SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER" ANNUM l ALLEN’S ATTEMPTED “SENSATION.” In another column the Pioneer reproduces in full the dirty attack on the part of “Old Allen” in his Sentinel, together with an expla- nation of our own which entirely refutes the implied charges made by our venomous old friend. The present management of the Pioneer has conducted its business affairs on business principles, and has not used every kind of lying, “knocking” statement to secure printing, as has Allen, who slyly asserts that the Sentinel has a larger circulation than the Pioneer; that he does better work; does it cheaper; has better workmen, etc., etc. Just as soon as the public examiner’s report isin such shape that it can be given to the public, the Pioneer will print the report IN FULL; and right here we want to say to Brother Allen that there will be some mighty interesting reading in the report, concerning the Sentinel. In this report, the examiner takes occasion to tell Allen that he is over- charging tor work, which the Pioneer will print in full when we give the report. Perhaps County Attorney Funkley will be instructed to prosecute Allen; and if he should a great howl would g0 up from the “Gowler.” This one instance is probably about the only job the “Growler” has done for the county, but it is a mighty good 1llustration of what he would do, if he had a chance at the taxpayers’ money. As to the Sentinel having more subscribers than the Pioneer, any time the “Colonel” wants to bet a few dollars on the respective circu- lation of the two papers he can do so by calling us up over the tele- phone. . The Pioneer hasa much larger circulation than the Sentinel, a fact which every advertiser in this part of the state knows and appreciates. We charge for our advertising, and we helieve that our patrons get liberal returns therefrom. We are not giving away our wares, as we consider them worth something. The fact that Allen charges less for his work is not to be wondered at. The worth of the Sentivel as an advertising medium is a doubtful Pproposition, and it is no wonder that the old man inserts ads in his paper for little or nothing; the returns are exceedingly small, and represented chiefly;by a 0.

The voters have a right to take Into consideratiom all of Bryan's past and especially his: attl- tude on ‘questions of natlonal impor- tance when he asks their support for the greatest office in the world—that of president of the United States. If Bryan shrinks from the inquiry, as he appears to be doing, he confesses in effect that he knows his past Is against him, and he presents in this as in every other respect a marked contrast to Willlam H. Taft, who Is willing to be judged by what he has done as well as by what he promises to do and whose election to the pres!- dency will be final, conclusive and de- clsive rejection by the American peo- ple of Bryanism, its vagaries and its menace to the national credit, pros- perity and progress.

IS CHARGED WITH WIFE DESERTION: Major Tucker, U. S. A, Placed Under Arrest, Decatur, IIl, Oct. 1i.—Major Will- fam F. Tucker of the United States army was arrested here on a Wabash train charged with deserting his wife, a daughter of the late General John A. Logan. The arrest was made by Ser- geant Walter O'Brien of the Chicago police department. Major Tucker, who was ill and could not be taken off the train, agreed to return without requisition papers. He went on to St. Louis to be taken back to Chicago later. The police had been watching Tucker for several weeks at a health resort in Michigan. They were anx- fous to find him in Illinois. When he left Detroit the Chicago police were notified to arrest him at Decatur. The arrest was accomplished so quietly i BRYAN'S RED HERRING. In the states where Bryan expects to get his electoral votes when a poor, hunted negro was escaping from slay- ery and the hounds were close on his trall a friend of the fugitive would sometimes draw a red herring across the path and mislead the hounds by a false scent. Bryan’s red herring is the publicity Bf campaign contributions. Public opinion is hot on the trail of Bryan’s record of free sllver, confiscation of bank deposits, government ownership of raflways, involving national bank- ruptey; the 50 per cent business lim- itatlon scheme, the free trade revision of tariff scheme and other hobbies and theories on which Bryan has been making presidential campaigns for twelve years or so. Bryan, having made a vain effort to brazen out the public amazement and disgust aroused| by the exhibition of the contents of the Pandora’s box he wants to let loose on the American people, is now trying to dlvert public attention to the wholly academic topic of publicity of campaign contributions. He hopes evidently that if he makes enough noise on this subject the people will stop thinking about his free trade, free sllver, railway ownership, bank depos- it confiscation programme and may possibly be hypnotized into going to the polls and voting without regard to the real Issues of the election. It may be noted that in discussing campaign contributions he shrewdly avolds mention of the campaign contribution of $15,000 sent to Nebraska to help Bryan into the United States senate by Ryan of New York, the leading figure of the New York street railway trust, which not long after the contri- bution was made went into the hands of recelvers and is a total wreck. Bryan’s red herring is of no use. The public will not be turned aside from the hot trail of Bryan's past record and Bryan’s present platform. Mr. Taft very properly keeps them at the front with his western audiences, and other Republican speakers follow the example of the Republican candidate. Mr. Taft stands upon the record he has made, and there is no satisfactory reason why Bryan should not face a A that few passengers on the train learned that anything had happened. Tucker declared he was too ill to leave the train, but gave his word he ‘would return to Chicago with the offi- cers later. Sergeant O’Brien and his assistants bought tickets and accom- panied Tucker’s party to St. Louis. St. Louis, Oct. 1.—Major William F. Tucker was found at the Southern hotel here, but he refused to be inter- viewed and his attendants allowed no visitors to see him. “I am here with my sister and my valet,” was the only word which the officer would send down In response to messages asking for a statement regarding his alleged arrest at Decatur, Ill. It was stated that Major Tucker is too ill to leave his bed and doubt is expressed that he would be able to make a return trip to Chicago at this time. WIFE’S BEQUEST TO HUSBAND Is Willed §1 Payable in Monthly In. stallments of 26 Cents. Chicago, Oct. 1 .—One dollar pay- able in monthly installments_of 25 cents is the peculiar bequest given Andrew Heckler by his late wife, Cath- erine B. Heckler of Portland, Ore., whose will was filed in the probate court here. The will was filed by At- torney B. S. Pague of Portland, who is bequeathed a cut glass water bowl. Mrs. Isabella Vance, a friend, is given the balance of the estate. In the will Heckler is referred to as “the individual who married me in 1905 in San Diego, Cal, and who got from me thousands of dollars and when he could get no more deserted me.” The estate consisted mainly of personal property. BOTH WILL WED AGAIN. Strange Matrimonial Mixture Follows Goodwin-Elliott Divorce. Reno, Nev., Oct. 1.—One of the most extraordinary romances that ever ; cropped up outside of the pages of the most improbable novels has developed in the matrimonial conditions of Nat Goodwin and his former wife, Maxine Elliott. 1t is alleged on good authority by Dersons close to the leading actors in the affair that, while Goodwin is about to marry his former leading woman, Edna Goodrich, Goodwin’s former lead- ing woman and wife, Maxine Elliott, is to wed Harry MacMillan, who is Bdva Qoodrich’s former sweetheart. Not at All Scared by Hol: | land’s Ultimatum. DEMANDS AN APOLOGY Venezuelan President Believes The Netherlands Should Give Reparation for Insulting Letter of Its Expelled Minister Before Making Threats, Coast Defense Guns Being Made Ready to Resist Invasion. Caracas, Oct. 1.—"“The revocation fof the decree of May 14 is demanded iin the most energetic manner—the government of Venezuela must from |this moment without delay fulfill the \protocol of 1894 and not prolong the jintolerable state of affairs which it has created by the decree of May 14.” | These are the words of the minister for foreign affairs of The Netherlands iy bis note in which he answers Ven- ezuela’s communication telling of the sumimary dismissal of Minister de [Rels from Caracas. M. Van Swinderen, the foreign min- Ister of Holland, began his reply to President Castro by acknowledging ‘the gravily of the offense committed by M. de Reus and saying that The Netlierlands government would imme- diately have recalled him of its own injtiative if it had seen the offensive publication, but that President Castro had taken justice into his own hands by violating imternational custom by summarily expelling the minister with- out asking for his recall, President Castro was away at Valen- cfa when this note was presented by Baron von Seckendorf, the German minister, and he . told Dr. Paul, his foreign minister, to acknowledge re- ceipt and to await the second note from Holland, which it was known was soon o arrive. This second note has arrived, but because of General Castro’s illness it has not as yet been answered, although it is generally un- derstood here that Venezuela will not glve in to any of Holland’s demands. Holland Must Apologize. Venezuela will take the stand that, until a satisfactory apology and in- demnization is forthcoming from The Netherlands government for the in- sulting letter of the late Minister de Reus and for the stoning of the Ven- ezuelan consul by the Curacao mob, Holland has no right ‘at all to make any demands of this country, espe- cially in the nature of those made in the Dutch note, which interfere with the right enjoyed by free nations to | make their own commercial laws. It Is very generally admitted in Caracas that if the Venezuelan government wishes to have the transhipment of merchandise for Maracaibo done in Vénezuelan ports that it has a per- fect right to do so, although Curacac may be a sufferer thereby. Although The Netherlands note asks for the “immediate revocation” of the transhipment decree it has been re- ported that the second note fixes the date of Nov. 1 as the time when this must be done, thus giving the note the nature of an ultimatum. Nobody who knows General Castro believes that this demand will have any other effect than still further to incense Venezu- ela’s executive against Curacao and nobody would be at all surprised if his answer was more vigorous and de- termined than The Netherlands gov- ernment expects or will like. That Venezuela is being prepared to resist invasion and that the many big coast defense guns have been made ready for an emergency is common knowl- edge down here, ) WRITES TO PRESIDENT. Haskell Adds Another Chapter to Oil . Land Controversy. ' Kansas City, Oct. 1.—Governor Charles N. Haskell of Oklahoma, who has arrived here from Guthrie, gave to the Associated Press a signed statement addressed to President Roesevelt, contributing another chap- ter In the controversy arising over the leasing of 680,000 acres of Osage In- dian oil lands. “I-shall.” savs the governor in the L " bt hid staterient, “nsist upon the caliceilition ot this lease In the Interest of these citizens of our state, or that congress take action to de- clgre this improvident and unjust lease vold and secure for the Osage nation the just and reasonable com- peusation that other owners are re- ceiving.” ) CANADIAN TOWN BURNS. Fire at Stettler, Alberta, Causes Loss of $250,000. . ‘Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 1.—A large section of the town of Stettler, Al berta, was wiped out by fire, including the large Grand Union hotel, twenty stores, four other hatels, the Mer- chants’ bank and the postoffice. Les- e Miller of Riggs & Whyle's store, where he was sleeping, lost his life. The 1loss is $250,000, Rain of Ashes Falling. Basse Terre, Guadeloupe, Oct. 1 .— A rain of ashes from volcanoes on Martinique or St. Vincent islands is falling over Guadeloupe. Mount Nou- friere, the largest volcano. on St. Vin- cent, is calm and the ashes must coms from some other crater. R NEW SECOND ASSISTANT & POSTMASTER GENERAL i H +H+++++++++-I—I--l-++—l—l-++++++: JOSEPH STEWART. JUDGE TAFT'S GAR DERAILED IN YARDS Train: Moving. Slowly at Time of Accident. Sterling, O., Oct. 1 .—The first cas- ualty to the Taft special in all its travels occurred as the train pulled onto a siding at this place. The front truck of Judge Taft’s car and the rear truck of a Pullman just ahead of it left the track, The train was coming to a stop and the car of the candidate did not move a length after the acci- dent. One of the journals of the truck was cracked, but was pronounced to be safe. The delay on account of the derailment was just thirty minutes, but this, added to the time which had been previously lost, put the special }}I hour behind in leaving Sterling. 'he cayse of the accident was ascribed to the spreading rails of the siding on which the special was moving in its transfer from the Erie to.the Balti- more and Ohio road. Mr. Taft made his speech to the people of Sterling while the railroad men were putting | his car on the track. How’s This?

Detroit, Mich,, Oct. 1t—Several girls were slightly. injured and 100 more had a narrow escape from death when the ferry steamer Ariel, running, between Walkerville, Ont., and De- troit, collided in-a fog with the small freighter Energy. There were about one hundred girl employes of local factories aboard the ferry and pande- monium reigned among them for a few minutes. The crew succeeded in quiet- ing them, however, before the panic had any serious resuits. It was found that several of them were slightly cut by glass from the ferry’s -broken win- GAUSES DEBILITY Here Are Facts Backed Up By a Strong Guarantee.
