IS RELEASED AND
ARRESTED AGAIN
Man Accused of Petty Theft Given a
Suspended Sentence, but Soon
Finds Himself Behind
the Bars

Discharged yesterday morning on a
four months "hoater" and locked up
again for petty larceny at o'clock the
same day is the unenviable record of H.
Ballard.
Yesterday Ballard was brought up be-
fore Justice Austin in department OF
the police court on charge of petty
larceny It was alleged he stole case
of shoe blacking from Haas, Baruch 4
Co. at their store, Also and Los An
geles streets, last Saturday night. Bal
lard told the justice pitiful tale.
He said he would leave town imme-
diately and go to his mother in Colorado
if freed. The sadness of his story in
duced the judge to suspend the sentence
of 120 days, during good behavior.
At 1 o'clock Detective Craig arrested
Ballard in Hamburger's store on
charge of stealing big ostrich feather
worth $12. 1t is probable that Justice
Austin will not be lenient for the second
offense.
The case of Ballard is a sad one. -Four
years ago he was an employe of the
Walk over Shoe company and was one
of their trusted men. He became ad-
dicted to the use of narcotics and has
steadily declined in health and yeSter-
day reached the limit.
Woman's suffrage was an established
fact.
81 suppose" said the sympathetic
friend, 'it was the silent vote that laid
you out?"
"Silent vote!" echoed the candidate
who also ran. "Why, there is no such
thing since women butted into the polit-
ical game. Chicago News.

Sketch Of Mrs. Mckinley .

Co...--.4. CH.ro. May 27.-Mrs. William
Mckinley died at 1905 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
Ida Saxton Mckinley was born in
Canton June s, 1S47. James A. Sax
ton. her father, was an intellectual ana
progressive business man and banker
his wife a lady of extraordinary cul-
ture and refinement. Ida SaXton was
reared in a home Of comfort and ease
After attending Canton schools. she
was a pupil at a private school at
Delhi. N. Y. Later she went TO
Cleveland academy and finished her
education at Brook Hall seminary, Me-
dia. Pa, where she spent three years.
Part of the years of her young wom-
anhood were spent in the Stark county
bank. which belonged to her father.
On several occasions she had charge
of the institution.
While she taught Sunday school in
the Presbyterian church. young Law
yer William Mckinley was superinten-
dent of the First Methodist Episcopal
Sunday school. Among many admir-
ers and suitors the handsome young
soldier who had been with Grant and
Sheridan and won distinction in the
Shenandoah valley was the favored
one.
BY James Saxton, her father, these
words were spoken to Mckinley when
the hand of the daughter was gained:
"You are the only man | have ever
met to whom | would entrust my
daughter" On Jan. %, 1871, William
Mckinley and Ida Saxton were united
| In marriage.
Canton, O., May 29.-The funeral

SEVENTEEN PER CENT A YEAR.
Depreciation of the Electric Plant In
Minnesota Mountaineering HolduP.

Depreoiation of the Electric Plant In
Minnesota Mountaineering HolduP.
The burning down of the municipal
electric light plant of East Grand
Forks. Mimi. has probably settled the
question of its abandonment, which
was under discussion prior to the fire.
A we'll informed correspondent writes
that "the plant has furnished a some
what Indifferent service and did not
earn enough to pay the fuel and labor
accounts. to say nothing about inter-
est on investment, depreciation, etc.
in spite of its charging private custom
ers $120 a year for 1,20O c. p. arcs on
moonlight schedule.
AS East Grand Forks is a border
town and right across the line In
North Dakota "a prohibition state) Is
the city of Grand Forks. about 30 per
cent of the business houses In East
Grand Forks are saloons. Many OF
these got their electric lights from a
private company in Grand Forks, be-
cause the service was better and the
price lower, until the council passed a
resolution to the effect that no saloon
would be licensed unless 1t patroniZed
the municipal plant.
There is a curious discrepancy be
tween the various reports as to the
value of the plant. In January the
city authorities reported that the plant
had cost $4,000 Three months later
they estimated the fire loss at $4,000.
although we understand that the plant
is entirely destroyed, and adjusted the
loss at $1,000, the plant having been In
sured for $S.400 AS it was installed in
1902, it looks as though the deprecia-
ton amounted to 81 per cent in five
years, or II per cent year The plant
will probably not be rebuilt.

Msdford,s Plant Out of Date.

f. H. Farrar, superintendent of the
city electric light plant, states that the
plant is out Of date and practically
useless. According 20 his statement.
the plant is worth about $4,000, and
1t would require an expenditure of
$4,000 to make it serviceable, while Il
new plant would cost about $4,000.
The majority of the council favor the
employment of an electrical expert to
make a thorough examination of the
plant and report on the same.-Elec-

Her features are regular and when she

Great preparations are being made
for the show by Mr.. Vanderbilt. Among

STUDYING STEEL RAILS.
Railroad Companies Keeping Tabs on
All Kinds of Breakages.

A number of the leading railroads of
the United States, it was learned re-
Gently, are keeping records Of all rail
breakages. including full descriptions
of the conditions under which the
breaks occurred, says the New York
Tribune. The purpose of these records
is said to be to furnish data from
which the specifications for next years
rails can be made up.
A high official in the engineering de-
partment of one of the large eastern
railroad systems in speaking Of the
changes that must be made to guard
against rail breakage said:
Railroad men are pretty well agreed
that some changes must be made in
the specifications for rails which shall
guard against the great number OF
breakages we have had in recent years,
but the problem is a very difficult one,
and | do not know that any railroad
has decided what shall be done. Our
company, at least, has not, We are
not making any tests, but we are study
ing carefully actual cases that arise in
the everyday service.
"Steel men have suggested that
much heavier rail be used, and In fact
one steel company has asked us to let
it roll some 100 pound rails for next
year, but so far we have not consented.
think that the change to an open
hearth rail will be great improve
ment, but IT may not entirely solve the
problem. To produce a rail of differ
ent composition may necessitate the
use of different ores and other ingredi-
ents, while changes in the method OF
treatment will call for radical changes
in plants and machinery, so that it is
not a matter to be decided offhand, |
think 1t will be some time before the
railroads and steel companies agree
upon the best specifications"
Some of the railroad companies have
declared that the adoption of heavier
rail is not the best solution of the
problem, for the reason that expert
ence has shown that some of the old
eighty and elghty-ive pound rails stand
the heavy traffic OF the present day
better than the more recent ninety and
hundred pound rails.

louisville. KY, May 30.-General
John B. Castleman has received tel
egram from Adjutant General Aims
worth at Washington notifying him
that the endurance test across the
continent from Oregon to New Jersey
between an Arabian stallion and a
horse selected by the American Sad
die Horse Breeders association has
been indefinitely postponed. The ride
was to have been started this week
with the object Of determining the
relative endurance and speed of the
American and Arabian horses for the
benefit of future breeding and selec-

The Arabian stallion which was to
have been used was Homer Daven-
ports stallion "Nedjram," and the
postponement followed a letter an
nouncing that Nedjram was sick. The
American horse selected, Clifton"
was brought to this city from General
Castleman's farm a week ago in fine
condition and has since been held here
subject to General Ainsworth's orders.
General Castleman and members Of
the Saddle-Horse Breeders associa'

the condition of Mr.. Davenport's horse

the test could be undertaken this year.

Judge Redwine has refused to preside
in the trials of Judge Hargis and his
alleged co-conspirators for the murder

bench that the cases had been trans

consent, and because Of certain state
(ments in the press Of the state he felt
that 1t would be impossible for him to

The complete count in 25s precincts return ed up to midnight gives Taylor 26.50l. Mccarthy 6,S52. Ryan s,7l0. Langdon 3l,024, McCowan 1S,SS9. This makes for Taylor a round ma iorit.' of 1000 over all the votes cast for Mccarthy. and R.an. and for Langdon q rough majority of 1000 over McGOwan and the socialist candidate.
