BATE TRIAL RESUMED.

Chicago, H., Nov. 30.-It is prob
able that the investigation into the
mystery surrounding the murder of
William Bate, who was shot and
killed and his body left in an auto
mobile at a lonely spot on Archer
road two weeks ago, will prove one
of the most sensational cases in the
history of the police records of this
city. The case was continued today
and ever since the jury was first en-
panelled several days ago, the coro-
ner and police have been searching
for evidence that would lead to the
conviction Of the murderer. j. W.
Bate, father of the dead chauffeur,
declares that his son had no love af-
fairs and scouts the idea that an
ENHANCEMENT of this sort might have
led to the murder. The police are
proceeding on the belief that two
murders were committed and that
Bate was killed to conceal the first
murder.

Terribly Bruised and
Mangled.

six o'clock the Thirteenth Street
crossing of the Pennsylvania Rail
road was the scene of another fatal
accident. the second within less than
a months time. The victim yester-
day morning was Albert Sieweke,
aged Is and an employe Of the rail
road.
Sieweke was a train caller, work
ing at night and at the time he was
Killed he was nearly ready to go off
duty. The unfortunate man was
riding out into the yards on the pl-
lot of an engine and when the Thir-
teenth street crossing was reached
in some inexplicable manner ! he
lost his hold on the engine and fell
forward on the tracks while the en-
gine on which he was riding, going
at fair rate Of speed, ran over the
PROSTATE man as he lay on the rails.
The engineer did not realize that
Sieweke had fallen off at first and
could not have prevented the acci-
dent even had he noticed him pitch
forward from the pilot, as the en-
CINE ran over the body of the victim
almost instantly after he had fallen.
When the engine crew and some 9th
err by ISLANDERS reached the body they
found Sieweke dead and it is the
opinion that death resulted instant

crushed and one foot severed. The

will come as a great shock to his
many friends. On Sunday, October

run over by an engine and instantly
killed while at work sweeping the
crossing. ~s.

AIDED THE REPUBLICANS
In Rolling Up the Enormous Plur-
ality of e3,994-Despite the In
crease in Population.

That the enormous Republican
plurality of 93,994 for Roosevelt in
Indiana this year is in large measure
due to Democrats that voted the Re-
publican ticket is apparent from a
comparison of the vote in Indiana
in recent years. For istance there
were 35,239 fewer Democratic votes
this year than there were in 1900,
despite the increase in the population
Of the State, which under ordinary
conditions would increase the total
Democratic vote somewhat On the
other hand the total Republican vote
this year was 3S,226 greater than it
was in 1900.
In 1900 the Democratic vote for
president was about 1000 greater
htan it was in 1896, while the Repub-
lican votes howed an increase in 1900
over 1896 OF a little more than i, :
900. Both parties showed gains, the
Republicans the greater gains. But
in 1904 all the gain was in the Re
publican column, and the loss IN the
| Democratic column.
Indication of Stay y-at-Home Vote.
Taking another basis of comparl-
son one finds that the total vote OF
all parties for president in Indiana
in 1900 was 26,795 greater than il
was in 1896, while in 1904 the in
crease in the total vote over 1906
was only 1861. Here is a marked
falling off in the rate Of increase OF
the total vote. and this is an indica
tion either of a check IN the growth
Of population or a stay-at-hon'
vote. probably the latter, for from
1890 TO 1900 the average yearl,
growth of population in Indiana wa
32.405 and there is no good reason
TO conclude that there was not
similar growth from 1900 to 1904. I
would seem, then, that the total vot
this year, if there had not bee
many stay-at- homes, would hav
ibeen from 10000 to 1900 create
THAN it was.
1t would not be far off to estimat
| that from three to four voters to
precinct stayed at home Noyembe
s and probably the big majority c
them were Democrats.

GOOD GAS WELL
Is the Well No. of Cambridge City
Oil Company.

The Cambridge City Oil Company,
experimenting in Hagerstown, in
well No. 2, find the well to be good
gas we'll and will in time recompense
the company for its outlay.
Whether any other company wil
put down wells in Hagerstown is not
known. Some experienced oil men
from the Kansas field have looked
over the ground, and they proposed
TO organize a company with local
representatives and sink a number
Of wells. It is the opinion, how
ever, that the dream of Hagerstown
being in the, oil belt will never be
realized.

How to Learn to Swim

There is no need for so much fuss about
learning to swim. 1t is no trick at all.
Once you have learned that the water
will bear you up you cannot help swim
ming, for every movement you make i'll
the water is swimming. Every unweight-
human being who browns, himself out of
pure fear.
How car you acquire this confidence?
Not by going through the motions on the
dry land; not by a strap around the chest.
or corks or inflated ~rigamajigs. Being
tossed in where the water is "over your
head and hands, we have agreed to bar.
How shall we go att gently and reason
ably? I'll tell you. Begin in still water.
Wade out until your shoulders are COW
cred. There's no use pudding and palter-
ing with any less. Squat a little, and get
yourself wet all over. Now your "pinch"
is over. Get your breath, and let's talk
a while. Don't imagine you are drown
ing when the water gets into your ears.
1t is not SO terrible as it sounds. Even
if a little Stops into your nose, it is silly to
make a fuss. 1t won't hurt you. Ittakes
a lot Of water to drown a person, and you
will soon learn to eject what gets into the
nose without having to stop swimming.
Wade out just a little further until it is up
to your chin. Lift your chest, and keep
it expanded, breathing with the abdomin-
al muscles as if you were singing. Stretch
your arms out to form the letter T. Hollow
in your back and stiffen your spinal col
umn as if you were a person Of some i'm
portance. Lean your head back until
only a little patch around your nose and

There! You are floating. If now you

Good Work of Suction Dredge.

Good Work of Suction Dredge.
Recent soundings in the Delaware River
channel through Cherry Island Flats show
that the average depth there has been
increased by the Government dredging
operations from 10 feet. about a year ago,
to "a feet at the present time. This work
was done in part by the suction dredge
Cape Fear, which worked in that part of
the river last year, and by the suction
dredge Cumberland, which has been
dredging there since the beginning of the
present season.
The dredge Cumberland, which made
a record last week in scooping 4001 cubic
yards off the river bottom, will continue
work Oh the flats at intervals during the
summer, and Major J. G. Sanford, the
engineer in charge of the river work,
anticipates having a considerably deeper
channel at that place before the winter
necessitates the discontinuance of the
harbor improvement work.
During the winter and the spring fresh
cts a considerable quantity of light mud al
ways settles on the river bed. This is
easily stirred up, and at the start this sea-
son it was found that this mud would be
sucked into the receiving bins in the
shape OF Shiny mass, which refused to
settle to the bottom of the hold, but would
overflow through the water holes in the
side of the vessel back into the river. In
this way considerable time was lost. All
this surface mud has now been removed,
and the dredging is of solid material,
which settles readily and makes a firm
| cargo.

THE MOST ORIGINAL
NOVEL OF THE YEAR

The most competent judges have pro-
nounced GIN the Bishops Carriage" the
most original novel of the year.
1t is a tale about flesh aud blood peo-
pie; a story for men and women.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, Speaker of the
National House of Representatives, is
most enthusiastic in his praise of Miss
Miriam Michelson's book. This is what
he has to say about it.:
IL am il receipt of a copy of In the
Bishops Carriage by Miriam Nicholson.
| read the same with great pleasure. 1t
seems to me it ought to be a popular pub
LEGATION and one that will exert a good in
1uence. Perhaps | can best describe it
by saying that | commenced reading it
early in the morning and finished it that
night and the coming morning, and when
finished [ drew a long breath and felt
that had forgotten everything else but
the book and regretted that there was not
more of it. With respect, etc.
~. G. CANNON"
Could anything be stronger or could
praise come from a better source?
The story is something absolutely new
in the literary line-a theatrical romance
that aboundsi in thrilling situations inter-
woven with genuine humor and human
heart-burnings. In fact, the tale is so re-
markably good that the Sunday North
American of Philadelphia has secured the
exclusive right to publish it in this terri
tory, and will print the first instalment
next Sunday, June 26, with illustration
worthy of the story.
Miss Nicholson, the author, has been
for several years a successful and much
admired writer of newspaper and maya
zine articles.

Bryan In New York.

A large and enthusiastic mass meet
ing was held in New York City Mon
day night to protest against the NOM
ination of Judge Parker for President
by the Democratic convention. The
principal speaker was William j. Bry-
an who said:
81 believe, according to statistics, the
platform upon which l ran in 1900 re-
ceived in this State 124, 900 votes more
than Parker received the last time he
was a candidate for Office in this State.
And therefore 1 think | am entitled to
say that l have some evidence that the
doctrines that we cherish in the West
are not so unpopular in New York
State as some would have you believe.
II want to give you my reasons why
Judge Parker should not be nominated.
l am opposed to his nomination for two
general reasons. First, because | be-
lieve he would be a very weak candi-
date, and, second, if he were elected
President he would be a great disap-
pointment to those who believe in Dem
ocratic principles"
"My objection to Judge Parker's
candidacy is that he goes before the
country on a platform that means moth
ing-a cowardly straddlers' platform
that can only appeal to towards and
straddlers, and Democrats are not cow
ards or Straddlers."
In regards to candidates he said: II
shall not attempt to decide between the
availability of Mr.. Hearst and the hun
dredS of those who could be mentioned
as representatives of the rights of the
people and against organized wealth."
