TIE EFFECT

court, recently Spohe
u the press in very complimentary
manner. His remarks show that he
has a proper appreciation of the press.
He said:
First-The effect the press has had
on the recent advance in American life
has been in realizing the constitutions
union Forty years ago a bitter civil
war prevailed. North and south We're
enemies. Now sectional animosities
are disappearing-pat is be-
coming universal. The north eulo
gizes Lee. the south yenerates Lin
coin, New York respects Bryan, South
Carolina honors Senator Hoar. We
are becoming truly one people. What
has brought this about? knowledge
of each other. We may hate those
we know-we never love those we do
not know The press, which tells us
each day what all do and say, helps
us to know each other. New York
knows New Orleans and San Fran
out the press. even with the telegraph
and the postOffice. what strangers we
should be, Knowing each other. we
find how much alike we are-some
defects. but many eXcellencies. So by
bringing the American people into a
more intimate acquaintance the press
has been making a more perfect I'M
ion
Second-In graphing with social
conditions and questions. Disease. ig-
no ance. crime poverty have always
existed We used to accept them as
inevitable. and thanked God we es-
capped. Now we deny fate and strive
to remove or improve The nation is
in the thrOes and sweat of struggle.
The DJecs informs us of and inspires
every effort. Each laborer knows he
is not working alone and is given
the oncoura cement and strength of co
oneratne Only through such is there
possibility of success in the solution
of these problems.
Third-Why in the evolution Of the
court of public opinion. the court
mightier than any organized tribunal.
at whose bar arc Judged all men
events and purposes. Here the press
does mighty work It collects the
universal oniniOn announces its con
clusions. and whirls them against all
for gloom or glory. These facts speak
most for the Unlift of the nation. and
in each tho nresc has been one if not
the great factor May ii continue its
werl. promoting national unity. hast
ening the solution of tho great prob
lens and bringing all mattors before
the court Of public opinion. a court OF
increasing wisdom and power.

FATAL TO MOTHER AND SON
Gas Explosions Result From Success
full Attempt at Suicide.


Columbus, Ind, Nov. 23.-August
Doller was burned to death and his
mother, aged eighty, was fatally burn
ed Sunday by a gas explosion at their
home. The house was totally wreck
ed, a part of it being blown into a
n~eighboring yard.
Doller had been drinking heavily
and was out late. He entered the
house by the kitchen and locked the
door leading from the kitchen to the
di%ningroom. Mrs. Dollar was awak-
ened and finding the door locked, went
outside and entered the kitchen by
the outer door. She lighted a match
and the explosion followed, throwing
her into the yard and burning her ter
ribly. The house caught fire and a
moment later there was a second eX-
plosion O. the second floor where gas
had accumulated. Firemen put out
the flames and while cropping through
the smoke stumbled over what proved
to be Doller's charred body wrapped
in a feather bed near the open natural
gas pipe, which had been disconnect-
ed. Tools were found near indicating
that Doller had disconnected the pipe
and laid down near the open pipe with
suicidal intent.

TWO PERSONS KILLED.
Local Train Derailed by Wreckers
Near Gwynedd, Pa,

Philadelphia, Nov. 23.-Two persons
were killed and a half dozen others
were injured late Saturday night in a
wreck neal Gwynedd, a short distance
from this city on the Philadelphia
and Reading railway. The dead are
G. L. Custer, aged fifty-seyen, a pass
engGr, who lived in this city, and
Harry Roderick of Doylestown, Pa,
fireman of the wrecked train. While
the injuries to some of the passengers
are serious, all of them will recover.
The railroad officials believe the ac-
cident was due to a deliberate attempt
at train wrecking. The train vas a
local one from Doylestown, and had
just passed the station at Gwynedd
when the engine jumped the track and
went over an embankment followed
by one car. An investigation, the
railroad officials say, showed that
spikes had been drawn from a plate
connecting the tracks and the rails
had been spread apart.

BOoDLING is CHARGED.
Warrants for Arrest Of Former Off
Gals of Grand Rapids, Mich.

III
Gals of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 23.-War-
rants have been issued for seventeen
former city officials charging them
with accepting a bride in connection
with the famous Garman-Cameron
scheme for supplying the city with
water from Lake Michigan. All of the
warrants are the result of the confess
sion made by former City Attorney
Liant K. Salisbury on his return last
week from serving a two years term
in the Detroit house of correction for
breaking the federal banking law in
connection with the scheme. While
in prison Salsbury's conviction on a
bribery charge in the state courts in
connection with the same matter was
affirmed by the supreme court and
with the prospect of being returned to
prison Salisbury went to the prose-
cutor's Office and made a lengthy con-
f%ession, which resulted in the issue
of warrants. Following are those in
dicted:
Former Mayor George R. Perry,
State Senator David Burns, Corey P.
Bissell, former member of the board
of public works, and the following ex-
aldermen, who were in office when the
attempt was made to put the water
deal through:
James McColl, Peter Depagter,
Jacob Ellen, Malachi Kenney, John L.
Donovan. Jacob Mol. Abraham Ghy-
sells, Charles Johnson, Ryner Stone
house, Daniel Lozier, John McLachlan,
Clark slocum, John Muir and Adrian
Shriver,
The amounts the respondents are
charged with having received out Of
the alleged Doodle fund range from
5000 to 1888.

STRIKE STILL UNSETTLED.
Chicago City Railway Directors Con-
siderina Employees, Proposition.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The strike on the
Chicago City railway is still unsettled.
Peace negotiations, which have been
in progress for nearly a week, were
confined Sunday to the consideration
by the board of directors of the road
of a proposition submitted to the COM
pany Saturday by the strikers. This
proposition, it is said, provides for
the arbitration of the grievances of the
unions on the systems, that struck in
sympathy with the trainmen. What
action the directors. took on this de-
mand is not known, as their answer
will not be given to the union until to-
day. A basis of settlement of all the
other differences in the controversy,
it is said, has been agreed upon and
unless the company refuses to accede
to these new demands of the union
an amicable adjustment of the whole
dispute should be reached not later
than tonight.
There was a marked increase in the
patronage Sunday on the four lines
being operated by the company under
police protection. There we're few
acts Of violence, however, and the day
passed off quietly, only three arrests

operations of the cars.
The teamsters have become more
deeply involved than ever in the
strike of the street car men. At a
meeting Sunday night of representa-
tives of all the locals Of the union in
Chicago the stand taken last week
when the drivers employed by the
Chicago City railway were ordered on
strike in sympathy with the trainmen
and all teamsters belonging to the
union were notified to cease deliveries
to the plants Of the traction company
was approved.
1t was decided to call a strike of the
transfers employed by the R. H.
Jones Transfer company, who have
been making deliveries to the Chica.
go City railway. This action, togeth-
er with the stand taken on the ulti.
matum of the employers. it is believ.
ed, may result in a general lockout
or strike of the 10000 union teamsters
employed throughout the city.

OPERATORS COMMITTEE BLAMEs
MINERS ORGANIZATION FOR
DOUBLE MURDER.
SHAFT HAD BEEN DYNAMlTED
SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE IN CON-
NEcTiON WITH OUTRAGE AT
'CRlPPLE CREEK.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Nov. 23.-Sher-
if Robertson, after investigating con-
ditions in the sixth level of the Vindi-
Gator mine, where Superintendent
Charles Mccormack and Shaft Boss
Melvin Beck were killed Saturday by
an explosion, comedies with the state
ment of the officials Of the company
that a deliberate attempt had been
made to wreck the shaft with dyna-
mite.
The executive committee of the
Mine Owners and Operators associa-
ton offered a reward of $4,000 for
evidence leading to the arrest and
conviction of the perpetrators. In a
published statement, the committee
says:
"The killing of Superintendent Nc
Cormack and Melvin Beck was one of
the most diabolical crimes that ever
darkened the annals Of Colorado and
is another step in the trail of blood
which has been made by the Western
Federation of Miners in his state.
"The time has passed for selecting
fine terms in which to speak of these
matters, and we do not hesitate to say
that this crime was devised and ex-
ecuted by the inner circle OF this or
ganiZation.
Made After a Careful Investigation.
This statement is made only after
a careful investigation of the facts,
