Wa 1 The democratic leaders in the First Congressional district profess to believe that Candidate Reanies will be elected to omce over our Binger Hermann, They attempt to give a score ot reasons why their candidate will be elected and the only one that will bear the closest I scrutiny of reason is, they want him to be I elected and Macawber like are "waiting J lor something to turn up, dui every day the democratic sunrises in a dense miasmatic fog and sets in the somber 1 darkness of dispair without a silver lining or ray of hope. Their early hope based on nothing less than that tue Ke-J publican administration would repudiate a republican candidate and throw the weight of government patronage to I elect a democrat because he would be tees obnoxious than the republican and the brayingoi;the democratic "ammnle I in this particular has been very amus- I mg. Hie ears have Sopped and flopped The evidence in the trial proved cn and as the melodious notes of wonder- clusively that Reed's, place was a gamb ous praise has echoed and re-echoed ling hall in which there was a regular Irom Oregon City to the ukiyou moun-1 tains, be posed as the sweetest song- bird that ever delighted the ears of an Uregon audience. But that beautiml, I sweet melodious song has turned to a funeral dirge since it has become know n that the Eon. Dinger Hermann and President Roosevelt are warm person1 tnenas and tnat it is only Secretary Hitchcock who is out of sorts w ith an I attack of chronic colic. And even if the I otner tneory is taken, a republican pro- J fessing republican principles would be-1 less objectionable to the administration than a democrat who would eiag songs in Congress of his popularity, and raise I low jinks before high heaven ; and what is strange, yes, passing strange, is, that the professed republican but in reality mugwump democratic newspapers of Portland with the great discernment of the Oregonian and Telegram should be ca right heralding abroad such trash. But underneath may te seen the personal animus and malice of Scott, et si, who are willing and anxious to turn ever this Congressional district in order that they may get a little personal satisfac tion out of the political and malevolent abuse of a patriot. Then there is another bottle of unction the democrats are un corking and rubbing on their weary eon Is and that is, that there is great dis satisfaction in the republican party aud that the dissatisfied will vote for Reams. Here again the democrats "show that the 1 gray matter is oosin from the nape of their necks. It is true that a lew citi-1 ten for political or personal reasons might have desired to see another can-1 didate nominated in the place of Binger Hermann, but there is not a true repub- lican in the first congressional district who will vote for Reams or who will absent himself from the polls on election day. When t Eat day is over it win ne iouna tnat instead ot tne repun-1 Leans leaving Binger Hermann bun-1 dreds if not thousands of democrats will have left their candidate and cast their ballots for the man who has done morel for all the old settlers than any man who ever stepped on the soil of Oregon, and while the papers at Portland are knifing Hermann in the back the citi- xene of thia district are not fools and Binger Hermann will carry the district by two thousand more votes than were ever polled for a candidate for con- grew. Xet us get down to business and show that we are not merely satisfied with the election of Hermann but that we want to give him all the moral pres- tige and support it is possible to give a popular candidate from th.3 first Con - gressional district. Roseburg Base Ball. The many friends of the American national game will be pleased to know that the membership in the Willamette Valley Ease Ball League has been finally settled as the loilowing letter will snow Albany, Ore., April 16, 1903. Mr. L D. Gibson, Member of the Board Control W V.B. L. IJear Sir: Ibavein my possesion a protest from Sec. Hamlin of one of the Roeeburg teams against the organization known as the "Roseburg Baseball Club' entering the Willamette Valley Base Ball League. In giving a decision on .this matter I cannot take into considers tion the local or personal feelings of the two teams. 1 would be overstepping my authority not to recognize the local representative that represented Koee - burg in Eugene on April 11th. Conse- quently, I declare the Roeeburg Bae- ball Club (S. Josephson Mgr.) the rep- resentative team of Roseburg in the Willamette Valley Base Ball League. Respectfully. (Sgd) Geo. M. Turner, Pres. W. V. B. B. L. The Directors of the RoBeburg Base Ball -Club have made every kind of protxjsition to Jackson, Hamlin, et a! that was possible to be made and every proposition was promptly rejected. The directors are now looking for ground in the Kinney Addition and also in West Roeeburg and with the League games to be played will give our citizens the beet ball game that ever been seen on the diamond in this city.

BRIDGE'S EXAMINING TRIAL. Honest Gambler Who Do.fi ot Know How to Cut a Deck of Card. The Plaisdsalf.r in the past thirty- five vears ha eecn much of the bright and Bhaiiy side of life but Bret Harto's Heathen Chinese Mould not have Invn in it for innocence and childlike manners in a game of fan tan w hen compared to the perfect type of honor and integrity as develojied by Bud Thomas the dealt' of the cards at Reeds gambling parlor in Roseburg. Jow the Plaixdealkb had its ear on the receiver of the wireless telegraph sv-stem and it knew that there was no end of tronble in store for the sporting f aternity if the Bridges episode was pushed, so we gave the interested parties a little advice for which we changed nothing, but while the advice was free it was just ag piquant as the mustard pgjjy find up on Rt the restaurant be cause it iim nothing. j our lsgxle the Plai.vdeai.ek jj it likely that charges will be pegged against Bridges, because if they are jt wj 01rn np to prosecutiou the parties who run the place where the gambling took place, and if Rosebnrg is jike n;ne ont 0 eyery ten of the cities on the Pacific slope in this respect, the case be settled out of court aud the qui. k er tbi8 is dope and the less there is s:iid aDout the matter the better it will be for tne 6porling fraternity in Roseburg." Contrary to all expectations the charges were pressed and the state by the district attorney went to the bottom of the entire business when it dropped out. gaming table w ith all the paraphernalia 0f an establishment of that kind. The witnesses for the prosecution of Bridges proved that gambling was looked upon a8 Jegimate business ; that the dealer 0 the 21 game ou his m evidence was innocent that he did not know how to stack a deck of cards or how to cut them without giving the player an ecal chance-minus the per centae in favor of the game it was also proven that there is cot the least restriction on gambling and that the houe was open day acd nigM and so far as Bridges and Thomas were concerned that Bridces went to ti e house with about $15J.50, that this money was in t-20 dollar gold pieces, 1-5 dollar gold piece and $7.50 in silver That during the progress of the play Bridges accused Thomas, the dealer, of cheating and told him that if he caught him at it again that hes Bridges, would take the bank roll. The plav proceeded where Bridges says that he caught him cheating again, and he then proceeded to rake in the monev he had lost in the play. He. Bridges, only JO"k, counting the amount he had loet and refused to take more; separating the gold from the silver. Thoas objected aud tried to restrain Bridges and scratched Bridges in the face and gut his little finger in Bridies mouth, who came down on it hard. Thomas ran to the back of the bar and Bridges thought that he went for a gun so to protect himself, Bridges rk-ked ud a chair or stool iid when be saw that Thomas did not in- tend to make anv right, he went back to the gambling table and got together ait of the money Le had lost but no more. For fear that Thomas would get the ctn ,n the table drawer, Bridges toou it ar,d backed out, unloaded the gun and the n broke it putting all on the bar. Sow the state wanted to prove robbery from the person by forc taJ the evidence J was against that and pointed to the fact I that Brid.-es did not take a cent that did njt belong to him, and if Thomas lost monev from the table some other man j got it. The case against Bridges was dismissed bv Justice Buchanan and now an element in Roseburg are talking about petitionins the circuit hi.hre to empannel a grand jury to investigate not only the Reed gambling Louse but all the gambling houses and sporting men in Floseburg. So far as gambling is concerned in this city, the course taken bv the men who wanted and at- tempted to send Bridges to the peniten tiary, they have only brought up the 1 state of affairs squarely before the rub- lie. For the prosecution of Bridges as the evidence of the prosecution showed at the examination, was nothing more nor less than persecution ; Jand while Bridges may have been guilty of gam bling, he was not guilty of robbery from the person, or in any way within the statutes of Oreyon At the examination there were pres ent saints and sinners ; greenhorns and toughs ; plucked lambs and tough old rams and the investigation has caused so much talk that it will no donbt le the means of commencing a crusade against that business in Roseburg. There is an old proverb which says: "Whom the gods would destroy tht-y first make mad." The pporting fra ternity of Roseburg w ho pushed for ward the persecution or proseeution of Bridges were very mad and perhaps that aneonnt for the wide r.nHi.-itr given to a common occurrence all over 1 the state. We do not intend that this article J 6hall in any manner reflect unoa the district attorney, for he was bound to prosecute and encuire into the circum stances of the case after a con plaint had been made against Bridges, charg ing robbery from the jK-rscn of Bud Thomas, but we do think that the sport- ing fraternity have put a club into the hands of men who will make full use of this occurrence. It is our advice to the sporting fraternity to "sing soft and low" if they want to continue in Rose- burg. Lewis end Clark Fair Club. Mrx Galloway, of Portland, who spoke last Wednesday night in the Ma sonic Temple to the members and friends of the Mental Culture Club, has been called elsewhere to organize rluls and has deputized Mrs. H.

Hurrible Dea'h by Electricity. Earl Fletcher met a very sudden and awful death at the Koeeburg Light and Water Company's office Friday after noon. The bovs father had made arrange. me nt 3 wilh the management of tho company to lot Earl go around with their lineman, Mr. llurd, and thereby lwiru some things about the business, and in this capacity lie liail served lor some time, and was at the office more or less all the time. In the rear of the office, and under lock and kev, are three large trans formers, two inoandosents and one arc light. Those transformers are conn- ct eddirect with thedynamo at Winchester Earl and Mrs. Jennie Krauti. the tompany's stenographer, were setting in the transformer room, the former was reading and Mrs. Kra.itzwent out into the office leaving the boy in the room She had not been in the office but a few minutes when three awful unearthly yells were heard. Mr. Pro3iiaii and Cookran wore in the 'office and they rutdied to the transformer room, where tho most aw ful night imaginable n their gaze. There was the boy with one hand clasped arjimd the wire through which I0,(w0 volts ot electricity wa coining liitermiUmIy, one log was drawn up in a crot-s wise manner, and and the coles of both shoes were burn' ing. The head had drcpedoveron the chest, and to all appearance death had come w heu the first circuit w as made. Mr. Cochran showed great presence of mi ud in his actious. He sized up the matter in an instant and fully realized that . the poor toy was beyond Riiy hunnu aid and it w as aa he could d to keep the other two people, who witness ed the awful sight, from running up and trying to jerk thebudy away from the wire. If this had happened they too would have mot the same awful death, for the Imdy was fully charged with as much of the 10.03 volts as it was otai Ide to al?orb. The three spectators had to sta-ad there and watch with absolutely no means in the human ower to reiiw his suffering. The boys hand which held the fatal wire, slow!? burned in that sizzlinz w ay, until the 'hand was burnt toaciisp and then slowly relaxed and finally drop, all the while, the soles of his shoes were smoking in the most awful way. As sooa as the Land dropped the cir cuit was broken and Mr. Cochran caught hold of the boys clot'..:ng and dragged him out, and ail the signs of life which were left were a few faint gasps. Ir. luGas was the first doctor to arrive, w ho was quickly fallowed, by Drs. Hooter, Fhher, and Twitchell, and although they tried all their skillful re storatives, the were of no avail, the boy was dead. The motive which prompted hici to lake hold of this wire will never be know n, but as lust we can learn it was through carelessness tluit he lost his iife. The wire is very heavily insulated, and a person can take hold of these wires provided they are Hindi ug ou the rubber mat w hich is laid bv the trans formers. The most reasonable conclu sion is that he etepped on the rubbet mat, aud then caught hold of the wire, and while still holding the wire he thoughtlessly stepped off the mat, or at least put one foot on the cement floor, a ud that made the circuit which caused his death. - The funeral services wf-re hell Sunday morning at 100 o'clock frum the Bap tist church, Rev.

VVr.ck cf Shsmrock Third. On Friday morning a dispatch lrom Weymouth, Liilaud, eavs: Sir Thomas Lipton's new challenger for the Ameri ca's cup w as dismasted in a squall today shortly after leaving this harbor pre paratory to another trial spin with the Shamrock 1st. Her mast, as it fell over the side, carried several of the crew, and all the gear mid canvass overboard. One man wib drowned, and several jor- sons, including Sir Thomas, who was knocked down'a hatchway, were. bruised or otherwise injured. I tie man who was drowned was a brother-in-law of Captain Wringle. lie was handing a binocular glass to Sir Thomas at the time he wai swept overboard. One of Sir Thomas' hands was injured, but not seriously. The hull of the Shamrock 3rd was not damaged. The mast, when it went overboard, went solid. There was at that time only one break, which was about seven feet above deck. As the big spar, with its weight of - ennvas, became heavier, ow ing to t!w water in it, the mast sg; in buckled its head, going down until it rested on the iKittoni. It is be lieved it wijl Ikj comparatively easy to repair the must, but a whole suit of can vas is ruined, l'.ariros with a c.rnno were soon on the sjM.t to raise the broken mast, nft',-r which the Shamrock 3rd will be tukeii to her moorings inside the break-water. A later dispatch says: Sir Thomas Liplon informed the corresKiiKletit of the Association Press that he exjK'cts to lie ready to fulfill his. ongHgement off KuLdj llook on August 20. Old Maids to the Rescue. Last Friday tho Western New . York Old Maids convention assembled at Rochester and Miss Amelia Higginson the president in her ojening address said : President Roosevelt believes in the rearing of large families. lie has a right to his opinion, but when ho places child lessness in the same category with crim inal acts, he g.es too for. The President is the father of what we Americans would call a large familv. He is not the mother of a large family. We h ve heard nothing about race suicide in the mothers of Atneric i : we never shall. "I.et the President grapple with the trusts, the tariff and the coming election Thev are more in his line. He can safe' ly leave the question of babies in the hands of the women of this great Repub lic." We always thought that there were two sides to the President's race suiride theory and now that the old maid o Sew York have started out to settle the question no doubt they will settle it to their entire satisfaction. One Hundred Good Moros. A dispatch of last Saturday's date says: Capt. Pershing's force captured Bareolod, Island of Mandanao, Wednes day, killed a hundred Moroe and wound ed manv others. Three Americans were wounded. Pershing's force consisted of Shaw' battalion of the 27th infantry, Kilpat rick's troop of the l"th cav.-lry and Mc- Nair'e batterV. Pershing was surveying the west rhre lauds when the iUcolodians opinxsed his advance and provoked the fight. Per shing's force surrounded and : tacked their stronghold, first shelling them, and, rushing his tr-'ops forward, charged gallantly. After rr-issing a deep moat and ontoring'the fort the Americans en gaged the Moros, bayonets against kris sfcf. A hundred of the defenders wete killed, including the datto of Panandub- gau, and many were wounded. Oidy three Americans were wounded. After the capture of the fort it w-a destroved. The Bacoloi leaders and the majority f f the people of that district has been hostile to the Americans and encouraged attacks on American camps. They re jected the tenders of friendship. It is ex i ec ted that the defeat of the Bacolodians will, result in aU the Morvs acknowledging American s-jvereiuty. Pershing's column is goirg to iiara- hue, which is alio hostile. . ...

"A special dispatch from Salt Lake City of last Friday's date eaya : Railroad men who were consulted by John u. itockeieiier Jr. while be was here this week say that the projected Rockefeller line to the Coast is a cer tainty and that, combined with George Gould, the oil king, w ill build the road which will complete the second great transcontinental line. It is stated today by railroad engineers who are in position to know whereof they speak that Rockefeller has aban doned his plan of buying the Clark road which has a Coast terminal at San Pedro. Instead he will build from this city straight across the great desert to Coos Bay, where be will have the finest harbor on the Pacific. Part of th way for this line has already, been surveyed and it is said that the work of laying out the right of way will bo completed at once. Rockefeller planned to build from the Rio Grandge at Green river to the Gould junction at Marvaville and then across Neva-la through Beckwith pass reaching the Pacific over the old Dona hue railroad at San Francisco bay, but this route has been declared impractica ble and abandoned. The Coos Bay line is the road Rocke feller will construct aud work on it will begin by fall, railroad men say. 'I.
