Russell Sage, the largest individual cap
on Trusts, said last week =
Combinations of industries are a menac'
to true government. Not only so, but they
are the oppressors of the people"
what will be the result of such al
era ?'' he was asked.
''In such an event the American people
will revolt against them and there will b.
financial ruin the like of which this countr,
has never senior any other"
And yet, Republican newspaper organ
insist that ''Trusts are a good thing
Why not halt the Trusts before the fnan
cial ruin" point is reached by electing Con

President Roosevelt is swinging through
New England this week and making
speeches as occasion offers. The burden OF
these speeches is the necessity for control OF
Trusts, but it is significant that no remedy
for the Trust evil is advanced. Mr.. Roose-
welt is evidently more concerned lest the
Trusts be injured than he is that the peo-
pie be relieved from their unjust exactions

George w. F. Gaunt, of Mullica Hill,
Grand Master of the State Grange, has at
last been prevailed upon to enter himself in
the race for the Republican Assembly
nomination against Assemblyman J. Boyd
Avis. Up to the time of the Congressional
primaries it was understood that Mr.. Avis
was worthy of unanimous denomination
at the hands Of Republican voters. But
Mr.. Avis committed the objectionable sin
of supporting Mr.. Vansant before the pri-
msries and he is to be "set down" on,
no doubt by order of Congressman
Loudenslager, and means that all his OPP
ponents in that contest must hereafter ''go
way back and sit down" and aspire to
nothing higher that carries Of wood and
drawers of water to his lordship. Hence,
gentlemen, prepare for your fate.

MORGAN WILL NOT INTERFERE
Financier Approves Operators Course
in Coal Strike.
New York, Aug. 27-George F. Baer,
president OF the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company, and the
recognized leader OF the fight Of the
coal operators against the anthracite
miners OF Pennsylvania, arrived in
this city yesterday from Philadelphia,
and aiter transacting some business
at his once went to the Office of j.
P. Morgan in Wall street ard con-
tered with the great financier
Later President Baer was seen. He
said: We have simply exchanged
notes regarding the strike of the an
thracite miners. The situation is I'M
changed. The assumption that my
visit to j. P. Morgan signiied a
change in our attitude to tne strike
is entirely erroneous. l had not seen
Mr. Morgan since his return from
Europe, and was naturally anxious
to talk with him with regard to the
general situation.
Il will say that our fixed purpose
to refuse to arbitrate this dispute is
as firm as ever. There will be no
arbitration. We will not allow it..
Generally speaking, we are satisfied
with conditions.
From another and equally reliable
source it was learned that Mr.. Nor
gan declared yesterday that be posi-
lively will not in any way interfere
with the progress of the strike of the
miners. He has expressed to the
coal magnates his general approval
of the conduct of their side of the
struggle. The authority for this
statement is coal president. who
declined to allow the use of his name
in this connection.

The profits of the steel trust are officially
declared to have been $3.50, 0Oo,0 900 last


year.
Who cannot recall the tense excitement
and racking horror when he read of some
merchant vessel seized upon by pirate
crew, its passengers outraged, its defenders
forced to walk the plank, and its treasures
sacked to enrich the captors. There is a
strong similarity between these stories and
the present conditions in which the trusts
have boarded the ship of state, have in
suited and outraged honest industry, have
destroyed individual energy and ambition,
have plundered the wealth of the people,
and stalk about the decks arrayed in the
vast fortunes which they have acquired in
the few years of their predatory existence.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK
Jealous Lover Kills Man, Woman and
Himself.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Lizzie Otto,
formerly OF Stroudsbarg, Pa; Arthur
Campbell, of this city, and Christian
Cans, government tailor at Fort Han
cock are dead as the result of a
tragedy which took place yesterday in
the apartments of the woman in East
Twenty-fifth street, where she was
known as Lizzie Hall. The woman
and Campbell, it is believed, died al
most instantly. Cans died in Belle
vue hospital last night.
The OFT woman lived in three small
rooms in the rear of the first floor of
the house, which is large tenement.
Her almost nude body was found on
the floor of the bedroom, with bullet
hole through her heart. Arthur w.
Campbell's body, fuzzy dressed, and
also shot through the heart, was lying
behind that of the woman. Christian
GAM lay dying in the same room, a
bullet having entered the base of the
brain and shattered the spinal column.
Both GAM and Campbell had been
calling On the woman frequently, and
residents OF the house say they were
jealous of each other. Campbell and
the OFT woman were seen together at
the Aquarium Hotel Tuesday evening.
They quarreled, and the woman left,
Campbell going out after her. 1t is
supposed that CAM called at the house
during the night. and, finding Campbell
there, shot both Campbell and the
woman, and then turned the weapon
on himself
The following note, dated New
York, August, 1902, was found in one
of Cans pockets by the coroner:
This woman has ruined my life,
and hope that God will forgive me
for what l am going to do. And l am
not sorry for what l am going to do.
Good bye to all.

Thousands of Sheep Poisoned.

During the last two years several
thousand sheep have died in Grant, Ba-
ker and Morrow counties, in eastern Ore
gon, from nibbling salt mineral deposits
which, when analysed, turned out to be
poisonous nitrate of potassium. There
are several o~utcroppings of this chemical
at widely separated points throughout
the sheep-raising districts in those coun-
ties.
Eight hundred sheep have died from
this cause during the last few days, the
losses comprising one-third of ]. c. Oil
ver's flock and one-sixth of the flock
owned by ]. c. Moore. 1t is only very
recently that sheepmen have discovered
Just whit caused their losses. Originally
they thought the animals died from eat
ing poisonous weeds or grass. Some at
tributed 1t to poison placed on the ranges
by rival stockmen.
The presence of nitrate of potassium
can hardly be detected because through
the action of rain and sun, it comes to
the surface in the form of a whitish de-
posit which looks exactly like alkali.
Steps are now being taken to avoid the
ranges where potassium exists.

For District Attorney.

Bert l.. Hood of this town ~nnounces
himself In today's issue as a candidate
for the office of District Attorney before
the Democratic county convention. Mr..
Hood was elected to the position two
years ago as a Democrat and his term of
office has been characterized by strict
attention to duty and unceasing labor
for the welfare of the county. He has
made an efficient District Attorney and
ex-oficio County Superintendent of
Schools. The last mentioned position is
one which requires faithful attention If
the best interests of the public schools
are to be served. This attention has been
given by Mr.. Hood and the county's le-
gal business as well has been in compe-
tent hands during his official term. His
claim to the nomination is deserving of
full consideration by the convention.

section and avoiding the danger of floods
in time of high water. 1t is estimated
that this work would cost less than $780,

alone would approximate 500, 000, while
the value to the railroad company would
be above comprehension.-Reno Gazette.

scientious member of that body than
