PRAY of Choteau County For Asso. Justice of Supreme Court— HENRY C. SMITH of Lewis and Clark County Republican Legislative Ticket For Representatives— MOSES ROOT JOHN WENDEL E. D. WEED DR. C. B. MILLER LEON SHAW DR. G. H. BARBOUR J. H. FARMER Tried and True for Principle In every crisis which has confronted this country the black phalanx has always and at all times come up to scratch on the side of right, and more than once have they saved this, our common country from disaster and ruin. In '63 and '64, when the old flag was trailing in the dust and the suggestion of General Butler and other loyal friends of the Negro, and President Lincoln placed in their hands the musket, they responded 150,000 strong, and there was thereafter no question as to the result of the Civil War. Time and again in political contests in the doubtful States of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, etc., they have stood manfully by the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Garrison, et al, and did themselves proud. In '96, when disaster was staring the nation in the face they again proved their integrity and patriotism by carrying the doubtful States of New York, New Jersey and Indiana for Sound Money and protection. In '98 when the Spanish-American War broke out, he too proved his valor. The 9th and 10th Cavalry, 24th and 25th Infantry, scaled the heights of San Juan and Eleaney, and the War was over. In this War black heroes died that the peerless Roosevelt might direct the destinies of this mighty nation. And at this stage of the game the black phalanx, as ever, standing for a principle can be depended upon to stand for those things that this latter-day saviour of mankind stands for, and support all Republican nominees wherein there is a principle at stake. Judge H. C. Smith should and will receive the solid support of our people throughout the State. He is a stalwart Republican of the Abraham Lincoln and Roosevelt type; as a Judge he is impartial to all, and the color of a man's skin cuts no figure with him. Justice is meted out to him just the same as any other man. In all of our wide and varied experience in meeting public men we have never found a more affable and true gentleman than the Hon. H. C. Smith, next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Excerpt from editorial in Washington Bee It is well enough for colored men who live a long distance from the South to talk of the shotgun and what they would do. Why don't some of these brave soldiers go South and make their speeches? The Bee has great confidence in the Editor of the Atlanta Independent. It believes that he is as brave a man as the South can produce, and, brave as he is, would it be wise or judicious for him to advise the thousands of colored people there to commit acts of violence? Must Mr. Washington tell his people to take the torch and burn the houses of the citizens South? If the assailants of the colored man could be reached without doing injury to the innocent, then The Bee would advise the torch and the shotgun. There are thousands of people in the South who are friendly to the colored people, and the day will soon come when the civilized people in the South will be on top and the barbarians will be at the bottom. A vote for Walsh or for the Democratic nominees is an indirect vote for Vardaman, and we say without any hesitancy that any colored voter who would cast his vote for other than the Republican nominees for Congress, and the Legislature is an arch traitor to his race. With a strong pull all together let's pull and vote for Pray and Smith. Some of our good friends may wonder why we are not using ink and sitting up nights writing squibs or boosts for local Republican nominees. We will admit that we have been timid in doing so, and will say that they too have been equally as timid in recognizing our existence. It seems as though some of them at least with fear and trepidation, even speak to those of whom they expect suffrage, and without whose support they stand no show of election. THE PLAINDEALER is a Republican paper, and will at all times and in no uncertain tones support the ticket in so far as issues and principle are concerned. But coming down to local affairs, we at least expect a fair deal before election, as we have learned by past experience what to expect after. We therefore give each individual the credit we think due them, and give them our unstinted support. We have no fight to make on the others, but we certainly have no space, time, or commentation for those who fail to appreciate this people or their enterprises. FROM THE FURTHER- MOST POINTS IN THE UNITED STATES They Say the Plaindealer Has Made Good, and LaCroix's Short- comings Attract Attention THE FOLLOWING LETTER IS SELF-EXPLANATORY: OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL MIRROR, Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 15, 1906 Hon. J. B. Bass, Helena, Montana, Dear Sir: I occasionally pick from our exchange library a rather newsy little Helena, Montana, Friday, October 26, 1906. ALL TINSEL; THE SPOT LIGHT PROVES LA GROIX'S UNDOING. FACTS ARE STUB- BORN THINGS, AND HAVE UNHORSED OUR PRESENT COUNTY ATTORNEY Glittering generalities concerning the tremendous efficiency of La Croix may do for the unthinking; but what the public desires is some reason based upon fact why he should be perpetuated in office. What has he done, and when and where, and especially why? Is it because of his superior efficiency and incorruptibility that the Board of County Commissioners has deemed it necessary during his term of office to employ private counsel to protect the interests of the county in certain litigation, when as a fact he is under the law its sole representative? Is it because he has so organized his office and perfected system therein that in the last two criminal cases tried in the County the complaining witness has found it necessary to hire private counsel to conduct the prosecution. Does his effort to secure an acquittal in the Keerl case, and the charging up of $19.60 therefor to this County spell to the intelligent voter "efficiency"? Does his advice to the sheriff on the new sheriff's mileage law indicate superior qualifications as a lawyer or a desire to protect the taxpayers? Does his view of the law strenuously urged in a certain justice court that one charged with a crime is not entitled to a jury trial, and the securing by him of a ruling to that effect from the justice, which ruling was very promptly set aside in the District Court upon habeas corpus, the application for which writ he did not even have the temerity to resist in the latter Court, indicate honesty of intention and good faith? These are a few pertinent questions the thoughtful voters of this County desire unequivocally answered. What the voters of this County wish to know is whether the saving to them of $600 by the refusal of the Board County commissioners to follow his opinion in the Berry matter is an indication of superior talent as a lawyer on his part, or for that matter any intention to fittingly represent their interests. They do not so much care to know where he was born as they do how he has demeaned himself as a public servant. If he does not dare stand on his record let him say so, and laudatory generalities may then properly become the order of the day. M. B. sheet edited and published in the wilds of Montana. And after perusing on one or more of its articles the style of the same thoroughly convinced me that an old friend and colleague was evidently somewhere in evidence where this journal was being published. Your fight on that County Attorney is a good one, and feeling that you are getting along O K, would beg suggest that you continue. I presume you see my paper The National Mirror. While business is not alarming, we are making a living. Let us hear from you. I remain Respectfully yours, A. W. Harris of a poor and friendless girl LaCroix, and the palpable error to keep her in jail after had been bailed out three severe times, that it appeared a proper case for the prosecution of some of the public officials the County for oppression malfeasance in office? Is the giving of an opinion LaCroix whereby the taxy would have lost $600 had it followed, an indication of a prior "efficiency," "incorruptibility" or "popularity,"—which? J. H. Carmichael and T. Richardson are deserving of support of all classes for O Commissioner, and we have Political Snapshots Was it or was it not one of the District judges of this County who from the bench remarked concerning the repeated prosecution of a poor and friendless girl by LaCroix, and the palpable endeavor to keep her in jail after she had been bailed out three successive times, that it appeared to be a proper case for the prosecution of some of the public officials of the County for oppression and malfeasance in office? Is the giving of an opinion by LaCroix whereby the taxpayers would have lost $600 had it been followed, an indication of superior "efficiency," "incorruptibility" or "popularity."—which? J. H. Carmichael and T. W. Richardson are deserving of the support of all classes for County Commissioner, and we have an abiding faith that they will be triumphantly elected on Nov. 6th. T. W. Richardson, the successful East Helena druggist, is making a winning campaign for County Commissioner for the four-year term, and is deserving of the State Library hearty support of our readers. He is a broad-gauged and progressive citizen who stands for a square deal for all, and not adverse to patronizing business enterprises conducted by our people. When such Republicans as Mr. Richardson aspire to local positions, THE PLAINDEALER cannot do too much in its humble capacity toward their success. Also for one of the Commissioners the voters could not possibly elect a better man than J. H. Carmichael, the Republican nominee for the two-year term; he is one of the County's most successful business men, and their is no question A.J. A. J. LEMKIE Republican Candidate for Constable with Richardson and Carmichael as County Commissioners, but that the affairs of the County would be run on strictly a business basis. Mr. Carmichael has shown a keen interest in the progress of our people, and their enterprise, and appreciating the same we urge a united support for him for this important position. On Monday night the Editor of this paper will address the colored citizens of Anaconda on the issues of the day. Our next issue will be a Special Eight-Page Edition. Be sure and read next week's issue of Thea PLAINDEALER. Chairman Lanstrum must have felt pretty good over the grand success of last Tuesday night's rally at the Auditorium. Last week for the first time we met the Hon. Fletcher Maddox, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, we found him a very pleasant and affable gentleman who is working hard for the success of the Republican Ticket. Mr. Chas. Cooper, the genial Secretary of the County Committee has had a strenuous existence during the last days of the Registration. No one is working harder and more conscientiously for success than he. Voters who feel slighted and feel slighted and think they have been overlooked will now change their minds, as all the candidates will spend next week in canvassing the city.

Vote for Wendel for the Legislature. He is a staunch Republican who believes in a square deal for all. Our people especially should be a man support Dr. C. B. Miller, who is a veteran of the Civil War, and one of the old line Republicans who are at all times interested in our progress. We are of course at all times for the profession, and we urge a united support for Leon Shaw on the Republican Legislative Ticket Moses Root of Canyon Creek continues to run just the same as he did at the Republican Conven- EMKIE A. J. LEMKIE tton, and no doubt will keep the pace, and come in under the wire a winner. He is deserving of the support of all classes. Dr G. H. Barbour is one of the solid Republicans who is in every way worthy of the support of every elector. We need such men as he in the Legislature, and there is no question of his election on Nov. 6th. W. M. Farmer will secure from the voters of the County a hearty support. He is a tried and true Republican and deserves any honor which may be bestowed upon him. The Hon. E. D. Weed is one of the war-horses of Republicanism, and is doing much for the success of Republican principles. Our people could not honor themselves more than by giving him their undivided support. A. J. Lemkie is one of the Republican nominees for Constable. He is a working man, and we are glad to advocate his cause, and commend him to our readers for their support.

Five persons were killed and about 100 injured by a gasoline explosion in the Meineringdry goods and hardware store at Fort Recovery recently. The city hall at Phoenix, B. C., was recently discovered to be on fire, but the flames were extinguished in a short time, with damage estimated at $200. What is regarded as the worst snowstorm that has occurred so early in the season since the settlement of northern South Dakota raged all day, Saturday. Fourteen inches of snow fell in 12 hours. A dozen bandits rode into the town of Caribo, between Nogales and Hermosillo, robbed stores and kept those present covered with rifles until they mounted and rode away with the plunder. Two powerful battleships of the Russian navy were launched recently, the Andrei Pervosvanni of 16,000 tons, and a smaller vessel, the St. Eustace, at Sebastopol. San Francisco. — Bernard Duffey, who was convicted of holding up and robbing a man o. 85 cents, was recently sentenced by Judge Lawler to ten years in the Folsom prison. It is announced from the White House that Merbert G. Squires of New York has been selected as minister to Panama to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Judge Magoon. Squires was former minister to Cuba. It is feared that the sloop Daisy, presumably a fishing vessel, has been wrecked on the Vancouver island coast during the heavy weather of last week. A report from Ottawa says that the department of justice has practically decided to elevate W. H. P. Clement of Grand Forks, judge of the county court, to the vacancy on the supreme court bench of British Columbia recently made vacant by the promotion of Mr. Justice Duff to the supreme court of Canada. The United States district attorney, Dyer, father of D. P. Dyer, Jr., receiving teller of the United States subtreasury, who is under suspension pending the investigation of an alleged shortage of $61,000 in the government funs, has sent a letter to the attorney general of the United States offering to resign if his connection with the government and his relation to Teller Dyer causes the administration any embarrassment. GALE IN SAN SALVADOR More Than 100 Drown in Coatepeque —Volcano's Odd Eruption. San Salvador, Oct. 23.—Telegraphic communication with interior points has been restored and news of the disaster wrought by the terrific storm which has swept over the country is being received. More than 100 persons were drowned in Coatepeque. A vast quantity of sulphur water was thrown out of the Chulo volcano and inundated the town of Panchinaloo, killing most of the inhabitants. From other points also reports of terrific devastation are coming in. Tunnel in San Francisco San Francisco.—The Southern Pacific is going to bore a tunnel beneath Fort Mason in connection with the "spur track" along North beach, and plans to run under the government reservation to the new warehouses to be built in connection with the new transport dock west of Fort Mason. Four hours' hard thinking exhausts the tissues as much as 10 hours of manual labor. MANY ARE HOMELESS. In Pinar del Rio Hurricane Slays and Fells, Wrecks and Destroys. Havana, Oct. 21.—Reports received by Governor Magoon this afternoon from the provincial governors show that the hurricane was less disastrous than at first believed. The storm was confined mainly to the provinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio. Batabano, 32 miles southeast of Havana, was the only town except the capital which suffered greatly. The mayor of that place reports that nine persons were killed and that many are missing. The American steamers Campbell, plying between the Isle of Pines and the coast, and the Sava went ashore and many small craft were wrecked. Numerous houses were blown down and hundreds of persons are homeless and destitute. The loss there is estimated at $600,000. Governor Magoon has directed Governor Nunez of Havana province to assist Batabano. The mayor of San Luis, province of Pinar del Río, and in the center of the rich tobacco district, reports great damage to seed tobacco, but no loss of life. Governor Silva of Camaguey says that no hurricane was experienced there. Aat Matanzas, where the Twenty-eighth United States infantry is encamped, and at Cardenas, where the Fifth United States infantry is quartered, tents were blown down and considerable damage was done to property. No person, however, was injured. All the southern portions of Havana province is flooded and great damage was done to crops and buildings. The Isle of Pines escaped damage. EARTHQUAKES JAR MAINE. Throw Down Flimsy Bridge—Rough on Crockery. Portland, Malne, Oct. 21. — Two earthquake shocks Saturday night destroyed about 100 feet of temporary highway structure which crosses the upper harbor. The first shock was felt at 6 o'clock and the second at 7.07. Both shocks were light, but were distinctly felt by pedestrians. Accompanying the rumbling was the sound made by the cracking of the timbers of the temporary structure. It is feared that great damage has been done to the foundations of the new highway bridge nearby, for which $250,000 was appropriated recently. MINING NEWS. Announcement is made that the wages of miners in the Aspen silver district, Colorado, will be increased from $2.50 to $2.75 a day. Several thousand men are benefited by the advance, which is made possibly by the recent steady gain in the price of silver. Official estimates given out by the Granby Consolidated are to the effect that the next fiscal year's output of copper will be 30,000,000 pounds, and 50,000,000 pounds annually within the next few years with much lower cost of production. Owing to the closing down of the furnaces at Trail, because of a shortage of coke caused by the strike at the Crow's Nest Coal mines, the shipments were again small last week from Rossland. The LeRoI continues to ship its output to Northport, where is stored pending the time when a supply of coke can be procured. The Boundary ore output and smelter treatment for the week follows: To Granby smelter from Granby mines, 13,205 tons; from Skylark, 20 tons; from Emma, 60 tons. To B. C. Copper company's smelter, from Mother Lode, 1950 tons; from Emma, 70 tons. To Dominion Copper company's smelter, from Brooklyn Stemwinder, 2871 tons; from Rawhide, 1353 tons; from Sunset, 576 tons; from Mountain Rose, 198 tons. Total shipment for week, 20,303 tons; total shipments for week to date, 964,609 tons. Boundary smelters treatment this week follows: Granby smelter, 12,167 tons; B. C. Copper smelter, 3255 tons; Dominion Copper company's smelter, 4998 tons. Total for week, 20,240 tons. Total treatment for year to date, 972,838 tons. The Washington State Mining association, with headquarters in Seattle, has been in existence about four months, succeeding several former atempts to form a similar association, all of which were short lived. The Hayes-Monette lease on the Mohawk mining property was robbed of $50,000 worth of ore Saturday by a band of robbers, whose operations were most daring. Just before daybreak four men drove up to the Hayes-Monette shafthouse and jumped from the wagon. Entering the shafthouse they ordered the two engineers to throw up their hands. They were heavily armed and, under their drawn weapons, ordered the engineers to carry 28 sacks of high grade ore from the house to the wagon. After making the engineers load the wagon the robbers drove off. An alarm was given, but up to noon Saturday the robbers had not been caught. The Hayes-Monette had been preparing for a million dollar shipment of ore. Some of the ore being hoisted runs as high as $50 per pound. The sawmill which the Palmer Mountain Tunnel & Power company recently placed on Toatscoula creek near Loomis, Wash.. is about ready to begin cutting. The mill is to be used for the purpose of sawing lumber and timbers for the big reduction works that the company intends to erect on its property this winter. It is the early subscription paper that skims the cream. HEAD-ON COLLISION THREE TRAINMEN KILLED ON THE GREAT NORTHERN. Also Three Seriously Injured—Crew of Freight Train Disobeyed Orders Near Everett, Wash.—Crash With Passenger Train Followed—Two Other Freight Trains Just Escaped. Everett, Wash., Oct. 22.—The failure of a freight train to obey orders resulted in a headon collision on the Great Northern at 8 o'clock Sunday morning a few miles east of Monroe, in which three were killed, three seriously injured and others bruised. The dead: Freight Engineer J. E. Hudson. Freight Fireman A. W. Riddell. Freight Fireman Patrick Sheridan. The injured: Passenger Engineer George Lawrence, Passenger Conductor Wetzel. The freight was an extra, east bound. It had orders to meet No. 277, the Skykomish local at Monroe. Arriving at Monroe the crew of the train believed they had time to make Sultan, the first station east of Monroe. Immediately after leaving Monroe the train breke down and was delayed some time. Just after they had started up the collision took place. The track at this point is tortuous, winding around the Snohomish. Neither engineer could see the other train until they were within 100 feet of each other. The trains came together with terrific impact. Both engines left the track. Their crews stuck to their posts till the last minute. That there were not many fatalities among the passengers is due to the lightness of the train, consisting only of three cars, and that the heavy freight was going up grade. Passengers hurried from the coaches and assisted in extracting the dead and injured. Fireman Riddell of the freight train was found sitting headless beside his engine. His engineer. Hudson, was not found until late in the afternoon, his body being buried under the ponderous freight engine. Both the engineer and fireman of the passenger were badly scalded. Fireman Sheridan died on the way to the hospital in Everett. Engineer Lawrence was brought to the hospital here and the physicians say his burns are not fatal. Lawrence has a wife and two children in Seattle; Hudson also has family in Everett. All the others were unmarried. Conductor Erickson of the freight train was placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff Brown at Snohomish at the instance of Coroner Munn. The coroner will hold an inquest at Snohomish tomorrow afternoon. The escape of the freight trains from a disastrous wreck between Leavenworth and Cashmere was a narrow one, and that the engines did not come together is due to the fact that when first seen by the engineers the trains were on a level stretch of track between the two towns. The wheels did not cease revolving until the engines nearly touched each other. A mistake in the train orders or their misreading is assigned as the cause of the blunder. RACE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS Colonel Youngblood Says Tillman Speaks No Idle Words. Colonel William Youngblood of Alabama, former auditor in the treasury department and a prominent republican, in an interview at the national capital, declared that a great danger is ahead of the nation, because of the race question. "Senator Tillman speaks no idle words," he says. "A great danger is ahead of us. It is strange that a government which runs off to civilize the Filipinos, to relieve the oppressed Cuban, and which is so powerful as to bring peace between Russia and Japan, is too powerless or so indifferent to the protection of the life, liberty and property of its own subjects. The only remedy of the race issue is the election of a nonsectional, non-racial man to the pressuage." Lumber Scandal Looked for. Nelson, B. C.—What promises to be a serious scandal involving the leading lumber mills in Kootenay, and government officials, was evolved Saturday out of evidence tendered by Inspector Martin of the British Columbia government, and former accountant George Boulton of the Fernie lumber mill, in a suit brought by the latter against the Crows Nest Southern railway, a branch of the Great Northern, for damages in the fire limits, arising out of a fire on the railway in clearing the right-of-way on July 23, 1904. The damages claimed are $70,000 and admitted to be $400. Drunken Man Kills Family. O. B. Heyworth, a well to do farmer living 17 miles north of Gage, Okla., recently shot and killed his wife, two daughters, aged 22 and 18, and a son, aged 20. He then turned the weapon on himself, inflicting a mortal wound. Family trouble was responsible for the tragedy. In New York every minute two immigrants arrive—more than 1,000,000 in a year. Every six minutes a child is born. Every seven minutes there is a funeral. Every hour a new building is erected SPORTING NOTES. Willie Hoppe of New York recently proved his right to the title of the world's champion at 18 inch balk line, one shot in. The young lad was challenged by the veteran Jake Schaefer of Chicago, and won at the Madison Square garden concert hall. Hoppe beat Schaefer by a score of 500 to 472 in 47 innings. Kid Parker and Barney Mullin fought one of the toughest bouts ever seen in British Columbia at Phoenix Friday evening, the referee declaring it a draw after seven rounds. Mullin floored Parker half a dozen times during the night, but could not put the tough Denver veteran out. Parker finally dragged Mullin to the floor and the spectators broke into the ring to settle the fight by popular discussion. Then it was discovered that Parker was peculiarly injured and the referee gave the decision as a draw. J. E. Mason of Latah, Wash., has received communications from parties in New Zealand stating they would accept his proposition for the purchase of "Cyclone," his Kentucky saddler, which he had made them some time ago. The horse created lots of comment at the Spokane fair. They are already talking of purses of $20,000 to $30,000, and this should make Goldfields and Manhattan sit up and take notice. According to Tom O'Rourke, who has been watching the prize fighting game out west pretty closely, Nevada refuses to be counted out and another place suitable for a ring has been discovered. George Sutton of Chicago is now the acknowledged world's champion at 18.2alk line billiards. Los Angeles fight promoters have hopes of striking pay dirt in Searchlight, one of the boom towns in the desert state. It is proposed to bring Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns to together there some time in December, or if this falls through, Jos Gans and Jimmy Britt. Sir Thomas Lipton will build a 21-foot racing yacht and enter the annual race of the Columbia Yacht club next year for the trophy given by himself. Joe Gans says he is willing to fight Nelson again under terms much more liberal than he gave him. He will insist on only two conditions, and they are that the weight be 133 pounds stripped at 3 o'clock and that Gans receive the larger end of the purse. SATURDAY'S FOOTBALL GAMES.

Martial Law, as Enforced, Would Deprive Russian People of Benefits Marital Law, as Enforced, Would Deprive Russian People of Benefits. St. Petersburg—Even the harshest opponents of the administration are agreed as to the great importance of the imperial ukase issued recently, which annulled the most burdensome and irritating restrictions imposed on the peasantry as a special class and embodied into law reforms which had been urged by government commissions and unofficial critics of the government for over two decades. Though the ukase was promulgated under the constitutional provision for temporary laws, it is in effect an organic reform affecting four of the most important features of the Russian system, namely, the special pass regulations for the peasantry, the hated rule by local administrative officials, known as rural superintendents, the administrative control of zemstvo elections, and limitations on the right of peasants to change their avocation and residence The peasant, who, under the old system, ordinarily was without a pass and could leave his village only by obtaining permission for a limited time, a renewal of this regulation being contingent upon the assent of the commune and the payment of all communal obligations, is now given a regular pass, which permits him to change his residence freely in Russia. This ukase, however, is subject to several important limitations, one of which is the nullification of most of its provisions by the exceptional conditions of reinforced and extraordinary security and martial law prevailing in the greater part of Russia, under which discretionary punishment may still be inflicted by simple administrative orders; the regular pass system is subject to a mass of burdensome restrictions. The purpose of the promulgation of the ukase now is admittedly for political effect on the elections. Emperor William of Germany had for his imperial yacht in his cruise along the Norwegian coast the sumptuous Hamburg-American liner Hamburg. The kaiser wore civilian clothes at all times, tabooed all talk of politics and changed daily those privileged to sit at his table that there should be no thought of favoritism. The one royal prerogative that is never foregone is the demand that no one shall address him until spoken to. NEWS OF NORTHWEST WASHINGTON, IDAHO, OREGON AND MONTANA ITEMS. A Few Interesting Items Gathered From Our Exchanges of the Surrounding Countrry—Numerous Accidents and Personal Events Take Place—Fa. Trade Is Good. IDAHO NEWS. The steamers Spokane and Lewison, which have been tied up at Riparia dock for the last six weeks undergoing repairs, started out Monday. A small wreck occurred in the Northern Pacific yards at Sand Point Saturday morning. The Moscow barbers have again patched up their differences. On and after November 1, 1906, all shops will close on Sundays; also on week days at 7 o'clock, except Saturdays, when the hour is 11. No regular session of the United States court will be held at Moscow until November 8. An ordinance has been introduced in the Lewiston city council to regulate the prices which hackmen may charge. Judge E. C. Steele in the district court announces that the trial of jury cases will begin November 12 at Lewiston. The installation of the Gamewell fire alarm system has been completed in Wallace. Wallace is to have another daily newspaper, the initial issue appearing Monday afternoon. It is to be an evening daily, published every day except Sunday, by the Idaho Press, now a weekly. County Attorney Shea of Washington county has sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Robert Lansdon, sheriff, who is republican candidate for secretary of state, charging him with misappropriation of public funds and mutilation of records while serving as assessor. T. A. Ross, one of the prominent farmers on the prairie at Forrest, holds this year's record for the largest harvest of timothy seed. His thresher returns show a yield of 20.880 pounds. As timothy seed yields big returns to the farmer, it is expected that when the Culdesac extension of the Northern Pacific road is completed and transportation is cheaper to market more farmers will be induced to raise the product.

All the Packing Plants of the United States Said to Be for Combine Financed by English Capitalists—Sir Thomas Thinks It Would Be a Good Thing. Chicago, Oct. 23.—Sir Thomas Lipton says he knows nothing of the reported merger of all the packing plants in the United States. However, he thinks they ought to be merged and is sure it could be done without violating the anti-trust laws. Sir Thomas has been mentioned as having come to America to take a hand in the consolidation. "I am sorry that I know of no such plan," he said, "but it ought to be true. A merger of the packing houses would have advantages of economy and efficiency which everybody, and especially the consumer, would be benefited by. "It would take a lot of money to handle it, but it would be a good investment. Some day it may be an accomplished fact. "It could be done without violating any laws. If organized in England as a limited company, with some of the stocks or securities watered or inflated, there is no reason why there should be a clash with any law or any government." State Department Not Alarmed. State Department Not Alarmed. The agricultural department officials are very much interested in the report, from Calicago that the big packing houses are contemplating a gigantic company to be financed by English capital. They do not look for the carrying out of any such project. For years the packing companies have been straining every effort to create the impression that they are acting independently of each other. Officials at Washington decare that notwithstanding the vigorous beef inspection measures now being enforced the packing houses are being operated with a big profit. They can not see wherein there can be any advantage gained by a foreign holding company and they can see wherein there would be many a serious disadvantage to the packers as the outcome of such a deal, for foreign corporations would be absolutely at the mercy of the respective states. Killed by Falling Walls. San Francisco.—Five men were killed and two injured under collapsing walls toppled over by the high wind Saturday.

Durand, a Greek. Both accidents occurred at almost the same time. John Riordan, foreman of the Mission street work noticed the wall swaying ominously just before it fell. He called to the men to come out and all obeyed but Johns, Durand and Charles O'Connor. When it was too late Johns and Durand rushed frantically for the street Jar Felt in Many Towns.

N. U. No.43- UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA PRAISES PE-RU-NA. J. H. Ex-Senator M. C. Butler. Dyspepsia is often caused by catarrh of the stomach—Peruna relieves catarrh of the stomach and is therefore a remedy for dyspepsia. Hon. M. C. Butler, Ex. U. S. Senator from South Carolina for two terms, in a letter from Washington, D. C., writes to the Peruna Medicine Co. as follows: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine, besides a good tonic." Catarrh of the stomach is the correct name for most cases of dyspepsia. In order to cure catarrh of the stomach the catarrh must be eradicated. Only an internal catarrh remedy, such as Peruna, is available. Peruna exactly meets the indications. Noted Forger Caught. Chicago.—J. H.
