Foster is the white whiskered old

is, where he came from is still as much
a mystery as it was upon the night
when the old man breathed his last to
the tune of clinking glasses and ribald
jest.
Coroner MacMartin has been unable
to find any relatives of the dead man.
Further Investigations proved that the
theory that he might be Thomas Golf of

err. a rancher living near this place, and
a party of neighbors are now in possess
sion of the Mata c. Hover, the steamer
which a few days broke from her moor
ings at the Hover ferry and was carried
down the Columbia with an enormous
iceberg. The boat safely passed Wallula
Gap, where it was feared she would be
wrecked upon the rocks, but when a
short distance below this place Thrash
er went out in a row boat. threw line
aboard the stray and safely anchored
her Just as she was making mad rush
Off the Umatilla rapids, where it is
likely she would have been demolished.
After safely anchoring the boat,
Thrasher organized prize crew among
his ne;ghbors and they boarded the
craft to await the arrival of the owners.
They had but a short time to await, and
when the owners of the Hover appeared
upon the scene, they were met by a
score of armed men who demanded
$1,000 salvage money. Although the
ship is valued at $4,000. and is insured
for half that amount, the owners de-
clined to pay the $1,000. and the matter
is now in the hands of the authorities.
and it is thought that the sheriff will be
called to take charge of the Mata until
the dispute over the reward is settled.

POLICE or GOTHAM SEARCHING
FOR THE RIVALS OF HER.
MAN THE GREAT.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-TO the list of
Freak burglaries was added new
brand yesterday when Mrs. Samuel
Elkan reported at the East One Hun
bred and Fouth street police station
the theft of 200-pOund steel
safe and contents from her bedroom On
the second floor of her home, No. At
East One Hunday and Fourth street.
During the early hours Of Monday
morning last while Mrs. Elkan sound
ly slumbered, pair Of noiseless burg
lars carried the treasure box from the
room in which she slept. Her dreams
were not even disturbed and no men,
Der of the household heard sound.
All traces of how the burglars en-
tered and departed were carefully OBJ
liberated by the skillful thieves, so
that even a Sherlock Holmes might
find it brain tagging to solve the mys-
terry.
Window sills and door frames have
been inspected with microscope for
marks of the burglars ever useful
Jimmy" Or scratches made by the
vanishing safe, but not the faintest
clue has developed. The burglars
even thought to close all doors and
windows after them.
When Mrs. Elkan >>awakened on
Monday and missed the precious safe
for she says it contained in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 worth Of val
uables-from its accustomed place,
she was dumbfOunded. She searched
everywhere for it; under the bed, in
closets, behind doors and even in the
cellar. Then she questioned the SER
wants, but none of them could en-
tighten her in the slightest degree
Up to that time Mrs. Elkan could
not believe that the safe had been
were quizzed about the safe, and fin
ally a vague piece of information was
obtained The milkman said that
about a. m. he saw two men carry
a heavy object out of the Elkan
home and put it on a wagon. Before
the milkman could summon a police
man the nocturnal movers mad disap
peared.
On Sunday night Mrs. Elkan said
she entertained guests. and she show
ed them the safe. She believes tnat
talk of the safe reached the burglars
and caused their visit. Mr. Elkan,
who is in the hardware business on
Second street at One Hundred and
Fifth street, was not at home.
Mrs. Elkan has advertised for the
return of papers that were in the
stolen safe. She says she does not
expect to get the money back, but
hopes to recover the papers. To the
police she gave the following list of
missing articles:
A watch and chain, diamond ring,
locket, dozen silver knives (ROgers
make), dozen silver teaspoons,
marked IN. X and IN. s. four bank
books, one on the Industrial bank,
two on the Bowery Savings bank and
one on the German Savings bank;
New York life insurance policy; citi-
zenship papers, marriage certificate,
a will. note and $116.50 in cash.
The police make the valuation Of the
contents to be $47S.50, including the
diamonds and all.
The Elkan family is insured against
burglars.

 Tt Is Curious to see the difference the weather makes in farmers view of lffe," said a local merchant yester- day.
 . "A few days of sun and hot weather has put new life into the Montgomery county farmers. A week ago the pro fracted cold spell had left them cheer ference a few days of hot weather has made. The farmers have already prightened up and are hopeful The situation is not so bad as they thought enee of week of real June sunshine.
 Of course the prospect for the cot ton crop is nothing like it should be, thought 1t was. but if the good weatner continues, a quick transformation In the situation is expected. The crop hv may not recover entirely what 1t bos ,ost Still 1t Is nothing like failure The farmer who succeeded in getting a good stand in his cotton may. well con- sider himself lucky. All the cotton that has come up appears to be strong and hearty and the hot weather we are having will do wonders with It."

RETTER LOOK AT HOME.

Naturally we are sometimes much amused when we find Republican news papers guying the Democrats about be- ing at sea with respect to a policy or a candidate for next year. It amuscs us, not because there is not more or less truth in the charge, but because of the source from which 1t comes. To those who keep themselves fairly well informed on current events and on po- litical conditions 1t Is very evident that our brethren on the other side lack very much of being at one on either candidate or policy.
 It is becoming pretty plain that there is a large and strong element in the Republican party that wants Roosevelt nominated for another term. Whether this is because of their belief in him. or because they fear him, or because they look on him as the strongest man they can put up; wheth- CT one or all of these reasons actuates them there is no disputing the fact that he has a strong following which
  vention and force him to accept the nomination, if any forcing is required,
 But while this is true there are other strong elements at work to prevent his selection. Some of these may con scientiously object to his style and his methods. looking on him as dan eerous man to again entrust with so much power, and others of his party may be opposed to his policies and want to see an end put to them. The main ground for opposition. however, as founded on the candidacy of other men. and here the Republicans are about as thoroughly at sea as they charge Democrats with being. Almost every day we find more or less prom ising boom started for q new man. There are already a goodly number of avowed candidates looking around for support and all of them have d loyal following. Whatever chance any of them may or may not have it can not be denied that they are ready to be sacrificed on the altar of patriotic duty and each is willing to take the nom nation when offered. Of a surety the Republicans have no room to twit Us about being at sea on the question of candidates
 When it comes to the matter of pol icy we do not see that they are any better off for there are certainly wide divergences of opinion with regard to the issues of the next campaign. There

- Labor Unions and Politics.

Chattanooga Times.
 Labor unions will in time learn the lesson of organized labor's participa- tion in politics from the full forthcom- ing story of tho San Francisco city government Boss Ruef, who has been telling things, has made an epigram to the effect that the Tabor leaders ca- pacity makes them want to eat the paint off the city building" or words to that effect. The trade workers as an individual should by all means take an active interest in politics and vote for men and measures he believes to be for the general good but when he permits himslf to become one of a herd to be driven and bossed and directed as to what he shall do and how he shall vote he becomes simply a piece of the ma chinery that will certainly be used 10 his own undoing and his own oppres- sion. Trade unionism in politics means the desire of the unions
