A GREAT CONQUEST Although wide open gambling has been goin on in this town for many days the police have winked a it, but at the work beck and call of a tout, cocaine fiend they have made a mighty swoop down on the Manhattan club and carry to the filthy jail at 2 o'clock a. m. and fined $100 bail per man, a more inadequate act could not have been committed. They carried off with a great hurrah a box of solo chips and say: look what we have done. And what is it they raided, a colored social club which has for its officers some of the most reputable men in town. And the police have committed a great injury which they cannot repair. They cannot heed the complaint of cocaine fiends, touts etc., at the expense of it citizens and make a record. County Attorney Hepner has shown that he is a broad gauged man who stands for what is right and will not confine reputable citizens in jail on a fancy bond of the beck and call of a hop fiend. We do not think Mayor Edwards if he had been here would even have stood for the deal that the local police gave the Manhattan club. As Secretary and Treasurer of the Manhattan club for the past three years, we assure the public that it is and never has been what the police aver it is. It is the only social organization in the city: its officers are all men of high reputation. It seems at though the local police have a disease known as colorphilia and want to make it hard on all colored citizens. Jas. Young on whose word the police pulled the Manhattan club, is a tout, was put out of the fair ground for crooked work, was put out of the Manhattan club for ungentlemanly conduct and is not a citizen on whose word the police raided and put in the city jail and held at a fancy bail which they knew could not be produced at two o'clock Sunday Morning. President Taft has come and gone his brief stay in our city was one to be long remembered, thousands flocked to the city to do him hom- age, and on one was disappointed in the man; and all could say that we have for our chief magistrate, a man who fits the office and who is a worthy successor to the peerless Roosevelt. The high honor which was conferred on us at the recent meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Colorado jurisdiction of which this state is a part, by electing us to the next highest office in their gift, that of Deputy Grand Master, is indeed a compliment which shall be remembered unto the end. In this our hour of declining health that we have so conducted ourselves to be recognized by so grand a body, should appeal to the highest ambition of any man, and appreciating the same we shall strive to merit the same with its great responsibilities to the utmost, and shall thank the brethern with the sweetest flower in the conversary of our heart the flower of gratitude. While no one of our representative citizens of color was on any of the committee to receive the President they can rest assured that they will receive pressing invitations next fall to vote. If the police were just bound to take the word of a hop fiend they should have at least got him to swear to a complaint and break in a private place. GRAND LODGE OF THE G. U. O O. F. AT BUTTE, A GRAND SUCCESS The Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. O. F. of the Colorado Jurisdiction consisting of the states of Colorado, Wymoning, Utah and Montana, convened in Butte on the 13 inst. The session was in every way a successful one, and Butte did herself proud in the manner in which she entertained the grand body and all the delegates and members were profuse in praises to the Butte citizens for the hospitality extended. Helena was honored by having the Deputy Grand Master elected from here. The session was opened promptly on Monday morning after the organization was perfected, the delegates all repaired to the Auditorium steps and were they photographed in a body, after which they returned to the hall where the different welcoming addresses were made. The address on behalf of the city was made by Mayor Kevin who in a happy vein welcomed the delegates. The address showed him to be a broad gauged man in strong contrast to his predecessor, Mr. Corby. This address was responded to by G. W. Countee, G. S., of Denver who was equal to the occasion. The welcoming address by J. D. Gancey and Bro. Jones on behali of the local lodges was timely and to the point, after which the Grand body got down to business and the various committees were appointed by the G. M. The reports from the various lodges were gratifying indeed and showed the mto be in a prosperous condition. There were seven new lodges that reported. The insurance feature was the principal matter before the body and was adopted in a way satisfactorily to all. Helena Scores The election of officers resulted as follows: Dr. Spartten, Grand Master Denver; J. B. Bass, Deputy Grand Helena, Montana, Friday, Oct. 30 1909 Master, Helena; G. W. Countee Grand Secretary, Denver; H. Seymore, Grand Treasurer, Colorado Springs, Col.; Dr. Douglass, Grand Auditor, Pueblo. The literary society of theist held its weekly meevening. A warm deba feature of the evening. was as follows: On the evening after adjournment the members and delegates were tendered a grand banquet which will long be remembered. G. W. Countee acted as toast master he was thoroughly at home in that position. He called on Father Bruce who as usual spoke to the point and paid Butte a high tribute in the way she done things. J. B. Bass spoke briefly on the general issues and while he praised, he stood up for Helena. Mrs. D. W. Walton was there for the ladies as was Mrs. Irwin for the Household. The table groaned with the delicacies of the season and the innerman was satisfied to the utmost GRAND LODGE NOTES Grand Master Wardsworth served the district well and was a worthy representative. Chairman Greenlea and Gancey were worthy of all the praise that was given them for the successful way in which they managed their G. W. Counter no wonder that no one is put up against him he is there all the time. And Father Bruce was too a real father to the boys. And after it was all over they all said that Dr. Spratten was the right man in the right place. If Bro. Clark and Seymour had made good what a difference in the morning. And Bro. Henry Davis was not behind the times, he was right there when it comes to mixing and entertaining. Under the leadership of Dr. Spratten we believe that the jurisdiction will grow and flourish like a green bay tree. Golden City was congratulated on all sides for the step which she took. pByetaoin shrdlu cmfwyp vbgkqj mm etaoin shrdlu cmfwyp vbgkq xzz ADD. BUTTE NOTES Editor of The Montana Plaindealer.

Our President Gave Them a Hearty Welcome and Assured Them of Our Lasting Friendship—They Responded—All Lunched Together on Shores of Lake Minnetonka. President Taft Sunday met the 50 members of the Japanese commercial commission at Minenapolis, now touring the United States. He bade them a hearty welcome, assuring them of the lasting friendship of the American people, praising their industry and patriotism, and drank a toast to the prosperity of the Japanese, "the sincere friends of America." The meeting was at a luncheon at the Lafayette club, on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, tendered by the commercial club of Minneapolis. President Taft squoted the idea that there had ever been the slightest danger of trouble between Japan and America. He paid his compliments to the military valor of Japan, and said the country "was then fighting in defense of her rights and the maintenance of her prestige in the field of battle." "But," he declared, "Japan today is fighting for victories of peace, and we all hope she will succeed. We are not going to yield ourselves in that contest, however, if we can help it." President Taft's address, which was filled with the warmest admiration for the Japanese emperor and people, followed a speech of Baron Shibusawa, a prominent banker of Tokio and chairman of the visiting commission, who spoke in his native tongue. He referred to President Taft as "one of the foremost men of the age and a warm and true friend of Japan." Taft Captivates Japanese. Preceding the luncheon the president was introduced to each member of the commission. His hearty words of greeting, his quick recollection of having met many of the visitors during his several visits to Japan and of little incidents in which they had had a part, seemed completely to captivate them. Mr. Taft also received the ladies of the party, declaring to Baroness Shibusawa that America wanted to see more of the ladies of Japan, and to encourage their coming to this country with the men. "It is not fair," said the president, "that Japan should keep back the most charming of her creatures." Greets a Fraternity Man. Baron Kanda, a graduate of Amherst, greeted teh president as a fellow member of the Phi Uusilon fraternity. "Well, well," said the president, "we will shake hands again, but we'll just conceal our grip." To Mr. Dei Kumagea, physician of the imperial university at Tokio, President Taft said: "We have a profound admiration for the physicians of Japan. They taught us the way to stamp out the plague. They taught us to label the rats and by driving them to their holes to wipe out the source of infection. We owe them a lasting debt of gratitude." Jokes With Japanese Broker When Mr. Iwamot, a broker of Osaka, was introduced the president expressed his great interest in the Japanese market methods and laughingly remarked: "I suppose you have bulls and bears." "Oh, yes, sir," replied the broker. "And the lambs, too?" The broker bowed low and passed on. Yale Man Presents Father's Respects. Kojiro Matsukata, president of the Kobe Chamber of Commerce, and a shipbuilder, was only one of what the president remarked as being a "gratifying sprinkling of Yale men along the line." He received most cordial welcome, the president having met him and his father, one of the Ider statesmen of Japan, in their native country. "I bring from my father his humble but sincere good wishes," said Mr. Matsukata, who later, in response to a question from the president, said he graduated from Yale in '88. Taft Refers to Pleasant Incidents With Mr. Otani, president of the Yokohama Chamber of Commerce, President Taft exchanged many pleasant recollections of former associations in Japan. "Mrs. Taft and I remember Yokohama especially well," declared the president, "and we still value most highly the silver service presented us by the chamber of commerce there and which we continue now to use at the White House." Baron Shibusawa, in his address, said: "This is one of the proudest moments of my life. It has just been our good fortune to be introduced to your president and he has been so kind and so gracious that we all individually feel honored and thank him from the bottom of our hearts. "On the eve of our departure on the present mission the emperor honored us in a way quite unique in our history. He graciously invited us to a banquet at one of his palaces, an honor never before given to any private individual, however distinguished, going abroad without any official capacity." English agricultural societies have started a sparrow crusade. Bounties are paid for birds and eggs. LIST OF CENSUS ENUMERATORS Estimate of the Number for Each State Next Year. About 65,000 enumerators will be needed for the thirteenth decennial census of the United States, and also of Hawaii and Porto Rico, according to estimates prepared for Census Director Durand by Geographer Chas. S. Sloane of the census bureau, in whose division the enumerators' districts are defined and fixed. This is an increase of about 11,000 over the number of schedule carriers in the census of 1900. Director Durand points out that the per diem enumerators in 1900, according to the provisions of section 16 of the act approved March 3, 1899, were required to work ten hours a day, but, in the act providing for the thirteenth and subsequent decennial censuses the time is fixed at eight hours a day. This reduction in the daily hours will require an additional number of enumerators in the portions of the country in which the per diem rates will prevail. The present census law requires that the enumeration of the population shall be taken as of the fifteenth day of April, 1910, and the enumerators must forward their returns to the supervisors within thirty days from the commencement of the enumeration, except that in any city having 5000 inhabitants or more at the preceding census the enumeration shall be completed within two weeks. In looking into the details of the estimates, Oklahoma and Washington are conspicuous, as they will call for about a 300 per cent increase over the 1900 force of enumerators. Washington's 397 in 1900 completed the work in 17 days. It is estimated that in 1910 it will require at least 900 counters, owing to the great increase in its population. APPRAISE HARRIMAN ESTATE Few Multi Millionaires Have Left En tire Fortune to Wife. Mrs. Edward H. Harriman, who, by the terms of her husband's will, probably becomes the world's richest woman, is expected to ask for an official appraisement of the financier's estate within two weeks. Until this appraisement is made, nothing definite will be known as to the amount of wealth accumulated by Harriman, but in Wall street it is the common opinion that it will be close to $100,000,000. Among women who have inherited most of their husband's estates may be mentioned Mrs. Russell Sage, who received practically all of Mr. Sage's fortune of $64,000,000; Mrs. William K. Thaw, who inherited more than $10,000,000, and Mrs. Morris K. Jesup, who received $10,000,000 of her husband's $13,000,000 estate. Women who did not share so extensively in their husbands' estate are Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr., who was given $2,000,000 outright and an annuity of $250,000 out of an estate valued at $125,000,000; Mrs. Marshall Field, who received $3,000,000 as a wedding present in lieu of dower interests in a fortune of $200,000,000; and Mrs. James Henry Smith, who received $3,000,000 in lieu of dower interest in her husband's fortune of $30,-000,000. ARE FARMERS IN GRAIN TRUST? Coast Shippers Say Union Violates Sherman Law. Portland, Ore.—Evidence is now before the interstate commerce commission, the coast grain combine and transportation companies would have one believe, which tends to show that the greatest "farmers' trust" in the northwest exists in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act. This evidence is so strong, say corporation lawyers, who represent that they succeeded in eliciting it at the present hearing on the Astoria grain rate case, that they assert it to be subsanial basis for criminal procedure against the officers and directors of the Farmers' Educational Cooperative union, one of the complainants in the issues now before Commissioner Clark. These attorneys of opponents of the farmers' union allege that according to the testimony of members of the union the organization is a secret society and its purpose is to control the price, sale, disposition and movement of grain. "It is the clearest case of violation of the Sherman act I ever saw," commented George T. Reid, general western counsel for the Northern Pacific, one of the defendant corporations. "If anybody wanted to prosecute the union I believe it could be dissolved in a minute and the members punished under the provisions of the Sherman law." GETS CONTRACT, R. R. SUPPLIES Steamboat Company Will Carry Outfit for Brewster Road. The Columbia & Okanogan Steamboat company has entered into a contract to carry all the supplies and outfit to Brewster for A. W. Guthrie & Co., Minneapolis contractors, who have the contract for the construction of the Droville-Brewster railroad. J. C. O'Brien, foreman for the company, says that the contract price is $2,000,000 and the contract was awarded for 70 miles of road. Sovereign Grand Lodge I. O. O. F The sovereign grand lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the United States and Canada is in session this week at Seattle in Odd Fellows' temple, at which 25,000 members of the order are present, coming from every state in the Union. Estimates have been laid before the Freewater council by G. H. Sutherland of Walla Walla for a system of waterworks for that city. ITEMS OF IDAHO, MONTANA, WASHINGTON AND OREGON. A Few Interesting Items Gathered From Our Exchanges of the Surrounding Country—Numerous Accidents and Personal Events Take Place—Fall Outlook Is Good. WASHINGTON STATE NEWS. Epirata is to have a new bank soon. W. B. Campbell of Toppenish has invented a new wheel for generating power. The feature of this wheel is that in operation it is submerged in the stream and part of its paddlers open to receive the current, while the others close to cut through it. Probably one of the most methodical prisoners ever confined in the Spokane county jail is Edward Scholl, convicted Saturday of killing Henry Foulstraw near Colbert last July. Dennis D.

The contract for the addition to the Palace hotel at Pullman has been let for $17,500. Reclining on his squalid couch and inhaling the fumes of opium, Lee Chung, a Chinese cook of Walla Walla, set fire to his room and perished. Fred Lugenbuhl, 43 years old, a laborer employed near Cashmere, committed suicide Sunday by cutting his throat. The resignation of E. M. Denton as manager of the Kerr-Gifford company at Waitsburg has removed from the ranks of pioneer grain dealers of the Inland Empire a prominent figure. It is reported the combine wants no union grain, as the "old line" agents at Washutuca decline to buy from farmers' warehouses, but decline to say whether the concerns have entered into an agreement. Marshal Middleton, a 15 year old boy, was thrown from a wagon during a runaway near the gate of the state fair grounds, North Yakima, and died a few minutes later. Governor Hay has appointed Mayor Mitchell Harris of Olympia to succeed the late colonel Fred D. Huestis of Olympia as a member of the state capitol commission.

The Stimpson Mill company of Seattle has purchased from the Port Blakeley Milling company 2200 acres of timber land in Snohomish county, located near the mill town of Bryant, for $300,000 cash. The property purchased cruised recently 130,000,000 feet of standing timber. Two-thirds of the trees are Douglas fir and the remainder chiefly cedar. Laundrymen from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia met at Spokane this week in annual convention. After being out for two hours the jury in the case of Charley Phillips, a halfbreed, who in July, 1908, shot and killed Roll Siebert, brought in a verdict of murder in the second degree at Conconully. The bank clearances in Spokane for the week ending Saturday were $4,907,997, an increase of 44 per cent over the same week last year. Declaring that the defendant had waived the statute of limitations, the supreme court at Olympia has reversed the decision of a lower court in Whitman county against W. B. Stevenson. Although they have traced down every clue, flooded the country with photos and descriptions, the police department of Tacoma is about ready to admit its inability to solve three brutal but mysterious murders which have taken place in Pierce county within the past few months.

Barbor of the Lewiston land office have rejected 67 filings out of 117 offered by the state in the townships opened for entry July 1. The land is located east of Bovill and Clarkia and was withdrawn from the Coeur d'Alene national forest, the application for survey having been made prior to the order of withdrawal made by President Roosevelt in 1906. A week more will be required to finish up the grain harvest in Nez Perce and Idaho counties, and if weather conditions remain favorable most of the grain will be in the warehouses by October 1. President William H. Taft will set his teeth in luscious flame Tokay grapes when he is banqueted at Hayden lake on his western trip, for the Lewiston Commercial club has set to work to get the finest specimens grown in Idaho vineyards for the occasion of the Idaho game dinner.

Stevens of the Oregon Trunk line as head of the North Bank road, Jim Hill's "pet," according to an unofficial report. Ruth Bickell, 18 years, committed suicide at the Portland sanitarium Saturday by swallowing bichloride of mercury. The girl had been a patient at the sanitarium for three years. The girl's parents live in Olympia. The body of a young woman found recently in the Willamette river has been identified as that of Miss Louisa Rice, whose disappearance six months ago created considerable excitement in Portland. Whether Miss Rice committed suicide or was murdered, or met with accidental death, may never be definitely determined, but the former theory is advanced because of the fact that the young woman was despondent over an operation which she dreaded. MONTANA NOTES. This month has been the wettest September ever experienced in the Virginia section of the state. Heavy snow has accompanied almost daily rains, causing immense damage. Fields of grain in the Madison and Ruby valleys have been crushed to the ground. District Judge Webster of Missoula has decided that the playing of the card game of solo in a saloon is an offense against the law, even if it was not shown that the game was for money, chips or other articles of value. The roundup of the remainder of the Pablo buffalo herd on the Flathead reservation, which has been purchased by Canada, was resumed this week by Michel Pablo and his 12 riders. This last spring, after weeks were spent in a vain effort to corral the monarchs of the plains, dispatches announced that the last shipment had been made to Canada and that the remainder of the herd would be presented to the United States by the Canadian government. This was erroneous. The Canadian government does not own the herd; it pays for only the animals delivered across the line in sound condition. Seventy thousand acres of land near Conrad, placed under irrigation by a private corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Carey act and under the supervision of the state land board, is about to be thrown open to settlement. The land will be sold to the settlers at 50 cents an acre, and perpetual water rights, which must be bought from the corporation irrigating the land, will cost 40 per acre. In accordance with the Carey act, this land can be obtained by a residence of 30 days, providing the purchaser engages some one else to build a house and improves at least one-eighth of his land during the two years following the placing of water upon the land. This land will be distributed to prospective settlers in the same manner as are the government reservations—by lottery. Registration for this drawing will be from October 1 to 6. The drawing will begin on the following day and will be directly under the supervision of the Montana state land board. These 70,000 acres are a part of the 1,000,000 acres which, under the Carey act, the government turned over to each state which contained semi-arid lands. Brooms to Cost More Two hundred dollars a ton for broom corn is now predicted by men in the trade. Wisconsin farmers are refusing $150 for broom corn in the field. Buyers are frantic, while the farmers are standing pat. Magic lanterns were invented in the seventeenth century. DR. COOK SAYS LET HIM PROVE HE WAS AT NORTH POLE. World Has Yet to See His Proofs— Cook Says His Record Is an Open Book—Has Been Recognized by King of Sweden and President Taft and Many Others. On Board the Oscar II, off Nantucket. —Dr. Frederick A. Cook has made the following statement to the world: "My desire to get on American soil increases with every mile left behind by the Oscar II. The vessel is doing her best record, although delayed occasionally, amking 400 miles in the last 24 hours. "Commander Peary's unfortunate accusations have disclosed another side of his character. The specific records of my journey are accessible to every one who reads and all can decide for themselves when Peary presents his report. "Commander Peary has as yet given to the world no proofs of his own case. My claim has been fully recognized by Denmark and by the king of Sweden; the president of the United States has wired me his confidence; my claim has been accepted by the international bureau of polar research at Brussels; most of the geographical societies of Europe have sent me congratulations, which mean faith and acceptance for the present, and almost every explorer of note has come forward with warm and friendly approval. "A specific record of my journey is accessible to all, and every one who reads can decide for himself. When Peary publishes a similar report, then our cases are parallel. Why should Peary be allowed to make himself a self-appointed distator of my affairs? In justice to himself, in justice to the world and to guard the honor of national prestige, he should be compelled to prove his own case; he should publish at once a preliminary narrative to be compared with mine and let fair-minded people ponder over the matter while the final records by which my case may be eventually proven are being prepared. "I know Peary the explorer. As such he is a hero of arctic annals, and deserves the credit of a long and hard record. To Peary, the explorer, I am still willing to tip my hat, but Peary's unfound d accusations have disclosed another side of his character which never will be forgotten. "When Peary wired that he had nailed the Stars and Stripes to the pole, I immediately sent congratulations. I then believed, as I do now, that his work over a new route far east of my line of travel, was a new conquest of great importance, and, of course, that his observations at the pole would supplement my work with valuable detail. There is room enough and honor enough for two American flags at the pole." Cook Arrives. Dr. Cook arrived in New York on Tuesday. Exhibits Larger and Better Than Ever While the Attendance Is Beyond All Expectations. The Spokane Interstate fair opened Monday with the largest number of exhibits in every department on record, and with one of the best amusement programs ever given in the Inland Empire. The Commercial Travelers initiated thousands into the mysteries of their calling by a parade of floats and an industrial display, which terminated at the fair grounds, and it was one of the longest and most interesting processes seen for many years. It introduced the original store of the Hudson Bay company, the old stage coach of the Montana Bad Lands, driven by W. W. Tuttle, former mayor of Fernie, B. C., and a veteran of the stage box; hotel life of the drummer, the dining room of a country tavern, a country depot scene familiar to travelers, and a $10,000 dining roo beauty riding on a camel and escorted by drummers in Arabian costumes. There was a water wagon, with a life-preserving squad, a kangaroo court and "Black Maria" for prisoners, scores of clowns, Roman charriots, wild animals in cages, and the entire equipment of Parker's Circus company, which is exhibiting in Fun Lane, as the Midway at the fair grounds has been named this year. The parade wound up with nearly 200 floats and automobiles, representing all lines of trade in Spokane. The afternoon at the fair grounds was given over to sports for the children, and to pacing and running races and a fine vaudeville program. There was also a thrilling four horse Roman chariot race of one-half mile between Davidson and Henschell, and a balloon and parachute race with four contestants. Livestock Exhibits The attendance was large throughout the afternoon, despite the threatening weather, and all the special exhibit halls, stalls and tents were thronged. The livestock exhibit from the Minnesota State fair en route to the A.-Y-P exposition at Seattle, comprising 11 carloads of the finest selections from the herds of the middle west, attracted much attention, while the swine and sheep exhibits of eastern Washington were declared by all as unexcelled. The poultry show had some 500 birds in pens and cages under a huge canvas tent, on the opening day, with hundreds more on the way, and this department was the finest ever seen. The mineral exhibit occupies double the space of any ever held before, and every mine of importance in Washington, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia sent samples of ore. The dog show was also a record breaker, and the entries were many prize winners from the recent kennel shows at Salt Lake and Butte. Night Program The evening performance, which is to be repeated nightly throughout the week, was "The Siege of Jericho," a biblical drama with a fireworks display, in which 300 actors took book part. interspersed between the nets there was a vaudeville program. acts there was a vaudeville program.

The Great Northern liner Minnesota, which recently brought from the orient the most valuable cargo that ever crossed the Pacific, sailed for the far east Saturday with a heavy load, indicating improved trade with Asia. The cargo includes 400,000 feet of lumber for Manila; 180,000 sacks of flour, most of which is for China; 222 bales of cotton and 2300 cases of canned salmon for China, as well as general merchandise. LATE SPORTING NEWS Seattle is first and Spokane second in the Northwestern league. Pittsburg won the pennant in the National league. San Francisco leads the Pacific coast league. Detroit and Philadelphia are fighting hard for first place in the American league. Newark, N. J.—At the vellodrome track here Sunday the one-mile professional national championship bicycle race was won by Frank Kramer of East Orange, N. J., in 3 imutes, 28 seconds. New Orleans—Packy McFarland and Ray Bronson fought 20 rounds to a draw in McDonoughville, across the river from New Orleans, Sunday afternoon. Fred Tenny, veteran baseball player of the New York Nationals, has told Manager McGraw he had played his last game in the major league. He then left for his home at Winthrop highlands, near Boston. He has been injured several times this year and is convinced that he is practically through with baseball playing. Allen of Seattle is leading the pitchers to date in the Northwestern league. Frisk is still best at bat, and Penroll is the "iron man," while Altman is leading the bunters and Campbell fastest on bases. With the thundering hoofs of eight strong, panting, excited horses, eight abreast, and the rousing cheers of the spectators Professor Davidson and Herr Henschell will combat for supremacy around the entire one-half-mile track at the Spokane Interstate fair every afternoon this week. At the New York state state fair recently Barney Oldfield, on a one mile circular track, went 25 miles in a gasoline stock car in 25:40. He asserts this is the world's record for a stock car. Whitman college is to have a mammoth stadium for the accommodation of the crowds at the fall football games to be played at Walla Walla. Jack Johnson and Stanley Ketchell have decided to try conclusions at the motor racing game. The University of Washington is planning to take on two post-season games this year. The Iowa State college team of Ames, Iowa, is negotiating for a game, and the southern California university is ready to take the Seattle huskies on after the close of the regular season. George J. Higgins of Boston has been secured by the athletic committee of Oregon Agricultural college to coach the boxing, wrestling and fencing teams this year. Bowling in Spokane seems to be on he boom. The work of the Palouse towns in organizing the Trolley league for next year is a good boost for the game. This week the football teams will start work in earnest for the season of 1909. H. L. Wilson, the big 180 pound tackle of Whitman college last fall, is back with the missionaries and will be out every night for regular practice. The drafting season is over for Spokane this year, and Manager Brown can now figure out where he will be able to start next season. Holm, Killilay and Burnett will be taken from the Indians by the draft route, and Gregg will go to Cleveland by sale. Gov. Johnson Died Tuesday Gov. Johnson Died Tuesday Rochester, Minn., Sept. 22. — Governor John A. Johnson, three times elected governor of Minnesota and a candidate for the democratic nomination for president of the United States, looked upon by many as the possible democratic candidate in 1912, died early Tuesday morning, following an operation a week ago. Governor Johnson was born of Swedish parents 47 years ago. But as that first event took place in the little town of St. Peter, Minn., he was a native American. More than that he was the first native son of Minnesota to be elected governor. Efforts to utilize the spider's web for practical purposes were made as early as 1710 in France. WASHINGTON SOCIETY WOMEN WHO COULD RELY UPON THEIR TALENTS FOR A LIVELIHOOD The claim that Washington-women are the most generously talented and variously cultivated of any in the country is borne out, the Washington Post says, by a knowledge of theastes and capabilities of many women who are regarded chiefly as charmestesses or admired belles. The most notable instance of a Washington woman of leisure who has made a name for herself, not only throughout the country, but also throughout the world, is, of course, Miss Mabel Boardman. Although she has always sought to keep herself in the background so far as the affairs of the society are concerned, Miss Boardman is admitted the "whole show" in Red Cross affairs. President Taft, who has been for several years the head of the organization, gladly gives the credit for much of the success to Miss Boardman. To a man—and all the other members of the central committee of the organization are men—the governing body of the Red Cross delights to sing Miss Boardman's praises. Few of those who meet her socially realize that Miss Boardman's mornings are invariably devoted to the work at Red Cross headquarters, and that she works as hard as any sold employee of the organization. Not many persons are aware that the first lady of the land, Mrs. Taft, has a diploma from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music which entitles her to teach. Mrs. Taft is perhaps the finest pianist among the smart set, and has pald much attention to the development of her talent. As Miss Helen Herron in Cincinnati she was asked for her interpretations of the masterpieces of musical literature. SOUL AND BODY. Where wert thou, Soul, ere yet my body born Became thy dwelling place? Didst thou on earth, Or in the clouds, await this body's birth? Or by what chance upon that winter's morn Didst thou this body find, a babe forlorn? Didst thou in sorrow enter or in mirth? Or for a jest, perchance, to try its worth Thou tookest flesh, ne'er from it to be torn? May, Soul, I will not mock thee; well I know Thou wert not on the earth, nor in the sky: But with that body's death wilt thou too die? know not, and thou canst not tell me. so In doubt we'll go together—thou and I. Samuel Waddington. The Tragedy of a Diamond Star "And how did you come to this for- lorn condition?" inquired the sweet- faced old lady as she set down another chicken sandwich and a glass of milk on the porch rail. "You do not look like an ordinary tramp." His breast heaved with emotion. "Madam," he declared, ravenously attacking the sandwich. "I am not a common hobo. I am a man with a past. Once whole cities bowed down and worshiped me. I was a lion. Alas! In a brief moment all my honors vanished and I became a broken- hearted has-been. Think what I once was and then look at me now." "Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you to regain what you have lost, the suggested, kindly. "No, madam," he said, hopelessly. "It is too late. But I don't mind telling you about it, although it is a bitter tale. I was center gardener for the old Red Legs, ma'am, in the days when Pop Anson and Brouthers and all of those old heroes were in their prime. I used to reach up into the clouds and pull out the high ones with one hand, and often I picked 'em off the top board of a fence with two fingers and a thumb, and the roar that went up from the bleachers sounded like a fat man falling down a coal hole." A tear dropped from his eyes and rolled down his grimly cheek. The world was very rosy then," he went on, washing down the last of the sandwich with a swallow of milk. "It was all floral horseshoes and silver showers for me, and whenever I trot out in a practice heat I got the glad hand and the merry yell. I had my picture in all the papers and I had Musicians also concede her ability, and as a concert pianist Mrs. Taft might, had she chosen to do so, have become almost as well known to the people of the United States as she now is. Miss Helen Taft is still so young that her talents and tastes are little known to the public. She inherits the fondness for study which is inherent in the Taft family, and has always been among the leaders in the classes of the schools which she has attended. In addition to her scholastic pursuits, Miss Taft is an authority on old china, and is quite capable of writing a treatise which would be valuable as a guide, to collectors. Mrs. James Bryce, wife of the British ambassador, holds first place in Washington as a maker of salads. In this much appreciated art she has shown an inventiveness that amounts to genius, and her skill has given her the place pre-eminent even in the diplomatic corps, many masculine members of which proudly boast of their skill as chefs. Mrs. Bryce's celebrated salads are responsible for a fever of emulation which has agitated many Washington households, but thus far her laurels as the best salad maker of the local smart set have remained undisturbed. One of the rarest abilities possessed by a Washington woman is that of Mrs. James Cecil Hooe, who is an expert accountant. From her father, the late Representative Nelson Dingley, of Malne, author of the Dingley tariff bill, Miss Edith Dingley, now Mrs. Hooe, inherits her grasp of facts and figures, two things for which the majority of her sex have little fondness. millionalres carrying my sweater and helping me on with my coat. I was a top-notch sticker, too, and whenever I came up to the pan the fielders got way out and the pitcher sent 'em in wide to keep me from laminin' 'em on the nose for a homer." "I don't know that I quite understand," she said. "Lammin' 'em on the nose for a homer means puttin' 'em over the pickets for four sacks," he explained, making it all clear. "It was easy for me in those days, ma'mam. When I swung at one everybody breathed hard and waited for 'em to go over the fence and hunt for it. The ump always got ready to toss up a fresh one when he saw me at the pan." "But how did you come to—to get down on your luck?" she interrupted. He sighed and thrilled with a rush of emotion. "Madam," he said, "I am coming to that soon. I remember the day as well as though it were yesterday. It was bright and sunny, and everybody was limbered up and shooting 'em through. We was fightin' th' old Utica Blues. They had four to our three, and it was the last half of the ninth. We was on the firin' line. Two of ours was dead and two on the lines. I was up at the plate. The cheer I got when I grabbed my willow and dusted me hands sounded like Casar comin' home from Galway. I shut "ONE STRIKE." my teeth and picked out a board in the fence to send it over." She grew interested. "The Blues had put in a new flinger in the eighth—a scrawty college kid from New Haven. I sized him up for a glass arm, and went in to kill th' first one. I lammed at it with plenty of steam, but it skidded in close to my slats and I felt th' wind of it in my shirt. The next thing I heard was the thump of it in the catcher's glove and the umps callin' 'Strike!' "I was surprised, and so was the bleachers. But I knew it only took one to kill it, and I waited for th' next one. It came sailing along as big as a football, and I figured on drivin' E Her delight in these two prosalic realms led her to make a study of accounting, and her work on the schedule of the tariff bill is remembered with something akin to awe by all her friends. Of fine singers and graceful dancers there is no lack among the fair daughters of Washington, but there are several who excel their friends in these two arts. The most gifted dancer in Washington is Miss Olga Converse, daughter of the late Admiral Converse. After her appearance in the amateur play, "We Are in Society," Miss Converse received offers from several of the biggest theatrical managers in the United States, who put forth great inducements to tempt her to join their productions. The hit she made would have turned the head of almost any other girl. Miss Converse is a true daughter of Terpsichore, and her twinkling feet are capable of evolutions which even the most graceful of her friends are not able to rival. it. But just as I swung at it it blew in' down somebody in the street with it. But just as I swung at it is blew out to one side about a yard and dropped in th' catcher's glove with a thud. An' then somebody in th' bleachers hollered. 'Take him out—he's sold th' game.' "Madam, that made me a desperate man. All of my future hung on that next ball. It came lobbin' up like a bunch of bananas on a string an' I aimed for its nose an' let go!" He wiped his eye with the back of his hand, overcome by the recollection. "I figured on hittin' it on th' trademark, ma'm, as honest as me 'tellin' you this sad story. But it shot up about two inches like a boy sittin' on a hornet and I just popped up a little foul that the catcher gobbled like an elephant swallowin' a peanut, madam. I was out of the battle, an' the Utica Blues had us trimmed to a sowsle." Another big tear rolled down his cheek and he sobbed convulsively. "Something broke loose in the bleachers then like a den of lions smellin' fresh meat," he continued. "They came down through the wire nettin' and fell on me in bunches of twenty or thirty. They thought I had sold 'em out, those mullygrubs I'd helped to fly three battle flags for, and they thirsted for my blood. Somebody whistled for the police, but before they came a pop bottle got me on the head and I went down for th' count. It was a crime, ma'am, th' tings they did to me. "The police pried forty or fifty of them off my scalp, laid me on a door and six of 'em carried me to the hospital. They sewed me up in a couple of hours and I was six weeks on a bed. When I got out I was canned." "Yes'm, canned!" he repeated. "Canned! Extinguished! Bushleagued! Chased! Fired! And all because a college kid from New Haven sent 'em up crooked from th' firn' line. We never used crooked ones in th' old days, ma'am. They was new to me. Up to that time I was a hero, but just because I fell down that once and didn't deliver the goods they shot me down th' chutes." He strode thoughtfully down the road and the sweet-faced old lady watched him sympathetically. "The poor old veteran!" she exclaimed. "I wonder what battle it was?"—Indianapolis Star. The Duty of Forgiveness. The most plain and natural sentiments of equity concur with divine authority to enforce the duty of forgiveness. Let him who has never, in his life, done wrong, be allowed the privilege of remaining inexorable. But let such as are conscious of frailties and crimes consider forgiveness as a debt which they owe to others—Blair. Thinking One's Self Old.

This cure is cheaper than a European trip. It commends itself better to husbands, too. "For my part, I like the kind of woman who prefers the cooking to the travel cure. Deliver me from the kind of woman that is too big for her job. "Up near Irwin Island I know one of these objectionable women. Her husband was going fishing the other day. He said bitterly: "My fishing trousers haven't a single button on them!" "How unfortunate!" said his wife. 'Now, if you're drowned, it will be so easy to identify your body, won't it, dear?' "No,' the husband roared. 'For all the other chaps in the crowd are married, too!'" The barefoot boy had carefully broken his fishing pole across his knee and tossed it into the stream. "What's the trouble?" asked the passing stranger. "Been fishing all afternoon. Did not get a bite. If I could have brought home a mess o' fish I might have squared it for shakin' that hoss an plow." "But why did you break the fishing pole?" "I'm willing to take what's comin' to me, mister, but I don't see why I should save dad the trouble of cuttin' his own switch." "Ay tank Ay go across the street and get the tailor to mend my waist," drawled the Swedish foreman, showing his employer a ragged vest. "All right, John."
