 Sheriff Sidney B.

 The high sheriff may we'll rue the inspiration that caused him to turn his brood loose on the occasion of the last senatorial fight in which the part he played is held widely by the friends of Congressman E. J. Hill to have turned the balance of defeat against the latter

 There is now another important fea- ture of the situation. Even should the sheriff be able to force his re-nomina- tion, it not necessarily follows that he will be reelected. Such a situation means that a strong Democrat will have one of the chances of his life time.

On December 30th. the citizens of San Francisco voted 31AS5 to 11,694 to municipalize the Geary street traction line.

President Kirby of the National As sociation of Manufacturers is not pleased with the "Moon Administra- ton bill''. relative to the injunctive process. He says:
 If enacted into law. it would seri- ously cripple the power of the courts in the matter of, granting injunctive protection in cases of labor strikes where irreparable damage is imminent And althonrh the provisions of the bill are not confined to labor disputes. but are applicable to all the various forms and usages of the injunctive> process, it can serve no possible good purpose, fs not needed nor wanted, and at best is but a recognition of the alleged jus tice of the claim of certain union labor leaders for anti-iniunction leg fslation that will remove from the courts the power to afford employers of labor the only protection they have against the lawless methods of labor unions in enforcing demands for which they fnaugurate strikes.
 Mir Kirby asserts positively that the National Republican platform "did not promise the restrictions sought to be placed upon the courts by the pro visions of the Moon bill".. but did pledge the party to lever insist that their (the courts) power to enforce their process and protect life. liberty and property shall be preserved invio- late"
 The Taft Administration appears to be getting into hot water'' all around. It Is but a perfunctory support, if any, which it Is receiving in either Senate or House from the Insurgents. and the Regulars are far from enthusiastic; the high Protectionists are disgruntled with the Presidents Tariff board which may direct an X ray into the dark and hidden mysteries of the tar if. and now the National Association of Manufacturers shows decided symp- toms of characterization
 And over all looms menacingly the possibility of Roosevelt rediviyus, The M-President carries his ear too near the ground to err as to public sentiment; he cannot but be aware that the Taft Administration has not proved a success.
 If he needed other proof to such ef- feet, he would find it in the apparently concerted plan of the regular Republi- can organs to convince the public of the Presidents wisdom. good faith, etc. by iterating and reiterating al- most daily assertions of that charac- ter.

The purchase of the Danbury & Bethel street railway by interests which control the charter of the pro- posed Bridgeport & Danbury railway, may or may not be intended to result in the construction of the line. The road would practically parallel the Berkshire division of the steam road from Bridgeport to Newtown-that is. 1t would not open up new territory, and would be merely a competitor Of the steam road. whether such com petition Is needed. Is a matter which every man may decide for himself. When the charter was obtained from the Legislature, 1t was quite generally regarded as aimed at the treasury Of the N. T., N. H. & H. road; possibly, the change of ownership has not al- tered it's character.
 Thers ts in existence another char ter for a Bridgeport line, which would open up new territory and would not be a direct competi- tor with the steam road. as it would traverse the centxe of the county about midway between the Berkshire and Danbury & Norwalk divisions of the steam road. This charter was orig fnally held by Allan W. Paige. but is said to have been acquired by the steam road when 1t took over the lines of the trolley company A line built under this charter would benefit Bridgeport much more than would the other proposed line It would also be a very material benefit to the interior towns traversed. which are rapidly be- coming favordte sections for summer residents.
 Construction of this line would be a very effectual checkmate for the other.

LAST FOR TAFT.
Before Moving the National Capital to
Beverly, Mass.

Washington, June 2S-President
Taft's last day in Washington prior TO
his departure for Beverly was a busy
one up to the hour of his leaving for
the summer capital late this afternoon.
Many congressional callers and confer
ences occupied the time before the as
sembling of the cabinet for the last
regular meeting in this city until fall.
Western senators interested in the 30
odd irrigation projects in various stages
of completion which may be affected
bv the 100000 advance from the
treasury authorized by congress talked
to the president about the commission
the latter will appoint to investigate
and report on the different projects.
Senators Carter, Jones, Smoot and
Dickinson were those who discussed
the subject with the chief executive.
They want to get the United States en-
gineers at work at the earliest possible
heretofore made. The president said he
would handle the matter as quickly as
possible. 1t is expected he will name
General Marshall, former chief of en-
gineers, as head of the commission.
The statement was made by the
presidents visitors that it may not he

PLAN UNIFORM SIGNALS.
Rail Organizations Now Are Considr-
ing Question.

Chicago, June 2s.-UnffornTity in sig
railing is to be adopted on the railroads
of the United States II plans now un-
der consideration by the various rail-
roads operating associations can be
worked out. The question is being
considered by committee OF operating
experts which probably will report up
on the subject at the fall meeting or
the American Railway association.
The committee is composed of COM
1oittees from the American Railway as
sociation, the American Railway Eng1-
neerins and Maintenance of Way asso-
citation and the Railway Signal assocl-
elton. If possible, the committee which
held a meeting in Chicago yesterday,
is expected to inaugurate a movement
toward uniformity in railway signaling
in the belief that it will promote safety
of operations.
1t is the opinion of many operating
experts that one position of the sema-
rhore of a block signal should mean the
same thing on every railroad in the
United States in order to prevent con-
fusion when operating men go from one
road t. another.

ROOSEVELT TO BOSTON.
The Colonel VIII Attend the Harvard
Commencement Exercises.

New York. June 2S.-ColoneI Theo-
dore Roosevelt departed at 10 o'clock
this morning for Boston where he will
attend the Harvard commencement
exercises.
Colonel Roosevelt came from Saga
more Hill to New York and kept Sc
cret the hour of his departure to
avoid the crowds.
He will preside at a meeting of the
Harvard alumni tomorrow and will
make a short speech. Outside of this
he has refused to disclose his plans for
the trip. He expects to return home
on Friday.
1t had been raining all night in
Oyster Bay and Colonel Roosevelt de-
cided to give up the trip by automo-
bile.

partment unseen,'' he said, "but an
old letter carrier who first nominated
me for the assembly nearly thirty
years ago, recognized me and came up
to shake hands. Then the station
employees gathered around but 1 man

followed me in here, but 1 was read
ing very studiously and they did not
STOP" ...-.-
Colonel Roosevelt was alone in his
compartment when the train started.

CITY BOARD TO ACT.
VIII Take Steps to Make People Trim
Their Trees.

After sending out numerous warn
4ngs and passing threatening ordi-
nances, the city commissioners finally
have decided that something more
radical must be done to make the peo-
pie of Topeka trim their trees.
M. C. Holman, park commissioner,
has been instructed to Inform all de-
linquent tree trimmers to get busy at
once. If it is necessary to hire
help in this work Commissioner Hol-
man will send out force of men to
cut the bothersome limbs, the expense
will be charged to the property.
Following a statement from Superin-
tendent Goodrich of the electric light
plant to the effect that overhanging
branches were causing the city an
enormous expense, and a detailed
statement of cost from H. P. Miller,
electric light commissioner, the COM
rlissioners were reused to action.
The electric light department has
found it necessary to send out a crew
of men after every storm to repair the
damage done by the limbs of the trees
to the electric light wires. Commits
sioner Miller warned the city board
that the lights would cost almost $40
each this year unless something was
done.

$4,000 on the construction of this
sewer and decided that they wanted
the money. They circulated the petit
tions and came to me to act as their
attorney in planning the scheme to
return the money by taking it before
the commissioners. I did not think
that it would cause trouble and there
was no intention of misrepresenting
the commission. I have said nothing
that would indicate that the mayor
and commissioners intended to make
any crooked use of this money"
The petition sent to the city COM
missioners asked that the balance of
$500 be returned and taken from
the assessments for 1901 for those
who have paid in cash. 1t also asked
that the city pay the fees for counsel
and lawyer.
1t will be remembered that after
sewer No. 80 was built there was a
balance of $4,000. Formerly all sur
plus amounts of this kind was placed
in the general revenue fund and the
people over the city received the ben
eft. There still is a sentiment to this
effect-that after receiving the bene-
fit of other surpluses for many years
the No. 80 people allow this money to
go into that fund

ton of it's blood later failed to reveal
any nitrite reacting material

doses over a period Of IA hours and
he was unable to discover that his
blood had been affected thereby.
