Victoria The sight of the widowed
queens carriage, moving slowly in the
procession, aroused the keenest SYM
pathies of the loyal. silent crowd, and
the silence was broken many times
by the sobbing Of the more emotional
women members of the throng. The
heart of England went out to AlcXan'
dra today, and 1t is reported that she
has expressed her sense of the graft
tude for the many signs of deep SYM
pathy which she has received.

Ject of much discussion the past
week aud to settle the points in
yolyed a local nimrod wrote to
Fish Commissioner George Mills
for accurate information. In his
reply Mr.. Mills stated that the
game law of 1903 governs the
opening and closing of the fishing
season. Accordingly the close
season does not 60 INTO effect until
November lst instead of September
18th as set forth in the new law

This information will settle the

HENRY ROHLFS
SUCCUMBS

After an illness of many months
Henry Rohlfs died in Gardnerville
last Tuesday morning a! 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Rohl;s was one of the first To
join the rush to Tonopah when
that camp was discovered. lie
contracted strange disease that
broke out in that camp and VAS
one of very few that recovered.
From that time on, although he
has been a hard working man, he
has complained of not being strong.
Last fall he took to his bed but
was up again in few weeks. He
was taken down again in the
early weeks of spring and from
then on he gradually grew weaker
until death relieved him OF his
sufferings.
A post mortem examination re-
vealed that he had enlargement OF
the liver and heart complications.
Henry Rohlfs was born in Han-
mover, Germany, on April 30 b,
1865. He left his native land and
came to this country q years ago,
and has been a resident of this
Valley almost continually since
that time. When the Spaniards
blew up the Maine and Uncle Sam
called for volunteers to avenge the
death of those sailor boys who
were sent to the bottom of the sea
while they slept, Henry Rohlfs
took up a musket for his adopted
country. He became a member
OF the First Nevada Calvary which
saw active service in the Philip
pines. At the close of he war he
was mustered out with due honor
and returned to this Valley.
lie was member OF the local
camp of Modern Woodmen and
carried 81 900 insurance policy,
payable to his wife.
Besides his wife and little
daughter, he is survived by a
brother, Adolph, now residing at
Oklohoma.
The services will be held from
the Lutheran church this after
noon at 2 o'clock. Interment in
Garden cemetery.

Senator, irrespective of party, re-
ceiving the greatest numoer of

through misundersta tanding

pledge himself to the people of the

ed to, would not be a party to

years taking into consideration
the time of year that it has been
done. OF course it has been i'm
possible at this time to smooth up
all the ruts, but the worst ones
have been filled up and all the bad
rocks blown out and some new

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
MAKES STATEMENT

Reno, Nevada, Sept. II, 1910
To the Citizens of the State ol
Nevada:
Apparently some uncertainty
and doubt exists in the minds OF
many voters as to the purpose and
effect of that part of the Direct
Primary Law relative to the cleo
ton of United States Senators.
Being a candidate on the Demo
cratic ticket for that honorable
and important office and seeking
the suffrage and support of all our
citizens, | feel that it is my duty
to publicly and unequivocally de-
clare my construction and stand
on that part of the law.
The Constitution Of the United
States prescribes that United States
Senators shall be elected by the
Stated Legislatures, and the MEM
bers of legislatures cannot be de-
prived of this privilege without
amending the Constitution. Such
an amendment will undoubtedl ly
be adopted in the near future, as
two-thirds of the States of the
Union have endorsed The amend
ment and requested hat it be sub
mitted 10 thn people. Our State
Legislature has unanimously de-
clal ed in iavor of such amendment
and all parties in our State have
heretofore in their platforms de-
manded that United States Sena-
tors be elected the direct vote of
the people and have pledged the
members of their respective parties
to the support OF such principle.
While the Legislature cannot be
deprived, without such amend
ment, of the power of electing
United States Senators, a method
has been provided in the Direct
Primary Law by which the people
may instruct the members of the
Legislature as to their choice. 1t
is also provided by such law that
the legislative candidates may file
with their nomination Iapers a
a statement as to whether or not
they will respect the will OF the
people and vote for the peoples
choice for United States Senator.
Similar provisions have been tried
with success in other States. In
Oregon two years ago, Senator
Chamberlain, Democrat, was
elected, although a majority of the
legislature was Republican. The
plan is being tried in this State at
this election for the first time. A
numbsr of the legislative candidates
of each of the parties have failed
