Ed Reinhart left yesterday after
aoon for Chicago. He will remain

months. n

Major John Dennis will probably
start Democratic paper in Reno.
This would give each of the four
parties in Nevada representative
organs in Reno. Mr.. Dennis is one
Of the best, If not the best, news
paper man in the state.

One of the most remarkable birth
records has occurred near Pollard,
Alabama. Seven years ago Mrs.
]. d. Pettis gave birth to three
children, two girls and a boy. A
few days ago she gave birth to
four boys, all now living. Two of
them weighed eight pounds and two
six pounds each.
A home once more made cheer
less by that grim visitant, death,
and three greiving hearts that can
but feel their own sorrow and look
but to God for strength, stand with
bowed heads bitterly weeping for
their dead.

this world into the next, after an

most honored and respected citizens,
a man of enterprise and sterling
worth, a man possessed of many
friends who, when years have rolled
| by. will remember him as a friend
to all and an enemy to none.

of Carson, but now of the Klondike
region:
81 arrived here safe and well on
October 18th, over a month ago,
but had no opportunity to write

man who has grub enough to last
him through the winter and a good
cabin is considered luckier than a
mine owner.
