SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —ere JACOBSON’S PROMISE. “At present I have only one promise to make—that if T am elected, all interests and all people will have the square deal to which they are entitled. I do not want to press down on business interests, or tear up business structures. I do not want to encourage the feeling between city and country, which ought hever to exist in this state. The country and the city need each other, and the man who is not big enough to recognize the rights of both is not big enough to have a place on the party ticket.”—]J. F. Jacobson. THE FOOL AND HIS GUN. The movement for a sane Fourth ought to be supplemented by one for a sane shooting season. Four hunters in Michigan were shot a day or two ago by companion hunters who mistook them for deer. When the turns “are all in from Wisconsin, Michigan and the Adiron- dacks the casualty list probably will be like that of a small army after a pitched battle. Seasoned woodsmen never shoot anybody; it is the novice. who has not passed the buck fever stage of sportsmanship who regularly bags his human game. He does not understand the first principle of sport, which is caution. At every movement in the underbrush and at everything which shows the color of a deer’s coat he bangs away. The inexperienced gunner needs preliminary training. He ought to serve his apprenticeship without a gun. Whep he, masters woodcraft he should be given hls rifle and not before. There are men who never can learn anything from experience, or who wont learn if given the chance. They are the fools of the woods, and the law should see toit that such feols and their guns are soon parted. EXAMINED AS ~WITNESSES Writish Cabinet Members in the Police Court. London, Oct. 2,.—The suffragettes Bucceeded in bringing two members of the British cabinet, David Lloyd- George, chancellor of the exchequer, and Herbert Gladstone, secretary of state for home affairs, as witnesses to the Bow street police court. The occa- slon was the hearing of the cases ngainst Mrs. and Miss Pankhurst and Mrs. Drummond, who were tried for inciting to disorder when they ap- pealed early in the month to the pub- He to help them ‘“rush” the house of commons, and seventeen other wo- men who were arrested Oct. 13 charged with disorderly conduct. A large crowd, including many suf- fragettes, had gathered. Miss Pank- hurst examined the two cabinet mem- bers. The purport of her questions, many of which were disallowed by the judge, was to show that if the government gave women “their rights” the disorders would come to an end. NOT IN MORSE POOLS. Attorney Denies Story Concerning Treasurer_Sheldon. New York, Oct. 2 .—Before the trial of Charles W. Morse and Alfred H. Curtis, on charges of violation of the national banking laws and conspiracy in their conduct of the National Bank of North America, was resumed Unit- ed States District Attorney Stimson denied the published assertion that George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the national Republican committee, had been a member of one of the Morse pools in American Ice stock. “His name has never appeared in connection with this case in any way,” sald Mr. Stimson. “So far as T know he never was connected with any ice peol or with Morse.” The first witness examined was John P. Fensler, an accountant and examiner of the federal department of justice, who testified in great detail about the loans, interest, checks and profits and losses of the variocus loans ‘which had been made by the bank during Mr. Morse's domination. Loans to Wesley M. Oler, president of the American Ice company, were among those examined. Davis Pleads Not Guilty. Omaha, Oct. 2 .—Charles E. Davis was arraigned here before Judge Sears charged with murder in the first degree in connection with the sensa- tional death of Dr. Frederick Rustin last month, Davis, who appeared in court accompanied only by his attor- ney, pleaded not guilty and was re- leased on bail of $10,000, which was furnished by his brothers. The trial will occur in November. Result of an Old Feud. Dagdeville, Ala., Oct. 2..—Jack Hen- derson, a farmer of Tallapoosa coun- ty, was shot and killed on the public Bquare here by J. Fletcher Turner, representative in the lower house of the legislature from this county. The shooting is believed to have been the result of an old feud. IN OPEN FIELD ALL NIGHT LONG Michigmi Teacher Saves Her Pupils From Fire, ESCAPE IN NICK OF TIME Flames Sweep Down Suddenly Upon the School Building and the Occu- pants Get Out Just as the Fire At- tacks the Rear—Bears and Other Wild Animals Seek Safety on the Same Clearing as the Children. Alpena, Mich,, Oct. 22—Among the most thrilling experiences of sur- #vors of the Presque Isle county for- est fires was that of Miss Grace Bar- ber, a schoolteacher, nineteen years old, whose school in Krakow township was in session when the flames swept down upon the building. A terrified farmer had rushed into the building to give the alarm just as the rear of the schoolhouse caught fire. The young teacher marshalled her pupils in a double row, the largest at the head, and ordered them to remain in close order and not to break the line. She then directed the leaders to head for a plowed field nearby and the column started on a run, Miss Barber bringing up the rear to pre- vent straggling. Burning embers fell thick, but the teacher kept the chil- dren crowded close together and ev- ery ember was extinguished the in- stant it fell upon any child’s clothing. The fire burned steadily for some time, as the blaze in the tops of the trees ate its way down. Soon ani- mals began to appear upon the edge of the field and during the night two bears made their appearance. A fox came slinking in, as did also a wild cat, rabbits, partridges and other game. But the animals kept well away from the children, not even the bears offering hostile demonstrations. Miss Barber kept her charges in the field all night and in the morning sent them home in groups, piloting the smaller ones herself. RENEWING FOREST FIRES Furious Gale Blowing in Northern Michigan. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich,, Oct. 2).— There is no let up to the gale from the southeast, which was stronger than ever at daybreak, rousing forest fires to remewed fury. Detour reports twelve vessels in the harbor there un- able to leave on account of the wind. No boats have come down the river for twenty-four hours to bring reports from Whitefish Point, which was sur- rcunded when last heard from. Fires have broken out in Drummond island, sweeping away timber. Raber, Gatesville and Cedarville are reported filled with refugees from the woods. Sugar island reports sev- eral buildings burned, including many summer cottages along the shore. There is no sign of relief, the prom- ised rain not having come. ‘William Bacon’s saw mill at Pick- ford took fire from sparks from the woods and was totally destroyed. NEW MEXICAN TORNADO.

DRAPER. — ’ I0g that railway a§econd Tine tirough the wheat fields of Western Canada, but widely separated after reaching the eastern section of Saskatchewan, from which point the present main line runs northwest to Edmonton. The work is to be prosecuted vigorously during the next four years. In connection with this it is an- nounced that a portion of the $50,000,- 900 to be raised by the Canadian Pa- cific, approved at the annual meeting In Montreal recently, is to be used in continuing the double tracking of their main line from this city west to the Rockies to be better able to meet the future Grand Trunk Pacific com- petition in the grain fields. THAW'S ATTORNEY TAKES AN APPEAL Haheas Corpus Case in Hands of Gircuit Gourt, = Philadelphia, Oct. 2.—Former Gov- ernor W. A. Stone of Pittsburg, attor- ney for Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, took an appeal to the Urited States circuit court of ap- peals from the decision of Judge Young at Pittsburg, in which the court dismissed the writ of habeas corpus to bring Thaw to Pittsburg to testify in bankruptcy proceedings. The judges sitting in the court of appeals for this circuit are George M. Dallas, George Gray and Joseph Buffington. It is not known when the case will be heard. Mr. Stone handed the papers in the case directly to the judges and it probably will not be known what the appeal contains until the court de- cldes the matter. It is believed -the appeal merely reviews the case. Mr. Stone returned to Pittsburg. The court granted a writ of error, which means the case will be re- viewed by the court. Argument will be heard in December. THREE BORNED TO DEATH Many Others Narrowly Escape in New York Fire. New York, Oct. 2..—Three persons were killed, four others badly injured and the lives of a hundred more were imperilled by fire in the six-story ten- ement house at 83 East Third street. The fire started in the basement and before an alarm had been given the lower part of the house was ablaze and the flames were sweeping up the stairways. When the alarm swept through the crowded house there was a mad scramble for fire esoapes and windows and for twenty minutes the firemen and police were kept busy carrying the frightened ones to safety. It was not until the fire had been controlled and a search of the house was made that it was known any lives had been lost. SAVED ON BRINK OF GRAVE Kansas Woman Narrowly Escapes Be- ing Buried Alive. Ellis, Kan., Oct. 2 .—The timely in- tervention of a physician who was not satisfied with the appearance of the body prevented the burial alive of Mrs. Thomas Chapman. Mrs. Chapman, who is sixty years of age, was supposed to have died suddenly from heart disease. The body was prepared for burial, but was not embalmed. A few minutes before the casket was sealed a physician requested per- mission to examine the body, after which the woman was removed from the coffin and placed in bed. While her heart is very weak it is believed Mrs. Chapman will recover. MANY INDIANS MISSING. Cloudburst Causes Serious Flood in Oklahoma. Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 2 .—A cloud- burst between McLoud and Benson Park, Okla, raised all the small streams in that locality higher than was ever known and washed out the Rock Island tracks between those points and destroyed much property in the lowlands and along the Cana- dian river. This stream is now four feet above any former high water mark. About one hundred Shawnee and Pottawatomie Indians are miss- ing. All communication is cut off and further particulars are unobtainable at this hour. The Republican party is willing to assume the responsibility for the ex- pénse of rural mail delivery and of:dig- ging the Panama canal. - These are among what the Democratic platform calls- extravagances. 5 ADMITS GRAVITY ~ OF SITUATION British Premier Brings' Up Subject of Unemployed. | PLANS MEASURE OF RELIEF Government Prepared to Provide a Fund of $1,500,000 to Assist the Army of Idle and the Admiralty Is Expediting Its Naval Programme. Proposal Falls Far Short of Meeting the Demands of Labor Members. London, Oct. 2 .—The very serious “| matter of the unemployed in England came up for, discussion in the house :{ of commons, but a larger dole of money than last year and the expedit- ing of the naval shipbuilding pro- gramme were the only expedients proposed by Premiqe Asquith in his unfolding of the government’s plan to meet the situation. The gravity of the case, arising from the fact that hundreds of thou- sands are on the verge of starvation Surough lack of work, was fully rec- ognized by the premier, but he said he could not undertake, in the legis- lative field, to grapple with the per- manent causes thereof until the next session. The government, he said, was prepared to provide a fund of $1,500,000 to help the unemployed and the admiralty was giving out orders for the conmstruction of nine torpedo boat destroyers and five unarmored cruisers, to cost a total of $12,500,000, two months earlier than originally had been intended. The premier made also a bid for recruits, saying that the war office was ready to take on 24,000 men for winter training in the special reserves. These proposals quite fail to meet the demands of the labor members of the house. BRYAN AGAIN IN OHIO. Democratic Candidate in Territory Covered by Opponent, Akron, O., Oct. 2 .—Characterizing the reported attempt of certain em- ployers of labor to influence their em- ployes to vote for his opponent by threats of reductions in wages as the highest crime against American citi- zenship William J. Bryan, in Mr. Taft’s home state, launched into a new argument for his own election. At a dozen points the Democratic candidate for president emphasized his belief that the Republican cause in Ohio-is in desperate straits. He insisted that this indicated Repub- lican defeat in such states as Indiana, Illinols and New York and declared that Mr. Taft and the power of the rational administration were all to be concentrated in a final effort to save Ohio to Republicans. He intimated, however, that he personally did not believe this would be possible. Going along the Ohio river, travers- ing the same territory which Mr. Taft recently went over, Mr. Bryan ap- pealed strongly for the labor suffrage. He deflned both the Democratic and Republican positions on labor from his own personal standpoint and in- sieted bluntly that only by support- ing the cause of Democracy this fall could the laboring man hope to ben- efit by congressional legislation. Taft Enjoys a Day of Rest. Cincinnati, Oct. 22.—A day of abso- lute quiet and rest was indulged in by ‘William H. Taft, who arrived here at 7 a. m. Mr. Taft went at once to the residence of his brother, Charles P. Taft, and during the day saw as few people as possible that his veice might be improved as much as pos- sible, No one knows so well as Bryan that 1t s easy for a man to believe what he ‘wishes to belleve, Mr. Bryan says that he believes in free raw material. He got some of it when he named Governor Haskell of Oklahoma as his campaign treasurer. NO REASON FOR DOUBT A Statement of Facts Backed by a Strong Guarantee.

Barker’s Drug || OIL TRUST NAMED JURISTS Charge Made by Former Attorney General of Ohio. Balt Lake City, Oct. 2/.—Frank S. Monett, former attorney general of (-Ohlo, addressed a large meeting of Utah Democrats at the Salt Lake the- ater, the principal issues of the campaign, said: “The reason I left the Republican party and advocate the election of Mr. Bryan' is due to the fact that while I was prosecuting the Standard Oil trust in Ohio, and with every rea- son to expeot a successful issue, the Republican campaign fund ef Ohio was swelled by contributions from the Standard Oil company: and in return that company was allowed to name the personnel of the supreme court of Ohio, whereupon all of the Standard Ol cases were promptly dismissed. “Then,” sald Mr. Monett, “I became & Demoecrat.” MAKES RAPID HEADWAY Add This Fact to Your Store of Knowledge. .
