most active aid" in town in

From His Own State So His
Rival Can Not Act in
His Absence.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10
Gov X. o, Pindall. the acting chief
executive of Arkansas, has come to
Washington to attend the conference
OF governors and has brought his
state government with him to keep
his rival from running away with it.
In order to insure safe keeping,
while he was absent, Governor Pin
dali thought the only sure plan was
to carry his government right along
to Washington with him. 1t is prob
ably the only case on record in
which an executive officer carries
the government with him to keep 1t
from being stolen when he isn't look
ing.
In the last day or two. dispatches
have told that as soon as Governor
Pindall started for Washington, Al

claimed himself governor. The gov

Charles w swisher was not re-
sponsihle for the shuttieworth-
scherr affair, nor were any OF the
friends Of either swisher or Scherr.
II appears to have been an encounter
on the spur OF the moment and no
one had any thing to do with 1t ex-
cept shuttleworth and scherr.
Friends Of both Mr.. scherr and
Mr.. shuttleworth regret exceedingly
the incident. as well as do the people
Of the city generally, but, as it was
purely personal matter between the
two men, attempts to use it to the
advantage Of Mr.. scherr come with
very bad grace.
Certainly, there Is no logical reason
why Swisher should suffer on account
of the acts of one who is not for him
for governor and never mas been, but,
who to the contrary has repeatedly
expressed preference for Scherr.
1t IS stated that before the ARRAY
took place Mr.. shuttleworth told Mr..
Scherr he was for him.
ASSAhS VI eAlG RWuliSuGu I6pQEts
about the incident are so devoid of
truth and so highly colored with a
malicious fiction that newspapers so
imposed upon should repudiate the
authors OF the reports.
AS matter OF fact Mr.. Scherr him
self expressed himself as attaching
but little significance to the affair,
and expressed the desire that there
should be no wide publicity of the
incident. But. designers against the
Republican party saw to it quickly
that the proper coloring was put on
and then the manufactured article
sent to the winds of the earth, with
a mere grain of truth in it.
The Telegram at the end of an
investigation can reach no other cor
rect conclusion then that 1t was only
a personal matter between the two
men.

AS we remember the mayor of the
city suggested that the ordinances of
the city should be revised and codi-
fed Attorney Charles w. Moore,
who is highly competent to do the
work, submitted proposal to do the
work at compensation to be fixed
and determined by the council upon
recommendation and advice of the
council The proposal was such that
the council itself must fix the pay.
For a reason prompted by spite, re-
venge or some other motive the pro-
posal was. bitterly fought by certain
interests and then the council is be-
rated for ordering done exactly what
the mayor asked to be done. The
council, however, may congratulate
itself on Its action and is in good posi-
tion to so right along with the bust
ness Of the city without feeling the
least hurt over such peevish and
childish criticisms.

SWEET MELODY FLOUR.
CARRIES
OFFICE WITH HIM

for some time has been acting COVER
nor. The constitution further pro-
vides that when the acting governor
is out OF the state the speaker OF
the house shall act as governor. I'm
der this provision of the constitution,
Hamiter has undertaken to govern
Arkansas in the absence OF Cover
nor Pindall.
But Mr.. Pindall was aware OF
what the speaker OF the house in
tended to do. He did not look upon
the occasion as one that necessitated
any one acting as governor in his
place, but Hamiter was. apparently,
ambitious to hold the reins of author
ity. SO Mr.. Pindall concluded to
bring with him his secretary of state,
Q. c. Ludwig, and enough other state
officials who are members of the i'm
portant boards through which the
governor of Arkansas transacts much
OF his business, to leave these boards
SO stripped OF members as to make 1t
impossible for them to do any bust
ness Of Importance in his absence.
He has about a dozen Arkansaus
with him. most of them men promi-
neRt on the leading boards of the
state.
The result is that Mr.. Hamitcr.
while enjoying the title of acting gov
ernor of Arkansas, can grant par
dansl and appoint notaries public, and
do few minor things of that sort,
but he cannot execute any DEGREES OF
great moment and get them carried

The impression attempted to be
made that the shuttleworth-Sche
affair at the Waldo hotel was the re-
suit OF the formers being for Swisher
for governor and opposed to Scherr,
is a mistake Mr.. Shuttleworth has
never been for Swisher and has never
worked for him. On the contrary he
felt friendly to the Scherr candidacy.
But, there are some without political
conscience who construe things to
suit themselves and to carry their
point.

There was much disappointment
with some of the hungry Democratic
Office seekers at the Prohibition con
vention Friday afternoon. Some OF
them were there ready to be nomi-
mated or Endorsed, but the conven-
ton concluded there would not doe
any fusion and went even farther by
passing a resolution instructing It's
nominees not to even permit their
names to so on any other than the
Prohibition ticket. This was a hard
blow to the Democratic slate franz
ers and came with such sudden sur.
prise that it took their breath away,

Bold HOIdup

a sensational holdup last night when
highwaymen entered the Midway hotel
shot and killed Charles Thomet, who

the three patrons to hold up their
hands.
Thomet reached for his revolver and
opened fire. wOunding one of the rob-
bers, who fired at Thomet who then
staggered through the door dying.
BloOdhOunds from Spokane are being
brought to trail the murderers.
After Thomet fell into the other
room the desperadoes entered the room
through another door and shot him
several more times. They then es-
capped in the direction of Ferry, Wash
ington. One of the quartet held up was
a local banker. No attempt was made
to touch the till. Thomet was one of
the best marksmen in this part of the
country.

1t comes on a non-factional platform
The idea is not entertained for mo-
ment that Hitchcock will be drawn
into an alliance with Fulton. A. step
in that direction will be erectually
blocked at the start if political in
genuity is capable Of accomplishing the
act.
In consequence, with Beach confer
ing with Hitchcock, Bourne and Cake
in Portland, Fultonites struggling for
the trump card and the Cake Bourne
adherents forestalling each and every
play, republican political factions in
Oregon are more than likely to reach
the point where for some time they
have been making ugly grimaces at
each year That point will be a dead
lock.
Hence, the arrival of Senator Bourne
and Chairman Cake in Portland will
result in somewhat of a astir in the
ranks. fractional swords will again be
sharpened. Things will come quickly to
head.

WIND TO BE USED IN
HEARSTS INDIANA CAMPAIGN.
Maker of Band instruments to be
Nominated for Governor by
Willie's Party.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 81
Brass bands will play a prominent
part in the campaign Of the Hoosier
branch of the Hearst independence
party, if the plans of the party leaders
are carried out. Charles G. Conn., of
Elkhart, the millionaire manufacturer
of musical instruments, is being urged
to accept the nomination for governor
and according to delegates who are
here today in advance of the state con-
vention, ne will probably accept.
Mr. Conn is known all over the
world as maker of wind instruments
and his fame in this direction should
insure him the brass band vote. He
has made many millions in his busi-
ness. Until recently he was a demo-
crat and served several times in con-
gress. AT one time he was the owner
of the Washington Times, now the
property of Frank Munsey, which he
conducted for the alleged purpose of
giving his congressional acts proper
publicity. He is a clever advertiser,
and if nominated for governor by the
Independents, will likely make a spec
tacular race.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. "a lively
debate between the conservatives and
radicals of the Church of England in
Canada will likely be precipitated at
the session of the general synod 10 he
held here next month. For sor,a time
there has been much opposition among
the more orthodox churchmen to some
of the advanced teachings of clergy
men and college professors. In order
that the matter may be threshed out by
the synod, the Rev. DR.. Langtry has
introduced a motion attacking the
conclusions of what Is known as the

and "modernists" within the church
will likely oppose the adoption of such
q motion, and verbal warfar. may

There is determination written in
