Carolina, says: 1.-THE Orthomonic
would inform Mr.. Simmons it Is not
Mr.. Bryan that will control the next
National Democratic Convention-but
the great Democratic principles in the
Kansas City platform. The battle of
1904 will be a conflict between true
Democracy and plutocracy. In this
battle there is no middle ground. 1t
is not the election of the noble states
man from the western city which bears
the name OF Lincoln, 30 much as IL is

General Nelson A. Miles has been
the object of no small amount OF abuse
because he reported conditions and
facte touching the conduct of the
United States army in the Philippine
Islands, and some even 60 so far as TO
cause one TO infer that the General
went there on his own motion for the
purpose Of crisicising the administra-
ton, but the fact is that he was sent
there by President Roosevelt, under
instructions. But the veteran of the
civil war, who saw service also against
the Indians and during the Cuban war,
q stand all the abuse and m%isrepre-
sentation which the politicians for
reveuue only can give. The people
have faith in General Miles, and will
sustain him.-Elhader (Ia.) Democrat.

THEY HAD "FORGOTTEN.' >
So Jointist Rains Is Acquitted of
Selling Liquor.

The jury in the district court Tuesday
afternoon found speed" Rains not
guilty of the charge of selling liquor.
The case was brought against Rains
in 1900 by Assistant Attorney General
ReddeE. The warrant was issued for him
but before it was served Rains left town
for parts unknown. Later Rains wife
was sick and he asked his attorneys to
secure an armistice in hostn1ties from
Redden so he could get through the lines
and return to Topeka to see his wife
Redden agreed but stated that if Rains
remained in Topeka any length of time
he would be arrested Rains tarriea
in Topeka too long and Redden issued
another warrant for him but before 1t
could be served Rains again left town
and escaped arrest for the second time
No one has intimated that Rains was
twice warned of the warrants being out
against him 1t was mental telepathy-
when Rains was finally secured. two
wears after the case was brought, the
witnesses had forgotten" about him
selling LIQUOR.

Crescents Win Again.

The Crescents played all around the
Gordon basket ball team last evening
and won by score of % to 12. The
game was hotly contested by the visit
ors and had the locals not played ball at
all times the result might have been
different. The first half ended with the
score Ia to in favor Of the Crescents.
The second half opened with terrific
playing and passing and the audience
became enthusiastic. The spurt of the
Schuylkill county boys was short-lived,
however. and they succeeded in scoring
only four baskets, while the locals had
seven for the half. The points were IA
to8.
The final score was: Crescents, %;
Gordan, ~. Davis had one basket,
O'Donnell and Jacquot two each, Welsh
three and Nowak six. The latter shot
for a basket during the second half
which played him trick. The ball
rolled around the cage and stopped for a
second or two on the edge and finally
fell out. Dr. Cope refereed the game.
