SATURDAY. NOV. 6, 1909

Local optionists are waging their
campaign to make Washington a
dry state, with avidity. AS result
of the elections held so far, twelve
communities have abolished the
saloon, while three of them up held
it. In the very near future, local
option elections will be held in
Colville, Vancouver and Walla
Walla. The last named is the the
first large city to test local senti-
ment on the liquor question. Re-
ports received from dry towns in
the state do not indicate that there
has been any falling off in business
observed so far. Spokane is said tc
be flirting with the question.

The So-Called Spanish Swiudle.

The Department of State, at
Washington, has received report
from the American ul-General
at Barcelona, Spain in regard to
the swindlers operating in various
towns and cities in Spain, who
make a practice of writing to per-
ions in the United States respect
ingthe imprisonment Of relative
and the guardianship of a child.
The Consul-General states that
alleged prisoner generally describes
himself as political prisoner from
Cuba; he is at the point of death
and has but one friend-the prison
priest-through whose good offices

he is enabled to smuggle an occa-
sional letter out of the prison fort.
The prisoner is rich. He has

United States, but the certificate OF
deposit is concealed in a secret re-
ceptacle of his valise: the valise it.
self has been taken possession of by
the court at Carthagena, which
tried and condemned him, and will
be held until the prisoner or his re-
preventative has satisfied the costs
of the trial. The prisoner has an
only daughter; dying in his prison
his sole thought is of this beloved
offspring. He has no friend or re-
lative in Spain to whose care he
can commit her. In this emery
ency his thoughts turn to the dis
tant relative in the United States
whom he has never see and of
whom he knows only through
hearsay or the family tree. viii
the distant relative assume the
guardianship of the darling daugh-
ter and the darling daughters for
tune of about $4,000? If the dis
tant relative accepts the trust one
fouth of the prisoners entire for
tune will be the material reward.
The priest will go to the United
States and take the daughter with
him. There is but one condition
the ready money which the priso
ner brought with him to Spain has
been exhausted; the distant relative
is therefore requested to sent
enough to liberate the vslise con
tanning the secret receptacle ant
the certificate of deposit. Thi
money is to be sent to the goo'
priest at an address indicated, ant
having received it the good prizes
will at once secure the valise ant
start for America, the Gland OF tn
free and the home of the brave,
with the darling daughter.
The above is generally the frs
letter of the series. 1t is quickl
followed by another in which tn
prisoner pathetically states tina
his strength is rapidly failing an

the end is near. He beseeches his
dear distant relative to assume the
trust and be worthy father to the
darling daughter. The third letter
is from the good priest himself,
who in brief, touching terms. and
hopelessly bad English, announces
the death Of the unhappy prisoner;
the good priest adds that the darl-
ing daughter is under his care.
He is ready to put his promise
into execution and start for the
UnitedStates as soon as coon as he
shall have received the necessary
funds from the distant relative. The
good priest frequently incloses
with his letter bogus newspaper
clipping announcing the death in
prison at Barcelona of the famous
Cuban patriot (sometimes called
Augustin Lafente); the newspaper
notice also speaks cunningly of the
con6scated valise and the darling
daughter. =
The valise, after all with its con-
cealed certificate of deposit is the
key to the situation and possession
must be taken of it before any
thing can be done or said. This

A DARK CAMPFIRE
AT ASSEMBLY, HALL
Songs and Music Hcroically Did Their

of paper were put into service. The pro-

sang Our Own United States
Some one called for Robert Barton

out of the dark came to voice of a
man who said
