MExICO'S GRAND OLD MAN.

FFrom Chicago Tribune.l
Not since the times of Bolivar and
Juarez have the Latin races produced 50
rare a combination of craftsmanship
and executive ability as is found in the
present chief executive of the Mexican
Republic Porfirio Diaz. by his ability
has succeeded in placing Mexico far in
advance of the other republics which
share our hemisphere with Uncle Sam s
dominions; he has served his country
with signal gallantry and success for
many terms, and on December 1 next
win enter upon another term Of four
years.
The Mexicans can boast Of national
music of very high order, the rhythms
are very characteristic, original and in
teresting, and their bands occupy the
front rank in that species of entertain
ment. 1t is therefore interesting to note
that a genuine Chicago product is a re-
cent acquisition to the home of the E,x-
ecutive of our sister republic. By spec
ial order Of President Diaz his music
room is graced and completed by the in
stallatiOn of a Kimball grand piano, as
is also the Blue Room of the White
House at Washington.

At Boonesborough, the next stop, three
or four hundred people had gathered to

Gov. Roosevelt Begins Canvass
of Blue Grass Country.

Henderson, Ky, Oct. 13.-Governor
Roosevelt began his campaign in Ken
lucky at 8 o'clock, making an address at
this place. There was a large crowd at
the depot to greet the governor, who
was escorted from the train by promi-
nent Kentucky politicians. Governor
Roosevelt said in part;
In this campaign feel that I have a.
right to appeal to you on more than one
issue. I believe emphatically in sound
currency, expansion, and in the honoring
Of the flag, and most of all, in orderly
liberty under the law, which lies at the
foundation of our institutions. be-
lieve emphatically in a square deal for
every man, and that he be allowed to
have his vote counted as it was cast
believe it in New York and believe 1t
in Kentucky. "a voice: so do we.')
And 1 believe this less a party con-
test than a crusade for freedom. 1
have stood on the platform with north
ern men and southern men; with men
who have worn the blue and men who
have worn the gray, and all agree that
liberty stands as the basis Of American
citizenship. If the people are wise they
will pursue the course which has
brought material prosperity; but greater
than material prosperity is freedom.

For the Police.

Marie Hicks was arrested last night
for disOrderly conduct and will have
hearing this afternoon. Marie is II years
old and good looking. but she is in cor
rigible She has served a term in the
industrial school for girls at Beloit and
was discharged from there several
months ago. She refuses to live with
her parents who reside on Locust street
and insists on aSSOciaung with ulSrep-
utable characters.
When arrested last night she told the
police that she would kill herself before
she would return to Beloit. Threatening
to kill herself has been Marie's long suit.
She has been under Mrs. Thorpe's care
several times because she has loaded her
system with laudanum and last night
she took a teaspOOnful diluted Mrs.
Thorpe thinks that she takes the laud-
anum as a bluff and that she has never
taken a sufficient quantity to do any
damage. Her parents are anxious to
have her stay at home and it was at
their solicitation that the police arrested
the girl. She prefers to choose her own
associates and does not seem to care how
deprayed they are.

WON'T TAKE THE MONEY.
Chicago Gas Trust Declines to Take
Pay at 40 Cents.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-The Tribune says:
1t is rumored during the past "A hours
that steps toward a settlement of the
gas rate war on the North side had been
taken by the Peoples Gaslight and Coke
company and the Ogden company. This
rumor gained credence in many quarters,
but was denied on good authority
Efforts made by over 200 patrons of the
Peoples company to compel that COM
pany under temporary injunctions
granted by the circuit court to accept
20 cents in payment for every 1000 feet
of gas used, have been met by the re-
fusal of the company to receive the
money. The payments were offered on
September bills on which the company
had charged the 81 rate. The company
charge in each case had been reduced
so per cent. and the bills were presented
in a batch by counsel for the complain
ing consumers.
The company refused to accept the
money offered with the statement that
the injunctions would be fought in the
courts and that until the result of such
action the bills against the complaining
consumers would be held against them
as debts.
c. K. G. Billings, president Of the Peo-
pies company. made an announcement
defending the 81 rate.

FIGHT IT OUT.
Three Cornered Legislative
Contest In Haskell and Gray.
Democrats Nominate a Republic

Postmaster General Smith to
Make Speeches.
EUGENE DEBS HERE.

In the representative district compos-
ed of Haskell and Gray couuties there
is a three -cornered political fight which
has mixed the various factions into
strange conglomeration. Democrats are
supporting a Republican and the Popu-
lists are supporting a Democrat, while a
straightout Republican is running on
the other ticket.
TheRepublicans nominated Steve Cave
John Harper who was in the last ses-
sion being defeated for denomination be-
cause he wanted to be reelected as a
supporter of Lucien Baker for re-elec-
tion as senator.
Owing to the local situation the Re
pubhcans deemed it wise to select an
unpledged candidate for the legislature
and Mr.. Cave was agreed upon.
For some time prior to the convention
O. D. Lammert had been a candidate
for the Republican nomination. 1t was
expected that his name should go before
the convention but a few days before
the convention he withdrew from the
race. The nomination of Cave was then
accomplished with ease.
The surprise with reference to Lem
merits withdrawal was greatly increaS-
ed when it was announced that he ex-
pected to be an independent candidate
for representative This was under con-
Sideration when the Democrats assem-
bled in their legislative convention and
they nominated Lemmert for represen-
tative. Lemmert has always been a Re
publican and he did not renounce his
faith, even when he wanted to make the
race as an Independent candidate.
Mr.. Lemmert'S endorsement by the
Democrats was not initiated by the Pop
uliSts who, declining to fuse, named d.
w. Barton, a Democrat for representa-
tive, placing the third candidate in the
field.
John Harper was elected representa-
tive two years ago by a majority of p.
Ten art ie ffav
is regarded as certain to take some Re
publican votes away from the ticket and
the split in the fusion element is calcu-
lated to disturb the regular vote of that
element, so the legislative situation is
very much complicated with the result
very much in doubt

turned east on Eighth avenue. No one
knew where he came from or where he
