How Haas secured the pistol with
which he committed suicide is the ques-
ton which is puzzling the police and
special agents Of the prosecution. Cap
tain Duke says Haas had no other
weapon when arrested, and Captain
Kelly, in charge of the jail, says there
was no opportunity for pistol to have
been passed to the prisoner in his cell
Detective Burns is said to have wor-
ried some sort of admission from Haas
that he was encouraged in his threat
against Heney, but just how much of a
statement was secured from the pris-
oner before he killed himself, the pros
ecution refuses to reveal
Although the bullet has been located,
embedded in the left jaw, about an inch

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-At meeting
of citizens Saturday night, presided over
by Mayor E. r. Taylor, resolutions were
passed declaring unwayering allegiance
to law and determination to support
the district attorneys office in securing
the detection and conviction of crimi-
nails, high or low, and the full protec-
ton of the officers in the discharge of
their duty.
The resolution also declared that, if
the criminal law was found to be so
framed as TO permit the escape of civic
malefactors the law must be amended
and if the lax administration of the law
was due to misnterpretation by judges
men should be placed upon the bench
capable of constituting the law.
The meeting was the most significant
that has been held since the days of the
vigilantes, and demonstrated that public
sentiment is fully aroused and deter
mined to bring an end to the democrat
izing conditions of the last two years.

Kendrick. ~ Local warehouse men
estimate that 80 per cent of the grain
has been delivered and that the re-
eeipts will reach 100000 sacks this
year, or a trifle more than the amount
shipped in 1907. With good roads and
the harvesting season over much earlier
than usual, the farmers have been able
TO market their grain early More than
so per cent has been sold and marketed
TO tidewater buyers and the demand for
grain is such that most of the crop will
be shipped before the new year.
The high price of oats has stimulated
the cultivation of this cereal and the
acreage viii be increased next spring
Oats sell this year for $125 n hundred
pounds and at this price the profit is
greater than on wheat.
The fall-sown acreage in the country
tributary to Kendrick has been in
creased because the fall-sow stands
have yielded much heavier than spring
sown acreage.

Immediately on its new branch line
which is to tap southeastern Washing

of this line into the intermountain
country will be of great benefit to
western Idaho, which has many cities

of this line also means better railway
connections for passengers going to

The Idaho Railway & Navigation
company has the money TO finance the
enterprise, and large portion of the
right of way purchased. The company
will place large crew of men at work

first of next week, and start the con
struction of GA miles of road running

The big Smith-Draper mills. it is
learned today, will shut down tomor-

Well Informed mill men understand
fhat 1t will be for a much greater pe-

mark the real commencement of q
general closing down Of mills in Pied

mills closed down last week and only
one OF the dozen mills in Charlotte op-
Grating full time, the others being
shut down completely or running part
time.
The Smith-Draper mills are five in
number, having a capital Of nearly
$2'ooo.OOO and employing several
thousand operatives. They manufac-
ture white sheetings principally. Four
months the situation in the cotton
goods market has been serious and
grows no better. Prices are low and
there Is little or no demand even al

the mills which have been running
have simply piled up manufactured
goods in their warehouses. While the

Mr.. Bryan's Prosperity.

There Is a material difference be-
tween the new Bryan and the old. In
1895 Mr.. Bryan went to Chicago un-
heralded and unsung, not even pro.
vided with credentials to the con-
vention which afterward nominated
him. but merely at the head Of a con-
testing delegation. Many stories have
been told after the fact OF carefully
laid plans for his nomination. There
were no such plans. Gov. Atgeld
who has been credited with arranging
the coup which resulted In the NOM
nation. was, In fact. the last Of the
strong leaders In the convention to
yield to the demand for 1t. But this
year the new Bryan goes to the con.
vention with two-thirds of the dele
gates either instructed for him or per-
sonally devoted to his cause.
The Bryan Of 1895 was ridiculed
very unjustly for his poverty; the
Bryan Of 1908 is attacked very un-
justly for his wealth. But I remem-
bsr wen that In 90. when some OF
the assertions that he had been un-
able to earn q living for himself In
the practice Of the law stung him
somewhat. he showed me his account
book for the first two years Of his
practice as q stranger in Lincoln. The
records showed a rather singular sue
cess for young and almost un-
known lawyer. Mr.. Bryan has al
ways owned his own home. In 80
II was an attractive and not too small
a frame house within the town limits
OF Lincoln. Some people then sneer-
ed at him because he did not live in
q style more becoming q presidential
possibility. Today they sneer because,
with advancing years and as the result
OF indomitable energy and the utili-
zation OF his. mental power, he has
built himself a beautiful house out
side OF the city Of Lincoln. In brief,
while the first Bryan was by no means
q pauper. the new Bryan is prosper
Gus. but his prosperity has been coin
ed from his own brain and Is In no
way dependent upon speculation. in
vestments. or legal retainers from
trusts or monopolies. Such prosperity
as he has today comes from hard
work on the lecture platform and
from weekly newspaper which he
