The presence of the large body of sol diers was irritating to some sections of the community and there was an element of trouble there that could not be overlooked" This opinion is endorsed in other quarters.

MARKET WAS DULL
 AND MEANINGLESS
Hartman Issues Showed Increased Strength Due to a Better Under standing.

New York, Aug. 19.-Briefly sum marized todays market was dull, mar row, meaningless. Trading was very much curtailed and it required but a glance at the list of buyers and sellers to make clear the professional char acter of the days operations. The in creased strength on the Hartman is sues is ascribed to further digestion of the annual reports of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific recently submitted, where it is manifest both systems made material reductions in operating expenses. despite the in creased taxes imposed. Metal stocks were pressed for sale frequently dur ing the day, American Smelling being heavily sold by an operator recently identified with the advance.

 IF HE SAYS so
Minnesota's Governor Renominatec Yesterday with Frenzied Enthusi- asm.


 Minneapolis, Aug. 19.-Governor Johnson was today renominated for governor by the democratic state convention. Following the mention | of his name by Mayor Lawler of St Paul, the convention stampeded for Johnson and a wild demonstration lensued. Standards were waved by delegates. headed by a brass band which marched through the hall. A messenger was sent. to notify the governor His answer is awaited with suspense ,as he had previously stated emphaticaIly that he would not run again. The convention, how ever. presisted in ignoring his dec
 laration.
 When asked tonight if he would accept the nomination, Mir. Johnson lsaid; T have not been officially notified of my nomination, so l have nothing to say"
 The demonstration continued sixty four minutes at the first mention of JohnsOn's name and the delegates
 went into a frenzy of enthusiasm.
 The aisles and stage were quickly filled with deelgates yelling like In Idians and executing war dances upon the press tables. A huge photograph .of Johnson was seized from it's place on the platform and borne alOft by the delegates while the band struck up Marching Through Georgia '
 Banners were forced into the hands of ladies among the spectators on the platform and they were forced to join in the yelling throng. Only be- cause there was a limit to the exer- tion of lung and limb did the demon stration gradually subside.

TO MONTANA ON BICYCLES

Charles w. German and Vincent Ed monds, two young men of Philadelphia left their home town last week for Mile City. Montana, and expect to make the trip in fifty-two days by bi- cycle. This is figuring very closely upon what are practically unknown conditions, but both are good riders. and they have laid out their itinerary with great care. They are going west to take positions on a large ranch, and have timed themselves to be in Mile City at a certain date. The trip calls for 2,7OO miles of riding.

THE LFPER
 CASE AGAIN Another Sensation Comes From Tombstone
Mrs. Wardwell Escaped From Quarantine--FrOb- ably Gone to California.

Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. 19.-AnOther sensational feature developed in the Wardwell leper case when it was learned that Mrs. Wardwell the quar- antined leper here had escaped from her quarters and her whereabouts were unknown. Later developments indicate that the woman escaped about midnight last night and it is presumed boarded a Southern Pacific train for California, heavily yelled and glOved to hide the unmistakable leprosy marks and prevent consternation on the train should her identity become known.
 The Arizona authorities have been much embarrassed in handling the case, the federal government denying aid to deport her to the leper colony and no local authority or territorial law is provided to care for such cases. Plans to have the leper returned to California from where she came have been openly discussed and since the authorities have not been active to overtake the fugitive it is suspecDd friends rendered financial aid to fur ther the escape
 Mrs Wardwell suffers a peculiar dementia in refusing to believe that her husband is dead, frequently eX- pressing a desire to go to him in Cal ifornia. This fact made her escape comparatively easy.

MAYPoLE MINE DISASTER.

Wigan, Aug. 19-The worst fears have been realized about the explosion which occurred in the Maypole mine yesterday. The entOmbed miners num- bered about 70 and it is impossible that any survived.
 Rescue work, however. continues un- ceasingly. Thirty bodies were discov- cred today in the workings, but the fumes from the burning coal prevented the rescuers from reaching the others who are probably lying down in the mines. A few bodies were brought to the surface today. but all were so blackened and mutilated their identi- fication is impossible.

Remarkable Achievement of Five
 Revolutionary Heroes.

Remarkable Achievement of Five Revolutionary Heroes.
 When Savannah was invested bv the American army Captain French, with a small body of British regulars and Eve small vessels. was stationed twen- ty miles up the river. and the prox- imity of the American force made him nervous. Colonel John White of the Georgia line wanted to capture this de tachment, but no soldiers could be spared by the American general for the undertaking. Now, the colonel was a determined and masterful man and re- solved to make the venture on his own account. He persuaded his three or derlies and Captain Ethholm to aid him. 7@
 At the fall of night they built great many fires in the woods near the Brit tsh post, arranged so as to give the i'm pression of a hostile camp of large force. Then the colonel and his four friends, Initiating the manner of the stan, rode with haste in various direc- tons, giving orders in a loud voice. French became satisfied that a large body of the enemy were upon him, and. being summoned by Colonel White. he surrendered his detachment; the crews of i've vessels and 13O stands of arms"
 Colonel White pretended that he must keep back his troops. as Tory out rages had infuriated them and indis- criminate slaughter might take place. He took the parole of the British cap- tain and soldiers not again to serve, gave them three guides. his orderlies, to escort them to safe quarters and hurried them away before daybreak lest the fury of his pretended soldiers should fall upon them.-L.

which stands near the: New York city hall. Neither had any portrait of Hale upon which to work, for none exists. They had to be guided by the descrip- tlons of the hero which have been handed down and by their own con- captions of his appearance and expres- sion.
 Each statue has its own special ad- mirers. Hale was twenty-0ne' at the time of his cruel death. Perhaps he seems more bOyish in the statue by MacMonnies. Partridge has succeeded well in expressing in the features of his Hale the patriotic fervOr of the young enthusiast in the cause of the new nation and his athletic qualities. The hero was about six feet tall and could put his hand on fence as high as his head and clear 1t with a bound. The spot on the Yale campus where he made the famous jump that marked him as the best all around athlete of the college was shown for years after his time. He is said to have possessed not only ideal proportions, but grace and charm which endeared him to all he met Yale men are enthusiastic oyer the manner in which MT. Par fridge has met their ideals in the DOT trayal of Hale.

You'll climb to the top of that flag pole and put back that flag" said the recorder. There Is nothing the mat ter with the American flag at any hour of the day. and the reason have in- sisted upon this public punishment for you is that want to set an example for the benefit of any person who may feel disposed to hold from the flag the respect which is it's due"
 Escorted by several dozen men and boys, Taylor went with two policemen to Le Fevre's front yard. Gathering the flag under one arm and holding a hammer, he scaled the pole with diff culty and, amid the cheers of the crowd, nailed the flag back in the position in which he had found it. There was a great deal of cosmopolitan rejoicing.
 By the time Taylor had climbed to the top of the pole and slid down again there was very little disrespect for the flag left in the neighborhood.- .- New York Herald.
