care of her mother, grew to womanhood

six surviving children she is spending the
evening of her eventful life.

A Douglas Enterprise.

Peter Hoffman. proprietor of the
flour mill on the East fork OF the Car
son river was in this city yesterday.
The mill has been running over two
years and is every day growing to be
o of the big enterprises Of Douglas
county. Last year $4,000 sacks Of
flour were turned out, and this wear
from the 1st. OF September to the
present time there has been 5000
sacks Of choice -four put on the
market and before the end Of the
season the output will reach $4,000
sacks. This is all made from wheat
grown in the valley and the flour has
had the effect OF running out the
Pioneer brand which formerly sup
piled the valley and surrounding
country.
Last a the Tallac House at
Lake Tahoe was supplied with the
Hoffman flour. and the big hotel con-
sumed two tons per month. The

nounce 1t superior to any in the
market and when once tried no other

A DOUBLE MURDER.
One Man Stabbed, Another
Nearly Drained and a Third
Seriously Wounded.

The Reno journal tells OF the fol-
lowing tragedy IN Sierra Valley:
Z. Maria "f Beckwith arrived last
evening and reported that tie town Of
Ninton in Sierra Valley, three miles
west of Berkwith Pass, was the scene
of a terrible ARRAY At about three
O'Clock yesterday morning in which
Tony Lompy, The proprietor OF the
Ninton Hotel, was nearly Drained, his
bar keeper, whose Dame could not be
learned, probably fatally stabbed and
a third person who Was sitting in the
bar room seriously woundei by n
stray bullet.
The particulars are EIeagrr and are
given as reported. Lon l01os, a we'll
Known young man Of Si,!rH Valley,
with couple Of companions rntered
the saloon Of Lompy and lea .nded
the loan Of S., Lompy declined to lend
the money and then Jones told the
h~ar-keeper to set up the drinks. The
laft"r told him that he had enough
liquor already and to go away and
sot er up. This displeasPd jones and
his associates and words followed aud
Jones assaulted the bartender draw
ing a knife and stabbiDg him several
times. Mr.. Lompy interfarred aud
rut Jones cut Of the house, but he re-
turned in a moment armed with a

his skull almost in twain. At this
moment a friend Of the two men who
were sorely wounded lad lying on the
floor. rushed in at a side door and at
tempted to shoot Jones, but in his ex-
cttemenC fired wildly and the ball
struck a man who Was sitting in the
rear OF the saloon, causing a serious
wound,
Jones, after seeing what he had
done, rushed out and mounted his
horse and escaped. Nj s,encers were
dispatched to Beckwith for physicians
and officers. The physiciaus have no
hope of saving Lompy as his skull is
terribly crushed and the ar-keeper is
in a dangerous condition and no ex-
pected to live. Jones was last seen at
Chat and it is believed that he came
into Reno on last evenings MOO.
but up to a late hour the officers had
not seen him.
Mr.. Lompy is a respected citizen of
Sierra Valley, and has a wife and
four children. The people of Vinton
and vicinity are terribly enraged and
il Jones is apprehended it will prob
ably go hard with him.

Mrs. Hartley on Geek.

On Sunday last Mrs. Alice Hartley.

excitement in Emanuel Baptist
CHURCH. At the conclusion of Rev. J.

from God to the effect that Durrant's
life should be saved, and that it was
the duty Of the congregation to save

him.

Governor to offer a reward for the ap-

The action of the commissioners in
refusing to offer a reward has caused

GROWING WEAKER.
Mother Mckinley Shows no Change
for the Better.-The President Main
1aips His Vigil.

Canton, Ohio, December 1.-This,
the tenth day Of Mrs. McKinley's i'll
ness, has been marked by a number OF
material changes, none of which has
permanently improved the condition OF
the patient, and as darkness approach
ed it was felt by those around her that
she had finished the last day OF her
life's journey. She was resting COM
paratively easy at that time, but was a
great deal weaker.
The doctor called at $50 o'clock and
reported that he found a material
cfaoge f + The worse, such a. he regard
ed as certain to bring about final disso-
luton during the night. He had not
even a faint hope that she could live
until morning.
President Mckinley continued his
vigil all Cay, much as he has the pre-
ceding days. He sat almost constant
ly in the sick room and there secured
about all the rest he had. His atten-
ton has been almost wholly given to
the patient, watching intently for the
slightest change.
He hat the newspapers at his side,
and when the mother rested most
peacefully he glanced over the columns
for the news of the day. Later in the
afternoon he and his wife emerged
from the house and took few turns
on the porch for exercise and little
fresh air and a little later he and his
brother Abner had similar walk.

Which May Necessitate Action by the Uni

Special to the Register.
Morgantown, w. Va, December Il
When the election was held last We'd
nesday night and the rest of the Apn-
testants were elected, it was thous hit
that the trouble was all over in the
Columbian Society. The defeated SIDE
said that they were fairly beaten and
that there was no use in keeping up
the fight. But another phase was put
on the matter last night by the action
that was taken. Conflicting stories
are told of the affair, but the one
which is generally considered as cCr-
rect is as follows:
A special meeting of the society was
held before the public performance
came off. But few of the members
were present, as there was not thought
to be anything of importance to be
transacted. One of the factions was
there in full force, however, and they
proceeded to reconsider the election.
The election was held behind closed
doors and admission was refused to
those who wanted in. A motion was
at once made ito reconsider the cleo
ton of contestants, and the motion was
carried.
But three of the contestants who
were already elected were thrown out;
the rest were retained. j. M. G. Brown
was substituted for B. H. Trussel, and
Elder was put in the place of l.. c.
Grille as orators. r. d. Heironimus
was given the place as DICTATOR instead
of Holly Thompson. A motion was
then made to reconsider the election
which had just been held, and the mo-
ton was rejected. This makes it inn
possible to put another motion to the
same effect, as the constitution pro-
hibits more than one reconsideration
of an election.
What will be done has not yet de-
veloped, but very warm time may
be looked for at the next session of
the society. The faculty will probably
have to be called in to settle the row.
