DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION THE
ALL ABSORBING TOPIC
Some of the Republicans are Feeling
Anxious and Wondering Who
Their Opponents are to Be.

The primaries for the purpose of elect
sng delegates to the democratic conven-
zion were pulled off serenelv last Satur-
day and without any slatework in evil
dence. The democrats expect to put out
q strong ticket this fall and those who
are to distribute the nominations will
see to it that the country as well as the
three wards of North Yakima, have an
equal show with the pick and choice of
the nominations at the disposal of the
convention. The democrats in town as
sert their intention OF being fair in this
matter, and one Of the foremost politi-
aians remarked, 1--WE don't want to be
hogs, like some OF our friends The
nomination for sheriff among the demo-
Gratis will in all probability be warm

che party have announced their aspira-
lions for the office. City Marshal Grant
John Michaels, Harry Moran and per-
laps others will have their names placed
before the convention. They all seem

zion will have no trouble in defeating the
republican nominee. While it is all
conjecture as yet, who will be nominal
zted for senator, Jack Splawn seems to
be the favorite. For the legislature pro-
bable candidates are Jack Shaw, who
~ill unquestionably make great race.

Scare Mob Hill Residents.

A man by the name of Charles Nelson
and Joe Russell, boy about II years Of
age, had the neighbors of Mob Hill
frightened last Sunday night. 1t APP
pears that both men were drinking
some, and while leisurely vending their
way home decided to do little target
practice with their pistols, since they
were outside of the city limits. The
bombardment of post was begun with
such furiousness that the neighbors at
once concluded that some of Tracy's
kinfolks were in their neighborhood, and
straightway telephoned for police pro-
lection. The men were apprehended,
and brought before Justice Taggard,
who fined. Nelson $40 and Russell, the
boy, $3.50.

Cattle that have been ranging over

Divorce wiye. in Germany.

Germany is interested in this matter
Just now, because a new law on the
subject is coming into force this year.
Heretofore a lady, although divorced
on the ground of misconduct, could
and generally did continue to bear her
late husbands name and title. If he
objected to this it was open to him to
sue his late spouse for wrongfully APP
propriating his surname and titles, and
if the court saw good grounds for re-
straining the lady from so doing in fu-
ture, 1t was competent to issue such
a prohibition. But the costs kept
many men from taking advantage of
the law.
Now the matter will be much SIM
pier. A divorced wife may use her
late husbands name unless and until
he makes a declaration, which costs
rothing, to the effect that he with
draws from her the right to bear it.
OF course. this declaration can be made
only by one whose own behavior was
irreproachable. If there were faults on
beth sides the lady can call herself
by the surname she possessed ever
since her marriage.

No details were discussed at the con-

that may possibly be of value to some
journalistic Archimedes. This is the
story:
"Jay Gould had similar idea at one
time in his life, and it remained for
wise old editor to bring him to his
senses. 1 was commissioned by Mr..
Gould to buy the Chicago Tribune,
when it was at the zenith of itsspower,
when Joseph Medill was it's editor, and
when he was in the manhood of his
intellect. I bore to Mr. Medill a check
for 81 100000 for his interest in the
newspaper. He owned a few shares

l handed Mr.. Medill the check first,
and then explained to him as briefly
as 1 could that Mr.. Gould wanted the
Tribune. He looked at the check less
than a minute, and then handed it

pressive way, which I shall never for
get:
" What would l do with this money
if I had it? I have travelled all over

consolation. 1t gives me a comfort
that I could not buy with money. I

If l lost my connection with it, Then,
after moment. he added: You take
this check back to Mr.. Gould and tell
him for me that he is making the mis-
take of his life if he thinks that money
alone will control any great newspaper
in this country. He can't buy public
opinion. No amount of money can
do that. He would soon find out his
mistake-and It would not take long
for him to find it out: but he would
not find it out until his money was
gone and his property a wreck. Tell
him that is my advice

and returned to New York I laid il
down on Mr.. Gould's desk and repeat

Gould had cigar in his mouth. He
lighted his cigar with that 81, 400, 900
check and held to the paper contain
ing his signature until it was reduced
to ashes. Some years later Mr.. Gould
said to me one evening when we were
alone. and after he had been talking
of his successes: Joseph Medill fur

The captain to whom the plan was
proposed a few days ago replied: Mr..
Medill was right. The editor who
thinks he can control the country by
putting his finger on the pulse of Wall
street hasn't cut his eye-teeth."

A Fulcru,n Hunt in wall street.

From the New York Commercial.
"Give me where I may stand, and
I will move the world" said Archi-
modes after he had discovered the prin-
ciples of the lever. The man of to-
day who believes that money is a lever
regards Wall street as the fulcrum.
Thither, also, goes the man in search
of lever.
One hears so many stories of great
and sudden financial triumphs in this
money center of the world. Does one
not yet hear also of the debacle? on,
yes, but the smash-up is quickly for
gotten. And, eclipsed temporarily as
it may be by failure, the motto over
the entrance of Wall street-"Nothing
Succeeds Like Success out in
spite of repeated dissertations.
Only the other day man who han
dies a fortune of his own, accumulated
in the pursuit of a business far re-
moved from the atmosphere of specula-
ton, leaped out of his automobile and
ran up the iron steps leading to the
office of one of the greatest captains
of finance in the money center. Pos
sibly the visit had been prearranged.
Some say not. But no matter. The
conference lasted forty minutes. The
story is that he had a lever and that
he was in search of fulcrum.
In the forty minutes conference he
unfolded his scheme. He proposed to
establish a chain of daily newspapers
from the money center" across the
continent There is nothing new in
this. Other men have had similar
dreams. But this mans proposition
had a different basis and different
raison d'etre.
He unrolled a map. He stuck a pin
in New York, another in Chicago, a
third in San Francisco. Then he drew
a circle about each. Within each ra-
dius were cities none of which con-
tains a population below 100000.
The leading newspaper in each city
was to be furnished the vital financial
news of the day from the center of
the circle, in which such newspapers
was printed. The interests of the three
centers were to be reciprocal. New
York. or Wall street, was to be the
clearinghouse of the national newspa-
per syndicate-the syndicate agreeing
to control the stock speculations of the
world
A finger, according to the project
was TO be held on the government's
pulse. Influences were to be kept in
touch with the Treasury Department
in Washington so that, when the gov
