A Fish Story.

"Trout protectioni Nonsense!" said
a gunner of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's common thing for a
trout to jump from the water, seize a
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave it's feet sticking in the air, where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at its leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any shermen? None? Too
bad This would be match for one
of their fish stories"

PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
Stern Laws Of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court

An interesting case at law, which
conferred on the observance OF an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged clerk on &C
count Of neglect of duty Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead--for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a religious man,
maintained that IF Moses had known
that a man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent he would have made differ
emit laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in ia
vor of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right OF
the clerk without the consent Of the
employer"

No Criticism to Make.

Mrs. Hwfa Williams, the English So
ciety leader, talked at dance in New
York about the fashion of riding
astride that has taken hold of English
equestriennes.
Some of our young women" said
Mrs. Williams, dress out and out like
men. They wear a long coat cut like
a hunting coat, a cap, riding breeches
and top boots. 1t is handsome cos
tune and it is not immodest, but I'M
doubtedly it attracts a good deal OF
attention. They have been telling in
London lately story about an Eng
fish girl who has adopted this riding
rig. Pulling up her horse one after
noon she said to an artisan who was
passing: Can you tell me if this is the
way to Wareham?'
1.-The man looked her over carefully.
Then he touched his cap in respect
full manner and replied: Yes, miss,
yes-you seem to ave got 'em on all
right"

CHICAGO WINS
 THE CONVENTION Republicans Will Meet in Windy
 City Next June HARD CONTEST IS ENDED Kansas City and Denver Make Sharp Bids for the Honor, But Chicago Is Finally Made the Unani-
 nous Choice.
HARD CONTEST IS ENDED

Washington, December 7.--Chicago was today selected as the place, and June 16, 1908, the time, for the meeting of the next republican national convention. This decision by the republican national com mittee followed a long and hard-fought contest between the advocates of Chicago and the advocates of Kansas City, Den yer coming in at the end with a formida- ble but not important effort to secure the convention.
 The ballot showed 31 votes for Chicago, IS for Kansas City, and four for Denver, the votes being made unanimous after the result was announced. Every one ac- cepted the decision of the commission good-naturedly
 The selection of the time for the con ventien was a compromise between the first of June and the last of June, and all were satisfied on that point also.
 No official announcement of the roll cal! on location was made, and some special effort was necessary to prevent secret ballot, which was proposed by Senator Scott of West Virginia. The Senator was advocating such a course. saying he had no doubt that many of the delegates had given pledges to more than one city, and if such was the case an open ballot would be embarrassing to them. MT. Capers ad- vocated the open ballot, saying that the national committee had set an example to the country in such matters, and that every member should be willing to have his position Known. There were other brief speeches on both sides. but the open ballot prevailed. The committee, how ever, voted down the proposition to give the vote to the public and the newspa pers were forced to the necessity of get ting unofficial figures from members.
 The territories, including Alaska, had their number of representatives in the convention reduced from to 2.
 After a long debate the committee de- cided to authorize states and counties 10 decide whether the election of delegates to the convention shall be by primaries.

Stockholm. December 7.-(Special Ca ble.)-The last saeraments have been administered to King Oscar and 1t is feared that the aged monarch may not live through the night. Members of the royal family and the chief ecclesi- asties of the Swedish church have been summoned to the palace in anticipation of the end.
 The King has been conscious only at intervals since early morning. Most of the time he has been unable to re- cognize those gathered around his sick bed
 The King spoke only once during the day and then was only to utter the one word thanks to the doctors for their efforts to alleviate his sufferings.
 The King passed a very restless night and this morning his condition was such that the physicians issued a bulletin saying:
 The Kings strength has been con tinuously decreasing in the past 24 hours and especially during the night. | His majesty is at times not fully con- scious. Action of the heart weaker. Pulse SS, irregular. Breathing dif- | fcult."
 Since morning his rallies have been | much briefer and have been widely | separated, and the action of the heart | has become noticeably weaker l King oscar has been suffering from l heart and kidney trouble for several months. On Wednesday last the King 1 feeling that his health would not per init him to bear the cares of govern ment any longer, had Crown Prince l Gustave appointed regent and handed ! the government over to him.

Three Hundred Men Invade
 Town of HopkinsviIIs
MUCH PROPERTY DESTROYED
Police and Fire Departments Overpow- cred and Several Tobacco Ware
 houses Burned While Maraud-
 CTS Shoot Up the Town.

Hopkinsvile, Ky. December 7.-fspe- cial.)-Several companies of Night Riders who have committed many depredations against the property of in dependent tobacco growers in this part of Kentucky during the past year. struck the heaviest blow of their guerrilla war fare before daylight this morning, when they descended upon this city almost 300 strong, took possession of the streets and fred over S2O0,000 worth of property be- fore they withdrew. Citizens were so completely terrorized by successive vol leys of rifle and pistol shots, they did not dare leave their homes to oppose the Riders" who cared on their work of destruction without the least interference
 So well organized were the marauders that there was no warning of their ap- proach and so thorough their plan of attack that they had control of the tele- phone exchange, the police and fire de- partments and the railroad station before residents became aware of the attack. The Riders" were all heavily armed and masked and moved about the streets in squads under the command of officers who gave orders by means of signals. The police and volunteer firemen were held prisoners in their quarters to pre- vent them fighting the flames started by the Riders John Deity, a brakeman, who tried to save some railroad property, was shot in the back with a load of buckshot and seriously injured Lindsay Mitchell, a tobacco buyer, who ventured out on the street. was beaten with clubs.
 As soon as the Riders had secured complete control of the town they turned their attention to the tobacco ware houses. The torch was applied to the Reggie Tobacco factory of Tandy & Fair leigh the brick warehouse of M. H. Tan dy & Co.,, owned by John C. Latham of New York, and the warehouse of r. w. Dabney. Smaller property near the big ger structures was damaged by the flames. While the flames were raging through these buildings parties of the Riders ranged through the streets and amused themselves by firing volleys into public buildings and private business houses. The windows of the courthouse, the Commercial Banking and Savings Co.,, the First National bank, the Plant CTS Trust Co.,, and the Bank of Hop kinsvie were riddled with bullets. The glass front of the building occupied by the Hopkinsville Kentuckian. a paper that has denounced the work of the Riders in the past, was wrecked.
 After the Riders had accomplished their work of destruction they withdrew in good order. marching out over the tracks of the Illinois Central railroad, the direction from which they entered the town sheriff's posse was organized as soon as citizens had recovered from their fright It took up the pursuit of the Riders" and came in contact with a small party of them three miles west of Gracey but the marauders disappeared after exchanging few shots with the sherff's followers.
 Governor Beckham has ordered troops to Hopkinsville.

Reflection Upon Club Women Causes Trouble
TWO STATEMENTS ISSUED
Evangelist jNewsom and the Rev. J E. Carpchter Say They Will Stand By Their Guns-Another
 Meeting To Be Held.

Meridian Miss, December 7.-tSpecial) )-
 A second indignation meeting of citizens of Meridian was held this afternoon
 with reference to the alleged slanderous
 statements said to have been made by
 Evangelist Newsom. who is conducting
 the Union Methodist revival in this city about certain members of the Fortnightly
 club, one of the swell social clubs of
 the city. The second meeting was held
 to take action on the following cards
 published in q local paper this after noon:
 Statement from Mr Carpenter: This statement for which I am respon- sible and which I made in private con versation is that there are two or three persons of questionable character in tine Fortnlghtly club. according to statements
 made to me from the inside of the club. These statements will be defended by the authors. ] consider 1t most unfortunate
 that this statement should be forced by
 the circumstances now existing. but as the
 interests of truth seem to demand, ] there fore make it. Such testimony and lnfor- nation as may be in my possession may
 be had at the proper time and before the right tribunal, either church or state. tSigned) J. D. Carpenter
 From MT. Newsom: In preaching on Appropriateness from the World 1 said: There are in our churches, orders, clubs
 and societies of this city members that
 are vile. Even the Fortnightly club, that represents some of the best people of the city, have members who are not above reproach, and some of the members know 1t. The respectable ones should either put those out who are not above re- proach or get out themselves, for no one can rise above their elected surroundings and stay there long at q time. Some, even of the cloth, connected directly or indirectly are not what they should be and some members of the club know It.
 "I made these statements and stand ready to substantiate same before any proper tribunal to which l am amenable The authors and facts can there be |, brought out (Signed) J. T. Newsom." During the meeting 1t was announced that Evangelist Newsom had consented to meet the citizens committee at his room tomorrow morning and further &C., ton was deferred pending the result of the meeting Feeling among cer- l tain number of the most prominent cit izens of Meridian was so high and the excitement so intense tonight that Evangelist Newscm was escorted to the court house, where he is conducting the revival. by detail of police It is claimed that some of the relatives of the ladies who are said 10 have been slan- dered by the preacher are SO wrought l up that serious trouble may result This | Is the first instance in the history Of Meridian that police have been compelled | to guard q man of the clergy and q profound sensation Is the result

Arrival of Soldiers Is Attended
 By No Violence
MINERS ARE KEEPING QUIET
Mine Operators Welcome the Troops and Are Pleased That Permanent Garrison Will Soon Be
 Made In Godfield.

Godfeld, New, December 7.-At l2:30 cars of the first section of the train which is conveying United States troops to the Goldfeld gold camp arrived in GoldfelG. Stepping upon the platform, Colonel Key holds, who is in command of the sol- diers, met a committee representing the Mine Owners association, which had been awaiting his arrival. A brief consulta- ton was held between the commander and the operators, following which the entire party stepped into an automobile and started in search of suitable camp.
 Godfeld breathed sigh of relief this morning when day broke without any act of violence having been committed during the night. It was feared that anticipa ton of the coming of the troops last night would be taken advantage of by the lawless to make demonstration. Tine worst fear was from fire. The wind blew a gale all night, and the air was full of the first snow of winter. A citi- zens guard had been posted through the town and along the water and light lines for several miles beyond the town limits. The strain was tense, and few slept while awaiting the break of day and the ar rival of the promised troops which were scheduled to arrive in the early morning. The troop train failed to arrive on sched- ule time, and the worod was received that 1t would reach here at noon, but with a bright sky above and the troops only few hours away, complete quiet prevailed. The streets were thronged with people as merry as on a gala day. In the miners union hall the scene was different, for there the throng was depressed and sur 1y. The hall was packed all night and this morning the street in front of the hall was full of anxious and weary look ing men.
 The operators and business men of Gol1- field are pleased that there is promise of the establishment of permanent gar rison at this point.
 Such an assurance has been received from Washington, where the advsability of a garrison for Nevada has been dis cussed from time to time. Nevada has more Indians than any of the states or territories of the Union, there being 10Ot0 at the various agencies, but there are no federal troops nearer than San Francis co. The fact that labor troubles are con- stantly breaking out and that there Is no state militia makes the necessity of a garrison in Nevada all the more pressing. These mines are in a condition to in- crease their output tremendously. but they have been hampered and menaced constantly by labor outbreaks.
 The stock market showed a great ad- vance.
