The JanitOr Got Hot.

The ire and indignation OF a GER
tain Albert j. Ranull appears to have
been aroused by the following mild
and unaSSuming statement in our is
sue Of February 3, last
y A number of our heavy slumberers
were awakened on Tuesday morning
by the ringing of the Catholic Church
bell at 5 o'clock, (Which was intended
for 81 and hustled out to prepare for
their business during the day. After
finding they were aroused one hour
earlier than usual they were very
much disgruntled."
Now the bell did ring an hour
earlier than It usually does, and
many people who have to get up
early, did hurry to their work and
were naturally upset when they
found they gained either an hour on
the day or lost one on the night But
this fact seems to have been over
looked by the irrate correspondent of
the American Sentinei, who apparent
~ wrote it:
There is an old saying, old but
true, that there are but few people
that know how to mind their own
business, and II Is to be feared the
Editor Of the Advocate cannot be
numbered among the few. Also the
Catholic Church bell is not a time
piece, but church bell and the Edi-
tor of the Advocate does not have to
arise by il II he does not wish to but
can use his own pleasure, and not
bother his head if the bell rings at
midnight"
Yours very truly,
ALBERT y. RANULL,
80 Z. Main st.,
Westminster, Nd.
Now this is very unkind, especially
in view of the fact that the Editor of
the Advocate is not noted for early
rising, az for minding its business
the Advocate was strictly at It, when
1t gave piece of news. But BY the
way, who is Mr.. Ranull +? Could it
BE- that he is the janitor, who made
the mistake y

SILK STOCKINGS AND
RARE COINS ON HOBO

Sheriff T. d. Taylor is looking for
the owner of valuable collection of
old coins which was found in the
possession of John Miller, a transient
picked up in the 'jungles' near this
city yesterday. There are Sc coins in
the collection, being rare specimens
from this and other countries, and
the officers are positive that they
are stolen property. Besides the
coins, Miller had in his possession at
the time of arrest, handsome la
dies collarette of beads and a pair of
silk stockings.
The discovery was made yesterday
afternoon when Deputy Sheriff George
Strand and Officer Ira Hughes were
searching the jungles" for a man
wanted in idaho. Miller claims the
articles found on him were cached by
another Of his class several days ago
and that he found the cache and ap-
propriated the contents. The Off
GERS are, however. inclined to dis
believe his story and he is being held
in the county Jail pending an investi-
cation.

JOHN SPAIN TO BRING
BUCk|KG WILD STEER

John Spain, winner of the wild
horse race at the Roundup last fall.
will be at the show this year despite
the trouble in which he recently be-
came involved, and he will bring with
him string of ten bad buckers and
wild steer that has defied all buck
arooes to ride it. This is the sub
stance of letter just received by
Secretary Gwinn from the well known
cowboy and the news is right well
come.
Spain characteriZes the steer as a
"humdinger" and declares it has
thrown 92 buckarooes who attempted
to ride 1t. 1t possesses the name of
Little Snake" and Spain says it is
sure some snaky'.
With the addition of the Spain
string of wild horses, Sheriff Taylor
now has 80 head of vicious buckers
listed and intends to have that many
more by the opening of the Round
Up. There will be at least that many
riders entered, according to Secretary
G~inn, and each will be furnished
with a fresh "outlaw." For the wild
horse race, a fresh batch of wild
horses will be used each day so that
any possibility of rider drawing
jaded or tame horse will be avoided.

WATERS OF BYERS
MILL RACE CLAIM
Q YEAR OLD BOY
Clifford Dupuis browns While
Trying to Get Chicken
From Stream.

The Byers mill race in this city, a
place of man ytragic deaths, yester-
day evening claimed another victim
when Clifford Eugene Dupuis, nine
year-old son of Clifford Dupuis, Sr.,
fell headlong into its waters aud
drowned before help could be sum
moned by his young playmates.
In reaching over the bank for a
dead chicken floating on the surface,
he lost his balance and was precipi-
tated into the water. His young
companions tried vainly to rescue
him but, after he had sunk for the
third time, they ran for assistance.
Charles Workman fastened to the
scene and pulled the limp body )ut
of the murky waters within ten mini
utes of the time in which they had
received it, but in that time they had
done their deadly work. Life was eX-
tinct and all efforts failed to restore
the spark which had vanished.
The drowning occurred about 8
o'clock in the mill race near Railroad
and Franklin streets. The body was
carried around the sharp curve and
vas located just below the little fo Ut
bridge which crosses the stream.
Coroner Folsom was notified but
decided an inquest unnecessary to de-
termine the cause of death. The fu-
neral will be neld some time tomor-
row.

INFANT F|ANCEE
HAS BREAKDOWN
Criticism of Approaching Mar
rage, Has Ill Effect on
Little Girl.

New York, Aug. 1s.-Following
that has been made by the clergy of
all denominations against her mar
riage to Colonel Astor, Miss Made
line Force, the multi-mi illionaires fl
ancee, has suffered a breakdown,
which it is believed is directly due
to the adverse criticism occasioned
by her approaching marriage TO a
man three times her own age, which
is eighteen years.
Miss Forces friends refuse to ad-
NIT that her condition is serious or
that it was brought on by the noto-
r!ety that she has gained since the an
nouncement of her engagement to her
aged sweetheart.
Whiie refusing TO discuss the mat
ter of the proposed wedding with in
reviewers, the family have persist
emily maintained that the wedding
will take place, as first announced,
regardless of public sentiment and
they strongly intimate that the public
is meddling in their affairs, which
should be of no interest to any one
outside the family circle.
Ministers declare that they will
continue to denounce the proposed
match until the wedding day, unless
the principals should happen 70
abandon their intention of marrying
before that time, which is not at all
likely.

M'CABE AGREED WITH
WILEY ON WH|SKEY

Washington, Aug. 16 - Complain
ing bitterly that his decision that rye
whiskey should be made from rye
was the only case in which he was
sustained by Solicitor McCabe, DR..
Harvey Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry in the agricultural depart
ment, denounced the drug inspection
board as a creation which utterly
nullified the work of the chemistry
bureau and made it inefficient, while
testfyrng before the house commit
tee on expenditures in the agricul-
tural department.
He said that whenever DR.. Dunlap
and he disagreed, McCabe, the third
member, always sided with Dunlap,
thus overruling two thirds of about
1900 cases which had been prepared
at cost of about 5000 each.
DR. Wiley denied that he had con-
tracted with DR.. Busby for Busby to
work a specified number of days for
$500. This employment is the basis
for the technical violation OF the law
charged against DR.. Wiley.

Chicago Amateur Aviatiea
Meet Mared by SpectacuI-
ar and Fearful Tragedies
AND BADGER
ARE LATEST VICTnR
One Drops 10 Death i'm Front Of
Crowded Grandstand; Fatal Plnnas
OF Other Witnessed by Young Wiss
and Ends in Lake.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 1.-two u1ore
tragic deaths were added to the list of
victims of uncertain air-waves Da1e
yesterday afternoon, when Aviatsss
William r. Badger, of Pittsburg ana
st. Crois Johnstone, of Chicago, fen
to their doom when their respective
machines fell from dizzy heishfs
curing their flights in the amateur
aviation meets. The accidents &C.
cured within a short time of each
other, Badger falling in the arena, IN
front of the crowded grandstand and
Johnstone falling into Lake Michixzn
and being carried deep down by the
heavy engine, which he was under.
Badger lived three-quarters OF an
hour after he had been extricafeA
from the wreck of his engine. He
did not recover consciousness. I'm
death was the first serious accide.e
of the meet, although 35 flyers hxx,
dipped and glided here for three Gays
and experts say several similar aceS-
dents have been narrowly averted.
He fell in front of the grandstsxS
and thousands of spectators vers
within a few hundred yards. Hsx-
dreds leaped the fences. fought pzsf
the line of police and rushed into tSs
pit where the wrecked biplane lay.
Five minutes later attention and IN
terest had reverted to the men sim
flying.
Johnstone's accident was due, ae-
cording to expert aviators, to a sinS-
lar unsuspected flaw in the meebaH-
icism of his monoplane. Just what
ii was probably will never be known
as the engine is in the lake. John
stones actual fall was witnessed bv
his young wife, although it was not
until half hour later that she war
informed of his death.
