shown himself fair toward Catholics
and concludes:
I'VE say: Forgive your enemies. but
do not forget them. Pray for them.
but do not vote for them.
"That is why people with long
memories have a warm place in their
hearts for Theodore Roosevelt-no

and a safe one to trust, in storm or

Henry Gassaway Davis, aged 81,
has requested that the news of his

At his age sudden shocks are likely to

apolis and Chicago are scrapping for

CHANGES ARE
VERY APPARENT.
(Millville Correspondence,

Millville. N. j., Aug. 9, 1904 (:
Dear Pioneer one who has
been accustomed to attend his party
conventions for long series of years,
the changes apparent in the later days
are apt to create feeling of depres-
sion. He misses the faces of those
with whom he was in close political
affiliation for SO many years, men OF
force and great intelligence, who di-
rected the Larty on the road to the
victories it achieved. who gave their
time freely to consider and plan for
the success they were anxious to win.
One by one they have dropped from
the ranks, and the few veterans who
remain must soon follow them. In
politics as in everything else, the gaps
in the ranks are very noticeable.
The Republicans of the First ward
had big excursion to the Bay. The
catch of fish was not extraordinary,
but the day was heartily enjoyed.
Lower than it has been for several
years is the water in Union Lake, and
protruding stumps make canoe sport
somewhat difficult.
The Eagles flew to Union Lake Park
on Wednesday last. and various sports
pleased the large crowd which at
tended throughout the day.
A very valuable fox hound was
killed by one of the express trains
last week. 1t was owned by Lewis
Steelman, and he was much annoyed
to lose his dog in such manner.
The Red Men are to have another
demonstration in this city to-day. to
give high honor to Tuscola Tribe. as
it dedicates its new wiRwam.
The athletes who were suspended for
taking part in the unauthorized meet
at vineland on the 4th Of July. have
been re-instated.
Last week the pastors of some OF
the M. E. Churches went off on their
months g vacation.
The new Lutheran Church is being
pushed rapidly toward completion. 1t
will be very pretty edifice.
The Glover Club has moved into it's
new and splendidly fitted rooms in the
Simmons block.
% .
Work is being pushed on the sewer
outlet at South Millville.
Yours truly

Found Where Gas Went.


Millville. N. j., August Sit is
understood that the Millville Gas
Company has presented bills to the
amount of $170o to the contractors,
who have been laying sewers here. for
damage done to mains and loss of gas.
The loss was discovered by the COM
pany some time ago, but they were
unable to trace the cause until the
heavy iron lids over the sewer man
holes were blown several feet by an
explosion.
The City Council is also investigat-
ing the case, as it wonders how gas
could get into the sewers, which are
supposed to be water and air-tight.

ONE ACCIDENT
AT CAMP LIPPY

The report comes that the High school
cadets are hard at work at their camp
grounds at Ainefiean lake. Every after
noon between 1880 and 2.9O battalion drill
is held. The drill is always futiguing but
the hot sun yesterday afternoon made It
more so.
So far there has been but one accident
and that occurred yesterday morning when
Lieutenant Hathaway OF Vashon stepped
on nail while bathing in American lake.
The injury was very painful which neces-
STATED taking him in a carriage to the hos.
pital camp of the regulars Yesterday
Hathaway was returned TO his quarters
with all alarming symptoms dispersed.
The Nashon company is to be made the
senior company, followed by Tacoma as
second and Seattle third. This arrange
ment was made at meeting held Wednes-
day evening at which, at Captain Schwarz's
suggestion, the camp was chrstened

As judges for the competitive drill Sun

ant Palmer and Seattle cadets have chosen
Captain Lawton. Nashon cadets have

reward is
NOT CLAIMED

SEATTLE May l3.-The search for lit
tie Prewitt Baker is now conducted upon
the theory that he disappeared by drown
ing rather than in the hands of a kid
napper. One week has elapsed since the
boy so mysteriously vanished from sight,
and for three days a reward has been
posted, yet no demand for ransom has
been made. 1t appears unlikely to all
concerned that kidnappers would hold the
boy so long without attempting to realize
upon their asset.
For that reason popular belief is slow
ly gravitating around to the conclusion
that the boy is dead and his body proba-
bly, lies in the Sound This opinion was
rejected at the outset. because. as often
explained he could not have gone to any
of the docks or boat landings without
passing number of men who could have
scarcely failed to notice him. But since
he has not been found alive within a rea-
sonable time many who adhered strongly
to the kidnapping theory at first have re
uctantly veered around to the other view.
and decided that the slender chance of his
passing along the water front without OBJ
servation was the occurrence which strange
ly took place.
Preparations have been made to drag
the bay thoroughly in the hope of finding
the body or determining with reasonable
certainty that the drowning theory is un-
tenabe The possibility of the boys be-
ing lost in the woods is scarcely consid-
cred. as the whole island has been care
fully explored
