Young Dockman, the bag puncher of the
Turkish aggregation performing at the
Columbia gardens, is going after the
manager of the concern, Jean DE Kreko,
in real earnest. Young Dockman claims
the members of the company all went in
together on the commonwealth plan when
the troupe was organized, each putting in
a like amount to start on and each was to
receive an equal share of the earnings,
the divvy to be made every two weeks.
DOckman claims Manager De Kreko has
all the proceeds of the Butte engagement
and refuses to give up his share, which is

money. On the strength of an affidavit 10

The hearing of Pasquali GuidOni,
charged with receiving stolen property,
knowing it to have been stolen, was
resumed before Justice Harrington yes

testimony and two other witnesses had
been examined.
Guidoni continued his testimony
through the medium of an interpreter,

gust Stephini testified in effect that
they had frequently been present when
Guidoni purchased ores, etc, and he al
ways asked if the property had been
stolen An adjournment was taken to

Visitors to Crystal Springs are treat
ed to a very novel sight these days. A
new well is being sunk to obtain a
greater supply of water and the pro-
cess is a very interesting one. The
method is the same as is employed in
sinking oil wells in the Pennsylvania
oil fields, the old walking beam engine
being in operation daily. To see the
machinery working is well worth a
trip to the springs.

favorable business conditions prevailed in

failures relate to poor management, in

Be Fair and Keep Your Temper.

There are too many charges of contem-
plated fraud in today's election. AS The
Age-Herald understands it, there are to
be three managers and two clerks at each
polling place. Each candidate for mayor
was permitted to select at least one man.
ager and one clerk
Such selections should prevent fraud on
either side, If any should be contemplated.
However, The Age-Herald cannot believe
that in family contest between demo-
Gratis any one would resort to fraudulent
methods.
The talk of having extra outside boxes
as a check upon the regular polling places
can only lead to unpeasantness and dis
agreements. With honest men as managers
and clerks at all the boxes, each candl-
date being represented, there should be no
opportunity for fraud and can be none

In Charge of Republican Party.

The issue has been formulated. The dem
ocrats in convention assembled resolved
that constitutional conventions be held;
the republicans through their state execu-
tive committee declare that a constitu-
tional convention is unwise and unneces-
sary." The issue could not have been pre-
scented in palmer or better words. 1t is
are pledged to the support of the conven-
ton, and the republicans who are pledged
TO a defeat of it.
The republicans not only propose to COM
bat the holding of a constitutional conven-
ton, but they propose to organize a cam.
paign on coalition lines. Each county COM
mittee is authorized to use it's best judg-
ment In organizing the campaign in its
county against the convention proposition,
and the state executive committee of the
republican party invites ''all men opposed
to a convention, regardless of party, to
unite in lighting the measure" A cam
paign committee of nine. one from each
congressional committee, is to be appointed,
and the understanding Is that tickets OPP
posed to a convention will be put out, re-

Stop This War of determination.

The war in the Philippine islands has
gone far enough The Filipino army, or
what remains of it, has been driven back
into the hills and mountains Most of this
army has been moved down by the Ameri-
can troops. 1t was well enough to teach
these Orientals, under the leadership of
Aguinaldo, lesson, but this war of ex-
termination has gone far enough. Even
the partially intelligent among them now
realize that the Americans are in possess
sion. 1t is time to cease slaughtering them,
and to call them in and inform them that
they may form government of their own
under the protectorate of the United
States. There are men of ability among
them, and these men, under our guidance
and protection, can form government and
maintain it.
AS it is now we are moving down these
people who think they are fighting for their
liberty, and causing thousands of the wo-
men and children and old men to die of
starvation. This war has gone far enough.
IL udS SOtlSul W tlc punt OIL d SlduSnter.
1t is as bad as was the situation in Cuba
when our government interferred for hui
name reasons. The Filipinos occupy po-
sition similar to that which the cubans oc-
cupied in Cuba when our army and navy
interferred. and the United States, In the
Philippines, is as Spain was In Cuba We
are permitting the non-combatants to
starve as the Spanards did the reconcen-
trados. 1t is an outrage upon humanity.
The time to stop this brutal war of con-
quest and determination has arrived.
President Mckinley should call our troops
OFF and inform these people that they shall
have their liberty and their own form of
government. Else he will be held RESPONSE
BILE for this wholesale slaughter of human
life.

A FAMILY OF SHOOTERS

From the London Chronicle.
A week ago there was set up in the ceme-
terry at Debrecsin, in Eastern Hungary, a
tombstone which might well have served
as a record of the house of Aureus. We
give the inscription in English:
Here rest in the Lord
Joseph Moritz, Sen, who died in his
Sixty-second year. He was shot by his son.
Frau Joseph Moritz Sem, who died in her
Forty-seventh year. She was shot by
Her Daughter.
Elizabeth Moritz, who died by her own
Hand in her seventeenth year. after shoot
ing
Her Mother.
Joseph Moritz, who died in prison, aged
Twenty-seven. He had shot his father.
May Eternal Mercy have pity on their poor
Sinful Souls.
This strange memorial has been erected
by local literary association, to which the
last of the Moritz family left about 915O0
for this purpose.

From the Baltimore Sun.
In many of the western states farming
communities have the benefit of cheap tele-
phone communication. In Geauga county,
o., number of farmers have organized for
themselves a local telephone exchange,
which is said to be most successful The
community is not thickly settled and there
are no towns and but one or two villages
The cost of constructing the line in first
class fashion was fifty dollars a mile for
single telephone wire, and telephones were
rented at $12 year, and this rate, includ-
ing as it did the maintenan of the instru-
ments in repair, was found to be sufficient.
The telephone in the farmhouse shortly be-
came a necessity and not a luxury. The
people could inquire whether there were
letters at the postoffice before sending for
them. The condition of the markets can
be ascertained and orders received and
given. The family doctor can be summoned
and the lady in one house can discuss the
trimmings for the Easter bonnet with her
neighbor mile or two away. If the roads
are bad the young man can call up his
hearts choice and make lover over the
wires with the greatest comfort and de-
corum. Many of the disadvantages and
objections to country life are thus removed,
and the wonder is that there is not a tee-
phone exchange in every rural community.

The Convention and the Party.

In all parts of the state from Huntsville
to Mobile democrats and democratic papers
consider themselves pledged to support of
the convention proposition by and though
the action of the recent state convention.
When 1t resolved by vote of two to one
that sit is the sense of this convention that
constitutional convention be held" it, as
body representing the democracy of the
entire state, presented the position that all
democrats are in common honor and COM
mon practice bound to take, uphold, main
tain, advocate and vote for. I'VE favor"
says the formal platform adopted, 1.-The
holding of a constitutional convention for
the purpose regulating the right to
VOTE" and for other purposes named How
can party be farther pledged or commit
ted than the democratic party of Alabama
is to the holding of constitutional con-
yention? The English language does not
admit of palmer terms than the democratic
state platform contains in relation to the
pledge of the party to the support of the
convention proposition.
And the action of the convention Is so
regarded in every part of the state, and by
every democratic paper, save one-the
Montgomery Journal. The organ of the
state administration is tangled out of tune.
Ii strangely and wildly declares that the
democratic party has not made the sup
port of convention a party matter. If
the convention did not do so, then the Eng
fish language is meaningless, and English
words of common acceptance have lost
-..s..eir value.
However, no one else in the state
misunderstands the vernacular THE
convention says the Mobile Reg
lister, has declared in decisive tones
that the party in Alabama wants
a vote in the holding of consf&d-
tional convention, and wants new consti-
tutio for the state; and that the privates
as well as the generals must line up and
work for this great and much needed re-
form" The Register, it will be seen pre-
serves It's knowledge of the mother tongue,
something that the Journal seems to have
completely lost.

T0day's Primary Election.

Democrats should remember today that
this contest for mayor, aldermen and po-
lice commissioners is a family affair 1t is
a contest within party lines, and every
democrat should be that conservative in
his talk and acts as to leave him free with
his own conscience and self-respect to sup
port the nominee of today's primary as
against any independent.
The issues in the mayoralty contest are
mainly personal friendships. They are
largely SO in the aldermanfc contests. In
the police commission race every good citi-
zen should vote for those who will give tho
city the best police protection.

Tac CLARK FAMILY DIVIDED

New York Telegram to the Chicago Tri-
bune.
Senator-elect William A. Clark, of Mon
tana, fifty times a millionaire, is withal a
prudent man. This characteristic of the
money king, who is building a nineteenth
century palace in Fifth avenue, is illus
trated in the method he adopts of crossing
the Atlantic with his family.
For the protection Of his princely fortune
and the prevention of legal entanglements,
to insure the succession properly of his
millions, and to guard against the possible
loss by shipwreck of more than one mem
Der Of the family, the senator decided that
only one Clark should cross on the same
vessel.
Four members of the family of the Mon
tana man have set sail for Europe within
the month. Every one travelled on a differ
ent ship. This avoidance of the risk of an
entire family perishng at the same time
is also said to be observed by the Roths-
childs, while the late Jesse Seligman and
his brother, the bankers of this city, never
rode together on the same elevated train. Z
The record of sailing shows that Miss
K. Clark, the millionaires daughter, with
her maid had the captains room on the
North German-Lloyd liner, Travs, which
sailed from New York for Southampton
and Bremen on March I. C. w. Clark, the
senator's son, and his wife sailed on the
st. Paul March Is. The senator himself
sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
for Southampton and Bremen on March II.
Mrs. Culver, another daughter of the boz
nanza king, it appears by the sailing lists,
left on the German-Lloyd steamer Aller for
Genoa on March 20.
