NOW FOR CONGRESS
IMPORTANT WORK. BEFORE LAW

Republican Majority Has Opportunity
TO Redeem Promises Made to
the Voters During the Presi-
dental Election.


With an increased majority in con.

carrying out any policy Judge Taft

The working man has a right 20 ex.
pect plenty OF work and plenty of pay.
The railroads which declared they

Bryan would be elected have no

who predicted prosperity under Re

which has been lacking since october.

On the other hand. Judge Taft's con

A Republican congress can give us

A Republican congress can prevent

employees TO draw s65.000.000 a year
from the public pocket. and see that
naval and military expenditures do not

ton, which has been the case under
Roosevelt
A Republican congress can amend
the tariff so that the consumer in
America no longer pays more for
American-made goods than the con-
sumner in Russia or China.
II can curb the trusts and stop the
railroads from favoring monopoly with
rebates at the expense OF the small

A Republican congress can insure
healthy competition in trade. so that
small manufacturing communities will
become active. In Colorado, for In

by the smelling trust, which raised
prices higher than ever as soon as
that competition was destroyed. Mine

A Republican congress can stop fed
eral usurpation and preserve due bal
ance between state sovereignty and
federal supremacy. II can put an end
to bureaucratic administrative rulings,
and preserve to the people the SUI
preme authority which is their right.
The Republican majority can pre-
vent the railroads robbing the people
OF more than 100000 a year by over
taxing the post Office for carrying the
mails. Il can give postal employees
human freedom OF action, and extend
them decent consideration in the mat

Philadelphia, Pa, July 27.-Panic
stricken by a false alarm of fire, orig
mating from a fight between two
boys in the gallery, 200 persons in
the Peoples theater last night in a
mad frenzy tried to reach the DOORS
For a few minutes the audience went
wild. Men. women and children on
the first floor, made rush for the
entrance and exits. Persons in the
balcony and gallery crowded toward
the fire escapes.
That no one was killed probably was
due to the prompt action of Manager
Williams. Grasping the situation,
he at once sent word to the actors to
go on the stage. Eleven performers
clad in stage costume came before the
curtain and began to sing. This
quieted the audience.

GETS HIS REWARD
While Serving in War Soldier
Carries Wounded Officer
On His Back.
HE is WILLED $4,000.

Waukesha, Wis, July 27.-Carrying
a wounded officer on his back. across
fields burning from the heat of a
tropical sun, with only the thought
of reaching medical aid before the
gaping wound brought death to the
sufferer, has finally brought its re-
ward to Harry Daley of Randall
street, this city, formerly a soldier in
the British army.
Reward After Fifteen Years.
For the last fifteen years Daley has
been a cement walk contractor here.
Years ago he served the British
crown as a soldier in the colonies. He
never had the good fortune of rising
from the ranks-perhaps the plan of
leaving the service and seeking a for
tune in the great country across the
water was carried out before merit
could bring its reward.
Left Third of Fortune.
While serving In one of the colonies
Daley took part in many skirmishes
until one day the commanding officer
fell, shot down in country familiar
only to the enemy, where settlements
were few. The officers fall was no
ticed by Daley in the heat of the fight
and the wounded man rescued.
A month ago Daley was called
abroad by the news that this officer
had willed him $4,000, one-third OF
his fortune, and he returned to Wau.
kesha today with the money.

|EV|BENCE AGAINST
STAMM INCREASES
Man Who Murdered His Two
Sons Still Maintains
Innocence.
SEARCH IN THE OLD WELL.
FRIeHTFUL DOORS KEEP PARTY
HUNTING FOR BODY OF ONE
SON FROM COMPLETING ITS
WORK.

Chester, ILL.,, July 27.-William
Stamm, the accused murderer Of his
two sons at Modoc, ILL.,, sixteen miles
north of this city, is still a prisoner
in the county Jail. Sheriff Burns and
his deputies believe within a day or
two they will have conclusive evil
dence of his guilt.
Deputies are at work upon clews
gathered about the scene of the alleg-
ed crime, and Sheriff Burns has re-
ceived information that party en-
gagged in excavating an old we'll which
was filled about the time Of the disap-
pearance of Charles Stamm last May
had been compelled to stop the work
after going to a de pth of several feet
because of the overpowering odor. 1t
is believed that in this well the re-
mains of the missing young men will
be uncovered within the next two
days.
Accused Man Reticent.
Stamm maintains a stolid reucence,
insisting stoutly that he knows moth
ing Of the whereabouts Of his sons.
However, Sheriff Burns has extorted
from him a number Of statements
which are conflicting and deepen the
suspicion against him. Stamm's two
daughters also refuse to divulge any
thing, although at one time one of
them volunteered to point out the bur-
ial place of her brothers, but after
going to the rear of the barn on the
premises suddenly changed her mind
and refused to proceed. This was in
the direction of the old we'll which is
being explored.
Since Stamm's arrest last Thursday
rumors have been circulated alleging
that he treated the members of his
family with great cruelty, which many
allege to be the cause of the insan.
ity of his wife and daughter, the for.
mer still being an inmate of the asy.
lum at Anna. The sons are said to
have been held in subsection and were
ignorant and diffident beyond the
| comprehension of any person who has
lived in civilized community.
Thought Saloon Was Church.
The story is related that but a short
time before the disappearance OF
Charles Stamm he visited Modoc with
| a neighbor. The neighbor entered a
saloon, Stamm following as far as the
door, where he stood with hat in
| hand until the return of his compan
ion, believing that the place was g
church. Modoc Is but three miles
from the home in which he had lived
for many years.
| Although Stamm is not a poor man
his home is but hut, lacking in ever
the necessities of life, and the mem
bers Of his family have not been &C
customed to wear shoes or comfort
able articles of wearing apparel. Ii
view Of the fact that Sheriff Burns
| found in trunk in the home after
the arrest of Stamm money and pa
pers to the value Of nearly $4,000, the
condition in which the family wa,
known to live is considered evidence
against the accused man, who is sale
to have been victim of the mos
violent attacks of temper.
