EUREKA STAGE SCHEDULE.
TWO PETITIONS CIRCULATED
LAST WEEK.

The stage schedule between Eureka
and Ely has been the chief subject OF
discussion here during the past week
The matter was started by Tom Wei
line, who circulated a petition request
ing that the schedule be changed for
the months between December 1st To
April lst, allowing all of the stages to
leave Eureka at IA. NJ. The change
is the same as that proposed by Mr..
Clendennng last March. 1t is wholly
in the interest OF the contractor, who
no doubt has hard time to make ends
meet, and many signed the petition
through sympathy.
The business men, however, looked
at the matter in a different light. To
them the change meant that their busi-
ness correspondence would be a day
longer in making the round trip to
San Francisco or other markets. To
the NEWS it meant that the latest ex-
Nhahs'o hA4th ~ Noulu Ititlfo DblOIt
going to press each week would be
those of the previous Saturday, five days
old, whereas now we get Mondays.
All Of the mails would be from II to Is
hours later in getting into the hands of
the patrons of this Post-office than they
are under the present schedule
A counter petition protesting against
the change was therefore circulated and
received a large number Of signers, in
eluding nearly every business man in
town. This petition further protested
against the poor service which had been
furnished for some time past, though
in Justice to the contractors it should
be said that between November 22nd
and 29th the roads were very heavy
and they we're excusable for being late,
and that for the past few days the sta
ges have been arriving practically on
time. The two petitions will go up TO
the Department together, where the
matter will be decided.
For the benefit Of some who believe
that the stages are not reported when
late, we quote the following from the
Eureka Sentinel, though we do not be-
lieve that the reason assigned by Post
master Broy is entirely res 2onsible for
the heavy fines:
During the past year fines to the
amount Of between $500 and Sl00 were
assessed by the Postoffice Department
against John Clendenning, who has
the contract for carrying the mails be-
tween Eureka and Ely, and a petition
IS being circulated here this week ask
ing that these fines be remitted,
Postmaster Broy says that the sched
ule on that route was changed about
the first of the year from twenty to
eig ghteen and half hours, but that the
failed TO notify either the
Eureka or the Ely Office of the reduc-
tion In time until August /; and that it
is on account of Mr.. Clendenning' fail |
ure to get through within the time fix
ed by the new schedule that the heavy
fines we're levied. -

Thrown from a Horse.

Last Thursday, Dec, 1. 1900, while
driving calves into the corral, Otto
Simonsen, second Oldest son of n. Si-
monsen of Cold Creek, was thrown from
his horse, landing on his head. He was
Immediately removed to the nearest
house where he was carefully attended,
but he remained unconscious for sew
eral hours. DR.. Keen was summoned
from Eureka and made u careful ex-
animation, finding no outward sign of
injury. The Doctor remained a day
and night and the patient is slowly
improving. While the injury is serious,
we hope that he will soon recover

NEWS y Before leaving Elko he was
rendered a reception and banquet by
his Pensioners, among whom he is held
in the highest esteem.
A squaw known as Susie Baker was
found dead last Monday morning in the
wickiup above Chinatown, which she
occupied with her man, old White Riv-
err Sam, and another Indian named
George. The trio were drunk on the
previous evening and it is suspected that
Sam chol1ed his wife to death, which
should be warning to all of the gem
tier sex not to go on spree with their
husbands. Sheriff Scott is investgat-
ing the ease.
Mrs. Ranger Of this place received
the sad news yesterday of the death Of
her brother, Louis Revier, who was a
prominent citizen of the town of North
field, Minnesota. The Northfield News
pays a glowing tribute to his character
as a man and citizen, whose loss is de-
plored by all who knew him. Mrs
Ranger has the sympathy OF her many
friends in this second bereavement that
she has suffered within a few months
We are informed that the item in
our last issue concerning the accident
at the Robust mine has been misinter-
preted by some who obtained an idea
that we meant to east the blame on the
whim tender. Such was far from our
and in justice to Mr.. McKer-
nan we will say that he was away from
the shaft in the discharge Of his regu-
lar duties and bad set the brake before
leaving. The brake slipped under the
heavy weight that was suddenly thrown
upon the bucket and we understand
that Mr.. Ghigerri assumes the entire
responsibility for the accident himself.

SYSTEM of cooperation for he com ing summer has been arranged be-
 tween the division of forestry and the forest reserve work of the United
 States geological survey. The latter is a branch of the department of the interior. Field parties of each divis- ion will collect information desired by the other, and in some instances eX- change of men may be made. This system marks a distinct change from conditions of a few years ago, when there was sharp rivalry between the scientific branches of government serv- ice. The geological survey will give especial attention to collecting data on forest fires for the division of forestry.

Mrs. OSbOrne'S Meeting
Closed.

The meeting which Mrs. Osborne
has been conducting at NJ. f. Church
closed Sunday night. The church
was packed to overlooking, even the
doors and windows were full.
During her stay here Mrs. Osborne
has clearly demonstrated the fact
that woman can preach, and can
preach well.
Her sermons on toe cruciliXion and
the story of Moses were two of the
best that the reporter ever heard de-
livered. True, her grammatical mis-
takes are wonderful and amusing and
her delivery is bad, but she knows
how to reach the hearts of the great
mass Of working people who flock to
hear her aud to hold the attention OF
her hearers to the last.
Rev. Hubbard, the pastor of the
church, assisted Mrs. Osborne in the
series of meetings. MI. Hubbard
has been returned to the charge here
by the unanimous vote Of our Metho-
dist people here and elsewhere.
Mrs. Osborne returned home Mon
dav morning to her beloved "West

her in Big Stone Gap.
