MONDAY, AUGUST 8th.

The Ellis Theater has secured “The Cowpuncher” as tlhe attraction for the opening season, Monday night, August 8. This drama of ranch life in Arizona was written by Hal Reid.!, Mr. Reid shows a" happy understanding of his subject. He has taken the rough cowboy of the plains, under whose shirt of blue the heart beats true, and developed him into a hero. Tom Lawton, a man who cannot write his name,-yet proves himself a born leader of men, a man to command, inspire and respect. Brave as a lion, simple as a child and the bearing of a king. The vaiious characters are built close to nature. The play is intense and interesting. W. F. Mann, the producer, deserves credit for the admirable manner in which it is put on. Scenery, liht effects and casts are said to be among the best ever seen on a local staige.

GOOD CROPS IN ILLINOIS.

Mrs. Sadie Galbraith writes The Democrat from New Canton. 111., where Mr. Galbraith is employed on a dredge, and say*. "Crops out here look good. W heat is good, oats fine. Threshing is almost done. Corn in field is almost large enough for roasting ears. Farmers say the corn crop is going to be good.

“We had a severe storm Thursday, July 28. Our cabin broke loose no telling how far it would have gone but for the dredge being ahead of it. Lightning struck the telephone exchange in our little town of New Canton and burned four buildings, the postoffice, drug store, grocery and barber shop. The water raised five feet in the ditch in a little over an 'hour and everything was flooded. It was the worst storm they have had here in years.”

SEEK PARDON FOR HER.

Lafayette Residents Interested in Case of Murderess Serving Life Term. Lafayette, Ind., Aug. 5. —Aided by friends in this city, Mrs. Alice Cooper LawsOn, who is serving a life sentence in the Indiana Woman’s prison at Indianapoils for the murder of her husband, Charles A. Lawson, a saloon keeper, in this city, on September 21, 1906, has begun a fight for freedom. An application for pardon or parole, will be presented to the board of parole at its next meeting, in September, and Governor Marshall will also be asked to assist the woman in her effort to get out of prison. The Rev. Oscar R. McKay, pastor of the Baptist church, of this city, is circulating a petition in Lafayette in behalf of the woman and is getting hundreds of signatures. Mrs. Anderson Vick, the aged mother of Mrs. Lawson, is working night and day in her daughter’s behalf, and several well-known lawyers, including Will R. Wood and J. F. McHugh, are helping in the movement to obtain Airs. Lawson’s release. The woman shot and killed hei husband at this barroom one afternoon, claiming afterward that he had attacked her with a beer mug. .

ADMITS ’TWAS BUNCOMBE

Continued from Firs- Page

their refusing to accept this excess or that would punish them for so, doing, will the Republican kindly point it out." Suppose that no marshal was appointed. Could anyone be punisher! for not appointing? Could not the council say what the marshal should do, and if he did not want to drive team could he not be discharged? As a matter of fact, if the council wanted to, or had any idea at any time oi wanting to do so, could it not very easily 1 combine these two places, of city teamster ami marshal without in any way laying themselves liable to any punishment whatever?

The Republican’s “argument” is too mushy to discuss. , t The reform resolutions were, as tihe Republican now admits, insincere and at no time was there any intention anywhere to pay any attention to this “platform” after the candidates “got in.”

BALLINGER ASKED TO RESIGN OFFICE

Senator Crane Is Reported ti Han Made the Request la ttie last few months President TaH and the executive office* in Beveelp sad In Washington have been literally: awarrped communications advicing tha president to dismiss Secretary ot Interior Ballinger. Within a abort time atop leaders of the Republican party have intimated, some boldly, others in aaero equivocal terms, that tha realgamlten of Mr. Ballinger from the cabinet would do usore to bring success to the party at the polls next fall them any one thing. Last week the Republicans of Ohio, although they nominated Warren O. Harding, showed that there was some sentiment for James Rudolph Garfield, on* of the most bitter opponents of the present secretary ot the interior. The vote for Garfield In that convention la acknowledged by Ohioans, who have seen Mr. Taft since, to have been In the nature es a ■lap at Mr. Ballinger. Last week the president summoned Senator Wlnthrop Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, to Beverly. Mr. Crone was asked to go west and it beonme known that Seattle, where Mr. Bellinger lives, was Included In the contemplated trip. The White House officials would say nothing, but preferred to discuss the political phase of the senator's visit. When the information came that Mr. Crane had ■een Secretary Ballinger in St. Paul, Just about half way to the coast, the White House officials evinced no greft surprise. The Inference was drawn immediately that Senator Crane acting, perhaps on his own initiative, but convinced that he would not be censured by the president, had asked Mr. Ballinger to resign. This Secretary Norton did not deny. But the report ran to the effect that the Republican leaders had seen the light and that Mr. Crane plainly told the secretary that he ought to get out for the good of the party. Mr. Ballinger is known as a fighter. He has said repeatedly that he Intends to "fight this thing out.” If Mr. Crane did aak the secretary to retire, aa It la believed, he may have been disappointed. Ballinger may prefer to wait until after the congress committee reports. The president, it is said, will not ask Mr. Ballinger to give up his portfolio. If Mr. Ballinger does so at the suggestion of Republican leaders It is acknowledged that the president will be relieved from an embarrassment. If the leaders acted without his knowledge In asking for Mr. Ballisgar’s resignation and secured It, it Is not belisved here that Mr. Taft would refuse to accept It.
