Rich washerwoman Dying.

MCKEEsPoRT, Pa, September 2.-In her
modest siX-room cottage here Mrs. Jane
Austin, the 'washerwoman heiress," lies suf
fering from blood poisoning, and physicians
say she cannot recover. Her illness is the re-
suit of stepping on thorn, which penetrated
her foot and broke Oft.
Although worth $500, 600 since the death of
her father several years ago, Mrs. Austin still
chung to the simple life and lived in her small
cottage. She had been widow for many
years In the winter of the hard times OF
1898 "a and for many years before she sup
ported herself and her old mother by taking
IN washing. Her father, John McCaffery, of
Baltimore. disappeared more than 40 years
before. He was a canal boatman. and was
supposed to have been drowned.
The winter of the hard times was n bad one
for Mrs. Austin. Her mother fell i'll, and,
trade falling off she got barely enough to keep
her alive The landlord was pressing for his
rent and the point had been reached where
there was neither food nor fuel in the house.
The day the fuel gave out man introduced
himself as an attorney from Chicago and said
he had been hunting r for months.
Her father died a few months before in
Chicago. whittier he had gone when he dis
appeared. He invested in Chicago real estate
and left 81, 800 600 to be divided among Mrs.
Austin and her three sisters. The lawyer left
money to tide the woman over until the be
quest could be made over to her.
'No matter how poor we got, L never was
scared only that time" she often said lJnst
kept praying, and knew He wouldn't see us
die from starvation. didn't lose faith only
that time. | was badly scared, with mother
sick and nothing to eat and no coal IN the
house."

Stage Held Up By Lone Bandit.

WAwoNA, CAL, Sept. 3.-Three miles from
Ahwahnee, a Yosemite stage was held up
Sunday. 1t was driven by Bright Gillespie;
The robber appeared at a bend in the road
and told the driver to come on up. The
driver drove until he was within few feet OF
the robber, their stopped. The driver was
told to 60 on some so feet more. The bandit
then lined the passengers up in the road.
Wertemore Bishop, of New York, was the
first searched. and $3.50 taken from him:
Bishop says the robbers voice was low and
calm. He worked carelessly and every chance
was given the driver to shoot him, had he had
a gun.
A. F. Ormsbee, friend of Bishop, from
Brooklyn, N. Y. lost $l3. He took two
snapshots of the robber. Two passengers
were women. They took the hold-up as
though it were part of the trip. A soldier
passenger was not disturbed any more than
asked to get out of the stage. He had a
loaded rifle and as the bandit was rather care
less in the manner of facing the passengers
the soldier took aim, but was prevented from
shooting by his fellow passengers, who feared
his aim might not be true and that the robber
might have accomplices.
The Wells Fargo treasure box was taken
out, rhed and the contents burned. 1t is not
known how much this box contained. The
United States mail was taken out in search OF
other treasure, but the mail was not disturbed.
The man is without doubt the same one who
held up the stage last year in August and this
year in July. A sheriff's posse is out after
him and the stage company has offered u re
ward of $3.50 for his arrest and conviction.

A Republican Mess.

The Washington Post declares that the
German Ambassador has delivered an ultima
tum to the State Department on the tariff
issue and threatens if Germans are not given
reciprocal tariff privileges to aunul the "fa-
vored nation" tariff treatment TO this country.
That would place exports from the United
States on the maximum basis which is virtually
prohibitive and would shut out our products
from the German market.
standing pat'' and ''leaving we'll enough
alone evidently has its drawbacks, yet the
Republican leaders and President Roosevelt
have decided to ''stand pat" The news of
that Oyster Bay conference has evidently
aroused the German government to retaliate.
Who will back down? Emperor Bill or
President Teddy"

The Farmers and the Tariff.

The farmers can hardly approve the Re.
publican stand pat program, when they find
the price of wheat, oats, corn and cotton de-
clining and the cost of all they buy rapidly
advancing. Where does the boosted protec.
ton to agriculture come in under the present
protective tariff and how are farmers protected,
although the tariff law provides that IS cents
a bushel on wheat and Is cents bushel on
oats be collected on imports? The price Of
wheat is now lower than it has been for ten
years or since the present tariff law was enacted
in August, 1897.
Those farmers, who are Republicans, should
demand of their "stand pat'' leaders a fail
deal, and if the Agricultural machinery trust
the barbed wire combine, the lumber associa
ton and the clothing trusts, are to still be
protected by the tariff in charging exorbitan
prices for their products, that some method o
raising the price of cereals and keeping them
stable should offset trust high prices.
The fact is. however, that no tariff can pro
tect the farmer on his products, of which the
surplus must be sold abroad, as the price pait
by the foreigners for that surplus fixes thu
price here. The only relief the farmer cal
receive is to be able to buy in the cheapes
market and this he can never do as long a.
the trusts, that control all he buys, are pro
tected by the tariff from competition. 1t il
plain therefore that the farmer who votes fol-
Republican Congressman and for Republi
can candidates for the legislature, who in turr
will elect Republican senators, is voting t,
continue the protection to the trusts and fol
high prices, with no protection to help the
price of his own products.

Croker Is For Bryan.

New YORK, September 5.-According tt
Miss Annie Campbell, a young newspaper
woman of Providence, R. l., who returned
today from Europe on the steamship Caronia
she was present at a dinner given in Belfas
by Thomas Gallagher the great Irish tobacco
manufacturer, at which Richard Croker said
to William Jennings Bryan that he expected
to come to America to vote for Bryan and &c
work for his election.
Mr.. Croker is alleged to have said that Mr.
Bryan was the logical Democratic candidate
and that he felt assured the Commoner would
be elected.
81 want to see Tammany Hall rehabilitated
at Washington" Mr.. Croker is quoted as say
ing, sand it can rehabilitate itself there by
supporting you with vigor and energy. You
are the one man who can carry the country
against Roosevelt. In my opinion Mr.. Roose
welt has weakened himself with the trusts and
would stand no chance against you even if he
decided to run for third term. | predict
that YOU will be nominated and that you will
sweep the United States in 1908. And Il pro-
pose to be there to vote for you and do all in
my power to insure your election"
The meeting is said to have taken place
about two weeks before Mr.. Bryan went to
Gibraltar, whence he sailed for New York
According to Miss Campbell's account the
two men were to meet at certain hour in the
afternoon, but Mr.. Croker was late. He did
not arrive until evening, and Mr.. Bryan had
to stay over in Belfast until the following
morning. Mr.. Gallagher learned of the pres
ence of the two distinguished Americans and
arranged the dinner. Others at the dinner,
Miss Campbell said, were the United States
Consul at Belfast and nephew Of the host
Miss Campbell completed her story with
the announcement that Mr.. Gallagher woald
arrive here Saturday as passenger on the
Campania, being on his way to Virginia. where
he has large tobacco interests.

Seventy Millions Increased Profits


How the trusts and combines are plundering
the American people, is shown by the enor'
nous profits made this year by the Steel Trust.
Every one pays their share of the vast toll that
this gigantic combination takes from the grist
run through its hopper. "On March 8, 1897
says the New York World" just before the
party of high prices took possession of the
Government, and when there was no Steel
Trust, American steel rails were selling in the
market at $18 to 500 per ton. Foreigners can
still oct them for that, but Americans have to
pay the trust $2s, an increase of from 40 to
so per cent. The trust has maintained the
1923 rate for home customers without variation
since it was organized, representing net in
crease fprofts of over $7O,0OO,OO0 above a
normal amount for that time. And Mr.. Nor
gan enthusiastically islands pat'' for the re-
tention in power of an Administration that
stands for so much prosperity"
Do not imagine that because you have no
railroad stock, or even if you never rode on
steam or street railroad that the price OF steel
rails does not affect your pocket. In fact
everything you buy is advanced in price by
the freight that is charged, for we cannot ex-
meet low railroad rates and expensive railroad
construction. Then just think of the large
number of articles of steel or iron that you
daily use, all of which are greatly increased
in price by the extra toll the Steel Trust takes,
because the protection from competition the
tariff gives the trust allows it to export these
high prizes. This toll is nearly $40 year
from each family, from this one trust, and
there are 1856 of these, protected by the tariff
in like manner.

Predicts Bryan Will Win.

CLEVELAND, September Mayor Tom l..
johnson today declared that Bryan's advo-
cacy of Government ownership of the rail-
ways would force Roosevelt to run for Presi.
dent again. His Honor said capital would
compel the President to make the fight for
another term, as the ''only safe and conser.
vative course" Continuing, Mr.. Johnson
said
Bryan's declaration of principles means
two things-ihe nomination of Roosevelt and
the driving of thousands of Democrats out of
the party. To all such Democrats say God.
speed For everyone that leaves 10 men of
other parties stand ready to take his place.
Roosevelt will be nominated; Bryan will
be nominated, and Bryan will defeat Boose.
welt. That is my firm belief. Every Repub
lican who is a protectionist in principle be-
lives in Government ownership. The farmers
will be solidly in favor of it, and so will every
small shipper.
Government ownership of railways is as
strong with the people of the United States TO.
day as is municipal ownership with the people
of Cleveland and Chicago. 1t is the para.
mount issue"

very hard by his Democratic opponent, for
the news from his district says he is making a
house to house canvass, which is usually recog-
nized as the last resort in an emergency. The
people of Maine have not been thoroughly
aroused for years, as the Republican machine,
in league with the corporations and saloons,
has had them in tight grip, but there are
signs of political awakening that bodies

Millions of Fish in Flooded Cellars

WINCHESTER, VA, September 4.-Milions
of tiny fish marked in peculiar manner were
seen today swimming about in the water that
fills 80 per cent. of the cellars in the town.
The water is due to the recent rains and cloud
bursts that continued for three months.
The fish average an inch in length. The
upper part of the body is black and the tails
are white. How the strange creatures got
into the cellars is mystery.
Fifty years ago, according to oldinhabitants,
fish were found in the cellars here, and at that
time . fatal epidemic oftyphoid fever prevailed.
