WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 2s.--
While denying they had received any
appeal from the Cuban government
for American aid in supervising the
coming presidential elections on the
island, state department officials ad.
mitted if this aid is asked for it will
be granted.
After the fall of the Palma regime
the United States lent aid in Cube
to maintain order at the polls and
protect foreign property during the
riots that followed and is prepared to
do so again this time. This will
not be voluntarily proffered, however
unless conditions in Cuba make it
imperative for the United States again
to intervene and assume charge of
the government.

ures are confined to adult deaths and
constitute 5 per cent of the deaths of

constituting moral drag and danger
to the other citizens of the country.

sufficient to cope with any emergency.

The Democrats of the state are very
much afraid that lyman, who was de-
feated for governor on the Democrat
ic ticket by Ammons, will run as an
independent candidate. Petitions for
that purpose are now being circu-
lated, but there are those who claim
that he will refuse to become can
didate on the Democratic ticket and
will announce himself as in favor of
the Progressive party. This is hard
blow on the Democratic party, since
it was considered by the leaders that
the division in the Republican party
would be sure to cause the election Of
that ticket this fall. From all ap-
pearances there will be as disastrous
a division in the mule party as there
is in the elephant party.

THE SOUTHERN OUTLET.

There are few who realize the skill

by Mr.. Reagan in Durango. Being a
man of wide experience in these mat
ters he understands that he must be
ready with comprehensive evidence to
combat with any objection to his pres
entation that may be raised to a
southern outlet by railroad capital,
and his skill in preparing the neces-
sary tables for this purpose is well
calculated to meet Just such an emer-
gency. Capitalists desire facts, and
Mr.. Reagan has carefully Investigated
each branch Of this subject, and when
he is ready to present the result Of
his work it will be both reliable and
comprehensive.
This brings us to the fact that Cor

law ruled in Augusta today the result
of last nights disorders, in which two
men were killed and one wounded by
state militiamen guarding the prop
erty of the local street railway COM
pany, whose employees are on strike.
Five companies of guardsmen are
on duty today. The fifth company ar
rived from Waynesboro this morning
and was placed on duty around the
railway power plant. 1t was in this
territory that the dead line" was es-
tablished by the militia last night and
in which the shooting of the three
persons occurred.
The dispatch of additional guards
men was ordered by Governor Brown
late last night after he had been
notified that the situation here was
critical. He issued a proclamation de-
claring the city in state of insur-
rection, ordering martial law.
Alfred Dorm and Robert Christie,
who were killed, and Ben F. Baker
who was wounded, are Augusta bust
ness men. Christie was driving an
automobile and the other two were in
a carriage when they crossed the
dead line" near the power house.
They were ignorant of the order limit
- q A. L. n
Dorm whipped up their horses when
the guard ordered them to stop.
Christie died today.
The immediate cause of the strike
was the objection to certain rules of
the company. The strike leaders say
the company seeks to destroy their
union.

VICTIM OF ACCIDENT
IS LAID TO REST

This morning John Miller was laid
to rest in Greenmount cemetery. The
funeral was held from Goodman and
DeLaney's chapel, services were con-
Quoted at st. Columba's church.
The death of the young man, who
was only % years Of age, was espe-
cially sad. He had been resident Of
Durango but three weeks. Martin
Miller, the brother who was respon-
sible for his death, left the old horne
twenty-one years ago and since they
had not met. Last year Martin Mil
Ter sent his brother money for his pas
sage to America. He first located in
California where he remained until a
month ago.
When he arrived in this city the
Miller home was the scene Of great
happiness. Such a reunionl The
brothers SO long separated had no end
of common interest to discuss. Mar
tin Miller must know all Of
the things which had been part of
the family history since his brother
could remember. For the younger
brother all things which had a part
in the elders life had for him the
greatest interest.
With firearms John Miller was ac-
acquainted, and it was while Martin
Miller was explaining the mechanism
of pistol to him the accident occur
red which caused his death. The ham,
mer of the gun slipped and the car.
fridge exploded The bullet entered
the abdomen of the younger brother
coursing its way downward to his lef,
thigh where it lodged. A physician
and ambulance was called at once and
the injured man hurried to Mercy
hospital where an operation was per.
formed. The injury was not consid
cred fatal, until peritonitis developed
when all hopes Of his recovery wert
abandoned.
Only those who have looked for
ward to seeing friends from afar ant
then after the happily anticipated mo
ment arrives to have them suddenly
taken from them by the cold hant
of death can appreciate the sorrow
that is the lot Of the brother VIII
survives. The fact that he is respon
sible for the death has well nigh mad
his burden more than he can bear

such a large number of guests this

most familiar with Mine Host Still

crowd that thronged them by day and

Of the comfortable quarters and fine

gardener, both from a scientific and
commercial standpoint.
After residing in the section years
enough to give him membership in
the pioneers association his enthu-
siasm regarding San Juan county
wanes not at all, indeed it increases
with the years. In the efforts being
made to secure southern outlet, Mr..
Allen is one Of the foremost in The
movement, although he speaks in
highest terms of the courtesies ex-
tended to the Pennington fruit grow
ers by the Denver g. Rio Grande this
year.
Not only will a portion of the San
Juan exhibit be used as an eye-opener
for local people but will be utilized
for further missionary work. A prize
box of Jonathan apples which were
distinguished for uniformity in size,
coloring and symmetry were shipped
to the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce today. Other fine samples were
sent to Denver and Chicago. Jesse
Haller of Mancos purchased por-
ton of the exhibit and expressed it
to railroad company which he hopes
to interest here.
Mr.. Allen happily designated his
display as a good will offering which
had been received in the spirit it had
been made. He was especially anxious
his neighbors should be given due
credit for their generous contributions
toward the big exhibit but said little
about his own portion, although it
was of sufficient size and quality to
aid most materially in the success of
the display. His fine ranch and its
products are too well known to the
residents of the San Juan basin to
make detailed account necessary.
Messrs. Walling, Brothers, Dustin
and Graham had fine exhibits of va
rious fruits, all prize specimens of
their variety. The potatoes grown by
Michael Mccormick shows that San
Juan county will also soon assist in
giving Greeley a race to maintain
her reputation as the best section for
growing "spuds."
A pumpkin grown on the Carson
ranch tipped the scales at sixty-hve
pounds. Possibly the vegetable that
attracted the most attention was the
sweet potatoes, which averaged IL
pounds in weight. When the house
keeper recollected that the market
price was 6 cents per pound she i'm
mediately wanted the "He" member OF
the family to buy Pennington land
and engage in raising sweet potatoes
and yams.
The water melons exceeded in size
those from the Montezuma valley
The flavor was said to be equally
good.
George Brett had great collection
of onions and Price Walters, the ranch
man who has given much attention tt
growing corn, had splendid exhibit
of his prize crop. George Mcclellan
| won the heart of the darker coloret
spectators with water melons, while
Will McRea had the apples that ev
erybody wanted. Andrew Gilchris
displayed grapes and L. B. Manchester
corn. Colonel holland of Flora Visit,
contributed some mammoth potatoes
to the exhibit. Mr.. Polly showed I
new kind of cucumber that looked a
though they might be cross betweel
green snake and a squash. Mr.. Nc
Henry exhibited some peaches tina
would make Grand Junction sit up an

Saying Attributed to the Martyred
President Was That of the Snowman
Last Wednesday the Philadelphia
Record had a cartoon on Roosevelt
in which the oft quoted saying
attributed to Lincoln was brought
into play. One of our readers who
saves clippings hands US the follow
ing taken from the Philadelphia
Record of issue January 25, 1905 as
reprinted from the Wheeling Regis
ter, v ich says: "The question has
been asked as to the utterance of
Lincoln. in which htS used the
famous words: you Can fool all
the people some of the time. and
some of the people all of the time,
but not all the people all the time.
An Ohio Congressman who was
asked the question referred it to
the Librarian of Congress. The
Washington Post, reporting the re-
suit, says that Assistant Librarian
Spofford made a written reply in
which he says the sentence does
not occur in any of Mr.. Lin"oln's
writings. adding that Mr.. Nicolsy,
Lincoln's secretary and associate of
Colonel John Hay in writing the
elaborate biography of Lincoln,
told Spofford the alleged Lincoln
saying was spurious. Librarian
Spofford says the real author of the
popular sentence was Phineas T.
Barnum, the famous Snowman, who
fooled the people more successful
ly than any other man of his time.
Campaign orators will please take
notice."

burglar of the desperate type. and
whose mama has now been spread
broadcast from New York to Cali
fornia because of Governor Penne-
willis Intervention after he had re-
ceived forty of the seventy lashes
sentenced, on the ground that the
law does not contemplate human
torture, was the central figure in a
court scene on Thursday, just be-
yond the State borders. The Caro-
line county court made a plea for
the use of Wright as witness in the
case of the State versus Fletcher
Warner, one of his old accon.plices.
The court here, for the purpose of
serving the ends of justice, made
the order and Wright was taken to
Denton. The case was one where
Charles Clark. a Greensboro mer-
chant, had been robbed of merchan-
disc and money to the amount of
$3.50 and Wright, who was "on the
ground" was the States star wit
ness. Wright's presence attracted
the biggest crowd in decade, peo.
pie being anxious to see a criminal
of such note.
