Friends Fear She Will In
jure Herself.

NEW FoRx, Sept. 5.--George Lough-
ran saved his girl wife from a horrible
Death Saturday and paid the price in
FOrdham Hospital yesterday with his
own life. Loughran was u compositor.
He was p years old. His wife is two
years younger than he: The young
couple took half holiday Saturday
afternoon at Hasl<ins' dock Mrs
Loughran started anead of her
husband to cross the Northern railroad
tracks when her husband saw . north
bound express train come, rushing
around the curve. The locomotive was
almost npon her before he could ever
shout. Mrs. Lougllran did not realize
the situation and when she heard her
husband call to her she turned
around. As she did so Lough-
ran gave her push that
threw her fur beyond the track.
In the same second the pilot of the To-
connective struck Loughran and hurled
him fifty feet. Mrs. Loughran, shaken
up and confused by her fall, did not
realize what had happened until she
heard her husbands grosns. She ran
to him and fell in Il fnint. Loughran
was taken to the Fordham hospital
He was possessed of wonderful vitality
and made a strong fight against death.
His in uries, however, were too many
and too severe and he died yesterday
afternoon while unconscious. Mrs
Loughran is distracted with grief and
her friends arc watching her for fear
she may injure herself.

Milwaukee, Aug. 31.-The democratic

CANADIANS HOLDING BACK

Few Dominion Vessels Passing Through
the So. Mary's Canal.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Reports re-
ceived as to the collection of tolls on
the Sault Ste. Marie ca nal UNDER the
Presidents proclamation seem to indi-
cate that Canadian vessel are holding
back, waiting to see what action the
Canadian government will take in the
way OF refunding the tolls imposed by
the United States. Thus far the
Canadian authorities have not given
the slightest indication of any purpose
to fill the expectations entertained of
them in that respect, and grain steam
ers are leaving Montreal only half
loaded. On the first day of the en-
forcement Of the proclamation only
one vessel out of sixty-two which
passed through was a Canadian
bottom. This was the United En-
pire, which carried $50 tons of
flour and twelve tons of mixed
freight for Sarnia. On this she paid
toll amounting to SLIP. She had also
Mich, on which no toll was collected,
as it was destined for an American
port. The next day three vessels out
of fifty-two were Canadians, one Of
them being Canadian Pacific liner.
The number is now increasing every
day and the amount Of tolls collected.
is proportionately greater.

the democracy said little and made lit

1t certainly is an Interesting fact
that we seem to have aroused the re-

that useless and decrepit organ has had
a long vacation; but ever since our first
appnrtionment bill, the republican lead
ers in true camp meeting style have

Two years ago the republican party
was fired with enthusiasm over another
ISSUE. They were carrying the doctrine
Of protection to its logical result, by de
claling that every fOraign-born- citizen
should educate his children after the
true republican fashion, and in the Ill
tie red school house" One of the very
first acts Of the democratic legislature
was to repeal the statute into which
this particular form Of reDubIicaniSm

democracy was redeemed wher this

''In the last republican platform. our
republican friends have expressed no
opinion upon this question which, two
years ago, they deemed the burning
question Of the hour. You may indeed
trace in the expression Of their party
leaders considerable depreciation and
some Indications of vain regret, but no
vestige Of repentance. They perhaps
feel that if from this question they run
away, they may live to fight another
day. They profess On that question to
have buried the Ratchet, but they have
done SO With exceeding care, and in SO
handy q place that it may be soon un-
earthed if their majority should be
safe.
''On these questions of state concern
there is no doubt as to the attitude of

another senator, a worthy colleague of
member of the state administration has
sought to redeem the pledges Of his
party. They have shown us that the
pledges Of political campaigns are not
always as sounding brass or tinkling

Mr.. Jones then discussed the tariff at
considerable length and concluded
thus:
I'VE must elect a state legislature,
and such a legisla ture as will place for
us in the senate of the United States
one we all delight to honor, William T.
Villas. (Applause) Finally we must
give the national democracy Wiscon-
sins electoral vote. We invite to join
us in the march the cid democracy,
tried and battlc-SCalTed in the conflicts
of the past. We invite 10 less cor
daily those who in the last campaign
left the party which threatened not only
commercial freedom, but the freedom of
the home. We invite the young men of
this generation to join in this struggle.
We ask them if they can afford to cast
their political fortunes with those lead
erS who sncer at the teaching of the
schools, who scott at the conclusions
of the only great economists of modern
times. And now. as we open this cam
paign, let Us remember that it must be
one of principles and not Of petty per-
Sonalties. With such cause and with
such leaders Ill state and nation we can
call upon the loyalty of every democrat

Creek-Troops Ordered Back.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 5.-A dis
patch from Coal Creek says: Notices
have just been posted at all the mines
here ordering all union miners to stop
work. They are signed ''The Com
mit5ee." The Second regiment has
been ordered back here and win prob
ably report on Tuesday. James G. De
Gruchy, for whom scouting squads have
been on the lookout for two weeks,
was captured at Hartman last even
ing. He said he was a sharpshooter
and used government needle guns to
fire into Fort Anderson. He thought
he killed the cannoneer in the fort. As
he is known to be d crack shot, this is
probably true. 1t is reported that at a
secret meeting of between six and
seven hundred miners as Jellico it was
resolved to make another attack on
Coal Creek this week.

Release of a Lot of the Prisoners al
Wardner, Idaho


Vardner, Idaho.
WARDNER, Idaho, Sept. 5.-One hun
dred and thirty five prisoners were re-
leased at Wallace yesterday afternoon.
Indictments were found against
every one of them by the United
States grand jury now in ses-
sion at Couer d'Alene City. But
it is deemed best not to bring them to
trial now but keep the indictments
hanging over them as an incentive
to good behavior. Not more than
twelve or fifteen of those indicted will
be brought to trial. Only ten prison
ers remain at Wallace. The Fourteenth
Infantry of Vancouver will be sent
home AND the Fourth Infantry of Fort
Sherman shortly after, leaving the
troops from Fort Spokane, under Col.
Cook, to maintain peace. The released
miners are confident they will yet sue
coed in driving out the non-union men.

estimates put it. Manager
Petit of A. J. Sawyer e. Co was
believer in $500 900 some weeks
ago. He has no hesitation now in say
ing that an even hundred million will
suffice. He says there has been great
damage from sllrinlage of the berry,
which will affect the weight of the
grain materially. A. d. milford be-
lieves that 100000, 900 will cover tn
yield of wheat this year. He does not
look for much No. 1 hard wheat in the
lot. j. Ii. Peacock says 100, 100000
will fit the new crop. From these
statements it will be regarded as safe
to put the cropof the three States at
