GIVE US HARMONY.

II might be suggested to some of
the well-meauing Republicans and
Republican papers in the state, that
Republican victories are not won,
and Republican efforts not benefited
by petty squabbles among Republi-
cans. The Democratic party might
be held up as bright and shining
example Of what happens when inferi-
or, selfish men lose sight of the prin-
ciples of their party in their foolish
effort to put themselves above the in
terest of their party.
What the Republicans in the city,
county, district and state want is peace
and harmony, not strife. 1t is time
to relegate all disorganizers, soreheads
and trouble breeders to the rear. The
Republicans Republicans. to be
more exact-consider their party above
any man or set of men, and only
the best and most trustworthy men
should be, or be placed, in control of
the party. This, of all times, is not
for the election or appointment of
men who are trying to disorganize
and create discord. A presidential
election is almost upon us. While
there is reasonable certainty of Re
publican success at the polls, there is
no use in being 90 certain, and at any
rate it will do no good to disrupt the
party on the eve of an important cleo
ton. 1t is time for Republicans to
dispense with the disturbers in the
party.

This morning at 1915 O'Clock the
fire department was called to the
Shelton foundry to extinguish q small
blaze in the boiler rooms.
The fire was discovered by the Lack

LIVELY RUNAWAY
ICE WAGON TURNS OVER ON A
MULE.

One of the Robertson Ice 90. teams
ran away with an ice wagon this
morning, starting at the ice factory
at First and Broadway AMI stopping
on North Third street. One mule got
under the wagon in some way and it
was at first thought he was dead, but
later the mule was revived and proved
to be only skinned and bruised. The
mule was taken out Of harness and
will be left to mend during the next
few weeks. The wagon escaped with
slight damages. The driver was not in
his seat when the mules started and
no one succeeded in stopping the
frightened animals until the wagon
was turned over on one.

the most hazardous ON earth. Insur-

only to be "gouged." So whatever
the poor policy holder asks for, he
usually gets.

JAP OFFICERS EXECUTED.
Admitted That They Were Seeking to
 Destroy Bridge.

St. Peters burs, Aday lo.-Details have been received here from Harbin regard ing the execution April 2l of the two Japanese officers, Yu Koka and Oki. for attempting to dynamite bridges and des- troy teIegraph communication on the Eastern China railway.
 The prisoners admitted they were part of a detail numbeEing 100 men, wnose purpose 1t was to destroy the railway at various points. When told that they must have been extremely brave people, they replied: Not at all; we were only carrying out our duty and the order of the Mlkado."
 Both prisoners were executed April 31 between the new and old towns of liar bin, in the presence of large crowd. They were shot instead of being hanged. upon order of General Kuropatkin. A strong guard was thrown about the spot to hold back the public at a distance of 400 yards. No photographs were allowed to be taken.
 The younger prisoner refused to allow the bandaging of his eyes. When told it was necessary. according to Russian law, he asked that an exception be made in his favor. The elder Japanese, a staff officer, wept and fainted, but finally allowed himself to be blindfolded calmly. One of the men was a Catholic and made his last confession to a Russian priest. there being no representative Of the Catholic priesthood in Harbin.
