swore at his wife, then sailed forth to
the toll and strife. and hanging on to
an "L'-train strap, with his face like
threatening weather map, called
Fulton and Hudson base-born knaves.

graves and wished he could have seen
them die; and the baleful CLEAN in his
one good eye took in the frippery torn
and maded, that lined the streets
where hosts had paraded, and where
were the vast and cheering hordes
were now but rows of empty boards;
and he wiped his sweaty, suffering
brow and swore a swear and vowed
a vow, and the whole town echoed his
sad refrain. Never again! Oh. never
again"

GROW BRIGHT FOR
OPENING RESERVATION ROADS

Major Swartzlander. agent and
superintendent upon the Umatilla res
ervation, has been asked by the In
dian bureau to assess the damages
and benefits to result to the allottes
from the opening of the three propos-
ed roads across the reservation. At
this time the major is engaged in
looking up the land through which
the roads are to pass. AS soon as he
has gathered the necessary informa-
tion and passed upon the damages
and benefits he will report to the bu-
reau at Washington.
In speaking upon the subject today
Major Swartzlander said he believed
the damages to allottes from the three
roads would be but light and that in
many cases the benefits to the allottes
would overbalance the loss from land

LONGEVITY ARMY OFFICERS
FIND THEMSELVES IN DEBT

Washington. Oct. 9.-One hundred
and twenty army officers who asked
to draw pay from Uncle Sam for lone
witty service have been surprised in
the last few days to learn that instead
of bein entitled to receiveing extra
pay they are indebted to Uncle Sam.
These officers, during the Spanish
war, served in the places of officers
of higher rank who were temporarily
detained to recruiting or other duty.
They received, through error, the pay
of these higher officers whose posts
they were filling. When they made
application for the longevity pay, the
error was discovered and, as a result
they have been asked to refund TO
the government the amounts they
were overpaid at that time This, in
most cases, is more than the longe-
witty pay which they asked for.

New york, Oct. 9.-William r.
Hearst announced at midnight that
he would accept the nomination for
mayor as rendered at an independent
mass meeting at Cooper Union We'd
nesday night.
Mr.. Hearsts' statement outlining
the conditions upon which he will
accept, is in part as follows:
Whether l am a candidate or not
1 will support the rest of the fusion
ticket nominated in opposition to
Tammany Hall. When the Independ-
ence league committee withdrew from
the fusion conference it declared that
il still stood ready to support a frank
and honest expression of progressive
principles and candidates irrespective
of party. This is your opportunity to
substantiate that declaration. Nomi-
nate me if you so desire with the
greater part of that fusion ticket be-
hind me and I will run.
Fusion Ticket is Good.
'The candidates nominated on the
fusion ticket are worthy of support.
The ticket is already in the field. If
we nominate another ticket both tic
kets may be defeated. If we NOM
mate the fusion ticket Tammany will
be defeated. And if Tammany is de-
feated the citizens will win"
Mr.. Heart also said that his
chances for election would be better
on a straight Independent ticket. but
that he was not considering his per-
conal chances alone, but rather of the
city at large.
In other words he wishes the en-
dorsement of the Independents to en-
able him to head ticket simply by
displacing Otto 7. Barnard, who has
been nominated by the regular re-
publican party and endorsed by the
so ?called fusionists.
