Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 1.-The Grand Army of the Republic has the same old spirit still. It is undaunt- ed, though it linps in spots, and is miraculously perennial.
 In the grand parade of the Forty sixth national annual encampment, 8,500 old soldiers. the heroic remnants of the Republics grand army of '61- 65, marched today along the streets of Los Angeles in an inspiring way, and flicked the weight of time from their shoulders as though it were a bit of dust.
 That is. most of them did, but not all. Here and there one would come up that final grade from First street to Temple-the finish of the two- mile march-with strength about gone, face ghastly and legs tottering, But they got more out of the two hours of such a day as today than most do from years.
 The streets which framed the pie ture were so thickly overhung with colors as to form almost ceiling. The "mural" decorations were the people of Los Angeles, more than 300,- 900. Women and girls threw flowers before the old soldiers along the line of march.

IS TO BE ARRESTED

New York. Sept, 11.--BurJon ". Gibson, prominent New York law yer, several of whose clients have disappeared or died under mysterious G rcuIstances, leaving valuable es. tates in his care, will be arrested on the cnarge of murder as he steps from the train at the Hudson Ter mina's in this city tomorrow morn- ing.
 The crime of which he will be ac- cuse1 is the killing of Rosa Menschik Scabe, pretty Austrian woman, who died while boating with G bson on Greenwood Lake, about month ago, Gibson vii be charged with murder by means of strange .Jiu Jitsu tr ok -strsngulation, accomplished by means of blow on the Adams apple in the throat of the woman.
 On the testimony of Dr. C.t0
 
 opsy and later made the chem cal analysis of the woman's ivceia. County Judge H. s. Royce, of Middle town, late this afternoon issued the warrant to District Attorney Rodgers, of Orange county. Dr. Schultz swore that Mrs. Scabe died of strangu.a- tion and not from drowning.
 A sharp blow was dealt her in tie throat which paralyzed the nerve and displaced the organs so that it was impossible thereafter for her to breathe.
 "It is iui-j.tsu trick of great in genu.ty," the physician said " All that was nece ssary was single sharp thrust of the thumb at the apex of the neck. It can be delivered in fract on Of minute
 Paralysis of the nerve of the threat follows instantly and at the same time the organs are displaced so that the windpipe becomes jammed and ar intake of ar is absolutely impos- sibie.'
 Judge Royce, on this testimony, at once issued the warrant for Gibson arrest. It was immediately handed over to Deputy Sheriff Willis DeGraw l for service here.
 If the crime of which Gibson is ac- cused is unusual, and if the theory of remarkable coincidence which have followed him through life are unusual the central figure in this weird tra3- edy is one of the strongest characters ! that has dawned upon the country. Burton w. Gibson is about 2S years old. Little is known of his law prac- 1 tice, save that he has run to the | management and settlement of es- tates.

\ few days ago a good and true

A few days ago good and true
man, Hon. Henry NJ. Richardson,
passed away at his home in Roch-
ester this state. Mr.. Richardson
was one of those frank, fair-dealing,
broad-gauge men whom it was a
pleasure to know. He was a native
of Vermont, volunteered in defense
of the. old flag in the sixties and
came west at the close Of the war.
He was elected sheriff of Olmsted
county in 1880 and served twelve
years. In 1892 he was elected to the
legislature, and in the 1898 session
there was no more honorable, hard
working, conscientious member than
H. M. Richardson. 1t was the
writer's good fortune to serve with
Mr.. Richardson on several important
committees and we esteemed him for
his sterling honesty and straightfor-
wardness of purpose. To know H.
M. Richardson was to love and
respect him. s,s@

In consequence of the attack by
italian torpedo boats upon the forts
at the entrance to the Dardane1les,
the Turkish government has notified
the powers that the passage has been
closed to world shipping. This
means the shutting off Of grain ship
ments from the Black sea ports of
Russia and other countries and the
stoppage of one of the chief sources
Of European supply. But the
Turkish government cannot be
blamed for it's action. The war
waged against it by Italy is unjust
and the powers should have stepped
in and put a stop to it long ere this.

PREACH GOOD ROADS.

A word to candidates for office
who are making the rounds Of the
state: Devote a few moments in
each and every talk you make to the
one mill tax amendment to be voted
on next November. AS one of the
progressive editors truly remarked,
that is a subject you can discuss
with impunity. Impress upon the
minds of your hearers that it re-
quires majority of all the votes cast
at the election to carry the amend
ment; that if there are 400, 600 votes
polled at the election, and 100000 of
those votes are in favor of the
amendment, and not vote recorded
in the negative, yet the amendment
would be defeated; it would require
a majority of all the votes cast-2OO,
DOL votes to adopt the amendment.
He who does not vote for the amend
ment is against it, for a voter who
fails to vote votes in the negative.
The adoption of the one mill tax
amendment, supplemented by the
necessary legislation, means a state
