The Octopodological Conference.

Governor SAVERS of Texas Is beating the
drum stoutly and inviting the world to
look ut his great plan for an Antitrust
Conference of Governors and Attorney
Generals at st. Louis Sept 20 The Gov
ernor IL especially eager or says he Is, to
have the Northern and Eastern Governors
and acknowledgements join in the confc--
encr. At the same time Democratic pm
pers are boasting in advance that the con-
ference is to be purely Democratic meet
Ing, and that II is part of the great Demo-
cratic movement against Trusts. If the
Republican Governors and Attorney-Gen-
erals go, they will dsappoint the Demo
Gratis, who will not cease to assert, how
ever that the only real. true and genuine
opposition to Trusts is Democratic and
that all others are limitations.
Tho CONSERVATION OF the Democrats to
find that they have not the exclusive right
and privilege OF hunting the Octopus is
fully as ludicrOus as the hunt itself They
are hard up for issues, the Chicago Job lot
being, in spite Of the enthusiasm with
which it Is advertised decidedly thrcadbarc
and shopworn. Sothc Democratic hawkors
have begun to bawl receipts TO kill Trusts.
and are deeply panied to find that the R"pub-
lican shops keep the same valuable articles.
We are tho only original. genuine, anti
Trust concern" yell the Democrats "dont
patronize the shop over the why" Even in
the height OF their fury against monopoly,
the Democrats are trying to obtain mo-
nopoly Of tho antitrust Issue. They can't
get It, for the competition on the part of
the Republicans, Populists, Prohtbitionists,
Standardization men, National Rcformcrs
and other parties is too keen. The anti
Trust issue is as free, ls not so solid, as
the air
II Is said that Governor SAVERS longs par
ticularly for the presence of the Governor Of
New Jersey at the conference New Jersey,

Where is the Cycle Pathe

The bicycle riders of this city and
especially those living up the Newport
Pike, are wondering what has become
Of the movement to establish bicycle
path between here and Reno. Some of
the farmers up the pike made good
their proposition to do some work
with teams and what they did was well
done, resulting in short piece of
roomy and smooth path over which It
Is a positive pleasure to ride.
Some of the hedge has been cut
down along another section which al
lows the path to dry much more quick
ly after a rain than heretofore, thus
allowing 1t to be used more.
These Things arc small beginnings,
but they are appreciated by those who
ride the steel steed for either business
or pleasure the only trouble being
they are limited to short space.
This matter of wheel paths is being
greatly agitated all about the country
and why not carry out the good inten-
tions so ausplciously begun. A little
more agitation will result, we believe
in the establishment of good path
permitting riders to get to Reno even
when the pike Is quite muddy

Brothers in Discord.

Albert Miller and his brother, Willis,
who live on adjoining farms near
Marcn Run Hill, have been feeling
very bitter for some time over a right
of way on the farm of Willis which
Albert claims he has the right to go
across to get to his farm. Willis dis
putes this; and the use of it by Albert
and mis- family has so provoked him
that on Saturday morning as Albert
was going across on this right of way,
Willis shot at him several times from
a window in his house. and the shots
took effect in ,2e arm, though not with
serious results.
Word was sent to this city at once
and Shern McCallister and Marshal
Dye went up to Rainbow and took
Willis N custody. He is now in the
county Jail for safe keeping.
