THE Reno Gazette says the Silver
Party will try to disfranchise the
soldiers vote. What lie. 1t lily
becomes Republican sheet to
make such statement when Re-
publican form of government is
starving American soldiers in Cuba,
Honolulu and Manila and allowing
them to die of disease for want OF
proper care and food. The Repub-
lican party should be sunk to the
bottom of hell for the manner in
which it has treated the brave boys
who enlisted to fight for their coun-
try. Words of decency, or any other
kind of words, are not coined which
are forceful enough to express the
contempt and anger the true Ameri-
can people have for government
which treats its soldiers as this gov
eminent has in the late war. DO
you think it would have been so If

The Board of County Commits

the 18th inst. to canvass the vote OF
the county and transact such other
business as came up. A full Board

The minutes of previous meeting
were read and approved.
The vote was then canvassed and
will be found complete on another
page of this issue
A number of bills were examined
and allowed. several of the registry
agents bills being reduced some on
account of double registration in
some precincts.
The Board made an order that
the matter of county property to be

Gov. SADLER says Mr.. Newlands
informed him the other day that he
was not candidate at this time for
the U. S. Senate from Nevada. No,
we suppose not, but this is not say
ing he will not be a candidate at
some future time-say a month or
two provided he can make
some kind of showing with indie
pendent and Republican members
of the Legislature. But we are
afraid Mr.. Newland's longing for
the position will never be appeased,
The Reno Journal says: "The
eight Republicans elected in Storey
county are said to be pledged to
vote for Silver party man for the
United States Senate should their
votes be called for This is some
thing else which the eyes of the
public are on. Should this come
about and such contingency arise,
it will explain in a way which the
Silver party cannot misunderstood
the reason why the Silver party
Legislative ticket failed in Storey
county and the Republican ticket
was elected"
But the Journal did not have
word to say about this before cleo
ton, although it must have known
how the knife was being stuck into
the Silver Party, and who the trail
tors were in the party ranks. What
has not yet been told about the Ne
vada campaign of 1898, may, in the
near future, make some pretty in
teresting reading.

SEVERAL of the State papers are
taking up the purity (?) of cleo
ton" law, and demanding that it
be amended by the incoming Legis-
lature. The TINES started the cru
SADIE against this infamous law two
years ago, and is, pleased to note
that many are becoming of our
opinion. There should be no half
way measure taken, however; the
law should be wiped off of the Stat
utes completely. There is no use
for any portion of this law in Ne
vada. 1t is dead letter.

Deafness Canmnt be Cured.

diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal

MINES SOLD.
An Ohio Company Makes Deal in
smith valley.

A mining deal was recently con-
sumated in Smith Valley by some
Ohio people which may be of con
siderable Importance to Lyon coun-
ty. The Cuiahoga Mining Compa-
ny, with f. G. Smith as President
and H. NJ. Strong Treasurer, has
purchased from +. C. Everett "a
group of three mines in Smith Val
ley and preparations are being
made to develop the property quite
extensively. This property was
formerly owned by F. c. Everett
and another party. Some months
ago it was exported and bonded by
the above named Company of Ohio
people. The sale was made last
week, and Mr.. Everett is still re-
tanned by the Company as bust
ness manager as this end of the
line. The purchase price of the
property is $4,000, and the sale
also includes tive-stainp mill on
the ground. The mines are sltua-
ted in what is known as Alkali
District, and are in the same range
of mountains in which Como is
located. On one OF the claims a
tunnel has been run recently to a
distance of 125 feet. This tunnel
runs on the ledge and opens up a
vein of gold ore from l to 4 feet in
width. The Company intends to
start at once to overhaul the mill.
1t will be repaired and enlarged
and concentration put in, and later
on, probably a small cyanide plant
will be erected to work the tailings.
A small hosting works will also be
erected to enable the Company to
sink a shaft to the depth of at least
800 feet to further exploit the mine.
This work will be done this Winter.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Antonio Petagna. the slayer of ThOs.
Zeimeitz, Hangs himself in
the County Jail


Sometime between | and 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon Antonio Pc
tagna, who on the 9TH day of last
month stabbed and killed Thomas
Zeimeitz on the Main street of this
place, hanged himself in the county
Jail of this county. Thos. Mayne,
Deputy Sheriff of Lyon county,
found the body of Petagna hanging
from rafter in the Jail corridor by
piece of baling rope about 2
O'clock. He ran up stairs and in
formed County Clerk, LOTUS, and
both men then went back to the Jail.
AS they approached the body the
rope broke and the body fell to the
floor. The Coroner was summoned
and jury secured at once, and
the testimony at the inquest was
to the effect that Deputy Mayne
had seen Petagna alive last about
l o'clock yesterday He next saw
him hanging i'll the jail, dead,
about an hour afterwards. Where
the rope came from that Petagna
used he did not know, but the sup
position is that it was passed in
through one of the windows by "A
friend or some children playing
in the Court House yard The
other witnesses coroborated the tes-
timony of Wayne as to finding the
body. The jury viewed the body
and the scene of the hanging, and
after hearing the testimony render
ed a verdict of suicide by hanging.
The suicide had, after fastening
the rope to the rafter, stepped upon
a small box and tied the other end
of the rope around his neck He
then, evidently, had stepped off of
the box and deliberately strangled
himself, the rope, which was a
small one, having cut quite deeply
into his neck. Deceased was ma
tive of Italy, aged 81 years. His
trial for killing Zeimeitz was toI
have taken place on the 9th of
next month, and he evidently did
not want to be hanged publicly, so
hanged himself 1t was not known
up to late hour last night what
disposition would be made of the
body, but it is supposed that some
of his Italian friends in this com
munity will take cnarge of it.

THERE is a possibility that war
with Spain may be renewed. The
Dons do not seem to be in a hurry
to give up the Philippine Islands,
and it is just possible that they have
received assurances from Germany
that she will help Spain if peace
negotiations are broken off and war
renewed. IfGermany gets in, Eng
land will probably take hand,
and this will cause France to enter
the mixup. 1t is stated now that
Germany had offered to buy the
Philippine Islands from Spain for
$90,000,000, but when Uncle Sam
concluded to take them it changed
the aspect of things. If Uncle Sam
turns loose again it will be policy
to fight the matter out to a finish
and take what he wants without
asking the whipped country "by
your leave" or offering to pay for
territory won. These Philippine
Islands seem to be pretty good
territory to have, judging from the
way other nations covet them, and
this being the case Uncle Sam ought
to hold onto them by all mea ms;
and we do not see why a cent should
be paid for them.

Precautions A Against Y elbow Fever

Jackson, Miss, August 13-The state
board of health has sent out a corps
of inspectors for trains and guards
for landing points to protect the state
against a possible spread of yellow fe-
yer from Franklin, Ia. No person can
enter Mississippi from Louisiana with
out health certificate.
Washington, August 13.-In connec-
tion with the report that yellow fever
had appeared at Franklin, Ia, Surgeon
General Wyman, of the marine hospi-
tai service, said today that as soon
as the report reached him he hastened
two marine corps surgeons to the place
to make an examination and report.
They found that one person had died
from a fever and had been buried.
From the history of the case they were
inclined to the belief that it was gen
uine yellow fever. They were unable
to make an examination, how
ever, and, therefore. are unable to
speak positively. DR.. Wyman has given
them instructions to remain at Frank
lin to keep a close watch and take
prompt measures to quarantine all sus-
piciouS cases. There are no cases there
now and no fear is expressed here that
the disease will become epidemic even
should the first case have been a gen
uine yellow fever one.
