THREATENS LIFE
OF TAXIDERMIST
C2azed by Drink, Stranger
Frightens Lake Shore
Residents.
Captured by Police After Most
Exciting Chase Through
Woods.

A wild, disheveled man,
crazed with drink and running at
large, gave the peaceful residents
along the upper lakeshore quite
a ut OF terror the other day. He
knt cked at several doors and
even threatened to kill Henry
Buenther, the taxidermist, and
it was only after a most exciting
chase led by Chief Of Police Bal
ley and participated in by a
crowd of men and boys, that the
man was finally captured and
locked up.
Once caught the fellow acted
quietly enough and gave his
name to the police as John Nc
Nevins. He even promised to be
good, but it was too late and he
was given a chance to gaze
through prison bars until he was
properly punished.
The fun started along about
day break when McNeuins came
up to a hack driver on down
town street and tried to start a
"roughhouse. - The driver
wasn't feeling so inclined, how
ever, and telephoned for the
police, but before the officers
could get to the scene, the crazy
man had gone.
I. He ran off toward the lake, and
although every effort was made
to locate him, he was not to Ie
found and the sea -ch was Civ n
up until Chief Bailey should
arrive. Shortly after 9 O'clock
the chief and Captain Helmer
started for the woods bordering
on the lake and soon found traces
Of their man.
He had created quite a dis
turbance among the women and
children along the boulevard and
had tried to force an entrance
into Buenther's house. The
taxidermist ordered him away,
and with many mutterings he
went. but only to return with
threats of shooting and other,
dire means of death.
The wild man kept out of sight
Of the officers, but they managed
to turn his flank and drive him
back toward town and finally
captured him in a down town
saloon.

Man Who Is Said to Have Thrown
Bomb at Madrid.

Madrid, June 5.-The capture and
suicide at Torrejon de Ardos of Man
uel Morales, the chief suspect in the
bomb outrage against King Alfonso
and Queen Victoria, adds another
dramatic chapter to the incidents sur
rounding the royal wedding.
Morales was recognized in the little
town of Torrejon de Ardos, midway
between Madrid and Alcala A guard
sought to detain him, but Morales,
drawing a revolver, shot the guard
dead
Then he turned to flee, but a mum.
Der of the inhabitants of the town
were upon him and, turning the re-
yolyer upon himself, he sent a shot
into the region of his heart, expiring
few minutes later.
Senor Cuesta, proprietor on the hotel
from the balcony of which Morales
threw the bomb, viewed the body and
identified it as that of his recent
guest.

were exchanged and the firing only
ceased after the guards ammunition
had been exhausted The guard then
retired from the field and returned to

The ambuscade, it. is said, was ar
ranged because of an alleged assault

Publication of Politics

In the history of American politics
the year 1905 will mark an awakening
Of the nations voting citizenship to a
new realization of its responsibilities
and its powers and as the beginning
of the end of the kind of commercial
lied party dictatorship which for more
than a generation had held the mass
Of voters in thrall. The fact that the
national issues of monetary standard,
tariff and imperialism had been left
behind with the receding presidential
year and that the Republican party
was more strongly intrenched in pow
er by reason of President Roosevelt's
phenomenal personal popularity with
the people of all sections tended to
clear the track for the entry Of reform

Not only the Equi-
table, but the New York Life, the Mu-
tual, Mutual Reserve and others, un-
der the relentless vivisection of Coun-
sci Hughes, shocked the public by their
various diseases of extravaganza, leg
islative bribery and political corrup-
ton. Both of New Yorks senator's, ex-
Governor Odell and minor political
lights were dimmed in one way or
another by these revelations. The adj
mitted large contributions to campaign
funds, mostly to the Republican party
in recent years, tended TO place that
party's campaign managers on the de-
fensive and the administration voiced
q quite general demand for federal
control of the great interstate insur-
ance concerns.
The issue as to Chinese exclusion
was raised by the anti-American boy
colt in China and the president prompt
ly moderated the execution of the ex-
listing law. The personal popularity
of President Roosevelt and support of
his policies were increased by his ex-
tensive journeys, first in April through
the southwest territories and states to
his hunting vacation in Colorado and
in October through the south to New
Orleans, not to mention several shorter
excursions.
The short session which brought the
Fifty eighth congress to a close March
4 was noted chiefly for what it failed
to do. Aside from the appropriations,
totaling $S1S,47S,914, the only impor-
tant matter agreed upon by both
houses was placing the Panama canal
administration entirely in the presi-
dents hands. The house passed, 326 to
II, the Esch-Townsend rate bill, in
dorsed by the president, but it was
pigeonholed by the senate. The seven
arbitration treaties failed owing to the
insistence of the senate on its right to
administrations reported agreement
with Santo Domingo. Later the form
al Domingo treaty reached the senate,
but failed Of ratification, and a con-
ditional agreement for the collection
and holding of Domingo's revenues
was made by the president. A blot
on the session was the houses effort to
get mileage allowed for the construc-
tive recess, the bill being killed by the
senate. Other important bills that fail
ed after much effort were those for
statehood of the territories and pure
food. The house impeached Federal
Judge Swayne Of Florida. and on Feb.
p his trial by the senate resulted in
acquittal of the Compton charges.

The End of the Battle.

The little tin soldiers are scattered
about,
And the little play war is done;
No longer the captains commandingly
shout,
No longer they fall as they run.
Peace came to the camp when the lights
were lit,
But their rifles the soldiers keep;
And the battle and strife of little boy 5
life
Stopped short when he fell asleep
We found him at rest on the parlor
floor,
In the midst of his soldiers grand;
He'd pillowed his head on the drum he
wore,
With his toy sword still in hand.
And his face was lit with a soft sweet
smile
That only child car know;
And we knew he played where fairies
strayed
And soldiers are but for show.
All! brave little boy, some day, perhaps
On a sterner field you'll fight;
And we hope when you hear the sound
OF taps
You'll sleep as you sleep tonight.
Your soldiers then won't be made of tin
And your battles won't be for fun;
But as peace comes now, may it smooth
your brow
Each night with the setting sun.

Thus the 20,000,000 communicates of
thirty different church organizations

others which has put new hope and

conference in excluding the Unitarian
delegates, not on personal but on doc
trinal grounds, is not regarded as al
