The argument advanced agaicst
the wide tire bill by senator's from
Piedmont counties was that the
wide tire wheels would slip off the
hills and the wagons run into the
gulleys. The Anderson DAILY
Mail makes An effective answer to
that assertion in this paragraph:
"The broad tire bill recently
passed by the senate appears to us
to be long stride towards reach
ing the goal of good roads Ex
perience has demonstrated that
they pack rather that cut up the
roads. And in this connection it
is amusing to hear Intelligent men
like Col Watts, of Laurcns, and
others raising the objection
against broad tired wagons, that
that will slip off the hills in this
Piedmont country. TO hear men
talk that way carries one back to
the time when men raised all sorts
of frivolous objections to the in,
PRODUCTION OF steam roads, some
OF them saying that they would
frlghten the cows SO they would
not give milk. One of the most
progressive farmers in this coun-
tv, Mr. w q Hammond, has been
using broad tired wagons for some
years and his wagons have not
Slipped off the hills vet. The
idea is too ridiculous and tho obs
lection too frivolous. 1t is mat

Is one OF our native born sons and

PITCHED BATTLE IN TEXAS.
shertg Roberts and His Two Brothers

sherty Roberts and His Two Brothers
Fall at the First volley.
HOUSTON, June 5.-At San Augustine
q pitched battle between the Wall fac
ton on one side and the Brooks on the
other resulted in the death of Felix q.
Roberts, his brother, Sidney Roberts.
and the fatal wounding Of Noel Rob.
erts, sheriff of the county, and brother
to the dead men. The feud grew out of
politics and has been brewing for some
years. A few weeks ago Ned Wall, the
sheriff, was shot and killed by King
Borden at San Augustine. Borden fed,
but afterward surrendered and was ad-
mi tied to bail. Noel Roberts was ap.
pointed sheriff. Last Saturday Eugene
Wall, brother to the dead sheriff, shot
to death Ben Brooks, kinsman of Bor-
den. Yesterday the factions met when
the examining trial of Wall was to be
held and every man came to the court
house armed. Hostilities began with
the appearance Of Sheriff Roberts and
his brothers, who fell at the first volley
from score of guns A few scattering
shots Were returned by the Wall faction
lists, but did no execution.

Cut In westbound Freight Rates.

NEW YORK, June General eastern
freight agents of lines west of Chicago.
who have heretofore refused to accept
business atscut rates went through the
wholesale district yesterday and solio-
tied business of every kind at the low
est rates they could make to suit the
shippers without regard to ahe present
agreement. The offers of these agents
constitute the first open violation of the
presidents agreement in this city.
While there has been talk in Chicago
about the Generalization of westbound
rates, there has been no evidence in
this city Of cut rates being offered until
yesterday When it became known
that some of the western lines had Of
fered to take business at reduced rates,
the result was all the other lines took
the same step, and the complete de-
moralization of rates on westbound
business originating in eastern terri
tory is an assured fact. Some rates are
said to have been offered which are
little better than free transportation.

nIeager Returns Indicate Republicans
Have Elected Their Ticket.
PORTLAND, Or, June 5.--Meager re-
turns from the election indicate that
the Republicans have carried the state
by from 5000 to 5000 plurality. 1t is
estimated that @. E. Wolyerton (Rep.)
for justice of the. supreme court will
have plurality of 5000.
In the Second congressional district
the plurality for Moody (Rep.) is esti-
mated at from 5000 to 1000. From the
First congressional district, which has
always been close, no returns have been
received except from one county, and
Tongue (Rep.) was runni ng ahead Of
his ticket. According to the returns
the fusionists have gainedIu the legis.
iature, but returns are M6 1nsager to
permit of an estimate at this hour,
though the Republicans claim they will
control both houses.

State Convention Meets Today-Chicago
Platform In High Favor.
New YORK, June 5.-If the proceed
ings Of the state convention today are
as harmoniously conducted as was the
meeting of the state committee last
night. the program laid out by the
leaders will slide off very easily. The
committee was in session but a few
minutes. Ex-senator David B. Hill
moved that John T. Norton of Troy, be
named as temporary chairman of the
convention, and it was so decided with
out dissenting voice. Secretaries
were chosen, the roll of delegates was
adopted, the committee adjourned. It
is reported that the platform will be
as radical as the most ardent admirer Of
w. j. Bryan can wish. The Chicago
platform will be nearly or wholly in.
dorsed. Attention may be called to the
fact that bill drawn by the Democrats
and aimed at the trusts has been on the
statute books for two years and has not
been enforced by Republican admin
lstration. The delegates -at-large to be
selected will be ex-Senators Murphy
and Hill, Richard Croker and A. Van
Wyck. Van Wyck's name was handled
in conversation about the corridors in
an unfavorable manner, his alleged
connection with the ice trust being
brought forth as an argument against

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Congress is in

expiration apparently is to be quite per-

hours yesterday, nearly four hours of

The features Of the day session were
the speech of Teller on the Philippine

obtain consideration of the antitrust
bill passed by the house last Saturday.
Last night a picturesque session was
held-a sort of social session-at which
many of the members appeared in full
dress and the galleries were thronged
with gaily attired crowds of spectators.
Pettigrew replied at length to the speech
Of Spooner on the Philippines, but did

ROBBERS RAID IOWA TOWN.

Citizens of Sheldahl Held at Bay While
Four Men Loot the Bank.
DEs MONIES, June 2.-The Savings
bank at Sheldahl, 20 miles north Of
here, was blown up by four robbers last
night, who secured $1,000 and escaped
after holding so or more citizens at bay
with rifles.
Shortly after midnight terrific ex-
plosion shook the town and imnedi-
ately the inhabitants turned out to
learn the cause. A glance up the main
street showed the building of the saw
ings bank to be in ruins and the tim.
bers burning. Fifty citizens rushed to
the scene to be met by the cleaning
barrels of two rifles in the hands of two
strangers who ordered the citizens to
halt AS the ruins burned brighter
two other strangers were deserted loot
ing the wrecked safe. The crowd Of
citizens had brought no weapons. The
two robbers on guard threatened death
to the man who moved from his tracks
and the helpless denizens of Sheldahl
We're compelled to witness the robbery
of their savings without lifting hand
in remonstrance.
When the two robbers who were loot
ing the safe had secured all the money
available they joined their two confed-
crates and with leveled rifles the four
marauders lined up the band of citizens
who stood with hands held high as or
dered until the four robbers backed
away into the darkness and fled. The
bank building is a total wreck. The
loss is estimated at s. 5000 and added to
this the $1,000 secured by the robbers.
No trace of the robbers has been dis.
covered.
