LIGHTNING KILLS MILITIAMEN
THREE SOLDIERS MET DEATH IN
CAMP AT GETTYSBURG.
Terrific Storm Struck the camp-The
Injured Number 26-Gov. Stuart
Had Narrow Escape.

Gettysburg, Pa.-As a result OF q
severe storm which passed over the
encampment of the national guard of
Pennsylvania Thursday night. three
troopers were killed and 26 seriously
injured.
The dead are:
Private Barbe, Eighteenth regiment.
Private Morrison. Tenth regiment.
Private Carver, Tenth regiment
1he body of Carver was severed in
twain as though by a sword.
The greatest confusion prevailed
and the visitors to the camp as well
as many of th troopers were panic
stricken.
Inc field hospital is crowded with
injured and the colonel of the Tenth
regiment gave up his quarters to
those in immediate need of medical
assistance.
When the storm came up Gov. Stu
art was entertaining a few friends in
his tent. The storm broke with such
suddenness and fury that the occu-
pants of the tent found themselves en-
tangled in the canvas and ropes in an
instant, but all escaped serious in
jury.
There were nearly so men in the
regimental guard tent of the Tenth
regiment when the storm broke and
not one is believed to have escaped
injury.
The men of the Second brigade,
whose tents were pitched in the low
land, were forced to swim to safety.
Ihelr cots are floating about the
camp and not tent of this brigade
remains intact.
When the storm swept down upon
the camp there were hundreds of Wis
itors present.

"lnexpressibly Happy"

Any formal statement that Secre,
tary Taft might have made with refer.
ence to his nomination for the pres!-
dency would have been colorless as
compared with the simple statement.
Il am inexpressibly happy" No other
impromptu comment could have meant
more. For, after all, the feeling of a
man who has achieved such an honor.
able distinction, has earned it and
won it in spite of almost malicious
opposition, but who has Kept his faith
and his heart and his cheer cj counte-
nance, may be better loft to the popu-
lar imagination.
Naturally, Mr. Taft is very happy.
and in this happiness the Republican
party should share in an unusual de-
gree. Even those of the Democratic
faith should be patriotic enough to be
glad that the Republican party has
done so well.

A HIGHER COURT
REvERSES lands
HUGE FINE IMPOSED ON STAND.
ARD OIL CO. is DECLARED
ILLEGAL.
NEW TRIAL OF REBATE CASE
is Ordered by United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, Three Judges
concurring in the Opinion
Handed Down.

Chicago, Ill.-Following the unan.
imous decision on Wednesday of
Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker.
composing the United States circuit
court of appeals, reversing and re-
mand1ng the case of the government
against the Standard OIL Company of
Indiana, in which case Judge Landis
in the district court had imposed a.
nne of 29,240, 900, the federal attor-
neys announced that the government
had 30 days within which to file a De-
tition for a rehearing, and that 1t
would be filed within that period.
In the case that was reversed
Wednesday, the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana was found guilty of
accepting rebates on shipments of oil
from its refinery at Whiting, Ind, to
East st. Louis, Ill. Judge Landis
hned the company $4,000 on each
OF 1,462 counts, each count represent
Ing car load shipment
The opinion of three judges of the
higher court leaves little of the con-
tention that each car load constituted
separate offense Even the various
shipments, of which there were about
500, could not be considered as SEN
arate offenses under the ruling of the
court of appeals. The fine should
have been based on settlements be-
tween the railroad and the oil COM
pany, the oAinion holds Of these
there We're just SO. The maximum
fine on this basis would amount to
$72O,0OO and the minimum $4,000. 1t
is said that $223,000 is the total
amount which the Standard Oil Co. is
alleged to have received as rebates
on the shipments in question.
In the event that a rehearing is de.
MED, the government may go to trial
on the original indictment. containing
l,462 counts. Such an action, Dis
trict Attorney Sims could be ready to
take within two weeks. There are
also seven other indictments, con-
tanning 4,422 counts. AS vast
amount of work has been done on the
case already decided and reversed, 1t
is unlikely that an entirely new case
will be instituted. The record of the
present case contains over a million
and half words, and is estimated to
have cost the government 100000.
Another move which may be made
by the federal attorneys is to trans
fer the prosecution from this jurisdic-
tion either to the western New York
district, or to the eastern Tennessee
court. In these two districts, the
government investigation led to in
dictmeRts containing about 1000 !
counts against the Standard Oil Co.

ON A BRUISED REED
REST DEMOCRATIC HOPES OF
ELEcTlNG A PRESIDENT.
Party Already Confesses Defeat When
II Admits That 1t Depends for
Victory on Desertions from
the Enemy's Ranks.

1t is declared to be the intention O,
Bryan to steal the Roosevelt livery tc
serve his party. Mr.. Bryan is not built
right to wear it, and the first voice tC
tell him so doubtless will come from
the White House. The livery NAV be
handed down, but it will go to a man
who will make proper use of it. and
who has some garments of his own
to add to the supply.
Word comes that the Democrats dur.
ing the campaign will praise Roose
Feit and damn his party. They will
say that their candidate is the logical
successor of the man now in Office.
lheres no logic in it, and the party
OF defeat confesses at the outset that
having no reserve strength it must de.
pend for victory on the forlorn hope
or desertion from the ranks Of the
enemy.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been called a
radical; doubtless he is one. but
there has been a leaven of conserva-
tlsm in all his radicalism, and the Re-
publican ship in entering new seas has
had firm hand at the helm. The So
called reactionaries of the party have
condemned the president without stint.
1t has not hurt him, nor has it lost TO
the Republicans the conservative vote
For conservatism it takes not sec
onds thought to choose between
Rooseveltism and Organism.
The masses of the Republicans be.
Heve in the advanced policies of the
party They want progress, but they
also want an assurance that the path
doesn't lead to deadfull. They will
hardly be induced to follow a man who
has stolen their guides clothes.
The Democratic party always has
mad capacity for laundering. Pos
sibly it is not the part of wisdom to
give advice, but if Mr.. Bryan and his
friends desire to hurry the day of the
presidents advent into the campaign
as special pleader for the cause of
Mr.. Taft, they will continue to claim
that Organism is simon pure Roose-
veltism.
The president cares little for prece-
dent, provided he thinks the people
won't growl at a little smashing of
rules honored by time and nothing
else. 1t would be sheer joy for him
to get chance to use the big stick
on certain Democratic pretensions.
Roosevelt is Republican. Progress
slve policies are the party policies.
and they have place in the party's
pledges. The president is not going
TO sit idle at Oyster Bay while these
policies are tilched. The Democrats
apparently are about to give the pres
ldent a challenge to take the field.
They hope he won't accept it, but
challenges never lie long at the Roose-
welt gate. The coming campaign
won't be altogether tame.

INVOICE THAT is NEEDED.
Wisdom in Securing Statement Of
Country's Natural Wealth.

The president has called for an in
voice of the natural resources of the
United States. He wants the informa-
tlon before the first of January for
use In connection with possible con-
Sressional action regarding the con-
serVation of these resources. Such
an invoice is fundamental. II it is
/ properly taken and the statistics are
grouped as they should be the report
viii be one of the most important and
valuable documents ever published by
the government.
Inc phrase natural resources" has
Deen pleasing thing to coniure with.
But there has never been any adequate
attempt to define the words in ex.
press terms. Books have been written
upon different features of natural
wealth. Some of these give a pretty
good idea of the extent of these re-
sources. There have been estimates
or the amount of coal or iron or gold
or silver. There have been descrip-
tions of the vast areas covered with
forest.
what is now proposed Is a careful
and concise invoice taken for busi-
ness purposes and with definite end
IN view. Our natural resources have
been sufficiently exploited for rhetor-
ical effect. There are few people, pos
sibly no one at all, with any real
knowledge about the extent and char
acter of such national wealth.
An accurate statement will be valu-
able as check upon lavish outlays in
the future, such as have marked the
river and harbor bills for many years.
If there had been certain knowledge
of scientific value available for con-
gressional information many thou
sands of dollars wasted in useless
improvements" might have been
spared. The Importance of knowing
Just what there is to conserve is evi-
Gent. The invoice should precede the
adoption of any comprehensive plan
FOR large outlays. Its accuracy should
be unquestioned.

DESPERAD0ES RAN AMUCK.
Two Bandits Shot II Persons in the
Streets of Jamaica Plain, Mass.

Boston, Mass.-Eleven persons were
shot on Wednesday night, three of
them probably fatally, by two des-
peradoes who, on being pursued by
policemen and a crowd of citizens.
fed for two miles through a thickly
settled district of Jamaica Plain. fir
ing right and left and disappeared In
the woods near Franklin park. The
men are believed to be two of the
gang of three who robbed a saloon in
Jamaica Plain Tuesday night after
shooting and killing one man and
wounding two others.
Mrs. Della Fallon is one of the
most seriously injured of last nights
victims. She was standing in front
of her home with her baby in her
arms when the two men, pursued by
a crowd, came down the street. AS
they passed her one of them fired
and the bullet entered her head. She
was removed to hospital in a criti-
cal condition.
1t is believed that the desperadoes
lay concealed in Calvary cemetery
while the police were hunting for
them on account of Tuesday nights
hold up and robbery.
The robbers fed with hundreds of
men pursuing, and soon disappeared

Yankee Sprnters Completely Out

Were Expected to Win.

London, England,-It would be no

the 100000 spectators who witnessed
the finishing struggle of the Marathon
race (26 miles) at the Olympian are
ma Friday to say that it was the most
thrilling athletic event that has oc-
Cured since that Marathon race in
ancient Greece, where the victor fell
dead at the goal and, with wave of
triumph, died.
Since the beginning of the OLYMPIC.
games the great rivalry has been be-
tween England and America and
while the minor competitions on the
track and field, in which the two ma
tions specialized, were fought out.
Englishmen consoled themselves for
all the American successes by the
thought that in the domain of long
distance running they always had
been supreme, and whatever prizes
they failed to grasp in this the CO.
lonials would pick up.
The sequel may be told briefly. Six
Americans started in the Marathon
race and nine English runners. Of
the first ten men to reach the coveted
goal, four were Americans and they
are officially placed as follows:
John Hayes, first; Joseph Forshaw.
Missouri Athletic club, third; A. R.
Welton, Lawrence Y. NJ. C. A., fourth.
and Lewis Tewinipa, the Carlisle In
dian, ninth.
The second man was Hefferon of
fpiI T.
among the runners, having "a years
to his credit, and he made a remark
able pace almost to the end of the
struggle.
The first Englishman who crossed
the line came in twelfth. He was
w. T. Clarke and was not one of those
counted upon to win. Duncan, the
former English champion, who won
the preliminary English trial. fell out
at the twelfth mile.
The race is not only a triumph for
the United States but, in a larger
sense, for America, because seven of
the leaders at the end were from

Durando crossed the line first, but
as he fell several times after he en-
tered the stadium and each time was
helped to his feet by over-zealous of
fcials, he was disqualified. The
Judges decision was unanimous that
Hayes won the race properly.
