CHARLES S. SPRAGUE

Inc announcement OF mares -.
Sprague, editor of the COldfield
News, as a candidate for the demo.
cratic nomination for congress at
the primary election will be found
elsewhere.
Mr.. Sprague has been a resident
of the State since 1901. He settled
at Goldfield and started the Gold
field News, which he still conducts.
He was one of the presidential
electors on the democratic ticket
two years ago. Although Mr..
Sprague has ve-y few acquaintances
in this section, those who know him
speak well of him. That he is
highly respected by democrats and
republicans where he lives is con-
o~lusively proven by the following
letter, written by Rev. B. j..
Darneille. formerly rector of the
Episcopal church, to Judge Brown:
"Goldfield, Nevada,
July 26th. 1910.
Hon. Geo. Brown,
Elko, New.
My Dear Friend
No doubt you know that Hon.
Charles S. Sprague has announced
his candidacy for congess, subject
to the action of the Democratic
Primary Election, and /, a Republi-
can, am taking the liberty of writ.
ing to YOU, a Democrat, soliciting
your support in his behalf at the
Democratic Primary.
My reason for doing so is not
prompted by friendship alone, nor
by a mer local pride, but because
| recognize in Mr.. Sprague a man
peculiarly fitted to represent Ne
vada in our National Congress.
| have spent many years of my
life in Washington, and have had
the privilege and pleasure of know.
ing some few of the leaders, and in
a way feel that | know the type of
man that will make good. One of
digniied bearing and presence,
high character, genialty of manner,
and fearlessness and courage of
conviction. Such a man | know
him to be. AS a public speaker,
he possesses force and logic
coupled with ease and grace. His
record in behalf of that element OF
the population generally demo.
minated, "The Common People"
signals him out as a man who holds
principle above expediency, fealty
to state and nation above any So
called party policy or obligation,
and therefore a man whom Nevada
can safely depend upon to guard
and advance her interests in Wash
ington.
Believe me, only a sincere inter
est in Nevada's welfare prompts
what may seem a liberty.-i. c.
asking that you work for Mr..
Sprague's nomination at the coming
primary.
Very Truly Yours,
Ben Johnson Darneille."
The democrats of Elko county
should give Mr., Sprague's candi-
dacy the thoughtful consideration
it deserves. Those who know Mr..
Darneille should weigh his words
of commentator and give Mr..
Sprague the benefit. Such words
of praise from a member of the
opposite party should weigh
strongly in Mr.. Sprague's favor.

CoNSTANTIONOPLE, Aug. IS.-(Spe-

owing to the lack of space in the special
enclosures outde the walls of Con-
stantinope, the government decided that
the street dogs of Constantinople should

Of dogs have already been landed there.
The arrangements for feeding and water

adequate that they may be said TO be
worse than useless.
The fights which take place when bread

rlble, while the weaker animals prey on
the dead bodies OF the dogs that have
already persisted. rhe men conveying bread
and water to the island soon found that
It was an unpleasant and even risky thing
to go ashore. and have latterly thrown the
bags containing food on the Island from
their boats.
Apparently they have also given up land
ing water. The sight OF all these animals
and their pitiful condition is most heart
rendering. The stencil is fearful and in
fects the atmosphere for miles around The
decaying carcases have attracted and bred
myriads OF flies which hover about the

Olegyniski, entered the more exciting paths
Of crime and has closed an adventurous
career by shooting himself In the Berlin
Thiergarten after numbering his mistress,

for this woman was the cause of his sui
eide for, though he thought himself su-
perior 20 the ordinary weakness of human
ity, he could not resist her charms, and
fell desperately in love with her. He Of
fered her a large income-the proceeds OF

would be true to him and remain his alone.
She proved false and he ended both their

ter taking his degree he deliberately chose
a life OF crime. He was first arrested on
charge OF poisoning a Leipzig doctor,
and when this charge fell through he made
for Berlin and perpetrated, unsuspected
a series OF most impudent bursaries. He
made no attempt to carry out his burg

the families whom he Wctimlzed and then
locked them up in rooms under threat OF
shooting. Among his last victims was the
millionaire, Count Koenigsmarck, whose

CRnRIeJO Government Must Unbend

Action.
SPANISH PEOPLE WITH CHURCH
BY CLEMENT J. BARRETT.

ROME, Aug 13.-CSpecia to The Bee.)-
There is no intention on the part of the
vatican to recede from the position II has
taken in Spain.
Cardinal Merry del Val is firmly convinced
that the great majority of the Spanish
people stand with the church in the con-
troversy. The Spanish clergy almost with
out exception have so informed him. He
Is therefore convinced that. the Canalejo
government will be compelled to recede or
go out of office
In the judgment of some of the high
.churchmen, IL the king persists in uphold
ing his ministers in the crusade against
the church II is not at all improbable
that the country will be plunged into civil
war, with more than an even chance that
its end will see Don Jaime on the throne
and Alfonso In exile. While. of course the
vatican will take no action in a Carlst
uprising, IL is not regarded as at all likely
that the church will over exert itself to
prevent such a movement
Merry del Val realizes that his future
position in the church depends upon the
outcome of this Spanish affair. II he
should win he would be all powerful in
the curia, with a good chance of succeed
ing to the papacy In time.
Wholesale Trial of Camorrists.
An exciting Camorra trial has been pro-
ceeding for many days past at the I.ucera.
An enormous iron cage, in appearance
something like chicken run, has been
specially constructed i'm court in order to
stock seventysix prisoners at once. All
of them are Camorrists belonging to the
local secret criminal societies of San
Severe. They were defended by ten law
yers and there were over 100 witnesses.
Many of the charges could not be proved,
owing to the intimidation Of witnesses,
who In cases OF this kind are always fear
full of a rufflanly vendetta, Nevertheless,
the tribunal condemned several ringleaders
to ten years confinement. Such scenes Of
savagery broke out among the condemned
and their relatives and followers in the
town after the president had delivered
sentence that three companies of soldiery
and 100 carabinieri who had been drafted
into the town for the occasion to reinforce
the local police proved none too many for
preserving order Special measures were
also taken against a general outbreak
which had been plotted at the Jail.
Suicides i'm Italy.
The bishop OF Cremona, Monsisnor Bono
NELL. has published statistical statement
of the number or suicides in Italy from the
year 1871 down to the beginning of last
year. The return shows that in 1871 there
were 1886 suicides, GS4 being men and 1852,
women. In 1891 there were 1,6g7, 1881 being
men and the balance women and in 1908
there were 1852, 2O76 being men and elo

Heavy Money Tribute.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 13-(Special to
The Bee.)-A letter published in the journal
''Sabah," and written by Said Pasha, the
former grand vizet, has caused an enor-
nous sensation. In the course Of the com
munication the writer states that he has
received threatening letters bearing the
signature Patriots" and demanding that
he shall give 20 per cent of his fortune
to the Turkey Naval league. Failure to
comply with this demand win mean assas-
sinatIon. After one of these letters had
been received a deputa ton from the Turk
ish Naval league called upon Said Pasha
and made the request that he should hand
to them large sum of money, and limited
that his refusal to do so might be followed
by consequences serious to himself.
wild outbreak of Indignation followed
this amazing attempt to raise funds for
the fleet Nor is Said Pasha the only
man to be treated in this extraordinary
manner. Many of the Weather men In the
district have received letters similar to
those sent to the former grand vlzler. The
Navy league Is an institution which owes
its existence TO a number of politicians.
After this sensational exposure 1t Is not
unlikely that the league will quietly dis
solve for already the belief is gaining cur
rency that the institution was formed solely
with a view to collecting money, the bene-
tit of which would never be felt by the
cause which the League ostensibly sup
ported. An official inquiry into the whole
affair is 10 take place shortly.
