Monday night large cartoon and some verses were tackled upon the ex tsrior of the NEWS office. The gang who did that job showed their assur- ance. That job was not joke or the NEWS; it was direct insult to the honesty, intelligence. conservatism, for bearance and virtue of the decent people of North Canaan. That so call ed Canaan Tammany" gang can tack its cartoons upon the NEWS office door, but it cannot tack it's dishonesty and meanness upon the newspaper itself

The appearance in great numbers either of toadstools or mushrooms whicl has been noticed growing in many yards this season has led some to gathe, them promiscously. Unless one is positively sure they can discriminate between the two, it would be wiser to leave them alone as the following shows: A family of four in Waterbury last week ate what they supposed to be mushrooms, but alas were toadstools. Two of the family are dead but it is hoped the others may recover.

AN ALLIED THIRD
 PARTY IS FORMING
Delegates from Thirteen States Have Assembled in Response
 to Parker's Call

Kansas City, Mo, September 17.--Near- tend the "allied third party conference called by Jo. A. Parker, chairman of the Peoples party national committee to per- feet union of all reform parties. The delegates came from thirteen States and represent the public ownership party, liberal socialists, middle-of- the-road Pop ulists, fusion Populists and silver Repub- ncans and the single tax league.
 The largest delegation came from St. Louis and numbered 192 men, headed by Dr. J. B. Chambers. The conference com mittee of the several parties did not meet in joint conference today, the entire time being taken up by separate committee meetings behind closed doors, considering the formulation of platform and the choosing of a name for the new organiza- tion. Although the procedure is unusual it is the intention to come to an under standing upon this question in advance, if possible, and thereby prevent dissen- sions in the joint conference. The joint conference will meet tomorrow, when clash is not unlikely as the Populists are not disposed to surrender their name and identity. The Populist delegates assert that they have no authority to take such a step.
 The joint conference will be called to order by T. J. Cook of Carthage, Mo-, chairman of the fusion wing of the Pop ulist party.
 L. H. Weller of Nassau, Ia., Populist candidate for Governor of that State; Jo. A. Parker of Louisville, Ky; pr. A. E. Chambers of St. Louis, and others prominent in the allied third party move ment will speak.

Present Members NH Probably Hold Portfolios Remain
 der of the Term
THE FIRST CALLED MEETING
New President Proposes to Carry Out MT. Mckinley's Policy to the Let ter as Outlined In the Fam
 ous Buffalo Speech.

Washington, September 7.-President Roosevelt at o'clock today at the resi- dence of Commander Cowles, convened his first cabinet meeting held in Washing ton. The President asked the members of MT. McKinley's cabinet to retain their respective portfolios throughout his term and announced that his administration would follow the policy outlined by Presi- dent Mckinley in his Buffalo speech. The President expressed the hope and expecta- ton that very member would serve throughout his term for, he said, he ten dered the appointments as If he had just been elected to the Presidency and was forming an original cabinet. The Presi- dent said however, there was one differ ence between the present tender and that of an original offer, namely, under the present circumstances they were not at liberty to decline. Upon being asked by a member if resignation should be formal lv presented in the usual manner the President answered tndl hls aStioh "N .' meeting had precluded the necessity of presenting resignations. The discussion turned upon the policy of the administra- tion and MT. Roosevelt announced that he regarded the speech of the late President at the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition the day before he was shot as outlining the policies of his own administration
 It cannot be learned at this time wheth- CT or not all the members will be willing to serve the full term.
 Secretaries Hay and Long remain In Washington at the Presidents request, MT. Roosevelt thinking that some mem bers of the cabinet should continue in Washington.

BRYAN PAYS BEAUTIFUL
 TRIBUTE TO M'KINLEY

enough or thick enough to shut 1t out and no house Is humble enough to escape it's visitation. Even love, the most potent force known to man, love the character istic which links the human to the divine, even love is powerless in it's presence. It's contingency is recognized in the mar riage vow until death does us part and is written upon friendship ring. But the death even when produced by natural causes of a public servant charged with, the tremendous responsibilities which press upon President shocks the entire country and is infinitely multiplied when the circumstances attending constitute an attack upon the government itself.
 Not one can estimate the far-reaching effect of such an act as that which now casts a gloom over our land It shames America in the eyes of the world; 1t inn pairs her moral prestige and gives ene- mics of free government a chance to mock at her and 1t excites an indignation which, while righteous in itself may lead to acts which will partake of the spirit of lawlessness. As the Presidents death overwhelms all in a common sorrow, so it composes a common responsibility, namely to so avenge the wrong done to the President, his family and the country as to make the executive life secur with out abridging freedom of speech or free- dom of the press"

LAST CHAPTER OF
 SAD CEREMONIAL
Twenty Cars in Three Trains Required to Carry the
 Funeral Party

Washington, September H.-The last chapter of the sad ceremonial, the re- moval of the remains of the late Presi- dent to the grave at his old home at Can ton, O., began at S:20 o'clock tonight, when the funeral train left here over the Pennsylvania railroad
 The escort for the body from the capitol to the train consisted of committees from the army and navy and two squadrons of the 11th cavalry. The route was down Pennsylvania avenue, which was lined on either side by troops of the District of Columbia Twenty cars in three trains were required for the transportion of the funeral party to Canton.
 Tomorrow still another train will carry to Canton a large party of senators and representatives and others prominent in national life.
 President Roosevelt arrived at the train at 75O Mrs Mckinley declined to use a rolling chair from her carriage to her car and walked with surprising firmness to her place, assisted by Abner Mckinley and Dr. Rixey. The observation car bear ing the remains was flooded with light, so that even as the train sweeps through the night the people in the country may see the casket.

SENATOR JONES
 HAS OPPOSITION
Ex-Governor Clark Accuses Ar- kansas Senate of Belong
 ing to a Trust

Zachry, Ark, September 1.-The cam- paign for the United States Senatorship was formally opened here today with Senator James K, Jones, who is chair man of the Democratic National Com mittee, and ex-Governor James P. Clark as the candidates. They addressed a large audience of ladies and voters. Ex- Governor Clark compared Senator Jones with having stock to the amount of $S5O,000 in the alleged round bale cotton trust, and produced the copy of a certi- ficate showing that Senator Jones voted that much stock at the meeting of the company. In reply Senator Jones said he owned $17OOOO of common stock which had netted him no returns and that the $S50,O0O of stock voted by him represented his own holdings and those of his asso- ciates whose proxies he held. He read William J. Bryan's defense of him in an- swer to the charge that the Senator was connected with a trust Senator Jones wanted to know why ex-Governor Clark who Is the Arkansas member of the Dem ocratic National Committee, did not pre- fer charges against him as chairman and let the committee investigate Ex-Gov- ernor Clark insisted that the records in New Jersey were against Senator Jones in the matter of his round bale stock He criticised the Senator's management of the Democratic tariff legislation in 1894 and urged against long continuance in office. The two candidates will pro- ceed to canvass the state, making speeches daily at various places. Their claims will be passed upon at Democrat ic primary elections to be held In Feb ruary next.

HOWLE CLAIMS
 SELF-DEFENSE
Alabamian Tells How and Why He Shot the Texan in
 Oklahoma

Guthrie, o. F., September 17-Col. B. II. Howle is under arrest in Lawton for the killing of R. c. Goree at Mcknight on September 4. His son James T. Howle Is also under arrest, charged with complici- ty. Their preliminary hearing will be held at Lawton as soon as the witnesses can be secured. Owing to Mcknight be- ing an inland town without railroad or telegraph connections, "details of the hom- icide are difficult to obtain.
 Colonel Howle says he resided formerly at Dadeville, Alabama, and tells the fol- lowing story of the affair, claiming self defense:
 The trouble originated over certain cer- tifcates of town lots which the firm of Latham, Howle & Childers had in their possession. Messrs. Latham & Childers shooting and Colonel Howle was asked by Goree that his certificate be giver him. the Colonel asked that time be given, that the books could not be gone over and the correct certificate be given. Some days before Goree gave notice to Colonel Howle that he must leave town in three days or he would kill him. Saturday morning they met In the office of the Mc- Knight Leader. Goree abused Howle and knocked him down. Six or seven shots were fired, three of which struck Goree, one in the arm. one in the neck and one through the palm of the right hand. James T. Howle, a son of the Colonel, was also mixed up in the affray Goree walked to the office of a surgeon and died several hours afterward. His re- mains are being prepared for shipment to his former home In Texas

LEON CZOLGOSZ
 WHEN IN COURT
 REMAINS SILENT
Turns Deaf Ear to All Questions and Gives Ap- pearance of One Trying to Feign Insanity. When Straight Look Met His Gaze
 His EyeIids Dropped.

Buffalo. September T.-Leon F. Czol- gosz, the assassin of President Mckinley was arraigned before Judge Emory in the County Court at 8 o'clock this after noon on the indictment for murder in the first degree in fatally shooting President Mckinley in the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition on September G. Again the stubborn prisoner refused to plead or even to utter a word or sound, and the Hon. Loran L. Lewis. ex-supreme court justice entered plea of not guilty. The accused will be tried in the Supreme Court Monday.
 Crowds f1ocked to the city hall today to see the prisoner but the uncertainty sur rounding the question as to whether or not counsel could be secured for him, saved congestion of the courtroom and corridors of the hall
 The most notable incident of the day was the hissing of the prisoner by the crowds who surged around him as he was being escorted down the stars still draped in mourning garb. The strong guard of patrolmen and deputy sheriffs had been dispensed with, so that the people were able to get nearer the prisoner as he passed to and from the courtroom.
 Wouldn't Talk to Attorneys.
 As a result of the urging of President Moot of the Erie County Bar Association Judge Lewis. one of the attorneys assign ed as counsel by Judge Emory yesterday called at the Erie County Jail at o'clock this afternoon to see the prisoner. Czol- gosz refused to talk to Judge Lewis, and even refused to answer questions as to whether or not he wanted any counsel. Judge Lewis said that nevertheless he would appear for the prisoner upon ar raignment, even if he decided not to ac- cept the assignment of the court.
 Absolutely no demonstration having been made against the prisoner yester- day the authorities decided that the strong guard was unnecessary today. Czolgosz was taken from the jail through the tunnel under Delaware avenue to the hall by detectives Solomon and Geary, being handcuffed to the latter.
 In passing from the basement of the city hall to the court room on the sec ond floor Czolgosz was compelled to pass close to the black and white bunting with which the pillars, ceilings, windows and stairways of the city hall were draped These evidences of the city s grief apparently made not the slightest impression the prisoner, and he gave no more heed to them or to the large portraits of the President draped with American flags than he did to the ques- tions of the court and of the district att torney
 Many Curious Spectators.
 The prisoner entered the court room at 8 o'clock and as many of the curious spectators as could surged into the court room behind him, a murmur ran through the audience but the gavel of the judge and the tipstaff of the crier soon restored order. As soon as Czolgosz was before the bar and the handcuffs removed, Dis

Lincoln, Neb, September H.-A tribute from W. J. Bryan to the dead President was given to the Associated Press today:
 Quoting the words of Major Mckinley Gods will not ours, be done.' MT Bryan recalls the pathetic scenes at the death-bed and continues:
 "The terrible deed at Buffalo, rudely breaking the ties of family and friendship and horrifying every patriotic citizen crowns a most extraordinary life with a halo that cannot but exalt It's victims s place in history. His bravery during the trying ordeal, his forgiving spirit and his fortitude in the final hours give glimpses of his inner life which nothing less tragic could have revealed
 But inexpressibly sad as Is the death of Mckinley, the illustrious citizen, it is the damnable murder of Mckinley, the President, that melts 75,OO0,oOO hearts Into one and brings a hush to the farm, the factory and the forum.
 Death is in the inevitable incident of every human career. It despises the sword and the shield of the warrior and laughs at the precautions suggested by science. Wealth cannot build walls high
