or not. IN view of the assassination of
PRESIDENT Carnot and the recent at
tempt on Caprivi, our own governments
should not take great care to protect
presidents from possible danger. The
senator did not think any extreme pre-
cautions would be necessary. OF course.
he said, 1t would be wrong to permit
the president to expose himself unneces-
sarIly, but he believed the people
OF the United States think we'll
enough OF their presidents to pro-
tect them so far as any protec-
ton could be ayaillng. The presence
OF an unusual guard OF troops or police
would be a constant temptation to ILL
disposed persons. The senator spoke
OF an Interview he had on one occasion
with M. Carnot, during which he spoke
OF the high regard he had for the
United States, our institutions and
our people, and he seemed to know our
public men quite as we'll as many of
own people knew him. The senator
spoke feelingly of his death, and said
1t filled him with profound sorrow and
Indignation that so great and good q
man as Carnot should be stricken down
Dy the hands of an assassin.
Representative Hit, of Illinois, who
was charge d'affaires at Paris during
the eventful years from 1874 to 1881,
and in the last congress was chairman
OF the foreign affairs committee of the
house, spoke of the dead president as a
man of pure life and of unsullied char
acter and reputation. No man in
France. In his opinion. was held in
hlgher esteem or more thoroughly de-
served the confidence and love of the
people than he. Mr.. Hit said he could
not understand what possible motive
there could be in the killing.
1T seems" he said. like insanity
and nothing else. His life had been
without reproach. and in all the years
that he had spent in France he had
never heard an aspersion against his
character. The motive might have
been revenge for the execution of Vail
liant, as 1t was we'll known that the
president had withstood every appeal
and every influence that was brought
to bear to save the culprit's life. This
will very likely be found to be the
cause OF his assassination
Senator Sherman was yisibly affected
upon nearing the news of Carnot's
death, and exclaimed: ..This is a chine
against civilization. regard Carnot as
one OF the strongest men that France
has had in many years. He could al
ways be trusted to do the sensible thing
on every occasion. He was thoroughly
republican i'll all his ideas. and had the
greatest admiration and respect for
America and Americans"
Senator Sherman met him in Paris
four years ago. and recalled the recep-
ton given on the Fourth day of July in
commemoration of independence DAY.
On one occasion President Carnot spoke
Of America as the model republic of
the world and bespoke for her a glori.
Gus future. Senator Sherman was
greatly impressed with the earnest and
iunostentatious sinanner Of the French
president, ahd said that he considered
him one of the greatest, it not one of
the most,brllliant men, that France had
ever known.

struck the assassin blow full in the
face and knocked him from the step,
thus preventing the man from again
stabbing the president, which it was
his evident intention to do. Instantly
cries of lie President est assassine-"

him and attempted to draw him away
from his captors. This was found to be
impossible, as the infuriated populace
were determined to lynch the man, and
the efforts of the sergeants availed
nothing beyond saving the man from
instant death. Blows were aimed at
his face and h,ad over the shoulders OF
the police. who had by this time re-
ceiyed reinforcements. and many of the
blows landed fairly. At last the police
succeeded in driving the bowling mob
back foot or two from the prisoner. but
to get the captive through the crowd
was physical impossibility. In the
meantime the news of the attempted
murder had spread with lightning like
rapidity. and mounted guards were
sent to the aid of the police, who were
still struggling to preserve. the life of
the assassin. With drawn sabers In
their hands, the guards rode down into
the crowd, Needless of whom their
horses trampled upon. The crowd gave
way before the horses, and at last the

January, 1871, he was appointed prefect
of the department of Seine 1nferieure,
and organized the national d6fepses of
Normandy. In February he was elected
to the national assembly. took his seat
with the Left. and was chosen secretary.

being alsoa member Of the budget COM
mittee. He was re.elected in 1917,
and proved himself invaluable as "a
member of the committee on public
{ works. In August of the same gear he
was appointed under secretary Of state
in the ministry of public works. In the
Ferry cabinet of 1880 he was the head
of the ministry, and was enabled in
that position to carry out many of mis-
previously conceived plans of public
improvements. He was minister of
finance for short time in 1882 When
De Freycinet obtained the organization
/ of the cabinetin 1885 he called Carnot
{ to the portfolio of public works. and he
subsequently became munster of
finance. So implicit was the confidence
reposed in his integrity that the cham-
ber refused to accept his resignation,
even after it had rejected proposal
made by him to permit the Panama
I Canal company to raise money by
means Of a lottery scheme.
The presidential election of 1887
found Ferry and .Freycinet as the lead
ing Republican candidates. Ferry's
election promised to involve the coun-
try in anarchy, and to avoid that dilemma
the friends of Freycinet united with
other opponentso of Ferry upon Carnot.
After the first ballot, which, was not
decisive, both Ferry and Freycinet
withdrew, and Carnot was elected by
vote OF GIG to 1856 cast for Gen. Saus-

LYONS, June 24.-The bed on which
NJ. Carnot died was OF iroa. 1t was
placed between two windows of the
palace. At its foot was the bed ,sdf
honor, which had been reserved for. the
president. The incision made by the
doctors in order to stop the internal
hemorrhage measured about three
inches long by two inches wide. Itwas
thought that the entire population of
the city was on the streets when ths at
tack was made upon the president, but
this belief later proved erroneous. for
as the night advanced the crowds were
constantly augmrnting their strength.
After the attacks upon the Italian
cafes the disorderIy element among the
crowds devoted their attention to the
Italians whom they found upon tho
streets. Several were pursued by tile
mob and barely escaped with their
lives. The police. who were exrraordi-
narily vigilant, had great difficulty In
rescuing the hunted men. The Rue de
la Barre is now barricaded at both enis
and guarded by troops.

The Demoreat Contest.

Probably the largest crowd that was
ever IN the Cong. church at one time
was that which enjoyed the Demorest
contest entertainment here Monday
evening. The people were packed in
like sardines, even the standing room
all being occupied. The church was
magpificently decorated with flowers for
the occasion, due to Mr.. Curran's good
taste and energy.
The six contestants for the medal
were. Goldie and Belle Darling, Lulu
and Rose Miller, Birdie Henshaw and
Cora Myers. Each delivered their little
speech on prohibition with clear and dis
tinct voice and with the ease and ability
that would have done credit to much
older and more experienced orators.
Each speaker did so well that il evident
ly was most difficult task for the
judges to determine which was entitled
TO the medal In order TO secure judges
who would not I've liable 10 favor any
one through acquaintance, Mr.. Curran
went to the trouble TO go TO Fossil for
the three judges--conssting Of Misses
Jessie McLain and Stella LIastain and
Mr. Albion Kahler. After due delibera-
tion the judges decided that Lulu Miller
was entitled to the medal and rendered
their verdict TO that effect. Mr.. T. X.
Lyons was chosen TO make the presenta-
tion speech, which he delivered very
neatly and gracefully. A prouder girl
never won prize than was Miss Luln
as she received from his hands the
medal which had caused her so many
hours hard study and anxiety.
Besides the Demorest contest very
interesting program, consisting Of in
strumental music and singing, was rem
dered, all Of which was greatly enjoyed
by the large audience.
The next contest Is set for Sept. Goth,
and after eight such contests the eight
winners Of the silver medals viii be
given an opportunity 10 contest Tor a
gold medal; and after eight such con-
tests the eight lucky ones will then
compete for diamond medal. These
medals are furnished free Of charge by
Mr.. Demorest, a very wealthy old gentle
man Of New York. the object Of which
is to encourage prohibition. These CON
tests also prove highly beneficial and in
structiye to the Young competitors. as
there Is no school or other way BY which
they can learn orat0ry so vel and rapid
~ ~ in this manner. The rules govern
ing these contests forbid any one over is
or under IL years Of age competing for
the medals, and not more then eight
competitors in each contest. Mr.. Cur
ran deserves much credit for having in
troduced the Demorest contest here.

feet on the start, and the formers back
ers, besides many others, judging from
the race run on Sunday, July 30th, and
bis world-renowned record AZ sprinter,
were confident Of Stevens ability TO win
the race, even with such handicap.
Early in the morning, Stevens back
ers-Billy Hunt, Of Tygh valley, and G.
ID. Beach, an insurance agent from
Illinois, tossed theirs50 bills around pro-
miscuously, and which were promptly
covered until all their money amount
ing to about $3.50, was up. A great
deal more Of Antelope's money could
find no takers. Beach lost $65 gold
watch and chain, finger ring, pocket
knife and his hat, besides his money.
Billy Hunt lost his $50 oyer-coat, sleeve
buttons, pocket-knife, two fine finger
rings, and many other trinkets, besides
all his money. BY 3:30 the race track
west Of town was occupied BY over 300
excited spectators from all parts Of the
country. After the necessary preIiini-
naries, the runners took their respective
positions, with Grant Mays as starter,
and +. d. Macarthur, E. M. Wingate
and VIM. Menefee as judges. When the
pistol cracked, both runners broke from
the line as II shot from cannon, and
ran with the speed of deer with a split

slightly on Shut until within 25 yards

scared and spurted over the line about
9 feet ahead OF his competitor. At this
stage the Antelope crowd went wild and
such unearthly yells had not been heard
since the memorable baseball game on
June 10Th. Some Of the boys hollered
until their boot-soles could be seen by
looking down their throats. Shut was
tossed in the air and carried by the boys
to his tent, where he was dressed and
attended by his trainer. Mr.. Roderiquez.
II was severe and painful disappoint-
ment TO Stevens and his hackers, who

Next day Mr.. Stevens. in company
with Walt Silvertooth, left for Arlington,
from which place he expected to go to
Portland, where he no doubt will soon
be able TO win back his lost laurels, also

races in his time, having won race at
Denver last fall on which his hackers
had s2O, 200 bet. He has run in all the
