A wholesome lesson in good morals is what should be taught a goodly number of our people in this community, and just why some of them can defy all moral laws and be respected and hold positions of honor in racial organizations we cannot see. There is something rotten in Denmark. The Hon. William Lindsay has been installed in the United States marshal's office and the machinery of that office is going on as before. We believe that Marshal Lindsay will make the same success in that position as he has made good as one of Montana's foremost and aggressive citizens. We believe that the complaint of the police that the criminal element is noo leniently dealt with in some respects to be a just one, as on every train just now it seems the seum and scrapings of other towns are damped right here in Helena, and they come because they say the law is easy. There are at the present time more secretaries, prostitutes, fiends, thieves and all-round bad men in this city than we have ever known since we have resided here and there should be a vigorous house cleaning crusade begun. We learn that our old time friend, way back in Kansas, J. H. B. Taylor, all-round hustler and good fellow, has at last been rewarded at the political pie-counter and is holding a lucrative position in the capitol building at Topeka. He is in every way deserving. He has helped to make many of the big guns there and we are glad to note that he has been taken care of. We hope that the reports that the eloquent Kansan, Prof. W. T. Vermons, will be selected for the Haytien minister are true, as we know him to be a natural diplomat, and that he is in every way fitted for this position and highly deserving of anything in the gift of the administration. Western University at Quindaro will hold their commencement exercises the coming week, and reports from there indicate that the school has had the most prosperous year in its history, and the administration of Prof. H. T. Realing, assisted by the matchless W. W. Fisher and the capable faculty, has been one of the best that the school has ever enjoyed. By Booker T. Washington. First of a Series of Articles, Based on Observations Abroad, Comparing the Living Condition of the European Peasant, Woman Worker and Miner with Those of the American Negro. (From Outlook) On my previous visit to England I had been struck by what seemed to me the cold and formal character of the English newspapers. It seemed to me that they were wholly lacking in human interest. Upon my last visit my opinion in regard to the London newspaper, was considerably altered. A careful study of the daily newspapers, I found, will repay anyone who wants to get an insight into actual conditions in England: STARVING FAMILY Telling of a terrible case of starvation in Stoke Newington Coroner's Court, Dr. Wynn Westcott, the coroner, asked the press to bring a deserving case before the notice of the charitable public. He said that he had an inquest upon a three-weeks-old baby which had died of starvation. Its father had had no regular work for three years, and only a little casual work in that time. There was so little money that the mother, Mrs. Attewell, of White Hart street, Stoke Newington, was half starved too. She had only had a crust of bread to sustain her on the day her child died, although she had done nine and a half hours' washing to assist the home. ture. It was a most deserving case. After reading this item I began studying the papers more closely, and I was surprised at the frequency with which items of this kind occurred. I learned that the local Government Board, which is represented in the English Cabinet by Mr. John Burns, has issued since 1871 an annual report, or return, as it is called, of the cases in which, upon formal investigation by a coroner's jury, it appears that the persons came to their death in London as a result of starvation. I obtained a copy of the return for 1908, in which are included the statistics on starvation, not merely for London but for the rest of England and Wales. The forms issued to coroners were explicit. They provided that the return should include only cases in which the jury find that death is brought about by starvation or privation due to destination. Cases in which death was caused by cold, starvation, exposure, etc., unconnected with destitution, are not entered in this return. Of the 125 cases of starvation reported, 52 occurred in London. In 11 cases death was described as due to starvation in conjunction with some other cause; that is to say, disease, drink, exposure, or self neglect. In 80 of the 125 cases no application was made for poor relief, or application was made only when the deceased had been in a dying condition. Not frequently, when in my public speeches I have made some reference to the condition of the Negro in the South, certain members of my own race in the North have objected because, they said I did not paint conditions in the South black enough During my stay in England I had the unusual experience of being criticized in the London newspapers for the same reason, this time by an American white man. At the very moment that this man attacked me because in my public interviews I emphasized the opportunities rather than the wrongs of the Negro in the South, I had in my possession the document to which I have referred, which gives the official history of fifty-two persons, one for every week in the year, who had I have never denied thta the Negroes in the South frequently meet with wrong and injustice; but he does not starve. I do not think a single case was ever heard of in the South, where a Negro died from want of food. In fact, unless because of sickness or some other reason he has been unable to work it is comparatively rare to find a Negro in an almshouse. It has not been my purpose in any thing I have written to pass judgment upon the people or the conditions that I have found in the countries which I have visited. Criticism is an ungrateful task at best, and one for which Iuff mfwf mfwO mf wadod rthth rm not well fitted. Neither shall I attempt to offer any suggestions as to how conditions may be improved; in fact, I am convinced from what I learned that the people on the ground understand conditions much better than I possibly could, and in a later article I hope to tell something of the great work that has been done in England and elsewhere to raise the level of life and comfort among the people who are at the bottom in the countries where I visited. What I am anxious to do here is to emphasize some of the advantages which it seems the members of my own race, and particularly those living in the Southern states, have at the present time. It is not difficult to discover the disadvantages under which the Negroes in the South labor. Every traveler who passes through the South sees the conditions existing, and frequently returns to write books about them. There is danger, however, that the opportunities to which I have referred will be overlooked or not fully appreciated by the members of my race until it is too late. One direction in which the Negro in the South has an advantage is in the matter of labor. One of the most pitiful things I saw in London, Liverpool, and other English cities were the groups of idle men standing about on the street corners, especially around the bar-rooms, because they were not able to get work. TO THE MEMORY OF MISS TERESEA YORK All things, however pleasant, are destined to have a close; our childhood joys are shortened and brought to an end all too soon. Our days though sunny they may be, are doomed to have a night. So day by day, as time ointinues, the Harvester the busy Reaper, gathers garlands of flowers and sheaves of golden grain Death recognizes no difference. He calls one and all. His visits are certain and he makes them everywhere and in his endless circuit gathers rich and poor, great and small, to his already overflowing garner, and for reasons of his own he has taken Teresea, beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Miles York, of this city. She was aged 18 years and 14 days. Noble and self-sacrificing, on Saturday morning, May 27, at 2 o'clock, her spirit wended its way to those shores of eternal bliss, where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. So young, so good and nobla, she will receive her reward at the throne of that true and loving God that said. "For my elects' sake shall the days of men be shortened." Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. B. R. Guy, Sunday, May 28, at 2:30 p. m. The body was laid to rest in Forestvale cemetery. There is a vacant chair The work being done by the South for Negro schools is indicated in the fact that of $1,000,000,000 spent upon common schools in the 16 former slave States and the District of Columbia since 1871 at least $185,000,000 have been spent upon common schools for Negroes. In that territory the common school enrollment increased from 2,013,684 white and 685,942 Negroes in 1870-71 to 4,692,927 whites and 1,655,781 Negroes in 1907-08. In 1860 there were in the public schools of the South 781, 199 pupils out of a total of 4, 955,894 in the United States, and the income of these public schools in the South was $4,474, 370 out of a total of $22,548,519 in the United States. The popularity of the academy and other private schools at that time in the South was one of the influences against the spread of common school idea there in that period. FIVE NEW RIGHTS WHITE AND BLACK Prof. W. E. B. DuBois, the Race's Highest Educated Citizen, Defines the Five New Rights Which All Men, White and Black, Should EnjoyCommented on By Robert Hunter in the Printer and Decorator Magazine. Some time ago Professor W. E. B. Dubois, of Atlanta University, spoke in New York. He spoke of the five rights which all men, white or black, should enjoy. The first was, he said, "The right to individuality, and I mean by this, the right to his own color, and his own way of thinking, and to his own prejudices, so far as these things do not interfere with other people's rights to the same thing. "Second—The right to public courtesy. This world, from now on, is going to be a world of contact of races. It is going to be utterly impossible to separate and isolate men. In the past, contact meant war, caste and slavery, but today it must not and cannot mean these, for these will cost too much to be indulged in. If, then, this to be a world of contact, each being in it has the right of public courtesy; to visit public places without insul and to travel in public conveyance unmolested and to be entertained in public hostelries. "Third—A citizen of the world should have the right of opportunity. We used to say the right of education, but this demand should be broadened to the right of opportunity; the right to be educated in his childhood and then to have the doors of economic and political development thrown open to him, according to his ability. Herein lies the answer of that great search for ability which human culture must make. Hitherto, we have said, not that we must have men of ability, but that we must be English, or that they must belong to the first families. Now the Lord, in his great wisdom, did not confine the ability to acquire wisdom to any one class of people, but distributed it to men of many races and all degrees of color, and this ability must be found and honored and put in command, regardless of prejudice. "Fourth—The citizen of the city New World must have the right th The New York Special Bargains In Our Linen And Domestic Department. 15c Zephyr Ginghams, yd.....10c 15c Daisy Cloth, yd.....10c 30c 27-inch Natural Colored Linen, per yard .....20c 12 1-2c Union Huck Towels each .....8 1-3c 20c Fancy Corded Madras for shirt waists, yard.....15c 15c 36-inch very finest Silko- line, per yard .....10c $2.50 20-inch pure Linen Dam- ask Napkin, doz.....$1.75 20c 27-inch very fine and sheer Dimity, in stripes and checks per yard .....12 1-2c 25c white Shrunk Cotton for dresses, per yard .....15c 65c 45-inch Persian Lawns, per yard .....50c of peace.

Diaz and Vice Corral Will Resign—Summary of Agreement Is Given Below Juarez, Mexico, May 21—Officially designated representatives of the Mexican government and the revolutionists at 10 o'clock tonight signed a peace agreement at the customs house here intended to end the hostilities which have been waged in Mexico for the last six months. Though covering only the principal points which have been negotiated thus far it practically records the concession by the government of those demands which initiated on November 20 last armed revolution in Mexico. The actual signing of the agreement took place under most extraordinary circumstances tonight on the steps of the custom house. When the peace commissioners arrived they found the door of the custom house locked and no one there to let them in. Accordingly they grouped on the steps of the building, and while newspaper men held matches, fountain pens were produced and the document signed. Four automobiles turned their searchlights on the scene, and when the signatures were affixed the commissioners of both sides embraced joyfully, while a small crowd that had collected shouted "Viva la Pa!" Telegrams announcing the signing of the agreement were dispatched throughout Mexico to revolutionary and federal leaders alike. Constitutional restrictions prevented the inclusion in the peace agreement of the fact that the rebels will be permitted to suggest to various state legislatures the names of provisional governors, and likewise the fact that six of the eight members of the new cabinet have been chosen by the revolutionists, but the agreement records that President Diaz and Vice President Corrall will resign and that the government is to concernte its attention on desired reforms. --- In Histroic Room In the same room where President Taft and President Diaz met in international handshaking two years ago peace was formally declared. Judge Carabajal represented the federal government, and Dr. Vasquez Gomez, Francisco Madero Sr. and Senor Pino Suarez acted for the revolutionists. The agreement follows: The Agreement. "In the city of Juarez, on the 21st day of May, 1911, at the customs house, Senor Don Francisco S. Carabajal, representing the government of General Porfrio Diaz; Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, Don Francisco Madero and Don Jose Maria Pino Saurez, as the representatives of the revolutionary forces, having gathered to treat about the method of effecting a cessation of histilies in the entire national territory, and considering: First, That Senor General Porfrio Dias has manifested his resolution of resigning the presidence of the republic before the end of this month, and Second, That bona fide news is at hand Senor Ramon Corral will resigns the vice presidency of the republic within the same period, and "Third, That by the administration of law Senor Francisco Leon de la Barra, at present minister of foreign relations of the government of Senor General Diaz, will assume for the interim power of the executive of the nation and will call the general elections according to the terms of the constitution, and "Fourth, That the new government will study the conditions of public opinion in the actuality to satisfy these conditions with the provisions of the constitution, and will come to an agreement conducive to indemnifying the losses directly caused by the revolution; therefore, the two parties represented in this conference, in view of the previous considerations, have agreed to the following: Hostilities To Cease. "From today on, hostilities that have existed in the entire national territory of the republic shall cease between the forces of the government and those of the revolution, these forces to be dismissed in proportion as in each state the necessary steps are taken to reestablish and guarantee transquility and public order. "Transitory provision: "Transitory provision. "As soon as possible the reconstruction or repair of telegraph and railway lines hitherto interrupted shall be begun. "Agreed and signed in duplicate by SENOR DON F. S. CARABAJAL. DON FRANCISCO VASQUEZ GOMEZ. DON FRANCISCO MADERO. DON JOSE MARIE PINO SUAREZ." Madero Is Won Over The agreement was signed after three days of indecision, Francisco L. Madero Jr., leader of the revolution, expressing the view that peace could be declared only by Senor de la Barra became provisional president and the new cabinet was installed.

Mexico City.—Official reports reaching here tell of a massacre of 206 Chinese at Torreon following the rebel occupation last week. The details of the three days' battle and sacking of Torreon are replete with incidents of cruelty that show clearly that the rebel leaders did not hold their men in check or control, or else deliberately turned them loose to pray upon a conquered and defenseless people. Official advices do not give the number of dead, but taking the 206 Chinese as a basis it is certain that the number is large. The last day of the battle was May 15. On that date General Leroy retired with his federal forces and the rebels entered the city. Citizens found themselves utterly unable to control the mob, and the reports indicate that scores of innocent residents were victims. Always antagonistic to the yellow race, the rebels and mobs engaged in a race riot. A great part of the business of Torreon is conducted by Chinese, some of whom are wealthy, and, according to reports, the riots shot down or stabbed them without mercy. That the Chinese charge d'affaires will be able to secure indemnity for many of the victims is doubtful, for it is a fact that since Sir Chentung Liang Cheng visited this country, five years ago, and advised his countrymen to become Mexican citizens, almost all have taken out naturalization papers. LAURIER'S LONDON SPEECH Tells Them of Pleasant Relations With N. S. B. Loves England More. London.—The dinner of the Pilgrims society in honor of the colonial premiers was historic because of the unexpected and noteworthy plain speaking by Sir Wilfred Laurier, the premier of Canada. Sir Wilfred, addressing an audience composed of many of the great men of England, handled the annexation question without gloves. He began by expressing amazement that during his three days' stay in England he had heard so many people of standing voicing doubts concerning the designs of the United States regarding Canada. He scoffed at the idea of annexation being seriously considered on either side of the border. He expressed in warm terms his admiration for President Taft, but said that much as he loved the American people, he loved Great Britain better. Great Britain. Canada, in sharing the continent with the United States, he said, had a double interest in the treaty of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain, and exclaimed dramatically: "I thank God that the relations between the two peoples never were so good as they are today." HAY'S METHODS ECONOMIC State Board of Control Is Enabled to Return Fat Sum to General Fund. By the use of business methods advocated by Governor Hay during the last two years the state board of control has managed to return to the general fund $214,745.50 out of the money appropriated by the 1909 legislature to maintain the institutions under the charge of the board. The biggest sum was turned back by the state penitentiary at Walla Walla, which failed to use $143,059 out of the $678,980 appropriated. The eastern Washington hospital for the insane turned back $10,895; the school for the feeble-minded $32,367, and the other institutions the remainder. BUTTE'S MAYOR IS MAN OF HIS WORD Socialist Mayor Lewis J. Duncan of Butte has suspended Chief of Detectives Edward Morrissey, Captain James Larkin, Detective J. P. Murphy and Officer James Rowe for having permitted the saloons to operate last election day and with having permitted gambling to continue. The suspension is in line with Mr. Duncan's announced determination to clean out the Butte police force in an effort to reform Butte. Mayor Duncan announces that all saloons permitting women to frequent wine rooms will have their licenses revoked and he made good his threat by immediately revoking the licenses of two.

Claims They Are in Restraint of Trade in This Country—Attorney General Wickersham Has Been Gathering Evidence for More Than a Year—Claims Consumer Ought to Buy Anywhere. In the first federal anti-trust proceedings brought under the Sherman law as interpreted in the Standard Oil decision the department of justice filed in the United States court in New York recently a suit against constituent organizations of what is popularly known as the "lumber trust," alleging the existence of a widespread conspiracy "unreasonably" to restrain the lumber trade in this country. Ten trade organizations and more than 150 individuals are named as defendants. It alleges violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and seeks a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from continuing the conspiracy charges. First of a Series. It is said the suit may be the first of a series planned by Attorney General Wickersham, looking to the breaking up of alleged agreements between the retailers of commodities to maintain high prices to force all ultimate consumers to buy from retailers and to blacklist wholesalers who sell to others than members of the retail organizations. The elaborate system of blacklisting attributed to the alleged lumber conspirators, copies of circulars sent out by the organization, classifying consumers as "proper" and "improper," extracts from reports threatening "short shrift" to dealers daring to violate the rules of the organization and branding such officers as "poachers," "scalpers," "mavericks" and "illegitimates" are fully set forth in the government's petition. Against Retailers. It is alleged that not only private consumers have been blacklisted, but that many great industrial concerns have been put under the ban by the lumber dealers. The government bill, aggregating 20,000 words, is replete with sensational allegations and interesting exhibits. The suit is directed specifically against retail organizations in the eastern states, but the trial will embrace methods adopted by retailers and wholesalers throughout the United States. Although the lawyers in charge of the case believe the Standard Oil decision involving "reasonable" or "unreasonable" restraint will not affect the lumber cases, as it is represented to be one of simple conspiracy, nevertheless, the accusatory parts of the bill conform to that decision and charge "undue" and "unreasonable" restraint of the lumber trade. Lesser stress is laid on the alleged conspiracy between the defendants themselves. In general, the case is regarded as Attorney General Wickersham's long-planned test suit to have the courts determine how far combinations of retailers may go to prevent the ultimate consumer from dealing directly with the wholesaler or producer. Hampering the Consumer. The government takes the position that any agreements or acts which prevent a consumer from buying where he chooses or to his best advantage are in "unreasonable" restraint of trade and violate the Sherman law. No attack on the middleman, as such, is intended, the department of justice holding that there is legitimate opportunity for him. It is known that while the department has been making a nation-wide investigation, its agents have reported that the case is nearly paralleled in the marketing of many other commodities. If the government's contitions are sustained there is promise of a sweeping attack upon some alleged conspiracies. Attorney General Wickersham personally directed the gathering of the evidence which has occupied more than a year. To London Horse Show. Six United States cavalry officers will take part in the London horse show beginning June 12. The officers are Major Fred S. Folls, Captain Guy V. Henry and George Vidmer and Lieutenants Adna R. Chaffee Jr., Alden M. Graham and Gordon Johnston. With them they took a dozen horses which they have been training for the show at Fort Myer. Internal Revenue Receipts For April. Washington.—April's internal revenue receipts comprised nearly half the government's total income from all sources, aggregating $22,000,000. This fiscal year $246,000,000 has been collected. Receipts from taxes on tobacco show gains of $8,000,000, spirits $8,000,000, and beer $2,000,00. In April, nearly $500,000 was paid in corporation taxes. Noted Astronomer Dies. Mrs. Willamina Patton Fleming, one of the foremost astronomers of the world, and curator of astronomical records in Harvard university, died Sunday. STORM DARKNESS AIDS CONVICTS Six Escape From Illinois Penitentiary Saturday Afternoon. Six convicts, under sentence from one to 20 years, escaped from the guard at the state prison at Joliet, Ill., in the darkness caused by a sudden storm Saturday. Running from the ranks of fellow prisoners while the storm was at its height, and blinding sheets of water fell, they climbed an eight-foot board fence surrounding the enclosure and disappeared in the railroad yards to the south. Four of the convicts were recaptured two hours later, hiding in the woods. During the afternoon 240 men were at work in the prison quarry a block from the prison. The storm came up about 4 o'clock suddenly, and with unusual severity. The lines were formed for the march to the prison yard, but before the men could start it became as dark as night. No count was made of the prisoners until the storm had ceased and the men assembled in the yard ready to return to the quarry. Then the count showed six missing. SPORTING NOTES. Frank S. Elliott, vice president of the Philadelphia National baseball club, died recently. The opening of the Canadian racing season at Toronto Saturday was signaled with a program of seven races.

ASTORIAGENTENNIAL GREAT CELEBRATION WILL BE HELD AUGUST 9 TO SEPT- EMBER 9 THIS YEAR. One Hundred Years Ago John Jacob Astor Sailed the Columbia River 10 Miles and Established City of Astoria —Grand Entertainment Provided for Visitors at the Pageant. (By John Day.) Astoria, Ore.—An even hundred years ago, April 12, 1811, the good ship Tonquin, owned by John Jaceb Astor, sailed into the mouth of the Columbia river, rode over the bar and anchored 10 miles up the river in a cove opposite what has now become Astoria. The Tonquin brought the first white man to the great Oregon country, which at that time embraced all the land from which the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho have since been carved. It is in celebration of this settlement that the Astoria Centennial was projected. The pageant will be opened with simple ceremonies on August 9. The public opening will be the following day and the Centennial will continue for 30 days, or until September 9. The legislature of the state of Oregon appropriated $50,000 toward the expense of the Centennial. Clatsop county made a special tax levy which brought $25,000 additional funds to the committee; Col. John Jacob Astor of New York city donated $10,000 to the cause and the business men of Astoria contributed $50,000. Additional subscriptions from the transportation companies and Portland business men have brought the available sinews of war up to $150,000. Tourists from all parts of the United States will be able to travel to the Astoria Centenary at reduced railroad rates and stop at all the principal places of interest en route. This centennial celebration is the only official exposition on the Pacific Coast this year, and offers the following attractions: Pacific Coast Motor Speed Boat regatta with $12,000 in cash prizes, lasting one week, September 4 to September 8, inclusive. At this regatta the free-for-all championship will be decided and $5000 is the prize money for this one event alone. Practically every Coast city will enter a boat and craft will be entered from Peoria, Ill., and several boats are expected from the Atlantic seaboard. The displacement boat championship will also be decided at this regatta, as will supremacy in fishing craft classes, sail-rigged hulls, sculling contests, tub races, canoe races between various Indian tribes of the northwest and such features as are usual at west ```markdown ``` ERN regatta tournaments. The management of the regatta is in charge of the Astoria Motor Boat club, affiliated with the Pacific Coast International Motor Boat association, the officers of which will direct the contests. Glenn Curtiss will have an aeroplane and an hydro-aeroplane exhibition lasting four days of the third week of the celebration. Mr. Curtiss is under contract to fly over land, seas and rivers, starting from the surface of the Columbia river, running at a speed of at least 35 miles an hour down to the mouth of the Columbia river, rising from the water without mechanical aid, circle over the beach to the Gearhart hotel and return to the starting point, flying in the air overland. From the opening of the centennial to the close, there will be two fleets of battleships in the harbor, one detailed by the United States government and one from the pick of the British squadron. In addition the South American Republics and China and Japan have promised to detail battleships to the scene of the centennial and participate in land and marine pageants. General Finzer, head of the Oregon National guard, has decided upon Astoria for the scene of the annual summer encampment of the Oregon national guard during the continuance of the Astoria Centennial. Necessary arrangements are now being made by General Einzer and his staff to work out the details of the encampment and the United States War Department has ordered the artillerymen and the artillerymen of the militia to report to the forts adjacent to Astoria for annual target practice during the centennial. Officers from the national guard of the various states will be invited to participate in the evolutions and observe the work of the combined national guard and the United States regulars who will be assigned to Astoria for war practice. Gearhart beach, the scene of the big coast automobile race meets annually, will be the mecca for the motor car speed experts during the celebration. The beach is wide and miles in length, so that all the races will be straightaway events, allowing the best possible time. Washed by the ocean tides until the sand is packed as hard as stone, this beach offers ideal advantages for motor car speed contests, and arrangements have been perfected for a carnival of speed merchants which will include all the top-notchers in the profession. This meet will be in charge of the automobile clubs of Portland and the north west and will be officially sanctioned. The Oregon Development league has selected Astoria as the meeting place for the annual convention of the 118 cities holding membership in the league. C. C. Chapman, manager of the promotion bureau of the Portland Commercial club, is secretary of the Oregon Development league, and he has already perfected the program for the convention which will decide upon the policy to be followed in the development of Oregon for the next year to come. "Early Days of Astoria, or the Destruction of the Tonquin" is the title of a pyrotechnic display which will be offered as a night feature of entertainment during the centennial. This peasant will have a ballet of 200 foreign vaudeville artists and numerous special features to complete a two-hour entertainment. This entertainment will be built upon the water, and is to be one of the big features of the centennial. It is the first time that any big fireworks spectacle has ever been attempted upon the water, but the development of the fireworks business is such now that success is assured. Eight different conventions will be in session during the centennial celebration, including the school teachers' state institute, to which national educators have been invited for a week. The teachers will have a school exhibit and discuss educational matters of today and a century ago. It is a big feature, and numerous social features are planned for the entertainment of the teachers who will attend the convention. As it is an official state affair all the teachers of this state will be compelled to attend unless prevented by sickness, so that it is bound to be a representative meeting of educators. Special allegorical floats are being constructed for a series of land parades, which will be different in character each week. These floats will be fully as magnificent as those used at the annual Rose Festival at Portland, and the school children will be drilled to participate in the exercises by the order of the board of education. Specially interesting will be the opportunity for visitors to witness the fishing for salmon at Astoria. There are more than 3000 salmon fishing craft at Astoria, and the salmon fishing season will be opened until August 25, allowing the visitors to see how the mighty salmon is caught and canned. These monsters weigh as much as 70 pounds and average about 20 pounds each. Salmon which weigh 40 pounds are numerous and it is an excellent opportunity to see how millions are made out of the salmon catch every year. mon catch every year. The governors of the various states will be invited, and a number have already accepted invitations to be present on special days set apart for the respective states. With their military staff they will be royally entertained and add greatly to the social life at the ceremonial celebration. tennial celebration. Altogether, the Astoria centennial is to be a fitting climax to 100 years of prosperity which have come from the founding of this city by the sea by the trading party sent out from New York by John Jacob Astor.

Physician Said Appendicitis Gall Stones Expelled by the Great Kidney Preparation I thought I would do you a favor and let you know what Swamp-Root has done so far for me. About one year ago I was taken sick with a terrible pain in my right side. My family physician pronounced it appendicitis. About two weeks ago I received your Almanae and read in it about weak kidneys, and my back hurting me so much. I thought I would try your Swamp-Root and to my great astonishment, after using one bottle, I expelled three gall stones, which weighed 135 grains—just think of it. My kidneys are not well yet, and so I have concluded to continue with Swamp-Root. Mr. Schwake, the druggist, thought that it never was appendicitis and that the doctor had made a mistake. It was no doubt, gall stones that caused the trouble, or they would not have come away so soon after commencing with Swamp-Root. I shall always praise Dr. Kilmar's Swamp-Root to all those who suffer from kidney, liver and bladder troubles and am very thankful that I ever discovered such a worthy remedy. I feel confident that it will cure me entirely of all kidney and liver trouble. Personally appeared before me this 31st day of August, 1909. Mrs. Mary J.

AVIATION ACCIDENT MONOPLANE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL NEAR PARIS AND SPECTATOR KILLED. Cabinet Members Were Witnessing Feat When the Minister of War Was Killed and Prime Minister Injured By Aviator—Machine Wrecked—200,000 Persons Present At Catastrophe. Paris, May 22.—France paid a terrible toll Sunday for her magnificent endeavor to attain supremacy of the air, when a monoplane, the driver of which had lost control, plunged into a group of cabinet members who had gathered to witness the start of the race from Paris to Madrid, killing the minister of war and injuring the prime minister, his son and a well-known sportsman. The dead—Henri Maurice Berteaux, minister of war. The injured—Antoine Emmanuel Ernest Monis, prime minister and minister of the interior; Antoine Monis, son of the premier; Henri Deutsche La Mourthe, aged patron of aeronautics, automobiling and other sports. Many others of not had narrow escaes. Crowd of 200,000 Looks On The accident occurred on the aviation field of Issy les Moulineaux, where 200,000 persons had gathered to see the start of the race. M. Train was piloting the monoplane. With him in the car was M. Bounier, a passenger. Neither was injured, though the machines was wrecked. Horribly Mangles Berteaux. Minister of War Berteaux was horribly mangled. The swiftly revolving propeller cut of his left arm, which was found 10 feet from the spot where he was struck, the back of his head was crushed in his throat gashed, and the whole of his left side lacerated. Premier Monis was buried beneath the wreckage of the monophane. He was taken out as quickly as possible and examined by surgeons, who found he had sustained compound fractures of two bones in the right leg; that his nose was broken, his face badly contused, and that there were bruises on the brast and abdomen. M. Deutsche La Mourte and M. Monis were not seriously hurt. Among those who had narrow escapes from injury was M. Lepine, prefects of police. Paid Penalty of Privilege. Premier Mois and Minister Bertaux and party arrive at the aviation field about 6 o'clock in the morning, shortly after Roland Garros, M. Beaumont and M. Gilbert had started in the race. The line of spectators bordering the flying field was being held rigid by soldiers, who, however, permitted the ministerial party and about 50 other persons of distinction to walk across the field to where they could get a better view down the course and see the airmen as they rose from the starting point. While the great assemblage cheered madly, the ministers saw Pierre Vedrine, who had been picked by many as the probably winner of the race, mount easily from the ground and head down the aerodrome, only suddenly to capsize and fall, but emerge unhurt from the wreckage of his machine.

Miss Teresea York, aged 18 years 14 days, departed this life at the residence of her parents on North Idaho street at 2 a. m. last Saturday after an illness of more than three months. She was a very bright girl whom, had she lived, with her ambition, would surely have made a mark in life, but an all-wise providence ruled otherwise, and it was with great fortitude that she bore her illness. She was of a sweet, amiable disposition, liked by all. We knew her and that she aspired to the higher things in life. Her funeral was conducted from St. James' A. M. E. church last Sunday and the edifice was crowded with those who turned out to pay their tribute of respect. The Plaindealer extends to the bereaved family heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of sorrow. REASONS WHY— Some one who is so fond of another man's wife is so lonesome.
