cho case to the public, interest in the
matter will have died out almost com
pletely. The public, with the aid of
numerous moulders of public opinion
throughout the country, has already
pronounced it's verdict. That part of
the public which has decided that Bal
linger has been very unjustly accused
is Just as sincere and firm in its con
victions as that other portion of the
public which is firmly convinced that
Ballinger is unfit for public Office and
ought in decency to resign from the
service. AS for the committee which
seemed through the hearings to be as
badly divided on the subject as the
public itself, there is no present pros
pect of its announcing decision.
Chairman Nelson, when asked about 1t
few days ago, replied that he was
utterly unable to say when the md

public. He was equally unable to sur,
mise what the findings would DO, and
while he admitted that he would ike

upon the subject, he said that he feit II

NATIONS CHIEF
JUSTICE DEAD

A press dispatch from Bar H.rho.
Maine, dated July 4, SAYS that ch;.,
Justice Melville Fuller, of the II
supreme court, died from heart f.,,rr.
at his summer home in Sol-ento :. :
o clock in the morning.
The death of the Chief JUST.
entirely unexpected, as he had BEN -
apparently good health lately ana ~
serious symptoms of any kind devl'
oped Yesterday he. attended churc.
as usual and when he retired last night
ne seemed in his customary spirits.
Death came about 6 O'Clock in the
morning. Mrs. Nathaniel Francis and
Rev. James E. Freeman, who was q
guest of Justice Fuller at his Sorrento
cottage Mainstay' were with the
Jurist when he died. The funeral ser.
vices will be held at Sorrento and the
interment will be at Chicago. The
date for the funeral has not yet been
fixed. Chief Justice Fuller was in his
18th year
For many years the Chief Justice
had spent his summers at Sorrento. a
summer colony located on Franchman .
Bay, five miles from Bar Harbor.
Melville Weston Fuller was born at
Augusta, Maine, February IL. 1888. He
graduated at Bowdoin college in 1853
and Immediately began the study Of
law in Bangor and the law department
of Harvard university. He was ad.
mitted to the bar and began practice
at Augusta in 1858. The following
year he became president Of the com.
mon council and city solicitor Of An
gusta but resigned both Offices and re-
moved to Chicago.
Upon the death of Chief Justice
Waite in 1888, the Illinois Republican
senators urged the appointment Of Mr..
Fuller, Democrat. to the vacancy.
The nomination of Mr.. Fuller, then
ffty-five years of age, was followed
by a memorable contest in the senate.
The Judiciary committee with its Re-
publican majority, to which the nomi-
nation was sent April 8, held mn the
appointment until July 90. Then the
committee reported it to the senate
without recommendations.
For three hours that body debated
In executive session whether to con.
firm or reject the nomination. The
attack on Mr.. Fuller was led by Sem
ators Edmunds, Everts and Stewart.
Senators Cullom and Farwsn defended
him. The reports that he had been =
cooper head'' during the Civil war
and that he did not possess the requisite
ability as lawyer were gone over.
Finally by vote Of Al to 20 his
nomination was confirmed.
Since that day the entire court, as
it then existed, has passed away with
the single exception of Justice Harlan.
OF those prominent in the fight over his
confirmation only Senator Cullom re-
mains. and President Cleveland, who
thus honored the Illinois lawyer, has
likewise gone to his grave.

BATHING AND HEALTH

1t might be said that the power and
strength of nation or a person may be
measured by it's or his regard for the
bath. History furnishes emphatic IL
Illustrations of this fact. When Egypt,
Greece and Rome were at the height of
their ancient power, their citizens made
bathing a social function, bunicipal
duty and religious observance. The
public baths of these nations were mag
nificent architecurally, and important
as centers of hvgienic and municipal
sentiment. With the decadence of
these countries, the world seems to
have reverted to period of mental
sloth and physical uncleanliness.
AS an authority on the matter puts
y: "For a thousand years there was
not a man or woman in Europe that
ever took bath. if the historian of
these times, Michelet, is to be believ-
ed. The ancient love of the bath
seemed to have disappeared from off the
land. There was no Greece or Rome to
hold up the ensign Of cleanliness to the
nations of Europe. Small wonder that
the poples of the continent became
physical decadents, as indeed they were
in spite of tradition to the contrary
1t is not strange tha here came he
awful epidemics hat cut off one-fourth
of the population of Europe-the stot
ted plague; the black death; the sweat
ing sickness and the terrible mental
epidemics that followed in their train
the dancing mania; the mewing
mania and the biting mania. Not only
the houses, but the persons of all
| ciasses raeked with filth and vermin
The bath was banished and filth was al

Big FIGHT WELL
HANDLED BY RENO

! Inc hrst contingent of the Winnie
mucea fight fans arrived home from
Reno at about o'clock this morning
ON the first section of No. 4. afte,
having passed sleepless night. Will,
no doubt many of them were disan
pointed at the outcome of the mill 81
expressed themselves as satisfied tha,
the best man had won.
one man, who is veteran at the
game, stated that Jeffries knew he was
whipped at the conclusion of the fourth
round At that time had he been able
to land one good blow on his duskv
opponent the fight would have beer
over, but he was unable to do so. Or
the other hand johnson was confiden,
and felt satisfied that he could end the
battle whenever he wished.
In the 18th and final round, johnson
worked Jeffries around towards his
corner and then knocked him over the
ropes. Nobody seemed to be count
ing, and spectators holding watches
claimed that it was fully fifteen sec
onds before Jeffries came to his feet
johnson then backed him clear across
the ring, when he rained shower OF
blows on the boilermaker head, put.
ting him over the ropes second time
There he hung helpless for several sec.
onds, until his seconds threw up the
sponge.
After the battle johnson was in good
shape showing no effects of the mill
While Jeffries drew first blood, it was
from the black man Is lip, where it had
been split open a few days previously
by one of his sparring partners. On the
other hand, parties who visited jeff
ries' training quarters after the fight
claim that he was badly used up.
The victor, accompanied by his wife,
days and a retinue Of trainers and ad-
mirers, passed through Winnemucca
On No. at about 6 O'Clock this morn
ing buond for New York, where he is
under a theatrical contract with Ham
merstein.
Winnemucca visitors all express their
satisfaction at the manner in which
the tremendous crowd was handled by
the fight promoters and by the people
of Reno 1t is estimated that there
were $4,000 people in the arena, will
from 1000 to 1000 more unable to OBJ
tain seats. Rooms were found by the
committee for all who wished them
while meals were obtainable at practi
cally normal prices.

Next Tuesday evening in the G. A. r
Hall at Ellis, Congressman Cole of Ohio
will tell the people why Republicans at
the primary should nominate a Con-
gresham from the 9th District who is
certain to vote for President Taft
measures and those demanded by the
National Republican platform, rather
than man who may claim to be a
Republican at home, and when elected
and in Washington votes with the
Democrats for Observation-Disclosures
measures and to create dissent among
the party. Why in the next two years
with it's Presidential campaign coming
on, should Congress have Republican
members there who VII vote every
tine as majority of a Republican
caucus decide is for the best interests
of the party, and rot members like
Murdoch and Madsen, whose nearly
every vote was against administration
measures. Men needed who will &c
into the Republican caucus and help
formulate and vote for the good of the
party, as President Taft is sure to be
re-nominated and he wants Congress-
men who will carry out his policies,
not men who have to be begged tc
vote with their party.
