Another Fire.

About 2 o'clock this morning a fire
broke out in a vacant China house in
the rear OF Mr.. Brains harness shop,
that threatened, at one time, to get
beyond control and destroy. a great
deal OF property. Luckily, the wind
was not blowing, and the fire was
kept from spreading by the almost
superhuman efforts of the citizens
who hurried from their beds at the
first tap Of the fire bell.
The origin of the fire is involved In
mystery, as the house in which it
started has beens uuoccupied for the
last two months. Some incline to the
belief that it was the work of Bill in-
cendiary, while others think it owed
its origin to mice and matches. Be
this as it may, the alarm of fire is
getting too disagreesbly common of
late, and we incline to the opinion
that il fire bug is in town and he is
caught at his dastardly work, there
will be no need OF a court or jury to
set upoa his case. A short rope and
a telegraph pole will settle the diff
Guilty.
The house burned last night was
built little. over a year ago to take
the place Of the one then destroyed
by fire. The less is about $500 and
falls upon Mr.. Brain and the pro-
prietress OF the house who is at pres
emit in humboldt county.

The State Fair.

The Eighth Annual Fair Of the
State Agricultural Society closed last
evening. 1t ives one of the most sue
cessful and satisfactory of those year
ly gatherings. The attendance WAS
large, the races above the average,
the stock. exhibit creditable, and the
management all that could be desired
The display at the Pavilion was fully
equal to, il it did not excel, that of
former years. The exhibit of ladies'
handiwork was creditable to the skill
and taste Of the fair sex. The farmers
showed what can be- produced in the
cereal, fruit and vegetable line. The
mechanical department furniehed evil
dence OF the skill of our artisans, and
the exhibits by our merchants proved
that all the Injuries as we'll as the
necessaries Of civilized life can be
procured in Reno.
These annual gatherings are looked
forward to with pleasurable antici.
patton by tho people. They afford
them opportunity to meet together
and exchange views on public aud
private affairs, and though times are
dull and money scarce, there were
many visitors from all parts Of the
State at the Fair, and all seemed 70
enjoy themselves.-[Itano Journal.

Illegal Voting.

Bill Wslmsley has found out that
it is expensive for unnaturslized peo-
pie to vote in this country. About
month ago he voted at the State pri-
maries, more for fun than anything
else, us there was no contest between
delegates. Last Wednesday he was
arrested on charge Of illegal voting,
and pleading guilty was fined $50 and
costs. Bill says that he is glad he has
found out who some Of his enemies
are, and ia not kicking much about
donating the $50 to the school fund.
At the same time he has been the OBJ
ject OF showing that the American

tue Of the power vested in me as

by call a primary election to be held
