! Black Smoke A Waste.

Black smoke is a waste as well
as a nuisance. In the new steel
capitol of Gary, where economy
and prevention OF waste is the
first principle of success, the
smoke from the furnace stacks
furnishes sufficient gas to supply
all needed power for the plant.
The pillar of smoke is the sign
Of industrial waste, rather than
to profit making activity. There
is value in its blackness If prop
erly utilized Boston Herald.

composed mostly of young men and boys.
Each member of the organization takes
an oath that he will do as he d-m
pleases: that he will stand by his fell
Iow-members when they are in trouble,
and swear lies for them to get them out
if necessary.
"Our experience with many witnesses
had before us cOnvinces us of the tend
ency with which this oath is observed
by the memb bers of this unusual organi-
zation. Such an organization and such
a disposition among young men and
boys can lead ultimately to higher and
more serious crimes.
SIT is significant i'm this same connect
ion that many witnesses who have ap
peared before us have been afraid to
tell of violations of the law within their
knowledge, for fear of being assassinated
for doing so. Evidence of threats on
the part of law-breakers, that any man
that reports to the grand jury will be
killed outright, are not wanting. We
have pursued these matters as best we
could, and, we believe, have done the
best we could at this time in the direct
ion of ferreting out crimes and present
ing indictments against offenders. 1t is
to be hoped that by the time Of the
meeting of our next grand .ury more
desirable and peaceable state Of affairs
will be found.
"During our sitting we have had the
assistance of diligent, competent, eff
cient and faithful bailiff, J. E. Sharp.
We thank him for his services.
eve desire in this connection to-
thank all sfficers for their promptness
in executing our processes and for at
tention to our other orders. needs and
wants. We desire further to thank
your honor for the very able, clear,
strong and impressive charge delivered
to us at the beginning of our services as
grand jurors. We want to thank the
district attorney for kindnesses shown !

Money In Elections.

Judge Neal, of the superior
of Wilmington, N. c., put the
emphasis in the right place when,
in charging a grand jury the
other day. he declared that the
corrupt use of money IN elections
was one of the worst evils with
which a civilized people could
contend.
He called attention to the
wholesale deabuchery OF the bali
lot which had characterized many
national and local elections. He
instanced cases in his own state
in which votes had been sold in
open market for as much as $40.
a piece, and cited one which q
father and five sons had sold the
votes of the family for the lump
sum of $18, or 50 q head. He de-
clared that the man who would
sell his vote was no better than
q dog, and that the man who
would buy a vote would sell his
own if q high enough price was
offered.
These are the sharp words. but
they do not hit very wide OF the
mark.-Richmond Times-Dis-

The Battle Flag Carried
By jeff Davis Regiment.
(Clarion-Ledger, May 81


The magnificent white silk
flag that foated over the victori-
Gus American army at the battle
of Buena Vista which was carrl-
ed by the First Mississippi regi-
ment, a command made famous
under the leadership of Jeffer-
son Davis and Alexander K. Nc
Clurg, is at last the property of
the Department of Archives and
History, and IN short while will
be placed in the Hall of Fame.
The flag was made by the wo.
men of Columbus, Miss, and
presented by Miss Blewitt, the
daughter, of Major Thomas Blew
lit, to Col. McClung, then captain
of the "Tombigbee Volunteers"
and after the arrival of the COM
pany at Vicksburg, was made a
lieutendant colonel of the First
Mississippi. When the flag was
presented, and after having made
a felicitous rejoinder, expressing
thanks of company. Capt. Nc Clu.
ng handed the flag to Color Bearer
George w. Campeil, who carried
it all through the war with Mex
leo, and who was waving it on
the point of his bayouet, the
pole having been shot to pieces,
when Col. Davis, in rallying the
Second Indiana, cried out Fall
in behind the First Mississippi. "
At the close of the hostilities
Campbell settled at Brennan,
Texas, and there the old flag
was found by the Department of
History OF Mississippi. the prop
erty of Mrs. Sarita Tamplet, a
daughter of Cambells. It was
Mrs. T. R. Henderson, of Green
wood, daughter of Senator
George, who was himself a brave
soldier in Jefferson Davis regi-
ment in the Mexican war, who
first suggested to the Daughters
of the Confederacy that the flag
be purchased and preserved by
the State Of Mississippi. The
owner demanded $500 for the
trophy. and in the course of time
she got it through the work of
the Daughters of Confederacy.
It is still in a fine state of pres
ervation, but is pierced with
several bullet and bayonet holes,
evidence of the fact that the
troops who followed 1t were in a
hot place on some occasion.

to a report circulated in this

ed council in this and other cities
to devise means of merging
the New York Central lines into
one $1,000, 100000 corporation
with a central management and

We are not prepared to say
that Mr.. Hartman is correct. It
would save expense and the rule
that should govern and control
in private and individual busi-
ness matters ought to be given
in public and corporations.
Railroads are rolled on all sides
and yet people put their money
in them and get less out of them
per capita than any other indus
try. AS q general rule people
know more about rail roads than
men who conduct them. In fact,
men who have been failures
through life from a business
stand point make the best rail
road commissioners There is
nothing like experience.

Owing to the busy season pre-
ceeding Commencement occas-
sions only a. business meeting of
the Union will be held Monday
at four O'Clock at the residence
of Mrs. l.. B. Camp. 1
Miss Louise e. HolIister was in Mis-
sissippi fourteen weeks. During that
time ten new unions were organized,
and membership in the already existing
unions materially increased. This re-
, suit followed wherever careful prepar-
alton had been made. for the occasion.
Miss HOLSTERS work has brought out
unstinted praise for its thoroughness
as well as it's attractivenees. Every
where the dues for the new unions were
paid into the local and State treasures
before she left them, and such work was
inaugurated as gave the union at once
something to do. The result has been
that most or the new ones report an in
crease in membership and something
going on; and they write to the General
Officers, sure indication OF earnest
ness. -'.4 - r ssft7. F''sa"3N -

|of that president orsmember designated
by the local union that gets the largest
number of new paid members during
the present year, up to the time OF

is that unions work especially for life

West Virginia is trying to secure fifty

A BIRTHDAY WISH.
Celia Richmond
For Mrs. Harriet B. Kells, April 10. 1909.
Thou art gift of God to me, my friend.
To him / will in gratitude commend
Thy life-that whatsoever may befall
Thine outward being, He be all in all;
That neither grief, For joy, nor loss,
nor gain
May bring excess of Joy pain.
But in a holy calm thou mayest move
To fullest knowledge of his faithful
Thy soul-that day by day His light
may glow
Within its depths, and other souls may
The peace the love of Christ can bring
To those who deem the soul a Godlike
thing.
Thy life-thy soul-and thee l thus
commend
To God whose gifts thou art to me, my
friend

I A jewish Rabbi Scores
the Modern Stage.

Rabbi Wise, in an address last
night to a large audience in Gin
ton Hall, attacked the stage and
the managers, saying he wished
there were fewer Jews to blame
for the conditions prevailing. Il
indict the theaters as they are
today" he remarked. Il don't
care if every manager is Jew
they are all heathen." He said:
The stage ought to be an up
lifting agency. IL is far from it.
1t makes for degradation, for abso-
lutte moral rotteness. wish to God
our skirts were clean, and that
there fewer Jews were to blame.
The managers seem to vie with
one another in producing the
most degraded things and they
insult US by implying that we
want such stuff, and that you
and I don't want to see a clean
play.
indict the theaters as they
are today. l don't care if every
manager is Jew, they are all
heathens. l iudict those who
are pandering to vice, whether
Jew or Christian. 1t is the de-
bacement of the nation. And it
will remains so until you say,
we will not go near your thea
ters.' Is not our moral life in
suited by what we see on the
stage today?
Il wish l could say to you
that the purifying agency is to
be the Church, but it can do moth
ing. Suppose the Church could
raise the moral level. Does it
try with that terrible earnest
ness that is necessary, as it tries
to build up its membership? We
want the Church and the syna-
gogue to work in the direction
of right living. l say it is not
gague, or a safety value, but
fuel to give moral power. The
synagogue must have larger
share in the moral bettering of
lives. [ believe the Jewish name
is synonymous with righteous
ness, and am sorry that SO many
are disloyal to the Jewish ideal.
"There is one thing to be done.
We have got to increase our NOR
al assets. There is too much of
penal law and too little moral
law. I want the moral principle
applied. We honor not honor
but success. We haye but little
honor for the man who is not
rich. We've got to change our
moral judgement of men. You
can't prevent man from buy
ing an automobile or dukelet
for his daughter. but we can Inn
it our respect for him, even for a
man who has libraries to give a.
way. We can limit the purchas-
ing power of money.
do you think the millionaire
would commit every crime on
the calender if he thought his
millions would not protect him?
He knows he is safe If he sue
ceeds. With the power that
shook Messina TO it's depths. we
can shake the world. If we fail
we can at least say We tried. y

HE STILL OWNS CONSIDERA-

Henry Middleton, now in the shin
gle business at Baker, Skagit county
is in the city. Mr. Middleton was for
merly one of the best known men in
the county. For years he run a saw
mill at Chiwaukum and was the
democratic opponent for county sher-
iff against Frank Keller. Later he
acquired considerable property here,
and still owns a six acre tract near
the Lewis-Clark school, and also
owns an acre close in. He came to
reside here last spring. but on &C
count of a serious illness of his son,
removed again to the Sound. The
son is only now recovering, and Mr.
Middleton is undecided whether to
again come to Wenatchee to take up
permanent residence, or sell off his
property here.

CRAZY PLUMBER
RUNS AMUCK
(By Associated Press.

Aurora, ILL.,, April S.-John An

become affected, today armed him

three bombs, which he fastened to
his person. He started out to kill
the inhabitants of the city block in
which he said malicious gossip con-
cerning himself had circulated. He
killed one woman, narrowly missed

persons to whom he had announced
his intentions That his already
weakened mind had completely given
ed, women and children fled to Gel
lars and attics, as the maniac walked
along the street scrutinizing houses
as if undecided wher to begin.
The first stop of Anderson was at
the home of Mrs John McVicker,
probably his oldest and best friend.
With pistol in each hand Anderson
began firing. The first bullet grazed
McVicker's scalp. Mrs. McVicker ran
toward the kitchen where the chill
dren were playing. She received a
bullet in the heart and fell dead on
the threshold.
Anderson then went to the home of
John Belford, where Mrs. Belford
was shot twice but Anderson paid
no attention to her mother. BY this
time the neighborhood was aroused.
Anderson went to the window and
peered into the street, then returned
to the center of the room and blew
off his own head.

Itinerant buggy venders, the
Spaulding company, who travel
through the county for the purpose
of relieving the farmers of their
extra cash, say they are going to
fight rather than pay taxes on their
carload of buggies, now being un-
loaded. On arrival of their car they
were waited upon by the county as
SCISSOR, but have refused to pay their
share of the coin which takes to
keep the government going.
They expect to ship in more cars
later. The text of the state law is
plain in the matter in reference to
these peddlers, and if they expect
to scrap the county it is believed
that they will have very interest

Sale of Town Lots on Wenatchee- Wat
erville- Mansfield Branch Soon to Be
Held---Sale Will Be Latter Part of
This Month---Expect to Make Good
Towns.

Mansfield is located one and one
half miles southwest of the present
postoffice of Mansfield, a distance of
62 miles from Columbia Siding, this
will be the terminal of the new
branch. From information received
it is probable that all trains will run
there. All trains on the new branch
will leave from Wenatchee and that
the new line will be known as We
natchee-Mansfield branch.
Concerning the sale of lots in the
townsite, Guy Grove, who has charge
of the townsite work on the line, and
who has been in the city for some
weeks, to World reporter said:
''It has not been the policy to ask
unreasonable figures for the sake of
unloading at big prices. We don't
wish to have four merchants where
three only are necessary, we do not
want two blacksmith shops where
only one is needed. Rather, we pre-
fer to sell our townsites at reason
able figures and secure a bunch of
citizens who will prosper.
