HAY FEVER

the peace, Adams F. Brown for the
same office, Nj. G. Myrtle for the
democratic nomination for sheriff,
while the first man who wants to
go to the assembly appeared in John
I. Murphy, a democrat.
j. l.. Mccarthy, county physician,
this morning advocated the wearing
of overalls by Goldfield men for the
duration of the war. He says he
is willing to start the style. County
Clerk Robertson says overalls would
be an improvement on his present
apparel, and he will follow the sug-
gestion as soon as the doctor
branches forth.
At the Elks' initiation in Tonopah
, last night Bud Lefebvre opened a
bottle of wine behind a particularly
jumpy Goldfield member of the
herd with the result that the jumpy
member swept two cups of coffee in
to the lap of w. S. Phillips new
suit, for which he alleges he paid
$55. Doctor Mccarthy, in a speech
in favor of wearing overalls during
the war, commended that no one
should pay $50 for a suit in war
times anyway.
c. e. Redman left this morning
at 4 o'clock for Bishop, Big Pine
and over the Yioga pass into the
Yosemite. Many hay fever victims
wept more profusely than usual
when they heard that Redman was
going far from the sagebrush and
weeds that give people hay fever
here and the thought of his trip
brought tears to their eyes.
The hay fever is now at it's height
and many have reached the blue
glasses stage. All subject to it who
had escaped up to the recent heavy
rains have it o and more cases
are developing. Many remedies are
suggested. Harry Ruhl, a bad vic
tim, had a remedy a few days ago
hat was to be taken for three
months, with assurance of a cOm-
plete cure. The hay fever period
lasts about three months.
Walter Richardson, a linotype
operator for the Tribune, says he
met a man yesterday and asked him
80 10 u,,, tc1,h1al With how fnuar
The man replied that he had been
troubled with it, but that he had
cured himself. Richardson, who is
among the tearful-eyed ones these
days, doubted the man, who then
referred him to another man who
had tried his remedy. The other
man was found and said he also had
been cured.
The result was that Richardson
went out on the desert last night
and gathered sagebrush from which
he made tea. He drank the tea and
went to bed. This morning he re-
ported that he had the best nights
sleep in several weeks and his eyes
were clearer than usual all day:
This remedy may work on the prin-
ciple of the. hair of a dog being APP
piled to the wound on the victim of
it's teeth.
Ira Murdoch of the TOnOpah and
Goldfield market. who is considered
an expert on cattle, says he has
about perfected a homeless COW,
which will be a great relief to pat
rons, and Frank Mcnamara of the
same institution says that beginning
the second Thursday in next week
meat prices will be reduced.
People will carelessly walk away
from a faucet and leave the water
running and in this way a jitney
! owner last night left his car on
Main street without turning it off
and the jitney, on its way down the
street hit a barber pole, broke the
| glass globe on top and injured its
own radiator. A jitney will do
anything but drive itself. Carl
Damskey says he ran over one a
few days ago and it had II rattles.
In all the talk of the Irish trou-
BILE no one, including all the authori-
ties on the land of the shamrock
and Sim Fein in Goldfield, has been
able to explain why there are no
snakes in Ireland. The legend of
st. Parick is of course we'll known,
but the real reason why there are
no reptiles on the Emerald isle is
yet unexplained. The subject has
proved too deep even for Father
