For Clerk Supreme Court JOHN T. ATHEY For Railroad Commissioner E. A. MORELY While some of the impatient had began to despair of president Taft to accord the race the recognition which they expected he gives to them one of the very richest plums at his command in the appointment of W. H. Lewis of Boston as assistant attorney general. Chairman Waite of the State Central Committee is conducting a winning campaign and the election of the Republican State ticket is assured. Vote for Theodore Brantley for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. We note a Republican meeting called for Wednesday night at the old Elks' hall for the colored Republicans with the usual refreshment appendage. It is also called by the Republican club. Inquiry fails to reveal just who composes this club or its officers. Now we have no objection to anybody calling a meeting and furnishing whatever they want rake-off and all; but if they do they should come out in the open. No meeting looks good to us called under cover, with a delicate hesitancy in saying who is calling and responsible for the same, now we confess as well as we are acquainted that we know of no Republican Club extant. But we will bide our time and find out who it is that constitutes themselves as the colored Republican Club. Work and vote for Albert L. Holter for the legislature. At any rate, with Walton to elect as Constable, the colored voters must avoid splitting up infactions, Independents, Insurgents and Regulars must all pull together. J. H. CARMICHAEL FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER J. H. Carmichael the republic an candidate is the logical candidate to support for County Commissioner for the 6 year term. Four years ago he served a short term in that position and gave such satisfaction that his constituents were much pleased at his nomination by the republican county convention and are giving to him a loyal support, he is one of the foremost business men of the county and holds large interests. He will no doubt be elected and serve the people even more faithful for the 6 year term than for the short term. The masses of the people recognize in him a safe and reliable man who will in every way guard the interests of all the people and will give to him a united support so that his election will be assured beyond preadventure. Dr. B. V. McCABE FOR CORONER For Coroner of Lewis and Clark county, Dr. B. V. McCabe should receive a hearty support from all classes. He will play no favorites in that position, he is eminently qualified and the people are fortunate in having such a man who is aspiring for this place. Since practicing his profession in this city he has acquired an enviable practice and along with his paying practice he has went to the relief of many who were not able to pay for medical service, all of which shows the broad spirit of the man. The people at large will not fail to appreciate these qualities and there is no question of his triumphant election at the polls on November 8th. THOS. H. SPRATT FOR ASSESSOR. For County Assessor, Thos. H. Spratt who has so faithfully served the people as Auditor for the past four years is the Republican candidate. We have known Mr. Spratt ever since we have been publishing this paper and know him to be friendly to the progress of all the people and there should be no hesitation in giving to him a hearty support. Billy Wheaton, Republican candidate for County Clerk is one of the wide awake, hustling young Republicans of Lewis and Clark county, and the people could not lend their support to more worthy man for this position. ALBERT L. HOLTER FOR REPRESENTATIVE Albert L.. Holter republican candidate for the house of represntatives is a native Montanan, born in this city, in the year of 1874, he is a representative of the young element of the party and is in every way worthy of the support of all classes of the people. He is a representative of business interests and being reared here is thoroughly acquainted with the needs and wishes of all the people. He is conservative to a high degree and liberal in his views and we predict for him as a lawmaker to make in that position an enviable record. Mr. Holter is a plain straight forward business man easy of approach and the masses will ap preciate that same and give to him a loyal support all along the line. There is no question that with a legislative ticket which will have to vote for a United States Senator where we should line up, in this cast it is as Douglas said, the republican party is the ship and all else is the sea. Helena, Montana, Friday, October 28 1910 A. J. Walton for constable is receiving assurances of a strong support from all classes. There is no question of his election everybody get in line. Cap. Adamson maintains his big lead in the race for Constable and there is no question of his election. It is Adamson and Walton in a walk. M. L. Higgins for his second term as sheriff is making a winning fight and no doubt will be re-elected by a handsome majority. BILLINGS NOTES The campaign is raging hot and the colored voter is much in demand. Mrs. Theodore Carman has been very sick with the pneumonia at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Reynolds under the skillful care of Dr. Chapelle and the careful nursing of Mrs. Reynolds is now convalescent. Work and vote for Albert L. Holter for the legislature. COLORED AMERICANS GAIN 14.397 ON U. S. PAYROLL Republicans Poine to Army of Negroes They Have Given Places— High Offices for Black Men. Claim Credit for Emancipation and Denounce Democrats as Unfriendly to the Colored Race. A direct appeal for the Negro vote in the coming Congressional election is made in the Republican textbook, mainly on the gorund that the party in power has shown "justice" to the Negro by appointing him to Federal offices. This discloses for the first time the extent to which Negroes have been given Government preferment. There are nearly 15,000 Negrose employed by the Government. They total salaries aggregating $8,255,761. Eleven are officials of the Diplomatic and Consular Service; 11 are officers in the United States Army; nearly 3,000 are employed in the Postal Service. The number employed in departments in Washington is 5,768,703 of whom are in the Treasury, 571 in the Government Printing Office and 421 in the Department of the Interior.

Says Republicans Freed Negroes The campaign book quotes extracts from the speeches of acceptance of Taft and Sherman to show that they "stand squarely on the equal justice plank," and in discussing the attitude of the Republican party toward the Negro the campaign managers say: "Prior to the advent of Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party about 4,000,000 Afro-Americans were held in bondage in the Southern States, then, as now, controlled by the Democrats, and when the Republican party elected Lincoln President thus setting the stamp of disapproval upon the Democratis desires, these Democratic Southern States seceded from the Union and attempted to set up a Confederacy, with human slavery as the chief cornerstone. "The Republican party determined that the Confederacy should be destroyed; that the Union should be preserved; and true to its principles and in keeping with his own declarations, the Great Emancipator struck the shackles from the limbs of the bondmen. Following the freedmon of the slaves came their enlistment in the army and navy, and by this act the names of 200,000 Afro-Americans were added to the honor roll. The leaders of the Republican party, feeling that their work was far from completed, framed and passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments and the States ratified their action, thus making slavery impossible and confirming the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people.

Education North and South BUTTE NOTES T. J. Walker is a prima-a-favorite in the race for County Attorney. Charley Jones is a rustler around the political' headquarters. Quite a bunch came over from Anaconda to see the female minstrels and the big cake walk Quite a number of our people are for ex-Mayor MacGinnis, Roy S. Allen and H. Galloway for representatives and senator. THE FEMALE MINISTRELS PLEASE The Georgia Female Minstrels under the management of J. E. Taylor assisted by J. C. Brown at the auditorium on last Thursday evening were pronounced by all a success. They were greeted by quite a crowd and each number received a hearty round of applause. Worthy of special mention was the singing of Miss Savada Brown who seems to have had past experience in her favor, her voice was fine as well as her aptitude to stage work, she was heartily encored. Also Gertie Malone was a surprise to all with an excellent voice. She was also encored. J. E. Taylor proved himself the primer comedian of the northwest and his work all around was of a high order. The chorus was good and all acquitted themselves with credit. While the cake walk feature could be much improved, the couple Mr. and Mrs. Lewis fairly won the honor of winning the cake. Deacon Short Fenter was on hand looking over his flock he has not preferred charges yet, however. POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS. The articles under this heading are paid political write-ups. and open to all who care for newspaper space. ROY S. ALLEY FOR REPRESENTATIVE Roy S. Alley is one of the broadguaged citizens who is making a winning campaign for representative from this county. He was born in the state of Nebraska in 1876. And by hard work he attained the place which he occupies today as one of the leading legal lights of this section. He believes in fair play to all and those who know him are enthusiastic in giving to him their support and have enlisted for him quite a number of our people and predict for him a splendid success. FOR REPRESENTATIVE The colored voters of Butte will recognize in John Macginnis as the only Mayor which Butte has had in recent years that has accorded them recognition, during the time which he was mayor there was at all times on the pay-roll of the city a colored man. And believing in the principles to support those who helps the race, he is receiving a hearty support from the colored voters of this city. H. O. GALLEWAY FOR SENATOR There is no man in the whole county of Silver Bow more popular than H. O. Galloway, who is a leading candidate for the state senate, he also is receiving a strong support for senator. Ike Hayes, the old war horse says he is a sure winner and all the boys are lining up for him, he is broadgauged and progressive and will be among the winners. FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY OF SILVER BOW COUNTY Thos. J. Walker regardless of party lines is receiving a strong support for re-election to the office of County Attorney from all classes of the people of this county. He is a man of the people and has come to his present station the hardest way having worked in the mines and smelters in this vicinity. 25 of the 33 years which he carries he has spent in this city going to our public schools, graduating with honors, he was born in the Keystone state of Pennsylvania in 1877. He took a cours of law in the university of Virginia where he also graduated with high honors; was elected and served Silver Bow in the Lower House in 1905 and served as chief deputy under prosecuting attorney Healy from 1905 to 0% when he was elected as County Attorney and is now serving his first term. He has filled the position with signal ability and made an enviable record as the prosecuting officer of Silver Bow county. He has been fair to all classes and has not in any manner stopped to persecute with him it has always been a square deal for everybody and no one of whatever nationality, color or creed have had cause to complain of Tom Walker's conduct of the important office of County Attorney and as a consequence he is receiving a hearty support from all sources regardless of party affiliations.

A fatty gift bag is somewhat newer than the Jack Horner bag. It is a pretty way of dispensing souvenirs to the children and adds an element of mystery that youngsters love. They may be just as expensive or cheap as the hostees wishes. First select the requisite number of toys or favors, wrap neatly in tissue paper of two Dresses for Girls A THE FASHION OF THE WORLD IN THE 19TH CENTURY. THE dress at the left is for a girl of fourteen to sixteen years, and is made up in butcher blue linen; the skirt is close-fitting and is trimmed at the lower edge by two bands of darker-colored linen, or striped linen would be smart. The blouse is one of the ever-favorite one-piece styles, with Claudine cuffs and collar of plaited lawn. Material required: 5 yards 48 inches wide. The second costume is for a girl from sixteen to eighteen years, and might be carried out in Shantung, casement cloth or linen; a wide panel is taken down the front of the dress, joined to the sides by a wrapped seam, where it is trimmed with oval --- colors, one for boys and one for girls; tie very securely with colored cord or ribbon. Pale green and pink or red and white make good combination of colors. Get a large brown paper sack from the grocer, one that will hold all the parcels without crowding. Now cover this bag with a dainty crepe paper and make two bows of ribbon; fasten on either side of the bag quite low down. Attach a ribbon to each parcel (very narrow) three-quarters of a yard long. These ribbons fall over the top of the bag when it is tied up and look very pretty. Next blindfold each child, one at a time, and let them walk to the bag and select a ribbon, standing perfectly still, when all have ribbons they are pulled good and hard, the bag bursts and each one has a favor. Sometimes the children are given a stout cane and each allowed a strike at the bag until it bursts. A hostess may choose her own method. For very small children a little tale may be told of how a good fairy has filled the bag for the party, and interest will rise to fever heat by the time the bag is opened. An Experience Party The invitations for this novel affair were given over the telephone, without which how did we ever live, move and have our being? The hostess asked each of her twelve guests to come prepared to tell in five minutes some incident of their summer. Most of them had been on various vacation trips. In this way an hour's entertainment was delightfully furnished. Then there was a reading that lasted 20 minutes given by a friend who was good enough to share some of her unpublished stories. The place cards laid on the tables spread on the porch were all foreign scenes collected by the hostess. Delicious sandwich rolls were served, iceed coffee, olives, salted nuts and bonbons. A Magazine Game. Some time ago the request came for a repetition of a certain magazine guessing contest. This one was sent by a Chicago reader and I hope will be what is needed. 1.

"You are not looking well, Mrs. Willington." "No; I haven't slept well lately." "What's the trouble? Has the hot weather affected you?" "Oh, no, it isn't that." "I'll tell you what it is. You ought to give up the practise of drinking coffee at night. I know a lot of people who toss awake all night after they have been out to a late dinner and finished with coffee. I had to quit it myself." "I'm sure that isn't the cause of my trouble." "Have you seen a doctor?" "No. A doctor couldn't help me any." "But how can you tell until you go to one and let him examine you?" "Well, if you must know, I'm worrying about my husband. He hasn't ticked at the size of the bills lately, and he's been so kind and even-tempered right along for a month or two that I feel almost sure he must be loading a double life. Ah, if he would only get to grumbling and making it disagreeable around the house brain!" All They Could Afford. "Sir," said the indignant citizen, "I found a fishworm in my hydrant this morning." "I'm very sorry," replied the com- plaint clerk, "that we cannot afford to supply you with fish, but at the pres- ent low rate for water the best we can do is to furnish bait." MENTALLY UNBALANCED. J. F. "Why was Doctor Gruet expelled from the medical society?" "For unprofessional conduct." "What did he do?" "It was what he didn't do. He neglected an opportunity to perform an operation on a rich patient." An Interruption. Among the primary pupils enrolled in a Baltimore school there this term is the son of a prominent business man of that city. One afternoon at close of school the youngster sought out his father in his office, to whom he said: "Dad, I'm getting tired of school. I think I'll quit." "Why," asked the astonished parent, "what's the matter, Tommy? I thought you were fond of going to school." "So I am, dad," responded the youngster, repressing a yawn, "but it breaks up the day so."—Harper's Magazine. Weighed In. Picking up a sharp knife from the meat stand the customer extends it to the butcher with the remark: "I haven't any use for it, but you may cut it off, and I'll take it along anyhow." "Cut what out?" gasps the astonished butcher. "Your hand. You weighed it with the roast, you know, and I want all I pay for."—Life. Not So Bad Mrs. Myles—You wasn't at the bridge party yesterday? Mrs Styles—No; I was detained by sickness at home. Mrs. Myles—So sorry! I hope your dear little dog Fido wasn't sick? Mrs. Styles—Oh no; only one of the children!—Yonkers Statesman. Unanswered Yet "Mamma," said little Harry, peering over the boardroom with much interest. "What is it, dear?"

AIRSHIPS FOR ARMY General Wood Joins in Demand for Their Adoption. Next Congress Will Be Asked for an Appropriation of $500,000 that the Signal Office May Push Experiments. Washington—Major-General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, and Maj. George O. Squier, acting chief signal officer, are authority for the statement that efforts to obtain funds from congress at the next session, for an equipment of aeroplanes, would be doubled. This decision has just been reached, following the conclusion of the signal office that the aeroplane in its present state "is recognized by every power to be a satisfactory complement of its military and naval services." The amount wanted will be $500,000, according to Major Squier, although this estimate may be increased at conferences to be held in November between Secretary of War Dickinson and Secretary of the Navy Meyer. It is understood that President Taft will urge congress to appropriate the money in his annual message. In its future experiments the United States will be the first nation to try to combine wireless telegraphy with the aeroplane. Major Squire said this is one of the many possible uses of the aero, which, he added, is in every sense of the word an engine of offense and defense. Activity by Foreign Nations. The urgent need of the aerial equipment for the United States army is now much more apparent than ever. Major Squiler, who has just returned from Europe, where he witnessed the maneuvers of the armies and navies of several nations, found unusual activity in this new branch of the service. Germany has a special battalion: THE BOMBING OF THE BOMB. England allots its dirigibles to the navy and the aeroplanes to the army; France has a mixed system, while the United States has placed it in the care of the signal office, which is equal to a joint ownership by the army and navy. Major Squier said that the aeroplanetoday is in a comparative state of perfection, taking into consideration every difficulty it is likely to encounter. The United States, in owning a Wright biplane of a model two years old, has an engine that has since been outclassed by the improved machines used so successfully by Glenn H. Curtiss, Charles K. Hamilton and Louis Paulhan in their long-distance flights. Reports frm events of the performance "Signalignyet been an ing, so far dirigibles. could be be as it is floon. It is weight the craft's bala "Briefly, points in we shall r to do ever out and de the govern "There is no limit to the possibilities of the aeroplanes," said General Wood. "I am heartily in favor of experimenting as much as possible in this new branch of science, which has no limit, in view of the limitless field—the air—it has to itself. Need Funds for Development. "It may be one year, it may be Major-General Wood. more, but sooner or later the aeroplane will be the greatest factor of the century in the world's affairs. For these reasons I shall use my influence to the utmost to obtain funds from congress to enable the army to carry on experiments and trials. "What I have said heretofore, especially in favor of the dirigible balloon, is not to be construed as being a statement against the utility or the possibility of the aeroplane. Just at present the dirigible can carry more men and more supplies, and is, perhaps, more dependable than the flying machine. But this will not preclude my favoring the aeroplane for the army. "To do all this we must have funds, of course, and it is my hope that we shall be able to get a generous amount so that no pains need be spared in doing everything we can to bring out the salient points of the craft that promises so much." The activity of the foreign nations in aerial military preparations was worth noting," said Major Squaler. "I have witnessed many of the meets and experiments, and the success that attended them is certainly promising. "The trials in the United States, which has been the first country to recognize and bring out the possibility of long-distance aviation when the Wright brothers flew from Fort Myer to Alexandria and back for a bonus of more than $30,000, came to a standstill many months ago because of lack of funds. Instrument of Offense and Defense. "I sincerely hope that we can align ourselves with the other powers in this problem. For there is no limit to the aeroplane. As it stands today it is the recognized complement of the powers' armament. It is an instrument of offense and defense, and, disassociating it from militarism, its good qualities and services will be of untold benefit to humanity. "Just at present, while congress has designated the signal office as having authority over aeroplanes and dirigibles, we have neither the funds nor the required number of men for an organized aerial corps. "We shall again submit a request for an appropriation, and if congress considers it favorably we shall not lose much time in bringing ourselves to the front. Aeroplanes have changed in mechanism since two years ago, if not in general contour, and those of today are vastly superior to the ones of the recent past. There is less guesswork about traveling in them." Asked about the possibilities of firing or dropping projectiles from an aeroplane in flight, especially at a high altitude, Major Squier said: "Evidence so far in our possession shows that the chances are favorable to the aeroplane. Accurate Dropping Tests. "In our few experimental flights oranges and pieces of lead pipe have been thrown down. I do not yet know what marksmanship was obtained, but that hits are not difficult is known ne In War. Reports from everywhere that experiments of this sort have been made show the aeroplane in a creditable performance. "Signaling from aeroplanes has not yet been attempted, the wireless having, so far, been attached only to the dirigibles. Yet the receiving wire could be hung from the aeroplane just as it is from the basket of the balloon. It is so slight and of so little weight that it would not affect the craft's balance or direction in the air. "Briefly, there are so many good points in favor of this science that we shall never cease in our activity to do everything we can to bring it out and demonstrate its usefulness to the government and to the people in general." It is learned that Secretaries Dickinson and Meyer had reached a favorable understanding about aerosplanes, and that this was of a character that would lead the president to make special reference to the appropriation of $500,000 in his forthcoming message. SERVING OF FRUITS MELONS ARE BETTER SERVED WARM, SAY SOUTHERNERS. Recipes for Salad Dressings—Sweet Wine and a Small Amount of Fine Liqueurs Used—How to Prepare Currants. Fruits are so cheap and so good now that housekeepers should provide them in one form or another for each meal. Melons are at their best, so that it has become almost a matter of course to have them every day for one meal or another. Southerners declare that people of the north spill watermelons by too much chilling; that, like strawberries, they need the warmth of the sun in them; but the weight of opinion still seems to be on the side of the ice box. One of the most popular ways of serving watermelon is to split it in two lengths, then with a large spoon and a rotary "twist of the wrist" scoop out the luscious pink flesh in cone-shaped pieces. Arrange on a bed of green leaves or cracked ice and you will have a picture for the eye, as well as a delight to the palate. Cut in this way, which gives no waste, one good-sized melon will serve 15 or 20 persons, according to the size of the melon and the appetite of the diet. At a recent luncheon the first course was chilled melon, which had been prepared in this wise: All the center of the melon was scooped out, rejecting the seeds. This was broken with a silver fork into small pieces, then put into a freezer with the addition of half a pound of powdered sugar and the juice of a lemon. The freezer was packed in salt and ice and turned slowly for 15 minutes until a mush-like consistency was obtained. This melon frappe was served in glasses with a teaspoonful of sherry added to each glass. No summer breakfast is complete without fruit. While most people prefer it served au naturel, others with English predilections take more kindly to jam or some of the many steamed or steamed fruits. Others find a salad of fruit dressed with a few spoonfuls of sherry and sugar one of the best appetizers at the beginning of the meal, while still others, both to give up their cereals, take a combination of fruit and cereal. In serving fruits au naturel arrange them to please the eye as well as the palate. Nothing is prettier than leaves for decoration. No prettier fruit for breakfast can be found than currants, red and white on the stem. Put a border of the leaves about a pretty china or glass dish, and pile the fruit on them. Serves with powdered sugar. Oranges for breakfast are easiest served cut in halves. They are delicious made in a compote with rice. Take the pulp out as whole as possible and drop into a rich boiling pulp leaving it in just long enough to heat it through. Make a nest of rice, put the orange and pulp in it and serve with whipped cream. Fruit salads are not nearly so well known as they should be. The dressing of a fruit salad for the gourmet is usually of sweet wine, with just a suspicion of fine liqueurs, but for nary use other combinations are preferable. Sweetened whipped cream, lemon juice, fruit juice, French dressing or mayonnaise are all used with fruit. Chop fine one cupful of cooked ham and season with salt, pepper, colery seed and chopped onion. Add half a cupful of bread crumbs and mix to a smooth paste with French dressing Stuff tomato shells and serve on lettuce with mayonnaise. Watercress salad is also good to look at and "gooder" to eat. Use the tender leaves of the cress. Let them stand in cold water to make them crisp and then wipe dry. Sprinkle over them a teaspoonful of parsley and olives chopped fine. Add a few slices of sour apples and pour over it the French dressing which is made of one table spoonful of vinegar, three tablespoonful of oil, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. The two latter ingredients should be mixed in slowly. To garnish watercress a hard-boiled egg chopped fine and scattered over it is an im provement. Cocoanut Cream. Soak one-half box of gelatine in one cupful of milk until soft, then set in hot water until dissolved. Add one cupful of granulated sugar, stir until dissolved and strain. When cold and quite thick add one teaspoonful of nilla, two cupfuls of freshly grated cocoanut and one pint of cream whip ped to a solid froth. Stir and milk gently until very thick, then turn into wetted molds and set aside until thoroughly chilled and firm. The above proportions are sufficient for two good sized molds.

A man went into a studio and asked the artist if he could paint a picture of his father. "Yes," said the artist. "When can your father sit for me?" "Why, father's dead!" "Well, can't you give me a photo graph of him?" The man who wanted the picture said he had no photograph, so he described his father as well as he could to the artist. When the picture was done he came to look at it. "Yes, yes," he said, excitedly, "that's father, all right." Then he started to cry and the artist asked him what he was crying about. "Nothing," he said, between his sobs, "but father has changed so." WHO IS TO BLAME. Women as well as men are made miserable by kidney and bladder trouble.

HOTEL TOURAINE Opposite Review Building, Spokane, Wash. PHILADELPHIA WINS EASILY TRIM THE CHICAGO CUBS IN CHAMPIONSHIP. Former Won Four Games, Latter One—Coombs Winning Pitcher—Total Attendance 125,000--Total Receipts $175,000—Each Athletic Gets $2,000—Collins Leading Batter of Series. Chicago, Oct. 24.—The baseball championship of the world belongs to the Philadelphia club of the American league. They clinched the big pennant fast Sunday, seven runs to two for the Chicago Nationals, and it was a big overflow crowd that saw it. Five games have been played, and the easterners took four of them by outbattling, outfielding and outrushing the veteran Chicagoans. They got the "jump" at the start, and although Chicago punctuated their program with a defeat yesterday, it really did not change the situation a bit. The Philadelphiaians were due. They won the American league banner in 1902, but there was no world's series that year. Five years ago the New York Nationals were too strong for them. So in this year of grace it was not on the cards that they were to be denied. Big Money for Players. While the series was not the most profitable ever played, it helps to simplify the high cost of living problem confronting even such heroes as the Philadelphiaians, to say nothing of the Chicagoans, with winter coming on. The players' share of the money amounted to $79,071. Of this 60 percent, or $47,443 goes to the winners, and $31,628 to the losers. As there are 23 players on each team eligible to participate, each of the Philadelphiaians is entitled in round numbers to $2062, and each Chicagoan to $1375. The players shared in today's receipts by courtesy of the management of the two clubs, who conceded that if today's receipts should be larger than those of any previous day the smallest receipts should be credited as accruing to the fifth day, and the Sunday receipts accredited to the fourth contest, the last in which the players had a financial share. The total receipts for the series were $173,980. The two clubs get $38,753 apiece, while $17,398 goes to the national commission. The total attendance was 125,219 persons. Coombs the Hero. The performance of Combs in pitching and winning three of a five-game series is probably unique. He had but one day's rest between the second and third games and but three days intervened between the third contest and today's exhibition. He had better control today than in the previous contests and foiled the opposition batters when hits meant runs. Brown, for Chicago, pitched excellent ball, except in the locally disastrous eighth, and the holocaust of that inning was by no means entirely his fault. The day was bright and the weather of the Indian summer variety. Ground rules, as usual, were necessary. Chicago's failure in the series can be laid to one cause—the weakness of the pitchers. Facts of the Series. Games won—Philadelphia, 4; Chicago, 1. Total attendance—125,219. Total receipts—$173,980. Players' cut—Each Athletic, $2062; each Cub, $1375.

New York, Oct. 24—Andrew Carnegie leaned heavily on the arm of his secretary as he walked down the gang way of the White Star liner Baltic, Sunday, from Liverpool. He did not relinquish his hold on the supporting arm until he had entered a carriage to be driven to his Fifth avenue mausion, and in walking the length of the pier to the elevator displayed signs of fatigue. Mr. Carnegie declared, however, that he felt splendidly and had enjoyed the voyage immensely. He was relieved of the tediousness of the custom routine by leaving baggage on the pier for inspection, Mrs. Carnegie and daughter, Miss Margaret, remaining until an inspector began opening their baggage.

KIDNAPED CHILD REVEALS STORY Boy Caught in Omaha Compelled to Walk Across Several States With Captor. Dewey Victor Wellman, 11-year-old son of a widow in Seattle, Wash., who was kidnaped from his home on July 16 last, was found by the police in Omaha Saturday. The little boy was with H. Schuman, a Seattle contractor, who, the boy says, took him from his home. According to the boy's story, the pair walked all the way from Nevada to Omaha. Sometimes they were hungry, but despite the lad's pleadings, Schuman refused to take him home. Schuman was caught here when he applied to the Associated Charities for work. He confessed stealing the child. The boy himself told the story of his capture. He said he had gone for a boat ride with the man, whom he had soon on the street many times. They got in the boat and Schuman refused to return. With tears streaming down his face, the little fellow told how he had tramped over miles and miles of dusty roads. They would stop at a farmhouse and Schuman would work a while and then move on, he said. Finally they came to Omaha. The pair will be taken to Seattle at uce and the child restored to his mother. KING APPLE'S GREAT POWER Railroad Will Send Apple Show to Chicago in Record King Apple's dominion is fully established when he can upset railroad schedules and order record runs over transcontinental lines to suit his imperial convenience. That is what the northwestern potentate has accomplished with regard to the transportation facilities placed at his disposal by the Hill lines, over which the prize winning displays from the third National Apple show in Spokane, the week of November 14, will be moved to Chicago for exhibition in the First Regiment armory, November 28 to December 4. A special train, loaded with the northwest's choiceest offerings of the king of fruit, will be started on passenger train time 48 hours after the Spokane show closes, the night of November 19 for a run of 2,000 miles. The train will carry the winner of the $1,000 championship sweepstake on carload contests and many other premium takers, also displays from 35 commercial orchard districts in Washington, Oregon, Idaho Montana and British Columbia. NAME POSTAL BANK TOWNS. Anaconda, Coeur d'Alene City, Olympia Chosen for First Trial. The 48 cities in which the first trial is to be made of the new postal savings bank have been announced by Postmaster General Hitchcock on behalf of the board of trustees. On account of the limited appropriation, second class postoffices were selected in the western cities, as follows: Globe, Ari; Oroville, Cal; Leadville, Colo; Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Anaconda, Mont; Nebraska City, Neb; Carson City, Nev; Raton, N. M.; Klamath Falls, Ore; Deadwood, S. D.; Provo, Utah; Olympia, Wash., and Laramie, Wyo. While the actual date for the opening of the postal banks at these cities has not been definitely fixed it is practically certain that it will be the first of the year. If the selection of Olympia is a criterion city to try out the new postal savings bank system, what a great boost it will get. QUARREL OVER COAL PROPERTY Squabble Between Dunsmuir and Mackenzie in British Columbia. Victoria, B.

Claims to Have 3,500 Men Over the United States to Act As Scouts—Army Has Been Instructed to Cooperate With Air-going Men in Organization of Aeronautical Corps. America's air army is ready for business. John Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, founder and commodore of the United States aeronautical reserve, in a signed statement says: "We have 3,500 men, situated in every state in the Union, enlisted in the aeronautical reserve to act as scouts in time of battle. Officers of the army and navy have been assigned to cooperate with him in the organization of an aeronautical reserve corps. "The acroplane will eventually make war so full of horrors, by its inevitably increasing power to destroy fortifications, as it will as ships and towns, that it will be one of the greatest means of bringing about peace among nations. It is still true at the present day, however, that a nation to preserve peace must be prepared for war. The country commanding the strongest army and the strongest navy will be feared most. Begun a Month Ago. "It was due to a full realization of these facts that I become interested in the organization of the United States aequatronical reserve. Only a month has passed since the first actual recruiting work began at the Harvard-Boston aviation meet. War Department Recognition "General Robert Shaw Oliver, acting secretary of war, in behalf of that department of federal service, has assigned Brigadier General ames Allen, chief signal officer of the army, to consult and correspond with the United States aeronautical reserve in regard to its relations with the war department. The reserve intends to put its services and resources at the disposal of the government in times of war. "Up to date very little has been done in this country toward testing the value of the aeroplane in naval warfare. Perhaps this has been delayed somewhat on account of the strenuous efforts that are being made to produce more efficient vehicles. Nevertheless the navy department has displayed deep interest in the aeronautical reserve movement and will give it its cooperation." NATION'S TAXES CALLS FOR SWEEPING PROBE Scandal Expected to Follow Announce ment of Corporation Revenues— Aggregate Too Small. A nation-wide scandal may result from the manner in which the corporation tax law has worked out. With the official announcement by the treasury department at Washington that the total paid in as the result of the tax is only a trifle more than $27,000,000 Wall street financiers are convinced that an extremely clever job in hiding profits has been carried on by somebody. This federal tax is 1 per cent of the net yearly income of a corporation tax from all sources over and above $5,000-exclusive of all amounts received by it as dividends on the stock of other corporations subject to the tax. - Two Biggest Payments. The two biggest concerns in the country, the Standard Oil company and the United States Steel corporation, have paid into the government more than $2,000,000, or about one-thirteenth of the entire tax. This, the financiers say, is preposterous, inasmuch as many of the big companies have admitted a total earning of 7 per cent or better on their capitalization in their reports to their stockholders. The prediction made in financial circles is that as the result of the apparent evasion of the tax law, the law will be strengthened by congress in the near future so that the treasury department may readily detect those who fail to meet the requirements. Policeman Fleming Arrested. Oakland, Cal., Oct. 24—Daniel B. Fleming, a state railroad policeman, was arrested here by Town Marshal Seng of Redding on a warrant charging him with the murder of George Vallier, the 19-year-old Taacoma boy who, with a companion, was found beaten and unconscious on the roof of a car of an overland train at Redding, August 25, and who died of his injuries a day later. Fleming protested his innocence of the crime. He was taken to Redding where he will face trial. Fleming was arrested at the instance of the mother of Vallier.

The black man has rights and privileges in Mexico that the world must respect, and I will not wash my hands by accepting a membership into that association which seeks to enslave my fellowman. "I trust the American Negro will not weaken, but will fight for his rights until the judgment day when we shall meet Him face to face."
