THE publisher of a newspaper, as
well as a citizen in any other position,
is naturally gratiticd to have endorsed
and upheld his efforts in behalf of
right and in denunciation of wrong.
The Astoria (Orcgon) Artorian con-
fesses to such a sensation, as the re.
suit Of the dismissal by the court of
an action for libel agaist that paper.
The Judge very fairly ruled that
"whenever a newspaper finds a case
of fragrant wrong-doing and evil, it is
its duty and privilege to expose it,
and give it the widest circulation."

Battle Between Columbian Guards and

Sign at tho Worlds Fair.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS. CHICAGO.
Sept. 14.-There was bloody fight in
and outside of the Big Tree restaurant
in the south part of the fair grounds
between forty walters and fifteen Co
lumbar guards. The walters, who
were the aggressors, came out Of
the melee battered and bruised.
and the ringleaders were ar
rested. The disgraceful affair
began with dispute over a
big advertising banner which had been
sire tched across the driveway by the
saloon restaurant people, contrary to
the standing orders of the director
general. Sergt Darling was detailed
to go to the place with four guards and
see that the Objectionable sign was
taken down. While performing
his duty some of the walters
hurled obscene and profane words
at him and threatened to throw
the guards out of the place. While the
guards were pulling down the banner
a chair was thrown at them by waiter,
and the fight was on. The sergeant
blew his whistle for help and then ten
guards came up on the run. They
rushed in on the walters and handled
them with bare knuckles. The Big
Tree concession is in danger of being

YELLOW JACK At BRUNSWICK

Ouieter Feeling After Night OF Terror
and Wild RumOrs.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 15.-A special
to the Morning News from Brunswick
last night says: "After the wild ru-
mors of last night, matters have as
| sumed a normal quiet and people are
not leaving the city as they did before.
Many are going to st. Simons to spend
the night with their families who will
return to their business during the
day. A number of stores recently
closed are being kept open. At the
board of health meeting at noon, two
cases of fever were reported, the Cox
child reported last night and Mrs. Tur-
ner, in the northern part of the city.
Other cases that had been reported on
the streets, after examination. were
declared by the physiciansnot to be
yellow fever.
An important question was presented
at the board of health meeting. Who
is in charge of matters, the govern
ment or city authorities? One or the
other must assume the responsibility,
or great confusion must exist.
DIR. Guiteras said this evening that it
looked very much like an epidemic
is threatened; but he thought the slow
appearance of the disease hopeful
sign. Each death has been compli-
Gated with weakness from other ILL
ness.
Camp Haines will be inaugurated by
next Monday when Surgeon Magruder
will take charge. The people have lit
tie hope of escape now till after frost,
however. matters may turn.
The following bulletin of the board
of health explains itself:
TO THE PUBLIC.
The board of health announces that there
are two cases of yellow fever now under treat
ment in the city and that it does not deem 1t

While there is cause for apprehen-
sion, the facts are decidedly more
cheerful than the rumors. A few days,
however, will decide what is to be the
upshot.
The man who died at the hospital
was confirmed consumptive who had
been removed from a sailors boarding
house because of pulmonary trouble,
and after being placed in the hospital
was up and down until Sunday, when
he was reported worse. At that time
he showed symptoms of fever, but not
a suggestive type. DIR. Butts had not
been with him during the last days of
his illness. The autopsy showed, how.
ever, that he died of yellow fever.

GUTHRIE. Okla, Sept. 1.-THE situa-

riots have been started and quelled by
the soldiers 1t is feared they will de-
stroy the booths, and will go on tho

Choctaw nations, the crowd who are
constantly raising disturbances. Two
men and one woman were badly hurt
in the rush when the lines were broken
Monday. The interior department Of
fcials here expect to increase the force
of clerks in the booths and rush mat
tiers through little better.

Clerk G. w. Jacobs. of the general
land Office, who directs all the move
ments of the Cherokee strip registra-
tion and 1and-office officials from here,
over 81 900 certificates of registration
had been issued from the several
booths. At Arkansas City, where the
only serious overcrowd;ng seems to
exist, he had decided to put on a night
force of clerks and had made arrange
ments to that effect; that hereafter it
will be an easy matter to register
5000 to 5000 people during the twenty
four hours. At both Orlando and
Hunnewell three extra clerks have
been ordered into service.
"Sooners' Who were Too Soon.

three 'sooners" with certificates were

May Now Escape on Account of tho
Lack of state Witnesses.
CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-Dan Coughlin,
the ex-detective, convicted of COM
plicity in the Cronin murder in 1889,
and recently granted a new trial by the
supreme court, may escape with no
more than sham legal battle for the
sake of legal technicality. Many of the
most important witnesses are dead or
next to impossible to locate. The evil
dence against the other defendants can
not be used against Coughlin. Some
of this indirect testimony had much to
do with weaving the web which finally
landed Coughlin in Joliet, and its alb
sence may assist him in escaping the
legal penalty for his alleged wrong
doing.

face of the victim are hacked and bat

during the night, traces of the
bloody crime were everywhere. A big
piece of bloody cloth lay near the head.
and the surrounding stones were spat-
tered with blood. Pieces of clothed
hair adhered to stone as if the un-

against it to make his death sure. The
man was dressed in sailor garb. There
is no clew to the murderers. The vic
