John M. Smith, president of the AL.

much time in the fields and says that
the conditions are perplexing. He
finds rust in almost every section that

An impartial summary leads tU thu
conclusion that the effect of the rust
on the crops west Of the valley is as
yet an unknown quantity, depending
largely on future weather conditions;
that the valley has been considerably
damaged: that much Of the grain is
practically out Of the way of injury,
and that late grain has to run to-
gauntlet of both rust and frost &.

AS the crop Of 1904 approaches ma.
turity there is disposition to hedge
on the sure-thing statements which
were made earlier in the season. It
is certain the crop in the valley is
from ten days to two weeks later than
usual; that the crop in the western
counties is earlier than that in the
valley; that there is some damage by
rust, and that this damage is greater
in the valley than farther west. Be.
yond this all seems guesswork. For

Sunday Saloons Will Be Legalized
In New York.

One Of the first things District
Attorney Jerome will ask the COM
ing Legislature to do is to pass bill
which he has tried three times to
make law. His bill contemplates
permitting the saloons Of this city to
remain open on Sunday from l
o'clock in the afternoon until Ii
o'clock at night. He says he'll fight
as hard for this legislation as he did
to have the Bowling gambling bill
passed, and he is hopeful of success
this time.
Speaking Of the matter to-day, he
said: ~ do not say it is in accord
ance with the Christian spirit of
keeping the Sabbath holy to have
the saloons open. But here we have
a law which says they shall be closed
and we cannot enforce 1t. The
political party that honestly tried to
keep the saloons closed and kept
them closed would be turned out of
power the next year."

Small Pox at Kingston.

that it will become entirely be-

it is feared that strict quaran-

The disease is mostly among
children and it is claimed that
several of them ran around the

that they had smallpox.
Many others were infected in
this manner and it is claimed now
that there are As cases in the viii

Rosevllle In Trouble,

Roseville, Ohio, November 20.--
For the past two weeks fires of in
cendiary origin have occurred
here, and it has been impossible to
learn anything regarding the mis-
creants until tonight.
At $3.50 tonight the general
store of the Roseville Store Com
pany was fred and an arrest i'm
mediately followed. The man ar.
rested refused to give his name,
Immediately following this the
barn of Jerry Creek, containing
two thoroughbred horses, was fired
and burned to the ground.
Citizens at 10 o'clock formed q
mob and threatened to lynch the
man arrested. Another fire start.
ed at 10 :45 p. m. in the barn OF
Mrs. Mcintyre, on Washington
street. Another arrest followed
The mob became furious. Mayor
Mangold, from the steps of the
Jail, pleaded with them to preserve
order. Mr.. Anderson, citizen,
across the street, mounted store
box and pleaded with those not in
hearing of the Mayor. Mayor
Mangold at 11:15 p. m. deputized
so citizens and they patrolled the
streets on horseback.
At 1 O'Clock another fire started,
but was soon extinguished. An
other arrest followed. The town
is greatly excited, Mayor Mangold
and his deputies are using every
precaution to prevent the mob
from lynching the three prisoners.
Their names cannot at this hour
be learned, but one is known to he
a local man.
The cause of this incendiarism
cannot be learned. 1t is thought
to be the work of an organized
gang for the purpose of robbery.
The loss to buildings tonight will
reach $4,000. Insurance very

Rebekah Convention.

The convention of the 58th. dis
trict of the Daughters of Rebekah
which was held at Logan on last
Friday afternoon and evening was
pronounced by all who attended,
as one of the best the district has
ever had. About twenty visitors
were present from other lodges,
and the Logan membership was
well represented both afternoon
and evening.
In the afternoon a short musical
and literary program was given
and the rest of the session was de-
voted to the transaction of busi-
ness matters. The delegates from
the different lodges in the district
gave most gratifying reports of
the work which is being done,
and all were said to be in good
condition for the coming year.
The election of officers for the
coming year was held, and the
following ones were chosen
President, Mrs. Ella Goss of
Pleasantville; V. President, Mrs.
j. t. Sanderson of Logan; Secret
ary, Miss Laura Ferguson of
Logan, and Treasurer, Mrs. W. ID.
Beeks of Canal Winchester. The
place chosen for the next conven-
tion is Crooksville, the time being
next November.
At the evening session, Mrs.
Ida Walton of Norwalk, O.,
President of the Ohio Rebekah
Assembly, gave an interesting and
instructive talk on the practical
work of the order. The rest of
the evening was given to social
time, and was one of the most en-
joyable parts of the days program,
Refreshments were served, and the
visitors carried away
with them the remembrance of a
day enjoyably and profitably
spent among fellow workers in the
order.

rank and file of the party that
Senator Cockrell fell with the
national ticket and received the
shaft that was aimed at the reorgani-
zers. If the Missouri democrat who
neglected to vote had thought the
senator in danger they would have
been present at the polls, but they
did not carry the process of reason
ing far enough to estimate the full
effect of their course.
Folk of Missouri had lead enough
to escape but his majority is woefl-
ly short of what it should have been
and he too would have suffered
defeat but for the number of votes
which he drew from the republican
party.
There Is les son, however, to be
drawn from the indiscriminate suf-
fering which is party mistake
causes. 1t teaches the necessity of
active aud earnest work on the part
OF those who would make the demo-
cratic party deserving of success.
If the penalty fell only upon the
guilty there VIC uld be less.care taken
to put the party right and keep it
right. But when the whole party
must bear the blame for>ths action Of
these who obtain control, the men,
bers of the partyw no desire to make
the organization effective i'm behalf
of reform, are forced to be ever upon
the alert.
Let the experience of 1904 be a
warning for the future. Let the
work Of organization begin today in
order that the party may regain at
the first opportunity the ground that
has been lost. The house of repre-
sentatives can be changed two years
from now, and first steps can then
be taken toward winning the senate.
Without elimination or recrimina-
tion, let the members of the party
begin at once the work of making
the party positive reform in force
in the county. A great reverse has
been suffered by the party-the
worst since the war-let it be turned
to advantage, as far as may be by
utilizing the lessons which it teac hes.

decision as to the legality of watch
ers appointed by the Supreme court
on the election commission.
The points were hotly argued
Wednesday and the decision is in
doubt. Both parties have hundreds
afidavits attesting to illegal voting.
The Republicans are said to control
the Supreme court on the election
contest. The canvassing board in

is idle, and this creates much dis.
satisfaction.
Governor-elect Admas said:
1T is all foolishness to think that

all interests are protected. The in
terests of labor and capital are iden-
tical, and and it Is my hope that 1
may be able to bring them closer
together.

was not bothering much over the
election contest.

government that honest elections
should be conducted" he said.
The Democrats charge that the
Republicans bought registration
clerks and fraudulently registered
between 10000 and 5000 names on
Capital hill and that they voted
between 5000 and 5000 names by
repeaters. Democrats also allege
expenditure of thousands of dollars,
intimidation of voters and coercion
of voters employed by the state.

Sharing the Punishment.

The members of party stand or
fall together. AS the rain descends
upon the just and the unjust alike; (;
as cyclone visits the homes of the
righteous as well as thu homes OF
unrigteous SO political calamities
bear with equal severity upon all
members of the party organization.
II party does wrong the punish.
ment that follows is not confined to
those who are guilty of the wrong
but is visited upon all who:represent
the party.
Eight years ago the democratic
party put its hands to the plow ard
began the work of reform. Defeat
dampened the ardor of some in 1900
but still the party continued to cal
tiyate the seed sown in 1896. Again
the season was unpropitious and by
1904 there were enough discouraged
to turn the party organization over
to those who had not been in full
sympathy with the party's purpose
This partial abandonment of the
cause of reform aroused wide-
spread resentment "a resentment
more extended than was generally
suspected. Even the republicans
with their perfect organization and
their repeated polls underestimated
the protest that was in preparation.
The storm which unnoticed by
editors and public speakers, was
constantly gathering force. broke on
election day and created havoce
everywhere. 1t was not directed
against the reorganizers alone, but
it hit pronlscously all who were
idetified with the party In an official
way. These who had tried to
prevent the reorganization of the
party went down in the general
wreck with those who were con-
spicuous in leading the party astray
in nearly all--if not all-the states

ticket. To this extent there was
discrimination against the national
