HUNDREDS JOIN IN SEARCH
Sheriff Directs Great Hunt for the Lost
ESeelyville Boys Bodybuilding
Is Found.

Terre Haute, Ind, June IA. - Tn
der direction of the sheriff there was
a general search in and near Seely-
vile for the 4-yearold Byers boy. who
has been missing for two weeks. Hun
dreds of men joined in the search.
Ponds and abandoned mines were ex-
amined. Toward evening an abandoned
well, whose existence was unknown to
most of the people of Seelyville, was
baled out.
Big rocks were first taken out and
when it was seen that these had
bene long in the water there was a
belief that the child had been MUIR
dered, the body thrown in the well
and the rocks thrown on top of it. but
there was no trace of any body. DR..
Byers telegraphed from Mendon, No.,
that the boy found there with a
tramp is not his son.

CRIPPLE CREEK SITUATION
Gov. Peabody Thinks the "War'' Is Nearly
Over-More Arrests Made by Gen.
Bells Order.


Denver, June 14.-With news from
General Bell that the Cripple Creek
mines are open and running Govern
or Peabody expressed the opinion that
the mine region war is nearly over.
News from Cripple Greek also says
that General Lell has sent out SOL
dlers to capture party of armed men
reported hiding in the mountains north
of the town. At Goldfield C. G. Ken
nison, president of a w. F. of M. I'M
ion at Cripple Greek, has been put un-
der arrest for alleged participa-
ton in the Independence crime. He
got into an alteration with the mar
shall who arrested him and was struck
over the head with a gun. Kennison
declares he had no connection with
the independence murders.
Frank j. Hang, attorney for the w.
E. Of M. at Cripple Creek, has been
arrested, put in the bull pen and held
'incommunicadO''-s the good of the
county, says General Bell. Many
other less important arrests were
made at Cripple Greek. The CON
templated withdrawal Of troops has
called out protest from the Citi-
zens' Alliance and Mine Owners as
ISOLATION, and it is likely that Govern
or Peabody will be asked to continue
the soldiers in the field for an indef-
mite period.

TRANSFER LAW rs VALID
Montana Corporations Can Sell Their
Property to Other Corporations if
They Choose to Do So.


Helena, Mont, June 1.-THE SUI
preme court has decided the celebrated
law known as house bill No. 1872,
which permits corporations to dispose
of property to other companies, to be
constitutional. The act was passed
over the veto Of Governor Smith in
1889. 1t was under this law that the
Amalgamated Copper company was en-
abled to purchase the properties of the
Boston and Montana, Butte and Bos-
ton and Parrott companies. e
The question as to the constitutions
atty of the law was raised in an ac-
ton brought by O. r. Allen against
the Ajax Gold Mining company, which
sought to transfer it's property to the
National Prospecting and Develop
ment company, of New Jersey. Judge
Clements, in the district court of Lew
is and Clarke county, granted an in
junction, and his ruling is now re-
versed.

b Washington, June II. Secretary
Taft has decided that army officers
serving on the isthmus of Panama in
the construction work of the canal
shall receive 80 per cent. additional
from the, canal commission over the

receive compensation such as would
be paid to civilians doing the same

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

President Bear, of the anthracite
Coal Trust, says God put up the
price Of coal. He also says he in
tends to sell coal at as high price
as people will pay for it, and get
all the profits he can out Of the
business. Under these circum-
stances it is almost time for the
United States government, and the
people, to say what they will do
about it. Four dollars a ton is a
good price and would yield a fair
profit. All above that is extortion.
The great and perplexing ques-
ton among Democrats is how they
can muzzle VIM. j. Bryan. The
newspapers have been killing him
off for many months, and saying
all sorts of funny things about him,
nevertheless, at the critical moment,
he pops up with the Nebraska Dem
ocracy behind him and the same
old platform in his pocket. The
proposition is how to smother
Bryan and his notions and yet
keep him and his faction to the
ticket and to the party. A happy
solution is wanted. Suppose all the
regular Democracy goes over to
the Bryan faction? Here's chance
for union.
Paul Morton, formerly a Demo-
GRAFT, and son of that Sterling Nor
ton who was Secretary of Agricul-
ture under Cleveland, announces
that he has become a Republican.
He says there is too much tommy
rot" in the party he has just left,
and that the Republicans are the
only folks who do anything. Mr..
Morton is wiser in his own genera
ton than his forb ears.

Tyner then says he has had his day
in court and established his innocence;
that he instructed his attorneys to
take advantage of no legal TECHNICAL
ties, but to lay fully before the court
every act Of his official career, and to
ask the jury to ignore his age and
physical conditions; that he asked not
his acQUittal, but for vindication; that
the jury without hesitation pro-
nounced him innocent, and that he
believes that every member of the bar
agrees with the jury. He then pro-
ceeds:
Such verdict in trial brought in
good faith would ordinarily be sufti-
cient vindication of an accused party,
but unfortunately in this case your Of
fetal proclamation of my assumed
guilt has such weight, and is entitled
to have such weight, that to many it
practically overrides the verdict OF the
jury. l notice that many of your
friends do not hesitate to say that
your verdict given before trial is more
to be<relied upon than the verdict Of
court and jury given after trial.
Against such injustice l have no re-
course, except by appealing to your
sense of right and fair dealing"
He then refers to his former letter
to the president, in which he stated
that Roosevelt was misled by Bris-
tow's report which he charged sup
pressed facts, grabbed evidence and
made untrue statements. He reaf-
firms these charges and adds: "Wit-
ness after witness on the stand for
the government in my trial denied the
accusations in his report, and docu-
ment after document from the gov
eminent files disproved his charges. l
do not mean for a moment to ques-
ton the good faith and entire sinceri-
ty Of your proclamation; l wish mere
ly to emphasize the fact that you have
been deceived, and that your laudable
zeal for public and official decency has
been imposed upon.
'You accuse me of gross corrup-
tom the attorneys for the govern
ment constantly disclaimed any such
charge before the jury. You charge
that was paid by criminals not to
prosecute them;' not scintilla of evil
dence was offered to sustain such a
charge; nor was single witness nor
a single document produced to show
special favors to 'swindling schemes,
or single violation of duty. Every
charge i'll the Bristow report i'll any
wise rejecting on me has been dis
proved by the recent trial-disproved
not by virtue of the verdict but by
sworn evidence of the governments

ductionn causes mills to close and
markets to sag. This was a favo-
tie theory with Sterling J. Morton
when he was secretary of agri-
culture. In any event it is vastly
better than under production.
Somebody in New Haven wants
to get out an injunction to prevent
the erection of a soldiers monu-
ment in that city. Iniunctions
were never devised for such pur-
poses. Their utility is to pre-
serve property and prevent michief.
| Numerous thefts of valuable
works of art, gold nuggets, fine pro-
celains, etc., have been made at the
St. Louis Exposition. This is too
bad, and if it continues will give the

little less entertaining and little
more watching would improve
ma tiers.
After all that has been done and
said about forest trees protecting
the land, preventing floods, and
causing rivers to flow at an average
depth, it seems that cloud bursts
occur with frequency in different
parts OF the country, regardless of
the condition of vegetation. In
one day there comes news of floods
IN New York, Penna., the Black
Hills ten days rain in Kansas,
cloud bursts in Texas, in the
Indian Territory. Even the Kaw
river in Kansas is a restless stream,
and every little while leaves it's
bed and goes wandering all over
the state. And it is a remarkable
fact that old pianos are to be found
in the river bottoms in Kansas as
the result of floods. Something
will have to be done besides talking
about spots on the sun, and APP
pointing young men to plant trees
and draw salaries as forest rangers.
A movement has started in
Akron, Ohio, which promises to
set the country wild. A new
organization has sprung up called
the young Crusaders" The boys
belong to a Sunday school, of
course, they wear khaki uniforms,
flourish swords, talk loud, and
sleep out of doors under real
Tapping tents. Two of Senator
Dicks offspring belong to the band.
Exactly what the crusade is about
does not appear. Possibly it is a
crusade against using tobacco,
telling lies, being lazy, and showing
disrespect to ones paren is. If SO
it should prosper.
AS the ST. Louis convention will
contain 1000 delegates, it will take
667 votes to nominate Parker. He
now lacks about 400 of the required
number. And Hearst has almost
as many delegates as Parker.
Some wise politicians think it pos
sible that German, Miles or Folk
may come in and gobble up the
whole concern.

Among the spell binders who are

| Recently a representative from
Iowa called upon the president to
induce him to promote one Col.
Dinwiddie, native of that state,
from being a colonel in the signal
corps to the grade of brigadier
general. The president listened to
the arguments with an unusual
sense of amusement. It wasn't
even limited that Dinwiddie had
ever smelt powder, or been under
arms, or done anything else en-
titling him to a promotion. Iowa
has never had a brigadier general,
was the plea, land she wants one
awfully bad" The president re-
piled that promotions IN the army
do not go by states.
There is a rumOr in the DemOcra-
tic press that many Republican
senators object to the proposed
placing of Secy. Cortelyou in the
position of chairman of the natl
onal Republican committee. It is
said that Spoon er, Fairbanks, Kean
and Dryden of New Jersey, Benrose,
Platt Of New York, and Hale of
Maine shake their heads and say
this will never do. Such rumors
can be taken for what they are
worth. The president is a shrewd
man and knows what he wants.
It is amusing to hear the Dem
ocrats give out from their COM
mittee headquarters the opinion
that they expect to overturn the
Republican majority Of "a in the
House. There1l be time enough
for that after they elect Parker or
German, or Olney, or Mcclellan or
Hearst, or whoever else gets the
nomination.
Mild literature" is to be given out
at first by the Democrats for the
public to feed upon, for fear the st.
Louis convention may adopt red
hot platform, and something real
strong will be needed after that
event! This is a wise precaution.
There is no telling how the cat will
jump at St. Louis SO long as Bryan
holds the bag.
Politicians of the far-reaching
and president sorts, are going to
fight shy Of the tariff issue. At
least that is determination the
Democrats have come to. If that
issue is pressed too hard it may

profiting by protection, to decline
to open the much needed barrel.

'Sir:-In November 1903, ON the
strength of certain charges contained

assistant postmaster general, you gave
to the press Of the country state
ment to the effect that gross corrup-
ton in the ease of Assistant Attorney
General Tyner has gone on for num-
Der of years, and after referring to me
as the chief offender you say that
in my case the corruption took the
form Of favoring get-rich-quick con-
Germs and similar schemes; in other
words, the criminals whom it was his
[my] sworn duty to prosecute, paid

mo verdict of jury nor sentence

reaching or irremediable conse-
quences for me as this extraordinary
official proclamation of guilt by you,
and the ordinary machinery of justice
is probably powerless fully to rectify
the injustice done. Immediately upon
seeing your charges in the press adj
dressed you letter, protesting that
on the mere say SO of Mr.. Bristow you
had no right, without at least first
giving me chance to be heard in my
defense or without confronting me
with the charges or the evidence, thus

MANUAL TRAINING COMING.

Assurance is given by school au-
thorities that manual training will be
made a part of the course of instruc-
ton in the schools of this city within
the next year. Portland and Spokane
introduced manual training this year
and the innovation is said to be prov
ing very popular among students and
parents. Before the. system can be in
PRODUCED here suitable rooms for the
work must be provided. 1t is probable
that some use can be made of the
Easements of buildings now used for
playrooms or for storage purposes.
The one great defect of our public
schools otherwise of excellent stand
ing, is the lack of practical training
This defect will be remedied in large
part by thorough system of man
ual training. superintendent Jones is
an enthusiastic champion of this re-
form and he is anxious to see it in
stalled in the schools of this city as
soon as facilities can be provided.
