Evil of Tipping System.

Although there is great effort made
to keep secret the thefts in hotels and
restaurants in New York, it is quite
evident they are on rapid increase
The manager of a large restaurant
says the system of having servants
depend almost entirely upon patrons
for their pay lowers their moral stan
dard and causes them to look on those
they are supposed to serve as their
legitimate prey.

No Longer "Arid' in Rocks.

A man who has been a resident of
Rocks county for about 20 years has
seen it grow from raw prairie to a
well settled and very prosperous
community. 1t is in what was the

lions have been wonderfully changed
by the cultivation of the land and the
growth of timber. A few years ago
it was deemed necessary to irrigate,
and several bitches were built, but
before their use became very extern

The principal products are limited

 Ip Real Earnest MEDICATION OF ISSUES Democratic Leader Declares That Re- publicans Have Only One Man Big

MEDICATION OF ISSUES.

Fremont, H.. December 6.-W. J. Bryan opened his campaign for democratic nou- ination for the Presidency tonight in two rousing speeches delivered before mass meetings and later at a banquet at which nearly 700 prominent North Illinois demo- crats assembled Mir Bryan spoke on the ''vindication of the democratic plat form since 1S96."
 The republican party, said MT. Bryan, has been steadily falling from popularity and today but one man can win the Presi- dency, one who will have to break away from precedent and accept a third-term and who has only gained his popularity by taking for his issue blanks from the democratic platform.
 He pointed out that the present finan- cial stringency was the result of turning down democracy's bimetallism issue, and he declared that the trusts, tariff and labor arbitration problems were being solved according to the lines embraced in democratic platforms.

PREACHER ST|RS UP CLUB WOMEN
Remarks Made Cause Meeting
 of Protest
TAKE UP CASE
Hot Speeches Are Made at the Meet ina and the Ministers Action Con- demned-He Denies Having
 Made Statement Quoted.

Meridian, Miss, December 6.-(Special.) Something of a sensation was created Tn Meridian at a late hour this afternoon when it became known that the husbands and close kin of the ladies who are mem bers of the Fortnightly club in Meridian were holding an indignation meeting be- hind closed doors al the court house to discuss and take steps relative to certain reports that were made public connecting the name of Rev. J. T. Newsom with re- marks concerning the character of the members of the club. MT Newsom is conducting a big revival in Meridian under the auspices of the Meridian Meth odist churches.
 Newspaper men were excluded from the meeting, and two hours were spent by the gentlemen discussing the matter Speeches were made by some of the lead ing business and professional men of the city. C. F. Woods, a prominent business man, was chairman and w. S. Lott, one of the leading business men of the city, acted as secretary. Speeches of protest were made by Gen. w. D. Cameron, Hon. $. A. Witherspoon, J. A. Gibson cashier of the Union Bank and Trust company, and others
 General Cameron made a red-hot speech saying that if there were any social lepers in the membership of this aristocratc society club the people should know who they are and that Evangelist Newsom must be made to identify the women he has named It was charged in the meet ing that Rev MT. Newsom had made open charges against certain Meridian ladies who are members of the club, and a committee was finally appointed consist ing of Hon. S. A. Witherspoon, II. j. Woods and Edwin McMorries to wait on MT Newsom and determine whether or not he was guilty of the remarks charged to him.
 The meeting has provoked a profound sensation in the city tonight, and the friends Of the evangelist are attempting to allay excitement by denying that Mr. Newsom made the statement charged against him.
 Late tonight Dr. Newsom entered wig orous denial to the report that he had cast any reflection on any women be- longing to any social club in Meridian. He says that he merely said that ne thought that all the clubs of Meridian needed a thorough cleaning out: that he did not specify any particular club and no particular member of any of them.

Republicans Want the ConYsn-
 tion to GO There
WINDY CITY IS INDIFFERENT
Kansas City Is Working Hard for the Convention, But Sentiment Ap- pears To Demand Chicago as
 the Place To Meet.

Washington, December 6.-(Special.)- Chicago, which virtually abandoned the fight for the republican national conven- tion and even now is not particularly enamored of the proposition may get the big republican show by reason of in jecton of the presidential nomination question into the committee on Wednes- day and Thursday, when 1t looked as if all that was necessary to give the conven- ton to Kansas City was a formal rati- fication of the views of committeeman. The Taft backere circulated the report that the convention going to Kansas City would be a big victory for the war secretary and be heralded as such all over the country.
 The result is that many of the commit teemen today announced that they would vote for Chicago. Whether there be a sufficient number deserting the Kansas City pledges to bring about this end, can not be positively stated tonight, but Mar tin R. Madden, the Illinois national com mitteeman, says when the vote is taken the Windy City will carry off the prize This would be the more remarkable as Chicago is here without a delegation of boomers and is offering the committee scant financial inducement, other than bare expenses.
 The Kansas City men are, Of course putting up broad front and claiming the convention. 1t is evident, however, that they will consider themselves lucky if they can get a majority vote tomorrow on proposition which was practically set tied in their favor.
 The republican national committee is against Taft. That is, it cannot be con sidered any more for Taft than any other candidate. Naturally an effort to make capital for any candidate out of the se- lection of a city for holding the conven- ton is meeting with resentment. W. s.

The Governor had no statement to make upon his interview with the President. IL is inferred that the Pres ident is naturally anxious that the Gov ernor take no course out of which might grow q conflict between the state and federal troops His interview with the Governor was entirely for the purpose of gaining information on the controversy and expressing the hope that settle ment can be reached through the courts.
 The Alabama delegation was the guest of the Governor at lunch today. He left for New York at p. and will spend tomorrow in that city, returning to Mont gomery by Sunday night or Monday morning.
 At his luncheon today Governor Conner took occasion to highly compliment the Alabama delegation, and said he was glad that they were all so devoted to states rights For if they were not the time would soon come when all of them would have no rights. The delegation as- sured the Governor that they were with him in sustaining the rights of the state, it's dignity and it's honor

Surprise at GoIdfield.

Goldield, New, December G.-Word reached here this morning that two trains of regulars will leave San Francisco to- day for Godfeld. The miners and bus mess men here generally were no more prepared for this announcement than they were for the first statement that troops had been requested. as there is not the least semblance of disturbance in the camp or town Members of the miners union in large numbers surrounded the union headquarters and meetings formal or informal are in constant session, but are always guarded with the utmost se- crecy
 Despite the suppressed excitement among the miners they are keeping the peace in every way. refrainng from dis turbing the situation even on the quiet. They seem to be disconcerted and dazed with the rapidity with which the oper- ators are 9moving and appear to be to- tally unprepared for the latest coup.

Bryan at Chjcaoo.

Chicago, December civilian J. Bryan today at luncheon given by the 1roquois club made a notable speech, the keynote of which was party harmony
 Where an agreement has been reached among men as to what ought to be done now, there should be forgetfulness for the past he said and his sentiment was ap- plauded. Men should have good forget ting machines so far as individuals are concerned. Forgive US our debts as we forgive our debtors,' is a good doctrine to follow. Resentment and revenge are the foolish things of men,
 Men who heard the words took them to mean that MT. Bryan's differences with National Committeeman Roger C. SulIl- van are at end and that there will be no anti-Bryan contest in Illinois Sullivan has declared that he will not start the strife afresh.
 MT. Bryan declared that the democratic party is more united today than it has been for years, whereas the republicans, he asserted, are divided.
 the union are not in sympathy with him in this move, but they seem to be so thoroughly under the control of a few leaders that they have been afraid to take any action. Many of these men are anxious to return to work and in my opinion there will either be a split in the union in Goldfeld or the open shop rule will prevail in all of the large mines there. The Mine Owners association Is determined that it will no longer sub init to the arbitrary dictation of a few union agitators."
