Through some oversight last
week we neglected to mention
the receipt of Volume l of the
Ismay Journal. This is the new
paper at Islnay and is enjoying
an excellent advertising patron
age, Notwithstanding that there
is another paper in that town.
Here's hoping the Journal all

NJ. O. Tracy this week resigned
from the firm Of The Ekalaka
Land & Real Estate Co. Mr.
Tracy finds tina; the amount of
businessTin the Office of U. S.
Commissioner which he has sc
ably handled for the past several
years has increased to such an
extent that he could not spare
the time to any other duties out
side Of that office. The two re-
naming members of the company
will assume entire control and
continue the business.
An exchange when asked the
other day by a subscriber why
the price Of his paper was the
same as it was two years ago re-
piled that the price had lowered
IS per cent although the 81. per
year price was the same then as
it always had been. He said
that two years ago he took tWen-
ty dozen eggs for g years sub
scription and today he only takes
five dozen. Eggs two years prior
were worth 10 cents a dozen and
today sell at 40 cents per dozen.
The subscriber saw the point and
left, afte leaving an or der for 10
years in advance on subscription.
Every small town and village
is possessed Of a knocker of some
kind. Some knock because of
ignorance, some for spite and
others because Of the success of
their neighbors. In either case
his work is despicable and hate
full. We are sorry to acknow-
ledge the presence Of one of these
knockers in our little town, whose
time during the past few weeks
has been devoted mostly in en-
deavoring to cast a black shadow
on several Of our business men.
His subjects, during their res
idence in town, have proved to be
so for above him in their business
ways, etc. as it is possible for one
being one to be above another,
and sooner or later he will find
this fact out. A little more time
spent in his owl affairs and less
in others will help his standing
in the town to greater extent
than the continuing Of his present
work. The existence Ct a knock
err confUtes the therory of the

ZEPPELIN TO REPAIR
CRIPPLED DIRIGIBLE

Osnabreck, Germany, June 3d.
Count Zeppelin, disappointed but not
discouraged, hurried here yesterday
to superintendent the salvage of his
latest aerial model, the great airship
Deutchland, which came to grief in
hands less experienced than his yes
terday.
The count, who will be 72 years of
age on Friday of next week, has an
engagement for the near future to fly
from Friedrichshafen to Vienna and
exhibit his invention. to Emperor
Francis Joseph and he proposes to
make good his promise.
The prospects for the early resump'
ton Of the passenger service, how
ever, are not bright. The airship
company announces that the accident
will necessitate a suspension of sew
eral months of the advertised excur-
sions, but also that it proposes to re-
new this service at the earliest posi-

Special to The 1'etcS.
Vicksburg, Miss, June 30.-The
county is being secured today for
Will Johnson, young negro, wanted
for an attempted criminal assault on
Mrs. John Rollison, the attractive
young wife of a well-known Warren
county farmer who lives thirteen
miles from town.
Last night about IL o'clock there
was lodged in Jail here a negro sus-
pect The negro claims to be Fred
Moses, and it Is probable that he is
not the man wanted. However, the
fellow had a narrow escape from be-
ing lynched. He was caught near the
Cedars last night, and would doubtless
have been taken aawy from his cap
tors and strung up, such is the state
of feeling at present, but for the time
ly arrival of a southbound freight
train, on which the negro was carried
to Port Gibson.
There the negro and his captors
boarded northbound passenger train,
and arrived here about 1890 o'clock.
Mrs. Rollison was at home alone
when the assault was attempted, her
husband being in town. Johnson, the
negro, had worked for Rollison about
year and a half He seized Mrs.
Rollison and attempted to throw her
down, but she fought valiantly and
finally broke loose from her assailant,
and ran out Of the house screaming
for aid. Johnson then escaped. Sher-
if Kelly was at once telephoned and
sent his bloodhounds on the TRAIL but
without results.

PATTERSON RETIRES
FROM DENVER times
(By Union Associated Press.)

10y OnIon ASSoCidteo tFeSS.)
Denver, Colo, June 30.-Today' s
issue of the Denver Evening Times
will be the last under the editorial
management of former United States
Senator T. M. Patterson. The prop
erty will be taken over tomorrow by
Jared Newell Hustled, Colorado CAPT.
talist. Senator Patterson will con-
tinue as editor and owner of the
Rocky Mountain News, a morning
newspaper.
Under the new ownership, the
Times will be edited by Hugh O'Neil,
one of the best known newspaper men
in the Rocky Mountain district. Wal
lace p. Doty, for years business man
ager of the Denver Post, will be the
business manager of the recognized
Evening Times.
An entire new plant of presses,
linotype machines and other machin-
cry will be installed by the Times,
which under Patterson's ownership
was printed at the News plant
Senator Patterson gives the follow
ing reasons for selling the Times:
81 consider that the battle between
the people and the interest here in
Denver has been practically won by
the people. With the defeat of the
water franchise and the adoption of
the charter amendments Denver has
been made free city, and the most
offensive phase of the rule of the cor
poration bosses has been ended If
the people will use the recall and
initiative and referendum wisely and
fearlessly they can enforce a cleaner,
more economical, and at the same
time more efficient administration of
Denver's affairs than they have en-
joyed for many years.
II found the exacting duties of two
daily newspapers more than a man Of
my years should burden himself with.
Mr.. Hustled wanted The Times, and
he agreed to pay the price I named.
Wherefore with the battle of the peo-
pie won, the sale giving me the oppor-
tunity to concentrate my best energies
on the News-which is my first love
in the newspaper world, anyway
parted with It,"

.INSURGENT SPIRIT
in old VERMONT
Was Manifested When Nearly 700
Delegates Gathered at the State
Convention at Montpelier,
NV Union Associated Press.)

Montpelier, VT, June 30.-That the
spirit of insurgency has spread even
among the rock-ribbed Republicans OF
Vermont, was evident this morning
when the nearly 700 delegates to the
G. o. P. state convention met to form
ulate a platform and nominate COVER
nor. secretary of state and other Off
ces.
It appears that the spirit in Vermont
is of a piece with that of insurgency
which caused the election of Foss in
Massachusetts and compelled the re-
tirement of Senator Hale in Maine.
The first situation is peculiarly in
teresting from the fact that Fletcher
d. Proctor, son of the late senator, a
well known figure in Washington for
many years, is bent on ascending to
the senatorship. 1t is declared that
Proctor already is laying plans to sue
coed Senator Page.
1t appears that since the death OF
his father. Fletcher D. Proctor, who
formerly was governor, has been try
ing to keep together the machine his
father controlled. On the death OF
senator Proctor, Page was elected
without opposition of the Proctor ele
ment. It was the general understand
ing that Fletcher D. Proctor would
step in when Page retired from the
senate.
The Proctor element has not for
gotten this understanding. Four can
didates are in the field for the COVER
norship and the ambitions of Fletcher
D. Proctor have bearing on the sit
uation inasmuch as the successful can
didate must pledge himself to appoint
Fletcher D. Proctor to the senate il
Senator Page retires.
The friends of senator Page do mo-
like the attitude of Mr.. Proctor, but
they are not in position to object. Sc
far as the reelection of Senator Page
is concerned, there is no question
about it.
