binations is the favor they receive
from transportation companies How
can you expect legislation along this

by men thus Interested? 1t is not a
doubtful proposition and the transport

ment by rebates. The small shipper

the big one. The Wabash railroad IN
order to obtain entrance into Pitts
] burg, made a cut rate to the Carnegie
! Steel company, for a vast volume of
its traffic. The Great Western railroad
made cut rate with the beef combi-
nation at st. Joseph for the transport
tation of its products. These two
cases are in the open but at the pres

another manner of rebates.
The Standard Oil company had its

fact that it was able to obtain special

An Alliance With Monopoly.

When it was heralded across the
country that Senator Hanna would, In
the Ohio state convention, antagonize
resolution endorsing Roosevelt, the
great rough rider from some mountain
top by wireless telegraphy, sent to
the senior senator the following mes
sage: "Dear Mark, do not stand In
the way, you know l am all right"
And Mark. giving expression to the
feeling of his heart answered back
with the same rapidity and by the
same course, the following telegram.
Tea, Lord thy will be done" These
men will not come in conflict with one
another. Why is it that the railroad
telegraph, and express companies have
more influence in the halls of lcgisla-
ton than the farmer? The answer is
readily had, they have more influence
in politics than the farmer. DO not
permit your great party to become
allied with men and institutions who
look at you purely and alone from the
position of gain.
Parties will obey your behests il you
but stand pat upon the proposition
of the right of the producer to rule.
One great party stands before you TO-
day and it prides itself Oh what it did
for the gold standard, contending that
every agency of nature and all the
prosperity we have today emanated
from it and it's legislation.
"The Money Question"
The God of the Universe it was, i'm
planted in the hills of the west. gold
and silver and in the east coal
and iron, and in all our country all the
materials that go to the progress and
elevation of our people. Was this in
reality, the work of the Republican
party?
Be true to yourselves, your homes
and your families and when men ask
you to stand pat" and say that last
years republican platform was
democratic harangue, and ask you to-
day to still keep in power this party,
be candid enough to ask them why they
are standing pat, and what does
standing pat" mean, and why shell
ter to monopoly" should be erased
from the platform, if the meaning OF
the present one is the same as the
platform of 1902? And ask them why
they are not in favor of legislation
opposing discrimination in freight
rates and why they believe that high
protective tariff is beneficial to the
producers of our country? And if
they point to the gold standard, then
ask them what is the meaning of asset
currency and the Aldrich bill. and in
whose interest is its passage being
demanded.
They say to you that the money
question is settled. and wish to keep
from your mind all reference to it. 1t

and the State have jointly appropriated
$4,000. 1t is proposed TO build two bar

CIRCUS PARADE
ATTRACTS CROWD

dren View the I'm
posing Spectacle.

AS the lions and the elephants and the
snake charmers and the brass bands and
the steam calliope and the thousand and
one other things that aAH included in the
makeup of the Ringing Circus passed
up Market street in an unbroken line
yesterday morning they were received
with cheers from the adult population
and cries of delight from the youngsters
who were there to welcome the turnout
1t was probably the best circus parade
that ever passed up Market street. There
was everything that goes to make
street procession the only thing in the
town while it passes up the chief street.
There was no hitch or delay, and the
army of human beings and wild animals
and other attaches went up the line to
get the glad salute and the joyous yell
from the multitude.
The street was lined with people long
before the parade appeared. AS usual,
every one wanted to get right in the
front line, and the policemen were sweat
ing for a while as they wrestled with the
eager youth and the nervous citizen in
the crowding throng.
After a while when the mob began to
get tired, a little music was heard in the
distance and around the corner from
Kearny street a bunch of ladies attired
in red coats and mounted on steeds of
then the big thing was at last a reality.
These striking g-looking horsewomen were
followed, as usual, by one of the bands
1t struck up a merry tune as soon as the
corner was rounded and then everybody
got ready.
The cages containing the lions. the
bears, the tigers. the camels and every
other known specimen of terrible beast
all passed up before the crowd for in
spection. Each vicious animal was chap
eroned by his trainer and small boys
gave vent to their admiration for the
man by the animal as the parade jour
neyed on.
The procession took nearly half an
hour to pass and the crowd enjoyed
every minute of the time. A circus pa
rade always arouses interest wherever it
goes. and it is bound to attract attention,
but it can safely be said that the Ring
ling parade is the most imposing ever
seen here.
Had Ringing Brothers added ten tiers
of seats to their canvas covered amphi-
theater last night the additional accom-
modations would not have been ample to
meet the requirements of the San Fran
cisco public that clamored for admission
to the show Thousands who had failed
to secure seats during the early part
of the day were last evening turned
away at the entrance Of the big tents

WOMEN DEMAND
SPEEDY TRIAL
Mrs. Martha E. Bowers
and Sister Arraigned
for Murder.

Mrs. Martha z. Bowers and her sister.
Mrs. Zylpha Sutton, were arraigned in
Police Judge Cabaniss court yesterday
morning on the charge Of murder and the
preliminary hearing was set for next
Monday afternoon at o'clock They are
jointly accused of administering arsenic
to Martin L. Bowers, husband of Mrs.
Bowers, thereby causing his death.
When the case was called the Judge
said he had been notified by the Coro-
ner's stenographer that the testimony
taken at the inquest last Saturday could
not be Transcribed before Monday. and
he suggested, in view of that fact, that
the matter be continued till that day.
Attorney Frank Drury, who appeared
with Attorney Charles A. Low for the
defendants, asked for a speedy trial The
defendants, he said, had been confined in
the City Prison for about two weeks and
they were now entitled to have the case
set for as early date as possible. They
were ready to proceed and he saw no
reason why any delay should be granted
because the Coroners stenographer did
not have the testimony taken at the in
quest Transcribed.
The Judge said that his calendar was
congested and he could not take up the
case before Monday. If the defendants
insisted upon their rights he would con-
tnue the case till tomorrow, SO as to
hear little of the evidence This would
put defendants to the inconvenience of
being brought into court.
Attorney Drury asked that the defend
ants be instructed and arraigned Mrs
Sutton listened intently to the reading
of the complaint by Clerk Fenton as she
stood beside him, but Mrs. Bowers ap-
peared Indifferent, and when asked her
true name she did not hear the clerk and
had to be prompted by her attorney. The
two tall women, dressed in mourning
made a striking appearance as they stood
together during the arraignment
After the arraignment District Attorney
Byington made a formal request for A
continuance till Monday. 1t was granted
with the reluctant consent of ATTORNEYS
Drury and Low.
The police are still searching for a mo-
tive and before the preliminary hearing
startling developments on that point NAV
take place. Patrick Lervey, who is sun
posed to be identified with the motive
has become taciturn and refuses to make
any further statements. He says he has
talked too much already and has been
advised to keep a still tongue.

ENDS HER LIFE
IN BRIDAL GARB
Mrs. Minnie During
Seeks Death After a
Quarrel.

While in a melancholy mood caused by
q quarrel with her husband, Mrs Minnie
During. the wife OF Herman During, an
employe at the ferry postofice, com
mitted suicide yesterday morning al her

ing Illuminating gas.
The unfortunate woman, who was 80
years old, was married about IS years ago
and she sought death garbed in the
white gown with which she had arrayed
herself when she became a wife. The
bridal veil, white gloves and handker-
chief also formed portion Of the robes
OF death.
The causes that prompted Mrs. During
10 end her life were OF a trivial nature.
During returned 10 his home on Monday
evening al a later hour than he was ex-
pected and the husband and wife had
angry words. After eating dinner, Dur
ing informed his wife that he intended
10 keep an engagement 10 attend a card
PARTY. A second quarrel followed and
During left the house HIS wife followed
him and a third quarrel ensued on the
streets, which was ended by During es-
corting his wife home.
III husband then went out and after
pIayIng cards with some friends came
home at midnight. He did not find his
wife in the rooms they occupied and see
ing that q pillow and two blankets were
missing from the bed, he presumed that
she was sleeping IN another apartment.
Yesterday morning During arose at 6
o'clock and proceeded TO his work He
cid not search for his wife, as he was
of the opinion that she was either in an
other room or had spent the night with
some friends.
About s. a little girl living in the house
detected the odor Of gas and informed
her mother. who occupied apartments on
The lower floor. A neighbor was called
in and the escaping gas was traced TO
q small room in the rear Of the apart
rneuts Of the Durings. The door was
locked on the inside and when IL was
broken open Mrs. During was found lying
cold IN death. She had taken four chairs
and a basket trunk and made tempor-
arv resting place, over which she had
enread two blankets and pillow. She
had removed her wedding ring from her
finger and placed il upon bureau and
after turning on the gas had laid down
In the improvised bed and calmly went
10 her end
The death Of Mrs. During was carefully
Investigated by Deputy Coroner McCor-
mick and Detective Harry Reynolds. and
both officers secuted the theory Of foul
play which gained rumor in the vicinity
of the During home When During was
informed Of his wife's tragic act, he was
distracted by grief and bitterly lamented
that he had had angry words with his
wife.
An autopsy held by DR.. Bacigalupi
showed that Mrs. During's death was
caused by carbon monoXice poisoning
following the inhalation Of Illuminating
gas.
