To-morrow at 10 o'clock there will be a meeting of representatives of all the local packing firms In the association headquarters, but Director T. C. White states that the call was not sent out by the directorate. By whom it was sent out does not appear. The fact remains that the call has gone forth and that to-mor- row morning at the hour named the pack- ers will assemble to reach conclusions as to what has been and what will be done. Some time ago it was made known that many of the packers could not sce their way clear to walt upon the directors much longer and it is said that the meet- ing-is in consequence of their Impatience to take early orders for which the East- ern dealers have been clamoring for weeks.

T., Aug. 28.—A bold at- tempt was made to murder an entire fam- ily at Blackwell, Oklahoma, by unknown persons placing arsenic in the coffee can. As a result of drinking the liquid Mrs. Alice Combs and son Ernest are lying near death.

STONE WILL BE CHIEF AT THE NAPA ASYLUM Board of Managers of the State Hos- pital Select a Prominent Physician. MARYSVILLE, Aug. 28.—To-morrow or Saturday the Board of Managers of the Napa State Asylum will meet and elect Dr. Elmer E. Stone to the position of medical superinteadent, formerly held by Dr. A. M. Gardner. Stone until recently was a resident of Marysville and for a longgime was Coun- ty Physician. He was ap®ointed by Gov- ernor Gage as a member of the corps of physicians charged with the duty of cleansing Chinatown, in_.San Francisco, curing the plague scare.

N BATTLE 13 ON FOR THE TOGA Senatorial Contest Nevada Promises Excitement. in RENO, Nev., Aug. 28.—The Silver party this afternoon nominated Lemar Allen of Churchill County for Lieutenant Gov- ernor; G. F. Talbot of Elko, Supreme Judg: Eugene Howell, Secretary of State; David Ryan, Treasurer, and E. D. Kelly, Surveyor General. The Democratic convention nominated F. G. Newlands for Senator, C. D. Van Duser for Congressman and John Sparks for Governor. James G. Sweeney of Ormsby was nominated for Attorney Gen- eral, John E. Bray for Superintendent of Public Instruction and W. W. Booher for short term Regent of the University. Wil- liam Woodman was nominated for Judge oi the First Judicial District, B. F. Curler for the Second, Peter Breen of Eureka for the Third, George Brown of Elko for the Fourth and M. S. Bonifield Jr. of Humboldt for the Fifth. This practically completes the labor of both conventions, and all that remains to be done is for them to meet in joint con- vention and ratify the nominations made. The fight for United States Senator promises to be a hard fought battie be- tween the Republican and Kusion parties. Thomas P. Hawley is a strong man, He has been a resident of Nevada for forty years and has occupied many places of trust and honor. The major part of his life has been on the judicial bench, and for fifteen or twenty years he has been United States Judge for the District of Nevada. Francis G. Newlands has been a resi- dent of this State for about twelve years, ten of which have been spent in serving the people of the commonwealth in Con- gress. Two years ago Newlands an- nounced that he would be a candidate for the United States Senate. It is to be a pretty fight, and both the Republicans and Fusionists claim to hold the top hand. The Republican party has been cutting down the Silver party majorities at every eiection since the silver craze has been rampant, and they say the red ink will be on their side of the ledger after the votes are counted. A. C. Cleveland of White Pine will prob- ably be pitted against John Sparks, the Democrat nominated to-day for Gov- error. -They are both strong men before the people. Cleveland has had much more experience in politics than has Sparks. HIGHWAYMAN ROBS STREET CAR PASSENGERS Masked Criminal In Spokane Obtains Money From a Number of Persons. SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 28.—A masked highwayman with two pistols held up a car on the Astor street line this evenmng. Among the passengers was Chief of Po- lice J. F. Reddy, who a few weeks ago took chargc of the Police Department. The condvuctor went ahead of the car, which had stopped at a railroad crossing just after emerging from a deep rock cut. The conductor was compelled to surren- der his loose change. Ordering the con- ductor back to the car, the highwayman leveled his pistols on the passengers and commanded them to hand over their money. Five or six of the eleven people on the car complied, although Chief Red- dy says he neglected to do so. Reddy says he had no gun or he would have shot the highwayman. The higwayman disap- peared in the darkness and has not been found. He probably secured about 30 from the conductor and passengers.

SEATTLE, Aug. 28.—Alaska’s needs n the form of new laws was the subject for discussion by the members of the Cham- ber of Commerce on Alaska affairs to- day. Addresses were made by Governor John G. Brady and other residents of the northern Territorv. Organized efforts will be made by Chamber of Commerce and the Alaskan interests to secure in the next Congress the passage of a measure which will tend to cure the ills from which it is alleged Alaska has long suffered. These matters which will be urged are for a Represen- tative to Congress and for an extension of the land laws to Alaska, which will tend to induce settlers to flock to the agri- cultural parts of that country.. A strong attempt will also be made to have Alaska made a lighthouse district, so that mora :lmclem service may be rendered naviga- on. The question of the advisability of seek- ing to secure a revision of the licensa from the next Congress was also dis- cussed., but the consensus of opinion was that too many things should not be asked from the lawmakers, for fear that a mul- tiplicity = of interests would defeat the mamn reforms sought to be secured. pe—e——— Site for Government Reservoir. BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 25.—A Sheridan, Wyo., special to the Miner says that C. D. Walker, director of the geological sur- vey, and F. H.
