The STAR regrets that the republican
county convention was not a harmo.
NOUS one--that it did not strengthen
the party locally instead of possibly
weakening it. =. Yet the contesting par
ties had sc hopefully and confiden-
tly looked forward to victory that
neither was prepared for defeat, and
therefore what many feared turned out
to be true-a split in the convention.
While such things are always deplored
especially such boistrous and un-
seemly conventions as the one of last
Saturday-it is not necessarily to be
taken for granted that any fractional
strife will continue within the party of
this county. We know that a large
majority of the best republicans of
Fall River county are opposed to any
fractional domination of the party, and
should any such thing be attempted
just as certain. willthe best republicans
be found ready to defeat such schemes
at all hazards. The recent contest
within the party in this county was
for the control of the delegation to the
state convention. to aid in nominating
favorite candidates. Both parties
could not be completely victorious,
and though by the bolt in the conven.
ton the matter was not finally settled
here, it is settled so far as
it should further affect this
county in Il political way. These diff
ferences must come within the party.
and, like reasonable men. the republi-
cams usually know how to settle their
little spats within the party, without
carrying sore spots for any length of
time. Those who harbor the Thought
that the recent strife will to any So
rious extent be broughtinto the cou,ily
campaign this fall, to the detriment of
the ticket that the republican party
may nominate, are way off in their CAL
culations-and it is mostly the other
parties that are limiting at such things.
Yet. the party can not afford to be
whipped about recklessly. and used to
further any factional ends. The
masses of the party will not sub
nit to it, for such would not certainly
be to the best interests of the people
The only reason that the republican
party is stronger than any other is be-
cause its principles come nearer rep
resenting the people, and because it
is composed of men who in the main
are fair and honest and who do their
very best to further the best interests
of our country-in general, in every de-
partment of government. The party
can only maintain its good name by
holding fast to it's we'll grounded prin-
ciples in local matters as we'll as state
or national. The republicans. the peo-
pie, must not lag in their interest in
any precinct-must watch every move
ment of the party organization, and
as a party at their primary elections.
and see that the wishes of the major
ity are honestly carried out. When
all do their part, and do as their better
Judgment dictates. even though they
may sometimes find themselves in the
minority, the result will be that the
party and the masses have been bene-
fitted for the judgment of IA majority is
always safest, and IA fair-minded. con-
siderate minority will not see it in II
other light.

 Her Baby.
 A special to the Hartford Courant from Willimantic says: Chester D. Fiske, editor of the Journal, had re- markable experience tonight He is well known as a hustler, but this time his proclivity caused embarrassment. He was expecting his wife on the train from Hartford due here at 6:30 As the train drew in he thought he spied her through the window and hurried aboard. Crowding down the aisle he gave the woman resounding kiss, caught the baby from her arms and started for the platform. The woman vainly tried to overtake him. On the platform a lady acquaintance of his said, "Why, MT Fiske, that is not your baby and that is not your wife,
 ''Wh-wh-what?" stammered MT. Fiske, holding the baby at arms length and examining its features. Before he could say more, the mother of the baby had her hands on the child and, despite his astonishment, the poor man began to look relieved. Terrible possibilities had been thronging into his mind.
 The woman said that she had taken the proce eding as matter of course since she had expected just such a re- ception by her husband. Then she walked away up the street. Mrs. Fiske was not on the train.

EXPLOSION AT BUDAPEST.
Powder Magazine Blows Up, Kills Five
 and Wounds Over 100.

dlQ WOunuS over 1UU
 Budapest, July 3O.-A powder maga- zine at Funfkirchen, capital of the county of Baranya, exploded this morn- ing with fatal results. The shock of the explosion was terrific. The town hall was almost completely wrecked and other buildings in the vicinity were badly damaged So far as Is known five persons were instantly killed
 Later investigation shows that the explosion was more disastrous than was at first reported. It is now known that more than 100 persons were in jured, and it is thought that large proportion of them will die. Some of the buildings in the vicinity of the magazine collapsed under the effects of the shock, and there is reason to believe that many of their inmates were buried in the ruins. The munich pal authorities aided by the military are making every effort to clear away the ruins and rescue those who may be imprisoned beneath them. The maga- zine was located but a short distance from the square in which the market is held. To-day was market day and the square was crowded with rustics when the explosion occurred. Among the injured are many of these country people,

would follow. Quicker than a flash he jumped from the wagon, tore like mad up the ravine, and stood beneath the spot where the cartridge would tumble into the gully when 1t reached the edge A scraggy bush of some kind grew out of the top of the wall, and Just as Soggs reached the spot the can or nitro- glycerine had rolled to the edge ana struck against the main stem or the bush. The can had struck it q trlile out of the center, and the heavier end of the cartridge moved on an men or two until it extended little over the edge. Soggs stood below with up- reached hands to catch the can if 1t fell, but there it hung against the bush. in position that looked as if breath or wind would topple it over into the ra- vine.
 "All this had occupied but few sec onds. As soon as the cartridge lodged against the bush Soggs ran back to the road, shouting to Jack to drive on so they could get to a safe distance before the falling of the can and its certain explosion on the rocks below. But when he got to the wagon he saw Jack with another cartridge raised ready to hurl it after the first one. He lowered it, though, and looked around at Soggs as if he was disappointed.
 "'The internal wildcats give me the slip Bill, and took to the woods said he Lord. but would like to burst one O these shells on him.
 That was probably the first and last time a wild animal was ever hunted with pint nitro -glycerine cartridges, and that was the last trip Devil Jack ever drove for the company he was working for. He wasn't discharged be- cause he so recklessly endangered life and property by throwing cans of ni-
 tro-glycerine at a wildcat, but because he drove on from the ravine without getting back the first can he threw, and the company would not stand such a waste of their property.
 T heard that Devil Jack hauled nj tro-glycerine for six or seven years more for mining company up in Dutch Flat region. He was just as | reckless there and was discharged and | rehired again and again He at last | met his death by drowning-h a cramp while swimming in the Sacra- | mento river. The strange fact is that | the water was not over four feet deer anywhere in the locality where he was | drowned. It seemed as if an average boy could have got out of the water | safely. ."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
