origin OF FIRE
AT N. T. CHURCH

The cause OF the fire which broke
out in the Methodist Episcopal church
Tuesday evening was not due, as some
one said, to the large stock of heli-ire
and birthstone on hand, nor was it di-
rectly due, as another said, to the hot
revival that is now going on, but to
an over-heated stovepipe and the wood
ceiling around the chimney, which was
in direct contact with the stovepipe
where it entered the flue. The pastor
forgot to close the stove drafts, after
having put in several large chunks Of
coal at the close of the afternoon SER
vices, for the purpose Of keeping the
fire for the evening service. The chin
ney is now being repaired in such a
way that it is not likely that fire will
ever again occur in such manner.
The repairs have been made to the ex-
tent that services were again held in
the church last night.
An earnest effort is being put forth
today to have a full house to hear
Evangelist McClukan's sermon to-
night. His subject will be: He'll; Is
There Ones What Kind Of Place Is
Tti Who Goes Theref - He will sure
give the audience a picture OF the
burning pit. There will be fire in it,
and don't you forget it. Come and
hear it. Come and see it.
A great deal of interest is being
manifested in the afternoon meetings.
The evangelist spoke yesterday on
"Does God Answer Prayers' and this
afternoon on "Why Some of Our
Prayers are not Answered. Don It fail
to be present if possible tomorrow af-
ternoon. The subject will be "The
Atonement,' There will be servies
both Friday and Saturday nights.
Four services next Sunday.
The singing of the chorus choir, with
the assistance of the congregation, led
by Mr.. Trotter, grows better each
night. 1t will be great tonight. Re-
member, "Hell' is the subject for to-
night. Try to be there-not In hell,
but in the church.

Two CONTESTS
FOR STATE OFFICES

A special to the Journal from Car
son City says:
Receiving in its official capacity the
papers of the contest of John w. Leg
ate for the Office he holds under the
election Of November 8, Joe Josephs
was formally advised at 4:30 today
that not only would Mr.. Legate contest
for the clerkship to the supreme court,
but that George Springmeyer had
finally taken the long promised step
to attack the election of Cleve Baker
to the Office of attorney general.
The news gives another angle to the
all-important wardenship fight in
which Cleve Baker has held the whip
hand in the interest of his brother,
Ray. If Baker is counted out, Brother
Ray will certainly get no consideration
at the hands of Springmeyer, and if
Cleve is riveted in his seat the threats
that have been made and the pressure
that has been brought to bar on this
will be proved to be futile.
The reason for the delay in the con-
test, it further appears, was in the
delay of Cleve H. Baker to file his
bond and qualify for the Office under
Ills cltCtlOu III 10 odlu budt Vi
who has been in this city and vicinity
since the Christmas holidays, has been
waiting for the fling of the bond that
no demurrer might be interposed to
the contest which might delay the act
until developments in the appointing
boards transpired.
The nature of the allegations made
in the application are not disposed but
it is understood that the application,
which is directed to the supreme court
under the statute regulating election
contests, is a formal recital of irregu-
larities.
No order was made yesterday by the
supreme court on either application.
They will be heard probably within q
few days and an order granting the re-
count is Of course entered.

COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION MEETS

Yesterday afternoon the members of
the county board Of education quail
fed and Immediately went into session,
with w. A. Brown, w. c. Pitt and H.
w. Duncan present. w. A. Brown
was elected president and H. w. Dun
can secretary of the board.
The resignation of Professor Griffin
as principal Of the Winnemucca high
school was accepted and Miss Cowgirl,
former principal, elected to tenn
porarily fill the vacancy.
Miss Moon was elected principal OF
the Lovelock high school and Miss
Young principal.
1t is the intention of the board to
take immediate steps to make the
two county high schools all that the
should be schools where the young
people of Humboldt county may OBJ
tain thorough education without be-
ing compelled to leave home.
However, it may be said that the
Lovelock high school is in apparently
satisfactory condition, with 16
pupils. On the other hand the Winnie
mueca school has thus far amounted to
nothing, having had maximum at
tendance of but four students with an
average Of three. The board will at
once employ first-class man to take
charge of the school and add to its
curriculum through business
course. Parents will then have no ex-
cuse for sending their children to Cali
fornia schools to be educated.

REDUCTION IN
WEST-BOUND RATES

Immense reductions in freight rates,
varying from 8 to so per cent, have
been made by the railroads operating
the Rocky Mountain and Pacific re-
gIons in accordance With orders from
the interstate commerce commission
Efforts were made to secure injunc.
uons from courts to restrain the CON-
mission from putting into effect it's Or.
der, but they failed.
In every case the reductions affect
class rates.
In what is known as the Sacramento
backhaul case the first class rate is
reduced from $1.29 to S5 cents and
proportionately on other classes, to
Reno. East of that point, the rate is
fixed at $1.15, and east of Elko to and
lncluding Cecil Junction, Utah, it is
made $1.54
By the terms of the tariff filed the
rate from San Francisco to the points
named is made lower than was ordered
by the commission, the rate to Reno
for instance, being fixed at 81 cents a
hundred on frst.class freight, instead
of s1.46. In the Phoenix, Arizona. case
the charges on west bound freight in
classes are reduced from all points in
the east to 20 per cent.
In the famous Reno case the reduc-
tions In some instances amount to more
than 80 per cent. The old rate from
Denver to Reno was $4.2o on first class
freight. BY the new tariff it is made
$210. The old New York rate was
1929 and now is $3.50. Rates from
intermediate points are proportionally
lower.
The railroads filed the tariffs put
ting into effect the new rates on Jan.
2, 1911, and they must remain so at
least two years.

PREACHERS BEAT BLUE TEAM.
WaShburn'S Dumb Base Running
Loses Game to wesleyan.

A lamentable timidity on the bases
lost the Blue a baseball game Thurs
day and the Salina Wesleyans, never
before considered in Washburns class,
took home the big slice of an 8 to 6
partition.
The boys were so bashful they would
not have counted a run on a homer.
With the Salina gates open in nearly
every inning, the Blue remained on
bases and on the six runs they got they
had to be dragged across the rubber.
Pitcher House, for the visiting col
legians, seldom neglected to wind up
three or four times with man on third
but the locals seemed to think it q
shame to take the money.
Once indeed Thompson became real
obstrusive and scored run on the I'M
suspecting battery but he was not al
together at fault. Some one urged him
to do it and after the slab man had
heaved the sphere, he started toward
home. Catcher Knowles was waiting
for him all right but tagged with his
eyes shut just as Tommy fell down.
Knowles swiped the atmosphere franti-
cally enough but Tommy had enough
momentum to cause him to roll over
the plate. The Blue had to take a run
in spite of themselves.
The Washburn boys were forced to
accept still another-and on Just as
much of a Dick Merriwell feature.
Karnes was on third when McCampbelI
came to bat. McCampbelI struck out
but when Catcher Knowles tried to
throw the ball back to the pitcher he
hit McCampbelPs bat as he was turn
ing from the plate. The ball rebounded
over the back fence and somebody pried
Karnes off third and drove him in.
Washburn'S other runs were counted
when forced in by hits. The Yves
leyans did a little better on the sacks
and stole six bases on McNeish.
Hardy pitched for the local collegians
and House worked about the same for
the visitors. The latter struck out II
men, while Hardy clipped Z. Each
gave two bases. Hardy totaled assists
which is fielding a little for box man.
The game as far as hitting and field
ing are concerned, was very good col
lege contest. With some coaching the
Washburn team ought to win from
most of the college teams in Kansas
but the general coach seems to have an
aversion to the national game and the
athletic board treats it with indiffer-
ence. The impression at the Topeka
institution appears to be that Wash
burn has outgrown that form of ath-
1etics.
Hiene Katz Of the Kaws umpired the
game though Jerry tombstone was
ready for any emergency.

Cole Opens Contest With Double
and Scores.

Lincoln, Neb., May 5.-Barney Nc
Grath was unable to hold down MS olo
teammates and Lincoln won from the
KaWs in Thursdays game by score or
to 2. McGrath was retired in three
innings, the Antelopes having punched
him for three runs.
The LOpes lost no time in getting
after their former friend and helpmate.
Cole, first up, slammed out a double
and Cobb worked in a single. Unglaub,
who never had associated with Nc
Grath before, followed up with triple
and two runs were counted. Meanwhile
Manager Moore was wondering.
In the second Cockman drew on
Barney for a free ticket and Stratton
eased him along on a sacrifice. From
this position he ran home when Pitcher
Knapp singled. That was enough to
win the game for the Kaws never got
but two. McGrath got by the third
safely but when he passed two to start
the fourth, Moore acted.
The utility man, Breitenstein, was
sent to the mound and pitched a steady
and heady game for the remainder of
the contest. In the sixth and seventh
he was touched for and 1 runs but
the outcome of the game was already
settled.
The Kaws rung up 1 in the fourth
and fifth innings. Thomson raped
out a screaming double in the fourth
and Moore drew walk with Thomson
on third. A double steal resulted in
both coming safe and one run in. In
the fifth, Breitenstein walked and
Hafford singled. An infield out re-
suited in Breitenstein crossing the plat
ter for the second and final run grant
ed the Kaws.
