Choking OF I1le Radical

The Brooklyn Eagle, ST. Clair Nc
kelWays democratic newspaper, prints
Il dispatch from Washington in which
it is said that John Sharp Williams
will read the riot act to Mr.. Bryan
while in Europe The Eagle says that
Mr.. Williams will inform Mr. Bryan
in no uncertain way that if he wants
the support Of the solid south for the
presidency in 1908 he must abandon
the idea of government ownership Of
railroads. Of course, the whole story
may be a fabrication, but it is prin led
upon seeming authority and for he
moment, at least. it must be accepted
at is face value. If that is indeed the
mission of Mr. Williams then we must
give him credit for greaer ability and
brains than he has displayed hereto
fore. The democrats are not at all
pleased with the fact that Mr. Roose-
welt stole Mr.. Bryan's campaign
thunder regarding a rate bill, which
has gone before the world as a repub-
lican measure. Now TO be more rldi-
cal than the enemy, many demOc, ats
ownership, among them. The argu-
ment that government ownership Of
transportation lines will eliminate the
Jim Crow car is about the weakest
and the poorest offered to date be-
cause there are stronger and greater
reasons why the railroads should BE-
kept out of the hands of the United
States and the realm of politics
It is 10 be seriously doubted, how
ever. if Bryan is rs radical as some
people are apt to believe. Hearst is
the municipal ownership man and ne
would gladly include railroads in his
platform. but so far as the actual ben
etitS and comforts are concerned, that
Hearst platform is a myrth. The world
IS growing wiser in that respect every
Gay. North Carolina has had it's les
son, and while the wild-eyed. pOpuustiC
tribe continually weepS because the
Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad
was lifted out of politics the masses
are delighted and impressed with he
wisdom of the new plan. Recently
this newspaper called attention 10 The
diSgraceful conditions existing in Penn
Sylvania when the CaSSatt road was
under the management Of the st1te.
which were infinitely worse than any
conditions of the present day. II Mr.
Bryan hopes TO secure the nOminatlOh

which would increase the cost of that
embassy. The other reason is said to
be that while a minister can only re
quest an audience with the ruler of the
country to which he is accredited and
must await the latter's pleasure in
granting it, an ambassador has the
right to demand an audience. Our read
ers know how hard it always is for
ministers to get before the sultan when
they have any complaints to make.

Especial to Review.)

TOMBSTONE, Sept 6.-The fol- lowing cases have recently been filed in the Clerks office to be tried at the coming term of the District Court It will be noticed that a majority of them are divorce cases, and all from Bisbee:
 Geo. Kalar has brought an action for a writ of mandate against c. A. Mcdonald, justice of the peace of Bis bee, to grant change of venue in d case that was set for trial before him. The complaint alleges that Kalar was made a defendant in an action in the Justice Court brought by Mrs. Mary Kinsey for debt of $57. and that when he filed his answer he asked for a change of venue and filed four affi- davits in regard to the same. and that the Justice of the Peace made an or der granting the change to Lowell, but afterward refused to send the papers down there until Kalar had paid the McDonald's, court. amounting to SIT, which Kalar refused to do, and he now asks the District Court to com pei the Justice to grant the change. claiming that he is not liable for the costs of s17, that his costs in the court were only s2.50. which he had paid.
 Chas. Fish, of Bisbee. has brought an acticn for divorce against Ella Fish, on the grounds of assertion He alleges that they were married in Tucson in July, 1904, and that in Jan uary, 1905, that the defendant willful- ly and without just cause deserted the plaintiff.
 Chas. T. List wishes to have the court scratch the name of Mabel List off his list. on the grounds that he was roped into marrying her by fraud ulent means, and when in fear of his life, and that after marrying her he only lived with her for one day The complaint is of sensational charac- ter, and would hardly look well in print. List is also resident of Bis bee. The alleged Kidnapping took place in California in July, 1905.
 John Kirby has filed an action fo. divorce against Mary F. Kirby, on the grounds of desertion. He al- leges that they were married in Iowa in October. 1893, and that in October, 1904, that he was wIllfully deserted by the defendant and that there is no community property or issue of the marriage. Mir. Kirby is also a resi- dent of Bisbee.
 John Zamerleen ct al. have brought action against Albert Heffer for dam ages in the sum of $700 or the recoy- e.y Of a team of horses and was; m which he alleges is being i-eDt f.nm him by the defendant

.SWEDE IS LOST IN MOUNTAINS AT CANANEA
Had Been on a Drinking De- bauch and Escaped From His Guards - Man Is Be- lieyed to Be Demented.
Especial to Rsyiexl

CANANEA. Sept. 6.-Friends of Axe Johnson. a Sweede, about 90 years of age. residing at Puerticitos. are much distubed by his continuous non-ap- pesrance and greatly fear that during a sudden fit of insanity. brought on by taking a whiskey "cure." he wandered away in the mountains and committed suicide: or else. becoming weak from out of the way places from sheer ex- haustion died where he lay.
 Jonson was a man of remarkable fine physique He was considered by his friends and acouaintances a "Jolly good fellow" In sustaining this reputation as 2 bon vivant he would go out with the crowd" frequently and would go reeling to his room fiom the effect Of his potations.
 After a particularly hard spree Jon son going to Superintendent Howard of the Puert'citos mine. asked him to advance money to take a flag cure" recommended to him by friends. AT ter short talk Howard consented and Jonson placed himself in charge of the men owing the cure who are residents e Capote.
 The sudden cessation from drinking coupled with the effects of the "cure" OH his system made him temporarily little better than lunatic. His craving for drink fighting the benef- cial influence of the cure administered deranging his mind
 On the night of Saturday. August 2. Jorson appeared so much improved in both mental and bodily health that the guards placed over him left him for few moments going into another room. On returning they found Jon son had escaped in their absence. The only article of clothing missing was nrir ot overalls.
 Supposing he wc-ld return shortly the attendants waited for several hours before starting an active search. not informing Superintendent Howard Of his disappearance fo nearly three hours.
 His friends were at first of the opinicn that hunger would bring him to his senses and he would soon re- turn. They are now mrch worried over his fate believing that he has either committed suicide or died of hunger and exposure.
 -Jonson is described as being smooth shaven at the time he wandered of had light hair. blue eyes. and rosy cheeks He is said to have been a good miner in his sober senses al though inclined to be slightly fighty.
 A murder theory was at first ad- snced but as he is no. known 10 have had any enemies this has been put aside cc improbable.

MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE.
Verdict of Jury in the Case Of Henry
Sussman at MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis, Dec. 19.-The jury in
the case of Henry Sussman, on trial
for the murder of his wife in the Glen
wood hotel here on Sept. rs, returned
verdict Of murder In the second de-
gree. This, under the statute, carries
with it a life Imprisonment penalty.
Sussman, in court prior to the an
nouncement of the verdict, and for
some time afterwards, showed that he
was under great nervous strain. He
had partially recovered himself when
taken out of the courtroom and was
heard to remark:
' This is h of a Christmas
present to give fellow"
Notwithstanding this expression the
opinion is that Sussman was relieved
on hearing the verdict
The jury he outset were divided
into three Sc ons-one favoring MUIR
der in the first degree, another MUIR
der in the second degree and a third
manslaughter in the first degree.
