Turtle River, Aug. 25.—(Special Correspomdence Pioneer.) — A rather poor exhibition of baseball was pulled off on the Turtle River diamond yesterday afternoon, when the Blackduck Second nine defeated the Turtle River Seconds, by a score of 15 to 5. The grounds were very wet, which made good playing impossible, but the game was a fairly good one, nevertheless.

Washington, Aug. 25.—Chairman Knapp and Commissioner Prouty of the interstate commerce commission are in receipt of invitations from Pres- ident Taft to'attend a conference which is to be held beginning next Monday in New York city to consider proposed changes in the interstate commerce act. Attending the confer- ence, besides the two commissioners, will be Attorney General Wickersham, Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce _and labor, Solicitor Gen- eral Bowers of the department of jus- tice and Representative Townsend of Michigan. The president and Attorney General Wickersham, it is said, desire to have enacted by congress legislation that will take from the interstate com- merce commission the {nvestigation of criminal practices of interstate car- riers and place such investigations in the hands of the officials of “the de- partment of justice and of the bureau of corporations. Such an arrangement would make of the interstate commerce commis- slon practically a judicial body, with powers limited to an examination into the reasonableness of freight rates. It is opposed by a majority of the mem- bers of the interstate commission, be- cause it i3 maintained that the inquiry into rates dovetails into the investiga- tion of secret rates and unlawful prac- tices to such an extent that it is im- possible to differentiate between the inquiries. SEEM IN NO HURRY T0 MOVE Spanish Generals in Morocco Delay Advance Against Moors. Melilla, Morocco, Aug. 25.—The present situation of the army of 35,000 men sent over to Africa by Spain to advance against the Moors is causing widespread discontent. Owing to the lack of proper transportation for wa- ter and supplies, as well as for strategical reasons, any advance is impossible for a fortnight or more. The commanding generals seem in no hurry to move. Spain has made every effort quickly to concentrate this army, but her soldiers are now cooped up in unhealthy camps and if they do not move soon they prebably will be decimated by disease. ‘When the campaign does begin it will be on a large scale and persons who are intimately acquainted with the Moors are of the opinion that ther will put up a good fight before sur- vendering. MASTER BAKERS IN SESSION Thousand Delegates Attend Conven- tion at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Aug. 25.—President Simon Hubig of Cincinnati, in his ad- dress opening the convention of the National Association of Master Ba- kers, approved everything the pure food bureau of the department of ag- riculture had done in reference to the use of benzoate of soda and preserva- tives. Nearly 1,000 delegates are in attendance. Two propositions to be considered arc to make loaves of bread weighing twenty-two ounces to be sold for 8 cents the country over and to form an auxiliary organization for the pur- chase of flour in large quaitities. PUBLIC SQUARE Citizens Wreak Yengeance on Negro Who Runs Amuck. SHOOTS SCORE OF PEOPLE Armed With Double Barreled Shotgun, His Pockets Filled With Shells, He Appears on the Streets of Monroe, - La, and Before He Is Shot to Death He Wounds Twenty-five Persons, Three Probably Fatally. Monroe, La., Aug. 25—Half crazed either by whisky or cocaine Bill Way, a negro from Pine Bluff, Ark., dashed down the main street of Monroe with a double barreled shotgun, firing in every direction, Citizens returned the fire and the negro finally fell dead after receiving ‘a score or more of wounds. - Twenty-five citizens were injured in the fight. ‘When the negro fell his body was dragged ‘intc the street and later taken to'a public square and burned in the presence of several thousand people. The negro appeared on the street with his shotgun under his arm and his pockets filled with shells. When he started to fire those ecitizens who were armed covered him and forced him into a doorway, where he held his ground. He would fire, step back into the doorway, reload his gun and fire again. Several citizens returned his fire every time that he appeared and he finally fell with a bullet through his heart. Four of the twen- ty-five citizens who were wounded by the negro are in a serious condition, while the injuries of the other twenty- one are of a minor nature, Two officers who came up while the shooting was in progress and closed in on the negro were probably fatally wounded. They are Patrolman Big- ger, shot in abdomen, and T. A. Grant, depnty sheriff, shot in the breast and neck. Simon Marks, a merchant, also received an ugly wound in the breast, which may prove fatal. Much excitement prevailed for some time and jt was feared at cne time that a mob might form and wreak vengeance on other members of the race, but the authorities took prompt precautions to avoid riots. BILLY SUNDAY NOT INJURED Published Report of Automobile Wreck Denied. Chicago, Aug. 25.—A telephone mes- sage received here from Mrs. “Billy” Sunday, wife of the evangelist, by her sister, Mrs. George Spoor, denies that Mr. and Mrs. Sunday were victims of an automobile accident near Laporte, 0t B “Mr. Sunday and his wife are, and have been, at Winona Lalk said Mrs. Spoor, after talking with her sister. “They have not even been automobile riding, let alone in an accident. I believe the story of the accident is based on a confusion of names.” SWEDISH STRIKE STILL ON Some Employers Refuse to Take Back Old Workmen. Stockholm, Aug. 25.—The promised calling off of the strike did not mate- rialize, owing to the employers’ re- fusal to reinstate all the strikers. Had the employers done this the strike committee would have formally declared the strike off. As it is hun- dreds of workmen returned and the position of those still out is becoming daily more precarious. The cabinet has begun considering a plan to force the employers to arbi- trate the differences with the strikers. HARRIMAN AT NEW YURK Declares to Reporters That He Is “Feeling Pretty Good.” New York, Aug. 25.—The steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II, with E. H. Harri- man oa board, has arrived here. Mr. Harriman declared to the army of "EDWARD H. HARRIMAN, newspaper men who boarded the ves- sel tha} he was “feeling pretty good.” He went aboard a tug at Quarantine and was landed at Jersey City, wheré he boarded his private car and start- ed for his summer home. IN SEEKING AID FOR SON Michigan Woman Drops Dead on Reaching Doctor’s Home. Escanaba, Mich., Aug. 25.—After running several blocks in the dark- ness to get aid for her som, who had been scalded in the explosion of a boiler tube ina stave mill, Mrs. Louis NS Courtright dropped dying on the porch of the doctor’s house when she had gasped her mission: ' She had been ill some time and died within a few min- utes. The doctor hastened to the aid of the son, who has good chances to recover. Negro Pythians in Session. Kansas City, Aug. 26.—With a dele- gation of 5,000 negro men and women from every state in the Union the supreme lodge of negro Knights of Pythias opencd here for a four days’ session. The delegates are quartetred in a tent city. “SUICIDE SEEKER” INJURED Daring Performer Is Probably Fatally Hurt. , ‘Waukesha, Wis., Aug. 25.—Burt Williams, billed on park vaudeville circuits as the “suicide seeker,” was probably fatally injured while doing his act at Waukesha Beach. Williams leaps the gap on roller skates, turning a backward somersault into the lake. He turned the somersault too soon and struck his head on the chute, sus- taining a fracture of the siwll. Ren- dered unconscious by the blow he narrowly escaped drowning, but was rescued by spectators on the pier. Final Decree in Gould Case. New York, Aug. 25.—Mrs. Helen Kelley Gould has obtained her final decree of divorce from Frank J. Gould. The interlocutory decree was signed on May 20 of this year. There was no opposition when Mrs. Gould’s attorney made a formal application to Supreme Court Justice Giegerich for the final papers. Crash May Be Fatal to Two. Beaver Creek, Minn.,, Aug. 25.—Fr- nest Haaman was killed when the threshing engine he was running crashed through a bridge six miles west of here and Ed Reno, a farmer, who was acting as fireman, was prob- ably fatally injured. SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE DROWNED Collislon of Steamers in Mon- fevideo Harbor, = Buenos Ayres, Aug. 25.—A collision between the Argentine excursion steamer Colombia and the North Ger- man Lloyd steamer Schlesien at the entrance of Montevideo harbor result- ed in the drowning of from 150 to 300 persons, mostly women and children. The Colombfa was carrying excur- sionists from Buenos Ayres to the festival at Montevideo, while the Schlesien was outward bound for Bre- men. The Colombia went down so quick- 1y that all attempts at rescue were practically hopeless. The Schlesien was damaged and is leaking. It is said that the captain of the German steamer and a few of the passengers were saved. The captain had to be restrained from committing suicide. Too Much of a Tease. Blough and Neighbors were chatting on the porch. Mrs. Blough was in the parlor near the window. Blough knew she was listening and wanted to tease her. “Had a little experience today,” he said to Neighbors confidentially. “Prettiest little girl you ever saw. She ‘was sauntering along the street some feet behind a strolling couple. I was walking faster, and as I caught up ‘with her I couldn’t help looking at her, she was so pretty, She caught my look and smiled. 1 had no intention of flirting, of course, but that smile was irresistible. Then our hands touched accldentally, and we let them linger a minute, She began walking faster to keep up with me, and we passed the couple ahead together. ‘When we got some distance ahead of them I mustered up nerve enough to speak. ‘Good evening,’ I said, and she replied the same very roguishly.” There was a swish of skirts in the parlor, and Blough turned In time to see his wife vanishing toward the hall. “Thunder!” he exclaimed. “Of course the little girl was only about six years old, but my wife didn't wait to hear that, She's gone upstairs to cry now, and even if she accepts my explana- tlon It means flowers and a party dress. What fools we husbands be!”— St. Louls Republic Sterne’s Destitution. Laurence Sterne, the writer, was the victim of the intensest poverty. A lt- tle time before his death, being in a state of destitution, he went one even- ing to borrow £5 from his friend Gar- rick. Upon arriving he heard music and knew that a party was going on. He heard the merry laughter and, gen- tly replacing the uplifted knocker, re- traced his steps. ‘We never feel our miseries so keenly as when contrasted with the joys of others, and it is only then that we real- ize Wordsworth’s picture: And homeless near a thousand homes I stood And near a thousand tables pined for food. Another story of this writer does not evoke so much sympathy. It was known that Sterne used his wife very ill, and In talking with Garrick one day in fine sentimental style of conju- gal love and fidelity he said, “The hus- band who behaves unkindly to his wife deserves to have his house burn down over his head.” “If you think so,” sald Garrick qulet- 1y. “I hope yours 1s well insured.” A Dull Letter, “The only news I have to tell you,” wrote -the Billville cltizen, “is that the river has riz an’ drowned all yer cattle, an’ yer uncle has broke jail; likewise the widder woman you wuz goin’ ter marry has runned off with a book agent. Outside of these heer things we air all a-doin’ well.”—Atlanta Consti- tution. 777" " A Wash Twice a Year. A charming Hungarian countess once said to me, “What is so nice about the men from England is that they look so clean, as if they had just come from a swim.” Of course we pride ourselves on our morning tubs, splash and splutter and shiver and.pol- ish up with rough towels. “What dirty people those English are,” remarked an Italian, “when they find it neces- sary to wash all over every day! Why, I only wash twice a year!” I have met Chinese who regard washing all over as a proceeding decidedly im- proper. A Chinese is washed when he 1s born, and he has no other altogether wash till he is dead. But we British people have adopted cleanliness only of recent years. Small houses have their bathrooms, but very few houses built over half a century ago were pro- vided with bathrooms. I suppose those must have been the days of the Saturday night wash in the kitchen. Certainly our gay cavalier ancestors in silks and ruflles must have been a dirty gang. Handkerchiefs were not invented, and the velvet cloaks must often have been greasy. The rollick- ing old times were very dirty old times.—*“Baths, Pleasant and Other- wise” . The Don’t Worry Theory. *The usual advice given to the wor- rier is, “Don’t worry.” This advice is foolish because impractical. No one can stop thinking one type of thought except by substituting for it another. Besides, it is dangerous advice, for, even supposing one could mechanical- ly put an’end to a worrying state of mind, he would simply be like an en- gineer who should plant himself on the safety valve of his engine. The energy expended in worry, turned inward on itself, would tear the mental mechan- ism to pieces. No! What the wor- rled man or woman needs evidently is to be taught how to find a health- ful outlet for his or her nervous power thus going to waste. If we say “Don’t worry,” let us also be careful to add, “But work,” and let us also point out what kind of work should be under- taken and the spirit in which it ought to be done. In other words, what the worrfer needs is re-education.—Rev. S. S. McComb in Harper's Bazar. Jefferson Davis’ Ambition. Jefferson Davis was a man of most sincere conviction and courageous ac- tlon, and when the Southern Confeder- acy was about to be organized his sin- gle ambition was the command of the Confederate army. This I had from his own lips at his residence at Beau- voir, Miss, some fifteen years after the war. He told me that when he started for Montgomery, Ala, when the movement began for the organi- zation of the Confederacy he hoped to be called to the command of the army, but before he reached Montgomery he was advised of his election as pro- vislonary president. When he reached the new capital of the Confederacy he found it impossible to change condi- tions, and he was compelled to accept the presidency, and he entered upon that duty as conscientiously as any public man ever entered upon an of- ficial career.—Colonel A. K. McClure in “Confederate Veterans.” A Yoga Story. For fourtcen years Bava Luchman Dass received from the priests of the Black Caves of central India the nec- essary education in order to become a Yyoga, as a yoga must be capable of taking the forty-eight postures of the Hindoo idols. Perhaps the greatest trick consists in balancing himself on the ends of his fingers while the whole of his body is in the air. Bava stated that in order to obtain the rank of yoga In the Black Caves of India he had to continue in this position on the ends of his fingers under the eyes of the judges, without a second’s inter- val, for seven days and nights!—Strand Magazine. Low Necked Dresses. In the early days of Pennsylvania there was a law, as we learn from documents In the state department, which stated as follows: “That if any white female of ten years or upward should appear In any public street, lane, highway, church, courthouse, tav- ern, ball, theater or any other place of public resort with naked shoulders —1. e, low necked dresses—being able to purchase necessary clothing, she shall forfeit and pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $200.” Not For His.

An Anomalous One. “Pop, wot’s an anomaly?” “An anomaly,” answered the chauf- feur, “is a man who keeps an automo- bile without kicking about the cost of repairs.”” — New Orleans Times-Demo- crat. Some Doubts. New Curafe—How's your wife, Ja- bez? Jabez —’Er's very doubtful, measter. 'Er doubts as ’er won't get better, and Of doubts as 'er wull.— Punch. Seldom s a smooth tongue withont & sting behind.—Irish Proverb, Did as He Was Told. A well known Brooklyn clergyman in a talk to his Sunday school urged the children to speak to him whenever they mel. The next day a dirty faced urchin accosted him in the street with, “How do, do=?" The clergyman stopped and cordial- 1y inquired, “And who are you, sir?" “I'm one of your little lambs,” re- plied the boy affably. “Fine day!" And, tilting his hat to the back of his head, he swaggered off, leaving the worthy divine speechless with amaze- ‘ ment. JAMES ADAIR PITTSBURG, PA.
