Another Contest.

L. 5. Archer has filed a contest against
(. d. VanDuzer on the ground that Mr..
VanDuzer was not elegible to the office
Of District Attorney at the time of his

time a citizen OF the State OF Ne vada but
of the District of Columbia, where for
several years he has been acting as the
private secretary of the Francis &. New
lands, and also as the Land Attorney of
the State OF Nevada.

tant questions. Mr.. NanDu2er received

III" last election over his three COMPETE
tors, and if he was not entitled to hold
office it will be simple because the law is

BOUGHT By THE TRUST
Standard Oil Acquires the Output Of
Puente Oil Companv

1t was announced yesterday among local
oil men that the Puente Oil company has
sold it's entire output of refined petroleum
to the Standard Oil company. The import
ance of this announcement was immediate
ly felt by local dealers in illuminating oil
and the prices advanced per cent. 1t is
predicted that this advance will continue
until oil will sell at 20 per cent over the
present price.
The low prices for illuminating oil that
have prevailed for years were the result
of the competition between the Standard
Oil trust and the Puente Oil company, but
at last the methods of the trust have pre-
vailed and the Puente company passes
into the grasp of the trust
While the sale of this refined petroleum
company should not necessarily raise the
price of crude oil, 1t is noticeable fact in
the field that prices are nearing the dollar
mark.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
The Woman of Pesimism and Of Evo-
luton Compared

luton Compared
The audience room of the Friday Morn
ing club was hlled to the doors yesterday
morning by finely appreciative assembly,
gathered to hear DIR. David Starr Jordan
compare the woman Of pessimism with the
woman of evolution.
DR.. Jordan first gave digest of Scho-
penhauer's Essay on Woman" which sets
Aristotle placed her-as the reproductive
animal. intended solely for the perpetua-
ton of the race, and. therefore. neces-
sity. Without her, man would find child
hood rather helpless condition. middle
life barren of much happiness with which
she endows it, and old age barren desert.
Some of the defects which Schopenhauer
finds in woman DR.. Jordan admitted, but he
considered them the natural consequences
of her environment of emptiness and de-
pendence and Of her condition Of subjec-
ton. In the woman of evolution, these
and other frailties are being eradicated by
the processes Of a broader development.
The progress and stability of a nation may
be measured by the intelligent care of its
rising generations, which is woman's quo
ia of the work of the world. And 1t is
fully the equivalent of all that man may
AID to the sum of knowledge and achieve
ment. Culture and wisdom would avail but
little If they were not perpetuated. He
knows little Of life and its purposes who
does not recognize the value of the forces
of heredity and education, and who does
not understand that we are living for futur-
ity. Each individual may be no more than
the atom in the moving stream. but. never
theaess, is a part of it. and is responsible
for today's duty. 1.-THE highest wisdom is
to know what should be done today, and
the highest virtue Is to do it,

them to take steps. If necessary, to protect

In this connection 1t is worthy of note
that yesterday afternoon Superintendent

that he holds orders drawn by Contractor

signed to McCoombs. The warrant for
the work has not yet been issued. but Mr.
Drain was obliged to admit tina. he could
do nothing in the matter. The city attor-
ney's office was visited, when Pfrman stat
ed his intention Of taking the matter into
the courts and making test case. He was
told that in that event he would be given
every assistance possible by the city legal
advisers. Later on came the report Of the
