Seems to casual observer that the
gang should receive credit for their

If the gang are to be blamed for sins
of omission and commission generally,
why not give them credit when they
do a good thing Even the most ram
pant insurgent cannot help saying
Governor White gave us nearly four
years of good administration work as
chief executive and that state affairs
have been managed we'll. We believe
in kicking when there is something
real and tangible to kick at.

SPORTING NEWS.

One of the most remarkable features
of the major league baseball season
of 1906 is wonderful August run Of
victories for the two teams represent
ing Chicago in the National and Amer
lean leagues. The Nationals, under
Husk Chance, have been the leagues
leaders all season and with their re-
cent run of victories have practically
cinched the pennant. But by a stiH
more marvellous squirt, in which the
two teams formerly at the top of the
league race have been their principal
opponents, the " Alte Sox have forged
far into the lead of the bunch and
are now not only regarded as pennank
possibilities, but as pennant probable
tiles.

William e. Smythe, the gifted writer
and talker, who is perhaps more near
ly responsible than any other one
man for the organization of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress at Salt Lake
in 1891, while acting as editor of the
Irrigation Age at Denver, is again
bringing his pen to bear upon the
need of such an organization, empha-
sizing the good that it has done i'm
the past, and the Immediately greater
good that it is possible for it to ac-
eomplish in the future.
The citizens of Deadwood, s. D., are
planning to send a large delegation
to the National Irrigation congress, at
Boise, September to s, bringing with
them an invitation to the congress to
hold the fifteenth annual session in
the Black Hills metropolis.

GEN. MIN MURDERED
YOUNG WOMAN FIRED FIVE SHOTS
INTO HIS BODY.
He Was Commander of the Seminov-
sky Guard-Personal Guard OF EN-
pc or-Reds Had Tried to Reach
Him Three Times Before-Mme.
Min Threw Herself on Murderess.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 27.--The I'M
successful attempt on the life of Pre-
mier Stolypin, with it's sickening USE
less slaughter of 81 persons, was fol-
lowed Sunday night by another revo-
lutionary outrage in which General
Min, commander of the Sem1novsky
guard regiment, and who since his
promotion to be general has been
attached as personal adjutant to the
suite of the emperor, was killed on
the station platform at Peterhof by
young woman, who fired i've SHOTS
into his body from an automatic re-
volver and then without resistance
submitted to arrest.
This was the third successive at
tempt on the life of General Min, who
was condemned to death by the ter
rorists Immediately after the Moscow
revolt last December on account OF
stern repressive measures practiced
by a battalion under his command,
and especially for the wholesale exc
cution of persons condemned by
drumhead courtmartial for being
caught with arms in their hands.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence in Peterhof and
had just greeted his wife and daugh-
ter on the platform when a young wo-
man-almost girl-approached from
| behind and fired two shots into his
back and then three more into his
body as it sank to the ground. Fur
Their shots were prevented by Nine.
Min, who threw herself upon the muir
deress and seized the hand which he'd
the pistol. The woman did not at
tempt to escape, but she cautioned
Nine. Min not to touch handbag
which she had placed on the platform
before shooting General Min, adding
that it contained bomb.
| To the police the girl acknowledged
that she had done the deed, saying
that she had executed the sentence OF
the fighting organization of the social
revolutionists, but she refused to give
her name.
| During the Moscow revolt, Min, who
was then a colonel, commanded the
First battalion of the Seminovsky
guard, which operated within the city
| itself.
The death sentence had long hung
over the head of General Min owing to
the disfavor into which he had fallen
because of alleged harsh methods and
cruelty. It was General (then col
oneD Min, who commanded the Sem
inovsky regiment when the people
were shot down near the theological
institute in St. Petersburg on October
81, and who, it was said, wanted to SET
the buildings of the institute on fire
and roast the students inside.

Higher Education for Farmers.

cussions of why boys leave the farm
and why some boys take to 4arming-
vital questions today-The September
Century will present another paper
from the director Of the College of
Agriculture of Cornell university.
Prof. Bailey's discussion of "The Ag,
ricultural College and the Farm-youth'
is based, as his former papers have
been, on facts and figures gathered
at first hand from Cornell university
students. Naturally, Prof. Bailey
pleads for higher education for the
farm-youth; and his arguments are
certain to be worthy Of thoughtful
consideration.

FIGHTING FOR CONTROL.
Railroad Magnates Want Milwaukee &
st. Paul Railroad.


A financial battle, with $25,0O0,0 900
in cash and the control of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway sys-
tenn, is on between ]. Pierpont Morgan
and E. H. Hartman.
In the battle are involved twice as
many millions Of dollars and three
times as many thousands of miles of
railroad as were represented in the
famous fight for possession of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy, which re-
suited in the memorable Northern Pa
cific corner, when the price of that
stock was rushed up to $1,000 share
and panic in Wall street followed.
The opposing forces consist of ]. P.
Morgan, James j. Hill and their
friends, foreign capitalists on one side,
and E. H. Hartman, practical owner
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific railroads, with Sir William Van
Horne, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy as
controllers of the vast Canadian Pa
cific system, with their friends on the
other.
Remaining neutral for the time be-
ing, but inclined to throw their weight
to Hartman, are James H. Smith and
William Rockefeller, as principal
stockholders in the St. Paul.
On the outcome of the war depends
whether the st. Paul road is to be ex'
tended to the coast (for which purpose
a $25,O00,000 new stock issue was vot
ed) in a northerly direction, and SC
seriously injure the traffic of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific sys
