and corpses of drowned hope lie thicker
than dead fish after deep freeze along
its strand. Wrecks of political flotillas
line it's shores. Across its tossing bill
lows comes the low wall of lamenta-
ton. the voices of Pete Marcy, Perkins
and Joe Blythe weeping over their
not. Torn by the tornado of public
opinion, racked by the waves of hon-
est indignation, rudderless ,dismasted,
and waterlogged the galleons of the
corporation are wreckage on and un-
der the waters of Spirit Lake.
For days the storm has ragged and
raved. Long ago it was seen that the
Blythe-Perkins fleet was in a desper-
ate situation. The signal corps got
famed on every cliff. Pete" Marcy,
Ike Struble and other Blythe pilots
frantically waved flags and fired guns.
With the fortitude of the wives of
Brixham, Uncle George came to Spirit
Lake and burned his bed as beacon.
1t was all of no avail In the climax
of the storm yesterday the anxious
watchers saw the Blythe ships found

Today the lake is smiling and dimp-

The Journal for anti pass legisla-

"A whole paragraph in July, 1905, saying
1t may be sensible anti-pass law can

islature"? Wasn't that heroic work
In the interest of reform? What legis
ature could withstand the suggestion
Of a four-line paragraph that the leg
islalure might be able to devise and
pass a sensible anti pass law?
While the law was pending, when the
fight was on, the journal was silent II
stood by and looked on without extend
ing so much as helping hand The
Journal even put the bill in a ludicrous
position by insisting for some ridicu-
lous reason, that the law should pro-
nibit country newspaper editors from
selling advertising for transportation.
Not one word in all the time the bill
was pending, before it passed the sem
ate unanimously and was certain of
passage by the house did the Journal
harping upon an amendment against
the exchange of newspaper space for
advertising, an amendment plainly inn
possible from a legal standpoint.
But still Mr. Perkins says he is for

rived at her Pennsylvania home last night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson drove into
Springdale a suburb Of this city, early in
the evening in a swell trap, coming over
the country from New Remington. The
Patterson residence, which has been closed
since the death of the first Mrs. PattesS
son, had been in the hands of caretakers
and renovators for several days, and this
excited suspicion. All attempts, however
to ascertain the cause Of the apparent un-
usual activity were met with rebuffs. Last
night when the bride and groom arrived
the villagers were prepared and veritable
charivari greeted them.
Keep right on marching, and be quick
about It, or I'll turn the dogs on you"
This was the salutation that greeted the
village drum corps that assembled before
the residence.
Despite the warning the musicians con-
tinued their march. circling the house and
