sPooNER BOOM LAUNCHED.
Wisconsin Senator Declared to be the
Party's Logical Candidate.

Milwaukee, April 23.-Congressman
Charles H. Weisse declared his belief
in talking with a few friends yester-
day that United States Senator John
C. Spooner will be the next republican
candidate for president of the United
States.
He declared this would come about
because Spooner is the only man on
whom the friends of the president and
leaders of the old republican regime
can agree.
Mr.. Weisse said the high regard in
which Mr.. Spooner is held by the pref
1dent was q guarantee he would mot
object to Mr. spooners candidacy.

LAWSON CHARGES FRAUD.

The 'frenzed" fuanciers have accused Mr..
Lawson of making threats without carrying
them out but they will have to admit that his
article in the June number of Everybody's Mag
azine is specific enough. He charges Rogers,
Stillman and Rockefeller (WLiam) with DELHI
crate fraud of gigantic proportions. He not
only charges the fraud but he gives names, dates
and details. He declares that they endorsed
his prospectus and paid for it's publication; that
they agreed to protect the stock from decline
and that they, in violation of good faith, put in
bid of their own after the other bids were
opened.
Now what have Rogers, Stillman and Rock
efeler to say to this? Will they admit that they
were engaged iu a swindling operation involving
millions? Will they deny it and sue Lawson for
libel?
The National City bank of New York City
is the largest bank ia the United States, aud
James Stillman is its president. The bank dis
charged one of its vice-presiden!s few weeks
ago when the Munroe & Munroe Investigation
showed that he was in a syndicate organized to
boom certain stock by wash sales" Will the
bank discharge its president now that he has
been exposed?
Mr.. Rogers is the moving spirit ia Stand
ard O1 will his participation IN the crime Of
the Amaga mated" excite the wrath of John D.?
Or will the senior Rockefeller regard it merely
as proof Of Rogers fitness for the position he
now holds? Lawson has made good What
a sorry spectacle our great tina nciers present.
Scarcely one of them of prominence but what
has been shown to be connected with soma dis
honest scheme. These are the men who talked
so loudly about national honor" in 1906 these

the financial policy of the government; these
the men who stand behind the trusts and the

The GLORIOUS FOURTH OF JULY
Fitzgerald Will Celebrate al Home and IN
vites All Her Neighbors--Everybody
will Come to Fitzgerald and
See the Yankees Celebrate.

The matter of celebrating the Forth OF
July was taken up at meeting Of the Blue and
GRAY Association held at the City Hall yester-
day afternoon.
The kind invitation that had come from
Moultre asking the Blue and Gray Association
and FITZGERALD to celebrate with them, was taken
up and thoroughly discussed 1t did not take
long to decide in Fitzgerald's favor. 1t was ar
gued that to break the chain Of Fourth of July
celebrations here would be a great mistake and
a committee was appointed to notify Moultrie OF
the decision. Fitzgerald has always taken
lively interest in the Fourth of July entertain
ments and it is quite evident that this Will be
the greatest and most successful of any IN the
history of the Colony.
The Blue and Gray Association and other
organizations and individuals seem to be agreed
on that point An ample fund has been raised
and the entertainment will be success.

pointed by the Blue and Gray organization:

Fitzgerald Cotton Mills.

About IVe years ago the DuS-
mess men of Fitzgerald conceiv.
ed the idea of establishing a cot
ton mill here. Practically the
whole of the business community
agreed on the proposition and or
ganized for the purpose of build.
ing a 5000 spindle mill viii III, it
was estimated, would cost about
100000. The subscriptions
we're secured to the amount of
about $4,000, site was bought
one mile north of the city, a mod
ern building put up and equip
ped with very best on cotton
spinning machinery.
That year cotton advanced
from SC or &c to 10c or more and
cotton mills, as we'll as every
body else who bought cotton,
made big money, and it was
with enthusiasm that the
small subscribers of the Irwin
County Cotton Mills talked of the
large dividends, but the market
reacted the year the Irwin Coun-
ty Cotton Mills started to spin.
| The cotton and yarn market was
not so favora BILE and the losses on
that score more than offset the
actual earnings of the plant.
The second year was likewise
unfavorable and Notwithstanding
the splendid earning capacity of
the plant there was net loss
amounting to as much as the in
terest on the investment aggre.
eating in two years about $4,000.
The original indebtedness,
amounting to the difference of
the $4,000. subscribed and paid
ia and 100000. invested, became
due and the creditors importu-
nate, bonds were proposed but
there were no local buyers.
The Garbutts. who had invested
in about $4,000. worth of the
original stock advanced money to
satisfy the most insistent credi-
tors and soon found that they
had so much invested that to
protect themselves it would be
necessary to take up all the
claims against the company,
which necessitated a reorganiza-
ton in which every original in
weston was invited to and given
ample time to participate in the
reorganization on an equeal foot
ing with the Garbutts who con-
trolled the property.
The first years operation of
the mill under the new organiza-
ton was done at a great loss,
much greater than any previous
season; not because the mill did
not earn the money, but for the
reason that the loses in cotton
were enormous and sufficient to
discourage the ordinary business
man.
But, in the face Of these facts,
in spite of these loses, dirt was
broken today for the extention
of the mill and doubling it's ca
pacity. Before winter about 300
employees will be on the roll with
result that about $1,000. per
week will pass through the hands
of Fitzgerald retail merchants
from that source.
The Garbut Brothers who own
the property have been very sue.

standpoint at all but have wrung

IN THE POLICE COURT
Took Too Much Stimulant Before
 Coin8 to the usnttst's.

Olin r. Hart, a contractor, had not the nerve last evening to face den, tist's chair absolutely sober. He wished to have q few aching grinders extracted with as little pain as possl. ble, so he proceeded to make himself unconscious by various internal appli, cations of q popular brand of rum. How well he succeeded was told in the city court this morning by Officer Myers, who arrested him and his boarder, an Italian named Tommy Frost. The officer, it seems. found the men fighting on State street, near West Main street, with quite q crowd around. Frost accompanied Hart to town to stand by him during the opera tion on his aching teeth. He could not explain how they got to fighting. He blamed it all on the courage raiser. Frost was unable to say anything for himself, being unacquainted with the language of the country. Attorney Meigs said that Frost got such maul- ing from Hart it brought on an attack of heart trouble, which required the services of a physician. Both were fined S1 and costs.

THE BELLS OF SHANDON."
St Patrick's Comes Tomorrow and So

St Patrick's Comes Tomorrow and So Does the Shandon Bells.
 Tomorrow night will see the cul' imitation of all the hard and tedious work of the members of the cast Of characters of the Irish drama. ',rhe Bells of ShandOn," which will be pre- sente1 in City hall. In scenic effects. costumes alid every other detail it will surpass any Irish drama seen on the City hall stage.
 Tonight takes place the last re' hearsal, and it will be full dress one. It is necessary to again remind those who are taking part in the entertain ment that every person must be on hand this evening promptly at s o'clock. because those who are not there this evening will not be allowed to assist tomorrow evening. Singers, dancers, peasants. soldiers and every one in any way connected with the play will therefore take note of this warning and be on hand or miss the chance of being one of the stage work CTS tomorrow night.
 The seating capacity of the hall is limited according to an ordinance of the city and therefore those who de sire to secure their seats seats in ad vance should consult the chart now on exhibition at E. J. Finn's shoe store. The reserved seats are 30 cents. Be. sides the drama and its numerous vaudeville turns there will be dancing after the entertainment part is over, It will be fitting way to celebrate that great day of Ireland and her sons and daughters will no doubt take ad. vantage of it.

BOARD OF SAFETY.
Will Consider Giving Bremen an Aann, l Vacation of One Weeks.

The board of public safety, which is coming to be looked upon by some ot the residents of Sylvan avenue and vi cinity as the board of public peril. for obvious reasons. made brave effort yesterday afternoon at o'clock to hold d public meeting, but failed. IL has been. said that so many months have passed since the board held all open meeting it does not know how to hold one now. and that is the cause of it's repeated failures>in this respect.
 Arthur'S. Goddard passed the eX. animation for an appointment to the regular fire department. and an appli- cation from Francis r. Ryan was ap- proved.
 Some time ago a movement was quietly started among the tiremen for an annual vacation of seven days and two days off per month besides A rule to that effect is in vogue in Hart ford, Bridgeport and New Haven. In some places it is eight days, others ten There is slight variation in the r period. but it has been in operation for some time, and tfle local tiremen con- cluded they ought to have an annual vacation also. Everybody will agree with them on that point. Chief Snags recommended the board to make such a rule. He said he had a meeting of the captains of the six companies called so that they could appoint commit tee to present the matter to the board in q complete and proper manner. On motion of Commissioner Van Keureh the matter Was tablel
 George F. Boyd. real estate and insurance agent, had something to say to the board which therellpon immedi- ately withdrew to executive session. After the meeting Mayor Elton, who presided. said that what Mir Boyd stated to the board had no interes, for the public.

Intsssstint Items Boiled Down Fos "" The Benefit of Oar Busy Readera'

A silver medal has been given to Captain Joseph Smith. keeper of Duck Island light. off Westbrook, for brav- cry in rescuing the captain and cook of the schooner Addie Jordan, which was wrecked off Saybrook on Novem- Der 2. 1904.
 The steamboat company proposes to force path through the river at Goodspeed's this week and put the regular steamer service in operation next Monday. The ice there is still sH thick that Tuesday morning trucks, carrying two bales of cotton apiece. were travelling across the river at this point and the ice gave no sign of in ability to stand the strain. The indi. cations are that the surface route win hold good considerably longer It will be surprise if the tugboats are able to smash their way through.
 Jacob Goldberg. the 13-years-old son of Mir and Mrs Harris Goldberg. who live on the road from Talcottvillc tO Rockville. was instantly killed at the Talcott sawmill Tuesday. Young Gold berg and brother were watching two mill hands. Merrill Slater and Pitkin TalcOtt, who had a log on the saw car. riage. The two stood at tine foot of the inclined plane down which logs arc rolled to the saw. and back of them was q pile of logs which were to he cut. One of these. about nine feet long and three feet in diameter. began to roll down the incline. Neither the boys nor the men saw it until if etc 6yaIIl.nrev op,I finn lot against the carriage of the saw. Slater was released first. as if was seen that Goldberg was dead. and then the boys body was removed. The boys head had been caught between the log and q slab. and. apparently. every hone in the head had been crushed. Mir Sla- ter's leg was broken in two places.
 One of the most pathetic cases with which the Chihlren's Aid society has ever had to deal was told of Tuesday afternoon by Miss GriswOll. the state secretary, at the regular fOrtnightly meeting of the society. It is that of three incurables in one family. son. q daughter and a father. The latter is Andrew F. Knowles of GuilfOr1 and the children are Frederick Valentine. T young man. and Maud. young girl. They are all victims of lOcOmotor ataxia. Mrs Knowles has had the care of the three. Miss GriswOld made a visit to the family few days ago in the course of her regular work. She found the young man and his sister sitting together in one of the rooms of the house. Neither can walk or do much of anything with either han,ls or feet. They were sitting together in wheel chairs. The father is not so badly of. since the disease attacked him after it did his children. but he is incapacitated for work.
