Slnco writ ing you a month ago, tho town has rown rapidly in population ana mo character of tho buildings has boon effinped In a romarltablo way. Now there aro substantial frarao build ing, many of thorn two story, whoro lbro woro only tonts noioro; anu thoro aro tonts and streets whoro n month ago tho sand rates, tho orig inal minors, and tho chuckwallns, tho Indigenous prospcotors, held jkway. Novada Btroot la for four blocks long a mass of eubstantlal bulldlngB, and Rawhldo nvonuo, a month ago only a namo, Is now a ro spcctablo buMness ntroot, with fino structures, nmong thorn a bank, sovoral rostaurantB, and of conirso, ranny saloonB, for this Is a dry coun try and tholr need Is great. Indeed, ono up-to-dnto thirst arrontor has In contemplation a road house half way to tlo cemetery, whoro tho mourner may pc.ir out n libation to lho departed and at tho camo tlmo abato, temporarily, a cumulative thirst. a , , Slnco writing last, two contracts for water syntonic havo boon lot, and a big resorvolr on Balloon hill, 300 tbet nbovo ho town, h noarlng com pletion.

Thoy nro much nooded, nt tho town Is absolutely without flro protection, unless tho boor supply should bo adequate Laugh not at this ns nn Idle JoBt, for -do'dflold was saved from destruction by tho liberal application of bottled boor when tho exploration Mercantile company's building cnught flro, as a flro oxtlngulshor It lin no cqunl. You boo tho flro would burst tho bottlcB thrown by hundreds of hands Into tho burning building; and tho boor would scatter from tho explosion, nt tho Bnmo tlnfo llbornt ItiR an Immonso quantity of carbon ic acid gas, which Is death to n flro but llfo to us Dutchmon. Whon tho flro was under control poldflold celebrated by drinking tho balance of tho flro oxtlngulshor. nut this storv has to do with Rawhldo, and (loldflold 1 not In our class.

Tho money paid for freight, now goes Into tho linnds of tenmstors nnd Is spont again; whllo with tho completion of tho railroad, tho mules will bo loft without a Job, and tho ranchers up nt Fallon would Iobo a good market.

Often thoro Is af ellng of weight on tha client, a full feeling In tho throat. , Sometimes the gas presses on tho heart and lead tho Bufferor to think ho hns heart di sease. Sick headacho Is a frequent and distressing symptom, Experience shows - that thdso troubles vnnlah just ns noon at tho stomntch Is made strong enough to dlgou tho food. In othor words, It needs a tonic that will rouse It to do tho work of changing tho food Into nourishment. A vory deltcato stomach requires easily digested food btJt naturo never Intended that tho food should bo digested before it Is eaten. Tho stomach must bo strengthened to perform Us own work and what It needs Is not food already digested but a tonic. Tho processes of di gestion nro controlled by tho blood nnd nerves, nnd medical sclonco has produced no better dlgcntlvo tonic thnn Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. A. J. Illglcy, whose farm Is near CnBBopo'Is, Mich., nnd whoso mrfll address is R. l- D. No. 1, that city, was cured by thoao pills. Ho says: "After suffering for several years with a weak stomach, It becamo so had about- thro years ago, that I wnB unnblo to work. I could not cat without having Intonso pain In my Blomnch nnd Ijowo'b. Food would farmont In my atomnch and tho gas would nearly wauffocato mo. Some times I would havo to vomit. I had sick headaches-and dizzy spells, my eyes would bocomo blurred nnd I could boo black specki floating be fore thorn. My henrt palpitated and I could not Ho on my loft sldo at all, nnd If I did nt night whon n sleop It would wako mo up. My nrniB woro weak nnd Boemod to bo comp'otoly tired out nnd helpless. Thoro woro shooting pain In my logs, which at sometimes wero too weak to bear mo mp. "Tho doctor did not help mo, bo whon I rend about Dr. Williams' Pink Pllla I mndo up my mind to try them.

I havo boen woll and strong ovor slnco and hone this stntoment will bo of help to others." Whllo po promp'y offeotlvo, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain no harmful stlmulnntB or oplntos.
