The Nevada Office of the secretary
of state did a big business last quar-
ter and the total fees of the office
reached a phenomenal amount, the
whole amounting to $3S, 1889,
sum greater probably, than the office
returned in year few seasons ago.
A large part of the amount was re-
ceived from corporation fees, this
source amounting to considerable.
State Superintendent Orvis Ring
of Carson has just undergone an
operation at the Lane hospital at San
Francisco and reports from there
state that he is now improving nicely.
Mr.. Ring went to the coast town

ment from which he has suffered for
some time. The operation was per-
formed several days ago.
The postoffice department an
nounces that the special mail service

George T. Mills, secretary of the
Nevada Fish commission, has receiv-
ed thirty dozen crawfish from As
toria, Ore, for planting in Nevada
streams. The crawfish were fine,
large fresh water specimens, and ar
rived in excellent shape. G. G. Thorn
as, fish culturist, took fifteen dozen
of them to the Truckee river for
planting there; Mr.. Grove took ten
dozen to the Carson river for plant
ing and Mr.. Mills took five dozen to

Despite the prevalence of strikes
and unsettled financial conditions of
the country Tonopah continues to
grow and prosper, as is well evil
denced by the business done through
the postoffice for the quarter ending
with September, compared to that
transacted during the quarter pre-
vious. Following are the figures:
The registry receipts represent an in
crease of $1,700, the postal receipts
$61S.53, while the money ored bust
ness was increased by just one-fourth
over the last quarter.
| Henry Hudson Beck, known to all
the oldtimers of Nevada, died at the
Nevada hospital at Reno last Satur-
day, after a lingering illness. The
deceased was ~ years of age and
came to Nevada in 1860 from Ohio
his native state. Mr.. Beck was a
Democrat politically and always took
a prominent part in the affairs of
his party after his coming to the
state. He was member of the lower
house of the Nevada legislature five
times. He was first elected in 1864
again 1866, again in 1871, again in
1875 and the last time in 1889. Po-
litically he was always recognized as
a radical but in spite of that he had
the esteem of his opponents. Foul

WILL NOT SIGN NOW
GAY-TEAGUE LEASE IS HELD UP
 FOR PRESENT.
Manager c. R. IIerxey of 3Iobile Hotel Interests Declines to Act Until He Sees What the Extra
 Session VIII Do.

In statement published in The Mo- bile Item, c. R. Hervey, manager of the large Hervey hotel interests and one of the best known men in his bus mess in the country. announces that he has declined to sign lease for the new Gay-Teague Hotel, now building in Montgomery, until he sees what the extra session of the Legislature Will do.
 The statement was made as a con tribution to the controversy which has been waged in Mobile as to why .he city did not get certain mac ifa. turing and commercial institutions which had been promised it.
 John Craft. one of the most prom fnent citizens of Mobile, declared that because of adverse legislation Mobile failed to secure several industries which had been headed that way. lie was challenged to name the industries by local paper. in 8 statement pub lished in a Mobile paper, Mir. Craft gave the detailed figures as he had them.
 Mir! Hervey seconded the statement of MT. Craft. and frankly statai taat the lease, on the new hotel in Mont gomery had not been signed because he was afraid of more adverse legis- lation.
 The statement from Mir. Hervsy in The Mobile Item is as follows:
 The statement of President John Craft of the Commercial Club that ad- verse legislation was working against Mobile, is borne out by the statement recently made by c. B. Hecvey, the general manager of the Hervay hotel interests.
 "He says that for some time he has been considering thes matter of 1eas- ing the new hotel at Montgomery, Lut has not signed any papers until the Legislature which has been called in session has adjourned.
 MT. Hervey is not in favor nf pro- hibition and says that such a move in Alabama will mean the loss of thoas- ands to hotel men in Alabama.

 Meetings.
 Birmingham. Oct, 12.-(Special.)- Both sides in the prohibition campaign will make the welkin ring Sunday in Birmingham. The i-prohibitionists have leased the Bijou theatre, the larg- est theatre in the city, and will pre- sent several speakers. It is announced that there will be no criticism passed on those who favor prohibition.
 The prohibitfonists will have ser- mons delivered in dozens of churches in Birmingham and the various suburbs in the morning and evening, and dur ing the afternoon will have a mass meeting at the Jefferson Theatre, one of the best theatres in the city.
 Mrs. Armour, of Georgia, who is working hard in the campaign in Jeff ferson county for prohibition, will be the principal speaker at the theatre Sunday afternoon. Clinton N. Howard of Rochester, N. r., the well known reformer and orator on prohibition questions, will deliver and address at mass meeting to be held Sunday af- ternoon at the First Methodist Church the largest church in the Birmingham district. He will also speak Sunday evening and every afternoon and even- ing during the week at the Methodist Church. The anti-prohibitionists will hold a mass meeting at Ensley and also at Pratt City during the next two or three days, with other meetings be- ing arranged.
 The election takes place on the 2Sth inst, and no time is being lost by either side. A large sum of money is being expended by those opposing pro hibition. Heretofore the mails have been used extensively in getting to the voters by the anti-prohibitionists But now the speech making method will be employed.
 The prohibitionists are confident that the majority in favor of the cause is going to be considerable. Every preacher in the district Is working for, prohibition and the pulpits ring out with the cause not only on Sundays but almost every day. The women of Jefferson county have perfected organ ization and are assisting the men in the campaign. The parade to be par ticipated in by women and children, is still under consideration. The schools will probably be closed on the day of the election so that the children can be around the polls and advocate prohibi- tion.

tagonist they recognize that crisis is at hand.
 At a dinner given in anniversary of the fallen Emperor's retirement, Phil- fppe challenges Max to deadly combat. and although he kills his man upon the field of honor, he nearly succumbs to the treachery of Flora, who employs a servant of her dead lover to assas- sinate Philippe.
 Again he triumphs and the climax of the play comes in a surprising cat astrophe in which Philippe expels. her from the Rouget mansion and by so pdoing maintains The Honor of the Family"
 Champ Clarlx's Lecture.
 The opening of the Montgomery Ly- ceum at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday evening is being looked for- ward to with great pleasure by the many patrons of the Association. The occasion will be one of more than pass ing importance. as about 500 season admissions have been sold to the best people of the city.
 Hon. Champ Clark, the brilliant Con- gressman from Missouri and one of the national leaders of the Democratic Party, will speak on this occasion, and packed house is assured. He will be introduced by Governor B. B. Conner, and will take for his subject "Pictur- esque Men," which is considered to be his best lecture.
 Seldom in the history of the country has a public man made so great and widespread reputation as an orator as Mir. Clark
 As a debater and thinker MT. Clark takes front rank either in or out of Congress. As a wit, his personal friends and multitudes who haveheard him. place him high on the roll of those that woo sweet laughter from the lips of men,"
 Clark may well be termed the Lorenzo Dow of the Democracy in the House. the motor of his elocution being< inn pulsiveness, fanciful phrases and fan tastic suggestions. As a public lec- turer Champ Clark has achieved great success, and has enjoyed a constant and increasing prestige throughout the entire United States.
 He is a man of splendid physique tall erect, athletic and the picture of health and physical manhood. A bright twinkle in the keen blue eyes setrays the natural humorist, even if it did not crop out in the dry utter ances that are a delight of the listen CT.
 The management of the Lyceum this season has contracted for six of the best attractions of the American plat form, to appear on the course this sea- son, including, besides MT. Clark, Fred erick Warde the eminent tragedian, in a Shakespearean recital: Father L.. J. Vaughn, of Wisconsin, the great dra- matic orator: Ebert Hubbard, Fra El- bertus" of ''Philistine" fame. and two muscal numbers-the Mehrtens -Sheri. dan Company and the Ernest Gamble Company.
