Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 4. Mayor Tom
Johnson in discussing Bryan's stand for
ownership of railroads, says it will cause
the nomination of Roosevelt in 1908. That
such doctrine will drive thousands of
Democrats from the party but he adds
"To all such Democrats I say 'Cod speed'
To every such one there will be ten from
the other party to join us. The govern
ment ownership is the paramount issue
and with it Bryan will sweep the country."
MRS. KKKIY ABOLISHES POD
(Scrlpps Newa Association)
Roslyn. L. I., Sept.. 4 Ever since her
lection as a member of the school board
of Roslyn Mrs. Clearance Mackay has
practically conducted the schools of this
town according to her notions. Although
the :s the only woman member of the
board of education she exercises absoluta
control over that body, which meekly
approve everything the mitlionariess dec
rees. Her latest notions is the abolition
of the rod in the schools of Roslyn, a
measure which is the delight of the unruly
porpotion of the children, who have made
life a burden to teachers as well as prin
cipals. The schools were opened today and
with the beginning of the new school
year thsroi is abolished as an instrument
of correction disobedient and unruly
children. Although no positive statement
in the matter has been made it is expected
that Mrs. Mackay will take it upon her
self to bribe refactory children into good
behavior by liberal donations of candy
Those who are well acquainted with
the conditions in the Roslyn schools expect
that many of the teachers and principals
will be compelled to resign because they
will find it impossible owing to Mrs.
Mackay's ill-ad vised interference to main
tain discipline among his children.

by his physicians to be in a very critical

some time.

As a result of an attempt at robbing a
bunk house at Hillgard yesterday Thomas
Burk and Ed. Hele are now lodged in the
county jail. The two men had entered a
bunk house at one of the camps at Hil-
gard and were making off with a grip
containing many valuables when some of
their fellow workmen happened along and
took the two men in charge until Sheriff
Childers could send a deputy from this
city to apprehend them. They were given
a preliminary hearing and bound over to
the grand jury. Whether they are the
two men who so thoroughly ransacted two
houses in this city last Sunday night, is of
course not known, but it seems very
plausible that they are the same parties.
It would have been easy for them to make
La Grande a visit Sunday night and still
return to Hilgard in time to report for
work Monday morning. They have been
employed in the camps there several days
past.
The man Thomas is a very intelligent
individual. He dresses well and has every
appearance of having been a refined
gentleman. At the preliminary hearing
he acted as his own attorney anc exam
ined and cross-examined witnesses with
the ability of a professional attorney.
He it was who was caught in the act of
removing the valuables, and like Dimon
of ancient farre. he requested to bear
the burdens alone and rejged the court to
release Hele and place the crime on his
shoulders alone. The request could not
be granted and both men are now await
ing the circuit court cill. Mr. Thorr.as
will doubtlessly plead his own cause be
fore that court.

Goldfield. Sept 4 All of Goldfield
stayed up last night to talk over the big
fight. There is but one conclusion and
that is that Gans it a mighty popular
fighter just now and can have almost
anything in Goldfield. The praises of the
Baltimore negroe it sung by every body
while there it nothing but condemnation
for Nelson. There it no denying that
Gans put up a great bittle and fought
honestly and in the spirit of true sport.
His conduct both in the ring and after the
battle is exceedingly commendable.
It won for him more friends that were
ever lost by his faking. Throughout the
fight he had the sympathy of the crowd.
There were a mighty few who bet on
either Gans or Nelson that ware not per
fectly satisfied with Siler's decision ami
whether the foul was intentional or not
the former was so evident that there
was nothing else to do but give the fight
to the negro. Many are inclined to believe
that the foul was premeditated and intent
ional but Nelson people not only deny this
but declare no foul was committed. Those
who say the foul was intentional on the
part of Nelson, declared the Dane had
not only lost his head, but was rapidly
wearing himself out and could not.
be expectedto go much farther.
