HALSTEAD
Famous Newspaper Man and
War Correspondent
Is Dead i

Cincinnati, O., July 2.-Murat Hal
stead, one of the leaders of Amer
lean Journalism for over half a cen
fury and widely known in editorial
circles and among magazine writer's,
died at his home in this city this
evening in his 10th year.
He was native of Butler county,
Ohio, and after short service on a
literary weekly, he, in 1853, became
connected with the Cincinnati Com
mercial, in which he secured a small
interest year later, and becoming
chief owner in 1865, Nearly twenty
years later his paper was eonsolidat-
ed with the Gazette and he was edi-
tor-in-chief of the combined news
paper until years afterwards, when
another consolidation was effected,
the new owners securing control
For time he was editor of the
Brooklyn Standardization and during
the last ten years he has figured
largely as a magazine and special
newspaper writer, besides Issuing a
number of books on current mat
tiers of historical interest. In the
civil war Mr.. Halstead personally re-
ported many battles, being rated as
a war correspondent of the first class,
and later in the Franco-German war
and also in the Spanish-American
war added to his reputation in that
line.
For fifty years he attended and
reported all Republican national con-
yentions and in 1860 he was the only
newspaper man who reported all the
varied political conventions of that
year.

Pafker's Cleveland ResOIu-
ton Has Aroused Ire of
the Bryan Men
They Claim II Is a Slap al
NebfaSkan'S Financial
Record

Denver, Col, July 2.-Charging
that Alton B. Parker's resolution of
tribute to the memory of the late
President Grover Cleveland, is a
clever move on the part of the enem-
les of Bryan to infuse factional feel
ing into the Democratic national
convention, friends of the Nebrask-
an today determined to offer a reso-
luton of a character designed not
to raise controverted political issues.
Through control of the temporary
organization of the convention, the
Bryan following expects to have its
resolution brought to the attention
of the delegates Immediately after
the speech of the temporary chair
man. In that event, the Parker reso-
luton would have to be offered as a
substitute, If submitted at all, and
the Bryan men declare that the New
York delegation would thereby be
placed in the attitude of attempting,
under the guise Of eulogizing great
party leader, to create strife and dis
satisfaction and to make harmony
impossible.
All the Democrats without regard
to factional affiliations, applaud the
suggestion coming from the New
York that the national convention
should embrace the first opportunity
of honoring the memory of Mr..
Cleveland, but most of those who
have expressed themselves on the
subject are of the opinion that the
resolutions adopted should not con-
tain anything over which could be
the slightest difference of opinion.
The New York resolution, which was
made public last night, is denounced
by such Bryan leaders as Mayor
Dahlman of Omaha, and Judge Wade
of Iowa, member of the national
committee from that state. They
declare that its adoption would be a
slap at Bryan and insist that in Civ.
ing it out for publication, the New
York delegation intended to disper.
age the Nebraska candidate.
Portions of the resolution which
particularly arouse the ire of the
friends of Mr.. Bryan relate to Mr.
Cleveland's record on the question oil
maintaining the integrity of the
courts and finance, the paragraphs
being as follows: He respected the
integrity of our courts and so insist.
ed upon the strict enforcement Of
the law that every honest mas OF
interest might be protected and al
offenders punished, without fear o.
favor.
HE maintained the public credit
in honor, stood firm as a rock in the
defense Of sound principles Of finance
and resisted the dangerous economic
doctrines and procitices left by the
Republican party as a heritage Of
our people
1t was said today by Mayor Dahl
man that these expressions are but
thinly yelled attacks upon Mr.. Bryan
and his well known attitude on ths
question of the anti-injunction PLANK

PLANT PROTECTION.
Ways Of Shielding Them From the Hot
Direct Rays Of the Midday Sun.

If plants are not protected from high
winds and too much sun they will not
flourish, especially In the early stages
of their growth. This is particularly
true of the plants In the vegetable gar

easy and simple methods of providing
them with shade. Empty soap boxes

ROADMAKlNG EXPERIMENT.
Long Island Town to Use Native Stone
From Sound Shore as Foundation.


From Sound Shore as Foundation.
The town board of Riverhead, n. Y,
has decided to make an experiment in
road building, and 1t isn't going to
have the experiment on q crossroad or
in the woods somewhere, but right on
busy part Of Main street, In the heart
of the business section.
At a recent meeting 1t voted to spend
not over $1,000 to rebuild that section
of Main street between Roanoke ave
nue. and the Congregational church, u.s.
Ing native stone gathered from the
sound shore a few miles distant for
the bed Of the road and the usual
crushed trap rock for top dressings.
This road is now a deplorable mud
hole. 1t Is believed the native stone,
which Is Of the proper size without
crushing, will be fully equal to mac
adam material brought from points
distant to Long Island, and If it proves
sufficient for the needs road building in
Riverhead town will be greatly cheap
ened.

connection that under the new dog tax

THE STOCK RAM.
Pedigree and Individual Excellence OF
Vast Importance.

Many Of those who own small focks
only as a side line don't realize the
Importance of buying rams Of good
qualities and pure breeding. 1t is a
shortsighted policy to purchase an in
ferior ram because he can be got for
few dollars less than one that is well
bred and Of Individual excellence.
The line bred ram has the prepo-
tency that stamps his desirable quail
ties on his get. Usually the get OF
the grade lacks uniformity. He is as
likely to transmit some of the unde-
sirable traits of some Of his mongrel
ancestors. No matter how good an in
dividual he may be, his inability to
transmit with certainty his own good
points disQuallfies him.

A comparison of the manner IN
which the bonds of the state have been
handled by the parties, which supports
the declaration of the Republicans
concerning the efficiency with which
they have conducted the business OF
the state, was made by him as follows:
During Governor Hunts regime Ut
1901 and 1902, $1O8,000 in bonds be-
came due. Instead of paying these
bonds or making any arrangement Tor
retiring them in the years preceding,
the administration renewed them.
There was also outstanding 100000 In
deficiency certificates. For this amount
bonds were issued running for twenty
wears This should never have occur
red for the reason that the state
should not bond for deficiencies, or,
IA other words, should not bond Tor
the running expenses of the govern
ment. 1t must pay cash; 1t can only
bond for permanent improvements.
During the six years of the Republi-
can administration we have had $3O4,-

dollar. was paid the very day 1t was
due. f,Aot a bond has been renewed

which was renewed In 1901, and should
