DEMANDED HIS STAR
Mayor Carey Removes Veteran
Nightwatch From Office.
BAER CLAIMS CONSPIRACY
Says They Were After His Scalp and
Present is but Excuse.

The sensation of last week was the
summary dismissal of Denison's vet
eran night-watch. Lou Baer. This
was done by Mayor Carey in curt
letter announcing the dismissal and
demanding the return of the officer
star. We understand that a demand
was made for the return of the Night
watch uniform also. but as this was
private property and no official uni
form was ever adopted by the city,
Mr.. Baer continues to wear the blue.
The dismissal was forwarded to Mr..
Baer in An unsealed note delivered by
Marshall Slavery and Mr.. Baer was
given no opportunity for an explana-
ton although it is now apparent that
there were two sides to the case. $
The facts as told US by Mayor Carey
are as follows: On Wednesday night
Operator Fred Morse at the North
western station heard of the food at
Vail and also saw the rapid rise Of
the water at Denison. He concluded
that it was time the people were
warned of possible danger and that
efforts should be made to prevent loss
of property and perhaps life The
electrical storm had put his telephone
out of commission and as he could not
leave the station he went into the
waiting room where he found two men
driven in by the storm. At his re-
quest they went up town to notify the
authorities. They found the night
watch, told him there was flood and
that they had been sent by the night
operator to warn him and that he was
needed at the depot There is dis
pute as to whether Baer was asked to
sound the alarm or not. He says he
was not.
Mr. Baer refused to go to the depot
as requested. He claims that as the
men were strangers and looked like
tramps and as such thing as dan
gerous flood was absolutely unprece-
dented. he thought the men were TAX
ing advantage of the storm to lure
him to the depot away from the bust
ness section SO that they might be
free to burgalrize bank or a store
He directed them to the home of the
city marshal but thought it was fake
message and that they would not call
the marshal. Baer further states
that his impression that it was fake
was strengthened by the fact that he
did not know the North western phone
was out of order and thought that had
the operator wished to summon HIM
he would have used the phone.
The men returned to the North
western and reported to Morse that
the Nightwatch would not come and
that they could not find the Marshal.
AS the flood was getting rapidly worse
Morse saw that something more must
be done. He persuaded a brakeman
to wade through the flood to the
power house to send word to the
Mayor. This was done and as quick
ly as possible Mayor Carey spread the
alarm while Gail Carey ran to the
City Hall and sounded the fire alarm.
Baer went to the City Hall at once to
ascertain the location of the fire.
Carey met him and told him there was
no fire but serious flood and told

Probably onithe theory that every

council has Just increased the tax levy
for the city from 16 to 20 mills.
Twenty-Five per cent is quite an in
crease. The council was not to blame
tor all of the raise. as some of it is
due to the new law which is very strict
as to transfers of funds and which IS at
present more or less of an experiment.

CHRISTMAS AT WASHINGTON.
Business Was Generally Suspended
and Government Officials and
Employees Enjoyed the Day.

Washington. The White house
was brilliantly lighted Tuesday night
for the annual Christmas dinner.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt had as
their only guests Representative and
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. The doors
leading into the state dining room and
the blue and red rooms were thrown
open and the Roosevelt children had
a merry time until nearly midnight.
A detachment of twenty members of the
United States marine band furnished
music for the occasion.
A general suspension of public bust
ness marked the celebration of Christ
mas in this city. Only matters of the
most urgent nature were attended to
and in consequence the army of gov
eminent employees and officials were
free to enjoy the day.
AS has been the custom in the past
simplicity everywhere surrounded the
events at the White house. The pres
ident was an early riser and transact
ed considerable business.
Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks
spent the day quietly in their home
as did the various cabinet members
and their families.

ASSAULT BY NEGRO SOLDIER.
Wife of Prominent Physician of Fl
Reno, Ok, Thrown From Side
Walk by Man in Uniform.

Ell Reno, Ok. - Race feeling is at
white heat and threats of lynching are
heard on every hand as a result of an
assault committed on Mrs. T. S. Cliff
ford, wife of a prominent physician,
Thursday afternoon by a negro sol
der of the 25th infantry.
Mrs Clifford and her sister Mrs.
s. H. Clarke, were attempting to pass
tie soldier when he viciously grabbed
Mrs. Clifford around the waist and
threw her into the street exclaimins
that the sidewalk belonged to him.
Mrs. Clark screamed for assistance
and the assailant fled, escaping before
help arrived.
News of the attack spread rapidly
and the entire police department re-
inforced by several hundred men and
boys searched the town and surround
ing country but Thursday evening the
chase was given up as the negro was
in uniform and must return to the
post or become deserter.
Word was sent to Fort Reno and all
absentees noted. Both Mrs. Clifford
and her sister are positive they can
identify the man and will go to Fort
Reno and attempt to pick him from
the soldiers who were out of the post
when the assault occurred.

MORE DEADLY THAN WAR
Eleven-Hundred Persons per Week
Killed Through Accident
Some Startling Comparisons Made by
DR.. Strong-compulsory and Ac-
curate Records Demanded.

New York. : Important steps are
soon to be taken in this city and else
where to establish system of COM
pulsory and accurate records of the
enormous number of persons who are
annually killed and injured in Amer
ica's vast army of industrial workers.
III New York City alone the meager
records obtainable are startling.
In 1904 there were 4,162 persons
killed in Ney York City through acci-
dent and negligence as shown by the
reports of the department of health
and these reports are said to be in
complete.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president of the
American Institute of Social Service,
in speaking of the number of persons
killed each year in our industrial oc-
equations, made some astonishing
comparisons He said:
1--WE in the United States kill in
four years some $4,000 persons, more
tran fell in battle and died of wounds
during the four years of the Civil
war. We are killing more than twice
as many every year as persisted by
violence in both the French and Eng
lish armies during the three years of
the Crimean war
"There are more killed and wourd-
ed in our railroads every year than
the entire losses of the Boer war on
both sides in three years. We have
industrial casualties enough every
year to keep one conflict like our war
with Spain going for 1000 years or
IL such going for 100 years. Our
peaceful vocations cost more lives
every two days than were lost in bat
tie during the entire Spanish war.
From the best statistics obtain
able, I may say there are to-day $751;
900 persons in the United States I'M
der sentence of death to be executed
at an unknown moment during the
next ten years-1,100 next week and
the same number every week until
the CHASTITY work is complete An in
telligent and earnest effort would pro-
cure the reprieve of a multitude of
these innocent victims.''

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, but No
One Knew What Is Was.

1t must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny. and the young
lady who was reading it doubled up
in fits of stified laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing a
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently so funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back out
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he unblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face broadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man in the seat across smiled at
the scene A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned sympathetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
of Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no one but
the girl herself had any idea as to
what the book was.

lures. He says: kansas should be
represented at the jamestown exposi-
ton which opens April 26. The ordin-
airy results which come from having
building and an exhibit of the re-
sources of the state should be suf-
ficient reason, but in view of the Kan
sas Semi-Centennial in 1911 it is a
positive necessity. If we expect other
states to become interested in our ex-
position, we must show a spirit of re-
ciprocity. This is our first opportun-
ity. We should meet it half way and
extract all the honey possible while
the flowers are in bloom.
