In Colorado: Governors born of women are of but “few days” and full of ballots. * ' Mrs. Chadwick may be expected to blossom forth as a magazine contributor in a little while. Hereafter when we discuss the war we intend to talk familiarly about Tie Pass. It is the first name we have been able to pronounce. • There is little satisfaction in being elected governor of Massachusetts. They have an election every year and Gov. Douglas, who has hardly secured a grip on his seat, is already a candidate for re-election. The Chicago city election will be held next Tuesday. Judge Dunne is the democratic candidate for the mayoralty and Judge Harlan the republican candidate. The former is not a believer in race suicide, but on the contrary has an interesting family of ten children. The general opinion seems to be that Dunne will be an easy winner. s John L. Moorman, who is editor of the Stark County Republican and also chairman of the Thirteenth district republican committee, came out in his paper last week in a column editorial headed, “Too Much Roosevelt,” iu which he takes the president to task for his civil service ideas and the report that was recently sent out from Washington that no postmaster would be removed except for cause, without regard to length of time he may have served. Moorman deplores the fact that party workers are to go unrewarded, and ends by saying:» “From present indications the rank and tile of the republican party will look forward as longingly to the 4th of March, 1909, as the democrats did to the same day and month of 1897 —too much Cleveland, too much Roosevelt.” The fact that Bro Moorman is the republican chairman of his congressional district has caused a his remarks to be widely quoted and has caused a sensation in the republican camp.

To Mr. Blodgett’s article ou the nerve of bankers, might be added the nerve displayed by the McCoys of this place; how the elder McCoy for years has gone up and down the county bellowing about fifty-cent dollars, wild-cat currency and wild-cat banks, when the only kind of a fifty cent dollar he or anyone else ever saw or expects to 6ee is perhaps the one hundred cent dollar depositors placed in his rotten bank and now hope to get fifty cents back for it, minus about thirty cents. And, as to wild-cat currency aud the wildcat banks we have heard so much about in the early days of Northern Indiana, more money was lost in McCoy’s sheepskin bank —twice over, probably—than was ever lost in the entire northern section of the state in the days of so-called wild-cat currency. 1 The McCoys must have known for years that their bank was hopelessly insolvent, and yet they kept a stiff upper lip and went on raking in the shekels with offers of big interest rates; gave swell receptions to people who might have a few hundred dollars to place in bank; bought stylish equipage-, gasoline launches and fast horses. Talk about nerve, if the McCoys have cot displayed an amazing amount of it we have never seen anything of the eort.

“REFORM” METHODS

Temperance Advocates Seem To Be a Little Too Zealous in This Town. “CHRISTIAN” ADVICE TO A WIFE Aiked to Poison Her Hnsband Because He Doesn’t Agree with Nicholson’s Liiw. Ladoga, Ind., March 30.—An anonymous postal card was received a lew days ago by a well-known woman in regard to her husband, who is one of the most prominent professional men in tills community, but who believes that saloons would be better than present conditions in Ladoga. The postal card reads: “I>ear Madam —If you knew with what contempt your fisty husband was held in your town, you would move out or give him a dose of ‘rough on rats.’ All decent people have dropped him. Now notice it. Scat you puppy!” The was mailed in Crawfordsville find the only signature was three crosses. Lawless Methods of "Reform.” As some of the women are taking a very active part in the remonstrance work at this place, and as the card bears evidence of having been written by a feminine hand, there is no doubt In the minds of those most interested that it comes from a woman remonstrant. In fact, the recipient of the anonymous card thinks she has established the identity of the writer. Some More of the Same. The anonymous postal card, however, is only one example of the way in which business men have been attacked iu a cowardly, threatening manner. A few days ago a landlady at this place turned away from her home one of the town’s most respected citizens and his wife because the man withdrew his name from a remonstrance and refused to sign it again. Merchants have been threatened with boycott, and all kinds of ill treatment has been endured by them. Some of the most prominent remonstrants are those who have caused others to violate the law by selling whisky illegally. Saloonlst Appeals HU Case. John V. Merchant, who was refused a liquor license last month, has appealed Ills case to the circuit court and may carry It to the appellate court. It is not the saloon element, but the leading men of the tow n w ho believe business has been seriously damaged and moral conditions made worse than In former years by the illegal sale of liquor, and that saloons would be better than present conditions. MUST “FISH OK CUT It AIT" So an Oil Company Is Told That Has Slept on Its Rights Too Long. Indianapolls, March 30. —ln deciding that the Ohio Oil company Lad forfeited its rights under a gas lease on lands In Huntington county by falling either to drill for oil or to pay the stipulated half-yearly rent. Judge Hadley, of the supreme court, said: “Whether It proceeds from design of crafty speculators in oil and gas leases to enshroud their contracts with doubtful, surd provisions ns a means of promoting their interests, or whether it conies irom a custom in the rural districts of employing unskilled draftsmen, it is a notable fact that few subjects of contract contribute to the courts an equal proportion of written agreements for Interpretation. “We think the suit was well brought. Under the contract it had made, appellant could blow hot and cold and postpone development of the land to suit its own pleasure. It was a case of fish or cut bait. Having paid no money, completed no successful possession for more than seven months it must be held that appellants’ rights in the premises had come to an end."

BOMB THROWERS BUSY AT WARSAW

Chief of Police Badly Hurt as One of the Results of a Plot. ATTACK ON A POLICE STATION Precedes the Attempt to Kill the Chief, and Wounds Six. Officer Is Hastening to That Point When He Meets the Assassin, Who Escapes, After Kilting a Pursuer. St. Petersburg, March 30. —A telegram from Sitjasa, Manchuria, under date of March 30, says: “The Chinese report that a Japanese column whieh is probably carrying out a flanking movement has been seen twenty-seven miles northeast of Fipinghai (seventy-four miles north Tie pass). St. Petersburg, March 30.—Officially the authorities continue to deny stoutly that Russia has made any proposals to Japan. This is literally true, as Russia has only made known the negative conditions—no cession of territory and no indemnity—leaving the intermediary to convey these conditions on its own responsibility to Japan. Diplomats in St. Petersburg are convinced that something is in progress, but none of those in a position to know will acknowledge that they are aware what„ actually has been or is being Qoite: Gunshu Pass, March 28.—The Japanese apparently have withdraw n from the region to the south of the Russian front. Cossack patrols which have been making extensive reconnaissances southward found no Japanese within thirty-five miles. General Lfneviteh is dispatching scouting parties east and west to guard against a possible turning movement. Warsaw-, March 27.—A bomb was thrown into the carriage of Baron Von Nolken, chief of police of Warsaw, at 8 o’clock last evening. The attack on Baron von Nolken was the result of an elaborate conspiracy of the revolutionary party.. Shortly before 8 p. m. an elegantly dressed man went to the police station at Praga, a large suburb of Warsaw, on the other side of the Vistula, and threw a bomb into the assembly room of the station, wounding six persons, two of them dangerously. The man started to run away, but was caught by the captain of the station. He was found to be a Jew. but his identity has not yet been discovered. Second Ilomb It Thrown. A telephone message was immediately sent to Baron von Nolken at the city hall. Informing him of the outrage. Baron von Nolken, accompanied by a police official, took a carriage and started immediately for Praga. When passing the castle where the governor general resides a man standing on the pavement threw a bomb at the carriage. Baron von Nolken. who was sitting on the side nearest the assailant received the full charge of the bomb, while his companion escaped unhurt. The coachman was throw n from the box and the carriage was smashed. Baron von Nolken was removed to the city hall, and doctors were summoned who found he had received injuries on the head, neck, arm and leg which are believed to be serious. Bomb-Thrower Get* Away. Meanwhile the police official accompanying Baron von Nolken saw the bomb thrower fleeing, and pursued and caught dp with him, but the criminal proved the stronger and tore himself away. Another policeman fired twice after him without result. Half an hour later a man was found dead in Sowia street, but he proved to be a plainclothes policeman who was seen pursuing Baron von Nolken’s assailant. The police believe that thelatter turned on the policeman and shot him dead. Baron von Xolken’s injuries are serious, but it is thought that be will recover. A girl who was passing the spot when the bomb was thrown was wouuded by splinters, and bad to be taken to the hospital. How the Plot Was Laid. According to the theory of the police the revolutionists calculated upon Baron von Nolken going to Praga on learning of the explosion of the bomb at the station there, and knew he must pass the castle, that being the only road by which be could reach the only bridge across the Vistula. The affair caused great excitement. A popular rumor says the revolutionaries adopted this course of informing the police that they have more bombs besides those discovered in the Powonski cemetery Saturday. BUSMAN POLITICAL SITUATION Men Who Noser Took Part In Politic* Are Now Actlvo Liberals. St. Petersburg, March 27. A very significant and important feature in connection with the political situation is tie fact that the disaster and ruin with which trade and Industry are threatened is forcing the merchant and commercial classes of the big cities into politics. Heretofore as a matter

business they have carefully refrained from meddling in the liberal movement, but the situation Is now so serious that they feel compelled to define their attitude, and everywhere they are pronouncing in favor of the liberal demands for the cessation of the war and for a constitution. The peasant movement in south and west Russia continues to spread. There has been a renewal of the burning and destruction of property in the Chernigoff government, the peasants attacking especially the property of M. Tereschtenko, a rich sugar refiner who has 400,000 acres planted to beets. Several landlords have been murdered. The peasants in other sections are taking armed possession of forest land, on which they had the right of cutting wood before emancipation, and are offering resistance to the police. The reference in the Warsaw account of the attempt on the life of Baron von Nolken to bombs found in a cemetery Is to the fact that the police at Warsaw discovered eighty bomlis hidden in a brick grave in the Powonski cemetery in Warsaw. A revolutionary movement of considerable proportions is making Itself manifest in connection with the industrial disturbances in the region around Siedlco, Blelsk, Vlodslavsk, Rodin and Lukov, south and southeast of Warsaw. The country has been flooded with proclamations of foreign and local origin calling for a rising in Poland. At Moscow an organized depot of arms and liombs was discovered recently on the premises of a rich merchant named Barassoff. Investigation disclosed a conspiracy to distribute arms. There have been over 800 arrestß in connection with the affair. FOB WHAT IT IS WORTH Bomor it P*rli That the Czar Failed at Attempted Suicide, Paris, March 30.
