The Washington Post whacks the

ifs posse can fire into a crowd OF several
hundred Pennsylvania miners without

Conductor Chase OF the Sacramento
D,risioa =. fully demonstrated that his
name is appropriate. He is popular and
his four or five days visit at the State
Fair shows that he is up to date and
the railroad boys are willing to acknow-
ledge the palm.-Journal.
President Powning of the Agricultural
Association states that the receipts OF
the Fair will practically pay all the ex-
penses. 1t is a victory for Gen. Pown-
ing and we always have confidence in
his energy and pluck winning. Reno
would be a very slow place without Mr..
Powning.
The boys of the high school and gram
mar grades have organized an Athletic
Club with Louis Bryant for president,
and Leroy Pike for secretary. The boys
have been working industriously for
several days and have succeeded in fit
ting up quite an extensive gymnasium.

exercise in it.
Messages we're received from Rock
Springs last week stating that G. W.
Jones, Jr. was seriously i'll at that
point. His father was at the point
OF death several weeks ago in Deerborn,
Mich, and the son started to pay him a
visit. 1t is thought that his troubles
preyed upon his mind until he became
q trife unbalanced mentally. 1t is to
be hoped that it is only temporarily.
The Knights OF Pythias at Rock Springs
are giving him every attention and the
lodge here has sent one of the brothers
to bring him home.
Mrs. Kenyon, Mrs. Aleck Arthur and
two children arrived Monday evening, a
little tired from their trip across the
continent but still well and happy. Mrs.
Kenyon looks exceedingly we'll and her
trip from here to Canada and the east
ern States has done her much good.
| Mrs. Arthur's eldest girl couldn't bear
to part from her father long enough to
make the trip here and did not come.
| Mrs. Arthur looks well and while we
are glad to see her We wish Mr.. Arthur
could have come on a visit to his old
home. Miss Pearl Pike says she will
stay in the East until next Summer.
A charity ball will be given at Music
Hall a week from Friday night. 1t will
be the first event OF the season and
promises to be u very popular one. The

say that the music will be first-class as
everybody knows that those named will
comprise an orchestra the will please
the fancy OF the dancers. Admission,

ladies' from booths at % cents each.
The pupils of the High School held a
meeting yesterday to elect officers.
Halle Bulner aud w. Sexsmith ran for
President, but the vote was a tie.
Neither being elected, another vote for
President will be taken, says the Vir-
ginia Enterprise. Such a condition Of
affairs prevailed once before when the
editor OF the DISPATCH was attending
that school. The bright youths how
ever charged three of their feminine
classmates with lunacy, under Gushing
depriying the girls OF the right Of
suffrage while the charge was pending.
The boys won but the leaders Were
expelled from school and we had quite
a time getting reinstated.
