tho stream was within three miles of

Miss Frances Ashe, daughter of
Archie Asho of Sixjkane, sister-in-law
of C. M. I-Kibo' was shot in tho
forehead this afternoon, presumably
by accident, during a burglar scare
at tho Lebo homo on North Orange
street. Dr. Conroy was called and
the wounded girl taken to the Sacred
Heart hospital. Tho bullet was
found lodged in the forehead just
under tho skin. Tho wound is not
serious, nnd recovery is .probable.
Tho shoootinjr followed tho dis
covery that lite house had been en

(ho kitchen following dinner. The
alarm was given and Messrs. Young,
Ruder nnd McDowell' neighbors,
rushed to the house, but found no
burglars. Then they heard tho shot.
The bullet is from a 32-cnlibro re
volver found lying he.sido Miss Ash
and as there nro powder mnrks on
her hand, it is presumed that in tho
excitement following tho discovery
of the burglary, sho discharged tho
gun. She was picked up uncon

With the new contracts which have

not1 complete tho work in Medford

oven if good weather continues
throughout. Since tho company an
nounced, that they would finish pav

is no doubt but that tho compnuny

for checking a condition that may
develop into galling tyranny if al
lowed to go on unchallenged. When
tin's gentleman renders a decision
along the same lines in every case
we are justified in saying he believes
in nullifying by court decision tho
sovereign power of the state. I do
not know what other states think,
but I can speak for my own state
and say it asks tho courts to do
homage to the scheme of represen
tative government. Let the courts
remeber that tyranny clothed in
the garb of judicial ermine has fea
tures as hideous as though" in the
hands of n czar.
Governor Foss discussed the pos
sibility of federal legislation regard
ing workingmen's compensation. He
said:
"Thero is a vague theory that
when the individual power of the
different stutcs is insufficient the
federal government should come ip.
In tho proposition of workingmen's
compensation it was thought the fed
eral power might bo invoked to cov
er the entire contry and to afford
uniform laws. If, however, there is
anything hostile to self government
or tho sovereignty of tho state, it is
not necessnryfor the intrusion t
federal control; if tho legal author
ity construes tho attempts of estab
lishing compensation to bo unconsti-
tutionnl, then it is tiino to consider
constitutional amendments suited to
modern needs and human justice"

cussing equal sufferage, said:
