Lancaster, N. H., August 27.-Consid-
cradle of at sensation was caused in this
vicinity today when it was learned two
helpless inmates of the. county poor house
had been shipped to Canada to be left
there without means of further assis-
tance, had been returned to that institu-
ton by the Canadian authorities. 1t is
claimed that this disclosure reveals a
practice that has been continued for a
long time and that many inmates of the
place who have disappeared mysteriously
during recent years have thus been sent
away and all trace of them lost 1t is
understood that the Canadian authorities
are greatly agitated over the affair and
that trouble is likely to result.

DENOUlsCEs YUKON LAWS.

DENOUllCES YUKON LAWS.
Views of an Alb erta Lawmaker on Canada's
Min ing Regulations.
Ottowa, Aug. 26.-Mr. I. Fraser Tins
of Alberta a m ember of the Legislative
Assembly, has written to the Montreal
press denounci ng the Government S
Yukon mining regulations. He says
these laws are exciting the the utmost
indignation Throughout the, West, and if
the miners do n OF resist then he knows
nothing of,them,, though he fias been
among them for the past fifteen years.
Canada's mineral wealth, he says, is just
on the threshold of discovery, butt Can
adian statesmen Gem to possess no knowl-
edge of how mi ming laws should be
framed. He advises them to be guided
by the experience of other countries,
such as the United States, Australia,
Africa, OF British Columbia; which
have excellent miI1ng laws. He re.
minds the Government that it was
through no enterprise of its own that
these gold discoveries on the Yukon
were made, but was simply owing to the
hardihood and daring of prospectors and
miners, and now the Government should
not come in and act the part of a high
way robber and levy an exhorbitant roy
atty upon the results of patient industry
and toll often taken lit the risk of life.
He denounced The reservation of alter
nate claims by the Crown and says the
people of the West knew what curse
the reserving of alternate sections OF
! land had proved to them, and the iniqui-
| ty was ten times worse in mining affairs.
'sThe Dominion Cabinet is doing some
thing which can have no other ending
but cry for annexation of that portion

New York, August 27.-New York
jumped into third place in the pennant
race this afternoon by winning the first
game of double header from Anson's
Colts and clinohed the position later by
taking the second game from Anson's
men. The Chicago players were never in
it with Joyce's ball tossers. In the first
game they hit Meekin at times, but
with the exception Of the first, fourth and
sixth innings the hits counted for moth
ing more than pass to first base, 4 The
Giants hits off Friend with the assistance
of bases on balls and errors, they wen out.
In the second game Sullivan was

off the big twirler. The feature of the
game was the snappy playing of New

Readville, Mass, August 27.-A large
crowd of spectators saw good racing
programme at Readville park today, the
star attraction for many being the at
tempt of Joe Patchen (2.0l 12), to beat

Owing to the brisk wind that swept up
the stretch the trial was delayed till

broken, but the time made was very fast,
the quarter being passed in 81, half in

The two races left over from yesterday
were quickly wound up, the 2.16 trot in

A Very Fast Runner.

NJ. A. Carey, justice of the peace, is
one of the fastest political runners in
the city. Two years ago he distsnced
his nearest competitor by over 1000
votes. and outstripped his running nate
j. f. Smith, by 400 votes. Mr.. Smeth is
candidate for denomination, also, but
his small vote shows that he has not
anything like the popularity OF Mr..
Carey, and therefore it would be folly to
nominate him instead. Justice Carey is
a man of sound judgment and acknowl-
edged legal lore, and being an impartial
judge he has the endorsement OF the bar
Isolidly for denomination and re- rejection
All the lawyers are loud in their praise
Of his adaptability for the place and, re-
gardlsss Of politics they will turn in and
render able assistance toward his cleo
|tion. AS a public official and private
citizen not word of reproach can be
said against him, and he carries the re-
spect and good will of all. NJ. A. Carey
is the man for justice.

MADE A SPLENDID RECORD

j. H. Kirkland has made splendid
record as county assessor, and one that
he may we'll be proud Of. Young, capa-
BILE and ambitious he has put forth all
his energy to make reputation for
himself, and that he has succeeded is

model OF system and accuracy, conduct
ed on an economical plan, no Partially

ing alike their fair share of assessment.
His plan of assessing property upon a
basis by which more money is turned
into the county treasury and less into
the state treasury meets with the un-

john II. Dimes is a hustler and is
everywhere meeting with the greatest
encouragement in his aspirations to Sc
cure the nomination for assessor.
The democrats seemed to have turned
the convention into q burlesque affair
when it named little Z. Jug Cummings
for Justice Of the peace. Oh Lord!
The populists adjourned their conven-
tion to the "a inst. Fusion with the
democrats is now very doubtful, and the
mddle-o of the-roadsters are happy.
Superintendent Of Schools Bowman is
not candidate for reelection, and will
throw his support to Z. G. Cash. There
is some talk Of nominating woman for
the place, Mrs. Shepherd being most
talked of.
Dan Hartnett again gave evidence at
the primaries Monday last that he is an
exceptionally fine hustler in politics.
His set of delegates were elected by
good majority in precinct 81 in spite Of a
strong combination to down them.

it is ticket that is very shaky in the

him the nominee OF the convention next

should bear in mind.

horse of the party, and a man who has
done much for the party's good among
his people in Pueblo, is out for the NOM
ination Of constable before the republi-

Has Gained Strength Rapidly.

Last week the INDICATOR had some
thing to say about the candidacy Of j.
II. Clmss for assessor and discovers now,
as predicted, he is gaining strength rap
idly and cannot possibly be headed off
from getting the nomination next Tues
day. All the public wished to know was
that he meant business and it stood
ready to assist him. Finding that he
did mean business his candidacy became
very popular and is the talk of the city.
Mr.. Dimes is an industrious and eaer-
getic young man, which, added to his
ability and unquestioned integrity makes
him a most available man for the i'm
portant office Of county assessor. AL
ways consistent republican and never
before seeking office, he has won the es-
tsen Of his party and will be rewarded
with a nomination on next Tuesday
The good OF the party demands his nom
ination and no mistake will be made in
giving it to him.

Has Won tho plaudi.s of the People.

G. w. Collins has won the plaudits Of
the people many time in a political
campaign which must have been very
hattering TO him, but there was little
qualification in it as compared to the
plaudits and Communications Of the pub
lie for the able and fearless manner in
which he discharged his duties as pros
scouting attorney. Judge Collins has
now been district attorney three years
and, as politics 20, having given satisfac-
tion as public official his party will
follow the rule and give him a renomi-
nation. His opposition in the conven-
vention will bs very weak and possibly
will vanish altogether by the time the
delegates get down TO business.
Judge Collins has always boon fair to
all but terror to evil dosrs. He goes
at them with directness that has ita

deserts.
He has bssn wonderfully successful in
all he undertook. He won 95 per cent

and his friends claim it was accom-

the committee on vacancies will have a

and that counts for whole lot in cam
paign as well as in convention, for il a
man can get the unanimous support OF
his constituency for a nomination he can
bring their influence to bear on the re-
suit of the election.
There is no question but that Mr.. Rees
would get the support of many demo-
Gratis as he has made hosts of friends
among them as well as among men of his
own political faith. One thing certain,
he has never let politics influence his ac-
tions as an official, and impartiality and
fairness has ever characterized them.
He has stood by what no considered
right and proper, and no consideration OF
wealth or position has ever moved him
from the straight path Of duty. Such a

1t is conceded on all sides that genial
Ward Rice will have no opposition in the
republican convention and that his
nomination for county treasurer will be
unanimous. Two years ago he ran away
ahead Of his ticket and added strength
to it all along the limo. His popularity
since then has been increased because OF
the splendid manner in which he has
conducted the affairs OF his office. There
fore he might be termed the Keystone
candidate ~ upon him more than any
other nominee will the success of the

SHERIFF MARTIN Of Hazleton, Pa,
made dreadful blunder in ordering his
deputies to fire upon 4 marching con-
tingent of miners, whereby a score OF
men were killed and twice that number
wounded. Tho miners were unarmsd,
and committed no greater crime than to
advance along tho public highway when
commanded to stop. Had they been
mobbing other miners, stoning the depu-
ties or wrecking property, the sheriff
could have found justification for his
act, but under the circumstances he
made terrible mistake and deserves
the sevsrest condemnation.
