The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1899-04-20

Wherever few long headed republic
cans gather just now, the subject Of
how the party can get the idea that it
is too favorable to trusts out Of the
heads of the voters, is apt to come up
for discussion. At a gathering of sew
eral republican senators, in Washing
ton, this week, one of them said:
81 must confess that I do not con-
slider the political outlook over bright
for the republican party. The spring
elections were not encouraging. The
Toledo election I regard as most sig
nifcant. Sam Jones the independent
candidate for mayor, got almost as
many votes as hisrepublican and demo
cratic opponents combined. What does
it mean? l believe it is condemna-
ton of trusts and monopolies. The re-
publican party is in very perilous po-
sition. 1t has apparently been cap
tured by the trust barons and monopo-
lists. Unless we can shake them off,
believe it will be next to impossible to
elect Mckinley, or any one, on the re-
publican presidential ticket next year.
Another republican Senator present
said:
"The sentiment against trusts is GER
tainly very strong throughout thu
West, and I agree with you that We
must do something radical in order Il
disabuse the impression in the publ,
mind that the republican party is
party Of trusts. It will not be an cas-!
thing to do, however. Even if we Pu
in a strong antitrust plank in our plat
form next year, the fact that the cam
paign will be in the hands of Mari
Hanna and other trust msgnates, viii
render our declaration against trusts
almost farcical."

A midnight conference was held to
consider the specter of Sam Jonesism,
which is badly frightening Ohio repub-
licans. The conference was partici-
pated in by Boss Hanna, Mr.. McKin-
ley, and several other republicans of
prominence who went from Ohio to
Washington for the purpose. They be-
lieve that Sam Jones intends to run as
an independent candidate for governor
of Ohio, and that he stands good
chance of getting enough votes to
throw the state to the democrats, if he
doesn't get elected himself. They re-
alize that the loss of Mr.. McKinley's
own state this year, would start boom
for "Teddy" Roosevelt that might
knock Mr.. Mckinley out of renomi-
nation next year. They don't know
just what to do about it. A proposition
was made that Sam Jones be given the
regular republican nomination for
governor, but it did not find much ia.
vor, because it was stated that he could
not be- controlled by the machine. Tt
was also proposed that an attempt be
made to ascertain whether Sam Jones
could be bought off with big appoint
ment in the diplomatic service. All
agreed that something had to be done
to head off Sam Jonesism in Ohio, and
all promised to put their wits to work.

Fast Dyes For Cotton.
Brilliant and Unfading Colors
Made by Diamond Dyes.
A Ten-Cent investment Of
ten Saves Dollars.

Professional dyers always use differ
ent dyes for cotton than for wool, as
cotton is vegetable fibre, while wool
comes from an animal. In Diamond
Dyes there are some fifteen fast cotton
colors that are prepared especially for
cotton and mixed goods, These dyes
give colors that even washing in strong
soapsuds or exposure to the sunlight
will not fade.
See that you get Diamond Dyes, and
take nothing else.

the representatives of the citizens of the
district when they called to consult with
him regarding the arrangements for the
reception to Admiral Dewey upon his ar
rival in Washington. When the chief ex-
executive of the nation views the city on
the night of Dewey day he will find that
his injunction has been carried out most
faithfully. Admiral Dewey will be es-
corted to the capitol by a committee on
the day the nations sword is to be pre-
selited to him. That night there will be a
monster parade. Every organization in
the District of Columbia will be invited to
participate in the procession. Every mill
tary body, all the civic. fraternal, patri-
otto social and benevolent societies and
the bicycle clubs will be included. An
energetic effort will be made to have each
body in line make some distinctive il
Illumination on its own account. There
will be elaborate Examinations along the
line of march.

went to the third auditors office and, ac-

DROPPED DEAD At WORK
Death Came Very Suddenly to
William Davis.
HE WAS A BLACKSMITH
Had Just Begun His Afternoon I,abors
When the Summons Came to
Him-An Inquest VIII
Be Held.

William Davis, 60 years Of age, en-
shop, dropped dead while at work
shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Davis leaves wife. He had
been in Butte less than two years. At
the usual hour yesterday Davis went to
work, but he complained of feeling bad
ly. His wife noticed that he was not
in his usual bouyant spirits, and this
fact was also noted by his companions
at the blacksmith shop. Shortly be-
fore the lunch hour he went to Harry
Maxwell's house, near the corral, to
see Mr.. Maxwell, also an employe of the
city, about some matters connected
with the work. Mr.. Maxwell noticed
that Davis was looking badly and sur
missed that something was wrong. Davis
was putting up new forge in the new
building. He had only begun his work
after dinner when John Funk, an EN-
ploye, saw him fall backwards. He ran
10 MS assistance, but the man was
breathing his last. He gasped once or
twice and died. Mr.. Funk notified
other employees, and in turn sent word
10 street Commissioner Cotter and
Coroner Phil Julien, both of whom re-
sponded promptly.
Mrs. Davis, who lives at the family
residence in Virginia street, the west
ern extension of Woolman, was notified
and the lady was greatly shocked by
the news, although her surprise was
lessened to degree by the fact of her
husbands evident illness during the
morning hours. She has no children to
console her, but she has some brothers
in the city.
Mr.. Davis came to Butte less than
two years ago from Virginia City,
New, where he was favorably known
by large circle of friends. He was
member of the Knights Of Pythias, and
his membership was recently trans
ferred from Virginia City to Butte. He
was a model husband and an agreeable
companion, of temperate habits, and
well liked by everyone who knew him.
Before going to work in the city black
smith shop last April, Mr.. Davis had
worked for Becker and other black
smiths in this city.
An inquest will be held this evening
at 7:3O o'clock at Sherman's, where the
body lies.

known for some time that Dickerson,
who drove Patchen to his record, and
who has Senator McCarthy's horses in

about through his influence.

being at Cleveland, where he finished
an indifferent fourth to Searchlight.
But he has some time yet in which to
be put on edge, and if he does get good
he will be a very hard horse to beat
That his trainer, George West, has en-
tire confidence in him is shown by the
fact that he promptly put up his share
of the stake money, as did c. R. Bent
ley, manager of Ananias. In addition
to this event, the Dubuque association
is out with an offer of $4,000 for a race
between the free-for-all monarchs, but
this will hardly fill, as John r. Gentry
Joe Patchen and Searchlight are to
meet by late arrangement for a $4,000
purse at Rochester on August Is.
Although John r. Gentry has paced
an exhibition mile in 2:02a4 this season,
his owner steadily refuses to start him
him in a race with the fast ones of the
country. Repeated efforts have been
made to bring about a meeting offStar
Pointer Joe Patchen, Gentry, Search
light, and possibly, Hal b., but the
Gentry people want none of it, although
the other owners are said to be willing
and ready. Patchen and Gentry will
meet at Goshen, but aside from this
event, the latter horse will be seen only
in exhibitions. A race between the
horses named above would be worth
going miles to see, and the association
that eventually brings them together
will be a winner.

Weekly Settlements.

New York. Aug. 1O.-The retail meat
dealers of New York who purchase their
stock from packers have been served with
a notice that hereafter they will have to
make weekly statements of their accounts.
The wholesalers who have sent out the
notices are Armour & Co., Swift q Co.,
Schwarzschid & Sulzberger, Nelson Nor
rs & Co. and the G. H. Hammond COM
pany. This action puts the retail business
practically on a cash basis. The retailers
believe that this is an attempt on the
part of the big packers to drive the re-
tailers out of business so that the trust
can operate depots of its own. The retail
ers say they will establish slaughter
houses of their own.

A Remarkably Cheap Rate to

The cheapest excursion rate ever

rate is $40 for the round trip, which IN
cludes every necessary item of expense
except the price of breakfast at Living

morrow evening and about 80 reserva-
tons for the trip have already been
made. The tour will consume seven

A committee of Boise business men
had a conference with the Short Line
officials at Salt Lake few days ago
and received assurance that Boise
would be put on the main line of the
road, provided the people of that city
carried out certain promises regarding
a bonus. At present Boise is situated
some 20 odd miles from the main line
of the Oregon Short Line and connect
ed thereto by a spur from Nampa.

compared with that of other towns of
much less importance, Is ludicrouS, says
the Salt Lake Herald. The railroad
doubles on its tracks: first going north
east into Boise and then back over the
same route southwest to Nampa.
The Oregon Short Line has had a
number of surveying parties locating
possible routes from different points on
the main line north to the city. The
most feasible route seems to be the
project to leave the main line at Owy-
hee, on through Boise, and then over
the old tracks to Nampa.
The % miles between Owyhee and
Nampa now traversed by the railroad
company is little short of a dreary

does the maximum grade exceed that

everything into consideration, the pro-
