"A few months ago We were brought
to the edge of serious trouble by the
Mexican situation. European battle
ships were in Southern waters. War

the beginning OF hostllities.
ships, decks cleared and guns loaded
were ready for action. Happily, through
the wisdom OF Washington, the signal
for war was not given by this country
and the poorest sort of signal would
have answered the purposes of the men
who were determined that a war should
be brought on. The assassination OF the
Austrian Grand Duke was the small
occurrence seized upon for the opening
of tremendous events.

LEPER IS WISHED
upon NEVADA

Ciceraino Velasquez, alias Jose
Pavana, driven from California cities
because he a afflicted with leprosy,
has sought refuge in Reno and the of
fcials of the city and Of the state are
in a quandary as to what disposition
can be made of the man. He was pick
ed up late yesterday afternoon by
Harry Drew, Especial policeman, taken
to the police station where physicians
declared him to be a leper, and later
removed to the county hospital.
Velasquez has been an unwelcome
visitor in a dozen California towns.
He was given funds on the condition
that he depart but the money was of
no us to him. At each store that he
would offer it in exchange for food,
he was refused and asked to leave.
He Is in offensive, except for his
loathsome condition, and is apparent
ly doomed to wander for the remain
der Of his life. -.-...
He claims residence in the United
States for nor than 10 years, which,
If true would prevent his deportation
to Mexico. Some community will
have to take car of the man, accord
ing to County Physician Gibson, but
the local officials are at a loss to
know what they will do with him. He
worked in Arizona and California
towns until it was discovered that he
was a leper and then he was forced
to depart. An analysis of the mans
blood has been made by DR.. o. P.
tombstone and he and all physicians
consulted agree that Velasquez is at
f1icted.
There is no danger of contagion,
say the doctors, as the germ must be
taken in through the stomach in or
der to gain hold. United States Dis
trict Attorney WOODBURY., at Carson
City has bee notified, but has take no
action up to date. The matter may be
considered by the county commission
ers this afternoon and it is possible
that Velquez will be escorted to the
California state line and foisted back
on the state which wished him" on

FURTlVE SHOT
AT CANDIDATES

Rumor has been busy this week
with the suggestion that religious or
sectarian questions were apt to get
into the campaign before it was over.
The umo seems to have materialized
quite early, for already an anonymous
communication. in the form of a
mimeograph circular has been placed
in the mails. How generally it has
been circulated nobody seems to know
Evidently its circulation is not gen
eral, for inquiry fails to discover any
considerable number of copies re-
ceived.
The communication is suggestive of
an attack upon the candidates of one
political party by the reason of the re-
ligious Civilizations of some of it's can
didates. One of the candidates nam.
ed is not a member of the party with
which he is associated in the circul-
ar.

Just 300 years ago all anonymous German work, which ap- peared at Cassel. called upon the learned to join and test the claims =cf the Rosicrucian order, said to have been founded two centuries before hat by one Christian Roeenkrenz, who had gained his mysterious knowl- edge in the East The order was Christian and Protestant, and al though it professed to possess many eeerets, including that of making gold. it's chief object was the gratuitous healing of the sick. A tremendous controversy arose. the order being yio- lently assailed as heretical and as violently defended by the broader minded or more ereduleus. The whole story appears to have been a trium= phant German university spool.
