LIGHTNING
STORMS FREQUENT

The heavy thunder and lightning
Winnemucca threatened to be rather
serious yesterday morning, when.
just before the memorial exercises in
the Nixon were finished, a terrific
crash told that flash had struck near
by. 1t was soon learned that a tree
in the yard of the Guthrie home, at
the corner of West Third and Lay
streets. had been completely demol-
ished and the remaining stump
stripped of bark. Limbs and splinters
were thrown all over the yard and
for distance of at least 200 feet, one
piece being driven into the end of the
house. Clothes lines, electric light
wires and telephone wires were torn
from their places and strewn around
with the rest of the debris.
That no one was hurt is considered
miraculous, as Mrs. Guthrie was not
more than twenty feet from the tree
at the time of the crash, and although
she received severe shock, readily
recovered.
During the same storm five tele-
phone poles near the cemetery were
damaged by lightning and at least two
of them will have to be replaced.
Rafween IN and II o'clock Monday
night early bedgoers were awakened
with startling peals, of thunder, said
by many to have been the loudest re-
ports they had ever heard.

exercises held in the Nixon yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, the program
which had been planned by the Ameri

was carried out and participated in
by large number of citizens.
Prayers were offered by Rev. Wes-

Meisekothen, and talks by l.. o. Haw-
kins and L. G. Campbell. Music was
furnished by the Winnemucca band.
national anthem was heartily sung by
the audience.
On account of the heavy shower
which was in progress at the close
of the exercises, it was necessary to
postpone the parade for short time.
The order of parade was as follows:

1t is next to impossible to be GER
tain just what phase of this assess
ment work business correspondent
is talking about unless he mentions
which of the seven bills he has in
the author of the bill. AS nearly as
sentiment can be gathered at this
| time, miners are not in favor of any
further exemptions or extensions on
| assessment work, but are in favor of
| letting the law stand as it now is. the
time for doing work expiring with
the fiscal year, June 80. One of the
strongest arguments for this date
seems to be that oftentimes, and in
many places, it is impossible to tell
from an attempted inspection the first
| of January whether assessment work
has been done. 1t is admitted there
are good arguments in favor of all tn,
different bills.
The age-honored graft of free seeds
is now a thing of the past. No
longer will Senators, Congressman,
and newspaper editors have to cuss
the mice attracted by bags of seeds.
and no more will certain thrifty con-
stituents be enabled to gather them
up by the bagful for chicken feed.
Congress makes no appropriation fol
the seed industry this year. Member
of the national legislature will be able
to distribute, for the last time pre-.
sumably. a few tulip and narcissus
plications to be received during this
extra session of Congress. it is under

Apparently a considerable amount
of confusion exists among Nevada
mining men regarding various meas
ures now before Congress concern
ing assessment work. Letters re-
ceived by Congressman Arentz show
that some correspondents are talking
about one thing, some about another,
and all supposing they are getting
directly at the point at issue. Let IT
be said there are now seven bills in
committee, between Senate and
House, making proposals regarding
assessment work. They have been

That "all is not gold that glitters"
was demonstrated to the individual
who, the other day or other night, re-
moved what appeared to be pile of
gold notes from the desk of Post
master Frank Collier of the House

thought he IVES in possession OF a
rich haul, but instead 1t was pack
age about three inches thick of hand

cil Somehow. the other evening, talk
was turned by one Of the scientists
in charge to the subject of intoxicat-
Ing liquor. What he said was not
calculated to popularize the present
day brand of b,,ze. He remarked the
fact that scarcely newspaper can be
perused without something appearing
about an explosion of bottled moon
shine-and in that term were in

II appears, as nearly as layman
can get at the idea, that in hurried
or incompleted fermentation an ele
ment remains which will generate
further action. Like latent heat in a
steam boiler. the said further action
takes a sudden and violent form, not
yet understood. 1t is believed this
generation of force occurs as often
after the liquor is drank as when 1t
remains in non-human containers; !;
and If 1t does so. a ruptured intestine
is the result. Eminent physicians, 1t
is said, when their attention has been
called to this matter, have reflected
that sudden deaths which have been
ascribed to drinking bootleg" have
in fact presented symptoms of me-
chanical rather than pathognomonical
causation.
