The above is the last chapter in an event
that deserves our notice.
Several years ago J. W. Hanlon, who
had devoted his life to newspaper work
and had, since Ocilla was first incorporat.
ed, devoted his every energy and talent to her
best interest, was publishing the dispatch, in
which he owned minority share of the stock. 1t
seems that the majority share holders, or some
of them at least wanted to dictate the policy of
the paper control its political utterances. To this
the editor demurred like an honest man who
would not sell his editorial rights even for what
appeared then to be his daily bread as well as
the support of his family. His case was al
most helpless, he had been too unselhsb, too
generous, too much devoted to the public veal to
which he had given his life to the neglect of
his private interests. But he stood firm for his
rights as a man and an editor. His associates
in business were re1entless-vindictive they ap-
piled the severest penalty where they should
have offered reward with the result that the,
editor the splendid old man that he was, waslit-
orally kicked out of the paper he had made so
popular with the people of the county.

Fitzgera|d's Police Force.

The first year of colony life,
Notwithstanding there were 4O,'
900 people here by actual count,
was noted for its peaceful and
harmonious life. When t b e
city of Fitzgerald was in

ed on the police force was Dan
Mahoney, of New York city, one
of the very first co1onists. He
drew for his colony allotment the

which property he still owns and
which has increased in value.
The lot really cost him ten dol

PEKIN.

Pekin, Aug. 25.-It is believed tonight
that Yuan Shin Kai is about to relinquish
the vice royalty of Chi Ii for the pur-
pose of becoming the head of the war de-
partment. His action is said to be due
to the realization of the central govern
ment that its position is weaker than ever
before and was also prompted by the
reported maladministration of China S
modern army by Itch LANG, the minister
Of war, whose methods have resulted in
the discomfort of 5000 soldiers whose pay
Is in arrears.

The dowager empress has summoned
Chang Chih Tung and Yuan Shin Kai to
consider the alarming growth of anti
Manchu sentiment. Several viceroys and
governors have been memoraliZing the

timent The growing popular enmity is
ascribed to the failure of the dOwager's
three edicts in the past six years remOV-
ing the distinctions between Chinese and
Manchus in intermarriage, abolishing the
Partially shown to Manchus in law, and
preventing the favOritism shown ManchuS

Exit Standard Oil.
By Afimeograph.l

New York, Aug 25.-It has been learned
upon good authority that the secret con-
ference of Standard Oil and steel trust
magnateS has been called in order to ar
range for the bankruptcy proceedings that
both companies are facing. According to
a prominent citizen, who for obvious rea-
sons refuses to allow the use of his name,
the Standard Oil company will be forced
to suspend operations next week. Ex-
travagance on the part of the officials of
the company is said to be accountable for
the disaster. The yearly dividends have
already been cut to 60 per cent. The fact
that Skiopolus. Nd, has installed electric
lights and will not use oil any more has
cut into the profits of the concern. Mr.
Rockefeller, It is understood. intends to
give UP playing golf and give his time TO
the invention of a new patent separator.
III. II. Rogers will enter monastery.

the last of the fun makers" An early
evening raid had removed the regular
collection of young girls from the place
but there were still several present who
ing hand of a mother rather than the
contents of the beer bottle in front of
them
Come on, Cert, be a sport. Have
some more beer" called out a young fell
low at one of the tables to the girl with
him. His high collar and general air of
forced festivity showed that he was out
for a time. The girl with him looked
barely Il Her red hat with its long
curling feather and red coat made her a
noticeable figure. Her face was flushed
probably from the contents of the empty
bottles on the table.
Cert Warns Up.
Jaw, go on. Have another What's the
use Of being tight. Here, waiter, two
more bottles. Let's get a good souse
on while were about it."
Cert demurerd a moment, but when the
beer had been brought, entered into the
spirit of her companions invitation. The
"souse' was not far distant.
In another corner of the room a regul2-
ton lamp post quartette ran in compe-
tition to a metallic sounding electric
piano. Both quartette and piano ran a
close race, but the human agency had
more endurance, because the mechanical
noise producer was stopped at the end of
the piece. The repertoire of the quar-
tette was not varied. 1t began with some
topical ballad and then drifted into the
old familiar How dry we are" A
seemed to recognize in the song a sum-
mons, and always appeared at its close
with a new supply of beer. Then the
songsters began again.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-08-26

With wavering harmony and with
mushy male and falsetto female notes
mlngling together, the quartette sang
their parting hymn to the Salt Palace
as they hurried toward the last car. Sud-
denly the music stopped. The quartette
glanced ahead at a group standing at the
corner of State street One of the women
shrieked; another merely giggled.
On the ground, his head lying in a pool
or murky water, lay a man. His face,
showing under the lone electric light

face and trying to bandage his discol-
ored eye with bloody rag.

looking at the PROSTATE figure.
Saturday Night Scrap.
Nav. Just a Saturday night scrap -
This is the last car" Onto the waiting
car piled the quartette. With them went
he OF the discolOred eye, explaining with
a thick tongue that he had Just walloped
him couple because he got gay" The
conductor looked toward the man on the
ground. He did not move. A little more
blood oozed onto the ground.
"All aboard" was called. The car
moved or and the man on the ground was
left as the last evidence of a Saturday
night revel at the Salt Palace.
During the day, when the sun is bright
or even in the evening. when the myriad
lights twinkle from the buildings, the
Salt Palace is an inviting place. There
go husbands and their families to en-
joy a quiet evening. There is the dance
hall for those that like the waltz and two
step. There is the roller coaster for those
that like speed with a minimum of dan
ger. Everything is as quiet as can be eX-
pected under the circumstances. Usually
it is orderly. But as the evening grows
old. the fathers and mothers take their
children home. The crowd thins and
those that remain are intent upon having
"a good time" The recipe for that good
time usually means an unlimited quantity
of beer, loud talk, some alleged singing
and last of all a fight.
In the Beer Garden.
Saturday the jewellers were few in num-
Der, but they made up in action what
they lacked in numerical strength. The
word had been passed about that no Ii
quOr would be sold after Il o'clock, and
that had served to decrease the usual
crowd of might owls" But the collec-
ton was a good criterion of the Saturday
night crowd.

Lives on Mountain Rats.
By Tunnel Route.)

Philipsburg, Mont, Aug. 25.-Three
weeks ago a brown spaniel belonging to
George p. Burnham, Waterman for the
Granite Bi-Metallic mine, disappeared.
The dog had been in the habit of follow
ing his master upon his rounds and was
Burnham's constant companion. Today
the dog appeared at the mouth of the
two-mile drain tunnel. as happy as any
body's dog could well be. 1t is. believed
that the dog fell down the deep shaft in
to the stump. but finally gained a foot
hold and wandered about through the
workings of the mine. 1t Is probable that
he subsisted on mountain rats, with
which the mine Is filled.

Whsk North Pole Is.
(By Arctic Balcony

Spitzbergen, June g. 190S.-Walter Well
man has returned here after discovering
the north pole. He describes IL as cylin-
drical in shape, surmounted by an oblate
spheroid. the whole resting upon a te-
trahedron which is almost regular in
measurement The coloring, as is the
case with the aurora boreaiis, is described
as magnificent. Attracted perhaps from
the northern lights of white from the eter-
sky, the combination of IT is said to be
particularly wonderful at sunset. Re-
markabie to relate as a specimen of re-
fraction at the world acutest angle If one
may so speak. the two colors are quite
separate and run about the pole In pecu-
liar fashion. The red OF the sunset and
the white reflection from the snow pur-
sue each other within separate spiral lines
beginning at the ending of the dull black
