Manager Bunott had considerable to
say regarding the two F'renchmen, Ri
Vierre and Stephane. He even went so
far as to declare that no foreigner had
a fair chance in this country against
the Americans, claiming on this score
that men were in the race simply to
pace some OF the Americans. Regard
ing Rivierre's condition, he said that
the Frenchman's leg was in bad shape,
but that otherwise he was all right.
Stephane's complaiat was in refer
ence TO the sDrinting that had been
done by the exhibition riders during the
contest.

sTEUNENBERG FOR SENATOR.

It is gossip here that Governor Steu-
nenberg is being groomed for the SEN
atorial race three years hence. His
friends believe he is in every way
qualified to 81 a seat in the United
States senate, and they are credited
with having already commenced the
work Of mapping out a vigorous cam
paign in his behalf. In the meantime
the governor pursues the even tenor of
his way, giving the people a splendid
administration.
The people generally may not know
that Idaho's executive is in a fair way
to become q wealthy man. He has Civ
en- considerable attention to mining in
terests Of late, and it is said that he
has identified himself with some Of the
most promising properties of the state
and is in a fair way TO make for him
self a snug little fortune.
IF there ever was man who de-
served success it is Idaho's present
governor. Not many people know it,
but it is a fact that when Governor
Steunenberg came TO Idaho he was dis

into the state in a box car. being too

Don't Fly or The Har die.

The editor of en- exchange. who
has evidently had some experience
writes the following sensible article:
To run newspaper without
occasionally publishing an item that
is incorrect, or gives offense. is like
running a railroad without having
smashups or accidents. 1t cannot be
done. No man in the world is so
much imposed upon as the editor of
q newspaper. Pushed with work
continually, he must rely upon sec.
ond and third parties forirformation
as to the events that trauspire. Ere.
quently statements are received
from reliable people, but which are
subsequently, discovered to be with
out foundation in fact. If therefore,

THE END OF A BUSY LIFE.

Gardiner G. Hubbard, Well Known IN Con-
nection with the Bell Telephone Co.,
Dies.
Washington, Dec. 13-Gardiner G.
Hubbard, director in the Bell Tele-
phone Co. and we'll known to public
men, scientists and financiers, died at
his suburban residence few miles
from the city, Saturday. He was born
in Boston in 1899 and was graduated
from Dartmouth in 1s41. He entered
the law school at Cambridge and on
admission to the bar practiced law in
Boston until 1873, when he removed to
Washington.
He early became interested in the
Bell Telephone Co. and in 1878 retired
from law practice to devote himself to
it's interest. He was the controlling
spirit in its financial affairs during the
next five years. After it was intro
duced successfully in this country, he
crossed to the old world and organized
the international, Oriental and other
companies. His next important serv-
ice for the company was in connection
with the celebrated Berliner patent,
which he So managed as to prolong
greatly the Bell Co.'S CONTROL of the
telephone field. He was quite wealthy.

THE SLEEP OF DEATH.
It Game to Mother Mckinley in
the Night.
The Long Vigil of Her Distinguished Son
Came to an End Shortly After 2 O'Clock
Sunday Morning The Arrange
ments for the Funeral.

Canton, O., Dec. 13-Mrs. Mckinley
passed from life at few minutes past
Q o'clock Sunday morning with all of
her children and other immediate rel
atives at her bedside. She did not suf-
fer any in her last hours, but gradually
passed from the deep sleep in which
she had rested almost constantly for
ten days into the sleep of death.
The end was beautiful in it's quiet
and peacefulness. Mrs Mckinley
seemed to sleep so soundly that it was
difficult to tell whether she had yet
breathed her last This condition con-
tinued for half an hour. There was no
struggle She seemed to sleep her life
away.
Funeral services over the remains Of
Mrs Mckinley will be held in the
First Methodist Episcopal church of
this city at / o'clock Tuesday after
noon. Interment will follow in West
Lawn cemetery, just west OF the city,
and Tuesday evening President Nc
Kinley and wife and the officials from
Washington who attend the funeral
will leave for the capital
Rev. Manchester, the pastor of the
church, will extend an invitation to
the ministers of all the churches, of
which there are about so, to occupy
the pulpit and participate in the serv-
ices.
Pall-bearers have been selected from
among the older members of the
church and those who for years have
been close neighbors of the deceased.
They are: Judge William R. Day, Hon,
William A. Lynch, ex-Mayor Cassidy,
L. L. Miller, w. w. Clark, Judge Nc
Carly, David collars and ex-Mayor
John f. Blake.
The First Methodist church is the
one in which Mother Mckinley wor-
shipped during her residence in Can
ton and in which she was found almost
every Sunday morning. Three weeks
ago yesterday she was in her pew as
usual, and though she was nearly SO
years of age her attendance had been
regular all the while. This is also the
congregation with which the president
has always been associated. 1t was in
this church that he was superintend.
ent of the Sunday-school 80 years ago
and here that he always attended
service when in Canton, usually going
with his mother. They last attended
together last September. The presi
dent is member of the board of trus.
tees of the church.
1t is coincidence that Mrs McKin-
ley died at almost the identical hour
of the day as did her husband on
Thanksgiving, five years ago
Mrs. Mckinley came of the race Of
hardy pioneers who laid the founda'
tion of the American republic. She
was Miss Nancy Campbell Allison and
was born at New Lisbon, O., in 1909
She was married to William Mckinley
ST., January 6, 1929, and was living ir
a two-story frame house, still standing
near Niles, O., when her distinguished
son was born, January 80, 1S4S. Mrs
Mckinley was frugal, Industrious
pious and proud of her son.

Cubans Hang Spaniards Who Come to
Them and Ask that the Autonomy
Scheme be Accepted.
Havana, Dec. 14-It is officially an
nounced that the Spanish forces under
the command of Gen. Pando in the
province of Puerto Principe, pursued
Gen. Maxine Gomez so closely that he
was obliged with about 200 men of his
escort to seek refuge in the woods and
mountains.
None of the commissioners sent by
Gen. Pando to different parts of the
island to negotiate with the insurgents
for their acceptance of the autono-
nous form of government proposed
by Spain have returned, which seems
to confirm the reports that some Of
them have been hanged by the insur-
gents and others have remained with
the enemy. 1t is reported that Juan
Delgado, the insurgent leader, hanged
the two commissioners sent to him
with peace propositions.
A dispatch from Madrid says that
the autonomic cabinet for Cuba will
not be formed until the reformists and
autonomists unite in one party.

, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Four French cruisers have been Or
dered to be sent to China.
A dispatch from Macedonia states
that Albanians are committing great
excesses at Debra, Kitchevo and the
surrounding districts, killing men, out
raging women and stealing cattle.
Wholesale prosecutions and arrests of
Bulgarians by Turks are also reported
from the bulgarian frontier.
dispatch from Dublin states that
the war office has sent an order to that
city for the sharpening of all sword
bayonets in the possession of the regu-
lar troops in Ireland. The order is
unprecedented and perfect mystery
to both officers and men.
Recent advices from India state that
the forces of Sir William Lockhart, the
British commander on the Indian
frontier, have been withdrawn to the
Bara valley for the winter. Thus the
largest force ever assem- bled in India
has failed and the whole work will
have to be repeated in the spring.
