seR 1t Fitzgerald, was heard in
q newspaper "spat" last week.
1t seems as if the editor had
been roasting the mayor some
time before, and he did it again,
but in his good easy steady way.
Irwin County Courier.
1t has never been our purpose
to roast the mayor. We are not
in the roasting business. We
have no reason for, or disposition
to roast the mayor.
Like most public men he is
not perfect, and even a perfect
man would be liable to criticism
if he held a public office. It is
duty we owe the public to criti-
else any public officer, or any
official act effecting the commu-
nifty, and we have been actuated
only by sense of duty in what
we have written recently about
the mayors attitude toward the
A. & B. r. r. Co. and the adj
ministration of the city pound.
The above was put in type
yesterday and before the dis
graceful performance of last
evening.
We would not be frank if we
did not confess to at least
slight disposition to roast the
old man this morning. His
arrogance is assuming such
proportions as to threaten the
welfare of the community. AS we
have stated before he is badly
spoiled and his usefulness has
been largely destroyed by that
fact. He has evidently been en-
couraged by some hangers-on
about the city hall and certainly
does not realize what an ass he
is making of himself.
1t has been suggested that he
is tired of the Office to which he
has been elected one time too
many, and is Indifferent to public
opinion. Certainly he can but
realize that his arrogance is con-
demnedby every thoughtful citi-
zen who is not partisan.
In his weak physical condition
he has become a victim and the
tool of a faction. He is not only
discourteous to the aldermen who
have the audacity to differ with
him on any subject, but he is
positively insulting. And the
success of his brow-beating,
domineering tactics has to a
large extent destroyed the power
and usefulness of the aldermen.
When he fails to bulldoze them
into voting his way, he simply
counts them out, as so many
knots on a log.

MaryIand's Electoral Vote seems Ger
tain to Be. Divided.

Baltimore. Md, Nov. 11.-The official
counting of the ballots in Baltimore
and the counties of Maryland was re-
sumed today. So far only five of the
twenty-four wards have been counted
and it will be- tomorrow or Monday be-
fore the count in this city is completed.
In the % counties of the state about
one third have been counted and 1t
probably will be late tomorrow or Mon
So far the Roosevelt plurality keeps
about 100 ahead, with the indications
that Ex-Governor Brown, Democrat t,
has been chosen elector along with
seven Republican electors. Should the
final figures show a plurality for Par
ker it is almost certain that Charles
J. Bonaparte Republican. will be one
This unusual circumstance will result
from the fact that the names of Brown
and Bona parte were the first on the
Democratic and Republican tickets re-
spectively Immediately under the
names of Parker or Roosevelt and
many voters by mistake placed their
cross marks opposite the names OF
these electoral candidates instead of
the presidential candidates. Both Bon
aparte and Brown will run over 1000
ahead of the other electors. The count
in this city and state is being very
closely watched by attorneys represent
ing the Republican and Democratic
managers and a fair enumeratio seems
assured. Both sides are claiming the
victory.

WILL SEE THE FAIR.
President Roosevelt Promises to Go to
ST. Louis.

Washington, Nov. IL President
Roosevelt has promised to attend the
Louisiana, Purchase exposition on Sat
urday, November &c. He made this
promise to a committee from ST. Louis,
headed by Mayor Wells, who came to
Washington especially for the purpose
of inviting him to visit the fair The
probability is that the president may
remain in ST. Louis until the night of
Sunday, November 81
President Roosevelt has been anxious
to go to st. Louis to see the fair ever
since the opening. However, the preSi-
Dental campaign impelled him to re-
main in the east, and in August he so
informed Mr.. William Thompson, treas
urer of the exposition.
1t is expected that the president and
those who will accompany him Will
leave here on Thanksgiving night and
will reach St. Louis early Saturday
morning.
The invitation to Mr. Roosevelt it is
understood is comprehensive enough to
include any other persons whom he may
wish to have with him, and some of the
members of the cabinet are likely to ac-
company him.
For Sunday following should there be
no disappointment of the committees
expectation that the president will re-
main in St Louis during that day, ar
rangements for his enterta inment also
will be made.

QUITS THE BRANCH.
Veterans Santa Fe Passenger Brake
man Takes IA. c. Main Line Run.

Worth Elliott, the veteran Santa Fe
brakeman, has given up the Pittsburg
Emporia run, and gone to work on
This change marks the passage of an
other landmark on the Pittsburg
branch. Mr.. Elliott has been braking
over the branch ever since the Santa
Fe began to operate it, twenty years
ago, he and Conductor Ramsey being
the crew on the first passenger train
that ever made the trip. Mr.. Ramsey
kept the run until a few months ago,
when he was promoted to the position
of train master. Mr.. Elliott hung on
for a while longer. The run was pooled
with the Emporia run and the change
was irksome to the veteran brakeman.
Having to go to the round house to see
the engines put away was also dis
pleasing TO him, SO last Friday he gave
it up and asked to be put on the main
line. He will make his home in Kan
sas City his run lying between that
place and Wellington. He made his
first trip on the new run last Satur-
day. Mr.. Elliott is the senior brake
man on the Southern Kansas division
and all he has to do to get any run
he wants is to ask for it. He has
never accepted the chance to become a
conductor, although he has been in the
line of promotion for years. Il guess
some people thought 1 was married to
the Girard branch" said Mr.. Elliott
speaking of the change and referring
to the run under the name by which it
was known when he first took it.

BROKERS FAIL.
Federal Stock and Grain Co.
Suspends Operation.
Had 60 Offices i'm Various Cities
and States.

Boston, Nov 1.-THE Federal Stock
and Grain company, a brokerage con-
Germ, having sixty offices in various
cities of the country, assigned today
for the benefit of it's creditors. The
main office of the company is in this
city.
The company was one of the largest
concerns not connected With any stock
exchange, doing business in the east.
Its capital was 100000 and it had five
offices in this city. Its out of town
branches were scattered throughout
the state, Connecticut, Maine and
Rhode Island. 1t is said the company
did an immense business last year with
profits in the millions. Recently, how
ever, the rise in stocks proved disas-
trous and on Monday certain branches,
including that at Worcester, were noti-
fed by the Boston office that an addi-
tional five per cent margin would be
required on all stocks carried over cleo
tion day. 1t is understood that the
Worcester office failed to meet this
condition and on Monday night sUs-
pended payment. Other branches hav-
ing also failed to respond to the order
the assignment became necessary.

Basis Of Negotiations to Be
Evacuation of Manchurfa
BY Both the Participants i'm the
Existing War.

London, Nov 1.-THE dispatch of the
Associate Press from Washington con-
firming the statement made in these
dispatches that Japan had indicated her
willingness to entertain peace sugges-
tions from President Roosevelt or King
Edward created much interest here.
Baron Hayashi, the japanese minister,
said today:
After the fall of Port Arthur Japan
would, 1 believe be ready to treat for
peace on no higher essential basis than
that Russia should evacuate Manchu-
ria, Japan also agreeing to similar
evacuation. The two great difficulties
in the way of any suggestion of peace
are, first, the apparent opposition of
Emperor Nicholas present advisers to
a settlement of any kind, second, the
preservation of Russian prestige. When
a nations prestige, if not gone, is Sc
verely impaired, it is a difficult matter
even with the best of intentions to pre-
serve it,
The Associated Press learns that
Queen Alexandra has been in constant
press of Russia and Emperor Nicholas
himself during the last few days. This
is interpreted here as a hopeful sign
and as possibly likely to lead, though
not in the immediate future to the
establishment of some modus vivendt
whereby steps looking to arbitration
might be initiated without offense to
Russia
The reiteration of the American state
departments determination not to in
tervene except on requests from both
of the belligerence tallies with the Off
cial attitude of the British government,
but it is thought that before long some
method may privately be devised
whereby this diplomatic barrier to ac-
tion may be overcome.
Baron Hayashi this morning had no
news from Port Arthur. Rumors of its
capitula ton are diScredited.

WILL GO TO MISSOURI.
Washburn Will Play the second Team
1T Columbia.

Manager Frank Leach of Washburn
today arranged with the management
of the Missouri university football
team by telephone to send down
Washburn's second team and substi-
tutes to play the game at Columbia,
and the date of the game was changed
from Wednesday to Tuesday
Washburn did not want to put its
first team into a hard game with Mis-
souri, just on the eve of the Haskell
game next Saturday, but rather than
have the game cancelled, Missouri
asked that the second team be sent.
Washburn offered to arrange with the
Kansas State Normal or some other
Kansas team to take her place on
Missouri's schedule, but the Missouri
management said they preferred
WaShburnS second team.
The second team will be reinforced
with some of the linemen from the
first team. but none of the first team
backfeld or ends will be in the game.
Louthan, Brown, Hill and Sharp of
the first team will probably go to Mis-
souri,, and Williams, Dadisman and
Anderson may also go. The backfield
will be played entirely by the substT-
tuteS and second team men.
