ONE WORD MADE
LOT OF DIFFERENCE

Did you ever stop to think what
a difference in the meaning of a
sentence the transposition of sim
gle word might make?
An error of this kind slipped into
The Press yesterday, causing Sher-
iff F. X. Pugh to be righteously
indignant.
In speaking of a little banquet
rendered by the sheriff's office to
the head of the department. the
statement appeared that when 1t
was up to the genial sheriff to
make reply to congratu.- DRY
address made tw .Ir.age j. Stanley
Webs'n~ wac was too full to an
sE CT, and it wasn't a banquet of
water either"
What the reporter wrote was
Mac was too full to answer, and
it wasn't of banquet water either"
The writer wished to convey the
meaning, as expressed by mem
Der of the sheriff's force, that he
was touched at the action of his
assistants in rendering him ban
quet, and failed to respond in but
a few words. So you see what a
difference the tranSpOsitiOn of that
word "of" made.

PRESS CLUB TO
BE ORGANIZED

Within a short time press club
probably will be formed in this city.
With the rapidly increasing num-
Der of newspaper men in town the
subject has become one of general
discussion, and plans for prelim-
mary meeting are now being laid.
The most noted press clubs in
the west are those. of Denver and
San Francisco. The busiest hours
in those clubs are between 2 and 4
o'clock Sunday morning. At that
time these present such lively and
novel scenes that it is really a
shame that the general public
cannot get an idea of them.
1t is thought that the press club,
IL decided upon, will start with a
membership of 100. Probably a
meeting will be called the latter
part Of this week.

Lloyd Montgomery, aged "a, be-
came violently insane last night at
the home Of his brother-in-law, c.
B. Rinear, 2407 Dean avenue. He
became so violent that it twas
found necessary to strap him to a
cot until the police patrol arrived
to take him to the ecunty nri.::cSBFs,
where he was placed in a padded
cell. Too close application to- the
study of Christian Science is given
as the reason for his going wrong.
Montgomery is well-educated

NO SOLUTION
BY STARVING

The expectation confidently
held in some quarters that the
local central labor c. .Si.
would declare boycott against
the eating of meat until the
prices are lowered by the trusts
at last nights meeting, has not
been gratified.
Although the subject was dis
cussed, no action was taken.
The union men are evidently of
the opinion that the problem of
high prices and the trusts is of
too serious nature to be
solved by starving.

ings of the different locals in order
that the members may secure state
lhents of local conditions from the
men who are directly concerned.
The fact that the local switch
mems union has not been affiliated
with the central body here was not
allowed to interfere with the well
come which the strikers received
at the meeting of the council. They
were welcomed, and the action of
the council in instructing the dele
gates, will undoubtedly result in
substantial financial assistance for
their cause.

Mt. Pleasant News. President
Schell of Iowa Wesleyan wore a rad
iating smile out at Senator Seeley's
palatial residence on Broadway this
morning. Senator Seeley had just
announced to him that he would start
the Mt. Pleasant subscriptions to the
100000 endowment fund, which must
with $4,000, All of which is to be appli-
ed on the first 100000. He rendered
fine piece of land, forty-eight and
half acres, income producing, and
rented for the year Dr. Schell inn
mediately accepted the land, and re-
ported to the steering committee.
which met at his office at four o'clock
this afternoon. Senator Seeley's first
thought was of endowing some
scholarships in the name of his broth
err the late George Lincoln Seeley,
but after further thought determined
to make the gift in his own name. DR.
Schell's morning mail brought the
conditional offer of $1,000, forty per
cent of which should be available on
the first 100000, from Mr.. Amos
Steckel, of Bloomfield. through his
son, Mr.. w ]. Steckel. The gift was
made on the condition that some Mt.
Pleasant citizen make like gift, and
President Schell quickly soldered that
down by reporting Senator Seeley's
donation in telephone conversation.
Thus, $1,000, or one-tenth of the sum
needed by April It'll, is assured.

Especial Correspondence to Marning Journall
Hillsboro. n. NJ. Sept. ga min
ing deal OF more than usual import
ance has just been closed here. Colonel
nolgate of the Ell Cliff Mining COM
pany at Hermosa, has purchased
from Tom Ross and associates the
famous Pelican group of mines, This
consideration is understood to have
been $40, 900 cash and the balance in
stock and notes. The Pelican group
has produced $1,500,000 in silver and
was the mine which first attracted at
tention to the Hermosa mining camp.
Years ago the mine sold for $75, 600.
John KAISER. general manager for
the Ocean Wave Mining company, is
authority for the statement that his
company in conjunction with the FL
cliff will install a water
power plant TO run the machinery for
MI the mines in the camp, and that
q scheme of consolidating all the
mines of Hermosa into a five million
dollar company is being discussed.
The hackers of the proposed CONSOLE
dalton are said ia be an English syn
dfcate and the stock viii. in case the
consolidation goes through. be prob
ably placed in England. Mr.. KAISER
reports that on the lowest level Of the
Antelope workings they have encoun-
tered a high grade ore body which al
this writing shows q width of over ten
feet, the ore running about 800 ounces
silver. A few days ago a solid chunk
of ore weighing over 500 pounds was
hoisted out Of the mine and the aV-
erage production per day is about 40
ions.
The sale of the Pelican group was
concluded here today, Messrs. Ross,
Holgate and KAISER coming on here
especially for this purpose. Messrs.
KAISER and Holgate have taken out o
license and will open a store at Her
mosa under the name of the Hermosa
supply company.
Lie Teaford. who is famous for his
livery stable. his cats n his dogs,
went up to Hermosa a few days ago
To visit the scenes of his old stamping
around, and returned today.
There is a lack Of school teachers in
his county and some of the school
districts will find trouble in opening
up their schools.
The mill of the Statehood Mines
will shortly start in on a run of dump
ore. Several thousand tons. almost a
years supply are said to be available
and it is asserted hat a %recover OF
