Special trains will probably be run from Virginia city and Carson City Monday and from points on the Southern Pacific railroad. It is planned to close a.U business in Reno during the time of the funeral and as the state offices are closed it is probable the county courts will also be adjourned until Tuesday morning. On account of the consideration de sired to be shown to Mrs. Sparks, the funeral will be held one day sooner than ordinary.

Thousands of people had assembled to witness the starting on its flight of an airship which had been constructed here. The event was a demonstration trial trip had been looked forward to as an affair of great importance, as its success meant much for local people who were interested. The airship was a ponderous affair 400 feet long, carrying 500,000 cubic feet of gas and was propelled by a five-horse power gas engine. The start was made as scheduled and for tinie looked it as if the problem of navigating the air had been solved.

The ship, had risen to a considerable distance when suddenly a terrible explosion occurred which precipitated its occupants to the earth, a jumbled mass of bleeding humanity. Panic reigned and terror overwhelmed the spectators. Men, women and children fainted and for a time great confusion made a terrible scene. All of the twenty occupants of the craft, except a few operators, were distinguished men who were to try its merits and upon the success of the demonstration, determined the extent they would subscribe for stock to further perfect the air-going machine.

WILLIAM RILEY DAVIS FOLLOWS HIS CHIEF Private Secretary to the Late Governor Answers Final Call. Third State Official to Be Taken This Year Don S. Dickerson, Lieutenant Governor, elect by virtue of the death of Governor John Sparks yesterday, became Nevada's chief magistrate and will without doubt, prove an honor to the state whose destiny he controls. An evidence of the personality of the man is found in the Democratis state convention held here in 1906.

He came from White Pine county as a delegate. He was placed in nom ination for Lieutenant Governor and Lera Allen, then the Lieutenant Governor of the State, was nominated in opposition. Though he made no contest he won the fight easily and in the campaign that followed even his Re publican enemies conceded that his work was one of the important factors in learing the Democratic party to victory in the fall of To his duties as chief executive of the state, Governor Dickerson will bring the benefit of a most varied experience. As a former county official of White Pine county he understands perfectly the relations of the counties in their dealings with the state. His experience as county clerk perfectly equips him to oversee intelligently the auditing department of the state's affairs.

His services as a volunteer in the Spanish-American war gives him an intimate grip on military and police affairs. His work as a practical miner, and personal knowledge of unionism for he suffered inoarceration in an Idaho "bullpen" puts him in sympathetic touch with the largest individual class of workers in the state, while his holdings of mining property and real estate and business interests will lend a conservative tinge to all his official actions. In all the history of the state probably there has never been a man who entered upon the duties of the gubernatorial office so splendidly equipped in every way in mind and character and experience to fulfill completely the functions of the office.

DAY'S Today at six minutes to twelve 9 o'clock William Riley Davis, private secretary to the late Governor Sparks, followed his chief into the unknown, after a painful illness lasting over eight days. Mr. Davis had not been in good health for some time and a week ago yesterday took to his bed. He suffered from hemorrhage of the, stom--ach, and everything known to me-'i- After following ranching for a number of years he was elected recorder of Lyon county. This office he held for four conseccutive terms.

In 1894 he was appointed deputy state treasurer under state treasurer Westerfield. In 1898 when the late Reinhold Sadler was elected governor Mr. Davis accepted the position of private secretary to the governor. This he held during the term of Sadler and when Governor Sparks was elected the cal science was done to relieve tir first time he was reappointed to the sufferer. Several days ago he le-vived to quite a noticeable extent and it was thought that he had better than fighting chance to recover.

But a relapse followed and since that time he has been gradually but surely sinking. Thursday he lapsed into unconsciousness and every effort to rally him proved unavailing. Yesterday he motioned to his brother and showed by his actions that he desired to say something. The patient made several attempts but was unable to make himself understood to those around him. It is probable that he wished to inquire of the condition of the late GoVernor Sparks, to whom he was devotedly attached.

He died without the knowledgt that his friend had gone before into the unknown. Riley Davis was born in Indiana, in October, 1840. In 1862 he came to Nevada and entered the ranching position, owing to his excellent abili nes. Again ne was appointed upon the second election of the late gov ernor, which office he retained up to the time of his death. By the death of Riley Davis two state offices have been left vacant in two days.

Deceased is survived by a brother, C. N. Davis, of this city, a daughter, Miss Bertha Davis who made her home with her father in this ctiy, a son, John Davis, who has been attending the State University at Reno, a half sister living in Kansas and a half brother living in Oregon. Other more distant relatives also survive. Mr.

Davis was known throughout the entire state, having been identified with public life for a number of years. He was a man of a kindly disposition and had a wide circle of friends and admirers. The funeral will be held from the late residence of the deceased on next POLICY OUTLINED Cherry Creek, May 22, 190S.

The preliminary game between two halves of the Carson girls' teams was a lively one while it lasted. Minnie Gallagher threw the first goal for the Blues and Gladys Hofer carried off the honors in that respect for the Whites. The main feature of the evening, the game between the Goldfield high school team and the local team, cre ated much interest as it was evenly contested, although in the end the visitors proved victorious and car ried away the laurels from the local team. The line-up of the Goldfield was as follows: Kennedy and Ruse, forwards; Hampton and Burke, guards; Henley, center; Johnson and Harrington, substitutes. The Carson men were: Williams, center; Kewley and Heidenger, forwards; Day and Whit-taker, guards; Pike, substitute.

The score at the end of the first half stood 14 to 9 in favor of Carson, but in the second half the visitors had become more accustomed to the slippery floor and soon made the score even. At the end of the game the count was 18 to 18 and it was necessary to play off the tie. The result was that Goldfield won the first two points necessary for victory. The game was good natured throughout and the various plays were vo ciferously applauded by the spectators. At the completion of the game the pupils of the Carson high school es corted the visiting lads to the high school building where a dainty repast was served and an entertaining pro gram was rendered for the edification of the guests.

o-o Reno on that date those who intend attending the last rites should vote before the special leaves in the morning'. As the polls will be open at 8 o'clock there will be ample time for all those who wish to go to Reno to cast their ballots. This fact should not be overlooked and those who anticipate leaving the city should make it a point to attend to this matter. Nobe Jellerson has returned from a visit to San Francisco. Mr.
