of those who manipulated caucuses two
years ago and again last year in order
10 name such candidates for public office
as 10 self-respecting voter could support.
Those men are most numerous In the
Second. First. Third Ninth and Tenth
wards. but the honest Democrats in those
sections have them listed and know pre-
ctsely what 10 expect.
Already Democrats 1 nthe Tenth ward
have been approached by Republicans
with promises OF support II they will con-
sent 10 support certain machine measures;
but since the death OF Alderman Covell.
Democrats IN the ward have come TO the
conclusion that il has bee nrepresented
long enough by Republican, an dthat

cracy and good government.
There Is plenty of good Democratic
material in the ward and there are enough
votes to elect any candidate upon whom

election OF a Democratic successor to

The Dorney men are trying to strength
en- their following by srying that the
Democrats have put up Republican for
United States senator, and at the next
meeting OF the city committee hty will
endeavor to have a resolution passed to
have the committee make an enrolment
OF Democrats who will be ollowed to vote
I'm The Democratic caucuseS.
If this resolution should be passed, a
committee composed of Dorney men will
be appointed 10 make the enrolment.
Then the list of Democrats will be so
made up that enough regular Democrats
will be thrown out 10 allow the Dorney
men 10 control the selection OF delegates
In wards that are not easily controlled by
them. and by so doing the city convention
will be under their domination, and a
yellow-dog ticket will be nominated for
the legislature.
The Dorneyites, If they pass the enroll
ment resolution, intend to strike enough
names of regular Democrats from the
este+fs- -44=ts-ift-t tite-Seconti, Fifth, Sixth,
Ninth and Tenth wards, and possibly In
the third ward. In the Second ward the
purpose will be 20 get the control Of the
ward fro Richard Il. Conlstock. In the
Fifth TO defeat the Cotton forces I'm the
Sixth 10 keep the control from the In
fluences of Christopher O'Brien and

HUCCED GIRL WITH
NEEDLE IN CORSET

Scranton, Pa, Nov. Tonight
after day spent in investigation in
to the death of Thomas Dougherty,
who was killed by being pierced in
the heart by long needle, the local
police and County Detective Phillips
decided to withdraw the warrant that
had been issued for the arrest OF
Katie Burke, the girl who was sus-
rected Of causing his death. The
authorities are of the opinion that
the girl is innocent of murderous
intent.
She says that she had been mend
ing her brothers clothes with a long
needle used in mending miners
heavy outer clothing and that on go
ing down town in THE evening she
stuck the pin in the bosom of her
dress. Dougherty, who had been her
sweetheart, hailed her and asked her
to take walk with him. He at
tempted to embrace her and the point
cf the needle that was in her dress
caught in his vest. while the "eye,"
or blunt end, rested against her cor
get.
In the embrace the needle was
forced into his body through the
fifth rib and into the cavity between
the pericardium. Hemorrhages re-
suited which caused death.

Washington, Nov. 12-Meat packers
OF the state of Washington have
brought an action before the inter
state commerce commission agains
the Northern Pacific and Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy railroads, al
leging that these railroads have raised
the rates on shipments OF hogs from
the corn belt states to Seattle, Wash
ington, to figure that practically pro-
hibits the shipment Of hogs west. The
chief complainant is Frye & Bruhn,
Incorporated, operating at Seattle,
which concern alleged it would not
be able to continue business except
for the fact Of having established an
extensive plant under favorable rates
that had existed for several years. The
continued existing high rates. this
firm says, would threaten it with bank
ruptcy.

SILVER Is STILL RISING.
Wallace Press.

The present good times in the Coeur
d'Alenes are not wholly due to the
high price the producing mines are
obtaining for their lead. There is an
other metal mined in this district in
sufficiently large volume to make its
price a matter of vital interest to all
of us and that is silver.
Only a few years ago silver had
sunk so low in the markets and SEEM
ed to have such dismal future In
front of it that not even the most
optimistic Of promoters could be in
duced to use 1t in the name Of COM
pany, preferring, SO long as the ore
Of his new found bonanza would as
say even trace In gold or copper, to
link its name with one or both Of
these metals.
Today we may begin to look for a
change. The same influences that
have made the whole United States
so prosperous and have advanced the
prices of nearly all natural as well
as manufactured products. have caus-
ed silver to record a notable advance
The prosperous condition Of the peo-
pie has naturally caused a demand foI
more OF the circulating medium, &C
we have. on several occasions Of late
seen the United States government
purchasing silver in large amounts al
price considerably in excess of 4
cents.
These silver purchases are likely t.
be both numerous and extensive ir
the near future and taken in conjunc'
tion with the big foreign demand fo
the metal. they insure the mainten
ance OF a relatively high price 70
! many years to come. provided that II
the meantime no political changes oc
| cur to reverse the tide Of prosperity.

NO MORE PASSES
PORTLAND AGENTS

Chicago, Nov. 12.-All the western
roads. today announced that they
would discontinue the practice of is
suing free transportation or reduced
rates to land agents and majority
of the $4,000 agents who are register
ed with the western trunk lines will
find themselves out OF work.
This action was taken because the
interstate commerce commission ruled
that the issuance Of such transporta-
ton was illegal. Under the new
conditions the methods employed in
colonizing the country west of the
Mississippi river must be revolutioniz-
ed. Under the old system the rates
were put down to a point where
prospective settlers could look for new
homes at small cost.

his observations of Montana as q

his trip and of the stock market in
Montana:
Il shipped few carloads Of horses
to Miles City, Mont, where they hold
public sale of stock each month, and
sell at each sale from 1000 to 5000
horses and as many sheep and cattle.
October 16, II and Is was to be the
last sale of the season, but the buyers
from the east insisted on another sale
in December, which was agreed to.
These sales are largely attended BY
eastern buyers, and the stock sold
goes to all eastern states. sold at
private sale to party in St. Louis.

horses at the sale and they, OF course,
outsold the range stock and all stock
from Montana.
Il found that Oregon stock is worth
more at home, than any place / have
been. Seattle is the best market for
good horses, excepting New York, in
/, the United States.
Il found in Montana very differ
ent climate than expected. The fan
lweather was fully as mild and pleas
ant IN the section / was in as It Is In
Oregon and Montana is now what we
had here 80 years ago In the way of
stock range. The fat stock coming
/ of the range there look good to me-
and caused me to reflect back when
we had the same conditions here.
TT caused me to fall in love with
the country where they have theii
stock in fine condition the year around
| 1t caused me to- buy a large hofs,
ranch where they can be properly and
easily kept the year around. Condi
tions here are such that l have eithe
to retire from the stock business o
