describing an alleged telephone con-

the white house during the 1904 cam

for 100000 contribution to the repub-

attorney general, was a witness to the
conversation.
Mr. Russell said the story came to
him in 1910 from a magazine writer
who told him he had the story from
Mr.. MacVeagh. ...
After the committee insisted on
knowing the name of the writer Mr..
Russell said he was Judson c..

CAUSE OF MAu's
Death UNEN0 .
ABSENCE OF MRS. WARD DEFERS
CORONER'S EXAMINATION
OVER HER HUSBAND

= Abba, Oct. 1.-THE cause Of the
death of John Ward, a farmer living
near No. -, Buxton, found in his
orchard about o'clock Saturday
morning by some of the members OF
his family has not yet been determined
by the coroner's jury, which has post
poned complete investigation until
Wednesday, when Mrs. Ward Will re-
turn from Colorado. Pending de-
cision James Drury 'Jr, a miner at
No. ~, is under surveillance. The two
had fight Thursday evening as re-
suit of young Drury crossing WARDS
farm in going and coming from his
work. Drury asserts that Ward called
him insulting names, for which ne
struck him and that Ward attacked
him with knife, and that he was
obliged to knock him down three times
before he was free from any further
danger from Wards knife. Ward was
about the farm as usual all day Friday
and in the evening he stated that he
was going to Buxton. Not returning in
a reasonable time a search was lnstl-
tuted and he was found about a a. m.
Saturday dead in his orchard. Sheriff
Griffin was notified Immediately and
he. accompanied by County Attorney
Bates and Coroner Hyatt, went to the
farm. Several bruises were found
about the head. Whether these were
received In the fight with young Drury
Thursday evening or in another en-
counter some time Friday night, is
still question. Ward was about fifty
three years old. Drury comes OF a
respectable family and has always
borne a good name.

story now Each successive week
shows an increase in the orders for
work in the big mills, while most of
them are running to their full a
in the calendar year which will end
a little over three and a half months
hence will leave the best records of
the past far behind.
This situation ought to have a
good influence on the fortunes of the
Republican party. The party thrives
on prosperity. Some of the great in
dustries are complaining that they
cannot get enough men to run their
works. No longer does the man have
to seek the job. The job is now
seeking the man. Fewer idle men
are in the country now than at any
previous time within the easy
recollection of the average person.
With the abundant yield of all sorts
of food products there ought to be
a reduction in the high cost of living
this fall and winter. The cry, Cant
handle the traffic" which was some
what familiar five or six years ago.,
is being heard again in the west,
where the railroads are buster than
they have been in the recent past.
The necessity of getting additional
rolling stock and general equipment
by the leading railroads is largely
responsible for the thrush of orders
to the steel mills. In the past a
situation of this kind usually herald
ed a great victory for the Republican
party.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?

A pretty definite answer to that
query was furnished by the govern
ment's crop report. The outlook is
even better than it was a month ago,
when the best cereal yield eyer har-
vested was forecast, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The report
covers corn, spring wheat, oats, bar
ley, buckwheat, potatoes, rice, apples,
hay and a few other products, and
the story which 1t tells of nearly all
of them makes very agreeable read
ing. The $4,000, 000, 900 mark in
value of aggregate yield of farm pro-
ducts of all kinds, which was limited
at in the report a month ago, seems
to be assured. This is not only a
larger total than has ever before
been reached in the United States
but it is far better than anything
noted in any other country of the
world in any year.
Wall street failed to respond to
the good news from the farms. al
though it read the news before the
close of the market. This is of no
consequence, however. Just now
Wall street is a little dubious about
the outlook in national politics.
The uncertainty as to the outcome in
pense bothers the big market. 1t can
adjust itself to almost any news,
but it wants certainty, whether it be
bad or good. The favorable news
which is coming from the steel mills
has been discounted. 1t is an old
