SHERMAN The nomination of James Schoolcraft Sherman, of New York, for vice presi dent, was a move well founded on log ic and conservatism. An able practic Ing attorney for nearly twenty years, member of the National House of Rep resentatives and most of all, a favorite with the voters of his home state, Mr, Sherman may be counted upon as ma terially strengthening the ticket, in spite of the fact that he has not been before the public eye except in New York. At Washington, he enjoys the confidence of President Roosevelt and has always been one of the leaders in the House in favor of the Roosevelt policies. v With the naming of an Ohio man to head the ticket, and the choice being so unanimous, it was a rare stroke of political diplomacy upon the part of the convention to nominate the New York man as his running mate. As was shown at Chicago, the great West is openly and unqualifiedly for Mr, Taft. The personality of the principal nominee can carry for his party this section of the country. But in the Empire State, the state patriotism of the New Yorkers demanded that one of their own sons have a place on this ticket. The Hughes boom failed and when the party leaders suggested Mr, Sherman, New i ork enthusiastically pledged itself to deliver to the party in next November, (he electoral vote of that state. Mr. Sherman is about the same age as Mr. Taft and his record as a pub lie servant Is nearly as long. He was admitted to the bar at Utlca, his na tive city, in isso. in if ne was elected mayor of Utica, where he serv ed with distinct credit. Beginning 1890, he was elected to the Fiftieth con&ress and with the exception, of the

Fifty-second congress, has been a member of the lower House ever since.

In 1892 he was delegate to the Re publican National convention. In 1805 he was chairman of the New York state convention, to which position he was again chosen in 1900. In 1906 he was chairman of the Republican National Congressional committee. This long record is an admirable one and it Includes a training that fits Mr. Sherman for the office which he Is des tined to fill. While he does not enjoy spectacular reputation, his qualities are such as to convince the Republican leaders that he will make a popular and effective campaign in his own state. A unanimous party support should be accorded the splendid ticket submitted by New York and Ohio. RIVERDALE'S CIVIC VICTORY. Purged forever of the odious sobri quet that has unjustly clung through two generations, that part of Rich mond lying north of the railroad and east of the river today starts a ew civ ic life, under the pleasing name of Riverdale." The north end has come into its own; for the betterment of itself and for the betterment of Rich' mond Its citizens have taken up the reins to lead "Riverdale" over a new highway. Since the early settlement of this city the section lying beyond the railroad tracks was largely devoted to manufacturing and for years was the dumping ground of the refuse humanity of the 6hops and road. The vul gar nickname early applied seemed to doom the north end to remain as it had started the tenderloin of Richmond. But ten years 'ago the tide turned and a gradual uplift was commenced that will be culminated only in the complete reclamation of new River dale as a part of beautiful Richmon. Prosperity and better social conditions have driven out the bad element long o; the citizens righteously objected to being classified under the old heading, and the movement that will mean so much was inaugurated. Back of it are some of our leading citizens, from both sides of the one-time boundary the railroad while lending their en thusiastic support are the civic socie ties and Improvement associations of all sections of the city. Riverdale has a wonderful opportuni ty to improve and expand and every citizen can lend his support in forget ting the old appellation. But the dis interested enthusiasm shown by the speakers at last night's meeting indi cates that this will be done. River dale shall thrive with cleaner streets and cleaner society and the ends shall more than justly reward the pioneers of the movement. A STRANGE TRAGEDY Girl Found Dead and Her Es cort Badly Wounded, Probably Fatally. MAY HAVE BEEN A MURDER Canal Dover, Ohio, June 20. Arline Knisely, aged 14 years, was found dead here last night, with a bullet hole in her temple, and Charles Spach. aged 60 years, with whom she had gone driving, was found near by with a bullet in his head, and will probably die. It is thought that both were attacked by a third person, as they were shot from the rear. Spach walked about 200 feet from where the carriage was found before he fell unconscious. He is dying. He was found by Raymond Jurgens. Spach owns a picture show at Ak ron and the girl was in his employ. He is married and Is well known here. The girl was the pretty daughter of Mr. andMrs. Frank Knisely. She was the girl who was attacked in Pittsburg about a year ago by a strange man, who cut off her hair when she was walking on the streets. PORTED MAY SPEND LIFE IN PRISON Convicted of Murder But New Trial May Be Granted. Portland, Ind., June 20. After deliberating only five hours the jury in the case of Ira Porter, the New Pittsburg (Randolph County) man charged with the murder of his wife on Jan. 15 last by shooting off the top of her head with a shotgun, returned a verdict of second degree murder, fixing his punishment at life Imprisonment. The Jury took but two or three ballots, one man preventing a verdict of first degree murder. The defendant received the verdict stoically, as it was expected, and made little comment, save to reiterate his innocence and repeat his story of the alleged accident. A motion will be made at once for a new trial, which.if refused, will be followed by an appeal to the supreme court.

MANY PAPER MILLS

MEJ) BE FINED Guilty of Violating of Sherman Anti-Trust Law. New York, June 20. Counsel representing all but three or four of the twenty-five paper mills included in the membership of the Fiber and Manila Paper Manufacturers' association appeared before Judge Hough in the United States Circuit court and pleaded guilty to Indictments charging them with violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. Judge Hougn. at the close of the proceedings, said that he would impose sentence Monday next on all the mills that pleaded guilty. The federal grand jury began an investigation of the combine two months ago. The jury returned indictments against twenty-five of the companies composing the association and against John H. Parks. INVESTIGATION OF ICE TRUST MUCH DELAYED (Continued From Page One.) "We are trying to discourage pay ment for ice by cash," said Mr. Johnson, "and for this reason the price is placed at what it is. We would rath er do our business by the book system. There are towns where they won't sell ice for cash to any one, but we didn't want to make the restriction that close." All Guess Work. Startling as it may seem, the weight of ice as retailed in this city is dependent upon the ability of the man who makes the delivery to gauge the weight merely by eyesight "We do not weigh the ice" admitted one employe of the company. "What would be the use? The scales on the wagon are no good and all we use them for is to hang the tongs to while we wash off the ice. We know how many pounds each full sized cake is supposed to weigh. If a fraction of the weight is purchased we just chip it off by guess work and in proportion to the size of the cake. If a dime's worth of ice is wanted we know that is one fourth of the price for 100 pounds so we try to cut off as near to 25 pounds as we can." Last year that was before the combine of the Independent and Union companies, ice retailed in this city for 30 cents per 100 pounds. When competition was at its height and if there was an understanding between company and individual consumer, it could have been bought for less. If the ice box held 150 pounds the price for all was 45 cents. By the system of the Rettig & Johnson company, the individual consum er does not pay for the coupon book until after the coupons are used. An instance is cited where a book was left at the opening of the season and when it was used the collector accepted pay at the rate of 30 cents. "How much ice do you get each time?" he asked the woman of the house. He was told the amount varied sometimes only 75 pounds were taken and at other times 150 or 125 pounds might be required, as the amount de pended upon the needs of the refrigera tor. "You will have to take 100 pounds each delivery," the collector stated, "or I will have to charge you 35 cents per 100 pounds." The assertion has been made that the employes of the company are not always honest in their dealings. On the cover of the coupon book appears the statement: "Leave this book near the ice box." The injunction is also given, that employes of the company will detach the coupons. It is charged that in some instances, through in tention or error, it happens not unsel dom that employes detach coupons for a greater amount of ice than is put in the box. A member of the police de partment said today that the employe j who finds a golden opportunity to detach a greater number of coupons than is required does so for a motive. The amount of ice a wagon carries away from the factory is weighed and the cash and coupons, returns made by the men on the wagons, must correspond correctly with the amount taken out. However, if extra coupons are taken from books, sales of ice may be made for cash and the money pocketed by the employes. A large enough supply of coupons will have been collected during the day to make proper returns in the evening and the company has no account of the cash sales and the money received for them. Another point has been made in connection with the charge of 35 cents to consumers not taking 100 pounds on each delivery. In case the refrigerator or ice box is of such shape that it will not hold quite 100 pounds, it -is impossible to accommodate that amount so the higher rate has to be paid. It is claimed by many consumers that. 100 pounds melts as rapidly as 75 and that nothing is gained in reality as the box has to be refilled just as quickly and only 5 cents is gained on tho 100 pounds. Some ice boxes are not deep enough to accommodate a full sized cake intact, and rather than have the cake cut into smaller pieces and the rate of melting Increased, as the result the consumer buys a smaller quantity and again has to pay the high rate. Whether or not the official family will see the light and undertake an au thorized investigation, remains with them. Until something is done the complaint of the light weight and scale of prices will continue uninter ruptedly. The consumer will go on paying whatever price is demanded as he has but one alternative do it' or

abandon the use at lot.

HIS TURN CAME. The Way the Liquor Man Got Even With tho Bank Toller. Many years ago there lived in Rutland, Vt, two mea who bore the same name, which name we will call W. O. Jones. One of these men was a dap per young bank teller; the other was engaged in running a cigar store with a saloon attachment in the rear. This was in the days of prohibition in Termont. Eyery three or four weeks the latter Jones would be haled into the police court and fined for liquor selling, which was chronicled regularly in the dally papers. The bank teller grew nervous about it, and one morning this announcement appeared: "W. O. Jones, the popular young bank teller of the Rutland National bank, wishes it to be understood that he is in no way connected with the saloon keeper and hopes their names may not be confounded." Now, it transpired that a few months afterward this young teller failed to appear one morning at his accustomed window at the bvnk. Upon a hasty examination it was found that $15,000 or more of the funds of the bank had also disappeared. Tho wires were called into requisition Immediately, and after a few days he was located in Denver. It was the old story. He was brought back, incarcerated, tried, etc. It was now the saloon keeper's turn, and this notice was duly published In the same paper that issued the pre

vious one: "W. O. Jones, the widely known business man of Merchants' row, wishes it to be understood that he is in no way connected with W. O. Jones, the defaulting bank teller now in jail, and hopes their names may not be confounded." Exchange. THE TURNED UP MUSTACHE. It Originated In Spain at the Court of Philip IV. The German emperor, William II., is generally regarded as the inventor of the turned up mustache. This is true only as far as introducing it as a fash Ion. It was Invented at the court of PhHip IV., about 1825. That monarch was the first to wear his mustache turned upward. From the Spanish court the fashion spread over all Eu rope. Charles I. of England, Philip's brother-in-law, and many members of the Austrian Hapsburgs adopted it It came to Belgium and was introduced Into Germany by the Spanish soldiers during the Thirty Years' war. It was also found in Sweden as well as in France under Louis XIII. Under Louis XIV. the beard went out of fash ion, and during the time of Rococo the elegant world knew only clean shaven faces until the French revolution brought the mustache again Into use. But nowhere except in Its Spanish home did the mustache rise so extrava gantly as with the German emperor and his imitators. In Spain all kinds of artificial means such as bandages and coverings, were employed to compel the mustache to keep this unnatural upward position and in looking at the paintings of Ve lasqnez or Murillo one can easily un derstand that without such coercive measures a true full blooded Spaniard could never have realized his ideal mustaches. Minneapolis Journal. In the House of Commons. In the days of Burke, Pitt and Fox members of the house of commons used to relieve the tedium of debate by sucking oranges and cracking nuts while lying full length on the benches, and Brougham made his great six hours' speech on law reform in 182S with a hatful of oranges by his side for refreshment. Joseph Hume found solace in pears, which he took from his bulging pockets and munched by the hour, leaning the while against his favorite post. No wonder oranges were so popular, since their vender (one of them, at any rate) was a picturesque girl who used to sit with her wares in the lobby, attired in a "sprigged muslin gown with a gauze neckerchief or in the glory of "clean white silk stockings, Turkey leather shoes and pink silk petticoat, becomingly short." Westminster Gazette. Tho Tarantula. Whether the tarantula is ever a death dealer or not is a disputed point. However, there seems to be no doubt that the idte of this spider-like creature inflicts one of the most painful wounds that the human body can endure. Stolid Indians who have borne the tortures of the sun dance without flinching have been known to roll upon the ground and 6hriek in agony when bitten by a tarantula, which leaves a livid scar that never grows dim. It is possible that the tarantula bite sometimes proves fatal, although it is difficult to find a well authenticated In stance of this kind. Chicago Inter Ocean. Even Buds Grow Old. According to a government botanist at Washington, there is reason to believe that buds share in the growing old of the parent plant. He illustrates his meaning in this way: Suppose the average life of an Individual plantsay a tree to be 100 years; then a bud removed when the parent plant is fifty years Id will also be virtually fifty years of age and if transplanted, by grafting will be able to live on the graft only fifty years more.

BRYAN IS TO SPEAK Will Tell the World What He Thinks of Republican Platform. HE HAS FEW OBJECTIONS. Lincoln, Neb., June 20. Beyond expressing satisfaction over the refusal of the Chicago convention to insert the planks providing for physical valuation of railroads, campaign publicity and direct vote on United States senators, the republican party thus putting itself on record against these reforms, William J. Bryan would pass no comment upon the work of the convention either as to the platform or its can didates. Bryan kept himself posted on the proceedings at Chicago through the medium of a bulletin telephone service to Fairview. His secretary came to the city for a full copy of the republican platform, and Bryan then entered upon the task of preparing an editorial criticism thereon. The Bryan criticism of the republican platform will be included in an editorial for his paper, the Commoner, but he probably will make it public prior to its publication in his paper.

A BROKEN CUP. The Way a Queen Saved an Old Servant From Dismissal. A charming story Is told of the former queen regent of Holland, the mother of Queen Wilhelmina. The old king had bought a fine service of Sevres porcelain for the use of the royal family, and be gave orders that any servant who should break any piece of it should be punished by being Instantly dismissed. One day a man who had been many years in the royal household confessed to the young queen that he had broken one of these Sevres cups. Queen Emma spoke comfortingly to him and suggested that he should mend the cep. That, said the man. would be useless, for the king would surely notice the cracks. Nevertheless the queen told him to mend the cup as neatly as possible and to be sure to give it to her that afternoon at tea time, when the king would be present Tea time came, and the queen, after drinking from the mended cup, suddenly rose and let it fall to the floor. It was smashed to atoms. "Think of me as one of the most awkward! of your majesty's servants," she said numbly. "I have broken one of your precious Sevres cups. Too must dismiss me at once. I don't deserve to be retained in your service. The arbitrary 'old king was highly amused at heCfdemure manner and considered the matter a good joke. He never knew the true story of the broken cup.
