Case Against Miners Union Officials
Has Been Continued.

Caldwell. Idaho, May 31-When the
cases of Charles H. Meyer, William D.
Haywood and George A. Pettibone,
charged with the murder of former
Governor Frank Stuenenberg came up
in the district court today counsel for
the prosecution, acting upon the sug-
geStiOn made on Tuesday by Presiding
Judge Frank Smith, filed a formal mo-
ton for a continuance on the ground
that habeas corpus proceedings insti-
tuted in the federal courts in behalf
of the defendants are still pending and
serve as a bar to further proceedings
in the state courts until a decision shall
have been rendered by the federal su-
preme court. Judge Smith granted the
motion and exceptions were entered by
the defense and allowed.
An agreement was finally reached as
to the duration of the continuance, at
torneys for both sides stipulating that
the order of court should provide for q
stay of proceedings until the supreme
court shall finally pass on the questions
before it relating to these defendants,
the defendants at the same time ex-
cepting to any order of any nature.
The present outlook is that the ac-
cused members of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners can not be brought to
trial before December next.
Counsel for the defense renewed their
motion to admit the defendants to bail,
but this was denied and the prisoners
will remain in the county jail at Boise.

Pittsburg, Pa. May 31.-Because Of a
statement that has been published
about the country thar Baron Riedle,
who is to marry Louise Magee, niece
and ward of the late Senator Chris L.
Magee, had demanded a dowery Of $780,
600, much unpleasant notoriety has re-
suited and today the family of the laie
senator caused to be given out a denial
that any such demand was ever made.
1t was also stated that Mrs. dagee
would under no circumstances consent
to the payment of a marriage portion
We're such thing possible as It would
be at variance to her principles.
The payment of a dowery, however
is made impossible for the reason that
the AIagee estate was left in trust by
the senator at Mrs. Magee's suzgss-
ton.

incoming Shandon car, Mary
Martin, colored, was ground TO
death and Julia Rawlinson, col
ored, was seriously injured about
s O'Clock last night.
No or will ever know, per-
haps. just why the two women
did not get out of the way OF the
car, as it came down the hill to
the "tin bridge" on east Ger
Was street. The women were
standing almost underneath the
bridge, between Hardin and
Laurens street. They were look.
ing up at train crossing the
railroad bridge overhead and for
that reason did not see or notice
the car coming down on them.
The motorman did not see them
in the shadow until his car Was
almost upon them and he at once
reversed his car, but the car was
running at good speed and down
hill and the women were struck
before he could bring il 10 a
standstill.
When the Car was stopped the
Martin woman was under the
car and it had 10 be raised to get
her out. She was ground literally
to pieces. Her body was crushed
and the brains and blood were
scattered over the tracks and
ground for distance of several
feet. The body was placed by

A Buggy Sixty Years Old.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The buggy In which Joseph +.
Brown, Georgia's civil war Gov
ernOr, drove his bride, in 1915,
from South Carolina to his home
at Canton, GA, has been donated
to the citizens of Canton, Ga, by
Mrs. f l.. Connally who had pur-
chased the old vehicle for him.
The Joseph K. Brown estate
made a formal presentation to
the town OF Canton Friday of the
old Brown homestead and four
acres Of ground, to be used as a
park. AT this time Mrs. Connally
also gave the town the old buggy
in which Governor Brown and his
bride rode all the way from South
Carolina. The vehicle is very val
liable as memento, and will
be placed in the kitchen of the
old-fashioned country mansion,
where it can be carefully pre-.
served from the weather.
The buggy though almost 60
years old, has suffered but little
from the attacks of time, and is
still sound and strong. 1t is
very unusual looking, and has
great tall wheels that rise high
up along the sides. 1t was built
in Atlanta.

Regains Sight after 22 Years.
London cor. Chicago Tribune.

London cor. Chicago Tribune.
A strange case of sight which
was destroyed by one accident
being restored by another is re
ported from Leeds. One day %
years ago, when Marie Louisa
Goodyear, Of Heading, was en-
plOyed as a machinist, her stool
was pulled from under her by a
fellow worker, and when she fell
she struck on her head. The force
of the blow caused pressure of
the optic nerves and she lost
her sight.
Twelvey ears later she fell down
flight of steps. a medical man
who was called in said she had
shaken the optic nerve and de-
clared that if he could give her a
blow on the head her sight might
be restored. He dared not try
the experiment, however, as it
might jeopardize her reason.
Now Miss Goodyear has fallen
down flight of stairs again. The
fail was followed by severe pains
In her head and the sudden re-
turn Of her sight. Her sight is
DOW excellent.

An Appeal to Democrats.
State Chairman Jones Urges
them to Vote in General
Election for Nominees.
Fellow Democrats:

-
In view of the present apathy
which seems to exist among the
Democrats OF this State as to
voting at the general election,
l feel it to be my duty as your
chairman to address you in this
public manner and urge that
you all come out on Nov. 6 and
cast your votes for the Demo-
cratic ticket, from governor to
coroner. Our people have got
ten into the way of thinking that
when they have cast their votes
In the primary there is no furth-
es use to vote. But this is a very
dangerous policy to pursue and
may result in great harm to our
State. Our State ticket is safe,
as the Republicans have put up
no opposition at all.
Our candidates for congress in
the second, fourth and seventh
districts have active Republican
opposition, and it is especially
necessary in these districts that
a full Democratic vote be cast.
My information is that in some
Of the counties Socialist candi-
dates for the legislature will
be run.
If you do not come out and
vote you certainly run the risk
of being represented in cor gress
by conegroes or white Republi-
cans. 1t is conceded by all that
the next house will be very close
and the past history of the Re-
publican party proves that they
will stop at nothing to count in
a working majority. There is no
reason why our congressional
ticket should not receive every
Democratic vote in the State, as
we are absolutely united on ma
tjonal issues.
We have heard of late various
threats that our representation
in congress would be reduced bv
a Republican congress on ac-
count of our small votes in the
general election. Now, fellow
Democrats, do not allow this
serious charge to be made against
you, but come out on Nov. 6 and
cast your vote tor the grandest
and best party this country has
ever had, aud let the world
know that the white men of
South Carolina will always rule
their State.

Republicans to Lose Forty
Seats in House.

The Republicans in Congress
are all at sea as to who will man
age their campaign in the coming
contest. Representative Babcock,
of Wisconsin, announced some
weeks ago that he would not ac-
cept the chairmanship again.
That was before he led the band
of insurgents in the House against
the organization policy with re-
gard to the joint statehood bill.
Mr.. BabcOck does not admit it,
and his friends think it would be
unwise in him to do SO, but it is
said that, aside from wishing to
have someone else bear the bur
denS of the campaign, the WiScOn-
sill member fears that this is q
year of political squalls for his
party. In plain language, the
Wisconsin member has Fremont.
ton that this is going to be a
Democratic year, with the chanc, 8
largely in favor of the Democrats
obtaining control of the next
House of Representatives.
This far in advance OF the cleo
ton most of the Republic Ms ad-
NIT they will lose not less than
forty seats. The Republicans
have a majority of 1l2 in the pres
ent House. A great many people
think this is the largest majority
any party has had in that body
since 1875. They are mistaken.
In the Fifty second Congress the
Democratic majority was much
larger, the Republicans having
just a few more members than
were required to order "a yea and
nay vote. 1t was the result of the
Mckinley tariff bill that was pass
ed in 1890 and the high prices of
the necessities of life after It's
enactment.
The Democrats conf d IDENTIFY
figure OH substantial congressional
gains this year in the States OF
New York, New SerSey, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Missouri, Wisconsin and Caller
MIA. They also calculate to pick
up seats in Michigan, Nebraska,
Kansas and some other States.
