The Editor's Song How dear to my heart is the steady subscriber, Who pays in advance without skipping a year; Who takes out his dollar and offers it gladly; And casts 'round the office a halo of cheer. Who never says 'stop it, I can't afford it.' Or "getting more papers each day than I read." But always says, "send it, the whole outfit, likes it- In fact we regard it as a buisness need." How welcome he is when he steps in the sanctum; How he makes our eyes fairly dance: How he makes our heart throb We outwardly thank him and in wardly bless him. The steady subscriber who pays in advance. The colored Fraternal orders of celena are at this time making history, and Pulling together with a am, we predict that before another thanksgiving rolls around, a home their own which will not only be credit to the race but to the city well, will be in course of construion.

The Work of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York. We wonder if many of the citizen of Greater New York realize how much good the above named committee is accomplishing under the leadership of Mr. William Jay Schiefelin, Dr. William Lewis Bulkley, Mr. Charles W. Anderson, Mr Samuel R Scottron, secretary and executive head, and many others. On the various committee connected with this organization are many of the strongest and best, white and black citizens in the city. Their greatest victory so far has been won in securing recognition for Afro--American skiled workmen. Their work ought to be generously and constantly supported. Those who wish to contribute toward the expense of this committee should direct their correspondence to Mr. Samuel R. Scottron, 30 East 42d street, New York city. The Age Prof. Washington On The Urgent Needs Of The Negro At This Time. The colored people of this country need a great many things. What is it that we need most? If I were to answer this question quite frankly, seeking to put my meaning in its most comprehensive form, I should say that the thing that the colored people of this country need most at this time is SOLIDARITY! We need as a race to learn to pull together. We have made as individuals enormous progress in this country. Despite much talk to the contrary, the Negroes are going steady forward. The race owns to day an acreage of land in the United States that is equal to the combined acreage of two entire States of Europe, Holland and Belgium. Negroes own more houses, more stores, more banks this year than they did last, and they will own more next year than they do this year. There used to be a question as to when ther or not the Negro could be educated that is, in the ordinary sense in which we understand education. There is no longer such a question In the minds of any people whose opinion is worth considering. During the last forty years the American Negro has convinced the world that he could be educated in literature, science, mathematics, agriculture, mechanics and the household arts and in the professions. We have won this victory not by depending upon empty talk, not by depending upon abstract argument, not by abuse of some one, but by actually doing the thing, by filling every public school, every college, every industrial and professional school that has ever been opened for us. We have won this victory by having living tangible object lessons in every part of the United States that within themselves were indisputable evidences of our ability to receive education. When proof is asked of our ability to receive education, we can point to the little bareheaded and barefooted boy in the Mississippi log cabin school, or we can point to the Negro youth in the cap and gown in Oxford University. England. So much is settled. To a large extent this progress has been made, as I have said, by individuals Helena, Montana, Friday, November 20 1007 Friday Evening Nov. 29th.

SAUL POLLS O 11.30 Every Admission Tick ADMISSION But there are ten million Negroes in this country. We are a nation within a nation. There is within this ten million individuals a vast latent power, a power which can be awakened only by united action-united action along business, along educational and along religious lines. Now to accomplish results such as this we must be united in a business way. By this I do not mean that we should trade at a Negro store and not a white store; I do not mean that we should place our money in a Negro bank simply because it is a Negro bank. But I mean that we should take a pride in the business conducted by our people; that we should take particular care to see that they are conducted just as neatly and as orderly as the store of a white man; that we should take particular care that they do not suffer from the fact that they are dealing with Negro people, for the reason, as is sometimes said, that Negro people do not pay their bills as promptly as other people. On the other hand, the Negro usiness man, on his side, should feel a pride in dealing as justly, as fairly and giving as much and as good quality for the money as any other store, or as if he were dealing with any other people. In these respects, the Negro business men and the Negro people can do much for each other at this time. And this is the sort of unity that I may characterize as a solidarity of purpose and of interest. The same thing is true as to education. We do not accomplish as much in our schools at the present time as we could if we were more united-more united inside of our schools and more united out of them. I might say the same thing about our relig'ion. Here, too, we waste too much time in discussing and emphasizing sectarian matters, in emphasizing those things which divide us instead of those things in regard to which we are united. Civilization in any people is to a large extent the ability of the individuals of that people to combine their efforts for the good of the whole; it is the ability while holding fast to individual bifference of opinion and sentiment on minor matters, to be able to put these differences in the background whenever it is necessary to unite for the benefit of the whole community or the whole State.

Act Was Done in Cabinet Room in Presence of Few—Signature Signed by Pen Formed From Quill of Wing of an American Eagle—Goes to Historical Society of Oklahoma. A new star was added to the American flag by the admission formally into the Union of the state of Oklahoma. President Roosevelt at 10:16 o'clock Saturday morning signed the proclamation admitting the territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory jointly as one of the American states. Little formality attended the ceremony which meant so much to the people of the two territories. In appending his signature to the proclamation the president used a pen formed from a quill plucked from the wing of an American eagle. The pen will be deposited with the Oklahoma Historical society. There was absolutely no ceremony connected with the signing of the proclamation. The act was done in the cabinet room, to which had been admitted Senators Carter and Dixon of Montana, and Warner of Missouri, besides a number of residents of Oklahoma, most of whom are connected with government departments in Washington. It was exactly 10:16 o'clock when Secretary Loeb threw open the double doors leading from the president's private office. He had the proclamation in his hand, which later he laid on the large square blotter at the president's position at the head of the cabinet table. The president entered and took his seat at once, was handed the long eagle quill pen by the secretary and, himself lifting the lid from the inkstand, dipped the pen and wrote his name in large letters, the pen making an audible scratch with each movement. When he had finished his signature the president picked up a small blotter, with which he blotted his name, and then looked up and exclaimed: "Oklahoma is a state." The signing and all incidents concerned with it consumed but one minute, and at their conclusion the president retired to his private office, saying as we did so: "Good morning, gentlemen." The slight delay from the original plan of having the proclamation signed at exactly 10 o'clock is explained simply by the statement the president was occupied with his mail. No sig nificance is attached to the 16 minutes delay. HIS WIFE COMMITS SUICIDE Mrs. Wyman Thrown Aside Because of Excessive Use of Narcotics. Mrs. Julie Wyman of New York city recently put an end to a brilliant musical career and a most pathetic life by killing herself with gas in her daughter's studio at No. 736 Lexington avenue. A friend of her daughter, who had been warned by the mother herself that she would live no longer separated from Walter Myman, her millionaire husband of Chicago, broke into the studio and found her dead in bed, a gas tube at her mouth. Mrs. Wyman was a noted contralto. Twenty years ago when she married Wyman, a coal magnate of the west, there was no more sought-for amateur singer in America. Moreover, she was beautiful, and the pair were fetched from California to Maine in the wealthiest and most cultured circles. The separation came 12 years ago after the birth of her three daughters Caro, Florence and Lorent. Mrs. Wyman had succumbed to the liquor and cocaine habits. Her husband cast her off and she was forced to earn a livelihood by her voice for herself and the children, whom she had kidnapped from im soon after they began to live apart CROPS TO MOVE FAST. Banks Have Made Arrangements to Get Cash to Farmers. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 19.—At a meeting held here in the Bank of Commerce between representatives of the bank, wheat exporters and wheat growers of the Inland Empire arrangements were concluded which assure the financing of the movement of the wheat crop of the northwest. Immediately following the meeting orders were sent out to actually set the wheat in motion at once. As a result the immense wheat crop of the Inland Empire—conservatively estimated to be worth $30,000,000—will today start on its way to the markets of Asia, Africa and Europe. From the Inland Empire there will begin a flow of the grain to the ports of Puget sound and the Columbia river which will cease only when all the wheat has been drained from the fields and warehouses. Canals. Denver to the Gulf. Denver, Nov. 19—John Barrett, director of the International Bureau of American Republics, speaking recently at a banquet given in his honor by the Denver Chamber of Commerce, made the prediction that eventually Denver would be connected by canals with the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi river. The fit survive—the unfit perish. MINES AND MINING. Kelienople, Penn.—One man was blown to pieces when two tons of powder in the storage room of the Pittsburgh Fuel & Mining company, two miles west of here, exploded. Trinidad, Col.—The $22,000 worth of pay checks for the miners and coke men of the Carbon Coal & Coke company which were lost a few days ago from the stage was found later by some boys. A full face of arsenical iron ore assaying from $8 to $69 a ton has been opened up in the lower workings of the Capital mine, in Finley canyon, near Twisp, Wash. London—The United States bought $471,000 in bar gold from the Bank of England Saturday, making in all about $2,750,000 from this source during the week, besides $500,000 bought in the open market. Mining in Central Idaho Harry Hinkson has begun work on a 200-foot crosscut tunnel on his property on Marshall creek, in the Marshall lake district. The Fox & Briggs mine, near Big creek, is being run full force and is turning out bullion. A new road is being built from Florence across the Salmon river, which will bring the camp 20 miles nearer the Bear creek mines. The Big Idaho Continental mine, situated near the head of Priest lake, in the Priest lake mining district, is reported to be now preparing to put in a four-mile aerial tramway to haul the ore from the mine to the head of the lake, where it will be put on barges and shipped thence by rail from the foot of the lake. It is estimated that nine minths' time will be required to complete the tramway. In the Coeur d'Alenes. The shaft on the Basin property is down 50 feet and has followed the ledge all the way. The ore is said to be improving as depth is gained. The shaft of the Amazon-Dixie property in the Saltesse district is down 35 feet, and is in rich copper ore. The ledge has been opened by surface cuts for 800 feet. The crosscut on the Ben Hur property is in 180 feet, and has yet 100 feet to go before it will open up the ledge. The crosscut will cut the vein at a depth of 150 feet. The Bunker Hill & Sullivan on Thursday of last week broke all previous working day records by delivering to the miii through the Kellogg tunnel 1154 tons of ore. The Gettysburg mine, near Mullan has been closed, and will not reopen until the spring. A report from the Rex mine, on Nine Mile creek, in the Coeur d'Aleness, is that the long-lost ledge, which was missed when No. 1 stope was driven off to the northeast instead of to the northwest, has again been located, and carries a vein of rich lead and silver ore upward of five feet in width. While working on a gallows frame at the Hecla mine, at Burke, recently, C. W. Holmes, a miner, lost his balance and fell 30 feet to the ground, breaking his neck and killing him instantly. British Columbia Mines. A large new boarding house is being built at the Stemwinder mine, in Fairview camp. During the month of October more than 25,000 tons of copper ore was shipped from the Snowshoe mine, which established a new high record for that property. It is rumored among mining men that the closing down of the Granby mines and smelter will be of but short duration and that there is a big merger of Boundary companies planned. One encouraging feature in the news of the week was the receipt by Boundary and other stockholders in the Consolidated Mining & Smelting company of Canada, Ltd., of the seventh dividend checks of that concern, being what is known as the November dividend payment. It is the general impression in Nelson that the shutdown of the copper mines in the Boundary is merely a matter of adjustment of wages, and that if the men are willing to take the Butte scale—the Butte scale being the rise and fall of wages with the rise and fall of copper—the Boundary mines and smelters will soon be in full blast again. The Le Roi, at Rossland, B. C., is developing in a satisfactory manner, as new ore finds continue to be of a high grade and the outlook is for a long period of usefulness. A larger force—about 125 men—is employed in the mine and mill than for several years past. Le Roi No. 2 is operating the Vancouver mine in the Slocan, and it is a valuable asset of the company. Seventy men are employed in the mine and mill at Vancouver, and regular shipments of concentrates and ore continue to be made to the Trail smelter. Fastest Boar. Cowes, isle of Wight, Nov. 19.—The British destroyer, in official trial here, developed a speed and held it for six hours of $34\frac{1}{4}$ knots per hour. This is equivalent to 40 land miles. This makes her by all odds the fastest boat in the world. She is fitted with turbine engines and a tubular boiler and uses oil for fuel. Government Ownership? No The American Federation of Labor, by a vote of 154 to 50, has refused to record itself as favoring government ownership of railroads and mines. It is easier to tell the truth than to tell a lie, particularly a plausible lie. WILLBRINGMILLIONS PLAN TO SELL PANAMA BONDS FOR CASH IMMEDIATELY. Treasury to Issue $60,000,000 Bonds, $100,000,000 Certificates of Indebtedness—Approved by President—Tells People Absurdity of Becoming Alarmed and Creating Stringency. Washington, Nov. 19. — Secretary Cortelyou has made the important announcement that as a means of affording relief to the financial situation, the treasury would issue $50,000,000 of Panama canal bonds and $100,000,000 certificates of indebtedness, or so much thereof as may be necessary. The certificates will run for one year and will bear 3 per cent interest. The secretary's action in coming to the relief of the financial situation meets with President Roosevelt's hearty approval, and the plan is the outcome of the several White House conferences. Secretary Cortelyou says that the Panama bonds will afford substantial relief, as the law provides that they may be used as a basis for additional bank circulation. He also states that the proceeds from the sale of certificates can be made directly available at points where the need is most urgent, and especially for the movement of crops, which, he says, "if properly accelerated, will give the greatest relief and result in the most immediate financial returns." The secretary calls attention to the attractiveness of the bonds and certificates as absolutely safe investments. Secretary Cortelyou adds that these relief measures will enable him to meet public expenditures without withdrawing for that purpose any appreciable amount of the public moneys now deposited in national banks throughout the country. Two treasury circulars, one inviting proposals for the issue of bonds, and the other asking for the certificates, will be sent out under date of November 18. In his letter to Secretary Cortelyou approving the treasury plans, President Roosevelt states that he has been assured that the leaders in congress have under consideration a currency measure, "which will meet in permanent fashion the needs of the situation and which I believe will be passed at an early date after congress convenes, two weeks hence." The president also calls attention to what is needed most at this time is that the people should "realize how fundamentally sound business conditions in this country are, and now absurd it is to permit themselves to get into a panic and create a stringency by hoarding their savings instead of trusting perfectly banked." GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. President Roosevelt has been commended and congratulated on the wisdom and success of the financial relief measures launched by the administration. The province of Reggie di Calabria, Italy, was visited by another earthquake Tuesday. William Warner met a horrible death in Portland, Ore., by falling onto a steam woodsaw. Secretary Taft has engaged passage for New York on the steamer President Grant, sailing from Hamburg Saturday, December. The trial of George A.

In a duel with knives, fought far be- low the surface of the earth, Williard J. Donnelly was killed by Ben West in the Union Companion mine at Cornucopia, Oregon. The trouble started in a trivial dispute, and in their struggle the men knocked out the light. They drew knives and continued the fight, when, by a chance blow, West cut Donnelly's threat. President Lennan of the St. Paul Baseball club has drafted Mike Lynch, manager of the Tacoma club, and will offer him the position of manager of the St. Paul club and left field on the team. "Dakota Bob," who fought Indians under General Miles and for the last 12 years has been a professional pedestrian, landed in Yonkers N. Y., Monday after having walked 3485 milcs from Portland, Ore., on a wager of $3000. Bob was 16 days ahead of his schedule, it having been stipulated that he should reach Yonkers on Thanksgiving day. Billy Lee of Yonkers put up the $3000 for the pedestrian, against a like sum furnished by Joe Miller, a rich Portland man. Taft Not to See Kaiser Berlin, Nov. 20.—Secretary Taft has definitely and finally decided not to visit Emperor William. IS THERE A WHEAT CLIQUE? State Railroad Commission Suspects Railroads Aid Alleged Combine. Olympia, Wash., Nov. 20.—The state railroad commission is "gunning" for a suspected combine of railroads and warehousemen that is said to be attempting to bar out independent wheat buyers in eastern Washington, and announcement is made at the commission offices that the commission will keep busy on the work until the combine, if such exists, is broken up for all time. In fact, the commission is rather inclined to force warehousemen out of the business of buying grain and into a strictly warehouse business. What gives ground for the belief there is such collusion between the warehousemen and the railroads is the fact that this year the warehousemen adopted a new and peculiar form of receipt, and at the same time the railroads adopted a rule not to supply cars to independent buyers unless the same were ordered through some warehouseman. Heretofore warehouse receipts given for wheat simply received for a certain number of sacks and bushels of grain to be delivered on surrender of the receipt and payment of charges. This year the receipt reads that the wheat was to be delivered "in the order in which cars are received." Immediately following the protest of the grain growers against this form of receipt came the complaint from independent buyers that the railroads would not supply them with cars. The commission promptly investigated the latter report and was at first positively informed by railroad officials there was no such rule, and if any agent had enforced such a rule he had done so without authority. The commission then made further investigation and found there was this discrimination and again demanded an explanation from the railroads. Then the roads admitted there is such a rule, and now the roads are defending it as proper and fair. PRESIDENT CALLS GOVERNORS Roosevelt Announces Great Conference in May. President Roosevelt has invited the governors of states and territories to meet him at the White House May 13, 14 and 15 next to discuss the question "of means to conserve the natural resources of the country." Invitations are to be extended to the members of both houses of congress and to the inland waterways commission. The importance and manner in which the subject is to be considered are indicated in the president's letter to the governors, which says, in part: "It is evident that the abundant natural resources on which the welfare of this nation rests are becoming depleted, and in not a few cases are already exhausted. This is true of all portions of the United States; it is especially true of the longer settled communities of the east. The gravity of the situation must, I believe, appeal with special force to the governors of the states, because of their close relations to the people and their responsibility for the welfare of their communities. "The matters to be considered at this conference are not confined to any region or group of states, but are of vital concern to the nation as a whole and to all the people. These subjects include the use and conservation of the mineral resources, the resources of the land and the resources of the waters in every part of our territory. "In order to open discussion I shall invite a few recognized authorities to present brief descriptions of actual facts and conditions, without argument, leaving the conference to deal with each topic as it may elect." RUSH THE LUMBER CASES. Pacific Northwest's Complaints Will Commissioner Lane has induced the interstate commerce commission to consent to expedite the lumber cases of the North Pacific coast beginning December 11, the remainder of that week to be devoted to the hearings, J. N. Teal, representing the lumbermen, advised Mr. Lane today that the date was satisfactory to the petitioners. Cases are now on the docket of the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manufacturers' association against the Union Pacific and other roads; the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers association against the Northern Pacific and other roads, and the Western Oregon Manufacturers' association against the Southern Pacific and other roads. It is hoped by the commission that a decision will be rendered a few weeks after the hearings, perhaps January 1 Convics Escape. The most sensational prison break that has occurred at the Reno, Nev., prison in many years took place Monday afternoon, when the convicts Richard Forrest, James Watson and John Edwards overpowered their guards, shooting one through the hand, and taking possession of a butcher wagon in the prison yard drove into the hills. Deptuy Sheriff Knoblock was one of the first to find the trail of the escaped ooivicts. He no sooner got started than he was informed of their location by a bullet whistling by his head. Knoblock saw two men duck out of sight beneath the high sagebrush and he soon had them covered with his gun. They surrendered and were taken back to the prison by their captor. Convict Edwards committed suicide rather than surrender. When some men make a palpable mistake, how quickly they invent a ridiculous excuse!

Saturday Football Games Butte, Mont.—The Butte high school football team won a brilliant victory from Spokane and the interscholastic championship of the northwest, before a crow of 6000 people Saturday afternoon. It is doubtful if ever there has been seen a more splendidly played football game in all the west, not even barring the big college games. The little Butte team fought gallantly from the first blast of the referee's whistle until time was called at the end of the second half. They contested every inch of the distance gained by the big giants from the Inland Empire city, who outweighed them 20 pounds to the man, and when in possession of the ball hurled themselves into their opponents with a spirit born of sheer desperation. Waitsburg, Wash.—The Waitsburg high school defeated the Colfax high school on High School field, in this city, by a score of 18 to 0.

Wallace, Idaho.—After a ragged game of football in miserable weather, Wallace high school defeated Mullan at Wallace by the score of 11 to 0. Cambridge, Mass.—Dartmouth wiped out last year's defeat by administering to Harvard the worst trouncing the crimson team has ever suffered from a minor college. The score was 22 to 0. The Spokane Amateur Athletic club scored a brilliant victory over the heavy eleven from the Multnomah club of Portland at Spokane, the score being 4 to 0. Seattle.—The University of Owegon shattered the cherished tradition, defeating the University of Washington, 6 to 0, in the best game of football that has been seen here this season. Ann Arbor, Mich.—Eastern football triumphed once more over the west when Philadelphia defeated Michigan on Ferry field, 6 to 0. Minneapolis.—Carlisle defeated Minnesota on Northrop field by a score of 12 to 10 in a highly spectacular game. Tacoma, Wash.—In a game characterized by the most wonderful exhibition of pluck on the part of the lighter team, the Tacoma high school football eleven was defeated 5 to 0 by the heavy Seattle team. New Haven, Conn.—Again the Princeton Tiger found the Yale Bulldog more than his match. In one of the sensational last ditch fights for which old Eli's sons are famed, Yale pulled herself out of a defeat in the last half of a brilliant gridiron duel and won by 12 to 10. Plan to Move the Wheat. The National Bank of Commerce of Seattle has submitted a plan for the moving of the wheat crop of the Inland Empire. The plan is to exchange sight drafts on New York for the wheat, which drafts will be payable within 15 days after the wheat is delivered to the exporter. Ordinarily the wheat is paid for in sight drafts on London, which very much prolongs the time which the local banks must carry the accounts. R. R. Spencer, vice president of the National Bank of Commerce, stated that if the exporters would agree to accept these sight drafts on New York he would undertake to furnish the cash and creed necessary to get the crop started on its way to Europe. Mr. Moose, representing the wheat interests, has stated that he has little doubt that the plan will be accepted.

Imperial Car at His Disposal for Siberian Journey. Vladivostok, Nov. 18. — Secretary Taft arrived here at noon Sunday on board the converted cruiser Rainbow. The Rainbow anchored off shore, guarded by the Chattanooga and the Galveston. The secretary and his party will remain on board their steamer until their departure from Vladivostok over the Transsiberian railway for St. Petersburg at 7 o'clock on the morning of November 19. An imperial car has been placed at Mr. Taft's disposal for this journey, and the emperor of Russia has detailed military and naval aides to accompany him. It is probable that from St. Petersburg Mr. Taft will journey directly to Hamburg, and sail for New York on December 7 on board the steamer President Grant. Raise $30,000 to Save Girl. Eaton, Col., Nov. 20.—Miss Linnie Jackson, a pretty telephone operator, who was arrested Friday, will not go to jail for the theft of $300 from her employers. Neither will she suffer because of the loss of her position. Her invalid father and young sister, the burden of supporting whom caused the young woman to become a thief, will also be taken care of. The people of Eaton have come to the rescue of the girl. In less than an hour after it had become known that Miss Jackson was a confessed thief $30,000 had been pledged to see the girl and her family through their troubles.

Bp NU No. 47.7 A ROYAL WEDDING SQUADRON IN TRIM PRINCECHARLESANDPRINGESS LOUISE WERE MARRIED. Many Kings and Queens Present to See Ceremony—Pretender to Throne of France Escorts Bride to Altar—Gifts of Bride and Gowns Worth Millions of Dollars. London, Nov. 17.—Wood Norton, the English home of the duke of Orleans, where the pretender to the throne of France holds court, welcomed a distinguished company Saturday at the wedding of Prince Charles of Bourbon and Princess Louise of Orleans. The religious ceremony to which this company had been invited took place in an improvised chapel built of canvas, but so cleverly painted that it could hardly be distinguished from the gray stone house which it adjoined. The chapel was connected with the castle by an arched walk, over which the bridal procession proceeded. The duke of Orleans led with the bride, meeting at the altar the bridegroom, who was attended by King Alfonso of Spain. The score of other royal personages in attendance included the queens of Spain and Portugal, Princess Henry of Battenberg and Grand Duke Vladimir. They were followed by members of the diplomatic corps, including the American ambassador, Whitelaw Reid, and Mrs. Reid. The service was that of the Roman Catholic church, with choral accompaniment by an orchostra and soloists from the Paris opera house. The bishop of Birmingham celebrated mass and bestowed the pontifical blessing, the remainder of the service being performed by the duke's chaplain, who delivered a short address, in which he referred to the happy gathering of so many members of the duke's family, which, he said, "unfortunately could not occur in France." After the ceremony the wedding banquet was served at the castle, at which the duke of Orleans and King Alfonso proposed the usual toasts. During the afternoon the duke received the French journalists in kingly fashion, speaking a few words to each of them and then becoming a plain country gentleman again, jumping into his motor car, which he himself drove to the station, with King Alfonso as a passenger. The wedding presents came from all parts of the world and mainly consisted of jewels. They represented, according to estimate, between $2,500,000 and $5,000,000. Mines in Many Camps. Hundreds of miners, it is said, are leaving the Boundary district since the shutdown of the Granby and other big mines. Joplin, Mo.-The closing session of the American Mining congress resulted in practically a unanimous vote for Columbus, Ohio, as the next meeting place. Boston.-Phelps, Dodge & Co. have announced a new wage scale for their miners at Bisbee, reducing wages of underground men from $4 to $3.50 per day. The same scale has been put in force by the Old Dominion company at Globe and by the Calumet & Arizona at Bisbee. All the $4 camps are now on a wage basis of $3.50 per day, following the lead of the Amalgamated company in Butte. Lead, S. D.—A shipment of $200,000 in gold bullion to New York was made Saturday. This is the second shipment of gold to the east from the Black Hills since the financial stringency began. Calumet, Mich.—A 5 per cent cut in wages has been announced by the Consolidated mines, the Centennial and Allouez companies and the Quincy mines. About 3500 men are affected. According to information regarding the strike of coal miners at Newcastle the effect of the cessation of work in the mines is being felt throughout Australia. How seriously the situation with regard to the metal market is regarded at Nelson, B. C., can be seen from the fact that locally $10,000 has been raised to complete the electric zinc plant of the Canadian Zinc company of that city. This plant is the result of four and a half years' work in Chicago and in Vancouver. The plan is to treat zinc ore on a basis of electric reduction similar to that successfully employed recently in Sweden. Altogether some $60,000 or $70,000 must have been expended. Aoki Drinks Evans' Health. Viscount Aoki recently drank a toast to the health of Rear Admiral Evans, his honorary guest at a dinner party, o. naval and diplomatic notables and their wives. The ambassador wished "Fighting Bob" a prosperous voyage for the big battleship fleet that will shortly sail for the Pacific. Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Newberg were among those present. Ammonia Fumes Kill Fireman. Oakland, Cal., Nov. 19—Fire broke out in Collins' drug store at Washington and Twelfth streets and caused $20,000 or $30,000 loss. Edward Brandt, a fireman, was killed, and several other firemen were almost overcome with ammonia fumes. ATLANTIC FLEET IS ABOUT READY FOR PACIFIC TRIP Five of Sixteen Great Yankee Battleships at Brooklyn Yards—Eleven at the Yards Nearby—Great Quantities of Food to Be Carried—Many Small Boats Eliminated. New York, Nov. 20.—Five of the 16 big American battleships which next month will start on one of the most notable cruises of the world's naval history, are at the Brooklyn navy yard receiving their last preparations for the long journey to the Pacific. The other 11 are at the Norfolk, Boston and League Island navy yards. Several of the battleships now at other yards will come to New York during the next few days to go into the drydocks at the Brooklyn station. Eleven and possibly 12 of the fleet will rendezvous in New York harbor before December 1, and will sail either on that day or December 2 for Hampton Roads, from which port the start to San Francisco will be made December 16, after a review of the assembled ships by President Roosevelt. In addition to the five heavily armed fighting craft at the local yard, four vessels of the auxiliary squadron of supply and repair ships also are under repair and will be ready in a few days to receive their full cargoes of supplies. The task of loading the foodstuffs is by no means one of the smallest of the problems involved in the setting out of the heaviest fighting squadron ever assembled under the American flag, a fact which is patent, when of potatoes alone the requisitions now in the hands of the pay corps offices call for 500,000 pounds. The Connecticut, the flagship of Admiral Evans, which will lead the battleship column in its hemisphere-girdling cruise, was taken out of drydock late yesterday, her white sides glistening with new paint. Quite a change is being made in the appearance of the superstructures of the battleships by the stripping off of nearly one-half of the small boats for merely carried. It was once the idea in the navy to carry small boats enough to accommodate a ship's company in case of wreck or disaster in battle. Such a plan has long since been impracticable, for the crews of the modern fighters have grown to more than 800 and if small boats enough to carry these were carried, there would be room for little else aboard. The danger of shipwreck now is regarded as remote, and in the event of sinking in battle the men, it is believed, would have as good chances of rescue in caring for themselves individually, as they would in an endeavor to get into boats. The rescue of men from sinking ships is regarded as one of the duties imposed upon the victor. Dynamite Kills Four People Near Cheney Dynamite Kills Four People Near Cheney Cheney, Wash., Nov. 21.—Four men were killed and three injured in an explosion in a construction camp on the Portland & Seattle railroad, 12 miles south of Cheney, while thawing dynamite for blasting. The dead and injured were taken to Spokane, the maimed bodies being removed to the morgue, while two of the injured men were taken to the hospital. The men were hand-drilling in the rock preparatory to blasting, and found that their powder was too chilled to be used effectively. As is usual in such cases they built a fire to thaw the dynamite and placed 50 pounds of dynamite near it on a piece of tin. They were working with their drills 75 feet from the fire, when one of them noticed that the dynamite was catching fire. Calling to three other men, he ran toward the fire to take the dynamite out of range of the flames. Charles Pascuzi, the foreman, seeing their danger, started toward the blaze, calling to the men to let the powder alone and get away from it. He had approached within 30 feet of the fire when the dynamite exploded, hurling the four men to the ground and killing them instantly. One of the bodies was so mutilated that it was taken to Spokane in a cracker box. Lingo Ferrar, Vito Esperto, Frank Carinoo and Geddo Gotto were killed; C. Civo was badly cut about the head and shoulders by flying rock and John Bornese was thrown to the ground and stunned by the shock of the explosion. Charles Pascuzi, the foreman in charge of the gang, was badly bruised, but not taken to the hospital. The men were Italian laborers hired by the firm of Albi & Plastino, who have taken the contract for the construction of the new road at that point. Chew of Gum in Appendix.

ERUNA A TONIC OF GREAT USEFULNESS [Image of a man with a long white beard and round glasses. He is wearing a dark suit with a white shirt and a black tie.] HON, R. S. THARIN Hon. R. S. Tharin, attorney-at-law and counsel for Anti-Trust League, writes from Pennsylvania Ave. N. W., Washington, D. C., as follows: "Having used Peruna for catarrah disorders, I am able to testify to its great remedial excellence and do not hesitate to give it my emphatic endorsement and earnest recommendation to all persons affected by that disorder. It is also a tonic of great usefulness." Mr. T. Barnecott, West Aylmer, Ontario, Can. writes: "Last winter I was ill with pneumonia after having la gripe. I took Peruna for two months, when I became quite well. I also induced a young lady, who was all run down and confined to the house, to take Peruna, and after taking Peruna for three months she is able to follow her trade of tailoring. I can recommend Peruna for all such who are ill and require a tonic." Pe-ru-na Tablets Some people prefer to take tablets rather than to take medicine in a fluid form. Such people can obtain Perun tablets, which represent the solid medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is equivalent to one average dose of Peruna. May Revive Santiago Feud. The Schley-Evans feud, originating at the naval battle of Santiago, and brought to a climax when "Fighting Bob" Evans testified against Sampson's enemy at the Schley inquiry, threatens to break out afresh when congress meets. The administration intends to press a bill creating a vice admiral and give Evans that rank. Schley's friends want action postponed until after August 10 next, when Evans retires. There is talk of having three vice admirals, so Schley can be honored and the opposition of his friends ended. MIX THIS YOURSELF GIVES RECIPE FOR SIMPLE HOME MADE KIDNEY CURE.

Chicago, Nov. 19.—From the lips of a Chicago club woman, Miss Lillian Shaffner, has come the most startling of all suggestions for the solving of criminal problems. Miss Shaffner would hang all idiots. Brand a murderer with a mark on the forehead and then turn him loose so that all would recognize him. Deport foreign criminals, because it is cheaper than to try them in this country and support them in this country's jails.

SINKS AND DRAINS A FREQUENT CAUSE OF TYPHOID. PURIFY THESE AND YOU WILL BE SAFE FROM CONTAGION. DISINFECTING THE ONLY PREVENTIVE. Borax, a Simple, Safe and Sure Method How to keep our homes clean, sweet and free from germ influences is a question. While there is no occasion for alarm, it is always well to be forearmed on the theory that an Onounce of Prevention Is Better than a Bound of Cure, and no ounce of prevention has yet been discovered that is more simple, more direct and more effective, yet harmless to the human system, than is Borax. Borax has been known and used for generations as a purifier and preventive against epidemic influenza resulting from unhealthy conditions resulting in rinks and drains, and when used as a hot solution in the proportion of two tablespoons to a gallon of hot water flushed through the offending locations, removes every trace of disease germs and renders the pipes clean and wholesome. Borax in addition to its hygienic qualities, is a household necessity, and can be used for numberless domestic purposes. It softens water, makes linen dazzling white, will cleanse skin, makes the kitchen or dining room and make it bright and prevent stains, soften and whiten the skin, hardrub and cleanse the scalp, and for cleansing and sterilizing baby's milk bottle and nipple has no equal. It cleanses every other cleaner and disinfectant, is always cleaner to the system, and is safe, simple, economical, and can be purchased at any drugstret or grocery store.
