Death of Aunty Rice.
Mrs. Ellen Rice died at her home in
Genoa Saturday afternoon about 4
o’clock, after a long illness.
Mrs Rice was a native of Bavaria,
Germany, aged 78 years, 6 months and
23 days. She came to the United
States in 1839, and was married in
New York November 22nd, 1840, at
the age of 10, to Koppel Rice. She
came to California with her husband
in the fifties and located at Nevada
City. A few. years later the couple
moved to Genoa, where they conduct
ed a hotel for years, until the death of
Mr. Rice, which occurred November
8, 1888.
“Aunty” Rice, as everybody called
her, .possessed a kind heart and a
cheerful disposition. She was ever
ready to help the needy, always work
ed hard and lived according to the
Golden Rule, doing a kindness for
people, even if they were unknown to
her. Thus she acquired many friends
and sowed many seeds of gladness that
will bud and blossom into beautiful
flowers on the other shore. In her
death a good woman has passed away,
leaving only sorrowing friends behind,
for she was everybody’s friend ar.d
lived up. to principle’s of life which
she felt were right and true.
The funeral took place from the res
idence Monday morning at 11 o’clock,
and the remains were interred at (’ar
son ceme ery beside the husband of
the deceased The pall bearers were
A. Livingston, Jos. Platt, A. Jacobs,
S. B. Cohen, Abe Cohn and S. Platt.

Wednesday night about half-past 7
o’clock a runaway horse attached to a
cart came into Genoa and after
circling around a time or two, was
driven into Raycraft’s stable. No one
knew to whom the rig belonged, but
J. R Johnson was considerably wor
ried about it and hired a boy to ride
out of town and see if any one was
hurt. Near the Child place the boy
found Thos. Raycraft in the road with
his face severely cut and bruised. The
boy returned to town and a team was
sent alter the injured man. Dr. Four
nier was called and found that Mr.
Raycraft bad a fractured rib and was
pretty badly bruised, but it is believed
that his injuries are not serious.
Practically Starving.
“After using a few bottles of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure my wife received per

says J. R. Holly, real estate, insurance

fore using Kodol Dyspepsia Cure she
could not eat an ordinary meal with
out intense suffering. She is now en
tirely cured. ' Several physicians and
many remedies had failed to give re

The Smelter.
Chas. Hunt left Gardnerville Tues
day morning with teams and men to
do the necessary scraping and grading
at the site selected for the new Bmelter.
The buildings to be erected consist of
a laboratory 24x44 feet, with corrugated
iron roof and sides, a boarding house
13x46 feet and a lodging house 13x50
feet.
T. J. Browne and W. H. Foley will
superintend the carpenter work and
Logan & Son of Carson will lay up the
Inundations. Chas. W. Brown ie now
getting out stone for the foundations.
Fritz Dangborg will haul the build
ing material and all the machinery for
the smelter from Carson.
The smelter is built and ready to be
shipped as soon as preparations can be
made to install it Bad weather has
kept the work back hut it is expected
that activity and progress will be the
war cry from now on. Probably the
first of May will see the smelter turn
ing out bullion.
A novel feature of the plant will be
the boarding house and lodging house
for the employes. It will como ready
made in panels ready to be set up with
supplementary roofs and bunks similar
to those in sleeping cars. It will ac
commodate thirty-two workmen. The
boarding house will have a refrigera
tor next to the kitchen, 6x12 feet, a
simple arrangement which will pro
vide cold storage without ice. The
building will be fitted up with all the
latest improvements. Every provision
will be made for the comfort of the
employes and the strictest sanitary
regulations will be observed.
President Uhlhorn has given the
Carson Valley Smelting Co. a guarantee
that no other Vulcan smelter will be
erected within twenty-five miles of
this one.

To the Public.
The time is now at hand for you to
decide on your spring decorating.
No doubt you have looked through
numerous sample books, but weren’t
the goods very much the same as last
year’s? Wouldn't you like to see some
thing new? New shades, new designs?
would’t you prefer novelties and styl
ish effects, provided they cost the same
or less than ordinary, out-of-date de
signs?
Don’t overlook my fine selection of
samples, 240 combination colorings,
sent me by the American Wall Paper
Company. The line contains a bigger,
brighter, more artistic selection of pa
per than ever before shown in sample
books.
Seeing will covince you that my
samples are better and newer than
anything in town and that notwith
standing this fact my prices are the
lowest.
I have papers in my line as low as
5 cents per roll and as high as 50 cents.
Some of the better goods are 36c, 40c
and 50c are of the same grade<*« pa
pers that last season sold for $1.50 and
$2.00 per single roll.
Remember that (except ingrains-)
my borders are priced the same ms side
walls, so you always know how much
a whole combination amounts to.
It costs you nothing to look over the
samples. I will take great pleasure in
calling on you wlion you are ready.

He Wasn’t Held Up.
A- stranger attempted to hold up
| Dick Panning one day last week, but
jdidn’t do it, owing to circumstances
over which he had no control.
Mr. Panning was observed to get
about $300 from a Gardnerville mer
chant just before leaving for Carson
and a stranger stepped up and asked
for a ride, a request that was granted.
When a few miles out of town the
stranger invited Mr. Panning to hand
over the money.
Mr. Panning dropped the reins and
gave the stranger a short jolt under
the jaw that completely put him out,
kicked him out into the brush and
whipped up his horses, arriving in
town without further molestation.
The stranger hasn’t put in an ap
pearance yet, and is not likely to.—

A Chance to Laugh.
Frank Grimes of Woodland, accord
ing to the Mail, tells a good story on
Uncle Dan Edson of that place. Dap
had an old razor-backed sow whose
reputation for storing away food was
known far and wide.
One day Dan got tired of hearing
her squealing for an appetizer so he
got a wheeloarrow and filling it full of
beets wheeled them out and dumped
them into the pen. Her sowship waded
into them at a lively rate. Dan made
up his mind that he would fill her up
for once so went back for another load.
His son Frank saw a chance to have
some fun on the side so he watched
until dad was out of sight when he
quickly jumped into the pen and threw
all the beets into a large barrel that
was standing on the opposite side of
the fence.
When the old gent returned the sow
was standing on her hind legs and
greeted him with the usual squealing
solo.
“Dad gast you,” said Dan, “I’ll fill
up your old hide yet,” and back he
went for another load only to return
and find that the last-one had disap
peared slick and clean.
He repeated the dose about five times
and was getting up a great sweat,
when all of a sudden he heard a
snicker from behind the fence. Grab
bing up a shake he went around to in
vestigate and found Frank in just the
proper attitude to take a good spank
ing, which he got in double-quick time.
