HALLEY'S COMET AFTER SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS RUSHES EARTHWARD AGAIN Prof. Barnard of the Yerkes Observatory Tells Why the Camera Will "Pick Up" the Celestial Tramp Before It Can Be Seen With the Telescope. VOL. 24. NO. 37 After an absence of seventy-five years Halley's comet (so named after the astronomer who determined its orbit is on a return trip). The magnified eyes provided by scientists in the giant lenses of the telescopes at the Lick and Lerke's observatories will be enabled to get a glimpse of the returning wanderer from space in the fall of the present year. As the comet approaches nearer and nearer to our planet the smaller telescopes will have their chance. The surprising fact, however, is noted by Prof. E. E. Barnard of the Yerkes observatory that the comet will be found by the camera before it picked up by the greatest telescopes. In reply to questions regarding the expected return of Halley's comet I have received the following interesting reply from Prof. Barnard: "I think you can say with absolute certainty" says Prof. Barnard, "that Halley's comet will be visible in the forty-sixth telescope in the winter of 1909. It ought to be a bright object then in a good telescope, ahd should [Picture of a woman with a high hairstyle and a long dress]. MISS MARY PROCTOR. be visible in any telescope of five or six inches aperture, because, according to Holechetk (Astr. Nach, for 1986, June 13), it will on会会 2, 1909, be of the fourteenth magnitude. It will, of course, get brighter after that date. "On Oct. 2, 1908, it will be unusually bright because its computed magnitude be 18.2m. According to Dr. Holechetk the brightness of the comet at its best will be 3.7m. This would make it very different from the brightness of Dane's comet of that year. But you must eat in mind that a comet is an unearnest quantity, so far as a prediction of its brightness is concerned, and it may come upon some of its glory of the Middle Ages, though this is not probable, for the comet at each return must lose a great deal of its tail-producing material, and hence a each successive return it must present a less brilliant aspect. Briefly, the position of Halley's comet at the return is not yet known with any decided accuracy. Cowell and Cromelin (Monthly Notice, Royal Astronomical society, Vol. 68) give the perihelion passage April 3, 1910. They are doubtless nearer it than others, but there is an uncertainty of perhaps several weeks. The largest field of view of the forty-inch telescope is less than six minutes of arc. This will be covered many times by the little finger nail held at arm's length. The astronomer, therefore, can see but a small speck of space. If the position of an object be closely known, it can be readily picked up if bright enough to be seen in the forty-inch. But if the place is uncertain by some degree it would be a great loss of time to hunt for it with the forty-inch. "At the same time the photographic plate is far more sensitive than the naked eye to the light of a comet. The field of view of a photographic telescope is far greater than that of the visual telescope so that it can readily take in, in one picture, all the region of the sky that is visible. There are much greater chances of the comets being picked up with some of the reflecting telescopes, or with some of the portrait lenses, by aid of the photographic plate. Though the comet will be very faint the coming fall and winter, I have no doubt that it will be found photographically." The comet is now out between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. It will be within the distance of Jupiter's orbit after March 1, 1909. It is possible that some one with the aid of a great telescope or photographic camera may Which Breed?

We may begin to search for it as early as September, 1908, provided good ephemerides are at hand. Almost certainly it may be found by September or October. It will then be only a round nebula, whatever tail it has being almost directly behind it as seen from the earth. The date of its nearest approach to the sun, according to H. C. Wilson, should be March 10, 1910. After October, 1909, the comet will probably be visible to the unaided eye. Even now it is nearer to us than Saturn and is rushing forward at the rate of 520 miles a minute. After it passes Jupiter, we next planet on its way, the speed will increase to 783 miles a minute. After it passes Jupiter, the next planet on its way, the speed will increase to 783 miles a minute. It will then plunge through the zone of asteroids, or tiny planets which wander between Jupiter and Mars. We go to any small asteroid it may encounter on the way, but worse still for the comet should it crash head on in its mad career into the giant planet Jupiter, the great disturber of comets. It is a well known fact that the giant planet has a way of annexing comets and even tiny asteroids which may happen to drift his way in a most unprincipled fashion. Suspicion have been aroused concerning two new moons acquired of late years which doubtless were once members of the asteroid family. Jupiter has been gravely accused by some learned astronomers of exerting his mighty influence on the helpless worlddicts and adding them to his own family circle. Not only that, but he has reached out for passing comets and captured no less than thirty, which are now recognized and spoken of as Jupiter's "family" of comets. In 1835 Halle's comet made a fairly near approach to Jupiter, which caused the comet to hasten its return somewhat. However, on its present journey no unnecessary alarm need be felt regarding a possible encounter with the celestial robber, Jupiter, as the comet will not approach that planet within several million miles. On June 12, 1910, the comet will pass within five to ten million miles of the earth's orbit and then gradually recede into space, after making its obesience to its mighty ruler, the sun. YERKES' TELESCOPE. As another seventy-five-year cycle must pass away before the comet will again come within our ken, it behoves us to follow the example of the astronomers and be on the lookout for the arrival of our celestial guest. The advance guard to welcome it on its return will be stationed at the Lick THE YERKES OBSERVATORY A Elastic Size. "What kind of a figure is Mrs. Dressy?"

A prize has been offered by the Flint Astronomical society of 1,000 marks for the most exact calculation, and when it is made we shall know exactly where to look for the comet.

Hopkins in 1907 made a profit of $19.00 off sixteen acres of winter Nelis pears—$1,187.50 an acre, says the Technical World. In the same valley G. H. Hover bought ten acres of pear orchard at $560 an acre. Fifteen months later the crop brought him $9,600. Eight years ago J. L. Dumass set out fifty acres of apples near Dayton in the Walla Walla district of southeastern Washington. In the summer of 1907 he bought fifty acres of apple orchard adjoining the property at an investment of $18,000. The apples he picked from these fifty acres that season sold for $16,000 and the total crop from the hundred acres realized $32,000—a return to the owner of $40,000. A climate and soil that are capable of rearing such monsters as the redwood trees and the sequoias, which render measurements of vegetable growth in other regions of this country piny and scant, account in part for these bewildering figures. ORBIT OF HALLEY'S COMET. But these are obscure valleys, narrow and diminutive, mere pockets, between huge mountains, where in the past no plant worthy of cultivation has found so much as a foothold. And it is in many just such spots as these that the returns are the highest. Irrigation, in such cases, is the remaining factor that explains the mystery. The same magazine tells a remarkable story of the success of two women who tried farming in England. They began with five acres in Berkshire, but found they had too much land, so they cut down their holdings to less than that amount. The teachers of the women were a French gardener and his family, who with an acre of land in France, sold $2,500 worth of produce in a year. "In a bare plowed field stands a square palisade of zinc plates inclosing about three-quarters of an acre," writes a visitor to the farm. "The ground is all covered with inverted bell glasses of the kind known in Europe as clochers. Under each bell there are five lettuce farms were five lettuces. Lettuces were growing around the bells and other vegetables sown broadcast were coming up everywhere. Every inch of the soil bears at least three crops a year, each of them anticipating the season and therefore producing fancy prices." Hats Off. Please.

I hear somebody saying, "You can't depend on_what that man Beckwitt writes, for I've had a fly bite me, and I've got him and looked at his bill—as sharp as a mosquito it was." There is a gray fly, smaller a trifle than the house fly, that bites cattle and horses, and often, when rain threatens, takes refuge under nearby shelter. Thus files enter houses. This "stable fly" bites you. At night you see these and other species of flies resting on birds posing downward. The greater number on the walls will be the common house fly that invariably rests with head upward. Just take a look to night. Get the two kinds alongside and compare their mouths. Now, will you believe what I am telling you? I would like to write a pleasant fly story, but the essential facts about the insects are unpleasant. Study the photograph of a fly.

Can a fly thus clothed keep clean? Whatever he steps on sticks. And he steps by preference only on things that are moist or sticky. Odorous substances are most attractive to him. Food and filth are impartially sought. Can any one who has eyes doubt this fact? Every fly you catch on fly paper or poison is one less to breed in your vicinity. But the cleanest house is not a window so long as a flying watch to come in. The best screening is only a partial protection. The only cheerful thing about flies is that there is no use in having them at all. Some towns are no longer screened. They have adequate sewerage disposal. They take care of all garbage. No stable refuse is allowed to pile up. It is spread on the land, where it is valuable. Remove their breeding places and flies disappear. The war of extermination is easy and practicable. It requires a little conscientious work and intelligent co-operation. Many Lemons Handed Her. The "lemon bath" is, it so appears, the newest summer craze, says the New York Times.

"It is a popular mistake nowadays to suppose that those old wood burners were slow," said an old railroad man in a reminiscent mood. "The roadbeds of that time were so uncertain that high speeds were not generally the rule, but 45 miles an hour was not considered by any means unusual, and I have known times when this was exceeded, as this incident will show. "I had passed through the various grades of promotion until I was in charge of a division on a western railroad. The settlements were few and far between and my division was a long one even for those days. It covered some 180 miles and ended in Detroit. My headquarters were at the other end of the line. One night I had gone to bed and was sleeping peacefully when I was awakened by a tapping at my window. I kept a long bamboo pole beside the house, so that the night watchman at the station could call me in case I was needed without disturbing the other members of my family. "When I went to the window I found Casey, the watchman—all our employees were Irishmen in those days—standing by a man in a long linen duster who was jumping up and down in his excitement. "Are you in charge here? he asked as soon as my head appeared. "Yes, I replied. "Then in heaven's name get me aboard the express, he cried. "He got off the train for a stroll, an' she pulled out widout him, Casey explained. "Don't stand there like a fool, the other train and my daughter's on that train and she has heart disease. I have all the money and the tickets. If she wakes up and finds me gone the shock may kill her. I don't care what it costs, but I must catch that train. "If I had been a little older, prudence would have made me firm against the man's entreaties, but I was young and adventurous, and the father's distress blinded me to the risks of the undertaking. Perhaps the fact that my own little girl was safely aleep with her mother in another room had something to do with it, but in any case I ordered Casey to have an engine brought from the roundhouse, hastily scrambled into some room, and his companion rowed to the yards. "The Detroit express changed engines at this point, and the boiler was still hot on the locomotive that had brought it to my division. We hunted up an engineer, and with an extra fireman started after the limited, which had a lead of 40 minutes. "We dashed through the darkness with the engineer hanging half out of the cab on one side and me half out on the other to watch the track ahead for a train. As a greater precaution we put the extra fireman out on the pilot. The passenger at first bothered us with questions, until the engineer quelched him. Then he subsided on the floor out of the way of the fireman and the engineer nails as an outlet for his feelings. "Through hamlets we sped, the whistle of the locomotive screeching like a soul in torment to warn any freights that might be on the siding to wait there. Our speed was tremendous, for the engineer, like most of his kind, was at heart a dare-devil, and the spirit of the chase had got into his blood. I don't believe any man on the engine would have minded what came of it, so great was the excitement of that wild dash through the darkness, except possibly the man on the pilot, and he had time to reflect. "At one siding we literally grazed the end of the last car of a freight that was hanging a little too far out on the switch. "In this way we plunged on through the track, we headlight picking up the track for about forty feet. Finally, when our speed had reached a point where, as you boys would say, we were 'only touching the high spots', I saw the engineer take on his watch. He glimpsed at it by the light of the little lamp over the steam gauge, and at the next mile post I took my time. "At last, after an hour and a quarter of this running, the engineer and I picked up two red lights dancing along in front of us and we both cheered. He slowed down speed, and the rest of our run was easy. We had only to trail those tall lights of the express into Detroit, taking care not to run up too close on them. "As the express pulled into Detroit station we came in after her, and a more surprised lot of railroad men I never saw than the members of the express crew when they heard what we had done. The engineer and the two filmmakers and installed on follower cars father into the car, and we see the end of the chase, and we see as pleased as he was when he parted the curtains of his daughter's berth and disclosed her lying there sound aseep. My satisfaction even recompeted me to a message I received from the general manager of the road next day which read something like this: "It has come to my attention that you last night sent a locomotive into the Detroit express. Our expenses are quite heavy enough without incurring damages for wrecks. You will please not do such a thing again." HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL?

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12. 1908. WHAT IS HE TO DO? Among the mutterings of the Springfield mobocrats, was the complaint that the Afro-Americans were holding jobs which white men ought to have and the result was that many Afro-Americans were, in consequence thrown opt of their jobs. A like condition prevails in the South and during the last few weeks, many of the race have been chased away from lumber camps and other places of employment. In some cases these laborers have been dynamited; in others fired upon by concealed enemies. Now THE APPEAL wishes to call the attention of the friends of the race who are always exhorting the Afro-American to be industrious and to labor with his hands, to what happens when he, in good faith, takes their advice. To do so he exposes himself to bullets and dynamite. He cannot defend himself, and the civil authorities will not defend him, so what is he to do? The fact has been overlooked to some extent, that the more the Afro-American becomes able to compete with his brother in the shop or other M. H. "Every good citizen in the country must deplore the fendish work of the disgraceful mob that has brought the city of Springfield to sorrow. Such an outbreak of lawlessness and bitter race prejudice makes the lover of his country sad."—William H. Taft. PETER W. H. "As a Nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the Afro-American be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of ourdiversity and their prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be our misfortune. "The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encouragement to the thrift, industry and intelligence that will better their prospect of higher attainment."-James S. Sherman place of employment, the more intense the prelude he excites. If he is industrious and accumulates property, that fact also excites the hostility of the poor white man. A correspondent in one newspaper of a large city, notices the fact that the Afro-American had invaded certain "swell" neighborhoods and was buying property in the midst of white people and he predicted that such action would eventually result in riotings to which the Springfield horror would be a mere bagatelle. So what is the poor black man to do? If he is lazy and vicious, all join hands in denouncing him, but, unless he commits some terrible crime, he is comparatively immune. But if he holds a job which some white man thinks he ought to have the Afro-American is in danger of being riddled with bullets, or blown up with dynamite. SOME SOUTHERN HUMBUGS A high school teacher who found the pupils coming to her from the lower grades woefully deficient in the elementary branches, took occasion to visit the schools from which they came, with a view to ascertaining how they were trained in those schools. She thus relates her discoveries. "They have been making doll's furniture and school gardens, and manual training school pies, and models and locomotives and Paris gowns. If I seem narrow-minded in preferring a knowledge of percentage and the parts of speech, let me remind you that the much commiserated factory child also has learned to work with his hands—and skillfully." It is with no intent to decry man ual training that THE APPEAL calls attention to he fact that the recent trend in that direction has opened up a vast field for the operation of the most arrant humbuggery. The South is dotted, in many places with so-called manual training schools which are atrocious humbugs. In many cases these institutions are conducted by frauds who are alike ignorant of literature and mechanics and their so-called manual training is a transparent fraud. We once visited one of the institutions which had a most sonorous name and which pretended to teach trades all the way along with electrical engineering at the apex. We found a ramshackle three-roomed house in an advanced stage of dilapidation. In one room there were a few benches, and an old remnant of a printing press. In another there was a variegated assortment of old harness and dilapidated farm utensils, while the third was crammed with cotton-seed. The faculty consisted of an itinerant preacher and his wife; the latter also conducting the boarding department. Such things are common in the South.

Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Who Will Lead the Republican Party to Victory in November. M. HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN. Illinois' Fearless Executive Who Put Down the Springfield Riot. While there are, undoubtedly, well-attested instances of outrages upon white women upon the part of black ruffians, amidst an immense number of others of dubious character, yet it is an undoubted fact that more infamous outrages are perpetrated upon the white woman by men of her own' race than ever were charged to the account of the Afro-American. In proof of this assertion, we need to call attention to the facts as to "white slavery" in Chicago. Those facts show that men and women of some note in the community were engaged in this nefarious business and guilty of the most atrocious wickedness. Yet we have never heard of their being in any danger of lynch-law or any other form of moblaw. Some of the guilty parties were Jews, but no one proposed to wreak vengeance upon the whole Jewish race. His Honor, the Mayor of the Democratic city, New Orleans, where Afro-American children receive no public instruction above the fifth grade, has shown an admirable sense of duty by refusing to allow the Afro-American citizens of that city to pull off that abominable and incendiary HON. FRANK Chairman of the Republican National publican Party to V HON. CHARLES Illinois' Fearless Executive Who proceeding—a spelling bee. His Honor is firmly resolved that while he holds the reins of government, no such a debauchery shall be tolerated and no such blot shall disfigure the escutcheon of the "Crescent City." The notices of the spelling-bee failed to state that the jim-crow principle would be strictly carried out by restricting the contest to Afro-American children, and his honor did not fall to notice the circumstance. That one act enrolls the name of his honor whatever it is, among the great men of the nation; and it is a fortunate circumstance for him, for we have never heard of anything else he ever did, even in the way of making himself ridiculous, of sufficient importance to deserve a paragraph. LYNCHING POST CARDS BARRED. The Post Office Department has just issued an order barring from the mails representations of the Southern Democratic white domination idea. The Postmaster General is, of course, a Republican. The particular card which brought about this ruling had on it the picture of the five Afro-Americans hanging on a tree lynched last July in Sabine county during the race disturbances there. The most objectionable part of the card was the verse which accompa- led the pictures, which read as follows: An emblem of white supremacy. A lesson taught in the white man's school That this is land of the white man's rule. EQUAL RIGHTS PLANK. "The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the Afro-American, and gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Afro-American, and we condemn all devices have for their real aim his disfellowship for reasons of color discrimination as unfair to american and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." —Republican Platform, 1098 H. HITCHCOCK. Committee, Who Will Lead the Re-ictory in November. S. DENEEN. Put Down the Springfield Riot. RIGHTS OF AFRO-AMERICANS. "The republican platform refers to these amendments to the Constitution that were passed by the republican party for the protection of the Afro-American. The Afro-American, in the forty years since he was freed from slavery, has made remarkable progress. He is becoming a more and more valuable member of the communities in which he lives. The education of the. Afro-American is being expanded and improved in every way. The best men of both races, at the north as well as at the south, ought to rejoice to see growing up among the southern people an influential element disposed to encourage the Afro-American in his hard struggle for industrial independence and assured political status. The Afro-American platform adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and just as explicitly declares for the enforcement, and without reservation, in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform, and believe that equal justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play.-Hon. Wm. H. Taft's letter accepting Republican nomination for Presidency. --- KILA HON. JOSEPH G. CANNON Speaker of the House of Representatives, Who Will Stump the Country for Taft. J. Popular Illinois Congressman, Who Has Endeared Hingits to the Afro-American of Country By His Stand For the Supremacy of the Law. Twenty thousand people assembled at Freeport, Illinois, on the exact spot on which the famous Lincoln-Douglas Freeport debate took place fifty years ago, at exactly the same time, and in almost the same manner, the semi-centennial was observed. So engrossed was the audience in the old issues that it was a bold speaker who had the temerity to introduce topics of the day into the addresses delivered before it. This feat was accomplished successfully, however, by Congressman Frank O. Lowden, who praised Gov. Deneen's use of the "iron hand" in quelling the race riots in Springfield. The mention of Gov. Deneen's name in this connection was sufficient to call forth such enthusiastic aspause as to leave no doubt as to the attitude of those who heard the remarks. "In every government there must be something which is absolutely suspense" said Mr. Lowden. "In a despotism it is the will of the monarch. In a republic it is and must be law and law alone. It is the worst form of treason in a republic to offer the highest violence the supremacy of the law. Whenever any set of persons put themselves above the law, of whatever class, whether rich or poor, they are in open rebellion against the only earthly master we may know, the sovereign law which we have crowned supreme. "I realize that the race problem is a grave one. I appreciate the fact that primitive passions when once aroused make us forget the nineteen centuries of Christian civilization of which we are heirs. I don't know what this problem will be. But I do know that if we are to remain a republic we must have a history of our country teaches us aught, its lesson is that only by obedience to law, by confessing its absolute supremacy, can any wrong be met. HON. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. Among the abuses which our southern brethren need to repress is the cotton trust, or gambling in cotton through the so-called exchanges. These exchanges are simply and solely gangs of gamblers whose stock in trade is the cotton crop, but who do not own a single pound of cotton. A Georgia man says: "The United States government will be asked to prevent the trading in futures through the mails, the telegraphs, the telephones, and all public transportation companies. This would destroy the present gambling in futures, just as it destroyed the lotteries in New Orleans. Then the real supply of cotton would regulate the price of the commodity at all seasons of the year. Radical measures should and will be adopted before many years. We hope to have the death knell of the exchanges sounded before the close of the next session of Congress." AND THE APPEAL devoutly hopes that his anticipations will be more than realized.

NICHOLAS POTTGIESER. Candidate for Republican Nomination for County Commissioner. Mr. Pottigier has served two years on the county board and was defended for nomination two years ago by only 38 votes in a field of twenty-nine candidates. His defeat was attributed largely to antagonisms in the county board, close scrutiny of claims against the county presented to the board. Mr. Pottigier having made a record for hewing close to the line where the interests of the taxpayers were concerned, he was a member of the board when the reform in road expenditures was inaugurated, and while he did not share the views of some who wished large initial appropriations for road work, he was one of the strong advocates of a policy which would return to the taxpayers dollar for the expenses of their money expended by the board. He devoted practically his entire time to the duties of his office, and was "on the job" day in and day out. The county tax budget for 1999 aggregates $603,200, and it will be well worth the effort of the board who will make it their business to see that the money is wisely expended. He will be voted for throughout the city. Everybody vote for him. R. B. Beard, W. M. Collins, J. A. White. TICKETS WILL E. MATHEIS. Candidate for Republican Nomination for County Commissioner. CHAS.

The young ladies of the company are mostly of the tail, willowy variety, the kind that will set off costly gowns to telling advantage and off-court skill in the court. Next to the girls the comedians must be mentioned, and a company that has Charles H. Mackle, Harry L. Cooper, Jack Guert, Al. Gruet and Johnny Dove for fun makers could even make a common place show interesting. The first skit is a twentieth centuryized affair, called "The Imperials" animated by Karen F. Alcorn and furious variety, with plenty of opportunity to display the gowns worn by the stately beauties. In the olo will be seen Charles H. Mark Company in a new jazz track skiff, call it *Jazz Track*; it will be Ida Walling, the statuesque bursier; Gruet and Gruet, musical artists; Johnny Dove and Mimle Lee, in a bright singing and dancing number, "The Burglar"; Sisters in a pretty, charming pretty, pretty, shapely young girls, in a series of beautiful and artistic living pictures.

As so much has been said about an alleged agreement having been made between the Elks' committee and the Hotel and Restaurant Association and as many of the leaders of the TIE SPEAL who did not see the denial published by Exalted Ruler T.

Aug 31st, the article is reproduced: To the Editor of the Dispatch:— I regret very much that it has become necessary for me, as exalted ruler of Gopher Lodge No. 105, I B. P. E. O.

"The Wizard of Oz," that extremely clever musical extravaganza, with its unique characters, beautiful scenic effects, charming chorus girls and delightful musical numbers, will be at the Grand next week commencing Sunday matinee, Sept. 13th. Few musical shows have enjoyed the popularity. The Wizard has during the past six seasons, and it must be said that it is merry stage entertainment deserves its phenomenal success. There are many novel and musical pieces in "The Wizard of Oz" among which might be mentioned the wonderfully picturequeous field with its transformation from summer to winter. This is one of the most gorgeous ever attempted in a stage production. The cyclone, showing a Kansas farm in transit through the clouds from the Western state to the land of Oz is another novel and a thrillingly realistic scene and should not be missed. George Stone still plays the Scarecrow and Wm. Baker is the Tin Man. Dahmy Beatrice Tornier makes a charming Dorothy; Gertrude the Wizard, with Millard, a dashing Prince and Zoa Mathews, a clever Lady Funaria. to further extend the gossip of the past few days, to the effect that for a "pally hundred dollars," the rights of Afro-Americans of this city have been violated, "jugged." I wish to deny all of said statements and brand them as being absolutely false and without foundation. I further wish to state that no member of Gopher lodge, nor of the burglar, has signed or entered into my self or any member of the ways and means committee, nor of any other committee, with anybody, company or association, depriving any one, be visibly, delegate or citizen, of their right to representation or documentation of any nature whatsoever. As to the contract for the use of the Auditorium on the evening of the 23th inst. I wish to say, that that committee has been read to that committee and can be seen and read by any individual or individuals desiring to read it. As to the conditions of that contract, I wish to say, that the Commercial club of this city gave the half of two hundred and twenty-five ($225) dollars of the cost of the hotel, and custom of the Hotel association of this city to aid in the care of conventions holding their sessions in this city, they gave the other half, and took the initiative in protecting their business. I have not seen, neither have covered with any member of the Hotel. I regret very much that the Rev. W. D. Carters name has been brought into this gossip, for I assure every one that he is in no way responsible, nor connected with the transaction of the ways and means committees in their solicitation of money to care for the grand lodge. I further wish to thank the newspapers of this city, the mayor, police commissioners, and assist in making the meeting of the Elks and visitors a success. T. H. LYVES, E. R. St. Paul, Aug. 31. G. I.

Anderson, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for County Commissioner, has been a resident of St. Louis and has always been a true Republican and faithful worker of his party. He cast his first ballot in the fall of 1874, and since that time never failed to cast his ballot and vote at every election. He was a worker in the party ranks, and in the old time when we had the delegate and convention system and voted on naturalization papers, he was always one of those who assisted in preparation for the party ticket. He has never held public office, although he ran for the nomination for County Commissioner six years ago in a field of twenty-three candidates, and was defeated by only one candidate, the ticket. He also made a run two years ago among twenty-seven candidates and made a very creditable run, being close up to the ones that won, for which he thanks his support and made a few efforts in the past to nominate him. Trusting that the citizens and voters will at this time make a decided and vigorous renewal of their loyalty in his behalf, he assures you one and all that he will be ever grateful and none shall be sorry that you have assented to his request. You will remember him as the man that kept a cigar stand in the court house during Wright's. Doran and Kiefer's administration. He was crippled some twenty-five years ago by rheumatism, and is unable to perform any hard manual labor. He is a lawyer, and his office he is seeking, as he has made county and city government a study for a good many years, and believes in economy of expenditure of the public's money and a dollar's worth of rebuilding. He believes in good and permanent roads whenever decided to be built, and to be let to the lowest responsible bidder, and no patch work to be done, unless necessary, such as washouts, or by the elements on the weather, which requires immediate attention, and should he be one of the four nominated and elected, he assures the citizens and taxpayers that he will always be a true and faithful servant of the county and taxpayers of Ramssey County.
