United States.
For the second time within the
span of four years the Republl-
cans are to formulate a national
ticket within the walls OF the Chi

this month Theodore Roosevelt
was nominated for the highest of

Now the Republican standard
bearer who is expected to carry
forward the Roosevelt policies
which have become household

period, is to be nominated in
the same environment.

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 15.-After
dreaming Of the exact circumstances
OF his own murder four days ago,
John Buchtern, a wealthy rancher
living near here. wrote the story in
detail, describing every incident in a
letter to his cousin, james Barry.
Today Buchtern was killed by a
negro under circumstances exactly as
described in the letter which was re
ceived by Barry this morning.
Buchtern dreamed that he was shot
in the back by a man with a large
scar across the back of his neck and
whose forefinger was cut off at the
first joint.
That description describes exactly
Raymond Newton, a negro with whom
the rancher became involved in a
trifling quarrel this morning After
his alteration with the negro Buch-
tern mounted his horse and had no
sooner turned his back than the ne
gro pulled a gun and shot him, death
being instantaneous.
Newton escaped but was later cap
tured by a posse of citizens. who are
now guarding him against the menace
OF mob which threatens hanging
The murderer's brother has been
lynched by the mob.

Thursday last night caused the death
of J.R. shew of this place at the
Walla Walla hospital. Mrs. shew
absorbed some Of the poison while
dressing her husbands hand and now
lies at dath's door in the same insti-
tuition. 1t is doubtful If she recovers.
The poison in both cases seems to,
be particularly virulent and husband
'and wife both suffered the greatest
agony. No sooner had Shew injured
himself than he dressed the wound.
Mrs. Shew assisted him in caring for
it and became poisoned through a
crack in the skin of her hand AS
both patients grew rapidly worse
they were hurried to Walla Walla for
treatment. "a
The story is particularly tragic as
Shew leaves his wife and four small
children absolute destitute. The SYM
pathy of the whole town was mani
tested in a subscription taken by Mrs.
William Birdsell yesterday to secure
money to defray the burial expenses.
Shew and his family came to Free
water recently from Indiana where
they had formerly made their home.
The man was about AZ years of age.

Philadelphia. Sept. l5.-William j.
Bryan reached Philadelphia on his
eastern tour today. and in a speech
this afternoon accused Secretary Taft
Of evading the issues Of the campaign
IN the statement recently issued from
Cincinnati, in reply to Bryan's accu-
sations. Bryan reiterated that Taft
had never made his position known
and declared that the republican can
didate's statement was like his
speeches and dealt in generalities. He
declared that there was much for
Judge Taft to explain regarding his
record in the Philippines, the Ben
guet systems perpetual franchise with
its guaranteed perpetual income.
Bryan alleged that Taft had made
mistake Of S114.OOO0OO in his esti-
mate of the cost OF Imperialism in his
notification speech. Taft placed the
cost at s6.0OO,OOO annually while
Bryan declares that the increased cost
of army and navy alone amounts to
S12O,OOO.OOO.
MIR. Bryan declared during his
speech that he did not desire govern
ment ownership of the railroads but
that he did hope that the roads would
permit regulation. He declared in
favor of an income tax claiming
credit for assistance in drafting the
income tax law of 1894 and alleged
that Taft now declares the principal
of that law sound.

THIRTY BUSHELS is ALL.
Authoritative Reports Show Actual
Yield of Alaska Wheat.

Spokane, Wash. Sept 15.-Au-
thoritative reports have been receiv-
ed in Spokane that the claims made
by Abraham Adams for the socalled
Alaska" wheat grown on his ranch
near Juliaetta, Idaho, are not justi-
fled. The average yield is about 80
bushels to the acre instead of from
100 to 222 as he asserted, and It is
not true that the grain can be grown
anywhere. The flour-making quail
ties of the wheat are unknown for
the reason no official test has been
made Experts say that If Adams
claims were true the wheat farming
industry would be revolutionized.
but since he has failed to make good
on his assertions, the discovery of an
agricultural marvel is exploded, and
is, in fact, without foundation.
