STATE HEWS ITEMS. With all the drinking and gambling going on, only $60 haa been spent for criminal prosecution since Tonopah was struck. Prof. Mark R. Averill of Virginia City, who recently returned from the Philippines, has located at Tonopah and will practice law. According to the Journal various ru mors are afloat in Reno as to the in tentions ot the Southern Pacific Com pany in recently purchasing forty acres of laud east of the city limits. A couple of Comstock ghosts came into contact with the business end Ol a pick hand le a few nights ago, receiv ing an unmerciful drubbing at the hands of the man they were trying to frighten. This is the way a Sacramento firm advertises the products of this State: "Nevada Apples—No Worms—No Scale—None as Good—All Varieties.” And the purchaser won’t be disap pointed when he buys them, either. Wells Herald: A good many coun terfeit silver coins are in circulation in Weils. Several of our business men have, during the holiday rush, re ceived the spurious coins over their count-rs. The coins are half dollars and quarters. Reno Gazette, Dec. 26: Z. Pierce yesterday sold to P. L. Flanigan 2240 head of beef cattle, now being fed on the meadows. The cattle will be fed until February, when the cold storage and ice plant and slaughter bouse will be in running order and will be the first cattle killed at the new plant. A NUKE can'll TOM COYOTE*. Tulare Register: B. G. Blackenship and his father, William Blackenship have been able to swap chickens for coyotes right along lately, having got ten ten coyotes within the past month, and this is how they do it. They take a chicken and, with a pair of scissors, clip the feathers off its back, then pour on honey, work it well down into the feathers, afterwards working strychnine well into the honey. Then stake the chicken out near a wolf run way, where they trot along to go for water. Any close observer can learn their road to and from water and picket the chicken out so it cannot get away. Bv and bye a coyote will come along and will pounce onto that chicken and eat it up not stopping at the honey and feathers. The strych nine will do the rest. Bv this Bort of exchange they have been able to get a coyote at the cost of a chicken and that is better than giving many chick ens and getting no coyote. If all the farmers will adopt this plan the coy otes will soon be thinned out. It is a little hard on the chicken, but it is better that one chicken should suffer than that the whole poultry yard should be cleaned out. Tell your neighbors about this. It has stood the test of experience. M lllluir in Plenw. A certain lawyer here in town, says the Washington Post, employs a sten ographer who haH the most wonder ful collars and the most elaborate pompadour in all the business world. She has a personal theory of punctua tion, and her spelling is marked with engaging originality, but she’s so even tempered that only an ahsuredly carp ing person would take notice of such eccentricities. One day she laid be fore her employer a neatly typed let ter to a Southern correspondent. Be fore signing it he glanced over it. “See here,” he said, “you’ve spelled sugar ‘suggar.’ ” The typewriter glanced at the sheet and smiled. “Dear me!’’ she said, “How care less of me! Why I left out the *h’ ” Cured Her Sort I'brout. London Telegraph: A lady who was visiting at the house of a friend when attacked thus describes the unique manner in which she relieved a case of sore throat: “I awoke one morning with my throat so sore and ■welled internally that I could scarcely ■wallow. I did not like to trouble any one, yet felt that I must do some thing for it. I had read that the fumes from burning sulphur were good for diphtheria, and a similar remedy flashed across my mind. I lit a match and inhaled the first sulphurous smoke from it. Of course it made roe cough, but it relieved the smarting in my throat instantly. While dressing I tried two others and went down to breakfast hoarse, but the soreness was gone.” %>»«•!<» % lit iiHiinaid Wells Herald: E. C. Riddell of Starr, who owns one of the most pro ductive orchards in Eastern Nevada, received an order for a carload of ap ples from a Salt Lake firm this week. He could not fill the order as he dis posed of his crop early in the fall. The pries offered him was $4 60 a box. What a Hareaa' ReAIIr la. When parchment was used for writ ing and when bookbinding was In Ita Infancy and a bound book was a costly luxury. It was the custom to place the book on a piece of cloth or a strip of wool In order to prevent the binding from possible damage on the rough wood of the table. Those who had to deal with money also had a strip of cloth on the table or counter so that the coins should not roll. This strip was called "bureau.” In course of time the custom chang ed, and the same word was applied to the writing table covered with green or other colored cloth and at length de scended to the modern table with the center protected by leather. As an of fice contains one or more of these ta bles It Is not difficult to understand that the name should. In one country, have l>een given to the room that con tained the bureau.—London Standard. Described. A schoolmaster was endeavoring to make clear to his young pupils’ minds the meaning of the word “slowly.” He walked across the room in the manner the word Indicates. “Now, children, tell me how I walk ed.” One little fellow who sat near the front of the room almost paralyzed him by blurting out, “Bowlegged!” A Safer Sport. "There’s one respect at least In which fishing Is a good deal safer sport than* hunting.” “How is that?” “tVe don’t make any fatal mistakes' hooking up men who happen to look like fish.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Bachelor. Behold the bachelor! His hair That once was brown is gray. No laughing loved ones claim hii care Nor charm his woes away. He has himself alone to please; No other's fingers search The pockets in his clothes, and he’s Ne’er dragged sway to church. Ah, poor old man!” I hear you say. “Somewhere the grass grows o’er Some one to whom his heart today Turns Radiy as of yore. He merely lingers here as one Who is a transient guest. His joys are fled; his work is done; He longs to be at rest. He longs to bid the world adieu* To cross the river where He is to meet the loved one who Is waiting for him there.” Ah, well! Perhaps ’tis so; He may have loved and lost; His breast may be the haunt of woe, . His soul be tempest tossed; But, though his heart is buried deep Below some slanting stone Where some one long has lain asleep. If he could be alone For just about an hour or two With just tke one. I’ll bet He’d fire up sad learn to do Some fancy stepping yet. —Chicago Record-Herald. A Pleasure of Memory. Drollcbon bought a phonograph and insisted upon bis mother-in-law hav ing her voice registered by the instru ment. As the good woman refused he added maliciously: “Oh, come, now; just a few words.

Tbe minutest directions are given as to polite behavior under all sorts of circumstances: "Take salt with a saltspoon or else with a clean knife, not with that ^ou are eating with, for that will foul the rest. "Do not laugh at table, much less sneeze, cough or yawn; but If you can not avoid It hold up the napkin or ta blecloth before your face and turn aside from the table. "When you drink, bow to some one of the company and say sir or madam. “Never regard what another has on his plate. It looks as If you wanted It. “If you have occasion to laugh, turn from the company. “Always look pleased, but not merry unless there Is occasion.” Now as to the deportment of a young master: “Let your feet be placed at a smnll distance from one another, not too close nor too wide In spreading. “Put one hand easy and free Into the bosom of your waistcoat and the other under the flap of It. “Do not button more than the three lowest buttons of your waistcoat that your hand may not be raised too high. “Do not thrust your hand into your breeches as vulgar boys do, but let It fall with ease under the flap of your waistcoat.” To face this page there is a beautiful “copper cut” of a young master in the easy and elegant attitude recommend ed, and truly “there is a great deal of sweetness in his looks.” This delightful volume was published by R. Baldwin at the Rose In Pater noster row and B. Collins in Salisbury 17d5.—Longman’s Magazine. KITCHEN HELPS. To clean a greasy sink a little paraffin oil, rubbed on with a piece of flannel, will save a great deal of trouble. Ordinary tea mark9 on china may be readily dissolved by scrubbing with a soft brush dipped in salt water and vinegar. If new tinware is rubbed over with fresh lard and thoroughly heated in the oven before it is used, it will never rust afterward, no matter how much it is put in water. A good way to clean zinc utensils is to dip u piece of cotton in kerosene and rub the articles with it until the dirt is removed. Dry afterward with a clean cloth so as to get rid of all grease. For stained tinware borax produces the best results. If the teapot or cof feepot is discolored on the inside, boif it in a strong solution of borax for a short time, and all its brightness will return. Fans and kettles partly filled with water should not be placed on the range to soak, as it only makes them harder to clean. They should be filled with cold water and be kept away from the heat. Names For Farms. “We wish that every farm in Maine would be named,” says the Lewiston Journal “This Is not a mere matter of sentiment, by any means, but it is strictly business. “The man whose farm is known by some name Is certain to take a greater Interest In Its products and to conduct all of his operations on a better plan. On every place there Is certain to be some peculiarity that will suggest a name. A spring of pure water, a grove of oak or maple trees or something else of a similar nature will give It a local flavor. Then paint Its name on the end of the barn facing the road. Let it be where every passerby can see it. Your farm will then soon become known far and wide and will aid you in a thousand ways. “Besides, how much moi ? dignified it Is to be spoken of as the proprietor of Oak Grove farm than to be alluded to as Jim Jones. By all means name your farms, and It will make you all better farmers.” ALL CASES OF DEAFNESS OR HARD HEARINC ARE NOW CURABLE by our new invention. Only those bom deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, 8AY8: Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901. CenUtmen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased car has been entirely restored. 1 thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours, P.

The ore is very similar to other ore found on Cabin No. 1. He certainly has plenty of money in sight in his mine. He is now hauling ore to his mill and the best authorities in the camp claim he has enough ore in sight to keep the mill running five years.
