rying fevolvers, entered. Two of them covered Adonowich with their pistols. while another lnair started to open the cash register.
 Adonowich seized heavy bottle from the bar and assaulted his captors with a vigor so sudden that both were stretched out in trice. Then, maddened at the sight of footing, snatcbed revolver from q third robber and opened fire. Michael Bensley one of the intruders. fell with bullets in his hip and abdomen. His com panions immediately returned the ire. The scene became one of general riot Chairs were hurled through the windows and the bar wrenched from its fasten- ings. The bullets flew wild, but one of the robbers put Adonowich hors du com bat with blow on the head.
 When the police arrived all. but Bens- ley. who was unconscious on the floor. had fled.

RAILROAD MEN CONFER.
Competitor to Community of In-

Chicago, April 11.-A new competitor to the Community of Interests plan evolv- ed by the Hartman Snd the Hill-Morgan svndicates is expected to be born of a conference held at the Auditorium Annex, in which Franls Rockefeller of Cleveland. Charles E. Perkins. former President of the Burlington Railroad. and Stuyvesant Fish. President of the Illinois Central, and A. E. Stickney. President of the Chi cago Great Western. took part, says The Inter Ocean. The railroad controlled by Mir. Stickney Is reported as the backbone of the proposed enterprise which if car ried out, is calculated to disturb the har- mony in the railroad world that has ob- tained since tho two great money inter- ests,of Wall Street fought to d finish last May over the control of the Northern Pacific.

IS DENIED BY HARRIS
HE WAS NOT INFORMED OF
 BoER SURRENDER.
Peace Negotiations Not Expected to Conclude So Soon as the Pre- mature Reports Indicated. Government Without
 Information.

London, April 11.-F'rederick Rutherford Harris. former Secretary of the British Chartered South African Company. was asked this morning at his residence if he had received a telegram announcing that the Boer leaders had accepted the British terms. He replied that the fumor was without foundation.
 A similar report of tho alleged agree ment was carried by the Central News and published by some Of the morning papers, which issued extra editions. IL appears to have originated in the town of Rontypool. adjacent to Llangibly Castle. The dispatch appearing In the Financier and Bullionist is not confirmed from any other quarter.
 From government sources the Associat- ed Press ascertains that the peace nego- tiations are not expected to come to conclusion so quickly as the premature reports indicated The belief that there will be considerable parleying also exists in circles intimate with the Boer leaders on the continent, who maintain that no peace can be arrived at unless the British grant some concession form of amnesty to the Cape rebels. Whether this contention will prove well-founded or otherwise is only matter or con lecture but 1t appears certain that the Boers will hold out till all expedients or negotiations are exhausted, ia an en- deavor to gain this point.
 Some of those who are In close touch with South Africa believe that ten days may elapse before u definite conclusion is reached. In the meanwhile the pres ence of such representative Boe<s at Klerksdorp and other factors create an a1l-round hopeful feeling. This was re- ffected on the Stock Exchange in the ad- vances of consols and kaffirs. Up to 11:2o a. m. the government had received no official news bearing out the state- ments that peace had been arranged.

The saying that we do not always know just what we arc eating Is sustained by the fact that much of tho canned salmon we buy is really Mississippi River cat fish. These are shipped to Northern can neries where the flesh is colored and favored before canning so that none but experts can tell tho difference. But is there any difference, if the eater fails to recognize it? It is quite an extensive industry, we are assured, and probably no one is injured.

MosTs SENTENCE AFFIRMED
Anarchist Editor Must Serve Year
 in Prison.

New York, April 11.-The appellate di- vision of the Supreme Court today affirm ed the conviction of Johann Most on a charge of printing in his newspaper. Die Freiheit." 'an improper article entitled Murder vs. Murder
 The article was published about the time of the assassination of President Mckinley. Most was sentenced to a year g Imprisonment.
 Regarding Mosts contention that the constitution gave him the right to pub fish the article. the court says:
 "The constitution does not give to a citizen right to murder nor does it give to him the right to advise the commis- sion of that crime by others. What 1t does permit is liberty of action only to the extent that such liberty does not in- terfere with or deprive others of an equal right"

There's always a right way to go at anything, when we know just how. In the little town of Rokeby Victoria, all the people drink beer. but while the fluid sells at four pence bottle in Melbourne, they charge six pence bottle in Rokeby. Failing to get a reduction. almost the entire population signed pledge not to to four pence, and 1t is pretty safe to predict that the dealers will give in. To sell at a fair price or to sell none at sll is the question, and the former will win.

GOV. JoHNsroN's SHINING RE- CORD AS A BoLTEH

One Of ex-Governor Johnstous frfenos tries to answer some of this papers recent strictures upon him by recurring to the fact that The Advertiser bolted the Chica- go platform and Bryan in 1896 This friend wants to know when Johnston ever bolted. when he opposed the nomi- nees and platform of the Party.
 That is & very poor defense and very unfortunate question. Ex-Governor John- ston has the most brilliant record as a boiter that can be found in the political history of Alabama. Recent political his- tory shines with 1t.
 In 1892 Johnston wrote and reported the famous Thirteenth Plank in the State Democratic platform. It was a declaration for tho supremacy of the virtuous and intelligent.
 In 1896 he became Governor and he devoted a large part of his inaugural address to a vigorous advocacy of a Constitutional Convention as the way to secure forever in this State the supremacy of the virtuous and intelligent.
 In 1898 the Democratic Legislature re- deemed the Party pledges and carried out Johnstons insistent recommendations by taking the first step toward a Constitu- tional Convention. Johnston signed the bill for that purpose.
 A few weeks afterwards John ston called the Legislature together and by extraordinary pressure prevented d forNed thrOiIoh a repeal of the Democratic measure he had so recently signed.
 This rehash of facts so familiar to tho Alabama public is to emphasize the shin ing record of the ex-Governor as a bolter.
 He bolted his own original Thirteenth Plank.
 He bolted the pledge of his Party adopt ed mainly through his influence.
 He 'bolted his own inaugural message as a Democratic Governor.
 He bolted the action of the Democratic caucus of the Democratic Assembly.
 He bolted the endorsement of the Con- stitution Convention submission act by a Democratic State Convention.
 Finally he bolted the friendship of the bulk of the State and county leaders who nominated him, and as result made a humiliating failure in his race for Senator.
 Not satisfied with bolting Party actions for which he was so much responsible, he kept up his record after the Party went ahead and undertook to execute his policy in spite of his boltng. He has fought the Party at every turn in it's task of calling Convention, of framing & new Constitution, of submitting it, of adopting it. And today he Is still bolt ing the Party's will and work by doing all he can to undermine the new instru- ment and to set it aside.
 As a bolter of his Party ex-Governor Johnston has no peer in this State. He Is easily first and foremost. And if we mistake him not. he will continue in his self-willed self-seeking course, until he organizes a new Party in this State and becomes it's leader. The chief end of his existence is to get into the United States Senate, and he will stop short of no means that promises him success in that ambition. Party principles. Party politics and Party loyalty arc mere leaves in his path.

If any one thinks png-pong is not a popular game he will think differently when told that one factory in England is making something over three million of the balls each week. There must be a demand for them, present or prospec- tive, or such enormous numbers of them would not be manufactured. It seems to be a worse craze than roller skates.

WHEAT HARVEST IN FULL BLAST
south Dakot VIII Five
MiIIion BusheIs More Than
Last Year.

SIOUX FALLS. 3. D., Aug. s.-(special.l
Wheat harvest IL general In the southern
half Of the state, and the coming week II
will become general in the northern half.
In the northern half some few fields Of
early sown wheat already have been cut,
but the harvest Of this grain will not begin
In earnest until the coming week. The hot
weather of the past week, has ripened wheat
and other small grain very rapidly Ia the
north half Of the state, and harvest will
become general somewhat sooner than was
anticipated two or three weeks ago.
The wheat yield In the north half Of the
state viii be. the best for some years. Re
gions which during the past two or three
years raised only ordinary crops Of wheat
because Of insufficient rainfall Will this year
raise crops. Of the bumper character. This
is due to tbs unusually heavy rainfall early
in the season and the extremely fnvorahie
conditions since that time. and especially
during the critical part Of tbs growing
season.
Estimates that the wheat crop Of South
Dakota win this year amount 70 lo.0eo.0o 0
bushels. an increase OF 5000, 900 bushels
over the yield Of last year. win unquestion-
ably prove 70 be conservative. The yield
viii certainly not be under this figure, but
promises TO BE- considerably over Il.
