PEABODY REPUBLICANS
OFFER A COMPROMISE

Denver, March 15.-The Governor
ship contest went over till this after
noon again in joint assembly this
morning. Immediately after roll call a
recess was taken until 2:30 this after
noon. The object of the recess was to
allow anti-Peabody Republicans to con-
slider proposition of compromise
made by straight Peabody Republi
cans. The proposition is to seat Pea
body and have him resign immediate
ly. This would place Lieutenant Gov
ernor Jesse Mcdonald in the chair.
Peabody's written resignation is in
the hands of the Peabody men, and If
they can win over enough of the antis
before reconvening the resignation
will be turned over to the ants for i'm
mediate filing after the declaration OF
the election of Peabody.

The Presentation.
There were applause and cheers
that threatened to raise the roof from
the venerable building as Governor
Otero spoke but that did not relieve
the embarrassment of the chairman OF
the Republican party in New Mexico
He was getting pale and involuntarily
looked toward Solicitor General Prich
ard for assistance But he had to re.
main stolid, for stolidness is one of his
reputed virtues, when Surprise No. 8
came, in the presentation of a gold
watch, chain and charm that are works
of art and the best of their kind that
could be procured for the event
Mr.. Bursum's Response.
1t took few seconds for the guest
of honor to recover his equanimity but
he did so soon, for after ALL recep-
tion is not quite as arduous as repell-
ing an attack of the Democrats on the
flank during a heated political cam
paign, Mr.. Bursum makes no preten-
sions as an orator but the words of
thanks he spoke last evening went
straight to the heart and they were
heard by every one above the jubilant
selection played by the band in
fortissimo. His modest words in as
serting that he had done but his plain
duty as volunteer in the ranks of the
Republican party took every one by
storm and If noise can produce show.
er than the applause which followed
them will bring two more weeks of
rainy weather to the Territory.
Other Speakers.
There were calls for other speakers
and all responded except Delegate to
Congress w. H. Andrews who is better
at getting things for New Mexico from
a stiff necked Congress than he is at
making speeches; Hon. Solomon Luna
who is known as "The Silent" but also
as man who never fails to get there,
and Hon. Eugenio Romero, who can
make a good speech in Spanish but is
strangely modest about 1t. There
was a response by Colonel G. W. Prich.
ard, who told a story of a Baptist ex.
perience meeting, that those who have
not heard want to ask for the next
time they meet the Territorys solici.

Many of them, undoubtedly in theil

resented except the fair sex. There
were visitors from every county in the
Territory and the six rooms at the dis
pOsal of the committee of arrange.

keynote of the gathering was given by
Governor Otero when he said: Moth

The decorations were striking.
Above the main portal was circle of
red, white and blue lights and the in
terror was a patriotic symposium of
flags streamers and bunting. The Cav

the prevailing cheer by playing it's

little platform above which appeared
a flag artistically draped and hiding

THE MYSTERY OF
A HANSON CAB.

~ C1AIN0SW SfA0s
New York, March 15.-The body of
a woman who had been dead several
hours and man unconscious and ap-
parently dying, were found in a cab
which was driven up to Brooklyn sta
ton at gallop early this morning.
The man, who was suffering from al
coholism and possibly from the effects
of a drug, may recover. Both he and
the driver of the cab were detained
while the police investigate. Although
the mans condition is so serious that
he can give but little information, he
said his name was Thomas D. Egan
and that he lives on Monroe Street,
one Of the better class of the resi-
dent sections of Brooklyn. The dead
woman he said was Miss Mary Saw
age, age thirty. Both were we'll

Trolley to Northumberland

A proposition is on foot to build
a trolley line to be known as the
West Branch Electric Railway Co.
from Danville to Northumberland.
The West Branch Electric Rail-
way Company will in reality be an
extension of the Danville and
Bloomsbury Electric Railway Com
pany. It is made up of the major
ity of members of the Danville and
Bloomsbury Company whose signal
success in the building of the latter
line inspires confidence that the
Danville and Northumberland line
will be built without delays that
frequently occur in construction Of
trolley roads.
The proposed road will be easy
OF construction, owing to the alb
sence of heavy grades between Dan
vile and Northumberland. Meth
er will there be any streams that
need bridging. Best of all there
will be no railroads in the way so
that the vexed question of grade
crossings with its subsequent litiga-
tion and delay will be entirety elm
mated. The Danville and North
cumberland line will be built along
thoroughly improved lines. the cars
and all its equipment being first
class and modern in all respects.
Verify Danville is becoming a
trolley center Of no little importance,
says the Morning NeaoS. Northum-
berland is but eight miles from
Montandon, where connection can
be made for Wiliamsport. In ad
dition to this the new line will con-
meet with Sunbury and thence with
the gigantic system of lines built or
under way that will open up all the
central part of the State and connec,
with Philadelphia, while to the
eastward of us we already have
communication with Catawissa,
Bloomsbury and Berwick with pros.
poets in a short time of reaching
Nanticoke and points beyond.

Mcclellan as a White House Possibility,

The name of George B. McClell.
all again looms up i'll the history OF
this country, associated with great
possibilities. In the young man
renominated by Tammany for May
or of new York city, some people
see future Governor of New York
State and a possible President of
the United States. The failure of
the socalled reformers to agree up
on proper man to contest the May
orality fight with Mcclellan leaves
the office in his grasp. Only death
or some untoward circumstance can
prevent Mcclellan being elected
Mayor of New York city in No
vember next to serve for four years.
The lease of official life will carry
him prominently before the people
until after the next Presidential
nominating convention and election.
His term of Office will expire jan
uary I, 1910. What changes in
political history can happen i'll that
time
Mr.. Mcclellan is personally an
attractive man and a very capable
politician. The Democracy has no
cleaner man in the ranks of it's
younger leaders. He is as little
defled as anybody ever was who
had touched Tammany Hall. But
it must be remembered that the
power of the Eastern Democracy is
very limited now; that the Western
wing of the party is we'll organized
and aggressive; that Mr.. Bryan is
still its hero, and that his distrust
of men of Mr.. Mcclellan S environ
ment is profound. And it now
seems likely that even if he should
not ask for the nomination himself,
Mr.. Bryan will no doubt be power
ful in the convention cf 1908 as he
was in that of 1904.

Christian A. Small Esq. had no
opponent for the nomination for
District Attorney. He was un-
animously placed upon the ticket,
and he ought to receive the solid
support of all Democrats. He has
been an active party worker, serv-
ing as chairman of the county com.
mittee, and is entitled to recogni-
ton if party services count for any
thing. While the Office of District
Attorney is not and ought not to be
a political Office, you do not see
Democrats elected to that Office in
Republican counties. Columbia

FREE TRAINING OF NURSES
Young Women Of Small Towns and Country
Districts 10 bo Favored

BY the terms Of fund to be adj
ministered in connection with the
Philadelphia School for Nurses,
Witherspoon Building, Philadel-
phia, a number of young women
from every county will receive free
training in Nursing. 1t is planned
to ultimately reach and help in this
way every village and township.
The young women will be pro-
vided with room, board, nurse uni
forms and all the rehnements of
well-appoiuted Christian home. At
graduation the diploma of the
School and the Order Of the Red
Cross will be conferred, qualifying
for practice in any State or country;
the railroad fare will then be paid
back home.
Those applying and chosen to
receive the benefits Of this fund will
be given two years training, with
rich experience in nursing the
sick poor of the city under skilled
leaders. The term may be short
ened to eighteen months by taking
a preliminary course of six months
and study at home. A special short
course enables young women to
quickly qualify themselves for self
support and a substantial income.
In addition to regular nursing,
tue young women are taught how
to preserve their own health; how
to recognize, avoid and destroy con-
tagion; how to establish and main
tain perfect sanitary conditions
about the home; they are prepared
for positions as Office nurse and
physicians assistant; they get a
practical knowledge OF City Mission
movements. Deaconess training,
College settlement work, and are
trained for special positions of trust
i'll institutions.
The School is ten years old and
is endorsed by physicians, leading
educators and prominent men
throughout the country.

ELECTION DRAWS NEAR

Three weeks from next Tuesday
will be election day, Upon the
action of the Democrats of Colum-
bia county on that day depends
whether the party is to be strength
ened or weakened. A full vote,
and the election of the whole ticket
by a fair majority will give it
strength and renewed vitality,
while the defeat of any man on the
ticket would give still further EN-
couragement to the opposition in
their boast that this will be repu-
blican county in the near future.
Such a result we do not deem at all
probable, and yet if profcssed demo-
Gratis go wandering after strange
gods, or do not vote at all, they
weaken the party, and render
strange things possible. There is
always danger in the stay-at-home
vote.
This being an off-year, there will
be no speeches through the county,
but it ought not to require stump
speeches and brass bands to arouse
the people sufficiently to get every
man to the polls. There is a strong
opposition to the Republican candi-
date for State Treasurer within that
party. The corruption of the ma
chire has reached a point where the
better element of the party can no
longer endure it, and there is re-
volt all along the line. Our candi-
date, William II. Berry. will be
supported also by the Prohibition
lists and the reform Republicans,
from which sources he will receive
very large vote. His election
therefore depends upon the Demo
Gratis. If they do their duty, and
give him full vote, his election is
assured.
