ROOSEVELT NOW AFTER TAMMANY Opens thé Campaign in New York State, CALLS DIX FIGUREHEAD Says If Democratic Candidate Is Elected He Will Be “Powerless in the Grip of His Masters”—Alleges an Alliance Between Wall Street and Tammany Hall to Defeat the Republican State Ticket. Dunkirk, N. Y. Oct. 15—“Wall street and Tammany Hall have struck hands,” said Theodore Roosevelt when he opened his campaign for the Re- publican state ticket here. Speaking to a great crowd in Wash- ington park, on arriving here, Colonel Roosevelt denounced the New York state Democracy with all the empha- sis which he could command. “We are fighting for the rule of the people against the most shameless combination of crooked politics and crooked finance that our state has seen since Tweed was driven from power,” he declared. John A. Dix, Democratic candidate for governor, he dismissed with a few words, as the “respectable and‘ unim- portant figurehead of Tammany Hall, to elect whom, he said, Wall street was doing all in its power because it knew him and because the people did not.” “Powerless in Grip of Masters.” “If elected he would be utterly powerless in the grip of his masters,” said the speaker. “The delegates to the convention represented nobody, not even them- selves,” he shouted. “Mr. Murphy was everything.” After speaking: in Dunkirk Colonel Roosevelt started for Jamestown, where he delivered his second speech, Colonel Roosevelt is putting in a hard day of campaigning in New York state, seven speeches having been arranged for him by the Repub- lican state committee. In addition to the speeches at Dunkirk and James- manca, Wellsville, and Elmira. Hornell, hopes to have his brief respite from politics in absolute quiet and to see no visitors.

St.- Paul, Oct. 15.—Governor Eber- hart will ask for a conference with the governors of Wisconsin and Mich- igan, together with forestry experts ot those and other states, to determine on a policy for the protection of the forests of Minnesota from devastating fires. This conference will likely be held in November or .Decerber of this year and it will result probably in a special message to the Minnesota legislature recommending a sufficient appropriation to patrol adequately the forests of this state. It is estimated that a standing appropriation of $100,- 000 and the employment of at least 100 fire rangers in the woods would be sufficient. This was the decision of Governor Eberhart upon his return from Bau- dette. Adjutant General Wood will remain in charge of the relief work, assisted by Attomey General Simpsoxn.

Various endeavors have been made to estimate the light of the stars. In the northern bemisphere = Argelander has registered 824,000 stars down to the nine and a balf ‘magnitude, and with the aid of the best photometric 1| data Agnes M. Clerk’s “System of the Stars” gives the sum of the light of these northern stars as eguivalent to 1-440 of full moonlight, while the total light of all stars similarly enumerated o both hemispheres, to the number of I | ‘about 900,000, is roughly placed at The . | scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies is- diticult to compute. By a photograpbic method Sir Willlam Ab- bey rated the total starlight of both hemispheres at 1-100- of full moonlight, and ‘Professor Newcomb from visual observations of all stars at just 728 times that of Capella, or 1-89 of the light of the full moon. It Is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were blotted out. Certain processes make the upper atmosphere strongly luminous at times, and we cannot be sure that this light would be totally absent.—Harper's Weekly. A Dutch Fishing Fleet. If the traveler wants to get a real glimpse of picturesque Holland, a glimpse which shall long be a happy memory, let him journey to the old fishing village of Scheveningen, oot far from The Hague. [ts fishing fleet is an imposing one and Is best seen at night, when the boats are drawn up on the beach. Each bas a number, and these are ualrued on the sides in such large figures that they can be read at a considerable distance. At night when the fishermen begin to come to land the women of the village walk down to the beach with their knitting in their hands to meet them. They wear their wooden shoes, some of which are made to look especially clean by an application of whiting, and they make a merry clatter as they go. Industry Is characteristic of the wous- en of Holland in all walks of life. “They must always be at work of some kind, and it would seem as if more knitting néedles must be used in Hol- land than In any other country in the world.—E.

Everything Hot Everything Gold Don’t forget to order yourice cream for your Sunday dinner. Bemidji Candy Kitchen Brown & Lankis ‘Washington, Oct. 15.—Railroads in Eastern trunk line territory have pre- sented to the interstate commerce commission their reasons for the pro- posed advance in freight rates and counsel for the roads have expressed entire willingness to rest their case on statements made by President James McCrea of the Pennsylvania system, President Daniel Willard of the Baltimore and Ohio and President ‘W. C. Brawn of the New York Central lines. Vast sums of money must be avail- able, according to testimony given by the presidents of gigantic systems, to carry their plans into effect and they are unanimous in the opinion that the necessary funds can be obtained, di- rectly or indirectly, only through a reasonable advance In freight rates, which, they -say, aside from the money thus derived, would make their securi- ties more attractive to investors. At the opening of the day’s proceed- ings President Brown of the New York Central resumed the witness stand for cross-examination. The only other railroad witness to be called is J. C. Stewart, vice president in charge of operation of the Erie railroad. “During twenty-one years the New York Central has paid an average of 4.76 per cent in dividends to its stock- holders, an average lass than they could have realized if they had in- vested their money in first class farm mortgages,” Mr. Brown said: “During that time they have taken out of earn- ings and applied to improvements 1.27 per cent, or just about 25 cents for each dollar of dividends.” Commissioner Lane asked how it happened that in such rich territory the New York Central had paid such small dividends. “Because,” Mr. Brown replied, “it has not been possible to earn any more.” VICTORY FOR THE RA|LR6ADS Believed They Will Be Permitted to Increase Rates, Chicago, Oct. 15.—A special dispatch from Washington says; The railroads are going to get near- 1y all they have asked for in the way of freight rate increases, according to the opinions expressed by unofficial authorities on railroad rate regulation who have been watching the investiga- tion conducted by the interstate com- merce commission. The general feeling is that the com- mission will effect a compromise be- tween the demands of the roads-and the objections of the shippers with the weight of advantage on the rail- road side. All possibility of the rate question, becoming involved in the issues of the congressional election next month was’ removed by an announcement made by the commission to the effect that the advances asked by the Western roads ‘would be held up until Feb. 1. It has been announced that the -Eastern rate advances similarly would be postponed until that date. MISSING CASHIER IN PRISON Life Insurance. Company §o Alleges in_ Defending Suit.

The latter disappeared in 1898 and the defense is attempting to prove that he is the New York penitentiary prisoner.
