FUS|ON|STS

Judge Holbrook of Alamosa who
came in Thursday evening from his
"trip into the southern country. was
seen by Herald reporter before he
left for home, and asked further about
tile Coneios county situation, and de-
liyered himself as follows: Fusion
was as popular in Conejos county a
few years ago as was Organism. but
since the tendency has been to build
up "A faction of the Democratic party
in the county and wreck the Republi-
can party, many thoughtful people of
both parties are taking position
against fusion"
But why should the other counties
hurl so much rldieule at Conejos coun-
ty when there is bigger game in the
state at which to shoot"
The criminal organization in Den
yer which styles itself the Democratic
party, with a Republican faction tied
onto H. as n tail to a kite. is many
times worse than Conejos county fu.
sion. II is the most gigantic machine
of fraud and corruption that ever ex-
listed In any country in any age in all
earth's history. 1t is the elimination
and ultimate result of all the intern
al councils and wicked inventions of
Satan and the other fallen angels from
the time when Lucifer folded his
wings, stepped off the mercy seat took
the name of Dragon and assumed com
mand OF the rebelious angels in the
war in heaven, down through the cen
tnries to the present time. If Bon
ynge's bill shall not pass. congress and
become a law, this criminal organiza-
ton may hold the good people of Den
yer in its Satanic grasp until Cab
riel's trumpet wakes the sleepir 2
dead and doubtless many of the down
trodden taX-ridden, much-abused peo-
pie of Denver would welcome the
sound of the trumpet today. for the re-
lief which u would bring.
Why not the balance of you train
your guns for a while on the wicked
city and give Conejos county respite?

much worse Shoot the anti t,il on

LADIES SEE LITTLE
BALL GO AROUND


Two ladies who have travelled ex-
tensively and have been spending a
few days in Durango, added to their
experience last night by visiting the
El Moro saloon. The gentleman es-
cort was reinforced by Marshal Wick
line. They wanted to see the little
ball go around" Their whim was
certainly gratified, for the games were
with close interest as the little ball
went round and round and the money
piled high on the numbers. changed
hands. There was pretty stif game
the roulette wheel to the faro lay
out. They declared the latter game
to be much more the interesting of
the TWO. After watching this awhile
Mr. Wickline asked them if they want
ed TO sec the poker game but they
said they had seen poker before, and
it did not interest them. AS usual,
there was large crowd in the saloon
and the loungers and loafers watched
the women with an much interest as
the women watched the games.
They did not venture to play any
themselves, being content merely TO
watch the others.
They will have novel experience
to- relate to their friends when they
get back home.

He didn't have the faults that mar
That horseless horse the auto-car.
He wasn't painted red or green,
He didn't smell Of gasoline,
He didn't terrorize the road,
Collide with fences or explode.
But otherwise, | grieve to state.

Once gave it to the tribes of men.
What is this thing, an Egg, you ask?

The Egg was used and still alive
AS late as 1905.
1t happened somewhat thus, you see:
Throughout the nineteenth century
The Hen was under contract pay
To furnish Eggs from day to day.

For though | dote ON ancient wine,

PEACE MADE WITH REBELS.
Uruguayan Government Now Has
war Claims to Face.

Buenos Ayres, Sept. 28.-Confrma-
ton has been received here of the re-
port of the conclusion of peace between
the Uruguayan government and the
revolutionists under General Munoz.
In explanation of the government forces
surprising the insurgent camp, it ap-
pears that notification of tho recent
rupture of peace negotiations was COM
municated to Fernandez, a revolution
ary political leader, but not to those
under arms; and up to the mon ent
of the unexpected attack by the gov
eminent forces, the commanders OF
the rebels had not been informed that
rupture of negotiations had taken
place. The fact becoming known that
the revolutionists were not actively
hostile led to tho resumption of con-
ferences. with the result that terms of
peace we're agreed upon.
There is general rejoicing here and
in Uruguay over the outcome. 1t is
expected thao claims will be presented
by diplomatic representatives of foreign
governments for damages and losses to
foreign residents to the amornt of sev-
eral million dollars, and the financial
outlook is, conseque ntly. gloomy.

ARE AGITATED.
Continued Discussion of Fill
pinO Is Harmful.
REVOLUTION BEING PREACHED
Speeches Of Anfis are Made Texts
for Fiery Editorials - Report
of General wright.

Washington, Sept. 28.-President
Roosevelt is in receipt of letter from
Luke E. Wright, governor of the Phil
ippines. in which the governor discuss-
es frankly some of the conditions which
he encountered in directing the govern
ment of the islands. Under date OF
August 10, General Wright wrote in
part as follows:
"The effect of the continued discus
sion of the capability of the Filipino
for self government is having its effect
here, and makes our task more difficult
than it otherwise would be. Unless
man is equipped with intelligence and
those qualities which make for good
citizenship, the more easily can he be
persuaded that he is the possessor OF
all these qualities. These people have
their full share of reckless. half-formed
characters who are ready for intrigue
in any direction which promises them
profit or power. It is this class which
has largely given force and direction
to the Aglipayan movement, and has
rec1 uited it's ranks from the ignorant
and dangerous elements.
''In this general connection, I may
say to you as matter of information
that the agitation in the United States
for Filipino Independence, and the
spoken and written utterances of prom
inent men who are urging it, are all
brought here and published in the
native newspapers and are being mace
the text for editorials insisting that
the Filipinos are now ready to become
an Independent nation.
"The effect of all this is distinctly
injurious. It's tendency is to renew
the the influence of old insurrection
leaders and make them active in preach
ing the old propaganda. This, in
turn, has the effect of demoralizing
and weakening the more conservative
and thoughtful Filipinos, who fear if
they speak out as they really think thew
would be considered the enemies of
their people and lose their prestige with
them. Those of the more prominent
and best educated class, and who, nat
urally, have Their ambitions, are in
clined to join in the general cry"

UNIONS FEAR WAR.
Large Plants are Adopting "Open
Shop" Policy.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-The opening of
the plants of the International Har-
vester company and the Pullman COM
pany on the "open shop" basis, free
from labor union regulations, has
alarmed Chiago labor leaders.
The fact that I 900 union men will
ingly returned to work for the big har-
vester company. under the new condi-
tions, is admitted to presage disruption
of thei1 unions.
Fear is expressed that the recent de-
feats of labor unions, and the 1educ-
tions obtained in wages, may be fol-
lowed by many other large concerns.
That grave crisis is felt in labor
union affairs seems to be certain from
the failure of the sto; kyards, the ma
strikes. All these walkouts have re-
suited disastrously for the union men
and women. In addition to this, the
following companies have reduced
their wage scale and established the
open shop:
Inland Steel company, Illinois Steel
company, Republic Iron & Steel COM
pany, and concerns in the Chicago
Metal Trades association. After being
closed down since September Is, the
car shops OF the Pullamn company re-
opened with a force of 1000 men, out
OF total of 1000, who agreed to ac-
cept cut of 10 to 20 per cent in theil
pay.
The union leaders are inclined to lay
the blame on ''lack of proper organiza-
tion," and government officials for fos-
tering the policy of the "open shop"
by their action in the case of employees
of the Cover nment printing bureau.

VeSUVIUS VERY VIOLENT.
Curious Tourists kept Back From
Danger with Difficulty.

Danger with Difficulty.
Naples, Sept. 28.-The eruption of
Vesuvius continues to increase in force,
and is now more violent than any time
since 1872. Red hot stones are hurled
to . height of 900 feet, falling down
the fanks of the mountain with deaf
ening sound.
The director Of the observatory says
that between o'clock this morning
and O'Clock this afternoon his instlu-
ment registered 1874 violent explo-
sions, and that one stone thrown out
weighed about two tons. Lava flowing
from the crater has melted the metal
of the Funicular railway, and destroyed
the wooden huts In which the guides
live. All vegetation within radius of
one mile of the crate has disappeared.
Several earthquakes were felt today.
Some of the people in the surrounding
villages have left their homes and are
camped in the open air. The curiosity
of tourists to approach the volcano is
such that large number of carbineer
guards have been detailed to prevent
them from pressing beyond the pre-
scribed limits.

ALExIEFF TO CONE HONE.
His Position Will Be That of An
Advisor to the Emperor.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 29.-Although
an official announcement to the effect
is not expected Immediately, since it
will require some little time to get Rus
sia's second army in the field, the des-
ignation of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaevitch, the inspector general of
cavalry, as commander in chief is re-
garded as practically settled. The sit
uation at the front, with two, and per-
haps ultimately three, big armies, is
considered to demand, above all else,
that the supreme commander be of
such personal authority as to he be-
yond jealousies and the possibility of
intrigue on the part of subordinates,
and such man the emperor now rea-
Lies can only be supplied by member
of the imperial family. Grand Duke
Nicholas is regarded as extremely we'll
fitted for this great responsibility.
Grand Duke Nicholas will not rely
upon single adviser. but on a staff
comprising the ablest strategists of the
general staff, who in reality will con-
stitute a board OF direction of military
operations.
Viceroy Alexieff is regarded as al
most Gel tain to return here. The re-
port that he may become chancellor of
the empire, however, is exploded. He
is more likely to retain his title and
come to st. Petersburg, nominally in
the capacity OF adviser to the emperor,
and will thus efface himself as factor
of the military situation in the Far
East

in which Willamette valley farmers
find themselves this year because of a

entirely unnecessary. When ]. K.
Sears said in an interview a few days
ago that cattle will starve in the valley
this winter for want of feed he told the
plain truth 1t is truth we dislike

a lesson"
This is an assertion made by Director
James Withycombe, of the Oregon ex-
perimental station, at Corvallis, while
he was attending the state fair.
81 don't mean that any large propor-
tion of valley livestock viii starve, or
that they will die because of the en-

and what Mr.. Sears evidently meant,
was that feed is so scarce that many
farmers will put their stock on very
short rations, with the result that
they will become emaciated aDd will

''Now refer to this only because

season, such as Willamette valley
farmers had no reason to expect, but
this does not excuse their being unpre-

DEATH LIST GROWING.
Sixfy-Two Victims of Wreck on the
Southern Railroad So Far.

Knoxville, Ten, Sept. 2S.-The
death list, as a result of the fearful
wreck ON the Southern railway, near
New Market, has grown tonight to 62.
and it will probably exceed 20, as many
of the injured are in serious condit-
ion and more deaths will occur at the
hospital. Today there were six deaths
at that institution.
A force of 150 men toiled all day
long at the scene of the wreck. Be-
fore o'clock the track was clear for
through. trains, but it required many
hours to clear the debris.
Small fragment of bodies were found
today. but it is thought that they be-
long to bodies already found and
brought to this city. One little baby
was found by the wreckers, but that
was all.
The cause of the terrible loss of life
on the heavy east-bound train was ex-
planned today. It seems that the Sec
ond- coach plowed it's way into a bank
in such a manner that the other cars
were jammed into it and pushed on by
the weight of the heavy Pullmans were
crushed like egg shells.
The physicians at the hospital state
tonight that of the long list of injured
which they have in their care, it is
probable that not more than four will
die. The complete list of injured as
given by the railroad officials shows a
total of 1862, but this included all per-
sons who were slightly hurt or scratch
ed.
