Columbia, Sept. 26.-After consul
tation with prominent members IF
the Reform faction in Columbia to-
day. Col. Wa A.. James of Bishopvil,e.
one of the leaders of the Reform
party in Lee county, today issued the
following call for a convention of the
Reform faction to be held in CO.
lumbia on Thursday, October 1S:
II hereby call for a convention Of
the Reform faction of the Democratic
party. to be held on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 1S, in Columbia. During the
campaign just passed, appeals were
made to save civilization as was
done in 1876, when negro domination
was the issue. Men have been
heard to justify questionable methods
at the ballot box upon the same
grounds as when dealing with ne
groes in 1876, and now it is up to us,
and is our duty, to hold a great con-
vention and demonstrate that we are
as, good white men as are those who
contemptuously stigmatize the bone
and sinew of this State as 'Bleaseites.'
and for the further purpose of in
creasing our faith in and con-
secrating our efforts to the con-
tinuance Of the struggle for the prin-
ciples upon which we stand.
II suggest that each Democratic
club send one true and tried Reformcr
as delegate to this convention.
"All newspapers who have any of
the kind of people as subscribers.
please publish one time.

dent and damages.
An application from s. L. Brunson
requesting exemption from street
taxes In view Of the fact that he had
been a member of the Sumter Light
Infantry until disqualified from going
to the border on his physical exami-
nation was received and acted on ia
vorably.
| The City Clerk reported that he had
received answers to inquiries as to
street sweeping machines. He was in
structed to secure further information
on the subject Of costs of such ap-
paratus.
1t was stated by member of
council that there was a defect in the
construction of the curb on Kendrick
street and the engineer was directed
to have the contractors remedy the
defect.
At the suggestion of Maj. Lee it was
decided to have poles of the Sumter
Lighting Company and OF the Sumter
Telephone Company Of uniform
size and heighth and require them to
paint the poles. The clerk was di-
rected to write to the two concerns
advising them of this action and in
form them that in future all new
poles must be submitted to the city
authorities. who would pass on them
before the erection would be allowed.
The city finances received a due
share Of attention. Means of securing
funds for meeting the city's present
expenses and of obtaining additional
resources and income to reduce the
city's Indebtedness wore discussed, as
was the statutory limit of bonded. in
debtednesa with view Of paving mora
streets and sidewalks under the abut-
ting property plan. It was estimated
that 100000 would be available for
this purpose on The assessed valuation
of property this year. At the same
'ime that the assessed valuation was
increasing. The city's expenses were

tion.

private detective agencies to protect
their employees in coming and going
from their places of business and i'll
the delivery of goods" says the
grand jury report. "The employees of
these agencies are in many cases
mere professional sluggers, with the
result that union pickets are at
tackled for parading the streets in
front of the places where they for
merly worked and trying to dissuade
those who have taken their places
from working.
''ln the latter cases of Vio-
Ience we had evidence to prove
that uniformed policemen were
in some manner so influenced to
the side of these detective
sIuggers that they would turn
their backs while an assault was
being made, and if they made an
arrest at all they would arrest
the victims instead of the perpe-
traitors of the assault.
I'VE had no sufficient evidence
connecting employers with respon-
SibiIity for these occurrences, but it
is an outrage that any one, be he
striker or not, should be so treated
by the police, to whom he has right
to look for protection.
at is the business of the police to
stop disorder by whomsoeVer COM
mitted, and it is the duty of the chief
and superior officers of the depart
ment to see that such action on the
part of patroImen, as above describ-
ed, is severely punished"
Joseph w. Steele, an employee of
the Shippy, Hunt & Dorman detective
agency, was witness before the
grand jury. During the garment
strike an affidavit of Steele was made
public. He stated he got orders from
L. w. Fitzgerald, general manager of
the agency, and from two foremen of

William A. Guinea, attorney for
garment strikers, said he had expect
ed the evidence would be strong
enough for indictments to be return
ed against certain employers.
Progress comes slowly, however"
he said. "And guess it's going a
long ways in Cook county when we

credit on the police department for
strikebreaking services"

HOME WEDDING
MISS ELSA ROHRER BECOMES
WIFE OF BENJAMIN III. JUNG
TO RESIDE HERE.

Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock a
pretty home wedding occurred
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Rohrer, when their daughter Elsa be
came the bride of Benjamin II. Jung.
About fifty guests were present to
witness the ceremony, which was per
formed by the Rev. Mr.. Pfeiffer.
They we're attended by the groom's
brother, Edwin Jung, and a sister of
the bride, Clara Rohrer. Mendels-
sohn's wedding march was played by
Fred Schrepel. The bride wore a
white crepe de chine made in a prin-
cess effect, with a tunic caught up at
one side in soft folds. The veil was
held in place by white sweet peas.
She carried a bouquet of white rose
buds. The bridesmaid wore a pink
crepe de chine with an under blouse
of white silk net. She wore a corsage
bouquet of pink and white sweet
peas. The house was decorated with
pink and white carnations and smi-
lax. A screen of dark green served
as a background for the bridal eou-
pie. with white streamers from the
light fixtures to h orner Thereon,
forming a canopy. Lattice work in
white formed an arch in each door
way which was entwined with smilax.
In the dining room a fern was sus-
pended from the light fixture, also
streamers of white wound with smi-
lax which were fastened TO the table.
Following the ceremony a three
course dinner was served, friends of
the bride acting as walters. The
groom has been managing his moth
er's farm during the past year and
is known as one of the popular young
men of the vicinity. The happy cou-
pie will go to housekeeping on a farm
two miles west and half a mile north
of the city limits. The out of town
guests were Mrs. E. E. Sudan and
son Of North Dakota.

DEATH OF AGED LADY
MRS. ELLEN IINANE DIED AT
4:30 O'CLOCK THIS
MORNING.

Mrs. Ellen Linane, aged 90 years,
died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. James Fitzpatrick, 1907 Jose
phine avenue, at 40 o'clock this
morning. Deceased had been con
fined to her bed most of the time the
past two years, but suffered little
pain and passed quietly away, the re-
suit of a complete breaking down OF
her physical powers. She had made
her home with her daughter and hus-
band the past seventeen years, com
ing to Madison six years ago, by
whom she was carefully nursed in her
last illness. The remains were taken
TO Hallenbeck's undertaking parlors
and prepared for burial and Saturday
morning will be taken to Rock Val
ley, Ia, and inferred beside her late
husband.

and from that time on the rise con
tinued.
The Milwaukee roadbed was mum
dated on the lowlands between Yank-
ton and Vermillion and early in the
afternoon an order was issued discon-
t%inuing services on the Elk Point
Yankton-Mitchell line until further
notice. This was followed in the
early evening by abandoning of all
trains on the Northwestern and Great
Northern lines entering the city, tray
ell upon them having been made un-
safe by overflow from the James
river being added to the flood of the
Missouri, as a result of a gorge be
tween Gayville and Yankton.
The family of II. w. Shipton, two
miles east of Yankton, in attempting
to rescue their cattle from the ap-
preaching flood were caught by the
rapidly rising waters and were saved
from drowning by rescuing parties
who came to their assistance in boats.
Many other cases of a less serious
nature have been reported and much
stock is said to have been lost.
Informed observers say that the
river has reached the highest point
i'm thirty years and it was prophesied
last evening that there would be a
further rise about midnight last night
when the water which has been held
by a gorge near Running Water
reached the city.
