HIGH SCHOOL TIDINGS.

The comedy company held a meeting
in the English room last evening aft
er school to transact some important
business. The play. which is to be
staged in the near future, written by
Raymond Zoll. is completed and will be
given a hearing.
For opening exercises yesterday
morning Principal McElroy made sew
eral announcements. The most import
ant was one regarding the scholarships
to be given by the University of Chi
cago. Only the seniors of the high
school are eligible. Some time in Mo-
vember the University of Chicago will
give examinations In the four follow
ing subjects: German" English"
mathematics and Latin. Those pupils
who pass the examinations successfully
and hold first or second palce will re-
ceive the scholarship and s120 tuition
fees. There will also be a contest in
defamation, one for boys and the other
for girls. The pupils of numerous high
schools in this part of the state have
been also given the same opportunity.
On account of the cold weather the

owing to the fact that this was the
first time used a slight smoke was
caused.
Coach Alice was not pleased very
much and last nights practice. Very
few men reported in spite of the fine
football weather that prevailed. Those
who did report were given a good
workout and the tackling dummy was
used for the first time. With a hard
game in view more men will have to
come out and the coach is working
hard to get two teams so the varsity
can be pitted against the scrubs. This
sort of work would be the best practice

Up to this time football and baseball
have been the chief topics for discus

G.. o. P. HAS A
GREAT MEETING
CONTINUED from page l.,

you must not let Bryan interfere with
your sacred rights as a voter You
must choose, in your own mind, the
party who has done the most for you
and that is the republican party who,
during the past forty years have had
control of this country. bringing it to
the highest standard of prosperity"
Compares Financial Furry.
The speaker spoke but briefly on the
financial furry of last year but declared
that it was not to be compared with
the panic of 1ss3-1904 under democratic
legislation. IF the republican policies
are carried out for another twelve
years I can safely promise to you an
other period of unexcelled financial and
labor prosperity" he declared. and the
applause that followed was like the
roar of a cannon.
"This region is the finest developed
industrial region west of the Allegheny
mountains" was another of the con-
CHEESEMAN'S pertinent statements that
invoked the applause of his audience.
He told of the efforts of the congress
to introduce the great water way along
the Calumet river from the Illinois
to the Indiana mouth and declared that
in spite of the gum shoe campaigning
of his opponent, Judge Darroch Of
Kentland, Ind, the project would some
day be a reality.
Worked Against Trusts.
"The republican party has done more
towards the elimination of trusts than
any other party" expounded Mr. Crum-
packer. The merits of the Sherman
antitrust bill have demonstrated this.
1t does away with the eut-throat com
petition, as it was termed by the speak
ef. of the Standard Oil company and the
steel trusts.
The labor question was one of the
features of Mr.. Crumpack-
els discussion. He told of the almost
heather labor laws of Mississippi and
other democratic states and declared
that the democratic party, before pos
ing as the friend Of labor, should rem
! edy the laws in it's individual states.

Edward l.. McMahan

One of Elko county's best citizens
passed away ut Sacramento, California,
Thursday when the eyes of Edward L..
McMahan closed upon the scenes of
earth.
Mr.. McAlahan was born in Pennsyl-
vania about 60 years ago. He came to
Elko county about 1876 and went to
CornucOpia and later to Columbia.
These camps were then turning out
bullion and Mr.. McMahan held respons.
ible positions in both camps. About
1878, ne moved to Tuscarora and super.
intended the construction of the Navajo.
Independence mill. When it was com.
plcted he took charge of the mill and
held the position of superintendent
until the mill WAS closed down about
1889. He then took charge of the
Union mill and held the position OF
superintendent until the mines passed
under other management
Mr.. McAiahan was II resident of thi,
county since 1876, with the exception
of two years spent in Colorado. On his
return he took charge of the Tuscarora
Water company and managed its affairs
In 1904, he was elected member OF
the assembly by the democrats of this
county. Shortly after the convening
of the Legislature he was taken sick and
was unable to take an active part in
the work of the session.
His health began to fail about ten
years ago and the disease developed in
miners consumption, caused by inhal-
ing mill dust. He bore up bravely and
did his best to withstand the ravages of
the disease.
After the legislature adjourned in
1905, he returned to Elko and passed Il
large portion Of his time here. He
spent last winter i'm southern Cal
ifornia and this spring he paid visit
to his old home in Pennsylvania. He
returned few weeks ago and seemed
to bc much improved. But shortly
after his return, he was compelled to
take to his bed He recovered sufficient.
ly to start for southern California,
where he intended to pass the winter,
but died Thursday forenoon at Sacra-
mcnto.
Edward McMahan was one of Elko
! county's best citizens. During his long
residence among us, he held the I'M
bounded respect and esteem of every.
body. No faint of any kind ever
attached to his name. He was II good,
honorable, upright man. He was Il
postmaster of the Masonic lodge ut
Tuscarora and Friday his remains were
tenderly laid away by the Masons of
Sacramento. May he sleep well.
one son, residing here, II daughter
who is an assistant of DIR. Barkan of
San Francisco and daughter whose
home is ut San Diego, and sister in
Pennsylvania survive him.
Duringa part of his illness here, the
daughter, whose home is i'm San Fran.
cisco, came here and tcndcrly cared
for him.
He left his surviving relatives the
rich heritage of long and blamelcss
life.

The Ely Plan.

The registration of Ely greatly ex-
ceeds the number allowed by law in q
precinct and, it being too late for the
commissioners to establish new pre-
cincts, it has been decided to have two
polling places in the same precinct
All voters whose names begin with A
and down to l. will vote ut the original
polling place and those from l. down
will vote at the new one. If such a
scheme could be worked here, it would
greatly facilitate the count. A count
of the names in the Elku list shows 273
voters whose names begin with 4 and
down to and including II and 262
whose names begin with the remaining
letters of the alphabet
Now if the commissioners can estab
lish another polling place, say ut Leon
ard or MiZaph Hall aud appoint another
set of inspectors and clerks, all the
voters can be easily accommodated
and the count will be completed in
onehalf the time.
The expense of this arrangement will
bc some greater than to have all the
votes cast and counted Mt one place,
bnt the accommodation of the voters
and the time saved in making the
count will more than offset the extra
expense.
If the commissioners of White Pine
county can legally divide the voters into
classes according to the first letter OF
their names, establish another polling
place for one class and appoint an extra
set of inspectors anu clerks, our com.
Inissioncrs can do the same
The plan outlined above is merely
thrown ont rs suggestion to the COM

election situation in this precinct.
