Unfortunately not a few democratic
editors. and some prominent ones too.
Are being led into the trap set for them
by these same wary republican howlcrs.

to the threat of tariff reform. 1t is al
ready worse than the panic ~ 1879. and
is hourly growing worse The repeal

is customary for many mills to shut

THEY CROWDED AROUND THE WAGON.
Mike. who was in the lead. stepped on
a rock that he mistook for a turtle and
fell forward down hill. They had

there were not 5 % many turtles. had a

Here they had a chance TO look
around. and saw that the sky was over

safe unless the turtles stayed around
until they were starved.
But there was a little water in the
bottom of the canyon. and down the
turtles tumbled as fast as they could.
appearing to have forgotten all about
their possible victims Most Of them
had reached the bottom. but not before
n rainstorm came up. and as Mike and
Jack were still unable to leave their
place on the rock they were drenchcd
to the skin. But that was q good deal
better than being eaten by turtles.
And, As they sat for an hour watch
ing the turtles pass them on the way
to the bottom Of the canyon. the rain
poured down and daylight made its APP
pcarance.
After the last turtle had passed they
were compelled TO sit there where they
were for some time 4 allow the storm
to abate a little. They put in their
time watching the turtles rolling over
one another in the pools at the bottom
Of the canyon.
Suddenly there was a roar like . cy-
clone tearing through a forest, and,
looking up. the two men saw a wall OF
water several feet high tumbling over
the powders.
IL was a cloudburst that had caused :
freshet, and IL was all tumbling on ton

they were all being churned like chips.

These were the animals that now
threatened the two men. and in an A..
slant il went through Mikes mind that
ehey were different from those he had
generally seen. They were surely
older, and had very likely come from
the quiz In a company and got lost.
Now they were hunting and were angry
and hungry.
AT any rate, IL was a serious fix. The
horses became frightened and ierked
away from the wagon and started off.
They ran to the edge OF the circle Of
ugly heads, and then ran around look
ing for a way out, while the turtles
snapped at their legs. There was no
way out. and at last both horses made

Nearer and nearer the turtles came,
and Mike and Jack soon had to climb

way. The turtles crowded around the
wagon, and the wagon was the only
place of refuge. Mike thought the
turtles might move on. and did all he

there was such a number all around

no hope of escape except 70 do as the
horses had done. and the chances were
very slim. But they had to do il. and

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, June 9.-An at
tempt to eassassinate President Machado
Nicaragua was happily nipped in the
bud, and, though a few persons were
killed on both sides, much bloodshed
was averted, owing to timely warning.
Minister Baker is apparently disgusted
with the Nicaraguans' lack of good faith,
and he is loath to lend himself to fur
ther good Offices in behalf of either side.
Should the entire diplomatic corps hold
aloof from the struggle, it is more, than
likely that there will be more fighting
in Nicaragua.

HURLED TO ETERNITY.
Terrible Disaster This Morning in
Washington City.
FORD's OLD THEATER COLLAPSED
Was Filled With Department Clerks at
the Time~--Large Number of
Lives Lost.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-9 :15-Ford's g
opera house on Tenth street, in which
President Lincoln was assassinated, has
just fallen in. About 400 government
clerks were in the building at the time,
and great loss of life is feared.
The. first floor collapsed through
weakness caused BY excavating the cell
lar, and in its fall carried down three
floors, and with them the hundreds of
clerks. The dead and wounded are be-
ing taken out rapidly by the firemen
and police. All the ambulances in the
city have been summoned, and the res
cued are being conveyed to the hospitals.
1t is feared 100 people have been killed.
The scenes are terrible. Some jumped
standing, but every floor is down and
every window is blown out. The build
ing has been condemned as unsafe for
some time, but sentiment kept it un-
changed. The floors were heavily
loaded with records of the record and
The clerks employed there were all men.
Corrected accounts as to the cause of
the accident are now partially obtain
able. The excavations which were the
immediate cause of the collapse were
being made at the instance of the war
department for the purpose of putting
in an electric light plant. AS already
stated, the insecurity of the building has
been repeatedly reported for long time
past. Whenever a heavily loaded
wagon has gone by the building seemed
to sway backward and forward, as clerks
describe the sensation. When the first
rumbling warning of the collapse came,
the clerks on the third floor, to the num-
ber of so or 100, rushed to the windows
and jumped for the roofs of the small
buildings adjoining on the northwest
side. Many escaped in this way.
One of the workmen, colored man,
who was employed in excavating the
cellar, and who escaped with only slight
cuts, said: 81 told them yesterday that
the archway would fall, for every time
any one walked over the floor it would
bend. I tell you 1 was scared, and got
out just as quickly as I could. There
were 20 men at work with me, and /
don't know what became of them.''

COURT IN GRANT.
The Grant County Murderer WIN Hang
Other Court News.

w. F. Gallin, jointly indicted with
Lima Shaw for the murder of A. w.
Shaw, her husband, has been tried and
convicted of murder in the first degree
at the Grant county term of circuit
court before Judge James A. Fee. In
speaking of the trial the Baker City
Democrat says: issThe prisoner is a
large, well-built, muscular man. of
powerful physique, but glance is suffi-
cient to satisfy one of his brutal nature
and sanimal instincts. Throughout the
entire trial, as damning evidence of his
guilt was adduced by the state, he sat
with apparent stole indifference as to
the result, and seemed to be satisfied if
he could only save his neck from the
halter. But his nerve deserted him
when Judge Fee sentenced him to expi-
ate his crime on the gallows on Friday,
the 14th day of July. He broke down
completely. While in the court room
he kept his face buried in his hands and
handkerchief, sobbing like a child, and
between his sobs his heavy breathing
and inhalation of gasps for breath could
be distinctly heard over the entire court
room.
The trial of Lima Shaw, the accomplice
and paramour of Calm, was taken up
on Friday. The evidence directly
charging her with being an accomplice
in the crime was that of Calm, but as
there was no other corroborating evil
dence the jury, after brief delibera-
ton, brought in a verdict of not guilty.
1t is the general belief, however, that
the woman is just as guilty as the man.

in the billiard world. He was born at
Plainville, Mich. AS he has always had
a fancy for billiards, he has given much
time to the study and practice ever
since he was youngster. His first real
match took place in New York city in
1890. In 1892 he defeated both Schaefer
and Slosson in contests for the worlds
championship. He was confident of
winning in this match.
OF his opponent, there is probably no
man more widely known than John
Roberts, the English billiard champion.

far as the land question and politics are

the attitude his holiness has assumed

us confident in that respect"
