents. Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation, because it
darkens the hair beautifully, besides no
one can possibly tell, as it darkens SO
naturally and evenly. You moisten a
sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this
through the hair, taking one small strand
at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application or
two, its natural color is restored and it
becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and
you appear years younger.
