 The negro was practicing medicine across the river from Camden and boarding with another negro named Sterling Morris. He told Morris a cousin oi his was in the grain business Al Grant. Okla, and if Morris would send 10 him for a carload of corn he couli get it at 25 cents a bushel, Morris went to Camden and sent a registered letter containing $137.40 for the corn.
 A few days after Anderson disap- peared The corn did not come, and now il is alleged that Anderson went to the oklahoma town, had himself identified and secured the money Armed with a warrant for his arrest, Sheriff Chidester located his man and took him in. The United States ofti- cers have been there trying to secure Anderson. He is charged with using the mails for unlawful purposes.

POLITICAL POINTERS,

It is up to the Republican managers in Ohio to begin refilling the dinner buckets if they expect to hold on tc Taft's state.
 The hardest fight of the Democrats in this campaign is to keep the Re publicans off their platform.
 But, then, if it was the fear of the Wilson-Gorman tariff law of 1894 that caused the panic of 1893. what was it the fear of that caused the panic of 1907?
 Shall the people rule? Eventually. Speaker Cannon has already passed the three-score- -and-ten mark.
 If there is prosperity parade for campaign purposes this fall Chairman Hitchcock might hire those hundred men who slept in the Morgue chapel, becau3e there was no other refuge for them, to carry his full dinner pails" with the disused chicken legs visibly sticking out of the excelsior contents
 The federal official whom Roosevelt has just threatened with dismissal for "pernicious activity is not in tho south, but in New York. He has doubt less been operating at cross purposes with some of Roosevelt's plans in the Empire state.
 As we look forward to an $S,000,- 000,000 crop, it occurs to us how calamitous it would have been if the Democrats had had their way and re- vised the tariff last spring, so insuring a complete failure of the crops this fall It's funny how wheat is heavy and corn tall according to whether the duty on steel rails is 45 or 25 per cent.
 Wouldn't it be a real jar if, when the troops have caught the Yellow stone bandit and stripped him of his booty and thrown him into chains and peeled off his disguise, it should be found that it was Treasurer Sheldon applying the usual methods of collect ing Republican campaign funds-say wouldn't it jar you?

WITH INTERESTS"
RAILROADS AND CORPORATIONS
 ARE OUT FOR TAFT.
They Do Not Fear the Ex-War Secre tary as They Seemed to Have Feared Roosevelt-NoW
 Very Complacent.

E. H. Hartman has made his con- ,ribution to the Taft campaign fund, according to report The railroads, through their majority owners, are supposed to be throwing such influ- ence as they have to the Republican candidate. The trusts are for Taft. The interests" are for Taft The pos sessors of privileges" are for Taft. The last one of those smtten by the militant author of "my policies" in that famous message sent to congress last January has turned the other cheek and fawned on the man chosen by Roosevelt as the nominee of the Republican party. Do the strange bedfellowships of politics hold any parallel?
 Corrupt business and corrupt poli- ties" wrote the president in that mes sage, act and react with ever in- creasing debasement, one on the other And he continued thus: "The rebate taker, the franchise trafficker, the manipulator of securities, the pur veyor and protector of vice, the black mailing ward boss, the ballot-box suffer. ths demagogue. the mob leader. the hired bully and man-killer all alike work at the same web of corruption, and all alike should be abhorred by honest men
 That was given out about the time when the fear that Roosevelt would himself be renominated had caused the planning and partial execution of the hurt business" campaign. The proud wearers of the epithets in the presidential tirade were seeking to capitalize commercial misfortune. and they persisted until the emphasis of repeated denials brought final assur ance that Roosevelt was not and would not be a candidate. But the horror and fear of Roosevelt has not been passed along to Taft He is apparently in the good graces of the rebate takers, franchise traffickers and the manipulators of securities. The hurt business" campaign has been succeeded by another in which the whole effort is to throw to the party SuCH duNdutdSt as Dt SdiItu claiming for it the restoration of the prosperity which it all but destroyed
 Why is it that the particular forces at whom MT Roosevelt aimed that awful January broadside are now so complacent? Has the threat to make them honest been withdrawn? Has the fear that their privileges" will be disturbed been stilled? Why has the dreadful cabal and conspiracy against the White House been dissolved? Has it been found, or has it been prom. ised that my policies" were made for public consumption and for political effect, and that MT. Taft Is, after all. not tainted with Rooseveltism It would be interesting to know.-St. Louis Republic.
The Nevada County picayune., 1908-09-17
Stronu Tariff Aruument.

It was inevitable that MT. Bryan should make the most, during the campaign, of the sharp differences within the Republican party; that he would overlook no opportunity to em- phasize that Republican leadership in- cludes both the radical Roosevelt and the reactionary Cannon; that if Roose- welt dictated the presidential candi- date, Cannon chose the vice e-presiden- tial, and the platform was made by the conservatives, and that Mir. Taft was compelled to adopt those orphan issues which Chairman Hopkins ad- vised be taken to Denver" by de- claring his personal indorsement of them. despite that his party had spe- officially rejected them.
 It is to the development and expo sition of these contradictions in the Republican situation that MT. Bryan's speech of acceptance is mainly de- voted.
 MT. Bryan makes strong statement of the case as to the tariff revision, from the Democratic point of view. He makes plain that there will be small chance for real, effective revi- sion under a Republican administra- ton; and he is right assuming that the present control of the house of representatives shall contiuue.-Wash. pgton Times.

ROOSEVELT ExTRAVAGANC
Appropriation of Present Admnistra tion Greater than in Civil War

Official figures compiled by the clerks of the house and senate com mittees on appropriations show that eX- expenditures aggregating S1,00S, ,397,- 543.56 were authorized at the last ses- sion of congress. These are the heavi- est appropriations ever made in time of peace.
 When the country was astonished at the spectacle of billion dollar con gress, Speaker Reed could offer no excuse except a plea that this had be- come billion dollar country. But under the Roosevelt regime we .have attained the two billion dollar con gress, which appropriates a thousand millions at each annual session. The appropriation during the last four years of Rooseveltism have mounted up to s3,42S 900 coo, or s33,90O, 900 more than during four years of civil war
 In recent statement to the World Representative James A. Tawney, Re publican chairman of the house com mittee on appropriations, asserted that
 
 ment's revenues, exclusive of postal receipts is today being spent to meet the cost of wars past and anticipated In an article prepared for the ami Nersary number of the World, Senator Allison, the venerable Republican chairman of the senate committee on appropriations, showed that since 1889 there had come an annual increase of $51 100000 in expenditures for the army, an annual increase of $S4 4,000,. 900 for the navy and an annual in crease of s3O.0O0.000 for pensions. These three items alone represent 9 tCtal of $3S1 900, 900 in the appropria- tiCns authorized at the recent session Cf congress-
 This is an annual tax of more than S4.50 on every man, woman and child in the United States for army, navy and pensions alone. It represents an average of $2250 for each family, or mere than half the average months earnings of the American laborer in the period of highest prosperity Y. World.

Falls From Train and Drowns.

Clint Ruff young business man living at Walnut Lake, fell from the catoose of an Iron Mountain freight train while crossing Walnut lake Sat ufday night and was drowned. The body was recovered several hours later
 Ruff was subject to epilepsy and had had an attack early that morn ing
 Saturday night he and number of companions boarded the freight, Run getting into the caboose from side entrance. while the others climbed on top They rode only beyond the tres tie and got off, when they heard a splash in the water. but heard no cry. The presumption is that as Ruff was entering the car while it was on the trestlc a recurrence of the attack made him lose his grip and that he fell backward into the water.

Tries to Escape; Burns to c.a,b.

attempting to break jail by starting
 "hlch soon spread beyond his eon'ioi negro named Russell was ihursday morning burned to death besides causing the jail at Dumas to De destroyed by fire. Upon hearing 'H0 pflsohers frantic cries for help at apout l:3O o'clock Thursday morn ihg' citizens residing in the vicinity ol the Jail rushed to the scene to find the structure in flames. but they were ehable either to approach the build ing TOT the purpose of releasing the prisoner, or for preventing the de stfuction of the jail. Only prompt acton on the part of the townspeople who were attracted by the negro's cries, and the fact that the iail and courthouse are separated by a mum. Der or large shade trees are respon- slDIe Tor the fact that the court house too' dld not fall victim to the cremat ed mans misguided action.
 Russell was bound over by Squire Cook Wednesday morning to await the actlcn of the Desha County Grand Ju. Try on the charge of stealing. He was to have been ordered to the county Jail at Arkansas City, but was lodged temporarily in the jail at Dumas. Af ter an incarceration of nearly an en- tire day, the prisoner devised an in genious method of escaping from the clutches of the law. Accordingly he started fire in the southwest corner of the building and in that way soon burned fairly large opening in the wall. However, as the door was open the iron grating alone being locked the resulting draft through the cell famed the flames into large sized confagration and it was but short time before the fire had passed be- yond the control of the negro. Be- coming frantic when he saw that un- less outside help was forthcoming he must be cremated, Russell began to call for help. His cries were heard for several blocks and citizens hur ried 10 the scene. By that time, how ever, the flames were issuing from all parts of the jail and the marshal was foiled in his attempt to unlock the door of the cell.
 The charred remains of the negro were found Thursday morning after the flames had spent themselves.
