GOVERNOR oDELL AT FAIR.
Agriculture Is the Basis Of Prosperity
So He Saws.

Agriculture Is the Basis Of Prosperity,
So He Says.
Lowville, N. ", Aug 27.--The Lewis
county fair was begun here today.
Governor Odell was present and deliv-
cred an address, saying in part:
Agriculture is the basis of prosperf.
ty and therefore its encouragement
and protection is q function of the
state. Capital is the result of labor
its combination in the most complete
and concrete form--therefore it should
be accorded no rights which are not
vouchsafed to the individual and to-
him wro labors. These truths are not
mere platitudes, but inherent princi~
pies of government. Combinations
which seek to oppress the people or to-
place upon them additional burdens.
transgress the powers which have been
given them.
elm this state we have been accorded
rights which are seldom exercised by
the national government. Upon the
growth of values the state depends for
the moneys necessary for it's we'll
being, while the federal government ex-
acts, except in the greatest emergen-
cies, the bulk of its revenues from Inn
portations from other countries. This
power forms the basis for party creeds
and policies. Under a so-called pros
tective tariff has come prosperity, bud
IL is claimed that with it have come
conditions which either through dis-
satisfaction. or otherwise. have at
times produced results which are oner-
GUS and burdensome. Whether this
result is caused by governmental poll
lev which seeks to benefit and protecn
labor is question of serious import.
So-called trusts NAV have benefited by
high duties, but there are so many
combinations that do not require or res
ceive tL.s aid that 7 am inclit8ed to ths
belief that the solution of this problem
must be otherwise sought than IN this
elimination or lowering OF tariff rates.

PURSUED BY BLOODHOUNDS.
Man who Escaped From Prison
Makes Statement.

Says He Escaped for the Sole Purpose
of Killing a Deputy Sheriff-He Says
the Deputy Sent Him to Prison and
Wrecked His Home-The Commune
cation is aeLiterary Freak.
Butte, Mont, Aug 27.-With officers
of the state penitenriary upon his trail,
assisted by ploodhounds, Convict Tom
O'Brien, who last FRIDAY made a dar-
ing escape from the state prison, has
sent letter to the Miner pleading for
a public statement e0t<nis aneged crime
and vowing the death OF Under Sheriff
Dave Morgan, whose alleged perjured
testimony, the convict y declares, sent
him to prison and wrecked his home.
The document received by the Miner
bears the postmark of Anaconda. The
writer dates his communication from
a mountain inNthe surrounding hills OF
Anaconda and says that he wrote his
story behind a rock, dividing his time
between his Winchester and his pen.
The communication is literary freak
and there is no question as to its au-
thenticity, as the handwriting has been
fully identified by the warden Of the
penitentiary and others acquainted
with the criminal.
O'Brien declares his sole object IN
escaping from prison is to kill Deputy
Sheriff Morgan. O'Brien was sent up
for robbery in 1901.

WAGES OF CITY LABORERS.
Hartford Will Adopt a New
Schedule September 4.

and Not Let Out to Contractors
Waterbury Cannot Do Work in This
Manner as It's Hands Have Been
Tied by a Republican Legislature
Hartfords new schedule of wages
for city laborers will go into effect OH
September 1. In addition to this they
are going toNdo some sewer work by
the day, which will give employment
to large number of its own citizens
instead of letting it out by contract
and having the money go to outsiders,
as usually happens In Waterbury.
Some may ask why don't they do 1t
that way here? The answer to this is
found in one of our charter amend
ments which provides that all such
work shall be done by contract. The
aldermen nor any other board has any
option In the matter. That was fixed
at Hartford on recommendation of the
republican members of the board of
aldermen, not the present board, but
one that had among 1t men who
thought nothing Of making handsome
presents to the trolley company, while
making big howl about alleged waste
fulness in the cost of labor. This con-
tract labor charter provision put Wa
terbury ION the hog'' so far as common
labor is concerned. The people were
told it would freduce taxation. but the
rate payers have not noticed any reduc-
tion in the size of the collectors bills.
This is something which should occupy
the attention of people who believe that
those who are putting up the money
for public expenditures should have a
little to say regarding how it shall be
disposed Of 1t looks as If 1t would
be good thing to perform as much
work as can be handled conveniently
by the day instead of letting it out by
contract. 1t would encourage a good
class Of laborers to locate here. and no
one will deny that this would prove
beneficial to<the merchants and every
body else. The factories conduct their
affairs on a good business policy and
vet nearly all their work is done by
the day. If the shops should resort to
the same tactics as the city does in
spending their money pay day In Wa
terbury wouldn't amount to what ii
does for the merchants, for the bulk OF
| it would go to parties who would moi
leave much of 1T here.

DIED AT sANITARIUM.
Former Governor of Ohio Died at
Watkins, n. Y.


Watkins, N. Y
Rochester, N. Y, Aug 27-Some adj
ditional details regarding the death of
former Governor George Hoadley of
Ohio, which occurred at Watkins, N.
Y, last evening reached this city to-
day. Special dispatches from Wat
kin say that the ex-governor, who
since 1887, has been praeticing law in
New York city, left that city several
weeks ago owing to a break down of
his health and went to the Glen Springs
sanitarium in Watkins, with the hope
that he might be benefited therein and
and regain some of his lost strength.
Mr. Hoadley's family came with him
to New York. Up to two weeks ago the
ex-governor was able to be about the
grounds of the sanitarium, but his
age counted against him and his
strength gradually failing he was
forced to take to his bed about two
weeks ago and passed away at 5:15
O'Clock last night. Th sanitarium
officials have so far refused to diyulge
the nature of Mr. Hoadley's ailment.

LARNEDS FINE PLAY TODAY
He Defeated r. F. Doherty, the
Englishman, Easily.

The Largest Tennis Crowd of the Sea-
son Was Present at To-day's Play
The Englishmen Gave Out as Long
Ago as Saturday That, They Were
Afraid of Larnede
Newort, r. T., Aug 27.-With inter-
est at the highest pitch on account OF
the uncertainty of the result, one OF
the largest crowds that ever witnessed
tennis match gathered about the
championship court at the Casino to-
day to see William A. Larned of sum-
NIT, N. j., defend his title of champion
against the English challenger, Il. F.
Doherty.
The comparative ease with which
Doherty defeated NJ u. Whitman In
the finals yesterday caused much anx-
iety for the safety of the title. All the
followers of the game seemed to be at
sea in their calculations, for Whitman,
who had defeated Doherty earlier in
the season, was expected yesterday to
drive the Englishman to the limit OF
his powers if he should win. But the
foreigner was not troubled in beating
the American and to-day he was to
face Larned, whom he recently de-
feated in the match for the Davis tro-
ply The odds, however, were in favor
of Doherty, and in making bets to
was demanded by Larned hackers.
The statement said to have been made
by the Dohertys last Saturday that
they feared Larned more than Whit
man, gave the followers of the Amerl-
can champion much courage.
1 The day was repetition of the
eight perfect ones which have prevailed
since the tournament started week
ago yesterday. The sun was warm,
but not scorching while the breez 2
from the ocean. with its burden Of salt,
was most refreshing.
An hour before the game started
there was standing room only on the
unreserved sides Of the court and later
even those spaces were at a premium.
The big grand stand was packed with
the representative beauty and wealth
of the summer colony, while on three
sides of the court there were rows
upon rows of tennis enthusiasts who
watched the play with keenest inter-
est.
