wiunemuccs Silver State.
The Silver State has learned from re-
liable sources that q strong effort Will be
made during the coming session OF the
Legislature to move the State capital
from Carson to Reno. This will entail
upon the taxpayers of Nevada an enor-
nous expense without, so We believe,
any accruing benefits to the State at
large. The capital would thus be brought
no nearer the geographical center nor
the center Of population of the State.
Should the capital be moved there is but
one place to locate it, and that is Win
nemucca. This town is centrally located
and is available from all parts Of Nevada.
The Humboldt delegation will have their
eyes open at Carson this Winter, and If a
move is to be made it will be thiswards.
Virginia Report.
Last week an advance of / cent q gal
lon in the price Of coal oil was announced
BY the Standard Oil Company. 1t was
not the first advance in price since the
anthracite strike. The price OF oil per
gallon is three and one-half cents higher
than il was when the anthracite strike
began. This is an advantage of nearly
fifty per cent. No advance has been
made in the price of oil in foreign coun'
tries by the Standard company where II
has to compete with Russia. While the
Rockefellers are teaching the doctrines
oil Christ in New York Sunday schools
they are adding to the burdens OF the
poor-now too great to bear with resigna'
tion-by increasing the cost Of existence
as light is next to food in Importance
A more selfish, more merciless, lest
scrupulous, more Unsuitable, more cold
blooded man than Rockefeller could
scarcely be imagined, if the historian
correctly relates what he has done t.
crush out competition.

ARREST OF CHAMBLIss.
Charge Against Factory Employe
 Causad SurnrSe

SuhIS0 ABhIASC 9ECCOTy Gmp1OYS
 Caused Surprse.
 The arrest Saturday of Lawson c. Chambliss, superintendent of the Ala bama Cordage Works, on a charge of burglary alleged to have been committed four years ago, caused considerable sur prise in Montgomery.
 Frank Macdonald, secretary of the Cordage Company, said yesterday that Chambliss had not made any effort to conceal his identity. He was in regular correspondence with his friends and rel atives in Macon. Ga., where his family Is prominent and influential. Chambliss was also the correspondent of textile journals and invariably signed his name to his articles.
 Before leaving for Macon with Detec- tive Amerson, who caused his arrest, Chambliss declared that he had never committed burglary in his life. Sev- eral years ago. he said, while on a lark with some young men he broke open a door to get a man who had insulted him and his friends. He was so ashamed of the incident that he left Macon. He believes his arrest Is due to this incl dent. and he assured his friends that he would be acquitted of any serious wrong doing and would return to Montgomery.
 Secretary Macdonald of the Cordage Company desires the statement made that Chambliss was not an official of that company. He was merely an em- ploye.

BRIDGE OVER RIVER
A SELMA MAN sRcuRFs A FRAN-
Baton lEickle Appeared Before Montgomery County Board of Rev. enue and Outlined Plans
 County's Weekly Expenses.

The Board of Revenue of Montgomery County yesterday listened to a proposi- ton of Belton Mickle of Selma to span the Alabama River between the counties of Montgomery and Elmore with steel bridge. He was granted franchise to do 90 by the Board of Revenue with the pro- viso that the grant was entirely satis- factory to the War Department.
 The proposition of Mir. Mickle as out lined by him at the melting yesterday was that a stock company. the names of the members of which he did not divulge. had been formed with capital stock of sSo.ooo. The stock company had not been incorporated, he said, on account of not wishing to proceed before the sanction of the Board of Revenue had been SC. cured.
 His company. he said. proposed to erect steel toll bridge across the Alabama River somewhere between Montgomery and the Junction of the Coosa and Tal- lapoosa Rivers.
 Mr. Mickle said he thought that if all plans were successfully executed. the bridge would be built during the low wa ter period next summer. In awarding the franchise. the Board of Revenue freed itself from any liability of expense.
 SThe members of the Board generally discussed the purchase of the traction engine which is now being given test on the Wire Road. It was the opinion of the Board members that the engine is labor, time and money saving. but it was decided to watch the work. of the engine another week before any definite conclu- sion was reached in reference to its pur- chase.

SCHOOL BEGINS AGAIN
HEBRON STREET PUPILS WENT
 TO BOOKS YESTERDAY.
They Lost But Two Days By Fire and are Fairly Accommodated in Old BillIng Resi-
 dence.

Although, only a lapse of two school days had intervened since the Heron street school building fire, the three hun dred and eighty-flve pupils of that school yesterday morning returned to their stud les at the old Billing residence, on Clay ton street. The students of the Boys High School, who vacated the Billing house, transferred their headquarters to the Hammer Hall school building.
 No regular work was done by the Her ron street school yesterday. The day was busily spent by the teachers, how ever. providing the pupils with new book lists and arranging the children for their studies as comfortably as the limited quarters would permit.
 It was decided that the school day would have to be divided into two sec tions to Accommodate all the pupils. One section of the school will begin its work at S:3O o'clock. and the pupils will re- main at their studies until noon, when they will be dismissed. The other sec tion will then report for duty and studies will be in order until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
 Miss Virginia Hereford. principal of the school, decided to have a monthly alter nation of the two sections in order that part of the time, at least. the entire school. should have the benefit of the
 
 more beneficial than work in the after noon.
 In speaking of the accommodations at the temporary headquarters of the school. Miss Hereford said last night, that in view of the difficulties, the pupils and teachers labored under when they were quartered in the old Plant System Hos pital building, two years ago, after the first fire, she was agreeably surprised with the facilities, she found at the Billing house yesterday. Although there were not enough desks. the school board had secured quite a sufficient number of chairs for the pupils. which. owing to the absence of books. was all that is necessary for the time being.
 Miss Hereford said that until an ad- justment of the insurance could be had, the children would have to do without books, as they were supplied by the city after the first fire to replace those lost by the pupils. She said, however, that the teachers were expending more than ordinary effort to give the children the best instruction possible without books and make the school as successful as possible under the adverse circumstances.

SERMONS BY DA.. LITTLE.
Visiting Minister at First Presby
 terian Church

tertan Church. Dr. A. A. Little of Selma, who is con ducting a series of services at the First Presbyterian Church. interested a good sized congregation last night with a strong sermon.
 His subject was, "The Conversion of Zaccheus." and he chose as his text, Luke xix:2. He showed the hindrances thrown Tn the way of Zaccheus and his coming 10 Christ, and how the hindrances were overcome.
 At 10:So o'clock yesterday morning Dr. Little preached an interesting sermon, his subject being Walking With God"
 A large congregation heard Dr. Little Sunday morning. He spoke from Luke VI: Now when he had left speaking he said unto Simon: Launch out into the deep and draw your nets in for a draught."
 The sermon was an earnest, eloquent appeal for a more practical application of Christianity
 In conclusion Dr. Little said:
 We are 1aborers together with Cod doing what? Saving souls, building up the Temple. Light is given us that we may spread it. We are the servants of light, Gods living torches.
 Our duty rests on three things.
 T. The example and calling of Jesus
 
 given us at Antioch. Our aim is Christi likeness. As we get close to Him. we get closer to each other.
 Now in what was Jesus pre-eminent? |? Self devotion to the saving of souls. It was to that and for that He came into the world. He put himself in complete touch with men.
 Can you not do the same? Can you sit down in supine idleness?
 Follow me'-dees that mean that Jesus must win the victory, and you and I en- joy the triumph? Oh no. 1t means our real business is saving souls
 Conditions of success in soul win ming. It is not every man who succeeds in winning souls. Some men catch fish. some men catch nothing There are con- ditions of success in catching souls as well as in catching fish. These men were out of their ship mending and washing their nets. The secret of Christian weak ness Is inconsistent living. Some great sin persisted in has broken the net. It is useless to let it down till it is made whole.
 "Oh, brethren, if we can throw our selves on God, rebuke sin and let His word shine in us and through us then we will be a power for saving men. The lamps of the light house must be clean before they can light the ships home. Get your hearts right. full of faith, patience, love for Jesus and love for souls, and you can let down the net.
 ''S Foil and tact and contact. Launch out into the deep'-that means go where sinners are. Many a Christian church is congeeted and congealed, full of Chris tians complacently satisfied to sit in cushioned pews. to be tickled with pleas ing words. to drop a few dollars in the basket, never thinking of the wretched and degraded little way of. "If we will reach souls lost We must go to their homes."
 pr. Little will preach each morning and evening this week at 10:30 a. m. and 7:3O p. m., excepting Saturday.

NO LIQUOR SOLD SUNDAY.
According t. Police SaloonkeeperI
 Complied With Law.


 Complied With Law.
 According to the records of the Mont gomery Police Department, no liquor was Isold in the city Sunday. Wise ones, how Vever, say that a thirsty man could pro- cure a drink, if he was willing to use some effort.
 But Sunday was decidedly the dryest day Montgomery has known in some time. If there was drinking. 1t was side door drinking. Knowing ones say thai no liquor was sold across bar counter
 Police Chief A. S. Gerald said yesterday that the police, as they had been doing. were as vigilant as possible and kept the drinking down as far as the limited force at his command would admit.
 In following up his sermon on ''Civic Righteousness" delivered two weeks ago. in which he touched on Sunday viola tions, Rev. E. E. Cobbs, rector or Sl' Johns Episcopal Church, in his sermon Sunday morning referred to the whiskey evil. He advocated the passage or an or dinance by the City Council prohibiting the sale of liquor by hotels and restau- rants and compelling the bar rooms to abolish the system of door screens.
