GALVESTON. TEX. April al
The freight steamer Ell Sud, Of the

Sud was badly hurt. r IT ; 80 r.. e
The crash occurred about fifteen
miles OF the Bolivar light. For q
time II was feared that the Ell Sud
would sink. The Ell Sud raced for the
shore and was beached on Galveston
bar. She was saved from sinking by
her forward bulkhead having with
stood the thrush OF the sea AZ the
bow plates were ripped OF.
Rush For Life PreeeryerA.
There were about ono hundred pas
sengers on the Denver and q crew Of
seventy. There was a wild raas1 for
life preservers and the iifeboats ~
the Denver after the crash, but Cap
tain Charles p. Staples and First Of
flcer Lamb succeeded In quietinG the
excited passengers.
The dense fog alone is responsible
for the crash. The Denver was
bound for Galveston from New York
after midnight. Speed was reduced
and the vessel was making little more
than eight knots an hour when the Ell
Sud was struck.
The Ell Sud. carrying crew Of sew
enty. was bound for New York with q
maximum cargo, and was also under
reduced speed. Her conductor. Cap
tain Forbes. had doubled the look

Six OF the crew OF the Ell Sud
were standing at the port side OF the
weasel well toward the bow when the
two steamship struck. They were all
hurled across the deck. Three Of
them went overheard. Only one OF
the men could swim. He WAS picked
up half an hour later badly injured.
Boats thar put out from both the Uen-
yer and the Ell Sud searched for the
other two until daylight. but no trace
of them was found.
Many of the women aboard the pas
senger carrying steamship. became
hysterical. but after Captain sta piles
and his first officer had made hasty
survey Of the damaged bow they re-
turned to the promenade deck to as
sure the pass that there was no
danger.

JOHN N. HAlNES.

The Herald did not support John M.
Haines In his campaign for the repub-
lican gubernatorial nomination but its
attitude toward the nominee during
the primary canvas was such that 1t
can now enthusiastically endorse his
candidacy. John M. Haines earned
the honor which he has received at
the hands of the republican party.
He Is rightfully entitled to the nomi-
nation as a reward for his service
to his party and his state. In his
life of almost quarter of century
In Idaho, he has been put to the test
and he has not been found wanting.
He Is worthy of being called a pio-
neer and empire builder, for in his
almost % years of residence here.
he had been doing things which have
not only been profitable to himself
but OF lasting benefit to the people.
1t Is well that the citizens have thus
selected man as candidate for
governor. whom they know will ad-
minister the affairs of state in a
businesslike manner, because of his
success as an individual, and 1t is
we'll that a pioneer should be given
recognition in this manner.-Spirit

And now 1t develops that the Greer
boy who received the severe flogging
at the st. Anthony state industrial
school, and about which such Juror
has been kicked up, is, according to
his teacher in Lewiston, real in
corrigible, and as a spinner of yarns
a regular Jules Verne. Undoubtedly
he got badly threshed, possibly brut-
ally so, as the marks left on his
person would indicate. and possibly
there are some other matters In con-
nection with the institution that
should be looked into, but all of the
harsh criticism, the great scare heads,
and the speculative deductions which
have been INDUCED In so freely are
needless, and only tend to bring our
state into unfavorable notoriety with
the outside world. We. have a board
OF trustees and directors supposed to
be honest and competent citizens,
with whom are associated the gov
ernor and state superintendent of
schools, who are pledged to investi-
gate the case and protect the inter
ests of the inmates and the honor of
the state, and 1t is well enough to
allow them to do so without engen-
dering public sentiment against the
institution and it's management. The
citizens of St. Anthony and large
number of the inmates of the insti-
tuition are Loyalty defending the pres
ent superintendent of the home,
against the many unjust charges from
outside eounces.

The state sanitary inspector at
his recent visit to this city served
notice on the city council that
they must see that all sewer con-
nection be made and outbuildings
removed without further delay,
and that they will be held re-
sponsible for seeing that this or
der is obeyed in the interest of
the health of the community. The
city is loath to work a hardship

A CLEAN RECORD.

The primary election has gone into
history and Whitebird has almost
forgotten that such a campaign has
been gone through. No precinct was
ever so united as this one as shown
by the results Of the 30th. When
standing together as Whitebird did
on county division, nothing but good
can result Only one ballot was cast
for division and that by a man who
resides outside of the precinct but
who registers and votes here for con-
venience. Such shakeup always re-
suits in much good to a community
and has tendency to bring an end
to all old personal quarrels and pet
ty jealousies. Whitebird has reaped
rich benefit and our citizens are
one, as never before, on anything for
the community benefit.-Sun.

fIom the very first time he met him,
but there wa! no abuse of any other
candidate INDUCED in by this paper
to secure the nomination Of Mr..

that we considered the other candi-

do not believe In building up the po-
