was 81, 2Os 1928. In 1900 it's population
was 433, 8so and the assessed valuation OF
its property $3.50, 1884 $50. These two
counties, in other words, contain over
one-half the population and two-thirds
of the wealth of our entire State, and
their growth, both in wealth and popula-
ton, has been relatively greater than that
of any so-called commercial rivals.
Taking 1850 as the year when the canal
was in it's prime, its tonnage of 1886 s9
in that year was TO the city of New York.
with population of $4,000, and to the

a vastly more important matter than was
little more than the same tonnage in 1902,
with six-fold increase in population and
proportonate valuation in these cities.

And tho Remarks Of tho Principal About

A warm day and Roman Catholic feast
coming to gether last Thursday have caused
a little religious trouble in Public School
40, on East Thirty-eighth street. In the
Catholic church Ascension Thursday is a
holy day Of obligation on which it is inoum-
bent upon all Catholics to attend mass.
When the school bell sounded assembly
at Q o'clock the principal, the teachers,

SO was everybody in fact but the pupils.
There were few Of these present, and James

his large corps OF assistants and the
shrlnken attendance Of his pupils in the
main hall and expressed his mind freely
on the subject Ct b religions enthu sn,pn

were very angry at Mr.. Pettigrew's re-

MIR. Foraker's Reply to Mr.. Hanna

MIR. FOraker's Reply to MT. Hanha
The reasons publicly stated by Senator
HANNA of Ohio in explanation OF his
present attitude are two in number.
They are both respectable and worthy OF
serious consideration by all the Repub-
Leans Of that State.
Mr.. HANNA opposes the adoption of
Roosevelt resolution by the convention
next week, first, because, as he says, " it
does not appear to me to be entirely
proper for this convention to assume the
prerogative Of the one to be chosen in
1904, and upon which one will rest the
responsibility Of representing and ex-
pressing the sentiment in our State for
any candidate This is merely the state
ment OF broad, sound and general,
although not invariably accepted, prin-
ciple of political procedure.
Secondly, Mr. HANNA refers to his own
position as chairman Of the Republican
National Committee. This reason for
declining to advocate premature dec
laration in favor Of any one candidate
for the Presidential nomination next
year is legitimate and sufficient, although
it applies more particularly to Mr. HANNA
himself than to his party brethren.
In an interview designed to counteract
the force Of the foregoing statement. Sem
ator FORAKER artfulyan adroitly dilutes
the reasons really offered by Mr.. HANNA
by combining with them certain further
arguments against Endorsement, pre-
sented not by Mr.. HANNA but by less
conspicuous opponents of the policy Of
Endorsement, such as State Senator
PATTERSON and others. Some Of these
Ohio Republicans have objected that
Mr.. ROOSEVELT is quite capable OF per-
petrating some tremendous blunder
between now and the National Conven-
ton of 1904 which would make him an
impossible candidate and thus leave the
Ohio Republicans in ridiculous position
if they had already Endorsed him. that to
indorse the President now would be to
weaken the organizations prospects, OF
getting patronage, and that Mr.. RoosR-
WELT, anyway. is less popular with Ohio
Republicans than Senator HANNA or
Senator FAIRBANKS Of Indiana.
1t is to these trivialities that Mr.. FORA
KER chiefly addresses himself in the in
terview which he gave out on Sunday;
and he shapes his remarks in such q
manner that, without directly misrepre-
senting his junior colleague he produces
the impression in the minds OF perhaps
nine out Of ten readers that the foolish
and frivolous pretexts he discusses are
Mr.. HANNA's.
That is not the case. Mr.. HANNA has
said nothing for publication about his
view Of the prospect Of political suicide
by President ROOSEVELT before the
National Convention assemblies. He has
said nothing whatever about Federal
patronage in Ohio in connection with
the question Of a long distance indorse-
ment He has certainly expressed no
opinion on the comparative popularity
of the President and himself in Ohio.
1t is proper and just to distinguish
clearly between the Hon. MARCUS
ALoNZo HANNA's actual position and the
position which the Hon. JOSEPH BENSON
FORAKER vigorously attacks with 80
fine show of enthusiasm in President
RooSEvELT'S interest.

NOW, WHO'LL LICK DONOHUE,
Alderman Who whips Wife-Beaters Arrested

WILKEs-BARRE. Pa, May 25.--An idol Of
women and the terror Of wife-beate rs has
fallen. Alderman Donohue of this city,
famous for thrashing wife. beaters hailed

assaulting his own wife, was carried to the
station house wearing fewer clothes than
modesty requires and later held by Mayor
Price under $500 bail.
His wife, who has a black eve. appeared
to testify against him. The trouble arose
over the wife's protest against the Alder
man reading at a late hour by gaslight,
for which she says he does not pay.
Donohue has letters from societies and
persons all over the world commencing
his violent but effective treatment OF
wife.beaters.

Held a Post Mortem.

There was some little doubt as to
what actually caused the death Of
Sheriff Geo. H. Brooks and to settle
the question a ~post-naortem examina-
tior was held Monday morning,
which was attended by Drs. B. "A.
Bohb, W. e. Crane, r. W, Freyberg
and W. R. Ball. DR.. Bobb stated
that an abscess was found at the
base Of the BRAIN, where the pus
was making a pressure. and which
originated from a disease in the ear.
He stated that--.the pressure at the
base Of the brain would result in
death much sooner than at any other
part. There was some doubt at the
time Of Mr.. Brooks death as to
whether death was due from the alb
scess or a hemorrhage.

Services Were Impressive.

Services Were Impressive.
Monday afternoon the Methodist
church was crowded to its utmost
capacity by the friends Of the late
Geo. 81. Brooks, who came to pay
their last tribute to a man who. in
life: possessed every attribute of hon
or and integrity toward mankind.
The remains were escorted from the
residence OF Luther PIotner to the
Methodist church by members Of the
40. o. w, Red Men and fire de-
partment, to which he was attached
in life. At the church seats were
reserved for members of the orders,
and for the county officers, who closed
their offices during the afternoon.
and with the county commissioners
attended the services in a body.
The floral tributes that were sent
covered the casket over, and these
silent but beautiful messengers told
OF a love and reverence that sympa-
thizing friends had for the deceased.
Aside from friends flowers were sent
by the A. O. q. W., Red Men, the
fire department. and the w. @. T. u,
Of which Mrs. Brooks is a member.
The services were conducted by
Rev. T. H. Youngman, and he deliv-.
cred an address that was both sympa-
thetic and helpful. At the close of
his address Presiding Elder c. E.
Hager reao a brief sketch of the. life
of the deceased, and referred in feel
ing terms of the life and character Of
MIN. Some appropriate music was
furnished by Mrs. q. A. Bliss,
Miss Myrtle T%illotson, and Messrs.
Frank Olson and Fred Kratz.
The following acted as pail bear

IStewart, Of Westbrooke, Mimi, ar

There is much sadness in the death
lOf Geo. Brooks. He has been a stud
ious, hard working citizen and was
fast gaining a competence and was
providing himself with a home in the
city, having bought a residence on
west Third street, which he intended
to occupy about the middle OF Feb
ruary. He intended to have a sale
OF his property and then move to
town to make his home in the future.
Mr.. Brooks was a well preserved man
for his age, and he was not so old
but what there were many years OF
usefulness left for him, and life had
much happiness yet in store for him.
But this was cut off at a time when
he was just ready to enjoy it with
his family surrounding him. Mu
sympathy is expressed to Mrs. Brooks
and her two sons in this their houl
of great bereavement. The Republican
editor has always had a very ..higt

NUMBER IS.

there have been no strangers at the
Sheriff Brooks Saturday afternoon.
Sully's friends evidently figured that
this would be the best time to effect
his escape, inasmuch as things would
naturally be quieter around the jail.
Immediately on the discovery of
the escape OF the prisoners telephone
messages were sent out as far as pos
1sible, and this morning information
was sent to all points along the
Missouri river, as it was thought
possible that Sully would make his
way to his haunts on the Sioux
reservation.
Jack Sully is one of the most no.
ltorious cattle rustlers on the Sioux
reservation. Fol a good many years
he has lived over there and made a
great deal of money from robbbing
the settlers of their cattle. He
carried his business on a gigantic
scale. and it was no trick for him to
run off from 80 to 100 head Of cattle
and drive them cut of the country
until he could reach a market for
them.
Numberless efforts have been made
to arrest him, but they have proven
fruitless until last summer. 1t
seems that he was as free to roam
over the reservation without fear of
arrest, as an honest nan. During
the trial Of other cattle rustlers in
Lyman county last year 1T was de-
termined that if it was a possible
thing that Sully should be brought to
Justice. Judge Smith issued a bench
warrant for Sully and it was placed
in the hands of Sheriff Swindler Of
this county.
Although Sully escapd arrest ait
the time he was finally caught at
Verdigree, Neb., where he, had
shipped some cattle. Sheriff Swind-
Ter then went down there and got is
man and took him back to Lyman
county. The Jail facilities were in
adequate at Oacoma and Sully was
brought to Mitchell for safe keeping.
Since he has been here Sully has
been very quiet, and seemed cheerful
all along. He declared to people who
have called at the Jail that he had
|rustled himself intojail and that he
did not have the slightest doubt but
what he would rustic himself out
again. Jack was as good as his word,
and doubtlessly he has gone to a re-
treat where it will practically be i'm
possible to find him.
Baer, the other party in the jail,
was sent here from Alexandria a
short time ago to serve out a sem
tence imposed by Judge Smith during
circuit court for breaking into a
saloon at Fulton. He had but a
short time to remain. and it is
thought strange that he would take
advantage OF the opprtunity to get
away at this time. 1t is thought
that il Baer can be located that he
might give some clue to Sully's where
abouts. 1t is understood that an
other Indictment is hanging over
Baer, which was to be used against
him when he had served his term.
Baer, it was reported, was to
be released from Jail Within a day or
two, and that the Indictment that
was against him had been settled by
the parties in Fulton who had with
drawn their charges and would not
prosecute him under an agreement
that he was to leave the country with
his people when they would leave in
a short time. 1t is very possible that
Sully compelled Baer to go along to
prevent his giving away anything
connected with the flight.
