RESULT IN THE STATE.
Contest for Secretary Of State and State
School Superintendent Very Close.

AS the returns come in from the out
lying districts in the extreme points
of Nevada, the result of the contest be-
tween Eugene Howell and Glib Doug
lass for Secretary of State is more on
fusing. From the latest reports re-
ceived Howell has made considerable
gain, especitlly in Lincoln and Lander
counties. In Lincoln county he now
has over 200 majority, which helps
his fight materially. In Lander coun-
ty he has made gains as far as hard
from. In Elko county the small pre-
cincts that were not visited by the
candidates have returned a majority
for Mr.. Howell. AS the fight nov
stands, it is so close that an official
count will be necessary to determine
who will hold down the Office for the
next four years. Both men claim a
majority and both Headquarters are
doing the closest kind OF figuring.
In the fight between Ring and
Bray the case is almost similar. while
it looks like Ring has the advantage,
as he has received some great MAORI
ties in counties hat we're naturally
Democratic. This vote will take the
official count to straighten out.
lie DSHJ IOF IUt 1OutTO'tTSuIU is
pretty close. but Davis is still in the
lead, with Lincoln and Lander coun-
ties to hear from. As far as heard
from. Lander county has given Davis
a majority, while in Lincoln he has
made a standoff. If this continues
throughout the county he will have a
safe majority of over 200. with
a chance of gain in Nve and Hum
boldt counties. 4--e matorities receiv-
ed in Nve. Humboldt and Elko counties
have placed his chances to the good
by several hundred votes.
AS far as heard the vote OF Van Du-
ger and Sparks is being increased in
nearlv everv district. IT is now believed
that Sparks will have close TO z 600
majority. while Van Dnzer will sweep
the State with nearly 1.5O0. This is a
higher figure than the ~fusionists fg-
ured on. as thew believed that the Wig
orOns campaign of the PeDub1icans
would make q great difference. Swee-

A STAR COMPANY.
Famous Farce.Comedy to Be Presented Next
Thursday Night.

eTbe Irish Pawnsbrokers," that ia
nous lau~gh-producer, will be the at
traction at Armory hall next Thurs
day night, the 18th instant. This is
the third successful season of this
reigning h~ilariousness, and it is said
to be so entirely rewritten hat not
a vestige of the original comedy re-
/ mains. Manager Spears, ever wide
awake, realized that the public. while
they want to laugh, like some consist
ence of story. He therefore engaged
Mr.. Edgar Seldom, the noted young
farce comedy writer, to write him an
entirely new third edition of "The
Irish P~awnbrokers." In this new edi-
. ton the laughs come from the anus
I ing complication and funny situations
in which the piece abounds. There is a
4 weii-defined plot with some reason for
h everything that ocurs. The audience
I sees this, and therefore the laugh is
all the more enjoyable. The celebrated
farce comedy star triumvirate, Sulli-
van and Mack and Maize Trumbull
head the list as the chief fun-makers.
i They are ably assisted by Delmore and
I Wilson, Joe Ward, Bobby Bryant, Joe
J.. Conlan, w. III. Spencer, Eddie Brown,
Miss Lottie West Symmonds and a
beauty chorus.
The scenery outfit is very elaborate
special scenery for each act-so that
no house is used, which Is
something that rarely happens with
farce comedy entertainments. Special
attention has also been given to the
costumes which consist of many new
and original designs. The musical prO-
gram has been prepared with great
care, all the latest popular song hits as
well as some new numbers especially
written for the company are introduced
during the action of the piece.

VIII Grant Demands of Men.

The Southern Pacific officials have
taken both horns of the dilemma rela-
tice to increased wages and called a
conference with eacn order regarding
proposed increases.
From all indications the men will be
granted the majority Of their demands.
After the officials have concluded their
deliberations, the results will be for
warded to President Hartman and
passed upon by the e%specially appoint
ed committee and, lastly, the board of
directors.
The fact that machinists and other
men in different parts of the country
have been granted increases is taken
as a sure indication that the present
demands will be favorably acted upon.
