Democrats Get Only One in North.

Senator Duois of Idaho may yet be
the only Democratic Senator from
the entire North. His victory in
carrying the legislature of his state
means his reelection to the Senate
Colorado having gone Republican,
and the chances being that Montana
does the same, Senators Patterson
and Clark will be succeeded by Repub-
licans. There will be left Senator
Teller in Colorado, who has but two
more years to serve. 1t is therefore
quite possible that, unless Delaware
be regarded as a northern state,
Dubois may be the only Northern
Democrat in the Senate.
Delaware will send another Repub-
lican to succeed Alice: Iowa will
re-elect Dolliver: Michigan will send
Republican to succeed Alger;
Cullom will be returned by Illinois;
Burnham will in all probability sue
ceed himself in New Hampshire, New
Jersey will send back Dryden; Nelson
succeeds himself in Minnesota and
Gamble in South Dakota. Joseph
H. Millard in Nebraska will be
succeeded by Morris Brown now
attorney general of that state.
In the South there are no pomises
of changes. Bacon will return from
Georgia Morgan and Pettus are
indorsed in Alabama; Bailey in Texas;
Tillman in South Carolina; McCreary
in Kentucky; Crane will return from
Massachusetts Elkins from West
Virginia; Foster from Louisiana,
Frye from Maine. McLaurin from
Mississippi; Simmons from North
Carolina, and Warren from Wyo-
ming. Rhode Islands choice is
uncertain.

TEXAS-MEXICANS
AMBUSH RANGERS.
Assault Made on Force of State Who GO
to QueII Excitement Arising From
Murder of judge MeIch.

Infamed by the fact that rangers
were being sent to Rio Grande City
to investigate the murder OF Judge
Stanley Welch, a body of Spanish.
speaking Texans attacked Captain
Mcdonald and his rangers and in a
bloody battle lost two dead and three
wounded. Three were captured.
The rangers were en- route from
San Fordyce, a station on the st.
Louis-Brownsville road, to Rio
Grande City. The race feeling has
been intense since the Texas Mexi-
cans were aroused by a decision of
Judge Stanley, when he held that the
Spanish-Americans could not vote
poll taxes which had been paid for by
Spanish-American clubs who con-
trolled their votes.
Judge Welch was found dead in his
bed, shot through the back through
an open window. The body was dis
covered early the morning of the 9th
instant, the assassin having done the
work the night before.
Since that time the feeling has
been so intense that no investigation
of the facts was possible, people
fearing to talk as they believed that
their liyes would be in danger.
Governor Lanham at once ordered
rangers to proceed to Rio Grande
City with the result that the Mexi-
cans, we'll armed, made an attack on
the rangers.
In the battle none of the rangers
was hurt, but an urgent telegram
was sent to Governor Lanham to for
ward reinforcements at once. A
cavalry troop at Corsicana was
wired to prepare to march and
reached there by special train. Cen
eral Hulen and the cavalry company
joined them at Austin.
The situation at Rio Grande City
is most critical. After being in
formed by wire of the situation and
of the battle between the rangers
and the Mexicans, Governor Lanham
forwarded fresh supply of ammuni-
tion.
1t is certain, however, that Judge
Welch was murdered while he was
asleep. He and District Attorney
Kleiber were in the habit, when they
came to Rio Grande City, to hold
court, of sleeping in a little adobe
house containing two rooms.
On account of the heat, windows
and doors were left open. Mr.. Klei-
ber heard a shot during the night,
but thought it was the result of an
election brawl and paid no attention.
Next morning when he went to
awaken Judge Welch he found him
with bullet through his heart.

Big Celebration is Held in Honor of
GAGE for Increasing WAGES.

Last week the miners and citizens
of Tombstone formed a parade and
marched to the residence of f. B.
Gage on Empire Hill, where a celc-
bratiou was held in honor of Mr.
Gage for the voluntary increase in
wages which he granted to his men,
following the example set by the
Warren district companies.
The parade formed on Allen street.
First in line was the Tombstone City
band, and directly back of them
about three hundred miners practi-
cally every man who was not on
shift, next in line came the citizens
of Tombstone, in all about five hun
dred people.
The greatest enthusiasm pervaded
the entire city, and there was much
cheering and singing as the celebra
tors marched towards Empire Hill,
where E. B. Cages residence is To-
Gated. AS soon as the hill was reach
ed, everyone started calling for Mr..
Gage, and finally he came out onto
his porch. On behalf of the miners
and citizens j. N. Gaines made d
speech of thanks, in which he re-
minded Mr.. Gage that the people of
Tombstone appreciated what the
mining companies were doing for the
camp, which would know but little
prosperity without them. He finally
concluded by thanking the president
for the generous raise which was
free-will offering.
Loud calls were made for a speech,
and Mr.. Gage responded, saying that
the company had faced almost insur-
mountable difficulties which rendered
the working of the mines very un-
profitable business. He then went on
to say that by the faithful assistance
of their employees they had now over
come all difficulties, and placed the
mines on a paying basis. He stated
that in the past the company was
forced to ask the miners to work for
s3 per day, but that the raise had
been contemplated for some time
past. He said that they had done all
that they felt they could at the pres
ent time, in raising miners wages to
50 so per day, but added that if the
of the mines and other
disappeared in the future
as rapidly as they have so far, an
other raise may be expected.
Mr.. Gage was cheered time and
again, and the whole assembly finally
returned to their homes in happy
frame of mind.-P rospector.

Alleged Kiss Almost Cost GOvernOrship.

The famous kissing charge by Mrs.
w. E. Stanley against Governor Hoch
almost lost him the governorship of
Kansas. A majority of $4,000 was
expected but he barely squeezed in
for second term.
Governor Hoch vigorously denied
the kissing episode, but it was made
d campaign issue by his opponents
and campaign orators expatiated on
1t.
Mrs. Stanley made her charge on
the eye of the republican state con-
vention. In spite of the sensation
and the declaration of delegates that
"the campaign will be nightmare to
U.S." Hoch was renominated. In her
public statement, Mrs Stanley, wife
of former governor, declared that
Hoch attempted to kiss her in his
private Office, when she consulted
him on business.

WINS VICTORY OVER
MIGHTY COLORADO.
Col. EpeS Randolph Had Satisfaction Of
Seeing Entire Colorado Flow Into
the Old Channel.

The Colorado was successfully
turned back into its old channel last
week.
The victory over the river, which
has caused hundreds of thousands of
dollars damage, marks the success
tul conclusion of one of the greatest
engineering feats ever attempted in
the southwest.
Colonel Epes Randolph, who was in
charge of the great undertaking, has
been on the scene for several weeks
and has been personally directing the
work. All along Colonel Randolph
has felt confident of ultimate sue
cess, but he has been very conserva-
tive in his predictions.
More than a week ago y portion of
the river was started down the old
channel. This was the first victory,
but it was only partial. However,
the victory was made complete.
1t is remembered that expert en-
gineers who visited Imperial declared
that the mighty Colorado could not
be turned back. Without exception
it was declared that the river was
too powerful to be conquered.
In the meantime the flow of the
Colorado into the Saltou Sea was
gradually raising that body of water
and the Southern Pacific was COM
PEELED to raise its tracks several
times at great expense.
Colonel Randolph investigated the
situation and stated that a dam
could be built across the Colorado
which would turn its course. Work
was commenced Immediately and it
has been carried to a successful COM
Dletion

PROTECT 1T in TINE.

Law to Stop Alteration of "star
Spangled Bannern Needed.
The continued carplng at 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" words and music,
as a national hymn, has evidently I'm
pressed some minds with the idea that
the text of the anthem is entitled to no
respect whatever. and that any one who
can write rhyme is at liberty to gar
bic. 1t to suit himself.
Recently one of the leading music
publishers of the country issued an edi-
ton Of "The Star Spangled Banner"
in which the authors original third
stanza has been radically and consider
ably amended by some unknown bard.
The amendment, though plainly ana
chronlstic, will probably be accepted by
the public and in the course of time
-supersede the correct version. Ii this
sort Of thing keeps on there will soon
be nothing left of the original poem.
There is no law to prevent any one
who. .pleases from rewriting the words
OF ',rhe Star Spangled Banner to suit
himself, but no one has the right to pre-
sent his own alterations as If they were
the original words written by Francis
Scott Key and first published in the
Baltimore American in September,
1914. Laws to: protect the national flag
have been found necessary. There
seems to be need, too, of a law to pro-
tect the national hymn.-Rocheste

Scott sCnmmins, the poet of Win.

puncher in the Northwest many years
ago. His outfit came to Enake River
one day with. three thousand cattle.
C.lmmins, with a poets license, re-.
lates what happened:
1.-THE river was too dangerous for
swimming, but after following the
bank short distance the foreman
found giant redwood tree that had
fallen across the river. Fortunately
the tree was hollow, and, making a
chute, they had no trouble in driv-
ing the cattle through the log to the
other side.
GAS the cattle had not been counted
for several days, one of the cowboys
was stationed to count them as they
emerged from the log. The count fell
short some three hundred head, but
about that time distant lowing was
heard.
Their surprise may be imagined
when on looking about they found that
the cattle had wandered off into a
hollow limb - Kansas City Star.
