NEW TO-DAY.
NOTICE
To the Patrons of the Eureka
School District. Shall your
schools keep open for ten (1O)

months?
After having looked over the situation very
carefully, the School Board of this district
finds itself in a very embarrassing p sition re-
garding the conduct Of the schools for the
coming year. By cutting one teacher out of
not be more than enough money to run the
schools for a period Of seven months without
levying a special tax for school purposes.
The causes Of the shortage are such that
they cannot be overcome. and it is possible
that they will continue to exist for several
years.
The increase in the funds derived from the
State tax will not be more than 500, and
there is likely to be a decrease in the amount
of interest money, 30 the amount received
from the State will not be increased, while
the cut in the county taxes for school pur-
poses this year from 80 cents to 20 cents will
reduce the amount received from this source
40 per cent.
The roof OF the school house is in need of
repair, as it leaks in many places; nearly all
Of the blaekboards are completely worn out
and must be replaced, and many other repairs
and other equipments are absolutely necessary
and should be made as early as possible.
These repairs will cost at least $500.
With the county tax for school purposes low
cred as it has been, a special tax will not be a
burden to any one, and it is thought that
there should be no difficulty in raising the
necessary amount to keep the schools open
for the usual 10 months. The exact amount
that will be required. cannot be determined
by the Board at this time to enable them to
state tie amount Of the levy required on each
500 Of valuation in the district. and which
cannot be determined until the amount of the
July apportionment has been received by the
County School Superintendent. Notice Of
the amount of the levy will be published in
the Eureka SENTINEL before the date set for
the election.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to a
resolution Of the Board Of School Trustees of
Eureka School District, that an election will
be held at tine School House in said district on
Saturday, July 9th, 1907. to decide whether
a special tax shall be levied for the purpose
of raising money to keep the schools of this
district open for a period of ten months in
the next school year. Notice and publication
Of this resolution will be made as provided by
Sec. 10, Article 6, School Laws Of the State Of
Nevada.

eral incidents pictured in this picture
that are as absorbing as those OF many
thrilling dramas. THE Servant Girls
Rebel" is a very comical film. which is
exceptionally funny TO all women, and
"Europe's Greatest Wrestlers" is an in
teresting picture OF the superb strength
and agility OF some OF the famous ath-
letes Of Europe.
The Blind Girl and the Gipsy" seemed
to be interesting 10 everyone. and 1.-TWO
Lips" awoke hearty laughter. Red
Tape or Attempted Suicide" as it is
sometimes called, was withdrawn. the
management stated, because IL proved too
grewsome. Although the motion pictures
were even better than usual they did not
overshadow the hit made by Bob Alden
the popular baritone. in the stirring fire
song. 'The Man With the Ladder and
the Hose" illustrated with vivid motion
pictures that were watched with the
same close attention as Mr. Alden was lis
tened to- He was encored until he had

EMPIRE THEATRE

"Chinatown Charlie" which is A. II.
Woods Offering this week at the Em-
pire theatre. is one OF the most sensational
and elaborately staged melodramas seen
In this city for many a day. and affords
excitement and thrills sufficient TO last a
whole season. 1t won tremendous ap-
plause last evening, too. and so evidently
meets a popular demand.
The play is a vivid depletion OF New
York life In some OF its most degraded
phases Charlie" becomes a victim OF the
opium pipe; and just as he is about to
throw himself into a river and enter an
other prolonged dream. the pretty heroine
who plucks him from the grasp Of tho
yellow slant eyes appears Charlie first
appears I'm Chinatown. There he meets a
pretty shopgirl, Annie Gordon, played by
Leila Shaw, and escorts her party
through the dlapidated old dungeons
but unfortunately he is espied and his
loving cousin" enters. The cousin. Buck
Harris. cleverly portrayed by Raymond
Capp. conducts horse pool room where
women may gamble There the heroine.
who is also a telegraph operator. engages
herself as operator for Buck and his ac-
complice, Lora Marsh. the pool room
queen, played by Anna Laying.
Buck robS his rich uncle and transfers
the roll. through his accomplice, to
Charles pocket. Then the whole crowd is
arrested put annie frees Cnarne, Whlle
Murphy, the cop, and Louis Lofts are
1ghting for Maggie Malloys Irish heart.
Annie is still held a captive. but Lora
is discovered by Frank Reardon. the de-
tectve. played by Louis Hartman, and Is
left To languish in a cell.
Louis Lofts takes the pipe instead OF
the knife and has a dream He tears up
money and just then Charles enters and
there is plenty OF shooting When Louis
comes back TO himself he meets his old
friend" Murphy.
In the exciting chase over the roofs OF
Chinatown and Rat alley Annie escapes
on the bridge OF human people and
Charlie holds the villain at the point of a
pistol Louis is stabbed in the back.
The climax OF the third act Is the best.
and the play kept the audience in excite

only four previous struggles for tho
United states senatorship in this state

ent struggle is expected to be.
The first OF these, in 1895, after several
invitations from the house Of representa-
tives. the governor and senate joined the
house I'm grand committee at II o'clock on
the morning OF Jan. q. The candidates
were Albert g. Greene (Whtg), Elisha
r. Potter jackson DemocraD, and VII
liam Sprague. Jr. (Anti-Mason). After
20 unsuccessful ballots the legislature ad-
journed until the following May. The
Whig vote was Al, against an equal num-
Der OF votes divided between the opposing
candidates. Mr.. Greene would have been
elected early I'm the contest had not POT
ter and Sprague voted for themselves on
every ballot.
Nehemiah r. knight. who had been held
in reserve as dark horse. was brought
10 the front on May 10 and, Mr. Greene
having Withdrawn from the night, Knight
was elected over Potter. III 10 81.
The second notable contest came Jan.
20. 1851 when the grand committee on the
eighth ballot elected Charles T. James
who received IN OF the 80 votes. John
Whipple had 90: James +. Simmons -;

test required 2S ballots.
Curiously enough the last contest the
state had came I'm 1889. at which time eight
ballots were required, and George Pea

tion was to hll the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Jonathan Chace, Republi-
