A DEADLY PARALLEL
Showing COncluslVely the Value Of 'Today'S
News Today Not Tomorrow.

Journalism is a great art, particu-
larly Marietta journalism, where "all
the news is printed all the time" and
"Today's news today, not tomorrow.
The Leader is supposed to be in the
news business, and with the aid of the
Associated Press,a web of oil wires, and
corps of lively local news gatherers,
we have been told that now and then
an item or two of interest appears in
our columns
But it remains for another to per-
form the great feats, which, though,
is very easy, with the aid of a new
press and a new gas engine these
are the things that get the news, the
things that make us weep. However,
we hope and pray that under the exist
ing conditions a suffering public will
have compassion upon us. We have
done our best-"angels can do no
more"
But to the point. Tuesday morn
ings Leader contained a news item,
thanks to the Associated Press, to the
effect that Mr.. Roosevelt will be in
Canton October 18th. After having
printed the above, we felt that a good
duty had been performed, so we retir-
ed to our virtuous couch to sleep the
sleep of the just.
But. o, what a wakening! In the
evening of the next day appeared in
the columns of that great modern
journal, commonly known as the
Evening Excuse" that medium of
gospel truth, the paper that prints "all
the news all the time" "today's news
today, not tomorrow" on new press
with new gas engine" a proclama-
ton to the world that Mr.. Roosevelt
will appear in Canton on the 18th of
October.
This was more than human heart
could bear-words can not describe
our feelings--we are creStfallen. EX
cuse us while we shed a tear.
The items in question appear below,
and must be read to be appreciated;

MATCHED
Eddie Gardner viii Meet Barney Furey at
the Auditorium, Oct. is.

Eddie Gardner, of Wheeling, signed
articles yesterday with Barney Furey
to meet before the Buckeye Athletic
Club at the Auditorium for twenty
rounds on Oct. 16. Matchmaker Fred
Josephy had been negotiating with
several of the leading boxers to meet
Barney Furey on the opening night of
the new Club and yesterday succeeded
in matching Eddie Gardner. Both
these men have records which speak
for themselves and though they have
never met before, each questions the
others superiority.
Eddie Gardner is a brother of Oscar
Gardner and many followers of the
ring express a favoritism for Eddie.
He has met and defeated some of the
greatest fighters in his class, and is
considered veritable fighting ma
chine
Furey has won the title of champ
ion of the middle states and lately
fought a ten round draw with Oscar
Gardner. He is a clean fighter and
gives a good account of himself with
whomever he meets in the squared cir
Gle and feels confident of defeating
Garnder when they meet here on Oct
16.
There will be an additional ten
round go between Charles Wheatley,
of Marietta, and Andy Bezenah, of
Cincinnati Andy last week gained a
decision over Sig Hart of Chicago, in
10 rounds, and his battle with Wheat
ley will be watched with great inter
est. This double bill of Gardner and
Furey and Wheatley and Bezenah
should prove great card for the op-
ening of the Buckeye Athletic Club
and Manager Josephy will spare no
trouble or expense in making it a
great success. Both Gardner and Fur
ey have started in training, Gardner
at his home in Wheeling and Furey at
Marietta. Wheatley starts training
Monday and Bezenah will probably
train here with Furey.

Fill on Goose Run Sewer.

In pursuance of instructions issued
by Council at their meeting two weeks
ago, the surplus dirt from the paving
on Maple street is being hauled to the
east side and deposited near the Goose
Run sewer on Front street. The street
will probably be broadened at this
point when the filling is completed.
The excavation on Maple street for the
paving is progressing rapidly and the
grade at which the street will be paved
will soon be established.

RAYMOND, Gala, June 2.-One of
the boldest robberies ever committed
in California occurred to-day, when
three stages, a private conveyance and
two soldiers were held up by two high
waymen. The hold-up occurred at a
point two miles this side of Grub Gulch.
Sergeant Buchanan and another troop,
er of Troop F, Sixth cavalry, en- route
from San Francisco to the Yosemite
National Park, had gone ahead of the
cavalry to make arrangements for Sc
lecting a camping place. The highway
men suddenly appeared, masked, and
getting the drop on the soldiers took
away their guns and held the troopers
until the stages arrived. The robbers
handed the driver of the stage a card
reading:
BLACK Kid; they fooled me on the
Big Oak Flat road, but you can't this
time"
One of the robbers then took a hat
belonging to T. H. Grifiths. of the
Southern Express Company, a passen-
ger on the stage, and collected $3.50
from the passengers, after which he
ordered the driver to go IN. Each
stage Vas successfully held up, the rob-
bers getting about $3.50. The mail and
express matter were not molested.

CUMBERLAND, Md, June 2.-The
advent of Mother JONES'" an elderly
labor organizer, into the Georges Creek
region saved the day for the organiza-
ton and prevented the strike from be-
ing declared off this evening.
Last Thursday the miners of the
Maryland, Georges Greek, American
and New Central coal companies held
meetings, and by an almost unanimous
vote declared that unless the organiz-
srs called the strike off before six
o'clock Friday evening, that they
would do so.
Realizing that something must be
done Mother Jones'" of Chicago, then
at Punxsutawney, Pa, was sent for and
she proved a wonderful success.
Her first effort to arouse enthusiasm
was made by marching at the head of
FIVE hundred striking miners through
the region, later addressing a mass
meeting. Her presence set the miners
wild.
The miners wives, daughters and
sisters had been pleading for weeks
with the men to return to work. and
when success had about crowned their
efforts, Mother Jones, versed in the
ways of women. appeared among them
and by her persuasion soon had the
women converted to the strikers cause.
Last night she addressed 1900 miners.
In the audience were 500 women who
~applauded her utterances to the echo.
This afternoon she addressed an au-
aince of nearly 1000 in a meadow near
Frostburg, and so maryelously did she
win those over that wanted to return
to work that at 2 o'clock this Afternoon,
the hour set for the miners to meet at
Homecoming to declare the strike off,
not one miner put in an appearance.
They had all gone to hear Mrs. Jones.
This evening an operator of one of
the companies was communicated with
by your correspondent, who said that
Mother Jones had won the day, that
the strike would now last all summer,
that the companies had no other hope.
Mrs. Jones is over 65. She will or
ganize the women before leaving the
region. .

PEKIN, Friday. June 1.-Americau
and other foreign guards, numbering

Dragon festival. The streets were unx
usually crowded, and though the people
were greatly interested in the annual
spectacle, no manifestations OF hostil-

The presence Of the guards has al
ready had a marked effect upon the
bearing of the Chinese toward foreign

country has been much allayed, buk
many Christian foreigners are still
focking into the city. The boxers
are evidently moving aheld. Unfortu-
nately no leaders OF the boxers havs
been arrested, though their capture
would have been easy. All the gov
eminent has done has been to occupy
the scenes OF the disturbances and no
real repressive measures have been
taken.

views on the suggestion to invite the

1.-The Beers are industrious and in

fight for independence, l hope they
will come to the United States. / visa
they could come soon enough to help
save this country from the imperial
committee that is driving them from
South Africa. A small part Of the
money now being expended on a war
of conquest would, if spent in reclaim
ing arid lands, furnish homes for all
the Beers and thousands of u people
besides.
