New School Law.
Lafayette, Ind

Supt. Crabbe has issued another
pamphlet about the new Kentucky
school law. From it we take the
following paragraphs:
y SecOnd-The County Superlntend-

shall subdivide each educational d.
vision into school subdistricts. Bouh-

Fies are fixed by these officers a.
Dovs named The lias Of white and

that the officers named are the ab-
solute authority to fix and chang
, he educational division. But selac-
~. - Of the new law directs that

baye full power to establish new
school subdistricts and TO change the
boundaries Of school subdistricts
The trainers of the act, however, had
no intention of ultra-rigid boundaries.

TELEGRAPH
COMPETITION
IS ASSURED

The Postal Telegraph company is
rapidly building it's lines into Tono-
pah. Some time ago the company
started on the line from Los Ange-
les and inside of month the line
should reach this city.
The company has secured the room
now occupied by Richardson's store
in the Brokers' Exchange building
and will have its Office there. 1t has
also in conjunction with the Southern
Nevada Consolidated Telephone and
Telegraph company, secured five
rooms upstairs in this building,
where bookkeeping departments of
both concerns will be conducted. The
telephone company will occupy the
back room of the PostaIs Office,
downstairs, for the central Office, and
the switchboards will be moved there
in the near future.
The advent of the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable company means
much to Tonopah and the entire
southern district and it comes as an
assured forerunner of the forecasted
good times.

HOWELL CASE
IS NOW UNDER
ADJUSTMENT

The case of T. M. Howell who was
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
Paul Delaney on the charge of en-
bezzling funds belonging to Delaney,
had his preliminary trial in Judge
Brisselrs court yesterday. From the
evidence introduced it appears that
Howell collected something over
5000 for advertisements that APPEAR
ed in the Death Valley Magazine, OF
which Delaney is editor, and failed
to make proper accounting for the
same. Howell stated that he was
working under a partnership agree
ment. Judge Brissell took the case
under advisement and will render
his decision at 2 o'clock this after
moon. In the meantime Howell is
confined in the county jail, he being
unable to secure the amount of $500
at which his bonds were placed.

NATIONAL NOW
SHIPPING ORE

Robert Wilkinsons team arrived
yesterday from National with eight
tons of high grade ore, which was
shipped to the Selby smelter by the
First National bank, says the Hum
boldt Star of Wednesday. The ore
consisted of los sacks from the
Walker lease on the Auto group,
twenty-four sacks from Harvey and
Arnolds lease and twenty-five sacks
from Bradford, and company's lease
on Charleston hill. 1t is not known
how high the ore will run in values,
but there is no question that it is one
of the richest shipments ever sent to
any shelter. The values in the Wal
ker lease are known to predominant
in silver, this being the property Oh
which the original strike was made
by J.. L. Workman at National. The
values in the ore from the Charles
ton hill lease predominant largely in
gold. These leases are the ones that
have produced ore of the sensational
specimen variety and from which a
couple of shipments nave been made
by express. The bonanza ore sent
out in these express shipments was
valued at $40 per pound.

charge. At this announcement the
following business men stated that
they will contribute the sums named
for that purpose: H. ]. Hall. $50;
L. C. Branson, $50; Southern Ne
vada Mercantile company, $40; Sui
Ivan and company, $40; R. l..
Prouty, $40; H. A. McKim, $40;
Ryan and Stenson, $40, and H. H.
Bacon, $40. The services of the
Simplex people were engaged for a
month, and beginning Sunday the
first auto with the mail will leave
Tonopah.
At the former meeting commit
tee on trade and competition was
appointed and the report last night
showed that the price of the neces-
sites of life in Goldfield and Tono-
pah are nearly the same, and If any
thing, groceries are slightly lower in
Tonopah. Advertisements were read
of several Goldfield business houses
which announced the prices of gro
ceries at a much cheaper rate than
they can be purchased at wholesale
rate. 1t was explained by several
who had investigated these alluring
advertisements that they We're mere
ly a blind and whenever. prospective
customers asked for the articles in
question they were informed that
they were just out, or that the article
could be secured by purchasing a
large amount of other goods.
4 Several of the local merchants pm
nounced that they are willing to dc
their utmost to hold the trade of the
outside mining camps, and stated
that the prices are now as low as
! they possibly could be made, but Il
there was any chance of a reduction
, it would be made.
The meeting adjourned until Mon
! day night.

A large number of citizens and
business men met last evening in the
Elks club rooms to devise ways and
means to attract the trade from the
camp of Clifford and the numerous
camps in that district. At the last
meeting a committee was appointed
to make an inspection of the road be-
tween Tonopah and the Clifford dis
trict. The report was read in the
meeting and is the same as was pub
lished several mornings ago in the
columns of the Bonanza. The COM
mittee was given a vote of thanks for
it's work and was complimented on
the way it performed it.
Tine question of a postoffice for
Clifford and a mail route came up,
and from the reports it is highly
probable that the route will be be-
tween that camp and Tonopah, for
the road is not only shorter but is
solid and can be travelled very easily
in the winter. A motion was made
and carried that petition be sent
by the business men of Tonopah, tc
the first assistant postmaster al
Washington, asking that the postof'
fee to be installed at Clifford be
named Clifford and not Helena, and
also that the route be between Tono
pah and Clifford.
The most important question tt
come up was the transportation o
mails to the new camp, before thu
contract for carrying the same il
granted. Ray Perciyal, representa-,
the Simplex Auto company, announc
ed that the company would carry TIL
mails twice a week for the sum o
$3.50 a week, and if on the trips pas
sengers are carried the price of tn
! transportation derived from ther
will be deducted from the ma

The charter oak of Hartford was

James, duke Of York assembled, the
throne of England and. sent Andres to
take away all colonial charters Con-
necticut. alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct; 81, 1857, he returned
to the assembly hall Of Hartford with
a body Of soldiers and demanded in
slant surrender Of the charter, which
lay in box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andres
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper Then the candles
were suddenly. exiting uished, and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed in a disorderly crowd
into the hall. There was a period Of
wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found. 1t had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed In the oak, which ever after
ward bore it's name.
The oak was even then old. when
the first settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begged that it might
be spared. 1T has been the guide Of
our ancestors for centuries they said.

ward becoming the custodian of the
lost charter, became famous for all
time. 1t fell in windstorm Aug. 81,

| that at sunset on the day of its fall
the bells of the city were tolled and a

CHILD HERO
Is Nearly Killed by Electric
Current in YainIy Trying
to Save Little Sister From
Deadly Wire

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 19.-With a.
childish heroism that knew no fear
of death, Wesley Rudolph, five years
old, yesterday rushed forward in
vain attempt to save his three-year-
old sister from electrocution and was
dangerously injured.
The children were playing in their
yard at Spring and College streets,
Batavia. Adele, the sister, suddenly
remembered having attempted to fly
kite the evening before. The kite
had caught in tree, and summon
ing her brother, she went to look for
it.
The kite played a large part in the
tragedy when, during the severe
storm which struck Batavia, live
wire was borne from it's fastenings
and fell across the tree where the
kite was lost, and trailed to the
ground.
Look, Wes," cried the little girl,
''there Is the string of our kite"
The brother looked up as Adele
grasped the fatal. WIRE, through
which 1900 volts of electricity were
passing. She gave cry of pain, and
writhed in agony as. the deadly cur
rent passed through her tiny body.
For an instant the little fellow
wondered at her strange actions and
then realized her life was threatened.
| Without hesitation he grasped p his
baby sister about the body and at
tempted to tear her from the wire.
/ AS his hands touched her body he
also was effected by the electric cur,

voltage, he was unable to call fol
help, and the two were not found un
