MENDED

speeches at recent meeting. aud that several votes
were taken different propositions in the bill.
No conclusion was reached except in one particu-
lar. The committee agreed that the result of the
votes taken should not be made public at present.
Mr. Carlisle made motion, which was adopted, that
refunding operations under the proposed law should
be confined to the five and six per cents. The bill
drafted by Mr.. Wood authorized the rcfunding OF
the 412 per cents as well as the fives and skies.
TRIBUNE correspondent asked prominent men,
Der Of the committee what kind of bill he
thought the committee would agree TO report.
We'll" he replied " If were going to make
guess | should saw it is probable report will be
made IN favor of 20-50 bonds at 3l2 per cent in an
amount large enough to take mp all the outstand-
in fves and skies except say 2OO,OOO,OOO

Another county Heard From.

Major John Dennis, of the Times-Re-
view, has known Uncle Dave Hall for "a
years. and noticing his announcement for
the Office Of Recorder in the SENTINEL,
sets it into him in this wise 1--WE no.
tice by the SENTINEL that Uncle Dave Hall
is a candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Recorder Of Eureka county. We
most sincerely hope that Uncle Dave will
be nominated and elected. He is q pioneer
OF Eastern Nevada and Of Eureka. He
has always been an enterprising and public
spirited man, honorable, generous and
kind hearted. He has been unfortunate,
his property having been twice badly dam
aged by food and twice destroyed by fire.
Although we'll along in years he is still full
Of pluck and if he gets a little start, will
yet come out on top Of the heap. He is a
fine scribe and accountant and will make
a frst-class Recorder and Auditor. If We
had a thousand votes in Eureka county
they should all be cast for Uncle Dave"

Every family on a ranch in the vicinity
OF Eureka Of course keeps one or more
cows, but we claim that the dwellers Of
towns should do so also. A trip over the
hills, at every point Of the compass, would
prove to any n that there is grass sufi-
cient for many more head OF stock than is
now feeding in this vicinity. All butchers
who are engaged in slaughtering beeves,
veal and mutton. pasture a herd or flock
about town, and the animals improve as
rapidly as upon any range in the State.
A COW. being we'll fed on the scraps Of a
household kitchen, will return for them
every night, and when necessary have been
known to travel for grass and white-sage az
far az eight or ten miles daily. Good milk
is the best Of all food for young children,
and 1t goes q long way in saving butter
bills. and in the preparation Of palatable
nourishing food Of many varieties. Even
the cry Of expense" in this method could
be avoided by two or three families uniting
aud dividing up. They would thus secure
q pure, rich, fresh, healthful milk at no
greater expense than they are at daily for
an inferior article. and at the same time
add to their home comfort and improve
the health OF their little ones.

A Hillside Conference.

Last Thursday, says the New York Min
ing Record Of the 18th, there was a confer
ence in this city between the representa-
tives Of some twenty odd thousand shares
Of the Hillside, and Mr.. J. b. McGee, one
of the Trustees Of the Company. We
assisted at this conference, and while find
ing Mr.. MCGEE apparently anxious to get
in accord with Eastern shareholders, and
even disposed to go SO far as to place the
further management Of the property in
their hands, unhappily, he was unable to
give any clear detailed information as to
the circumstances under which the Com
pany's affairs have been brought TO their
present precarious condition. However, a
committee Of three gentlemen have been
appointed to confer further with Mr.. Nc
Gee and the other Trustees, and to settle
on some definite course Of action to be
united upon by Eastern shareholders for
the rescue Of their interests in this really
valuable property.

The state Papers.

Reno State Journal: The dull times are
not without effect upon the newspapers of
the State, and although the impression has
been that there would be no startling
changes until after the election, some of
the papers have already taken time by the
forelock, and are sailing close to the wind.
The Elko Weekly Post has been reduced in
size, and the Eureka Leader resumed with
one column less on each page. After the
election we look for the ensmallment of
several of the papers, and it is not unlikely
that one or W may suspend publication.
There is hardly q newspaper in the State
that has paid interest on the money in
vested, for two years past. The cost Of
publishing a newspaper is a great deal
more in Nevada than in any other State in
the Union. The rate Of composition is
nearly double that paid in the East. The
newspapers have always been ahead of the
times. Here for instance, in Reno, are
published two daily papers, and each n
Issues q weekly edition. Almost anywhere
else in the country a town like this has all
it can do to sustain a single weekly. This
is the rule all over the State. Considering
the field they have to work in the papers OF
this State are models Of energy and perse-
yerance.

A Blaze which Came Near Proving
Fatal as Well as Disastrous.

Fatal as Well as Disastrous.
The sounding of the Rescue flre-bell,
about 10 o'clock last evening, brought
an immense throng Of people about W. H.
Clark's stone building, from whence were
issuing volumes Of smoke. The building
Is a large structure, extending from Maine
to Monroe, and along Clark streets. When
the SENTINEL reporter arrived upon the
scene, pillows, sheets, quilts, etc., were
being ~hurled-all in a fiame-out upon
Clark street from the Office door Of DIR. A.
G. Bishop.
But a few moments were 80 occupied,
when the fire was declared out, just
about the moment when the blaze was
actually squelched, a hose from the Rescue's
house was in order, and a powerful stream
threw the men at the nozzle off their pins,
and the water swept CLARK street Of its
crowd as neatly and quickly as would have
q water-spout at sea licked up q school Of
fish.
There is o division in DR.. Bishops Office,
made by q board partition reaching nearly
to the ceiling. and behind that are cup
posed to repose Charley Watt and Jas. w.
Smith every night. 1t was q neat little
bedroom. and if the DR.. was wanted in
cases of emergency Charley would '~'raise''
him. Like a good boy, Charles was in bed
and sound asleep. He left the light burn
ing, in order that Jim might not skin
his shin bones when he should see fit
to stalk home. When Charley couldn't
stand the smudge any longer he awoke
from his dream of hell, to find round
table, bedding, clothes, in fact everything
in the room on fire. Nearly %strangled to
death with the smoke, he rushed out, and
just then Mr.. o. Dunkel rushed in. Others
came to the rescue in good time. and emp
tied the Office and bedroom in short order,
thereby saving. perhaps, the last half Of
the town. 1t is a miracle that Mr.. Watt
was not suffocated before he was aroused
sufficiently to get out Of the room.
The Rescues and Knicks were on hand
in quick time, and found plenty Of water.
So did the crowd.
Evidently the fire originated from the
lighted lamp-probably burned toe low or
exploded.
The damage will not exceed 5000.
