tract his thoughts from his own ugly
problem. He had been having II out
with himself. as he phrased it. And
there had been moments during those
two hours, when he had ground his
teeth and clenched his fists because
OF the futile and furious pain in him.
When he recognized Janet Smith,
by that same Illuminating fash he
recognized that this woman who had
been tricking him was the woman that
he loved. He believed that he had
said his last word to love, but love, aft
er seeming to accept the curt dis
missal. was lightly riding his heart
again. Fooled second time" he
thought with inexpressible bitterness,
recalling his unhappy married life
and the pretty, weak creature who had
caused him such humiliation. Yet with
her there had been no real wrong
doing. only absolute lack OF discretion
and a childish craving for gayety and
adulatlon. Poor child! what a woe

v. A. CLARK TO BUCK
POWDER TRUST
MANUFACTURING COMPANY Is
SOON TO START OPERATIONS
IN CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco, Feb. 21.-Backed by
the interests headed by former Sena-
tor William A. Clark of Montana, a
powder manufacturing company, be-
ginning operations with a capital Of
So, 100000 will soon erect a plant in
one of the bay counties and engage
in active competition with the powder

this business and to erect other plants
as the business requires.
The operations of the company Will
be under the personal direction of Mr..

FOUND IN BOX CAR

San Luis Obispo, Cal, Feb 21.-An
organized plan to smuggle Asiastics
into this country may be unearthed as
result of the discovery of 90 Chi
nese in box car in this city today.
The most peculiar feature of the dis
covery was that the celestiais were IN
a bonded car sealed with the govern.

Algiers, a town near New Orleans,
where it left on Feb 10, to San Fran
cisco Owing to numerous landslides
and Washouts the car was delayed on
the coast division of the Southern Pa

While passing the sealed box car in
the yards, Conductor Page heard
voices in it. In response to a ques

ceived an offer for 50 for a bucket %

CRAZY INDIAN CHIEF
KILLS TWO
PERSONS
UNIDENTIFIED REDSkIN RUNS
AMUCk AT UNION DEPOT
IN CINCINNATI.

Cincinnati, Feb. 21.-With an ear
splitting warwhoop an unidentified
Navajo Indian war chief ran amuck
in the union station here today and
before he could be overpowered he
had fatally stabbed and cut Mrs. Anna
Devord of Huntington, w. Va, and
Max Meyers of Cincinnati and seri-
ously wounded Joseph w. Gordon of
Cambridge, III.
Runs Amuck.
The Indian, with four Sioux war
chiefs from Kansas, had alighted from
crowded Chesapeake & Ohio train,
No. g. AS the passengers alighted
from the train the Indian, with a
warning yell, drew a long dagger and
started through the crowd, slashing
right and left. Mrs. Devord was the
nearest to the Indian, walking up the
platform with child in her arms. Be-
fore she could heed the warning cry
raised by passengers the Indian had
buried the dagger in her back and
siashed her across the body and arms.
Disregarding the insensible form of
his victim the Indian next attacked
Meyers. AS Meyers fell to the sta
tion platform the Indian ran toward
Gordon. AS the Indians blade pen
etrated the clothing of his victim
and entered the flesh, passengers and
station employees who had stood root
ed in their tracks with horror made
a concerted rush on the madman.
Indian Is Subdued.
Male passengers and station en-
ployes hurled themselves on the pros
trate Indian, who struggled desperate
ly The dagger was knocked from his
hand and he was taken in charge by
the police. On the train the Indian,
who had been to Washington to see
the secretary of the interior, was no.
ticed by passengers to be brooding
and sullen.

JAPS Do NOT INTEND
TO FIGHT UNCLE SAM

London, Feb. 21-The newly ap-
pointed Japanese ambassador to Great
Britain, Count Takahira Kato, in an
interview today, said that he saw no
reason why japanese relations with
the United States should not rema n
excellent in the future, despite the
loud talk of a small excited section.
How highly we prize the statesman
like and loyal policy of President
Roosevelt in this connection" said the
cit is hard to say, but,
speaking for my country, l can assure
you that nobody ever conceived such
a mad scheme as fighting with the
United States"

DEMONSTRATION IN
NEBRASKA CITYS SUBURB
BECOMES SERIOUS.
LOSS OF LIFE IS AVOIDED
Killing Of Policeman by Foreigner Is
Cause of Mass Meeting and lncen
diary Speeches, and Riotine and
Pilage Follow Prominent Men
Counsel Murder and Rapine.

Omaha, Feb. 21.-From mid-after-
noon until far into the night, South
Omaha, this citys big suburb. has
been the scene of rioting, murderous
assaults and pillage. More than 80
buildings have been burned, wrecked
or badly damaged and probably
score or persons injured, half that
number seriously. BY heroic work the
police have prevented actual loss of
life. The immediate cause OF the trou
BILE was the killing on Friday night of
Policeman Edward LoWery by John
Masuredes, d Greek, whom the officers
have placed under arrest. Masuredes
was brought to the Douglas county
Jail here at once, and for fear of an
attempt to lynch him he was taken,
Saturday afternoon, to Lincoln and
placed in the penitentiary to await
his preliminary hearing.
On Saturday petition was circu
lated in South omaha and signed by
hundreds of citizens, setting forth
that a number of Greek residents
of the place were undesirable classes,
and calling a mass meeting at the city
hall for Sunday afternoon to discuss
methods of ridding the city of them.
A Mass Meeting.
More than 1000 men attended the
meeting, which was addressed by men
of prominence, including two members
of the state legislature. The speeches
We're calculated to inflame the pas
sions of the more excitable. When the
meeting ended a large portion of the
crowd started out with the intention
of carrying out the suggestion of the
speakers in the most summary man
ner.
Governor Shallenberger was con-
suited and expressed a willingness to
call out troops if necessary No such
demand was made tonight, however.
Fifteen arrests had been made up to
midnight.
Following the mass meeting a wild
mob Of 800 to 1000 men started for the
Greek quarters to avenge the death of
Patrolman Edward Lowery, who was
shot and killed Friday night by a
Greek whom he had placed under ar
rest. Before their thirst for blood had
been satisfied two boys were shot and
at least eight persons had been in
jured by heavy missiles which the
crowd used as weapons, and not less
than 30 buildings were partly demol-
ished. The injured boys are Frank
Sweeney and Joseph Gamble, each
about Is years of age, who received
part Of the contents of a shotgun fired
into the crowd by maddened Greeks.
The other persons injured were four
foreigners, and after their wounds
were dressed they were sent to their
homes.
Mob Violence.
crowd of perhaps 5000 or 1000
quickly gathered to augment the mob
and a general assault was begun on
the homes and business places of the
Greeks. This attack was centered at
Twenty-sixth and Q streets, where is
located the principal Greek quarters.
The maddened crowd began it's work
of destruction by throwing stones and
bricks through the windows of stores
and houses known to be occupied by
the Greeks. In very short time
havoc was made with the fronts Of
these places and the stocks of the
stores were quickly laid waste.

ANGRY MOB TH|RSTS
FOR NEGRO'S
sl
BLOOD
AN UNKNOWN MAN ASSAULTS
WHITE WOMAN IN OTTUMWA
AND MOB FORMS.

OttumWa, Iowa, Feb. 21.--Angered
by the brutal attack by negro upon
Mrs. Charles M. Johnston, the invalid
wife of a travelling salesman, a mob
of 1000 men and boys tonight sur
rounded the Jail thirsty for vengeance
upon the unknown culprit Four ne
groes were locked up as suspects and
John Junkin, negro suspected of the
murder of Clara Rosen two weeks ago
was hustled out of town to avoid the
mob's fury.
Company G of the national guard
was held in the barracks in readiness
for action. Mrs. Johnston was in bed
with her 4-year- old child at o'clock
this morning, when she awoke to find
negro bending over her. Before she
could scream for help the negro
seized her by the throat and began to
choke her. Despite her weakness, and
the result of a recent operation, Mrs
Johnston fought desperately. She tore
herself loose and cried out. At the
time the child screamed. The negro
became alarmed. There was a cur
tain pole. an inch in diameter, which
was used as a window prop within
reach. The negro seized this and beat
the woman until she became uncon-
scious.
Posse Follows Negro.
How long the negro remained is not
known. The cries of the child final
ly aroused the neighbors. They found
Mrs. Johnston lying on the floor un-
conscious By her side was the cur
tain pole stained with blood The news
spread rapidly Soon armed posses
were on the track of the fleeing ne
gro. Members of the citizens guard
were posted in places where riots were
feared. The homes of the negroes
were placed under guard. The city
Jail became the point of attraction for
the excited men who formed the nu-
cleus of the mob. The trail of Mrs
Johnston's assailant was followed by
bloodhounds to deep ravine near
Rutledge camp, three miles from Ot-
tumwa, but was lost. The mines
were searched with the help of the
miners, but the man had disappeared
Other posses of armed men searched
other parts of the country all day
around the jail continued to grow
Threats were made freely against the
negro Junkin and the police became
alarmed for his safety.
Toward night the officers took him
out of the Jail by a rear door. He was
placed in an automobile and was TAX
en- to Chillicothe, 10 miles west of this
city, put aboard a Burlington pas
senger train and taken to Abba, where
he was locked up.
Have Good Description.
The mob contented itself with yell
ing its hate as the first, second and
third suspects were brought into Jail
The police had been provided with a
good description Of the guilty negro
by Mrs. Johnston and after each mar
was brought in they announced to the
| crowd that the man captured had nc
part in the crime. The men of sober
minds in the crowd argued with the
more violent to give the police q
chance first.

CONGRESS STEAMS UP.
FOR LAST
DAYS
WITH END OF SESSION IN SIGHT,
LEGISLATORS START TO
GET BUSY.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Both houses
of congress will begin this week to
crowd on steam for the last squirt of
the present congress. After the close
remain only three days for legislation,
and it is realized that it will be nee
essary to get practically all of the
appropriation bills through both houses
before that time, as most of the re-
naming days will be necessary for the
adjustment of the differences between
probably commence holding night ses-
sions early in the week.
The house will begin the week with
the discussion of the great sundry civ
il bill. 1t is expected that the ques-
ton of the salary of the secretary of
state will again on Tuesday receive
attention in connection with the con-
ference report on the executive, legis-
lative and judicial appropriation bill.
The house will again refuse to yield
on the question of an under-secre-
tary of state and that subject will also
be discussed in connection with the
conference report. 1t is expected that
the general deficiency bill will be
ready for consideration by the house
when the sundry civil bill is disposed
of. The river and harbor bill has al
ready passed the house under suspen-
sion of the rules.
Disposes of BILLS.
Undoubtedly the house will be able
before the close of the session to dis
pose of all the appropriation bills, and
the outlook in the senate is much
brighter than it was a week ago. Dur
ing the past week the senate put be-
hind it the postoffice. the naval the
pension, the army and the Indian bills,
and it will be prepared to go on this
week with the diplomatic and consular,
the agricultural and other appropria-
tion bills. The river and harbor bill
may be talked to death.
The senate WILL on Tuesday, con-
slider and vote on the bill providing
for the e-enlistment of the negro
soldiers who were discharged on ac-
count of the Brownsville riot.

CH|NCH BUG LEADS
 ALL AS GREAT PEST
COSTS FARMERS AND GARDEN FRS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY BY ITS RAvAGEs.

Everyone has at some time or other seen figures which were intended to convey some idea of the destructive ness, and consequent loss in dollars and cents, of various pests which the farmer has to contend with. Accord ing to the Agricultural apartment, the chinch bug (Blissus leucopterus) has been the most destructive of all The cotton boil weeyil, the potato bug, the tobacco worm, the common locust, rust, smut, and innumerable other pests have caused vast damage; but the church bug is the pribe pest of all. It seems to thrive as well as in the regions below sea level, like the semi tropical Imperial valley in south eastern California (that modern rival of the Nile valley where cotton and dates thrive beside alfalfa and bar ley) as in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, or in other localities 5000 feet above sea level. mere are, fortunately, two natural checks to this destructive bug wh ch has laid low it's millions of cartes of grain and
 
 fungus, and the other is plenty of rain during the matching season. Fight ing the pest by fire and kerosene omuls,ons has been successful and crude oil placed in deep furrows aas been eff cacious. One of the best methods of warfare has been to burn off all waste and patches of weeds alorg the roadsides, so that cleanli- ness in farm cultivation will net the di'igent farmer good returns even as cleanliness in the ordinary affairs of life will promote the general hygiene. When it is generally understood that there is real money value in keep ing back yards, fence corners and Hn- cultivated tracts clear of weeds and refuse so that the chinch bugs cannot h bernate safely in them, the ap- pearance of the waste places will be greatly improved.
Bisbee daily review., 1909-12-14


 If the> governors power to thus summarily and arbitrarily block the progress of justice is derived from the states constitution. then the esti- mate of it as crazy document is a just one.
 Tt will be remembered that Gov ernor Haskell was forced to resign as treasurer of the Democratic National committee in the middle of the can paign and that he is even now under indictment for fraud and is by every device known to sharp practitioners re- sisting trial, Taken in connection with his latest undisguised effort to block justice and shield the guilty in the bank case Governor Haskeirs
 record is not one for oklahomars tc be proud of and the numerous scan dals which have cropped out since her admission to the Union are not calculated to win much respect for Oklahoma.
