Whites Political Enemies

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 6.-Former pc
litical enemies of Count White are form
ing cabal against the peace envoy
which has for its purpose the couuteract
ing through intrigue OF the newly gained
influence which Count Witte has with
the Gar. Leaders of the zemstvoist'
and powerful promoters of the douma,
the new national assembly, including
men like Count Solsky, are uniting
forces to accomplish this end They
are taking the stand that the credit foI
bringing the war to termination at the
Portsmouth conference belongs entirely
to the Gar, and that the part played by
Count White was little more than that Of
of clerk, who carried out his master :
orders. Owing to the opposition which
has developed to Count White his
chances of being made premier of the
proposed new council of ministers are re-
garded as waning.

Hospital it was stated this morning

the well known fnsncier, who was

clans attending Mr.. Belmont this morn
ing the announcement was made that
the patient was entirely satisfactory.
No unfavorable symptoms, it was added,

PAT GROVE, who is under arrest at
Butte, Montana, has made confession
that be and "pal' once planned 10
kidnap John ID. Rockefeller. 1t was
their intention to hold him for 81, 600, 900
ransom. The plot went so far that
Grove went from Chicago, where the
idea occurred 10 him, to Cleveland, and
spent several days in sizing up the situa-
ton and making his plans. The rich
man is menaced by many things in this
world and to add to his anxieties) is
told that he will experience as much
trouble in entering heaven as a camel
would encounter in passing through the
eye of a needle. Hence those burdened
with wealth should incite cOmmisseration
instead of envy.

Prince Charles to be offered Throne

London, Oct. 6.-Advices to the Pail
Mall Gazette state that negotiations are
proceeding apace for the conclusion Of
an agreement between Norway, Sweden,
and Denmark. As soon as Sweden APP
proves of the programme for the disso-
luton of the union between Norway and
Sweden in accordance with the KsrIstadt
agreement, it is expected that Norway
will Immediately approach Denmark
with an offer of its throne to Prince
Charles. II is confidently expected that
he will accept the throne and that no
disspproyal of this action will be ex-
pressed in any quarter.

BEFORE the Sandwich Islands were
annexed to the United States they were
rightly called 1.-the Paradise of the Pa
cifc"--the blooming garden where ma
ture was kindest to man. Now it is
feared the islands will come to be known
as "Gehenna," or "Tophet," so far IS
white men are concerned. Since al
nexation to the United States the white
population has rapidly decreased, while
the yellow Perip is more than immi-
nent-it is present. The arrival of thou
sands of japanese has driven out many
American skilled laborers, both from
Honolulu and the sugar plantations.
This country seems to be unfortunate in
its acquisitions.

Munjcipal Ownership.

New York, Oct. 6.-Thst municipal
ownership of public utilities is living
question in American politics and is ap-
parently destined TO come prominently
to the fore as an issue in municipal cam
paigns all over the county, was demon
strated last night when the democratic
city convention, held in Carnegie Hall,
declared unequivocally in favor of the
proposition. Municipal ownership will
be forced to the front of the democrats
in the city campaign just opening, as
the paramount issue'. The renomi-
nation of Mayor Mcclellan for another
term is in itself step toward carrying
out the declarations of the platform, 10
as much as, during his present term, the
first steps in this direction have been
taken in the purchase of the Staten
Island ferry and the plans have been
made for the erection of municipal
lighting plant. The republican leaders
OF New York are also on record as favor
ing municipal ownership, so that the
question is bound to play an important
part in the campaign. In accepting the
nomination Mayor Mcclellan took occa-
sion to make his position as favoring
this programme clear.

tentnnent

THERE ARE some big C) men in Rich
mond nowadays. During citizens
meeting on Wednesday night to consider
plans for receiving and entertaining the
President on his approaching visit TO
that city, the question was asked who IN
the city council were responsible for ad-
vertising to the world that Richmond
had no caterer capable of serving the
Roosevelt committee. One citizen re-
piled that he did not think it proper
time to 60 into that matter. "But the
time will come when il will be proper to
inquire" said another. at will be at
the next election when the people will
answer the question by declining to re-
elect those who have acted in this way
in the banquet matter" So it appears
that 10 the capital city of the State
mans qualifications for councilman are
to be judged by his preference between
caterers for a public dinner.

Five BURGLARS broke into the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Station at Havre de
Grace about $3.50 o clock yesterday morn
ing, blew the safe to pieces with nitro
glyceriDe, wrecked the Office, and, after
a pistol fight with Waterman Milton
Baldwin, in which one of the outlaws
vas shot, made good their escape, with
out, however, securing any booty.
Waterman Baldwin was attracted to the
station by the terrific explosion. As he
approached the building he saw five men
run from it. One of the men carried
the money box which was in the safe and
which contained a small amount Of
money. Waterman Baldwin, who was
armed with two reyolvers, Immediately
opened fire upon the retreating men, who
returned it with vigor. Not until Bald
win bad discharged both of his revolvers,
10 shots in all, did the firing cease, and
then the burgulars had disappeared.
The man who carried the money box was
hit by one of the bullets, for he dropped
The box and cried "Tm shotP' Upon
examining the box Baldwin discovered
that one of bis bullets had put hole in
it. Later in The morning an examina-
ton of the wrecked Office and of the
station building was made. 1t was found
that the burglars had gained entrance to
the building by picking the lock of the
door leading to the women's waiting
room. They then found their way to the
ticket Office. It,,was their evident inten-
ton to set the building on fire after COM

GEN. GOMEZ, of Cuba, Governor of
Santa Clara province, who withdrew as

rived in New York day or two ago.

his self-sought solitude surrounded his
coming. But be told some of his friends

to relieve the political situation of en-
barrassment and partly to avoid the pos

who lowered near him, following him

minutes before she had commissioners at
her elbow. She bet Commissioner "Skat-
err" Reynolds S. note on Paul Jones

any quarter over the market position. The
money situation was closely watched and de-
velopments in the money crowd were regar d.

They canvassed the business men and
raised $3.50 to be used in the purchase
of roses for city park that was not
yet located. F. K. Spaulding, a prac-
tical rose grower, took charge of the
work Immediate results were rose
lawn with 200 varieties aggregating
about $500 plants, 100 women with
roses in their private lawns and a
general awakening on the growing OF
the rose. They adopted for Sunnyside
the name of the Rose City of Wash

course last winter of the most popular
people on the platform at popular
prices and cleared over 5000 for their
labors Everybody was pleased and
the very ablest are again selected for
the coming winter. These women are
also in charge of our local fair. 1t
has grown from year to year. Last
year live stock was added. While
this fair is yet in it's infancy, it Is
popular and we'll attended. The wo'
men have not only met expenses but

could have done. At the same time
it gives the country people the advan
tage of the high school without extra
tuition. This is a feature that may
we'll be studied by other places SINH
larly situated.
Again, the farmers are cooperating
with T. c. Williams in his extended
effort in introducing Percheron horses.

of the finest thoroughbreds available.

draft horses to a marked degree.

four sections. 1t is popular and the
meetings are largely attended. Reg.
ularly every three months one division
"entertains" at the home of one of
the members and in this way the so
cial life of the community is largely

ashy soil has caused the lower lands
to fill up. 1t has become necessary
to drain these lands. In this the farm
ers are cooperating. Four districts
are organized. The first district is
formed under a special state drainage
law. The rest are under the county
commissioners. 1t is found that un.
der either method the law is cumber
some and it is believed that a new law
specially applicable to drainage in ir-
rigated sections should be framed.
Another line of cooperation has
been in that a large area of the most
densely populated of the country sur
rounding Sunnyside has joined the
town in building up the high school
This enabled the town to erect a
much larger building than it otherwise

developed in a cooperation non-sec'
tartan way The divisions vie with
each other in these entertainments
and some unique and highly intel
lectual functions result. Besides the
social advancement of the community
this society has business end to it..
When the women combine in efforts to
accomplish you may we'll expect re-
suits.
Besides being active in support OF
the work of the federated church many
matters of local general interest are
handled. Last year they took up the
matter of the introduction of roses.
They called special meetings and made
a house to house canvas They club

scores among the first as compared
with other plants. 1t is expected that
the large unoccupied area and the
many natural advantages for dairying
will double the patronage again in the
near future. The history of these
three concerns, or how cooperation in
these important times was secured at

UNNYSIDE lies in the heart of
the Yakima valley, Washing
- ton. This is the largest irri
gated section in the northwest and
seems to promise more for future ir-
rigation than any proposition now un
der consideration by the federal gov.
ernment. The great progress that has
marked the Sunnyside country is due
to two causes: First, the most fav
ored natural conditions-deep, rich
soil, fine climate and abundance OF
pure water, and second, wide-awake,
progressive people, with financial abil
ity, have been attracted to the favored
valley.
But the key note to real prosperity
the one word that has set Sunnyside
ahead of other places of this class, is
