COUNCILMAM'S BABES
RUN OVER

Run down by an unmanageable
horse, when about to mount car
at the corner of Sprague and Wall
this morning, Councilman M. B..
Watkins two children, Gordon,
aged 6 and Mildred, aged 4, were
thrown to the street and injured.
Mrs. Watkins was just in front
of her children, when the horse,
driven to light buggy by a wo-
man, pranced past, knocking both
little ones over. After getting her
horse under control, the woman
came back to see how badly the
children had been injured, and
apologized for the accident. Mrs.
Watkins and her children were
badly frightened by the mishap,
but neither of the children were
seriously injured.

we're grilling on cross-examination

his points were shaken, in regard

was hearsay, his story in the main
was substantiated.

Judge Hinkle was evidently nettled
and told Attorney Tustin to sit
down, that there was nothing be.
fore the court.
W. F. Spellman, a clerk in the
front part of Durkin's Howard
street place, was the next witness
for the defense and had not got
through with the grilling being
given him by Prosecutor Pugh
when the court adjourned. Spell
man testified to various actions on
the part of Joe Gauvette before the
murder that made him form the
belief that the prisoner was insane

Nearly all of yesterday after
Moons hearing was given over to
the introduction of testimony con-
corning the confession made by
Gauvette to Mr.. Pugh and police
officers the day after the crime.
The confession was detailed by
Captain Coverly, Deputy Sheriff
Sweat, Sergeant d. ID. McPhee and
Detective Alex Mcdonald, and had
been secured from Gauvette after
two applications of the sweating
process. The most thrilling nara

room breathless during it's recital.
The written confession, taken In
shorthand by Stenographer Brill,
was not read because of the alb

AFTER KRAMER's SCALP.

The republican county convention,
called to meet in Columbus, Monday,
July rs, will elect delegates to the
state convention and select . county
committee.
There is every indication of con-
test between the Post and anti Post
factions over the selection of the com.
mittee. The Post faction is hostile to
the reappointment Of Carl Kramer as
postmaster. Charges of pernicious
political activity and various other
alleged offenses have been fled against
him. Mr.. Kramer does not deny that
he has worked in the interests of the
republican party; he pleads guilty to
the charge of training with what is
known as the Taft crowd in Platte
county; he also pleads guilty to the
charge that he is friend Of Senator
Burkett, and of having been an active
and energetic supporter of the princi.
Piles of the republican party for many
years. He does not deny the fact that
he has stood for his party candidates
when some Of the men who are now
after his official scalp were making
populist speeches and voting the pop
ulist ticket.
Every charge made against Mr..
Kramer by the Post faction rejecting
upon the duties and responsibilities of
his Office, has been investigated and
found to be untrue.
Regardless Of politics, the people Of
Columbus are satisfied with Mr.. Kra-
mer as public official, and if the
selection of u postmaster were left to q
vote of the people of Columbus, Mr..
Kramer would be the choice of the
people by a large majority. 1t is doubt
full if twenty-five men could be found
in Columbus who would sign petition
asking for Mr.. Kramer's removal on
the ground of incompetency or neglect
Of duty, and every fair-minded man in
in the city has a right to feel indig.
nant over the treatment that our post
master has been subjected to by
little faction of cheap politicians whose
only desire in securing Mr.. Kramer's
removal is to give one of their number
an opportunity to get his job.

Virtues Of Orange Sandwich.

IF only l had known sooner about
that little trick of the orange sand
wich for giving castor oil to children,
how many awful struggles both the
baby and l would have been saved"
said a mother who had been told by
the doctor to give her baby this un-
palatable medicine
The orange sandwich is simply q
small quantity of orange juice put
into a spoon with the needed amount
of oil added and over that enough
orange juice to cover the oil. This is
an excellent method for taking either
castor or olive oil. 1t has been recon.
mended several times, but is such q
really valuable discovery for mothers
that it is repeated for the benefit of
the few who have not tried it and
who still look forward to a scene
every time such a dose must be given.
