soy-pynamiter Pleads Guilty.

Denver.-Kemp v. Biglow pleaded
guilty to the four charges against him
in the West Side Court Saturday,
when he was arraigned before Judge
Bliss. 1t was setting and pleading day
and it was the day on which it was ex-
pected that the date Of Biglow's trial
would be set. When his name was
called, his attorney, d. B. Ellis, arse
and stated that he wished to withdraw
their former plea of not guilty and mo-
tions that he had previously filed, as
his client had decided to plead guilty.
Then Biglow arose, and, in a calm
voice without any show of emotion
whatever, entered a plea of guilty to
each of the four charges. The
charges were assault with intent to
kill Governor H. A. Buchtel, Lawrence
Phipps and c. B. Kountze and at
tempting to work a confidence game
upon c. B. Kountze.
Biglow was convicted when first
tried of committing simple assault up
on David H. Moffat, which is punish
able by short Jail sentence. The dis
trict attorneys office thought that the
boy was getting off with too light a
sentence and asked the court that the
verdict be set aside. This was done,
and he was at once rearrested on the
four charges mentioned above.
Biglow is the "boy-dynamiter," who
believed that he could send dynamite
to Denver's leading citizens and then
then tell them that their lives were in
danger and get, for doing this. large
reward.

Romance To-Day.

To our forefathers each new mani
festation was a matter of ocular ex-
citement. The fingers Of the cotton
gin took the place of human fingers.
At the coming of ether an amputation
was transformed from a scene of tor
ture to placid process In mechanics.
Crowds gathered to see Fulton's devil
boat churn its way slowly up the Hud-
son, or to watch the first locomotive
putting and clanking through the
meadows. Even with the development
OF electricity wires stretched taut
against the sky; the strand of cable
might be seen as 1t began its plunge
beneath the Atlantic. Yet 1t has re-
manned for the matter-of-fact utiliza-
tion Of wireless telegraphy to bring
US. In science, the height of romance,
says Golfers Weekly To-day a mer-
chant wishes to telegraph to his buyer
In London; forthwith his half-dozen
words are shot to the tip OF pole be-
side the seashore, flicked into the sky,
and sucked out OF space to lonely
spar on the cost of Ireland. There is
here as much magic of romance as
the world ever seen.

Some New York high school boys
are planning a record walk in imita-
tion Of Weston. A boom in favor of
reviving the lost art Of pedestrianism
is not in itself bad one. It cannot be
kept up at extremes. owing to the pru-
dent provision of nature in putting the
limit of exhaustion; 1t cannot cause
collisions and killings. and 1t is of
great benfit to health. Besides it will
prove useful when automobiling and
motoring OF various kinds have
reached the extreme of reaction and
people evince desire to return to the

JOHN D. SAYS IT Is OvER.-"The
worst Is over" said John D. Rockefel-
fer last Sunday when asked his opin-
ion regarding the financial situation.
1t was at the close Of the service at
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church which
he attended, that Mr.. Rockefeller gave
his opinion to friends There was no
necessity for that worst to have ever
appeared" he continued, but of course
we are bound to feel the effects of it for
some time"
What do you think was the real
cause of the panic?" he was asked.
"Oh, there were a number Of causes,
they all happened to combine and came
to a head at once. All these combined
forces created uneasiness and lack of
confidence. When you remove conf
dence from the business world trouble
Is bound to ensue. Confidence will be
restored gradually, and we will resume
our normal condition. This is too great
a country to be held down."
do you believe President Roosevelt's IS
policy in attacking the trusts contribut-
ed to cause the financial conditions?''
NO, l believe President Roosevelt to
be actuated by the best Of motives and
have no criticism to make of any kind.
This financial condition was foreseen
long before II was felt. Several well
known men pointed out that it was
bound to come unless means were
adopted to stop it-New York dispatch,

1t is Generally
Conceded

That the proper course
for the farmers, under existing condi-
tons, Is to hold their cotton. There
can be little doubt Of the fact that II
they all hold long enough they will
win and when they do win their VIC
tory will be Of untold value not only
to them but to all classes In the south.
therefore everybody Is vitality inter-
ested. There are some who may be
forced to borrow money In order to
hold and there are scores OF others
who can hold as long as they see At
without borrowing. The vast major
ity Of this latter class are keeping
their cotton at home. II the farmer
who has his cotton at home should
have the misfortune to have II de-
stroyed by fire, why then he would
wish he had sold even at 10 cents,
provided It was not insured. It Is a
part of my business to Insure Cotton
on Farms. The cost Of insuring bale
Of cotton for $50 for six months Will
be S1.45 or about "a cents per month.
II the bale is insured for $45 for the
same length Of time the cost per
month viii be 1S cents. insure cot
ton for its Full Value and In case OF
loss Pay its Market Value the Day or
Night It Is Burned. Can you AFFORD to
carry the risk when a company with
Millions Of assets will assume 1t for so
small cost?

Train Crashes into Carriage Mangling
Occupants Frightfully.

Four persons, employees of the Nor
wood house at Allenhurst, n. j., were
instantly killed Wednesday night
when their carriage was run down
by a Pennsylvania passenger flyer,
known as the bankers special, at the
Corlies avenue crossing. They were
Thomas Edwards, driver, and Lor-
eta Grace, Jennie Mcdonald and
Hannah Murphy, mattresses.
The Corlies crossing is just south
of the local station of the New York
G. Long Branch railroad, and the sta
ton platform was crowded with sum-
mer visitors, who witnessed the acci-
dent. Edwards had stopped his team
at the crossing, where an excursion
train, drawn up at the station block
ed the road.
AS the excursion train drew out,
Edwards started his horses, and the
carriage was squarely on the rails,
when the flyer, southbound, and the
approach of which had been hidden
by the oppositely moving special, tore
across the roadway. Horses. carriage
and occupants were ground to bits
the bodies of Edwards and the wo-
men being frighfully mangled.

S46. There will be no contest over
