A Dnngerons Combine.

The rivalry in New York between
the Republican factions is so mixed up
with railroad and trust domination Of
the G. o. p. that it becomes Of national
interest. The frenzied fnanciers and
the politicians have joined hands to
control the political destinies of the
nation, but there is a contest between
the two centralized groups of Wall
street for supremacy. On one hand
are the ockefeller-Harriman group,
with Odel! as the political leader, and
these hope to see Fairbanks nominated
for President; opposed to them are
the Morgan-Vanderbilt group, with
Root and his friends expecting to die
tate a successor to Plat for United
States Senator and the control of the
delegation to the next National Con-
yention. No wonder the voters Of New
York repudiated both factions at the
last election and are looking to the
Democracy to preserve them from the
corruption and grating that naturally
follows the association of corporations
and political leaders.
All the protestations of Secretary
shaw that ne was trying to aid legiti-
mate business by doing what Wall
street asked with the deposit Of public
money, seems to have gone for naught,
for the stock gamblers are the only
people that have benefited The reduc-
tion Of the rate on call loans, which
followed the action of the treasury, was
not also successful in reducing the rate
on business paper. which was OF much
more Importance to the general public.

SAVED FROM
And Given Life Sentence, Fate
of Aggie Myers

Jefferson City, Mo-, April
Imprisonment for

her husband, Clarence Myers,
and like punishment for
Frank Hoffman, her accom-
plice and paramount, rather

TO be the fate of the pair. The

The couple were to have been

ed at Lexington, 1884, seventy
three years ago, for the MUIR

Mrs. Myers was first SEN
fenced to be hanged in Sep

appealed to the supreme court
which affirmed the finding of
the trial court, fixing June 30,
1905, rs the date Of her exc

has been granted four re.
spites. In each instance
where such clemency was
shown to her was extended to

pretty smooth for Ayers; his own
words are in testimony of that fact.
Here are the burning sentences he
wrote to the wife who was the mother
of his eleven children, and the sweet
heart of his youth:
Il fell in love with her, and, oh, such
love. Jane. L have read love stories
all my life, but l did not believe there
was such great love. l can't
help it, and she can't help it. / am as
powerless as little babe to withstand
it. Well, it's just like tits: If I could
by not seeing her any more, live and
have plenty to eat and wear, and live
100 years, or live with her twelve
months and die, l would take the
twelve months with her. Jane,
thought 1 loved you, but l have never
loved any woman but her."
Ten of the eleven children are now
living, and stand firmly and steadfast-
ly by their mother; they believe that a
true and good mother in Utah, a moth
er who bore them and reared them, is
a better guide for their future than all
the twin souls that could be found be-
tween Atlanta and any or all points
within a radius of fifty miles.
