travelling companion was her little e-year-
old son, and in her travelling bag was found
a note reading as follows;
Take care OF my little boy. I am going

Besides this indication Of the knowledge
that death was near, there is another cir
cumstance pointing to the possibility OF
suicide. hat pin had been inserted IN
the woman's breast directly above the
sternum. 1t was removed by an employee
of the Union station named Sanders, and
he said it had penetrated to a depth of
several inches.
Ever since the train left North Platte
Mrs. Dawson had acted in a strange
manner, being clearly out of her right
mind, as is frequently the experience of
persons of weak lungs in arriving at low
altitude.
County Coroner Bradley took charge of
the remains and searched the woman 3

found: 2H Leavenworth street. San Fran
cisco, care Mrs. Collar. and Miss A. Leary,

BENSON ROUSES The VOTERS
Of Sixth Ward Cheer the
Candidate for Mayor.

misrepresentation and ISLANDERS Of
Democratic Machine Denounced
~ Unworthy Methods

Ersstus A. Benson addressed large
gathering Of voters at Hnwood hall, Tweu-
ty-fourth and Burdette streets, last even
ing. The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the Sixth Ward Republican
club with Henry Ostrom IN the chair.
After speaking along a general line Mr..
Benson stated with much force
Il am not in this race for the salary at
tached TO the Office OF mayor but my only
desire is for the public good. Upon my
honor. I say ] would not accept the office,
as much as I consider IL an honor. II had

Responsibilities of the Voters.
Speaking Of the duties and responsibilities
OF the individual voter, Mr.. Benson said
Each man going to the polls carries with
him a responsibility and power that can
hardly be appreciated. Each man acts not
only for himself. but for every other per
son in the community. I believe the time
will come when the casting OF ballots will
be attended by some sort Of ceremonial
whereby each voter will be obliged I'm the
presence OF his fellow men, to cast aside
every other consideration except that Of the
public good when casting his ballot.
"I sincerely believe every man on the re-
publican ticket viii do what he pledged to
do and will not accept one dollar from any
corporation whatsoever
After the primaries were over and the
democrats saw what the people wanted they
stole my platform bodily and then Dahlman
declared the platform to be a splendid one.
Free from EntanEIements.
Mr.. Benson declared he has had no en-
tangling alliances or pledges which would
in any way prevent him from giving the
people a clean and honest city administra-
ton II elected. He also said that as mayor
he would see that everyone serving the city
in a public capacity was fully qualified for
the place.
Mr.. Benson was accorded a rousing recep-
ton by the voters present

PROGRESS OF CITY CAMPAIGN
Enthusiastic Labor of Republicans Contrasts
with Democratic Indifference
BENSON NAILS ANOTHER RooRBACK
Brands as Utterly False the story
of His Intention to stop
Sunday Base Bnn
Games.

In a marked contrast With the lethargy
prevailing at the democratic headquarters
and the absence Of Chairman Billiard from
the firing line. the rooms Used by the re-
publican committee are full of life and ac-
tvity all the time Chairman Jeneris has
been forced to adopt the rules In use py
railway and corporation magnates and sta
ton a doorkeeper to admit callers In the
order in which they arrive.
Men who belong to all factions throng
the Mace and they are all enthusiastic
about republican success. Figures ana data
needful in tho campaign are being col
lected, some posted on blackboards and
others reserved for closer attention. Work
on the registration proposition is under full
swing and Monday morning Charley Young
ers and Tom Davis spent several hours at
the city han getting the facts together on
a particular feature of the registration that
the opposition so FAR has overlooked.
one registration day Is provided before
the election May l. II falls on Saturday
April %, and every voter not now regis
tered or improperly registered Will nave MS
last chance to qualify. Otherwise he can't
vote at the election. Special registrations
by affidavit in the city clerks office Will
not do. Persons who have moved since the
registration last fall will go to check In
again. In brief, everybody who was not
registered for the general election last fall
or who has moved since will have to
qualify.
One Of the noticeable things about the
democratic campaign is the way the leaders
are Boosting about the funds at their com
mand. They declare they have all the
money they can use, but are silent as to
where It comes from. In view OF the fact
the May grand jury is TO be asked to
inquire into corporation contributions to
local politics, It 10 assumed that someone
is taking big chances, as evidence Is now
being sought and prepared for the grand
jury session.

The politicians who would haunt Benson
i'm his tracks are placing particular empha-
sis on the story they are using at every
opportunity that as chief executive of the
city Benson would shut-on Sunday base

amusements 20 the greatest possible de-
gree. I am a base ball enthusiast myself.
I do not attend Sunday games myself be-
cause / like to spend that day at home, but
my boys go TO base ball games on Sunday
and much prefer to have them there than
running around the town and risking
chances OF getting into much worse EN-
ployment Far from Crticising innocent
and decent sports and their attendance on
Sunday I believe that these things are
wholesome and preyentives OF vice and
crime The story circulated is only one Of
a number invented by a genuine liars club
that has its gathering place close to the
Dahlman headquarters. II has started
false stories among the BARRIERS that I
would close the barber shops Sundays;
among the gTocers and meat market men
that I would stop their selling a pound

Herbert S. Hadley, the youthful at
torney general Of Missouri, who has
forced the Standard Oil company to
its knees, modestly says of his vic
tory:
II have accomplished no more than
any lawyer of ordinary intelligence
and perseverance could have done. I
was simply trying a lawsuit in law
yer-like way. I was not prosecuting
the Standard OIL company, but only
trying to punish 1t for falling to con-
form to the laws Of Missouri"
In other words, this young lawyer
was simply doing his duty. He was
not engaged in a reform crusade. He
was only acting UP to his responsible

railroads from making a reasonable
amount of money. 1t is desired that
they should prosper grow and extend,
and increase in usefulness, which is
their excuse for existence.
1t is simply proposed 10 be honest
with all the people; to make it i'm
possible for one set of men to pile
up the millions of Rockefeller on
the bodies of another set less favora-
bly, treated by the railroads.
Some of the greatest fortunes the
country knows were builded on dis
honest railroad rates. The entire
rate making business is rotten with
injustice and favoritism. Rate laws
will give the plain people justice.

HELP THE LECTURE COURSE.

Pendleton has the reputation of be-
ing a poor lecture town.
This reputation does not do justice
to the people of Pendleton. 1t is
rather founded upon the fact that the
lectures which have been coldly re-
ceived were perhaps not properly
promoted. and did not reach the
classes that are most deeply interest
ed.
With the schools. churches, wom-
ems clubs and the Commercial asso-
citation behind a first-class lecture
course, it cannot fail Of success.
These influences are backed up by
the solid life of the community
There is demand for some whole
some mental food where there are
1000 school children in a city, as
there are in Pendleton. The COM
munity should be interested in en-
couraging something more than the
minstrel show and the vaudeville.
These are good in their proper
spheres. but the solid citizenship of
the community should see that this
Gloss of amusement and diversion are
not the only attractions for Pendle-
toms young people.
The lecture course now being or
ganized here should receive the
hearty cooperation of business men
The attractions are worldwide ir
their fame. Senator LaFolette and
Sam Jones are men of the most i'm
portant type in public affairs They
represent the two great lines ot
thought of modern times-pOlitica
reform and religion. They will be
refreshing and elevating influences il
Pendleton intellectual circles anC
these two attractions alone should in
duce all the solid people of the com
munity to encourage the course.
The lecture course is not a money
making scheme. If the bills are paiC
and the first-class attractions en-
joyed the whole mission and aim o
the organization will have beer
achieved. Therefore it is of public
interest.
Every citizen is responsible for thu
Intellectual atmosphere which sur
rounds the school children and there
fore every citizen must lend his aiC
in bringing eleyating things to town
which may have a good influence
The evil influences come Of thei
own volition, and are always present
