SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM OPTIMISTIC TALK PREFERABLE" After all there isa good deal in talk. Let a man talk dull times and it is infectious, everybody talks dull times. Instead of rustling around to take care of what business there is, some people go sit down and mope over dull times. If a customer does happen to drop into one of these “dull times” stores, he actually gets frightened out of purchasing one-half as much as he originally intended to buy, because things look so blue. He catches the spirit of the store and resolves to hang on to all his money witha death grip, even if his business goes to pieces on account of running short of goods to fill up the empty shelves. The bug-bear of hard times should be sat down upon. It is doing more to kill business than anything else. Tell a man he is sick, keep 1t up, and you wlll eventually have him in the hospital. THE FESTIVE MICROBE. Microbes in everything you eat and drink, and if you eat and drink microbes you will surely die, and if you don’t eat and drink you will still more surely die. Bound to surely die, in any event, you had 'betler pay no more attention to microbes than your grand-daddies did. They ate and drank every- thing they wanted and they lived and prospered. What did Methu- selah know about microbes in his time? Eat and drink everything you want, microbes and all, and you will live until you die, and that is what Methuselah did—he lived until he died. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G, Rutledge.] It begins to look as if the direct- oire fashion would pass away with- out giving us a glimpse of it. “The way, the truth, the life” has been consigned to the hell box, and apparently there will be no resur- rection. Forgers, embezzlers, etc., are “birds of feather that flock to- gether.” “Judge not, lest ye be judged.” A Paris burglar has been married with handcuffs on. He probably knew that he would come to it, any- how, sooner or later. Among the routine news of the day we note that one John D. Rockefeller gave away the insigni- ficent sum of $10,000,000. And the ©il market is being “‘bulled.” ‘The request for public examiners’ eagle-eyed auditing of accounts is becoming so much of a “fad” that it will soon be necessary to bond the gentleman who has charge of the church collection plate. A Michigan man offers a $1,000 cup asa prize for the farmer who will raise ‘the best corn. Will not some enterprising college also con- fer upon him the degree of C.

RULER REMAINS IN PALACE Defenders of City Still Loyal to Him Gathered About the Imperial Resi dence — Populace Enthusiastically Welcomes Advent of Nationalist Forces and Many of the Royalist Troops Desert to Invaders. Teheran, July 1.—One thousand nmationalists have entered Teheran. They came in by three gates and the entire northern section of the city was soon in their hands. There has bzen some fighting in the streets, but as a general thing the nationalists are preserving excellent order. They are sending out patrols through the city. The royalist troops, particularly the Cossacks, have taken up a position in the central square and surrounding SHAH OF PERSIA. streets and it is believed the nation- alists will attack their position in full force if they do not surrender. The safety of foreigners does not appear, at this writing, to be seri- ously threatened. The fighting in the streets contin- ued - for hours, but mostly at long range. There were no attempts to in- terfore with any of the legations or the British or Russian banks. Seize Parliament Building. Bipahdar and Sardahasad, the na- tionalist leaders, are in possession of the parliament building. A body of local nationalists, under the leader- ship of Young Seyed, have taken pos- session of the residence of Sand-ed- Dowleh, the foreign minister. Many of the royalist soldlers, including a number of Cossacks, have deserted to th% nationalists. 'he populace of the city is enthusi- astic over the advent of the national- ist forces. They throng the streets wearing, red badges and offering en- crragement to the revolutionary sol- dlars. There was a sharp outbreak of rifie fire near the British legation, but it did pot last long and the casualtles mg the nationalists were slight. e nationalists are in possession of the central offices of the Persian in- terpal telegraph system.

Yhe rebels before they attacked Te- heran had ravaged the wide and fer- the plateau about the city. The occupation of the Persian cap- ftal by the natfonalists is a direct re- sult of the insistence of the Persian poople that the shah govern the coun- try under the constitution of Jan. 1, 1607. The shah signed this constitu- corn doctor? COMPETENT MEN, NOT ~ PARTISANS, WANTED President's Pollcy on Census Patronage in South, ‘Washington, July 1 .—President Taft discussed with his cabinet the distribution of census patronage in the South. The senators of several of the Southern states have recently consulted with the president on this subject and he has told them that in 8 broad way his policy will be to name enumerators and supervisors without regard to political affiliations, the desire being to get the best avail- able men for the responsible and diffi- cult positions. The president will in- sist, however, that: the men racom- mended for these places by the South- ern senators shall in no sense of the word be active partisans. The presi- dent has told the senators that he does not wish political capital made of the appointments and {f there is any attempt to this end he will change his policy forthwith. Republicans and Democrats will share allke in the appointments throughout the South. In each Instance they will have to be men of standing in the Qommunity, however, and must justify thelr appointments by their own char- acter. tlon when he ascended the throne, but from the first he showed an indlina- tion to disregard it and finally with- drew it. PERUVIANS LEAVE BOLIVIA Result of 1l Feeling Between the Two Countries. La Paz, Bolivia, July 1.—The min- Isters here of Peru and Argentina are receiving final instructions from their respective” governments as to what course they shall pursue in view of the continued hostile demonstrations against their legations in this city.

Parts, July 1'.—The chamber of deputies has adopted almost unani- mously the amended French-Canadlan commercial treaty, with the concur- rence of the senate.

St. Paul, July 1 .—With 4,000 volces ringing in the first clause of the Chris- tian Endeavor pledge the St. Paul con- vention of 1909 adjourned and ~two hours later the official*special, bear- ing Dr. Clark and other leading fig- ‘ures of the convention, was on its way East.

Jones responded for India, Dr. T. Makimo for Japan, Rev. A. L. ‘Warnshuis for China and Rev. W. T. Johnson for the colored Endeavorers, in addition to the representatives of the various states, territories and provinces. Kentucky announced that it pro- posed to have the 600 saloons of Louisville closed before it entertained the national convention of Christian Endeavor in 1913, an announcement of candidacy that was cheered to the echo. New Mexico declared its intention of being admitted as a prohibition state, Oklahoma the glory of being the first admitted dry, Tennessee of being the newest dry state and South Dakota promised to go back to prohi- bitlon before another convention. BRYAN SENDS LETTER 0 PRESIDENT TAFT Suggests Vote on Popular: Elec- tien of Senators. Lincoln, Neb.,, July 1. .—Willilam Jennings Bryan has addressed a let- ter to President Taft asking the pres- ident to allow the people to vote on popular election of senators. Mr. Bryan says: “President Taft—Now that the states are going to vote on the rati- fication of the amendment specifically authorizing an income tax why not glve them a chance to vote on an amendment providing for the election of United States senators by popular vote? In your speech of acceptance you said that you were personally in- clined to favor such a change in the Constitution. Would this. not be an opportune time to present the subject: to congress? Two constitutional amendmeuts, one authorizing an in- come tax and the other providing for the popular election of senators, would make your administration memorable and I pledge you whatever assistance I can render in securing the ratification of these amendments.” LEVEE BUILDINGS FLOODED Mississippi River at St. Louls Contin- ues to Rise. St. Louis, July 1..—The Mississippi river continues rising and water has entered many buildings on the levee. The greatest damage has been to farm crops along the Missouri river between Jefferson City and St. Charles. Thousands of acres have been flooded. Wheat ready for thresh- ing has been destroyed and corn flelds wiped out. The railroad situation is little im- proved.. Only the Missouri Pacific and’ Rock Island lines are open between Kansas City and here. Other roads are using the Missouri Pacific tracks. Kansas City, July 14—Flood condi- tlons in this vicinity show much im- provement. The Kansas and Missouri rivers are stationary. Eastern train service is better, but train service South and Southwest is still demora- lized. SCORES OF BODIES FOUND Mine Disaster at Beimez, 8pain, Is Appalling. Madrid, via frontier, July 1,—It is reported from Belmez that scores of bodies have been taken from the coal mine at that place in which the ter- rible explosion occurred Monday, en- tombing more than 700 miners. Details of the explosion are being suppressed by the official censor and it was necessary to send what slight information could be secured to this clty by messenger and from here to the frontier. It is believed here that nearly all of the entombed men will be taken out dead, as all the galleries in the mine were clogged up by falling coal and slate and it wil take days and maybe weeks to reach the bodies.

Counsel for' Thaw Objects to Her Being Allowed to Answer and Is Sustained. White Plains, N. Y., July 1 .—Fve- Iyn Nesbit Thaw, subpoenaed by the state, which is opposirrher husband’s release from the Matteawan asylum for the criminal insane, took the stand as a witness at the hearing In the supreme court here on Harry K. Thaw’s mental condition. Deputy Attorney General Clark asked the witness about a conversa- tion which she had with her husband at Matteawan soon after he was com- mitted, at which Daniel O'Reilly, one of Thaw’s former lawyers, was pres- ent. Mrs. Thaw declined to admit whether she had such a conversation, saying: “I had rather not answer that ques- tion.” “Did Harry Thaw make a threat during that conversation that he would kill you?” asked Mr. Clark. Thaw’s counsel objected on the grounds that the conversation be- tween husband and wife was priv- {leged. Justice Mills ruled that the witness could answer. Doesn’t_ Care to Answer. “I don’t care to answer that ques- tion,” said Mrs. Thaw. “and I have not claimed any privileges so far as the record will show,” added the wit- ness. The witness declined to answer any of Mr. Clark’s questions and he asked the court to instruct her to answer. “I can’t afford contempt proceed- ings now and I must obey,” sald Eve- lyn, turning to Justice Mills. After further questioning, to which Thaw’s attorney objected, Mr. Clark asked the witness to describe the ap- L EVELYN NESBIT THAW. pearance of Thaw at the time she had the conversation at Matteawan. “T met him in the dining room and we both sat on chalrs,” said Mrs. Thaw. “The conversation only lasted & few minutes. His hair was mussed and he wore a handkerchief in place of a collar.” “Did his eyes protrude?” asked Mr. Clark. “Well, I would not say they pro- truded, but they were very prom- fnent,” replied the witness. Question Is Repeated. “During that conversation did Harry K. Thaw say this or words to this effect to you: ‘When I get out of here I will have to kill you? ” asked Mr. Clark. Thaw’s counsel objected to the question and the witness did not have up two men under the Washington avenue viaduct, securing $86. The holdups made a quick escape, but twa women answering their description were arrested a half hour later by the police ‘and were identified by the men. They gave the names of Mary ‘Walker and Rose Brown. to answer. Prior to the appearance of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw fully a dozen witnesses testified to conversing with Harry Thaw and that he appeared to them to be rational. The witnesses were men of various callings, including a minister, a raflroad conductor and a philanthropist. w fi-:—‘ AEska-Yukon-Pacfiic EXPOSITION SEATTLE: June 1 to Oct. 16, 1909 Auplendid%gpomm to_ oombine eduocation wi lmt?.

Sturgis, Mich., July 14.—Miss Mamie Davey of Chicago and Clarence Hunt, living near this city, were drowned in Klinges lake under mysterious cir- cumstances. Among the reports cur- rent is one that Miss Davey had threatened to commit suicide. From this report the theory is developed that she may have thrown herself into the lake and that Hunt perished trying to rescue her. HELD ON MURDER CHARGE Physiclan and Wife of Victim Behind the Bars. Crescent City, Ill, July 1\—Dr. W. R. Miller and Mrs. J. B. Saylar were held to a grand jury by a coroner’s Jury that investigated the slaying ef J. B. Saylor; vice president of the First National bank, by Dr. Miller in the presence of Mrs. Saylor at the Saylor home. On the day of the tragedy, when Mr. Saylor was absent from home, it s alleged that Mrs. Saylor, Dr. Miller, John Grunder, father of Mrs, Saylor and a resident of Oklahoma, who was visiting his daughter, and Ira Grun- der, a brother of Mrs. Saylor, had been drinking. - This statement was made by Ira Grunder, who gave himself up to the sheriff. Grunder sald that he had been overcome by the effect of the drink and was sound asleep when the shooting began. So deep was his elumber, he declared, that even the shots and ensuing confusion did not awaken him. Dr. Miller, both Grunders and Mrs. Saylor are in jail. No move to secure bail has been made so far. Peter Wease, a brother-in-law of Mrs. Say- lor, has arrived to assist the latter in her trouble. Miller is held on the charge of murder, the others as ac- cessories.
