SOMEBODY SHOOTS CAPT. DON
NELLY'S VALUABLE SETTER,

Thursday morning three shots in
close succession startled some OF the
residents on the usually peaceful
and quiet Telegraph Street, east of
Carson street. The shots We're fol-
lowed by the pitiful bowling of a
dog, which later proved to be the
valuable setter belonging to Captain
Donnelly of the state police, says the
Carson Appeal.
The shots took fatal effect and
although the animal endeayored to
reach its home, it fell by the way
side.
After considerable inquiry amongst
the neighbors along that street 1t
was learned that several of them
had heard the shots and the wailing
of the wounded animal, but no one
could be found who was able to tell
who did the shooting.

MIRCOVICH WILL GET HIS
WEDNESDAY, MAY II

Wednesday, May IA, was the date
set by Judge Averill for the execution
of Andrija Mircovich, now under
sentence of death at the Carson state
prison for the murder of John Gregg
vich a year ago. The original date
of execution was vacated by an order
of the supreme court pending the de-
eision of the application for a new
trial and when the Ease was decided
adversely to the defendant, the court
directed Judge Averill to again fix the
date.
Mirkovieh will be executed by
shooting, having preferred that meth
cd to hanging, the only remaining
alternative. He will be the first
murderer to be leagally shot to death
in Nevada as the law has been on
the statutes of this state but two
years.
Mirkovich was not brought down
from the state p~enitentiary to receive
the sentence. The action of the
court will be officially forwarded to
the warden at the prison and will in
turn be communicated to the defen-
dant who is now occupying the con-
demned cell.

STOREY FOR GOOD ROADS.

Storey county has taken up the
matter of good roads and is follow
ing the lead of Ormsby. The Chron-
icle had the following to say on the
subject:
The automobile owners of this
city are taking a c~ommendable inter-
est in placing the Geiger grade road
in first class condition, and are band
ing together to expend money
contributed by themselves for per-
manent improvements, John Werrin
is the first one to set the ball-a-roll-
ing. and all this week has been out
with men, at work on the road just
this side of Savery's in Washoe
county. There is one stretch where
the road is worn down to bedrock,
with jagged ends protruding to the
detriment of tires and safety. With
a large consignment of giant powder
and hammers and drills, the road is
being blasted into semblance of a
civilized trail. Jack is turning drills
himself, and is an enthusiastic leader
in the work. The auto owners and
others do not ask the county to do
1t all, and are up and doing on their
own account.
This movement is TO be highly en-
dorsed, for it will assist in placing
the most picturesque and attractive
road in Nevada in prime condition.
If continued, it will bring to Vir-
ginia City scores upon scores of

Concerning Bonuses.

In discussing the recent sugges-
ton of the Freeman-Tribune that
people should call halt upon the
practice Of giving bonuses to indus
tries. the Cedar Falls Record oh
serves.
1t is the experience of Cedar Falls
that every factory that amounts to
anything began in a small way and
without great deal OF help in the
way of bonuses, etc, Webster City
people have been stung repeatedly
on the bonus proposition, so often,
in fact, that investors are leaving
such isvestments alone. The most
successful manufacturing proposition
in that city Is the Closz & Howard
sieve works and its business has
been built on the merits of the pro-
duct and not through bonuses. In
their eagerness to secure factories
many Iowa cities have been indulg-
ing in a senseless scramble, often
times without investigating the
value Of the product or the probable
tiles of its successful distribution.

The Mayor is Warm.

The mayor of Stratford Is some
warm and nobody can blame him.
Some one who lacked the courage to
father his own production had a
communication signed Citizen in the
Courier short time ago attacking
the officers Of the town for not en-
forcing the law. 1t is entirely prop
er to criticize public officials for
,dereliction OF duty, but the man who
does so in the press without signing
his name is a coward. From the
viewpoint Of the Freeman-Trfbune
newspapers should not publish such
communications. If the author
wants to strike in the dark the edi-
tor should not encourage him in it.
However, the mayor of STAFFORD has
opened up the war department and
comes back at Citizen hard and
strong. He winds up by handing out
the following:
"This communication, signed Citi-
zen, with its quotation marks OF
sarcasm, Is the rantings of maud
lin, narrow, egotistical, idiotic mind,
devoid of justice, good sense or rea-
son.

much good in many ways, but it is
not until the rules Of mathematics
are applied to human affairs that we
see brought out great bridges, rail
roads, subways, lofty buildings, and
other things that are of public util-
ity, and which contribute to the
well-being of mankind. So it is only
when the teachings of Jesus are I'M
derstood and applied to human af-
fairs that we see the sick healed,
sinners liberated from bondage to
evil habits, and other practical
things done for the betterment of
humanity.
Many people seem to think that
Christian Science is some new thing
devised by Mrs. Eddy. but such is
not the case. 1t is defined by it's
founder as "The law of God, the law
of good, Interpreting and demon
strating the divine Principle and
rule of universal harmony" 1t was
understood and applied, in part at
least, by Moses and the prophets. 1t
is the same principle that was I'M
derstood and practised by Jesus, by
means of which he performed his
works. It is the same principle that
he taught to his disciples, and which
they in turn taught to their disci-
pies. Whenever it has been under
stood and applied it has been found
to operate as law Of humiliation
to sin, disease, and death, and to SUI
persede so-called mortal laws.
When viewed from any point Mrs.
Eddy stands as one of the great
characters of this age. She has
made a discovery in the realm of
metaphysics that exerts and must
continue to exert a more far-reach-
ing influence upon humanity than
any discovery ever made in the
physical realm. She has founded a
religion that has restored to man
kind the spiritual healing as practis-
ed by primitive church. Within the
brief space of one generation her
teachings have so impressed them
selves upon the public that it would
be difficult to find a place where
there is not a Christian Science
church or society, or at least where
there are not some Christian Scien-
fists.
Mrs. Eddy has been assailed by
critics, but that is not surprising.
There has never been a pioneer of
new and better things, a leader of
thought, who has escaped from crit
icism or whose Ideals have been at
once accepted by all. Out OF all the
criticism and misunderstanding Of
Christian Science and it's leader AMI
founder, however. there stands the
fact that it has healed multitude
of people. Sooner or later every
person will adopt that system of re-
ligious teaching which brings the
largest measure Of help and hope and
consolation, and so long as any re-
main who are suffering from unhap-
piness or sickness or sin, Christian
Science will offer to them a sure
means OF finding divine help.
