the diamond official only aggravates
the source of the trouble, and is in
the highest sense injurious to the
game.
President Sexton states that it is
his invariable experience that the
source of all trouble between the
league management and the associa-
tions of the various cities springs
from fines imposed upon the players
He never heard of case in which
player, to hear him or the managers
of the club tell of it. was fined for
anything worse than modestly pro-
testing a point. As a matter of fact
everyone knows, when he stops to
consider the matter seriously, that
the umpire is forced to stop matters
before it gets to the point of abuse
or he will have the players trampling
upon him i'm an instant. Ii is a game
of bluff all the way through. If the
players get the least lee-way they go
after their man till they and the
crowd eventually drive him out of the
business. The vicissitudes i'm the strug-
gle of life i'm which the fittest sur
wives is not more aptly eXemplified
under any circumstances than in the
case of the umpire i'm the average pro-
fessional game of ball.
May Not Count.
There is some doubt whether the
game played at Decatur with Spring
field can be counted in the percentage
of the two teams or not. 1t matters
little with Springfield, but Decatur
will probably be anxious about it, 1t
had been expected that Pittsburg
would play an exhibition game Mon
day at Decatur, and accordingly the
consent of President Sexton to play
ing double-header Sunday so that
the regular Monday game could be
gotten out of the way was secured.
When Plttsburg cancelled the game
Springfield was recalled. and played
what the reports sent out claimed
was an exhibition game. 1t was sup
posed here that the Monday game was
played in place of one that was post
poned early i'm the season. but the
matter being brought To the attention
of President Sexton today he has adj
dressed inquiries to the two teams to
learn what the understanding was 50
that a correction may be made in tn,
percentages of the two teams if the
game was merely tor exhibition pur-
poses.

The text for the morning sermon

spiritual house."
The speaker gave an interesting de-
scription of some of the beautiful
temples built by Jews, heathens and
Christians. But none of these COM

huilt by Goa. Tie stones that go in
to the walls of this building are men

EAST=BOUND FLIER ALMOST
TOTALLY DEMOLISHED
Several People Injured in Wreck Saturday
Night, Which Was Caused
by Broken Rail

Never was there so general a smash
IN in the history of railroading, with
out attending loss of life, as that
which occurred between Winnemucca
and Golconda at 2:45 yesterday morn
ing
Train No. 2, the east-bound fiier,
left Winnemucca at 2:30 and was run
ming at the time the accident occur
red at the rate of mile minute.
broken rail, due to the crystalliza-
tion of the metal under the extreme
low temperature, caused the catas-
tropbe. The rail that gave way was
op the outside of the curve, where
il had necessarily to withstand an
enormous shock from the heavy loco
motive that pulled the train.
The engine, dynamo and mair car
passed over the broken rail in safety,
but the buffet, diner and three sleep
eN were piled up and rolled over in
inextricable confusion.
The compartment car, at the rear,
remained on the rails.
That no one was killed is almost
miraculous, for the interior of the
cars is a mass of wreckage.
The work of rescue was made diff
cult by the darkness and the zero
weather but is was heroically carried
on until every passenger and train
man was extricated from the wreck.
Fortunately the demolished cars did
not catch fire.
Only three persons were badly hurt,
a lady passenger, the train barber and
a waiter. None of them will die.
When day dawned the scene beg
CARED description. The wreckage was
much more complete than the appall-
ing catastrophe near Mill City.
Wrecking crews were dispatched at
once and by A o'clock last evening
the track was cleared.

and the show people was apparent to
all present.
But Mr.. Bonnfield is a might small
factor in the Winnemucca Publishing
Company, and he certainly was In
error when he made the remark he
did.
In fact if the office had been de-
molished and several people killed in
the narrowly averted battle that fol-
lowed his un-ealled-for remark, Mr..
Bonnifield would have been respons-
ihle,
Despite the command of Mr., B. to
the officers the latter did their duty
and cleared the building.
An hour later the members of the
theatrical company were placed under
arrest.
These people are simply an incon-
siderate and inconsiderable lot of
transformers, not worthy of any fur
ther of the Silver States time.
On motion of the District Attorney
they were turned loose this morning
and allowed to go on their way re-
joicing.
This whole affair was one in which
the show people played a small part.
The purpose of it all was to force to
an issue matter that has been brood
ing for some time
The Silver State has been hampered
in its work by pretending friends who
have been attempting to undermine
this papers influence. They have
shown their hand at last.

otIng. 7 he editor submit Il L!mself

THE REVIVAL
IN NEVADA
Sagebrush Stats Is Now the
Scene oF Prosperity and
Activity

Nevada holds high position among
/ teh States of the Union in the matter
of production, says the Colorado
Springs Mining Record. The mining
history of this State is replete with
many instances of highly sensational
character, the most startling of which
is the wonderful record of the famous
Comstock lode From the mines on
this lode a production of about $780,
900, 900 has been made, and the other
mines of the State have contributed
precious metals to the amount of over
a billion dollars. Long famous as
Nevada has been, and many as have
been the fortunes made, Nevada is ex-
periencing a revival which promises
great things for the future.
The revival of interests is general
throughout the State. Old properties
are being reopened, old camps are be-
ing rejuvenated, and new camps of
much promise are rapidly pusing to
the front.
OF the old properties special mention
must be made of those on the Com
stock lode. With the application OF
modern methods of operation these
properties are again yielding their
wealth. and the record for the year
lust ended shows a material gain over
last year, with the amount we'll into
seven figures. Electric prmps, the
mower for which is transpor, / nearly
forty miles, are keeping the water
down. the Sutro tunnel is being ex-
tended to drain the workings on the
southern limits, and modern methods
of treatment are making profitable
ore which formerly had to be dis
carded. The Comstock may again be-
come a leader in the mining world!
OF the newer camps, Tonopah Is
receiving the lions share of attention.
and it becomes more evident all the
time that a monster producing propo-
sition is being developed. The mad
eouate transportation facilities greatly
handicap the camp, but such results
are being attained, the railroad VIII
OF necessity be forthcoming Inc
Wedekind district in Washoe county
and other camps are developing hne

assaulted" Saturday evening, but it
is a long story and requires begin
ming at the commencement.
About week ago the advance agent
of troupe of players came into this
Office and negotiated for the adver-
tisement of his corapany's engagement
here. The price was satisfactory and
arrangements were made.
Later this Madison Square Theatre
Company decided to advertise by
means of dodgers printed in another
office
Word arrived that the company was
rotten" in the parlance of show
people.
The moral influence of the aggre-
cation certainly would not prove ad-
vantageous to the people who attend
ed the play.
The Silver State gave an intimation
of this to it's readers and the show
people returned the compliment from
the stage.
IN, fn thic mold hioh
compliment to new Winnemucca
paper, which responded by publishing
for them a dodger holding the editor
of the Silver State up to the ridicule
of the community.
These wandering show people made
a grand stand play for advertising
effect by parading the streets Satur-
day afternoon looking for the editor,
upon whom they threatened to infiict
great bodily injury.
He was through with his duties for
the day, but, in order to avoid the
charge of cowardice,. he sauntered
down town to where the seven mem
bers of the company were formed in
battle line. The first skirmish was a
bloodless one In fact there is no
evidence that any of the blows reached
home
By this time a large crowd had
gathered and some little excitement
followed. The editor asserted that
the allegations he made were correct
to the best of his knowledge, but
volunteered to retract any statement
that the show people could prove to
be untrue.
This caused the members of the COM
pany to grow menacing again, but the
second skirmish passed without casu-
alties, although several guns had
made their appearance and general
shooting affray seemed imminent.
Sheriff Lamb and Deputy Muller ar
rived and began to clear the office.
At this juncture w. S. Bonnifield
took upon himself the liberty to for
bid the officers from breaking up the |
ructions. He told every man
tc stand in his place. One OF the Sill

throw Mr.. Bounifield out and he lat

they will never break, and will
next apply his discovery to ar

ply it to a small piece Of armor-

successful, and he has no doubt,
after the success he has had with
other things, he will try it on a

There is only one secret in the
process, and that is the chemical

bringing it to. a red heat. After
that is done, he again puts the
steel in the fire and draws it to
the hardness required for the diff
ferent kinds of work. There are
three of these degrees of hard
ness, of which he judges by the
color the heated metal. For this
purpose a good light is needed,
in order that he may judge accu-
rately of color.

A Beautiful Souvenir.

The June number of the Pa.
cifc Monthly closes its ninth
volume. 1t is largely devoted to
the Willamette valley, contain
ing about seventy-five illustra-
tions of scenery, industries, pro-
ducts, ETC., all designed to show
the beauties, the resources and
the possibilities of this great
region. There are two separate
and distinct articles, one "The
Willamette Valley in Spring
time" written by the maga-
zines able manager, Mr.. Will
liam Bittle Wells, "The Coun-
ties of the Willamette Valley"
contributed by several we'll quail
flied writer's, and the poem of
the late Sam L. Simpson is re-
produced. It is but justice to
say that this valley in its entire
ty has never before been shown
to better advantage. The SUBJ
Jects for illustration are so num-
erous and so we'll selected, and
withal SO perfectly brought out,
that they cannot fail to please
everyone who sees them. The
writer's, too, have done their part
in good taste and effectively.
About eleven thousand of this
excellent issue will pass into the
hands of readers in the various
states of the country, and we are
sure the valley will reap great
benefit.
The Pacific monthly now en-
ers upon the last half of
is fifth year. 1t has become
more and more deserving of the
'atronage which it receives with
ach succeeding year. Every
itizen of Benton county and, in
act, the Willamette Valley
hould have copy of the Month
Y for June.
