ing the midnight hours of Saturday
Lewis Miller met with Il tragic death
on the railroad tracks near the stock
yards n Sanborn. and the only evi-
dence of the terrible affair was the
finding of the lifeless body. the head
having been completely severed from

cred by one of the train crew OF a

lage ut about six O'Clock Sunday morn

Suspicious of Foul Play.
1t is understood considerable sus-
picion of foul play is attached TO The
affair, and on Monday evening fully
a dozen citizens of Sanborn were given
an opportunity To tell To the anthori-
ties what they knew, ii anything, that

Young Aliller's actions during the day
previous to his tragic ending were ac
counted for up to about Halo O'Clock

railroad yards at such late hour of
night.

FOR THE FIRST TIME.

BrOcltton, Mass, March 23.-The ma.
tional political weathercock turned
Democratward in Massachusetts when
the Old Colony section, one of the Re-
publican strongholds of the state.
placed Eugene N Foss OF Boston, one
of the country's leading opponents of
reciprocity with Canada, in the con-
gressional seat of the late William c..
Lowering. Mr.. Foss accomplished
what was regarded as almost a politi-
cal miracle, turning a Republican plu'
rality of 14,250 into a Democratic vic.
tory Of $40 The vote was:
Eugene n. FOss, Boston. DEM, A.
$50; William r. buchanan, BrocktOn,
Rep, 9,340
1t was the most overwhelming de-
feat that the Republicans have met in
Massachusetts since Governor Bates
was overthrown by William l.. Doug
las s.; Yes az.
The result is considered of more
than statewide Importance, for Mr..
Foss stumped the Fourteenth district
on national questions and the people
backed him up with a whoOp.
1t was the first contest to be de-
Aldrch tariff bill became operative,
and had peculiar interest OH that
account Mr. FOss, who has figured
in several campaigns, first as Repub
lican and latterly as Democrat. with
moderate protectiOnist leanings, is
well known in the Northern states
and in Canada as a champion of Cana
dian reciprocity, an issue which led
him to leave the Republican party last
year and become the Democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor. He
failed by only 5000 votes to carry th=
state at that time.
Blamed Tariff Bill.
Another subject which was dis
cussed in the campaign was the high
cost of living. The Democratic cam
paigners charged the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill and the failure of the Re-
publican party to properly supervise
the trusts with being mainly respon-
sible for the high cost of living. This
attack was met by Senator Henry Ca
bot Lodge.
Mr.. Foss, in replying, argued against
Mr.. Lodges allegation that the cost
of provisions is due to a worldwide
upward price movement
The Fourteenth district has been
the most consistently Republican dis
trict in Massachusetts, having never
before elected a Democrat to congress.
Congressman Lowering carried the dis
trict in 1908 by the enormous plural
ity of 14,250 and it appeared at the
time of Congressman Coverings death
last winter that man canvassing I'M
der Democratic cOlors would have no
hope whatever
The remarkable shift of votes is
difficult to analyZe. The Republican
leaders admit that their party in the
district was divided, partly due to the
failure of Judge Robert o. Harris to
win the nomination in the primaries.
Judge Harris took no part in the cam
paign, but many of his friends, to-
gether with other dissatisfied Repub.
licans, worked to defeat Mr.. Blu
chanan.
The BrOcktOn man was further
handicapped by theory that Mr.. Foss
was as good a Republican as himself
and it is true that Mr. FOSS' prom
inence in the Republican party pre-
vious to last year brought many sup
oorters to his standard.
Congressman-elect FOss is a prom
inent manufacturer banker and cap
italiSt of Boston. He is brother of
Congressman Foss of Illinois.

TOM LYNCH'S IDEA OF THE
POPULAR UMPIRE.

"The popular umpire is the
one who walks on the field.
brushes off the plate. calls the
captains to him and gets their
batting lists, then starts the
game" says Tom Lynch.
THE umpire who tries to keep
the players in good humOr by
kidding them always gets in
bad. And it's the men on the
benches who howl that make
the umpire sick of his job"
