And in- stead of repelling the invaders the be- sieged propose to turn host and not only invite them to stay a while, but enter- ‘tain them.

BLACKFOOT, Idaho, Aug. 3.—County Attorney Winters of Bannock County came up from Pocatello to-day and placed W. A. Durham under arrest on the c¢harge of murdering E. M. Fritz and J. L.

Plerce of Davisville, pres:dent of the Cal- ifornia Grain-growers’ Association, has just issued a long circular letter to the grain growers of the State. The associa- tion was formed at Sacramento several months ago, but since then little has been heard of it. In his circular Mr. Plerce seeks to ex- plain the cause of seeming apathy. H says that early in the season shrewd busi=’ ness men, grasping the opportunity and working independently, made comprehen- sive arrangements to export grain, and called to their aid a number of experi- enced English buyers. At once war was declared upon this move by the “big four,” and, as a consequence, the farmers are recefving all their grain is worth un- der existing conditions in foreign markets and present freight rates.” This state of affairs makes unnecessary aggressive ac- tion by the association, which is, how- ever, alert and ready to move when. its services are needed. The majority of grain growers in every county north of Tehachapl are members of the association, and President Pierce's letter will be welcomed by them as shed- ding light on a situation they could not nderstand. — e DEATH GIVES SENATOR - QUAY A CLOSE CALL Storm Overtakes Politician While He Is on a Small Craft at Sea. NEW YORK, Aug. 3—The World has this from Atlantic City, N. J.: “United Btates Senator Quay had a narrow es- cape from death to-day. He was out in a little fishing smack enjoying a day's sea sport when one of the most severe storms that has swept the city this summer caught him before he could return to shore. Quay was fishing with his old friend, Captain Ben Sooy, in the fishing smack M. S. Quay. When about ten miles out the storm came up and an effort was made to return to shore. The sea arcse to a dangerous height and the M. 8. Quay, with its namesake aboard, did some queer marine stunts. The tide carried them out to sea and the rain poured down in torrents for more than three hours.

Arper, SMALL TRADING AND LOW PRIGES LONDON, August 3.—The August holi- days, an apathetic publie, and the in- creased démand for money, all tended to make last week on the Stock Exchange a dull one. Once more South Africans at- tracted more attention than usual and, with American shares, formed the bright- | est feature of a listless and falling market. The shipments of gold from New York and the release of several million pounds in dividends are now tending to make money easier, which is halled as favor- able to the long awaited rally. Conti- | nental holders are still continuing to real- ize, however, all along the line and the process of weeding out weak accounts scarcely seems to be concluded. It Ill an open secret that the last settlement would have witnessed more failures but for the fact that the operators secured in- slde assistance. BERLIN, Aug. &—With the excep- tion of the shares of a few domestic rail- roads the Boerse was pronouncedly weak along the whole line last week. Railroads | were strong upon good crop prospects and | rumors of the forthcoming nationaliza- tion of the roads, but even Government securities, which have been active for the ast few weeks, were quite lifeless. All ndustrial securities were sluggish and de- clines were universal. The department stood under the influence of the report of the Schukert Electrical Company of Nuremberg; it was also lnfluencerby the reduction of the dividend of the Bocum Cast Steel Company to 7 per cent as against 13 1-3 per cent last year and the receipt of further reports of the coal trade, which represented conditions to be unsatisfactory. Iron and coal shares de- clined during the week, but not to the ex- tent of the week previous, and last Fri- day and Sunday brought a partial recov- efy in prices. Shares of electrical com- anies fell in sympathy with those of the c'hl{kert Company, the latter losing 94 nts. ng’I‘he Frankfurter Zeitung, commenting upon the report of the Schukert Company, says it shows the evil effects of the sys. | tem which prevailed with electrical man- ufacturing companies during the boom of unduly pushing the organization of trac- tion and lighting plants in order to make work for themselves and also of taking shares in such plants. rr——————— FAMED VENETIAN CHURCH IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE Thunder Clap Wrecks Great Window Accident Causes Pioneer’s Death. ‘NEVADA CITY, Aug. 3 — Willlam Copren, one of Slerra County’s pioneers, met with a tragic death near his home at remarkable young players will be seen and heard.

The mysterious discovery was made while laborers were engaged in excavat- ing a sub-cellar below tane fioor of the basement for a new heating apparatus. After going down about ten feet a massive | stone vauit was encountered. It proved to be what was apparently the foundation walls of an old house that had evidently | stood on the same spot where the White House was afterward erected. In this same excavation was found a large oven imbedded in a stone wall and near the oven were the human bones. It was the discovery of the bones in conjunction with the oven that terrorized the work- men and caused them to believe that they had unearthed an ancient tomb. During the tearing-out process many other interesting discoveries have been | made. For instance, m_the famous east ! room evidences of the fire of 1814, when the mansion was partly destroyed by the British, were disclosed. As the walls | were cut out for the piacing of new iron beams and supports pieces of old charred timbers were found, having been burned oft close up to the stone walls and left undisturbed when the portion which was | burned’ was reconstructed. According to experts, the outside walls of the White House are of excellent con- struction and said to be more substantial than those of modern times. Fault is found, however, with some of the interior brick arches and construction of olden times. Some of the latter were found to be dangerously weak and in a state of decay. In a few places the old founda- tion was opened and found to be in need of repair. New retaining walls have been erected to brace up the weak places so that there need be no further apprehen- sion about the foundation of the White ' House being insecure.

He killed Miss Brannigan because she refused to marry nim, pawning his overcoat to buy the revolver with which to shoot her. After shooting her Halle awaited the offi- cers, and when they arrived he was calm- Iy rolling a cigarette. Death of Mrs. Susan Wright.

Quotes Liberally From the Speechss of McKinley and Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—The Republl- can text book for the campaign of 1903 has been issued by the Republican Con- gressional committee. The book, which | is in pamphlet form containing 380 pages, | makes liberal quotations from the speech- | es of both McKinley and Roosevelt and extracts from their messages to Congress | in suppert of the Republican doctrine. The book reviews the record of the Re- publican party from its beginning to the present time. Under the heading “Pro- tection and Prosperity,” eighty-one pages are devoted to advocacy of protection. Twenty pages are devoted to the trusts and, in opening the discussion, the book thus deseribes the attitude of the two parties: The attitude of the two great parties on the trust_question is clearly defined. That of tne Democratic party looks to constant agitation, With_no restrictive legisiation. Members of the Republiehn party favor such restriction as will prevent arbitrary advance in prices or re- duction in wages through exclusive control, but not the destruction by lexislation or in- jury by fletitious agitation of lexitimate terprise through the great manufacturing Sy tem by which production is cheapened, prices of manufactures reduced and permanency of smployment assured. Following this is the record of the Re- publican party on the trust questiom, mention of the Sherman anti-trust law, JcKinley's recommendation, proposed iegisigtion by the Republicans and a quo- tation from Roosevelt's message to the Fifty-seventh Congress, which 1is des scribed as ‘‘conservative and fearless.” The assertion is made that the share of trusts in business is comparatively small. The book says: The trusts have not occupied a significant place in the manufacturing industries as they have in public discussion. STANDS BY THE RECORD. Further along it is asserted: The Republican administrations of President McKinley and President Rocsavelt have made a good record in their efforts to execute the anti-trust laws. There has been no shirking of duty because of the powerful financial in- fluence behind the trusts. These two Repub- lican Presidents have recognized no man or cornoration above the law. The assertion is made that “free trade England is the home of trusts. Ninety-five pages of the publication are devoted to the Philippine and the Repub- lean insular policy, which includes the early stages of the acquisition, the con- duct of the army, declarations from prominent persons that the Philippines are not ready for independence and a large portion of Admiral Dewey’s testi- mony before the Senate Philippine com- mittee, in which he gave his opinien of Aguinaldo. President Roosevelt's Decor- ation day address, so far as it refers to the conduct of the soldiers in the Philip- pines, is quoted entire. There is some discussion of trade with the insular pos- sessions. More than twenty pages are given to the discussion of the old standard and an outline of the Republican party on finan- cial questions. A chapter is given to diplomacy in the Orient and a declaration is made that “McKinley’s policy saved China from dismemberment.” The declaration by the late Amos J. Cumings: ““When I refuse to protect the lives of American soldiers, 1 hope I shall be paralyzed,” heads a chapter which de- clares that the “Democrats oppose army appropriations.” Reference is made to the repeal of the war taxes. Credit is given the Republican party for the isthmian canal. LIBERTY FOR THE CUBANS. Considerable space is given to Cuba an@ it is asserted “that the groundwork of 3 republican form of government wa* by the United States under a Republican policy.” Liberal quotations are made from Presi- dent McKinley's speech at Buffalo. Ref- erence is made to Republican efforts to revive the American merchant marine. The Fifty-seventh Congress is referred to as a ‘“distinctively business Congress,” and the principal acts of that Congress are mentioned, especial reference being made to the new policy in aid of reclaim- ing the arid lands of the West. The Re- publican party is asserted to be the friend of . the old soldiers and the pension laws it has enacted are enumerated. The claim is made that rural free delivery is due to Republican legislation and administration. In the closing pages of the book is chapter entitled “Democratic Harmony.' Reference is made to the Tilden lub dinner, there being a quotation from ex- President Cleveland’s_ speech and the comments of Willlam J. Bryan and Henry Watterson upon it and the efforts toward Democratic harmony. The book is intended for the use of campaign orators and is designed as an exposition of Republican policies gener- ally. | SERVICES IN HONOR OF THE PATRON SAINT In honor of the feast of St. Ignatius elaborate services were held yesterday morning and evening at St. us Church.
