has filed suit for S1.0O0,OO0 damages
against Theodore Roosevelt and others,
enforced a demand for money with
physical violence at the United States
Mortgage and Trust company, 80 Ce-

refused she attacked Calvert Brewer,
first vice president, and Carl G. Ras-
mus, second vice president, with her
fists, knocking both of them down.
Neither of them offered resistance.
Other officers of the trust company
closed in on Mrs. Won Claussen, who
struck at several of them, but missed.
When she saw herself hemmed in she
darted for tie door, ran across the
sidewalk and got into a taXicab, which
took her uptown.
Mrs. Won Claussen is the grand,
daughter of Matthew Byrnes, who died
leaving an estate of $1,O00,000 or more.
Included in ii is the Hotel Lorraine.

claims $500 and that the claim had
been disputed by the trust company.

GREASY CALLED DOWN
BY STATE CHANGERS
Members Protest Against His
Working Order For Politics.
Especial Correspondence.
Harrisburg, Sept. 6.


A storm of protests has come in
from every section of the state against
the action of William T. Greasy in
using his Official position as head OF
the State Grange to promote his pc
culiar political interests and ambitions
to the detriment of the order.
Greasy, who is still smarting under
the defeat administered to him at the
primary election when he ran for the
Democratic nomination for state sena.
tor in Columbia county, is trying to
get satisfaction from his Democratic
and Republican opponents by support.
ing William II. Berry for governor
Berry and he have worked together in
Democratic politics. Both stood by
Bran to the end, and Greasy went to
Allentown to try and have Berry made
the Democratic nominee.
Having failed in this, he foppe
over to the Keystone Party and W.
one of the most active spirits IN the
Keystone Party convention in support
Of Berry, and with Bonniwell and otL
er well known Bryanite DemCCrEt.
succeeded in defeating the element ii
the Keystone Party that favored tn
rouinEtion of an Independent RepuD
licau for governor.
Greasy has since been active in help
ing to manage Berry's campaign, an
his most effective work is being done
through the organ of the State Gram
known as the Grange News. AS wortL J
master of the grange, Greasy has
charge Of this publication.
While it is conceded that Mr.. Creo So
has a right TO vote for whom he pleas
es and to work for his election, it i:
contended that he has no right to uS'
the organ of the grange, its officia
publication, TO advance factional o.
personal Interests or to espouse tbs
cause of any political party.
Under the constitution of the grang,
officers and others are forbidden Il
interfere with the political or religious
views of any of the members, and NJ
official high or low, has heretofor,
been permitted TO take advantage o
member in political or religious mat
ters.
Under the editorial direction o
Greasy the State Grange News ha

has been diverted from its logical worl
of educating the members and other
regarding matters of special interes
TO farmers and affiliated interests, an
has been made the political mouth
piece OF a defeated Democratic politi
clan who seeks to line up the mem
bers of the grange at the coming cleo
tion so as to serve his own purposes.
Included in the membership of tn
grange are Republicans. Democrat
and Prohibitionists, who purpose I
support the nominees OF their respeC
tive parties. They insist that Cheas
shall cease to use the Grange New
for political purposes.
Greasy got a severe setback whe
he sought to have the committee o
legislation Of the grange declar
against both Republican and Demo
cratic parties and for Berry. He &c

greatly chagrined at the defeat OF hi
scheme. Influential Grangers insis
that Creas. must quit his politics

lazy and listless, to have no appetite, to
sleep badly just sick enough to feel rest

enough to take to bed or call doctor, but
just sick enough to not know what to do.

these symptoms are all caused by the stom-

The Ever Active Brain.

The question. Does the brain ever
rest?" would seem to be answerable
only In the negative. Unconscious
cerebration appears to be a necessary
concomitant of the powers of intellect,
and during sleep. whether we remem-
ber 1t or not. we are always dream
ing. OF course, during waking time
we are perpetually thinking, thinking,
thinking-not always logically and de-
liberately. but. all the same. thinking.
Dream Is the thought Of the sleep
time, when reason Is out Of the game,
and the fancy. or imagination, has the
reins, with nothing to hold her back.
We take many trip under her guild
ance that we are unable to recall when
she has resigned the reins into the
hands of reason. Awake or asleep, we
are always busy. The mind never
rests.-New York American.

Newport Il. l.. Sept. THE four
teenth annual Newport horse show
closed with a decided victory for the
stable of George Watson of Madison,
y. j., over Alfred G. Vanderbilt's Oak
land farm entries. The clash between
these stables was the feature of the
show this year. They came together
In about every important class, and
each scored many victories.
The Watson horses were the largest
winners as far as rank is concerned,
for they captured ten firsts against
eight by Vanderbilt, while in the
championship classes, which were a
feature of the show, the Watson horses
took four against one for Vanderbilt
Two of the championships captured
by Watson's Florham farm horses
were in direct competition with the
Oakland farm entries, while the cham
pionship taken by the latter was taken
in competition with a Watson entry.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was, however, the lar
gest ribbon winner of the show, he
taking in all thirty-three against twen-
ty-seven for Watson.

DRIVES OFF CRANK
Roosevelt RuSheS Upon Dis
turber at Fargo.
MYSTERIOUS MAN DISAPPEARS
While Addressing North Dakota Labor
Day Crowd an Unknown Intruder
Causes Unpleasant Interruption.
Colonel Hustles Him off.

Fargo, ~ D., Sept. 6.-Fargo is today
still talking about the quick. effective
measures adopted by Colonel Roosevelt
in dealing with the crank who, it is
suspected by some, may have HAD
thoughts of violence.
The crank, a rough, dirty looking
man, wearing a battered derby hat
and with two days growth of beard
on his face, jammed his way through
the crowd at Island park, where Mr..
Roosevelt spoke. and demanded an au-
dience. II was just at the conclusion
of the cOloners speech to the laboring
men of the west. On the platform
from which Mr.. Roosevelt had spoken
were fully 1900 persons. They didn't
know what it all meant
i've question to ask" yelled the
man, as he pressed closer to the colo
mel. Il want to speak to you"
Colonel Roosevelt, thinking that the
stranger was laboring man who
wished to make himself clear on some
point in the address, asked him what
he wanted.
"Who is paying for this trip of
yoursY' the stranger cried. who's
paying for it?"
The colonel was very angry then
and he glared fiercely.
THAT is a very impertinent ques-
ton" he replied. Il don't mind tell
ing you, however, that the Outlook
Magazine, with which am connected.
is paying for it,"
The rough intruder stepped closer to
Colonel Roosevelt, while the crowd
stood and gaped. There were no po-
licemen near.
It's lie, tell you, lie," the man
shouted. The nation Is paying for it.
The country is doing it"
Tho colonel saw in a flash that the
man was a crank and probably a de
mented Socialist. He rushed toward
him, grabbed the mans right arm and
jerked it upward, wrenching it as he
did so. He pushed the intruder back
from him i'll no gentle manner and
continued to push him so that the man
dropped to the ground. The man dis
appeared in the crush before an officer
hove in sight.
After this incident there was talk
about an attempted assassination, but
it is unfounded so far as anybody
knows Colonel Roosevelt himself is
not deeply disturbed over the occur
renee, although he was more excited
than most Of the crowd had any idea
of.
The colonel said before he left for
st. Paul that he was not taking any
chances with this type Of man. The
stranger whose name and place of
abode were not secured, was man OF
sallow complexion and sunken cheeks.
He was the type of unkempt anarchiSj
that is portrayed in picture books. The
absence of the collar and necktie, the
h dirty black suit and the derby hat
completed the called for description.
His manner was impudent and defiant.
Mr.. Roosevelt showed clearly TO those
who stood in proximity to him that he
is strong and energetic. He grasped
the mans arm fiercely enough to
break it if he cared to. He had learned
long ago, he said. that If you get an
-assailant's right arm he cant shoot
very easily. When the colonel forced
his entire weight upon the stranger
there was nothing to 1t. So far as
Colonel Roosevelt knows the man was
unarmed
