INTO THE DEMOCRATIC FOLD.


Nelson Bennett Hates the Republicans
More and Moro Every Day.
TACOMA, Sept. 22.-[Special. Tacoma
Democrats find it an easy matter to trap q
man who wants to be trapped. 1t was
only the other day that the Posr-INTELLI-
GENCER gave some facts about how the sly
Democrats in Nelson BENEFITS precinct
proposed to work on his imagined woes
and create dissension in the county by de-
feating Mr.. Bennett at the primary elec-
tion so that he could not be represented
in the Republican county convention.
The Democrats We're to stir up more
imaginary enemies for Bennett by defeat
ing his ticket in his own precinct.
Now that the trick is out, Mr.. Bennett
proposes to get his ticket elected by some
hook or crook. The Democrats are will
ing. Seeing they cannot create dissen-
ton by defeating Mr. Bennett, they are to
be hired to elect his ticket. So far as they
are concerned. Mr.. Bennett is to walk
into their web. They are to send his
Mugwump precinct ticket to the Republic
can county convention, hoping thereby to
stir up muss. Knowing it could not be
elected by the Republicans in its own pre-
cinct, Benefits Mugwumps wanted to
buy up the Liquor Dealers Association to
put it through by some means. One of the
sly youngsters in the Democratic camp
was also approached. There were to be no
questions asked If the bill for the work
was reasonable and the object accom-
plished.
Some days ago the Posr-INrELLIaENcER
referred to the Democrats who were max
ing a fool of Mr.. Bennett and his two
dozen Mugwumps. patting him on the
back and telling him he was clever and a
good fellow. The Euening Ners, which has
been resting quietly while the Ledger ex-
pounds Democratic doctrine, coquettes
with the Mugwump chief thus in an edi-
torial:
Tacoma Republicans are not led by Nelson
Bennett. SO far as street opintou will tell, but
Nelson Bennett is powerful because he keeps in
touch with the Republican opinion of this
county. If he will make the fight for them
they certainly have no objection.
Nobody seems to be jealous about the
Necs' Irritation. Nobody is Tilted.
For campaign speech, which as news
is worth actually two inches of space the
Ledger devotes three times that much when
Democrat is concerned, ard disposes Of
it with a few lines when Republican is
concerned

CUT HIS BABY'S THROAT.
Then Washed His Face In It's Bloo(
While Delirjoua From Fever.

While Delirioua From Fever.
NoRRIsToN, Pa. Sept. 22.-In frenzy OF
delirium caused by typhoid fever William
Lock today cut the throat of his 16-
months baby, telling it as he did SO that
it would be an angel. He afterwards
bathed his face in the blood of the child.
Witnesses were powerless to prevent the
tragedy. On Tuesday last, while delirious.
Lock, going to the room of his aged
mother. beat her over the head and
shoulders with club. Neighbors at
tracted by her screams rushed in and
overpowered the frantic man. The old
lady was badly cut and bruised, and her
arm was broken in two places. Her
physicians fear that she will not live long.
4 male nurse was then procured TO watch
Lock, but the murderous instinct seemed
10 have left him. Last night, however,
during the absence of the nurse, he en-
tered the room occupied by his wife and
two small children. Seizing the babe and
taking razor from the mantel he walked
out again on the porch roof.
Holding the child up in the air he cried !:
aIf cut your throat you'll be an angel
Jesus commanded me to wash my face in
mother aroused the household and neigh
bors. but they could not get TO the porch
In time to save the child. Lock cut its
throat from ear to ear, and then laying the
bleeding form on the porch he plunged his
hands into the warm blood and washed
his face in the crimson fluid. Lock was
taken to Jail where he will be held To
await the action of the authorities.

The New Westminster Fair.

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c., Sept. o.
Especial. THE third day of the Royal City
fair and carnival was dismal in the ex-
treme. Heavy rains. accompanied by half
gale, fell nearly all day, causing post
ponement of the aquatic events and base
ball match. The footbaliers and lacrosse
men, however. played of their matches
during a regular down-pour in the pres
ence of 5000 people. The Westminster
Vancouver football game was stubbornly
contested, and when time was
called neither team had made
point. The match was declared a
draw. The intermediate championship
lacrosse match followed, in which New
Westminster defeated Vancouver by 2
goals %. The senior match. provincial
championship series, was won by Victoria,
defeating Westminster by 3 to 2. There is
no sign of clearing weather and the indi-
cations are that tomorrow's programme
will have to be carried on in a heavy
Scotch mist. Most of the Seattle visitors
have returned home. but few remain
and declare their intention to see the car
nival out.

pllshed by adopting the report submitted
by special committee appointed year
ago to investigate the ''army headauar-
ters" feature of the order and suggest
whether it is any longer necessity. The
committee found that the system has ac-
complished its mission and has become too
expensive luxury to be borne by
the chevaliers. 1t represents taxation
without representation and arbitrary
power bestowed by law upon those high in
authority. and court-martial without
method of redress, not in harmony with
the principles of Odd Fellowship. all Of
which have become unnecessary with the
removal Of the cause that called them into
being, and have produced disquiet, apathy
and indifference. and in some quarters
have awakened strong opposition to a sys-
TEN OF government no longer necessary.
A determined demand was made for re-
turn to former conditions and relation
ships and the less expensive methods
given to other branches of the
order, thus bringing the civil and
military subordinate bodies in closer
touch and sympathy with each other. and
tightening the burdens that the present
system necessarily entails. By 'army
headquarters" is meant the lieutenant
general, his Office appointees and the
special committees of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge appointed to aid him in his work.
Its abolition will deprive the military
branch of the order of much of it's fuss
and feathers, but will bring it closer to
the non-uniformed organization.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge decided on
Milwaukee as the place for holding the
next annual session. The vote stood !:
Milwaukee, 10l: Chattanooga, Tenn, Sc.
A few scattering votes were cast for Chi

ready to turn in the water this week. One re-
port says that one OF the men could see the
flames, but this the inspector thinks impracti-
cable This accident will throw quite Q num-

whom can obtain employment in the other
