Woman Tries to Save DR.. CIeminson

Denying her love for DIR. Haldane
Cleminson convicted of staying his wife,
but protesting determination to save
him from a life in prison. Mrs. Anna
Schmidt, aged q, wife of St Louis
liquor dealer, unfolaed story of tor
tured soul.
Affidavits have been prepared by Mrs.
Schmidt which will be used by Messrs.
Nathan and William II. UT, attorneys
for Cleminson, in a fight for new trial.
Only few hours remain in which to
prevent the ruling of the supreme court
taking effect. thus sending Cleminosn
to Joliet.
The world can never. know how
have suffered as saw the net Tightening
about DR.. Cleminson," she said. "A
word from me would have freed him,
but could not bear to tell my husband
how had spent night of revelry with
the man. DIR. Cleminson's loyalty to
me and his refusal to drag my name
in the mire, finally decided me. Then
l confessed to my husband.
"Isn'tit fine the way my husband is
acting? He furnished me with the
money for this trip to Chicago and did
not quarrel with me when l told him
that had resolved to tell the truth
and endeavor to save an innocent
man.
II would have come anyway. 1t is
my duty to save DIR. Cleminson if can,
and could not remain silent any lon

Carpet weighing million and half
pounds: carpet valued at a million dol

the engines at the head of this train.

days, was required to guide this carpet
through the looms and prepare it for its
long journey. Had the entire ship

orators would have been required to
produce this one train-losd of mer-

The consignment of such a quantity
of goods to Pacific Coast distributing

Promised to Reform the Tariff

At the democrat caucus of member
tO-be of the next house of representa-
tives at Washington. recently. Repre-
sentative Clayton, who called the geth-
ering tc order, said:
We have promised to reform the
tariff by lowering it to a revenue bas-
is. We must and will endeavor to
keep that promise. Let US declare n
democrats and for ever maintain that
the government has no right to even 70
much as one dollar from tha citizens
under the guise of tariff law except
for the support of the government.
1Mr. Clayton had given the correct
in Fpretation of that language he
would have been forced to explain it in
this way:
Let US declare and forever maintain
that the government has no right to
collect one dollar of tariff for the pur-
pose of protecting the employe and
maintaining his wages. Never mind
the mills and the factories. Let them
shift for themselves. If the cheap
goods of Germany flood our markets
and close our Industrial establishments
what of it? What has the government
to do with the workingmen, anyhow?
In England there is no duty on mill pro.
ducts and workingmen of London walk
the streets in starving condition by
the tens of thousands. What duties
are collected there are for revenue
only,and to exc out the revenues every
body is taxed directly. That is the
way to do things. Let us copy Eng
land. Let US clap on direct taxation
wherever we can, cut the custom
duties without the slightest regard for
protection, and if the mills close, what
matters it, so long as we proclaim to
our dying breath the great principle of
Tariff for revenue only?"
Mr.. Clayton would be indignant

toned the lawyer.
YES answered the witness.
"What did he say?" next demanded
the lawyer.
The attorney for the defense jumped
to his feet and objected that the con-
versation could not be admitted into
the evidence.
A half hours argument ensued and
the judges retired to their private
room to consider the point. An hour
later they filed into the court room
and announced that the attorney
might put his question.
"What did the plaintiff say, Mr..
SMITH"
"He weren't at home, SIR" came
the answer without tremor.

AN OPEN LETTER

10 the Statesman:
| take pleasure in concentrating
you on the very able articles in the
last three issues of your paper first
on the indefensible stigma aimed at
us in Bill No. 240, CHASING us with
the worst OF undesirables. Noting the
dlthcu!ty in getting copies of the bill.
1t aroused in me intense skepticism
as TO the intent of the measure toward
colored citizens. Your second and
third articles on the duty We owe and
the cohesive force we can exert
against prescription and the treachery
OF those gum-shoed, self-seeking vam-
pres who stealthily seek TO misrepre-
sent us, and the appeal for our COM
bined efforts 10 wipe out this element,
was timely. refreshing and logical.
We OF the Democratic faith have been
sorely tried and sadly betrayed by
two perfidious, disreputable time-serv-
ers. who masquerade as Democrats

who in the last campaign fairly leaned
at the opportunity to betray the in
terests of the colored citizen and
trample upon his manhood in order
to play upon the cupidity of certain
misguided state officials who desig-
mated for us a lower status of polit-
ical representation than that accord
ed by former state administrations
They reported phantom examinations
which they did not nor could not set
up, for the reason that where they
were known they had no influence
Ihey went so far as to copy the MEM
bership of certain colored clubs. palm
them off on those who sought to use
them as members of political organ
izaions. 1t is the opinion of many
white and colored citizens that state
officials who denied us political recog.
milton are infinitely to be preferred to
these traducers of their mistreated
brethren. 1t is also the opinion of
many that We should wage unrelent-
ing war upon such as they as mat
ter of self protection.
Il is idle to suppose that intelligent
thoughtful people of an entire race in
a great nation like ours should agree
upon the same political and partisan
propaganda. To do so would mean
sinking to the dead level of medioc-
rity as We have done in recent years.
What we need is honest. cool headed.
fearless leaders in all parties to pro-
tect our interests. As both parties
are so remiss in their duty to us and
ever ready to rear caste lines, it is
reasonable that We should easily unite
regardless of other honest differences
for racial proposition hits us alike,
whatever our political faith may be.
The political traitors in our own race
are equally pernicious, therefore, and
We should make common cause in
getting rid of them. Now what are
we going TO do about It?

years this association has made great
progress in lettering the grade OF
animals that are found on the farms in
this state, with particular reference to
cattle and hogs. The results have COM

BIG BLAZE AT ABERDEEN.

An Aberdeen dispatch says that the
total destruction of the division head
quarters, the store house, the freight
depot and the new passenger sta
lion of the Milwaukee railroad in that
city, a financial loss of $500, 900, and
great damage to the stock of furniture
carried by Croker & Owen is the re-
suit of fires in that city Monday. Both
blazes came in the forenoon, and part
of the department was called from the
Milwaukee fire to save the furniture
store.
The destruction of the railroad prop
erty was one of the worst fires in the
history of Aberdeen, and because of
the highly inflamable material that
was blazing, the department was I'M
able to make much progress toward
getting it under control.
The fire fighters were called to the
soon after a small oil heater eX-
plOded in the freight room, and in a
very short time the fire had spread to
several cars of gasoline and kerosene
which were standing on the house sid
ing. 1t was not only dangerous but al
most utterly impossible for the fire
men to get to points of vantage to
throw water on the seething building.
The kerosene and gasoline was packed
in barrels, and every few moments one
Of these would burst, throwing the
flame in all directions. This o set
fire to every part of the freight house
and the building in which the head
quarters of the road for this state are
located.
The firemen fought hard to save the
passenger station, which sits on
seventy-five feet to the north of the
freight house, from burning, but after
the south buildings were nearly de-
stroyed, the station took fire and was
reduced to ashes in a half hour.
Within an hour of the time that
the alarm was turned in for the fire
at the Milwaukee offices, a blaze was
discovered in the furniture store
owned by the Croker e. Owen COM
pany. The department, exhausted by
its work at the first blaze, put up an
other hard scrap there.
The building was saved, though the
stock was badly damaged by smoke
and water. The fire was located in
the basement and the entire structure
filled with dense smoke. The
actual fire damage is nominal.
