GLENN SUGGESTS OBEDIENCE
Proposes Southern Railway Make Test
Of Law Till Next Legislature.

New York, Aug. Ex-Governor
Glenn OF North Carolina just previous
to his departure for home had a con.
ference with A. II. Thorn, the general
counsel of the Southern railway. In
speaking of the conference, Governor
Glenn said:
Il made two suggestions to Mr..
Thorn, the first of which was that we
stop the taking of testimony until the
two suits, n from the United States
circuit court and the other from the
state court, are appealed, so that the
supreme court of the United States
can pass on the jurisdiction of the
two courts, and that after this was
done each party could decide what
course to take. My second suggestion
vas that the railroads stop their suits
and try TO live under the 2A-cent rate,
and II after giving the law a trial they
find that they canno continue under
1t and live then they should appeal to
the justice and the fair-mindedness OF
the people in the state OF North Car.
DINA 10 right the wrong, and 1t should
be DONE
Mr.. Thorn told Governor Glenn that
he would bring his suggestions 10 the
attention of the Southern officials and
let him know as soon as possible.

pAHLMAN HANDY WITH LARiAT
omaha's Mayor, However, Refuses to
Ride Dynamite, the Outlaw Horse.

Omaha, Aug. 20.-MeXican Joe was
to blame for spelling the good sport
scheduled to take place at the Pawnee
Bill show grounds. The enterprising
press agent had organized a first class
conspiracy against Mayor Dahlnan in
the way Of a cordial invitation TO the
city's chief executive to ride a bron-
chic.
At first the mayor demurred. He
wasn't sure the saddle would fit him,
but after he had got into a pair of cow
boy chaps" he had confidence
in himself. Everything was going
lovely when Mexican Joe, the mar
who has charge of the wild horses,
was instructed to put the saddle ON
the mildest one of them.
ME got no mild one he said.
The Mexican then approached with
Dynamite" the outlaw horse. When
the mayor heard its name he decided
that he wouldn't get aboard.
Later the mayor made several cor
ect passes with the lariat, giving an
exhibition of skill that showed he had
not forgotten.

REIGN OF TERROR IN RUSSIA
Concerted Movement Thought to In.
clude Attempt on Life Of Gar.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 2l.-Another
reign OF terror has been i~naugurated
throughout the empire by revolution
lists. Colonel Schmoetter, governor
of Bielostok and personal friend of
the GEAR, was assassinated. The bomb
exploded within a few feet of him and
he was blown to pieces.
The chief OF police of Jarul and his
wife were seriously hurt and two
pedestrians killed by another bomb en-
plosion. The bomb was hurled at the
chief as he and his wife were driving
through the streets OF Barum.
Other %terrorists' attempts on prom
inent officials have occurred in widely
separated parts of the empire. There
is every indication of a concerted
movement on the part OF the revolu-
tionists. which, 1t is thought, includes
an attempt on the life of the ear
