PROSECUTION WINS.
Defendant Who Appeals Cannot Lay
Claim on the State.

OLYMPIA, May 23.-The defend
ant, not the prosecution, is RESPONSE
BILE for the diligence with which a
case is brought to trial on an appeal
to the superior court from judg-
ment of conviction in justice court,
according to an opinion handed down
by the supreme court today in the
case of the state of Washington, ap-
pellant. VS.. O. Glen Parmeter, re-
spOndent, appealed from Chehalis
county. Parmeter was convicted in
police court of violation of a city or
dinance in Aberdeen. July IS, 1907,
he appealed the case to the superior
court. September 81, following, he
moved for the dismissal of the case
on the ground that more than sixty
days had elapsed since the appeal
had been filed in the superior court
and, through no fault of his own, the
case had not been brought to trial
Under the statute in question the
court sustained this contention and
dismissed the case
The prosecuting attorney appealed
to the supreme court, this being one
of the few instances where an appeal
is possible by the state in a criminal
proceedings. The supreme court
holds that where the defendant ap-
peals from the conviction he cannot
take advantage of the statute limit
ing the time within which the case
must be brought to trial, but is him
self responsible for the diligence with
which the case is pushed. The opin-
ion directs the reinstatement of the
case in the superior court.

SUBSIDY Defeated
ship SUBSIDY IS FINALLY DE-.
FEATED.
House Refuses a Second Time to AC-
Cept Amendment. The Senate
Then ReCedeS and the Natter is
Finally Dropped for The Present
Session.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May "a
The house again wrestled with the
subject of mail Subsidies to steamship
companies and once more recorded
itself against the proposition by the
vote OF 145 to 154. The debate ran
well into the night
Having been overwhelmingly de-
feated yesterday, the conferes on the
postoffice appropriation bill this af-
ternoon came into the house with
new report agreeing with the senate
on everything except the subsidy
provision and that relating to the
system for weighing the mails. The
portion of the report on which there
was no disagreement was adopted
unanimously under an agreement to
extend the time of debate on the SUBJ
sidy question.
The senate amendment changing
the standard of weighing the mail by
reducing the number of days on
which the weighing shall be conduct
ed was showed under, "a TO 1S6.
BY reason of the action of the
house in rejecting these amendments
the bill again went back to confer
ence for the third time, although the
senate had agreed to the report.
AS soon as the action of the house
was announced in the senate, Sena-
tor Penrose moved to recede from the
remaining senate amendments and
discharge the conferes. The motion
was carried and the congressional
work on the postoffice bill was thus
completed. The effect is to leave the
mail subsidy out of the bill and thus
effectually dispose of it for the pres
ent session.

THE MISSOURtAN.
Girton Company Makes Hit at the
Grand.

The Girton company presented the
first performance of THE Missou-
rian" to a full house last night at
the Grand theater. The play is one
of the best dramas that has ever been
seen in Aberdeen, even at much
higher prices. The race scene is one
of the greatest that has even been
attempted on stage. The horses
are seen to start and scenery and eff
feet are so arranged that you can
see the horses running at full speed
around the entire mile track. Ken
lucky Boy wins, which brings
shout from the company and audi
ence. There is a lynching mob,
which is very angry. There is an
auctioneer scene, which is very eX-
citing and well staged. The part of
the auctioneer is played by Mr.. Whit
Brandon, the leading man, who gets
a great deal out of it. You imagine
being in a big Chicago sales yard,
when you hear him selling Ken
lucky Boy" the fast running horse.
The story of the play is located in
Missouri, as indicated by the title.
The villain has done a Missouri fam
lily out of it's fortune, including the
old homestead. This man is bank
er, INSCRIPTIONS to degree. Among
the possessions of the family, which
he acquired through his rascality, is
race horse. He has in his employ
a jocky, with whom he has arranged
to throw race, thus enabling him
to completely ruin the family he has
so grievously wronged. The incen-
tive for his rascality is unrequitted
love for the heroine of the play. The
villains plot is revealed to the jockey
and he agrees to win the race-and
does-and the villain is financially
ruined.
The reminders of the war and old
Pap. Price, the famous Confederate
general, are vivid. Miss Ethel Tuck
er displays good piece of acting as
Agnes Benton. Mr.. A. r. Brooks
plays a strong character comedy part
and must be omplimented. Mr.. VIM.
Marson as Bradley Cass, does the viii
lain work and carries his title ex-
ceptionally well. Mr.. Geo. C. Stan
ley, as Uncle Ephriam, a coon, acts
like a real negro and also furnishes
the fun. Mr.. Stuling Whitney plays
the part of the hero, Clay Gerardeau,
and looks and acts the part very
creditably. Miss Ira Sheppard does
splendid as Petit Slark and furnishes
plenty of laughter. Miss Marian
Dunn as Mrs. Capt. Benton does good
work. Mr.. Dick Frazer does a juve-
nile part, Albert McQuarrie, the
jockey, "Stumpy Pit" and is very
good. Mr.. Perry Girton plays a dou-
BILE, the son and the father "Col.
Galloway" who leads the mob, which
is anxious to hang the slayer of his
son. Specialties are furnished by
Miss Ina Sheppard and Miss Agnes
George and Mr.. George Stanley. The
Girton company must be compliment
ed on the way they handle "The Mis-
sourian." The Girton company will
remain at least another week. be-
ginning next Thursday and for the

BRYAN'S ENEMIES.
Keeping His Name Before the Public,
Helps Him.

The Raleigh, On. c. News and
Observer says: "Mr. Bryan has been
greatly blessed by his enemies. They
have criticised him so often upon
false reports that later, when people
would find out that the whole thing
was based on falsehood, they have
learned to wait for the facts before
accepting the criticisms of enemies
The latest criticism is that Mr.. Bry-
an said last week that Governor
Johnson's entering the contest for
the presidency was an 'impertinence.'
OF course Mr.. Bryan never thought
or said anything of the kind, but the
critics went along severely abusing
Mr.. Bryan for an assertion that his
friends knew he never could have
made. After delivering themselves of
the stereotyped 'rebukes' the truth
came out and everybody was forced
to accept the statement that there
wasn't word of truth in the publi-
cation. Did the critics apologize for
the unjust comments based upon an
unjust statement? No, they discov-
cred that a newspaper correspondent
in Washington who had long been an
admirer of Bryan and friend of the
Nebraskan, had made the blunder Of
using that term about the governor
of Minnesota. Mr.. Bryan had never
heard of the statement attributed to
him until he heard the criticisms. I"

conception of Lincoln to the govern
ment of the few? 1t is the fashion
OF the day to laugh at democracy and
speak of the 'peepul,' but we BRYAN
democrats go back more and more To
the greatest of Americans, if not in
deed, the greatest of men, and by his
spirit are dedicated to the task for
which he gave his life, that govern
ment OF the people, by the people. for
the people, shall not perish from the
earth.
Sensible both of the sacrifice
which had already been made for
this cause and of the grandeur of the
ideal, we should consider it both an
impertinence and a PROCLAMATION for
Mr.. Bryan to obtrude any personal
considerations in the campaign. His
duty is to serve. If he is called upon
to lead he has no right to decline
the leadership.

AUSTRIAN CHARITY.
Takes Practical Form---Does Not
Humiliate Worklnen.

One of the greatest charitable in
stitutions in the world has just been
perfected in Austria, says the Wash
ington Post. For centuries the state
has recognized the fact that man,
through no fault of his own, may be
unemployed, and that, at the same
time, there may be many willing and
eager to give him employment. The
state has recognized it as it's duty to
bring the two together For this pur-
pose every small town in Austria
has at least one employment bureau;
the larger towns have several, which
are connected with one another by
telephone.
In nearly every town there is also
a government workshop, and in the
villages government farm, also un-
der the labor department. Any man
or woman who is out Of work may
go to the nearest bureau and learn
in the course of a few minutes what
chances he or she has of finding job
on that day. Those in need of en-
and their desires are telephoned
throughout the district. If no place
offers, the work seekers may spend
the day in the waiting room of the
bureau or be sent to the government
workshop or farm, as the case may
be, where he tolls for his board and
lodging until he is informed that a
place is waiting for him.

THE BEEF TRUST.
Takes Advantage Of the Seller and
Buyer Alike.

The beef combine has faculty of
"reaping where they have not sown,"
as shown by the report of Commits
sioner Garfield, the following being a
short extract from his report:
april 1, 1907, the Chicago price
of cattle was $3.50. April 1S, this
year, the Chicago price of cattle is
$7.45, an advance of thirteen per
cent. That advance is justified. Cat
tie are higher this year because of
the scarcity. When the panic struck
this country in October last it be-
came impossible for cattle feeders to
borrow money to feed their cattle.
They became alarmed, and did not
feed them. The result is a smaller
quantity to market this year, and the
advance of thirteen per cent is reas-
enable.
But what has happened to the
price of provisions, to the product
from these cattle? Has that advanced
thirteen per cent? Yes, according to
the figures published by Bradstreet's
this month the price Of beef at whole
sale, the whole carcass, sold at once,
has advanced twenty-nine per cent,
as against an advance in cattle Of
only thirteen per cent. Thus, while
all business interests are suffering,
this beef combine not only maintains
but actually raises its price to the
wholesalers and that is why the re-
tailers are compelled to advance their
prices to householders."

DIE IN PANIC FOLLOWING FIRE
Scores Crushed as Frantic People Flee From Flames, Scattered Every
 where by Exploding Lamps. .H-

Boyertown, Pa.-A catastrophe, hor. rifying in it's details and sickenfng in it's results, Monday night swept nearly one hundred souls of this borough into eternity in almost the twinkling of an eye, and injured nearly three score, many of them fatally.
 While the Scottish Reformation" was being produced in Rhoads' opera house by Mrs, Monroe of Washington, a tank used in moving picture scene exploded.
 Immediately there was a wild rush for the exits of the building. Men of mature years endeavored to still the panic, but their voices could not be heard above the shrieks and screams of the terrified women and children, who composed the greater part of the audience.
 The scenes cannot be portrayed fitly ny the most imaginative. The blood curGling cries for help of those who vc:o penned in within the walls of the blazing structure, could be heard above the roaring, seething flames. It Heemed as though nearly the entire au- dience made a mad rush for the exits the moment the explosion occurred.
 In their attempts to quiet the great crowd, those persons who were on the stage, accidentally upset the coal oil lamps used as footlights. The burn ing oil scattered in all directions, and the lamps which were used to light the opera house exploded, throwing the blazing oil over the terror-stricken peo- pie, who were fighting frantically to gain the exits.
 In the mad rush, a section of the floor gave way, precipitating scores of persons to the basement As the floor collapsed, the shrieks of the helpless persons who were carried down were heard for blocks.
 Had the women and children needed the warning of the cooler heads in the audience, the horrible loss of life might have been averted, but there was the usual panic and stampede which al- most invariably accompanies such a catastrophe Every home within ra- dius of half a dozen blocks of the op- era house was made a temporary hos pital where the wounded were rush ed by carriages and other means of conveyance.
 Boyertown is a place with a popula- tion of about 2,500, and is located about midway between Pottstown and Reading.

RAILROAD MAN

A man running on railroad has tC be in good condition all the time or he is liable to do harm to himself and others.
 A clear head is necessary to run a locomotive or conduct train. Even a railroad mans appetite and dlges- ton are matters of importance, as the clear brain and steady hand result from the healthy appetite followed by the proper digestion of food.

Davis Introduces Drastic Measure.

Washington Jeff Davis Monday introduced his much heralded bill to prevent dealing in futures of any product of the soil The measure is intricate. It inhibits any person or corporation from directly or indirectly delivering, receiving or transmitting or aiding or being interested in the trans mission of any informaton whatever relating to any plan to speculate or gamble for the gain or loss of any sums of money called margins, which de pend on future increase or decrease in the market price of any product of the soil" The bill lays on the judi ciary the injunction that "the act shall be construed liberally.'

BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Trishman's Mind Af-
 ter the Accident.

Railroad claim-agents have little faith in their fellow creatures. One said recently: Every time I settle a claim with one of these hardheaded rural residents who wants the rail road to pay twice what he would charge the butcher if he gets sheep killed, l think of this story, illustra tive of the way some people want to hold the railroad responsible for every accident, of whatever kind, that happens. Two Irishmen were driving home from town one night when their buggy ran into a ditch, overturned, and they were both stunned. When a rescuer came along and revived them, the first thing one of them said was: Where's the train?' Why, there's no train around he was told. Then where's the railroad?' The nearest railroad is three miles away he learned Well, we'll he commented. I knew it hit us pretty hard, but l didn't suppose it knocked us three miles from the track
