Train Mreckcr Arrested.

Peter Smith of Toppenish is in the
county Jail at this place charged with
the very serious offense of having at
tempted to wreck the Northern Pacific
train on Sunday night. He was ar
rested by Detective Loker and given
a hearing yesterday before Judge
Goodrich at Toppenish, and bound
over to the superior court his bail
being fixed at $4,000.
The only facts that have been OBJ
tanned here are contained in the COM
mitment from Justice Goodrich. The
evidence introduced was to the effect
that Smith had placed a chain on the
track for the purpose of derailing the
train. Smith entered a plea of not
guilty and made a statement in his
own behalf, but the evidence given by
Detective Loker and two other wit
nesses appeared sufficient to bind the
prisoner over.-Yakima Republic.

Toledo, o., oct. pa request for
the names of the contributors of the
100000 to the campaign fund of the
democratic party" is the salient feat
ure Of an open letter written to Bry-
ar by Hisgen, the Independent candi-
date. printed here.
He denies that Roosevelt is the au-
thor of the charge that the donation
is from the Standard OIL company He
declares the question demands the
letter because the people are wonder
ing who are the contributors. He
said he would rather explain the sit
uation than Treasurer Mack of the
democratic committee, who, he stat
ed. had made a deliberate misstate-
ment about the contribution to the
effect that he did not have the money.
He says it is hard to tell when Mack
is telling the truth.
Hisgen reviews the Haskell charges
ard says Haskell and Mack are bad
eggs from the same basket"
He closes by saying Bryan is un-
fortunate in the choice of his friends
referring to Senators Bailey, McLau-
rim. Roger sullivan, Taggart and
Kern.
Bryan has denied that such fund
as 100000 ever existed These de-
mails are supported by Mack's state
ments.

New York, oct. 23.-The Literary
Digest today announced the result of
a straw vote taken among its readers.
The poll shows total as follows: For
Taft, 1924; for Bryan, 14,712; Cha
fin, 949; total 35,71O. Some votes
were scattering.
1t is declared that 95 per cent Of
those who voted are preachers. law
yers and other educated men. The
straw vote shows that Bryan leads in
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and
California.
Should this vote be a true index to
the election it greatly strengthens
Bryan's chances for success. In the
estimate given by the New York
World California, with 10 votes, and
West Virginia, with five votes, were
both conceded as sure for Taft. while
Maryland. with eight votes, was class
ed as doubtful.

The fact that support is being given
freely to the woolen mill movement
is due largely to confidence felt in

cause of the fact that under his Of

to the stockholders. Should the mill
not succeed he will not make a cent /
