K call for a meet ins of farmers to
assemble at the town of Sterling on
Saturday, Sept. 22nd, has been issued
The purposi stated in the call is
to secure the election of a farmer to
represent the u.lrd district in the
constitutional convention. This is a
very laudable purpose and it is with
pleasure that the Constsitutlon noli-is
the first niune attached to the call Is
that of so representative a farmer a
Charles U. Selby. These movements
are always for the Interests of the
masses as against the classes, but un-
fortunately often designing men
with no interest in common with
the producers butt Into them and use
the good purposes of their fellows for
selfish ends But wlih the name of
a man so Inured to toll at the head
of the list as friend Selby ti would seem
that there will be litue cim.ice for
this movement to fal into the hands
of wicked and designing men. This
newspaper does no' believe that the
membership ol the constitutional
convention should be made up entire-
ly of lawyers as it has known some
limbs of the law to suggest. No one
need have any anxiety about the
members of the legal profession be-
ing slighted, they will take care of
themselves. If a sufficient number
sensible farmers and business men can
be sent to the constitutional conven-
tion to furnish a balance wheel for
that body It will be well. It is to
be hoped that whatever action the
meeting at Sterling may take w ill be
along practical lines. Any effort to
raise teh standard of the membership
of the fundamental law making body
of the new stale must be commend-
ed.
The people have always regarded
Maine and Vermont as haroni tecs
showing which wny the wind
blows. It is claimed that whenever Ver-
mont gives a republican majority i.t
September of over 25,000, the sin e
goes Republican in November, and
whenever it is less than that the
state goei democratic. There has
been, according to the New York
Kvenlng Post, only one devia-
tion from this rule. If this be'
so. then the country should elect a I
Democratic house in November, as
the republicans have carried the |
state by a greatly reduced majority. I
But Maine Is also a barometer j
that is supposed to indicate the gen-
enra' drift. In 1900 McKinley car-
j ried the state by 2S.000, and in 1904
Roosevelt got 36.000 majority. This

Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 18.—For
six or eight hours upward of 200 men.
women and children were cut off from
the mainland in imminent peril while
the cottage, hotel and railroad proper-
ty was damaged to the extent of
ten thousand dollars by a fierce north-
east storm which swept Wrightsvllle
beach, nine miles east of Wilmington
Monday. The -storm reached the zen
ith of its fury between 0 and 7 o'clock
Muoday morning. Hundreds of cot-
tagers received their first intimation
of danger upon awakening Monday
morning to find breakers sweeping
clear across tne beach to the sound
aud rolling high up on the mainland,
two miles beyond. Five trolley cars
brought a nuuibir of flEuly risers
across tho sound on the trestle by
which It is reached, while the waves
swept the trestle. Those left at tho
beach were afraid to cross the trestle
which gave way immediately after the
last car reached the mainland. The
storm increased until noon, when the
rescue work was begun.
Surf boats were sent across the
channel at great risk, bringing first
the women and children, then later
the nun, the last of the number be.
ing brought over at 5 o'clock Monday
afternoon. Sheriff Frank Steadman
was among those caught at the beach
aud at o ce swore In a number of
deputies who closed the bar-rooms
aud patrolled the beach to prevent
looting of the places there. At Caro-
lina beach, further down the main
land, there was some damage to cot-
tages. but the residents had left tl^ere
the day before on notice of falliug
barometer. At Southport, at the
mn ith of the Cape Fear river, the
ht-rbor craft had a narrow escape
from the storm, several of the passen-
ger boats being damaged.

At 9 o'clock the governor, accompa

citizens proceeded to the Juarex thea

ing of the declaration of independence
and the singing of the national hymn
by a prominent vocalist.
Band concerts were given on the
various plazas during the afternoon

marched through the principal streets
of the city. There was not the slight-

St. Petersburg, Sept. IS.—Gen. Tre-
poff. feeling relieved of the trying
duty of protecting his Imperial mas-
ter. who left last Thursday on a
cruise to Bjorko. nt 5 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon retired to his cabinet
to rest and gave orders that he
should not be disturbed until dinner
was served. When at half past 7
o'clock dinner was announced, Gen.
Trepoff did not answer the call, and
finally a member of his staff at 8
o'clock knocked at the door of his
cabinet. Receiving no reply, he en-
tered and found the general lying
stretched out at the foot of his conch
with a newspaper in his hand, dead.
It was plain that he had died shortly
after he retired to the cabinet and
had been lying for three hours where
he fell. Although he died a natural
death, the threat of the revolutionists
last winter that he would not die by
being shot or blown up with a bomb,
but would be killed in his own bei.
Is clearly brought to mind.
Gen. Orloff. who was Gen. Tre-
poff s temporary successor while
Trepoff was taking a short rest re-
cently, will be succeeded by Gen De
Dloulin. ex-prefect of police of St.
Petersburg, as temporary command-
ant of the palace, the emperor hav-
ing telegraphed this order from
Bjorko. The appointment, however,
is in no wise permanent.

Described*
Columbus, O., Sept^ 15. With ft |
panic threatened in a crowd estimated
at 50,000 people, surging abo the
stand erected in the capltol grounds,
frantic to secure a glimpse of Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, the president
daughter, the exercises arranged for
the dedication of the McKinley monu-
ment were suddenly terminated Fil
day afternoon after the statue of the
martyred president had been hurried-
ly unveiled by Mrs. Longwarth.
The programme of exercises which
had been arranged for the unveiling
of the monument was carried out at
Memorial hall In the evening.
The two principal orators of the
occasion were Justice William K.
Day, of the United States supreme
court and United States Senator John
W. Daniel, of Virginia. Gen. R. B.
Brown, of Zanesville, O., head of the
grand army, and Gen. Joseph
Kay, past national commander of the
Union Veterans legion also spoke.
The splendid memorial may be
termed the poor man's tribute to the
late president, as half of the funds
were secured largely by popular sub-
scription through the Columbus Dis-
patch. The legislature appropriated
$25,000 of the *50,000, which the mem-
orial cost. Herman A. McNeil, the
noted sculptor of New York, famed
for his work of the Axne lean Indian,
executed the likeness.
The memorial is in the form of a
semi-ctrele, In the center of which is
the pedestal, surmounted by a figure
of the dead president, nine feet, four
inches in height. On either side of
the semi-ci:.le are allegorical pieces.

to be the only piece, with the excep-
tion of one other, of Its kind ever
used. On the front of the pedestal

"ival of John L. Sullivan in
jsterday formed a lively top-
aversation. Old and joung
kn John L. • he requires no
introduction. Few names are mor<
widely known throughout the country.
Many of his admirers claim that John
L. is the best pugilist that e< er en-
tered a ring or caputred a belt What-
ever may be said of him, his record
for fairness in fighting stands him in
good stead.
Mr. Sullivan received a represen-
tative of the Constitution in a very
cordial manner at the Keegan yester-
day afternoon, and talked interesting-
ly ou many subjects.. national and
local. He was reclining on A small
iron bed • ■ that seemed hardly
strong enough '.o hold his immense
frame, and was reading the Saturday
Evening Post. Clad in an athletic
shirt, his huge arms bare, he looked
the picture of strength and health, as
if he might step into the ring now
and give an account of himself,but
for his corpulency.
"This is a great country," he said,
a little rough riding on your lines
of railroads, but I suppose the road
beds are not well settled."
He spoke very enthusiastically about
Oklahoma City, and was much im-
pressed with its metropolitan aspect.
"There should be more of the din-
ner pail boys, however, and I am
doubtful about their water supply."
He had just arrived in J.awton and
had seen little of the city. "I under-
stand youhave gas and oil here, and
that this will be a great town."
He deplored the fact that with such a
valuable staple as cotton, the railroad
and shipping interests should com-
mand so large a revenue therefrom
and the citizens of this locality be
compelled to pay the same when they
bought the product, which had been
raised here and manufactured in Eng-
land. He thought the papers mis-
represented Bryan in his attitude to-
ward the railroads. "They should be
owned if it was practicable, but what
is more important, they should be
regulated. Why, in Europe there
are regular rates through an entire
country, but here they are different,
in different states." Mr. Sullivan be-
lieves there should be national con-
trol of these things for systematic
regulation. He said it was impossible
to affect the Standard Oil Co., and
other trusts under our present sys-
tem, and our laws should be so
changed that the government could be

of the opinion that Roosevelt and
Bryan were much alike in many re-
spects. "Roosevelt is a good man,
but his principles are all democratic."
"Roosevelt and Bryan for the presi-
dency!" It would make a warm cam-
paign, but Roosveelt will not run agaii
