1t will be seen that under the ap-
portionment of 1910 10 were cut off

FIRE AT FALLoN.
Property Valued At More Than Six
ty.thousand Destroyed.
Especial correspondence }


RENO, New, May 1.-THE town Of
Fallon was visited by disastrous
fire last Saturday night, entailing a
loss approximately 100000.
At 1854 O'Clock flames were seen
leaping from vacant buildino next
door to the postoffice, believed to
have been of incendiary origin. For
an hour and quarter the citizens
en- masse, responding to the pistol
shots calling out the volunteer fire
department with its two chemicals,
fought desperately OF prevent the
fire extending.
The manner in which the flames
licked up the building Of Senator w
w. Williams adjoining the seat of the
fire, indicates that oil must have bee
used in considerable quantities BY
the fire fiend. The tearing down Of
the Woodliff building on First street
and it's final destruction by the use
of dynamite, was means OF staying
the spread Of the flames as they ex
tended souhward to the brick build
ing Of the Nevada Distillers com
paw X his point the fire wa.
stopped by streams OF water from tn.
Sanford tank, and valiant service o
several bucket brigades
The postcffice sustained no loss
the postmistress. Mrs Callie Fergu
son reached the safe and taking
| s295 therein and all the mail away t,
a place of safety. The burning Of tn
telegraph and telephone poles plac
! ed that service out of commission
shortly after the fire began.
The total loss, as near as can b,
estimated today, Is reported to be il
the neighborhood of $4,000, with al
insurance of about $4,000. Severa
of those burned out sustained a com
plete loss, having no insurance.

HITCHCOCK MAY
LEAVE CABINET
Said to Be Slated for First Sen
-. atof From Arizona.

Washington, Feb. 26.-There is
good reason to believe that Postmas.
ter General Hitchcock will make room
in the cabinet for some one more full.
~ in accord with the views of Presi.
dent Taft. The recent clash over pat.
ronage between the insurgents and
the regulars, which caused the presi.
dent considerable embarrassment, was
laid to Mr.. Hitchcock and he did not
deny raising the storm. The presi.
dent then gave Mr.. Hitchcock to I'm.
derstand that the White House must
be consulted on all matters relating
to patronage in the postofice depart
ment.
The talk is that the postmaster gen.
eral will quit, the cabinet just as soon
as the new postofice appropriation
bill is signed. He will go to Arizona
and there are ,rumors of an already
we'll formed plan for Mr. Hitchcock to
be one of the first two United States
senators from the new state.
It is said that Mr.. Hitchcock, with
Royal A. Smith, James T. Williams,
Sidney Bleber and several other men
prominent in Republicanism, has
gained control of the Daily Citizen, a
newspaper in Tucson, and that at an
early date five new daily Republican
papers, committed to Hitchcock, will
be put into the field in Arizona.

"She refused me-" he said. "Why?
Because she didn't love me? No. Be-
cause of that old saw about it's TAX
ing nine tai1ors to make a man. And
that saw is mistake. It is a cor
ruption Of nine tellers mark a man.
It doesn't signify that tailors are ef-
Terminate. It simply shows that man
kind is liable to error. The toll of q
bell in the olden time was called a
teller, and in the olden time the church
bells tolled nine times for every mans
funeral; hence the saying nine tellers
mark man. In our stupidity we
have corrupted that into nine tailors
