According to a report received at the City of Mexico Thursday the au thorities have captured and impris oned eighteen more of the revofu tionbts suspected of having taken part in the attack on1 Las Vacas last week. There is much suppressed feeling and what was at first thought to be a mere display has grown to be a serious revolution against the government. A dispatch from Austin, Texas, says that a party of Austin residents composed of Jacob Hirschfield, Fred Jackson, Elmer Rutherford, James Carlisle, Mac Blocker and Edward Cahlich, returned to Austin after a hunting trip into Mexico. When they approached the border they were advised to wear white hanker chiefs about their hats to show their neutrality, and had to produce their passports very often. The situation is quite interesting as well as serious," said Mr. Ruther ford. "The most interesting feature is the effort of the government to suppress the revolutionists and put sufficient ginger into the regular troops and the Rangers to.do it. The next outbreak will likely be in the vicinity of Torreon." MYSTERIOUS KILLING. Engineer Dies From Bullet Wound Without Telling Circumstances. Bleeding to death from a mysteri ous bullet wound in his left leg, B. M.

At Chester, Pa., after calling his wife and declaring he intended kill ing her and their baby, James Wood fired a bullet through his brain Tuesday, dying almost instantly.

He said: "I am going to shoot you; then I am going to kill the baby and my self." .Mrs. Wood, with great presence ot mind, replied: "Well, just wait till I call mamma; you may as well kill us all while you are about it." The ruse was successful.

Crushing Methods Emplyed in the Convention Left Many Sore Spots? The Slap at Union Labor. ? ' By WILL'S J. ABBOT/ The Republican convention ended amid bickering, hard feelings, disap pointed ambitions and a sense of out rage on the part of the minority lead ers. It would be difficult to exagger ate the amount of discontent which the Republican convention has left among Republican politicians. It is of course impossible to mention names, but-, every Washington correspondent who has been here in Chicago and who knows the Washington ? leaders, has stored away in his mind the acrimoni ous utterlngs of morethan one of the great figures at the capital concerning the methods of the convention and the character of the ticket Where Presi dent Roosevelt could have obtained the opinion that Taft would be a popular candidate is difficult to imagine. He could not have got it from the leaders in the house or in the senate or the old time leaders in Republican or doubtful states. He could not have got It through the time honored method of feeling the pulse of the people, for such popular enthusiasm as there was and is for Taft has been manufactured at heavy financial expense and by the use of the power of the federal gov ernment through its officeholders. Iu separating to go their various ways the Republican leaders, with the exception of the little ring who han dled the steam roller that crushed old time Republicanism out of recognition, complained 'bitterly of these wrongs: The flagrant and open intervention of the administration to force the nomi nation of a member of the president's official family and thereby perpetuate in fact if not in name the Roosevelt dynasty; the methods by which the majority in the national committee and the majority on the floor of the con vention ignored the rights of the mi nority and carried through a cut and dried programme with a heavy hand; the platform, which was writtea at Washington and concerning w hich the old time leaders of the party had no more to say than the pages who car ried messages about the aisles of the convention hall, and the summary side-j tracking of the tried and true war horses of the party in order to make place for new blood, new men and new ideas. Nobody can overestimate the extent to which today these thiugs are resent ed. But it Is not for Democrats to rely too much upon the present unrest in the Republican party, for dissension in that organization is apt to die out be fore election day. It is for us rather to close our own ranks and to proceed as though we were to meet an enemy united, strong and confident of victory. The Convention's Best Moment. The one real burst of unmanufac tured enthusiasm came whet; a man almost unkuown to national politics rose at the end of the roll call of states to nominate hopelessly La Fo'-1 lette of Wisconsin. There was no chance for the nomination of his chief, no confronted a body of delegates! pledged to Taft and who represented an Investment in preliminary cam paigning of more than three-quarters of a million dollars. He spoke without effort or oratorical effect but he set forward clearly and calmly the three planks iu the La Follette programme which the Republican party in Con vention assembled had refused to adopt. Even among the delegates who were tied hand and foot by instruc tions Iiis earnestness and the way in which he expounded the nature and purposes of these planks aroused en thusiasm. The galleries blazed with joy, nud save that the officers of the convention and the Taft leaders on the floor put'out their utmost endeavors to check the outbreak the demonstration for La Follette would have equaled that for either, Taft or Roosevelt. There is significance in this?double BURGr, S. C. FRIDAY,-JT ROUND AND ROUND. slgniflca nee. uo not rorget mat senacor La Follette Is yet a young man as pbf itlcs goes, having reached his fifty third birthday the day before this con vention assembled. He still holds his state organization and the devoted sup port of a vast majority of the voters of Wisconsin. Very wisely?and T say this as a lifelong Democrat-^he tele graphed to the nominee of his party his assurance of his support of the ticket, but explicitly reserved his right to crit icise the platform. How useful Sen ator La Follette's aid under these cir cumstances may be to Mr.-Taft is yet to be determined, but the support thus extended keeps La Follette ''regular.'' and when about four years.from no'?' we observers of politics gather-at.an other Republican convention, the "little giant" of Wisconsin will be a factor to be reckoned with. jJj Toe Famous Three Planks. Before this campaign is over there is going to be much said in debate on the stump and in the newspapers concern ing the three planks of the La Follette platform which, were offered for-a spe cial vote on the floor of the convention and each one of which was voted down by the well disciplined forces of Taft. Reduced to essentials, these were the planks: First.?Compulsory publication of all campaign contributions, with the names of..'the contributors. Second.?The official valuation of th? physical properties of lxttentate rail roads. ' Third.?The election of United States renutora by direct vote of the people. The Republican party haa gone on record as opposing all three of these propositions. A convention which proudly boasted that It was dominated by President Roosevelt voted down these planks, although some months ago Mr. Roosevelt urged In a message to congress the publicity of all cam paign contributions and the valuation of railroad property. It is true that as the time for election drew near neither of these issues was mentioned in the volley of presidential messages to con gress, and the influence of the presi dent was not exerted In the slightest degree to save either measure, which he had earlier recommended, from the hostility of his friends at Chicago. What it all means is so clear that a mere statement of conditions leads to the inevitable inference. The Repub lican party faces in this campaign a crisis in its existence. It is at odds with the people. It goes to the country with a record of extravagant incompe tence und impotence In two successive congresses absolutely controlled by Its leader. It Is torn wftfi Internal strife, and Its leaders greet each other with smiles on their lips and hate In their hearts. But it looks back to the days of 1S9C and remembers that it has been schooled in the art of winning elections by the brute force of money. So it nominates a ticket intended to produce money. It puts at the head Tnft, one of whose brothers controls all the public utilities of Cincinnati and who is in touch with all the financiers of the Ohio valley. Another brother is the attorney for the Guggen heim brothers, who created and now possess the smelter trust and who next to the Standard Oil company are the strongest plutocratic force In the Unit ed States. Having enthroned Taft, the convention proceeded to nominate for vice president James S. Sherman of New York, himself a rich man, the as sociate of Wall street magnates and a man generally credited with having raised that ?24G.C00 from insurance companies and speculative bankers which Roosevelt asked bis "practical" friend, Mr. Harriman. to get for use in the last two days of the 1904 cam paign. I Does any one think that a party so openly bidding for contributions from high financiers would declare for pub licity in its financial methods? The men from whom the Republican party will seek to get Its funds are the men who either own railroads or gamble in their stocks. If the party asks for an official valuation of the physical properties on which those stocks and bonds are based, what chance would it have of getting contri butions from this class of financiers? The whole strategy is as clear to the intelligent mind as a polished piece of rock crystal, -future of th^.L^EkUfittfi- Planks.. JLY 3, 1908. ?Macauley in New York World. t am' not a member of the Denver convention nor of the national commit tee, but I think that the three planks thus coldly set aside here at Chicago -will find a place in the Denver plat form, doubtless with the verbiage changed, but with the sense still.re tained. They represent really "Demo cratic doctrine. Mr. Bryan has long preached the doctrine of the direct election of senators by tfce people and alone among the presidential possibili ties of this country on either party side appeared before the house committee on the election of president and vice president and made a stirring appeal for the campaign publicity bill which was killed by Cannon in congress and here again. I have no personal knowledge of Mr. Bryan's position on the third plank, 'iave that bis paper, the Com moner, commended heartily the propo sition made In congress for the phys ical valuation of telegraph lines, and. writing from memory only without the documents before me, I think it also approved the valuation of the railways. Tho Anti-injunction Plank. "After nominating Taft, one of 'the first exponents of government by in junction, nominating him the morning after thousands of organized laborers paraded the streets of Chicago and held a meeting of protest against such ac tion, the Republican convention adopt ed, after a bitter fight in the commit tee on resolutions, what they called an anti-injunction plank. It has been re pudiated by every prominent labor leader gathered in the convention city. It means the revolt of union labor against this ticket, for the nomination of Taft and the cavalier rejection of the planks offered by Samuel Gompers and by officials of the railroad brother hood were neatly rounded out by the nomination for vice president of Sher man, who led the fight/against any anti-injunction plank whatsoever. Here again is opportunity for the Demo cratic national convention to profit by the folly, or worse, of its rival. f Concerning That Platform. There has been an ambition on the part of many men in the Democratic councils to make the Denver platform brief, succinct and limited to the decla ration of mere fundamental principles, leaving it to the speakers in the cam paign to elaborate and expound. This is not an easy end to accomplish. Ev erybody wauts something in the plat form, and everybody wants his own particular something set forth In his own oratorical and finely rounded pe riods. Mr. Bryan used to 3ay that the ideal platform would be one that could be printed on a postal card, but that is an Ideal practically impossible of ful fillment. When the Republican plat form was printed, scores of men In pol itics and In Journalism whose business It was to read the platform scoffed at Its length and said that they had not had time to read It. Better a short platform that can be memorized than a long one which only the proofreader will ever read through. Chicago. > TILLMAN FOR SECOND PLACE. Senator's Name May be Presented for Vice Presidency at Denver. Gen. Wllie Jones, chairman of the State Democratic committee, stated .Monday that he had considered that the South Carolina delegation should present the name of Senator Tillman to the Convention for Vice Presi dent, and he thinks it is possible that this will be done. The nomina tion would lie purely complimentary, of course, as Senator Tillman has gone to Europe to rest until after the close of the campaign and would not if nominated, be able to partici pate in the campaign at all on ac count of the serious condition of his health. However his name may be presented. Killed Mis Father-in-Law. A dispatch from Eastman, Ga.. says early Monday morning C. G. Powell shot and killed W. C. Wo mack, his father-in-law. who lived on the Ogburu place, near Leon, this county. Eye witnesses sav that Powell fired in self-defence. No arrest has been made. SAVES BOY IN RIVER. Engineer Plunges Into Stream and Pulls Boy Oat. A dispatch from Fon Du Lac, Wis?, says bringing his fast express train to a sudden stop to leap from his cab and plunge into the yaters of Mud creek, Engineer J. A. Tynan,1 by a quick swim and dive, achieved a thrilling rescue of a drowning boy Thursday. Tynan is a passenger engineer on the Wisconsin Central, and when ap proaching Mud creek, near Hillbert Junction, on his run from Manitowoc to Neenah, he caught sight of the lad seated midway on the bridge, Ashing, wholly oblivious of the ap proaching danger. There was an in stant closing' of the throttle and an application of the air brakes, but before the train could be stop ped the bridge had been passed. The boy, in his fright, either jumped in to the water or was swept off by the train. When Tynan leaped from his en gine the little fellow was struggling In the stream below, absolutely help less. The engine driver plunged down the bank into the water, wad ing, swimming and finally diving to reach the boy, and, emerging a few moments later with his victim al most exhausted. . * WAITED ON WIFE TO AWAKE. Demented Husband Thought Dead Woman Was Only Sleeping.

Tiers, former discount clerk of the First National Bank of Pitts burg, Pa., was arrested late Thurs day on an afOdavite made bby Na tional Bank Examiner Wm. L. Folds charging him with the abstraction of about $51,000 of the bank's funds. Tiers furnished bail in the sum of ? 10.000 for appearing. AH the money was taken from the bank form February 8, 1406; to July 6, 190G. Shortly after that time the bank officials learned of the irregularities and dismissed Tiers. He made partial restitution and turned over to the bank certain col lateral upon which it is stated the in stitution hoped to realize. Nothing was said of the matter at the time and the bank charged off the short age from the surplus. Recently, however, the many bank defalcations occurring in this vicinity resulted in an order being re ceived from Washington, it is said, to prosecute all such cases, and re sulted in the information against Tiers. Since leaving tne employ of thJ bank Tiers has bee nengaged in the real estate business. CALGHT A JAP SPY. He Had Made Drawings of American Forts About New York.
