JOHNSON AND HEARST.


The attack on Hearst through the
columns of the New York Evening
Post, comes through the medium of a
man by the name of Grove L. john
son.
Johnson is well known on this coast.
He came out here some years ago
under an assumed name, having been
convicted of forgery in the east. He
did time in New York and wherever
he has had an opportunity Of betray-
ing a trust or doing dishonest act,
ord good.
Nile has been industriously trying to
break into the penitentiary again for
years, and has been shown up and eX-
years, and has been shown up and e.
posed through his own party organs
again and again.
A few years ago he spit out some Of
his venom in Sacramento while a
member Of the Legislature and the
Chronicle gave complete expose of
his criminal record. When he read it
he laid his head down on his desk
and cried like a child. 1t was about
the only reply he had handy.
In a recent suit brought by some
swindled individuals against the De-
Lamar company who used to do bu-
siness in Lincoln county. the company
admitted that it had made a profit Of
$1O,OOO,OOO in Nevada Some months
ago when the Appeal charged that it
had lodged taxes on most of it, the
writer was charged by an obscure
sheet in Lincoln county with being
such liar that no one would believe
him under oath. The suit of the Blaics
against the company verify all the
statements made by the Appeal and
show that the DeLamar company man
aged to dodge their just taxes through
the convenience Of dishonest officials
and this is why Lincoln county today
is struggling along on a script ba-
sis.
Bradstreet says: AN eight hour day
has been established in twenty-seven
States and Territories, as we learn
from summary Of legislation on the
subject in the Massachusetts, labor bull
letin. In six states, Connecticut, Hi
nois. Indiana, Missouri, New York and
Pennsylvania, eight hours are prescrib-
ed as days limit of work unless the
contrary is specified. Nevada and the
United States specify the eight hour
day upon irrigation works and New
York does the same for laborers upon
the reservoir. Wisconsin prescribes an
eight hour day in manufacturing and
mechanical establishments unless
there is an agreement to the contrary.
Eight hours are declared to cOnstitd
te days work for laborers on road
work in Missouri, New Mexico and
Tennessee and in the mines and smel
tiers Of Arizona, Colorado, Missouri
Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyou,'
ing. Eight hours are prescribed as TIL
maximum days labor on public wo-
in Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, MaryIar ]
(Baltimore), Minnesota, Montana, Ne =

eeeeher,. Deacon Went to sleep.

Pew sleepers are one Of the bug
bears OF preachers. said the Rev.
Robert Collyer. the veteran New York
minister. II can speak feelingly
from experience. On one occasion
when Henry Ward Beecher asked me
to go to Plymouth Church to talk to
his people. he remarked-jokingly. let
US hope-that most of them were hard
working folk who needed plenty Of
rest on Sunday, and he felt that ser
mon from me might be gratefully re-
ceived.
''In the course of my talk l men
toned this, and said that II was. how
ever. q matter upon which my feelings
could not be hurt, and that owed this
impervIousness to Mr.. Beecher him.
self told them that. one Sunday.
years before, when I was attending q
service at old Plymouth and Mr..
Beecher was laundering forth, l saw
one Of his deacons asleep In a front
pew.
Il went on to say that always after
this, whenever l saw man slumber-
ing peacefully through my most stir
ring efforts in the pulpit, would say
to myself: Well, let him sleep; even
the great Beecher can't keep EN- all
awake."-Success
Idaho Springs siftings., 1904-05-07

to interfere with those last solemn
moments.
The dying mans gaze rested upon
the young man-who, in obedience to
n gesture. approached and bent over
him-with a strange intensity, and his
lips moved.
DO you forgiven" he murmured
close to the others ear. SO that the
words might be heard by none but
him for whom they were intended.
Il have nothing to forgive" was the
broken answer. You acted for the
best. and bless you for It,"
A look OF pesce fell upon the corpse
like countenance upon the pillow, and
he turned his eyes again upon his
daughter
Don't grieve much for me, my
child" said he; "and when am
gone"
He gave a deep sigh. his eyes closed,
and his head fell a little to one side.
The doctor pressed forward.
This is the end" he said. and a
very peaceful one.
But it was not quite the end.
Once more the dying eyes opened,
and fixed themselves upon the pale,
remorsefui face of the young man who
had once hoped to see him expiate his
deed upon the scaffold.
Then he turned them rom him to
the bowed head of the girl who knelt,
with her face hidden, upon the other
side of the bed. and back again. His
lips moved for the last time, but no
words issued from them.
He tried again. and this time
though there was no sound-it seemed
to the other, who had his eyes fixed
upon them, and his ear strained to
catch the lightest whisper, that the
motion of the lips might be translated
into the words. Keep my secret!'
Il WILL will" he answered. and
even as he uttered these words the
end came.
The next day Ted Burritt returned
home Unexpectedly.
The first thing he did was to write
a brief summary of events to DR.. Jere-
miah Cartwright. who, in spite of the
very short time which had elapsed
since his last visit, again made his ap-
pearance at Magnolia Lodge-osten-
sibly to hear further details, but more
particularly to carry out deep laid
scheme of his own.
And what do you mean to do-eh?
mean, about the young lady? Oh.
you needn't look as though you don't
understand what I am talking about,
I've not forgotten what you told me
about her. What. = beautiful blush,"

Not for an instant did 1t occur to
him TO think the narrative false. II

tragedy. And the man he had wrong

He rushed TO the door and dashed

summoned to the house. shook his
head over the case.

At one time IL was feared that he
would pass away unconscious, but tho
untiring application .of restoratives
was at last productive of some effect.
and two or three hours later the dy-
ing man opened his eyes.
He saw his daughter kneeling be-
side his pillow; and. not far away. his
old friends son. who. by some means.
had asserted and maintained a right

The VOGUE Of P.ntaIet..

Pantalets came into vogue about
1920. They we're loose, tapping frills
tied on under the knee and hanging
over the foot. The strings generally
broke or slipped down, and one learns
OF young mothers trials with those
borrid things in a letter quoted by
Mrs Earle, which says: MY finest
dimity pair, with real Swiss lace. is
quite useless to me. for lost of one

Two men, suspects in the Van Me-
ter postoffice robbery, were brought to
the city Saturday afternoon and taken
before United tSates Commissioner H.
w. Gleason for arraignment. The
men gave the names of Andrew H. So
renson and George Hodge. The men
were arrested in a box car that was
standing on a siding in the DesMoines
yards. Commissioner Macarthur, of
Des Moines, was away from home at
the time and hence the prisoners were
brought here at the instance of Post
office Inspector Leland. The prison
ers waived examination to the feder.

at two thousand dollars. In default
of bond the men were returned to
Jail in Des Moines Saturday evening.
Commissioner Gleason thought that
the men should be confined here, but
they were returned to Des Moines ar

MRS. CRIFFE IS DEAD
New Sharon Woman Succumbs to a
Most Peculiar Cause.

New Sharon, Ia, Oct. 4.-Ers.
Chas. Griffee, wife of a prominent bus
mess man and banker, died at her
home here at two o'clock this Monday
morning, as the result of swallowing
a piece of broken glass a few days
ago.
The lady in carrying a couple or
dishes knocked the two together in
such a way as to chip off a small frag-
ment of glass into the sauce dish.
The lady sometime afterwards in par
taking of the contents of the dish,
swallowed the small silver of the
glass that had fallen into the dish.
The glass stuck in her throat and de-
fed the efforts of local physicians to
remove it. Oskaloosa physicians
were summoned and succeeded IN
dislodging the glass, but to no avail.
The lady died this morning.
She was a prominent woman Of the
city, respected and beloved of all who
knew her. and her death causes gen.
eral sorrow. She was the mother o.
| Mrs. Fred Mcvay, or Oskalooaa.
