prominent farmer who blew off the
top of Sam Mullins's head with shot

The first killing was the result OF an
old fued between the men, while the
second was occasioned by Montgomery
coming into his home and finding Mul-
Inns abusing his wife and children.
Pickelsheimer, who was killed by
Howard, has been implicated In "a
number OF affrays. and 1t was due to
vigorous prosecution of him by the
then county attorney. John Howard.
that he attacked him in this instance.
Howard surrendered to the Sheriff,
and said that Pickelsheimer accosted
him and ran him fully l50 yards, cov-
ering him with his revolver before he
drew his own weapon, and, turning
suddenly. fired.

About Roosevelt and Hanna
Looks Like Armed Neutrality

I President will have no opposition for
the nomination in 1904. II will all de-
pend upon the future. II Mckinley
had lived to the end OF his term.
Roosevelt would have had enormous
opposition, but 1t IL plain now that II
his administration runs smoothly and
satisfactorily much OF ordinary re-
sistance to his nomination will be ef-
fcctively removed
Assuming that no fractional friction
will appear. the President is strong In
deed. There is a strong undercurrent
OF opinion. however, that the Presi-
dent will do things calculated to anger
many Republicans. especially those
who belong to the ultra machine ele-
ment, When he gets his head set in
the belief that he is right about
thing. the political managers are not
going to move him. And il he becomes
embroiied with any Of the influential
leaders, it Will remain to be seen
which is the stronger, the machine
which such leaders may be able to ma
nipuIate. or the Presidents personal
influence with the masses OF his party.
The President Will never shirk from
any sort OF fight, and Senator Hanna
is pretty much that sort OF man him
self When this is said II should he
added that there Is no reason to ex-
pect any friction between the Presi-
dent and Senator Hanna at this stage
of the game. All reputable Republican
leaders agree that the Presidents fti-
ture largely depends upon his admins
tration. and it liz too early to form any
opiniOn of that now.

WASHINGTON, Oct Ex-senator
IIanna's announcement in his speech
opening the Ohio campaign that he
would not retire from politics. that he
would remain at the head of the ma
tiOnal Republican committee and con-
tinue in the Senate is regarded as Of
unusual importance in Washington.
There have been rumors since the
death of the late President to the ef
feet that Senator Hanna would retire.
that his interest in politics expired
with the late President. and that he
might even resign from the Senate.
Some of these reports came from APP
parently good authority. There is no
doubt that Immediately after McKin-
ley's death Senator Hanna said things
that justified some of his friends in
believing that his early retirement was
contemplated
His speech, however, puts an end to
all such speculation and causes people
here to wonder about his possible
plans Nobody believes that there has
been anything like rapprochment be
tween President Roosevelt and the
Senator. and nobody believes that Sen
atur Hanna entertains the remotest
idea OF engineering R0oseveh's politi-
cal interests II the President has
really asked the Senator TO act in the
capacity of advisor the request merely
related TO what the President deems
his duties to the Republican party, And
II is likely that this is as far as Sen
ator Hanna would care to go.
No Republican Of prominence is
willing to be quoted as saying that the

ROOSEVELT'S SHARP SCRUTINY
UPSETS MANY OFFICE SEEKERS

WASHINGTON. Oct 25 President
Roosevelt is determined to continue
his policy OF securing for federal OH
ces only those men whose qualifica-
tions give them a special fitness Tor
the work to which II is proposed to as
sIep them. and whose moral character
as well as their business integrity is
and has been beyond reproach. Thus
far the President has made personal
investigation of the claims OF every
Office seeker who has presented him
self or been urged by his friends. Some
of the proposed candidates have beSn
rejected. particularly from Southern
states, on showing of facts In rela-
ton to their characters which have
had no relation to the place which II
was proposed they should I'LL.
Those who have been at the White
House to urge the names OF favorites
have been surprised at the intimate
knowledge which the President al
ready has of local men and conditions
IN the different states. 1t Is freely
predicted that eventually. as the cares
of the government increase. the Presi-
dent will be forced to less rigid posi-
ton In relation TO his appointments.
Neither the President nor his per-
sonal friends will admit this. The
President is a persistent interviewer.
He asks questions of every caller.
They come from all parts OF the coun-
try, and are OF all shades OF political
life and of all minds. and with varied
prejudices. He expresses himself free
ly and vigorously. and encourages
others to do the same with him. An
