NARROW ESCAPE FOR WOMAN
One strikes = Pedestrian,
Causing Scare.

An unidentified woman was struck by a
live wire in front Of the Merchants hotel
about 10 80 a. m. Monday but was not
seriously injured.
Some workmen were erecting a sign ad-
vertising the Pure Food show and some Of
the wires supporting the sign broke and
I'm falling came into contact with a trolley
wire in the street The broken wire,
charged with electricity, swung over to the
pavement, striking the woman. who was
passing. The sign was burned up.
After viewing the trouble. City Elec-
trician Michaelsen expressed the opinion
that signs of that. character should not
be tolerated in a metropolitan city, such
signs being dangerous in more ways than
one.
The sign In question was stretched from
the tops of the Merchants and Henshaw
hotels and suspended from a guy wire over
the trolley wires. workmen tried to
straighten out the tangled mass of cloth
and while handling II let the sign fall. The
guy wire came in contact with a trolley
wire, the latter sending a strong current
through the former to its mooring on the
north end. The guy wire Immediately
dropped to the sidewalk and was white
with heat. The clothing OF a passing
woman and boy was singed by the heated
wire, which also nearly burned through
the insulation of a fire alarm wire.
Had the guy wires rested a moment
longer on the fire alarm wire the latter
would have become charged with the cur
rent from the trolley wire and the result
would have been the entire downtown fire
alarm system would have been placed out
of commission until a number of burned
out boxes could have been repaired" stated
Mr.. Michaelsen.

QUOTES FROM REAL REPORT
Incident Of How Edward Rosswatsr Tripped
Railroad Tax Agents.
NOT FOOLED BY BOGUS SET or FIGURES


Edward Rosewater's wonderful grasp Of
statistics and his wonderful knowledge Of
things he was interested in was aptly
illustrated al a meeting OF the State Board
OF Assessment in 1904, when be- made his
annual appearance before the board in
behalf of the peoples interest. and in his
EFFORTS to secure iust and higher assess
ment Of railroad property The incident
was recalled Sunday during converse ton
among a number of QUITO town visitors
Mr. Rosewater had prepared his argu-
me1t, based on the reports made by the
various railroad companies. At the board
meeting were fifteen or twenty railroad tax
agents from all parts Of the country. AS
soon as Mr.. Rosewater had opened his ar
gument, Mr. scribner tax agent of the
Union Pacific. asked him question con-
corning the stocks and bonds of some of
the auxiliary companies Of this road. As
soon as this was answered the other tax
agents began TO ask questions in an en-
deavor TO keep Mr.. Rosewater from the
main issue. .'
Finally the editor answered question
regarding the value OF the stocks and
bonds Of the Oregon, Railway and Naviga-
ton company, owned by the Union Pacific.
Thought They Had Him.
Mr.. Rosewater, you are misquoting the
figures" interrupted Mr.. SeTibner. You
cannot find any such figures in our report
There is our report to this board before
you. Look at 1t and see for yourself
A member of the board opened the report.
and sure enough the figures were not
quoted. .-
That's the way you created this re-
sentiment to the present assessments of
railroad property" holly exclaimed the
railroad tax agent by, misquoting figures
In your paper, you have the people believ-
ing the railroads are not assessed high
enough"
"of course the report you filed with this
board does not contain the figures l
quoted" answered Mr.. Rosewater with
some show OF heat ~ knew 1t didn't
when l used those figures. That report
you filed here Is as false as Il can be. I
| don't believe a word OF It, 1t is alb
solutely unreliable. I am quoting from
your report to your stockholders. That
is where | get my information" -,
With that Mr.. Rosewater dug down in
his iittle grip and produced the report to
! the stockholders--the real report-and the
| long list Of figures he had quoted with
out a reference or note exactly cor
| responded.
That was the year the railroad assessment
| was increased sl9,0o0.e00.

ELECTION RESULTS.

The results of the election held last
Tuesday throughout the country do
not afford much consolation to the
democrLtlc larty. but on the other
hand shows that there is no turning
away from the republican party and
that the people at large are still de-
SirouS that the reinS of government
be entrusted to their hands. 1t is
true that the republican majority in
the lower house Of Congress has been
slightly reduced but at this rate Of
reduction perhaps the democracy
might be in the ascendany there some
time about the year '4Ol1." The wise
ones in the democratic party ought to
be able to get some lessons from this
election as: we'll as from the jolts that
have been administered to it from
1894 up to now. Certain it is that
the republicans continue to fool the
people or else the people have not the
proper confidence in the democratic
party. There has been a general Shak-
ing up OF party lines but somehow the
republicans always come out with
most Of the "Shakeup." The demo-
Gratis never fail to make a good fight
and have great political gatherings,
but the noisy man at the demOnStra-
tiOnS is not SO much in evidence on
election day. In New York this time
Hearst certainly made an honest fight
for the masses or else he played the
part of a deceiver that should forever
consign him to the demnition bow
vows.
1t may be said that the result is a
personal tribute to President Roose-
welt. This may, in a measure, be
true. But it is a well known fact that
a vast majority Of the old-time leaders
of the republican party would be glad
to see him thrown overheard. Hence
it is that we can not fail to wonder
how it is that the republicans. re-
CARELESS Of differences, walk up and
deliver on election day and too many
of the democrats either fail to 90 to
the polls or vote with their neighbors
Of the other party.
Does the immense amount of money
contributed by the great corporations
in 1904 to the republicans answer the
question of that party'S continued sue
cess? Ii SO, then the people must go
after the corporations red-handed.

President Roosevelt detailed an Of
ticer to investigate the affair and locate
the guilty parties. 1t seems that the
suspected companies intimated that
they knew the guilty parties but that
they had determined not to give their
names, hence the President issued the
following order which summarily dis
missed three Companies from service:
Il recommend that orders be issued
: as soon as practicable discharging with
out honor every man in Companies B,
G and d, of the Twenty-ffth Infantry
serving at Fort Brown, Tex, on the
night of Aug. IS, 1906, and forever
,%sdebarring them from re-enliSting in
: the Army or Navy Of the United
States, as we'll as from employment in
any civil capacity under the Govern
ment. In making this recommended
ton, | recognize the fact that a num-
Der of men who have no direct knOwl-
edge as to the identity Of the men OF
the Twenty-tifth Infantry who acuu-
ally fred the shots on the night Of the
18th of August, 1906, will incur this
extreme penalty.
1T has been established by careful
investigation beyond reasonable doubt
that the firing into the houses of the
citizens Of Brownsville, while the in
habitants thereof were pursuing their
peaceful vacations Or sleeping, and Dy
(which n citizen was killed and the
Chief Of Police so seriously wounded
I that lac lost an arm, was done by en-
lAsted men Of the Twenty-tfth Infan-
try belonging to the battalion station
ed at Fort Brown. After due Oppor-
tunity and notice the enlisted men OF
the Twenty-fifth Infantry have failed
to tell all that it is reasonable to be-
lieve they. know concerning the shoot
ing.
IF they had done so; if they had
been willing to relate the circum-
stances and incidents preliminary to
the trouble it is extremely probable
that a clew sufficiently definite to
lead to results would have been dis
closed. They appear to stand to-
gether in determination to resist the
detection of the guilty; therefore they
should stand together when the pen.

No such proceedings were we be-
fore taken by the nations Chief Ex-
ecutive, but his course is to be COM
mended and will no doubt serve as al,
remarkable lesson to other negro troops
and the white soldiery as well. !
