To a newspaper man or any one
having the slightest knowledge of
newspaper work or reporters and
their ways of getting news, the Trib-
une's explanation of why it did not
print the story of the McWhirter rob-
berry is the most babyish and silly
thing ever printed. The fact is the
Tribune knew all about the robbery
and purposely suppressed it.
While it is true that the robbery of
the McWhirters aided and abetted by
the police is the largest steal and
greatest scandal charged up to the
police department and its allies, the
Tribune and others, it is not by any
means the only disreputable thing the
police and the gang are responsible

Very few people will be deceived by
the idiotic nonsense of the Telegram,
that on election day the "hierarch''
will turn over the entire republican
party vote to elect Dick Morris may
or of the city. Any person who
writes such stuff is either idiotic him
self or thinks his readers are idiots.
The American" party and its or
gans may juggle figures on city f.
nances as much as they please, but
they cannot blind the people to the
fact that they have looted the treas
ury, bankrupted the city, raised the
taxes and stolen (stolen is the right
word) the money. Give them two
years more in office and the graft and
direct thefts will increase.
The Herald and the few Gentiles
left in the Democratic party are
keeping up their howl for Dick Nor
ris for mayor, solely to take sufficient
votes from the republicans to elect
the american" ticket These demo-
cratic Genties will almost to man
vote the american" ticket them
selves. They howled for Morris two
years ago just as they are doing now,
but voted with the Americans" on
election day. Can they fool the peo-
pie again?

between the police and the bunco men

Numerous other instances besides that

Mr.. Devine is a man whose PERSONAL
ty and record in this city will inspire
confidence. He will wage vigorous,
business-like and sensible campaign.
Mention was made few weeks ago
of a goat shipment to Kansas City,
the consignment being from Kanab,
and in charge of J. R. Hamblin, one
of the largest stockholders in the
corporation which made the ship
ment. The number of goats marketed
was 1900, these being exclusively for
mutton purposes, although the prin-
cipal revenue is not fl ON that source,
as the animals are Angoras and their
fleece is steady and considerable
source of profits.
Mr.. Hamblin is a young man, but
has shown such capability and bust
ness tact in stock raising and the dut-
les relating thereto that for some
years he has been manager of the
company's business, which is a very
large and steadily growing one It is
almost new feature in the industrial
economy of this state, but is work

1t was very interesting to hear the
whispers of the Tribune crowd to
their party workers prior to the con-
ventions in which were set forth the
reasons why Swenson should be de-
feated for treasurer and Crabtree for
the council. 1t was interesting be-
cause the editorial quorum of the
Tribune did not seem to be in har-
mony with the Sefrit quorum The
Sefrit quorum denounced them as
corrupt and openly charged Crabtree
with being inspired by improper mo-
tives in his councilmanic work, while
the editorial quorum set forth in the
loudest tones possible the goodness
and greatness of the american"
party from A to z collectively, indi-
vidually and as a whole 1t would be
good idea for some one to meander
around to the Tribune office and in
troduce Sefrit to Nelson. The two
quorums might then possibly get to-
gether and work in harmony. Denun-
citation by Sefrit, the protege and imi-
tator of the once famous or infamous
Perry Heath, shouldn't carry much
weight
The "Amerkearns" crowd may brag

as much as they like, but the fact is
the assertions from the party of graft

got all of them. In addition to solid,

The feature of today's session was the
report of the committee on transportation.
The report stated that the new railroad
rate law had been OF great benefit TO fruit

the railroads were necessary. Among the
things complained OF were the increase OF
the minimum carload weight OF dried fruits
and canned goods from 1000 to $1,000
pounds. hardship on small shippers, and
the rates on grapes from New York to the
Missouri river and territory west Of the
Mississippi river which. the report stated.

overcharging on the part OF the railroads.
The quoted rate, 1t is declared, cannot be
depended upon.
The report alleged that ''the evil OF ex-
pross companies being buyers and sellers
of products has not entirely abated." This
alleged practice by which the express COM
panies enter into competition with their
patrons, the shipper and receiver. was con-
demned.

WOMAN SHOOTS At JUDGE
Sc. Louis Jurist Target for Litigant
who Had Appeared be-
fore Him.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2--Just after Judge Nc
Donald OF the circuit court had convened
court this morning Miss Rosa Well sud-
denly arose from among the spectators
and fired point blank with a revolver at
the judge. The bullet missed him. She
was disarmed and arrested. She was a
litigant in a case concerning a disputed
inheritance that was tried before Judge
Mcdonald two months ago.
Rosa Well. accompanied by her older sis
ter, Clara Well, entered the court room a
few minutes before court convened and
quietly took seats on the second specta-
tors bench back of the railing. Their ap-
pearance attracted no attention and they
sat quietly watching the proceedings as
Judge Mcdonald entered from his private
chamber and took his seat on the bench.
Motions were offered in a pending case and
an attorney had started to address the
court when Rosa Well, without warning,
stood up with a levelled revolver and fired
at Judge Mcdonald. F. L. Wozel, a wilt
ness sitting nearest her, seized her before
she could fire a second time and several
other persons near by sprang to the woman
and wrenched, the revolver from her hand.
She maintained remarkable composure
and said in a calm tone: II ought to have
got him."
Deputy Sheriff Frank Burns took both
women into custody.
Judge Mcdonald did not arise from his
seat during the excitement: Take that
woman out of the court ROOM" he said to
Deputy Sheriff Burns, and when the woman
had been led from the room and order re-
stored the Judge turned to several attorneys
who were waiting to make motions and
said: Proceed gentlemen"
Rosa Well is daughter of Mrs. Eliza
Well and the late August L. Well. She
was displeased with an adverse decision
made by Judge Mcdonald, November last,
in case in which her mother sought to
deprive a grandson of share in August
Wells estate. This grandson was the
child OF Agnes We'll, deceased daughter OF
Mrs. Well. The grandmother undertook
to deprive the boy of his share in the in
heritance by raising a question as to the
| legitimacy of his mother.
| At the four courts Clara Well, delegated
| by her sister to speak for both, said:

selves; then we decided to kill Judge Nc
Donald and commit suicide together. We
could not get Justice, so we thought we
would take the law in our own hands. We

We tried to obtain information charging
them with forgery, but we could not. We
were advised to bring a partition suit. In
that suit we did not get justice, so we

concern of a possible order or action ex-
tending the trouble now existing between
and Enginemen and the Atlantic division
OF the Southern Pacific Railroad company
to other railroads in the west, and espe-
cially to the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany, and feeling that a general tieup or
disturbance in railroad trafflo at this time
would result in untold suffering to the peo-
pie of the west, through their inability to
secure needed fuel and other necessartes OF
life, beside the great loss In wages and
consequent injury to business generally
Resolved. BY the Commercial club OF
Grand Island, Neb., that we hereby appeal

erhood and to the officers of the Union Pa
In their power, through peaceful measures,
by arbitration or otherwise, to settle their
differences and prevent the great loss, suf-
fering and inconvenience to the public
ment of strike or order calling out the
fremen would entail. We do this In the
interest of the public, without entering into
the merits OF the controversy or expressing
any opinion thereto.
Resolved That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the officers of said brother
hood and the officers of the Union Pacific
Railroad company.

PURE FOOD LAW IN EFFECT
Secretary Wilson Takes Occasion TO
Correct Some Mistaken Ideas
of Grocers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ave cannot
say definitely what class we shall reach
frst on the enforcement of the pure food
and drug act" said Secretary Wilson OF
the Department OF Agriculture today, "but
you may take IL to be certain that among
the first to be reached will be the fellows
who defy the law"
The secretary's statement was made
after he had read circular recently
issued by the National Wholesale Grocers'
association, which asserted that there Is
nothing in the law that prohibits the sale
Of goods containing any particular color
ing matter or preservations Parties de-
string to use fictitious names might or
ganize firms or corporations under these
names. Fictitious names may be used
with impunity until next October"
while the machinery for enforcement
of the law has not been completed" con-
tinued Secretary Wilson, "the law is now
In force and any merchant or manufac-
turer who violates II does so at his peril.
II any of these gentlemen think they can
defy the law with impunity let them try
it."
The secretary said that labels now IN
the hands OF manufacturers and dealers
may be used until October 1 because the
department has no desire to impose upon
them heavy loss.
But" said the secretary, ION all prod
ucts entering into interstate or foreign
commerce II will be necessary to have
label that will show what the package
contains. If the old label does not show
this a paster put on the package must
show It. For instance, If a package con-
tains cottonseed OIL either the label or
the paster must show that It is cotton

some coloring matter is used by the man
ufacturer he will lay himself liable to
prosecution. No aniline dyes or deleterious
preservatives will be permitted in food
products and manufacturers may as well
make up their minds to that and adjust
their business accordingly"
Just before the holiday recess an ap-
preparation of $250,ooO was made by con-
gress to enable Secretary Wilson to OBJ
tain a sufficient corps of chemists and in
spectOrs to enforce the law.

investigation OF the collision between the
steamers Dix and Jeanie on November IS
last near Seattle, Wash. by which fifty

aster on Captain Percy Lermond of the

tain Philip H. Mason of the Jeanie, who,

ments of the law"
The report says Captain Lermond left the
navigation OF the Dix to the first officer,
who did not have a pilots license. The
report concludes by saying the license of
Percy Lermond as master and pilot of
Puget sound and tributaries from Olympia
to Cape Flattery had been revoked.
