The Belginns are the only ones so f n r that hnve done any real work in holding bnck the German advance. Their stubborn resistance will give England nnd Franco time to concentrate a Inrgc army to as sist them in driving Germany out Of their territory. The Be^iana have held th4 center of the st8ge so far.

When the mines of the Comstock failed his father, whom we knew well, sought other fields. On the death of Attorney Gen eral Baker, he was appointed to fill the vacancy. His record since then is before the people. On that recrrd he stands as his party's candidate. His qualtications for the office arc admitted by all who know him.

He was taken to jail and put in the "bull pen" with a number of other prisoners as his ?ctinns were thought to be the result of booze. He remained comparatively quiet until Sunday evening when he became violent and fought the prisoners in the pen. Jaiier Cotant was called away from the jail Sunday evening and on his return he heard the cries f jr help and went to the relief of the prisoners. O'Neill was wild and Cotant was unable to manage him. Sheriff Harris was called and 0 'Neill was finally coax?d into a' cell and locked up. Yesterday he was examined be fore Judge Taber and there being no doubt of his insanity he was committed to the asylum at Reno. S. B. I.annom, an asylum attendant came this morning to take him ' away.

Ht ? made no further trouble and was ' put on No. ? and started fer Reno. O'Neill is a big husky man and r the ofiicprs handled him as gently ! as they could. He imagines all ' sorts of things, among them being ' that the devil hus turned one side ' of his face black by breathing cn it and that his batanic majesty eats I off the same plate with him. He i came from Battle Mountain here. RABBITS KILLED BY _ NEW METHOD At last an effective way has been found to combat rabbits that infest the farming regions each year and as a reMilt the little pests are being killed off in large numbers while the farmer sleeps. On the government project in Hcrmiston district the new plan is working like a charm. Dairy salt and strychnine hiake tip the ngencv that is depleting the r.inks of the destructive ariirrnls. The farmers nt that point have placed a*, different points over the land small receptacles containing the poisoned salt. Br'er rabbi!, always fond of salt, takes a nibble at the mineral and soon dies from the effect of the tiny hit of strychnine that lie gets with the more choice morsel, As a result it is said that thous ands of carcasses are lying scatter ed about the places where the pois oned salt has been placed, sending out anything but a pleasant odor during the high temperature. But crops are damaged less. The proportion of the poison is one ounce to a pound of salt, and a small vessel containing a tiny hit of the stuff is sufficient to cnuse the drnth of n large number of the pests.?
