Stanley Ketchel of Michi gan, the middleweight champion of the world, was knocked out in the twelfth round at Jeffries' fighting pa vilion this afternoon by Billy Papke, of .Illinois, who by virtue of his vic tory, becomes the middleweight cham pion of the world. It was a case of an Illinois thunderbolt against a Michigan cyclone and the thunder bolt wofi." Ketchel had the previous decision over Papke in a ten round fight, Ketchel was a two to one fa vorite today. Today's fight was one of the blood iest in the history of the American ring,, The fight was practically over after one minute and twenty seconds of fighting, of the first round. From that time it was merely a question, a short time shelter will be establish ed for all. Many merchants and other well-to-do citizens lost all they possessed ex cept the clothes they wore. While many are embarrassed, it Is only temporary, as insurance money will soon be paid. r QUIET IN 'FRISCO. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.With the city singularly free from indus trial strife of any character, the ob servance of Labor Day this year promises to be at quiet at it it no table. Two Immense parades, one rep resenting the Building Trades Coun cil, the other the Labor Council, will state from opposite directions and pass midway along Market street. Michael Casey will head .the Labor Council and P. H. McCarthy will ride in the van of the Building Trades-Council. ROADS WILL BE OPENED FIRST GOOD HIGHWAY MEET ING LARGELY ATTENDED MUCH ENTHUSIASM. WILL MAKE FINE DRIVING Tillamook and Clatsop County Take the Matter up at Recent Meeting s and Arrange to Let Bida For Three Miles of Road. TILLAMOOK, Or., Sept. 7.-The first good roads meeting held in this county proved a great success and was largely attended. V There is a strong sentiment in favoi of making good wagon road from the Yamhill county line at Dolph to Clatsop county, provided the other counties will co-operate. The county court has already taken up the mat ter of opening up the roads between Tillamook and Clatsop counties,, and at its present meeting has a bid to construct three miles of road around Necarncy Mountain, which overlooks the Pacific Ocean, and it is most likely that they will order this road constructed. The road from this city to Nchalem is in fine shape, and as soon as the roads' between Tillamook of how long Ketchel could Ust. Papke tore into Ketchel with suoli fury that the undefeated champion was simply lifted off his feet four times in the first round, After the first knock down Ketchel never really recovered himself. He bled from a rain of ter rible blows in the face, but tor three rounds he managed to hold his own. His right eye was useless to him after the first round and before the finish his left eye was all but closed. The last three round he staggered around the ring dizzy, and practically blind. All through the fight Ketchel bled so that the blood literally dripped from his open wounds onto Papke's clean body, and to the floor of the ring and the defeated man presented a hor rible sight. Papke. finished almost as strong as when he entered the ring with hardly a mark on him. Lester Webb Instantly Killed and Charles Balke Injured LOS ASGELES, Sept. 7.-Lester Webb was instantly killed and Chat. Balke, aged 17, suffered a fractured collarbone and flight concussion of the brain, and a battered face this afternoon at Agricultural Park when the motor cycle, ridden by Balke at a speed said to have been 40 miles an hour, ran into Webb in front of the grandstand. and Clatsop are complete it will make one of the most beautiful driveways in the State of Oregon, and will have enormous summer travel The dispo sition of the county court is to put the road from Dolph in good shape at toon as possible, but as there are several bad piece of road, especially through what was known as the In dian reservation in Yamhill county, it is necessary to get the co-operationof other counties before a good automo bile road from Portland, thru Wash ington, Yamhill and part of Polk, by way of McMinnville and Sheridan, in to Tillamook county, and thence to Astoria, can be made.

The man described himself as John Coughlan, a detective and when stop ped by a secret service man he pre sented a card upon which was in scribed his name and the word "Offi cer." He said he had come to ask the president for an order for 10,000 troops to catch "Yeggman" who had been terrorizing Boston. The secret service men stopped him .and asked his business. They tried to put him off that the president was busy and was not seeing visitors. Coughlin heitated a moment and then slid his j hand toward his back pocket. Secret: Service Agent Adams grabbed him. Coughlin is a slight man and he made j little resistance. In his back pocket a j revolver was found.

Emlen Roosevelt Lee Johnson Purchased Poison for Defense Against Crime SEATTLE, Sept 7.-Cyanide of potassium was purchased by Lee Johnston now on his way to Nome, to defend himself against the charge of murdering- Belle Gillchrist, his un lawful wife, six days before the crime is alleged to have occurred.

Warring, the professional parachute artist, cut loose from the ground Biaggi sprang into the cordage at the mouth of the bag and was carried upward to a height estimated at 6000 feet. War ring cut loose with his parachute at an elevation of 2500 feet, and with Biaggi, as its solitary passenger the balloon' drifted over the hills of the coast range until it was almost lost to view.

MARION, Ills, Sept. 7. -John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, ad dressed 20,000 people at their Labor Day celebration here today. Mr. Mitchell spoke of the rapid advance of the laboring classes and denounced the idea of the rich growing richer, and the poor growing poorer. He said he has abandoned all aspirations for political office. He spoke highly of the judiciary, but criticized its course in some of the injunction cases.

BURNS, Or, Sept. 7.-The first murder on the Harney county border for two years took place on Stein Mountain, in a sheep camp, when John C. Midland shot and killed a Spaniard named Lorenzo P. Ramos, after a quarrel in which the Spaniard whipped Midland. The original dis pute transpired a few days before the killing over the mixing of ihe two bands of sheep and culminated in a fist fight. 1 Midland went IS miles to a store in Diamond Valley, where he bought a Colts revolver. While there he re marked that he was geting ready to kill Ramos if he got into any more trouble with" him. On returning to Camp he met Ramos and shot him three times.

ATTEL AND MORAN FIGHT TO A DRAW Both Boxers Claim They Should Have Received De cision, But Spectators Agree With Decision COLMA ARENA, San Francisco, Sept 7. Abe Attel, the 'champion featherweight of America, and Owen Moran, England's premier boxes of that division fought a draw battle at the Colma open air arena this after noon in the presence of 6000 specta tors. The battle lasted 23 rounds at the conclusion of which the referee, Jack Welch, unhesitatingly grasped both lads by the hand and signifying a draw. The decision pleased the crowd and there was great cheering for both fighters as they left the ring. The fight on the whole was rather tame; this was off-set by the cleverness ex hibited by both fighters. The fight was very even and characterized by Attel's cleverness of blocking and Cheers of Crowd Please the Democrat HE HITS TAFT HARD Likens Republican Plank to a Lumber Pile, Calling It "a Mere Ragged Knot Hole" WILL USE MOVING PICTURES Every Move of the Candidate it Caught by the Motion Camera For Reproduction In Connection With Phonograph Speeches. CHICAGO, Sept 7.-Organized la'-' bor today paid tribute to William" J. Bryan. "Although it was Labor Day it soon became manifest that the workers had surrendered their privi lege and made it Bryan Day. Within an hour after his arrive! in the city the democratic candidate for presi dent, standing on the baloney of the Auditorium Hotel received the plau dits of thousands of toilers as they marched by in a monster parade. The air was rent with cheers and enthu siam was unbounded. Not infrequent ly the marchers halter before the can didate's seat, doffed their caps, with three cheers, "For our next presi dent." The pleasure which ovation afforded Bryan was undisguised. So insistent for a 'speech was the crowd in front of the hotel, that Bryan yield ed. In the course of his brief address he paid tribute to labor and said that he believed in the observance of La bor Day because he thought "We all ought to strive to assist in dignifying it in every possible way the honest toil upon which our nation properly rests." But this was only one feature of the visit of the democratic candidate. Bryan was conducted to Forest Park, where a multitude awaited him. He was given a great ovation. He deliv ered a speech on the abuse of the in junction in the labor disputes and lat er practically duplicated his speech at Brand's Park where the Electrical Workers were holding forth.

The consensus of opinion is that Attel has gone back considerably and lacks the speed that eoverner his 'previous battles. After the fight Mo jran told the newspapermen that he broke his right hand in the second round, but though he won, "By a mile." The Associated Press repre sentative examined the alleged broken hand in Moran's dressing room, but beyond the fact that his arm was badly swollen around the thumb it was impossible to verify his claim of a broken arm. Attel also claimed he should have had the decision and is willing to fight again any distance inside of 25 rounds. Attel's middle finger on the right hand was disjointed during the fight.

There is no question in the ordi nary Astorian mind that this city and the Columbia river will get the first rail and its traffic out of the Tilla mook region; that the Astoria Co lumbia River Railroad Company, a Hill line and connection, will beat the Harriman system and all its works, in the race down and to the coast of Tillamook. For, as 35 miles are to 70 miles, so is the chance of the A. C. beyond, and better than, the Lytle chance, to get in there, and here. At the same time, the Southern Pacific interests are going to be prac tically supreme in the splendid valley of the Nebalem, by right of traverse and spot-touch with its last product, cultivated .and uncultivated; and this is Where Astoria must get in her cleverest work; to fix the hauling of the- vast produce of that territory di rectly here, rather than permitting it to go back to the metropolis, for marketing. It is ours by every rule of natural tendency; by. contiguity, and by the logic of route, distance, despatch. We must get in and seal it to this port and point of distribution; this, the nearest and best depot that can be found. It is strictly up to the merchants and business men generally, here, to open up the campaign right now, and keep it swinging, along with every west-bound rail that is laid by the Harriman people. WE want the fruits, the vegetables, the dairy pro ducts, the grain, and the lumber of that realm, and we had best file such a bid for it as even the far metropolis will balk at. We can do this if we will; we have everything to plead, and offer and make good upon; and what we shall lose in the outcome, will be lost on our own initiative and primary fault and stupidity. There are certain elements of it that will come to us at any hazard, of course; mainly in the lumber, and heavier material out-put; beyond that, what comes Astoria-wald will be ours by conquest. be greeted with universal and spon taneous avowment that shall, in time, make it the great and foremost annual day of the American calendar. DISTINCT USURPATION. By what right does an officer of the law abate that law in order to give one man license against it, while he imposes the weight of that law on the neighbor of the favorite?. Who gives the officer sanction, immunity, freedom, in this "fast and loose" play with the statutes and ordinances?, What is the limit of this usurpation, and who sets it?. The people choose a group of trustees of their law, every so often, and, having no time to dis pense it themselves, charge, and pay, these trustees or officers, to give up their time and devote it to the honest and just administration of that law; and who among these custodians, and representatives, has the right to ignore, fracture and deny the law?. These questions are being asked quietly and, broadly in Astoria, and all America, today; and the patience of the people is wearing away be neath the pressure and chafe of the insolent silence, or more insolent in difference, of the initial transgressors who make the second, and intermi nable, transgression of the law pos sible. The people here and everywhere, are not asking in vain, either!. They are going to answer the queries them selves in their own way and time, in obedience to a fast-growing sentiment against the" truculency of the situation and the sheer peril of it in days to come. There is always plenty of local contempt for the man who sells, or gives away, his honor in such be half; and he is a fool who thinks the people do not know of his treachery because the lightning of their just wrath does not fall on the instant. This is, or should be, enough on this head at this time. If it is not there is plenty more, of even more definite and detailed sort, that can be had when the necessity for it appears. LABOR'S ONE DAY. It is just, expedient and appropriate that American labor should have one day of its own, devoted to its cause, its people, its hopes, its highest ex pressions; and that it has the sanc tion of the law is all the better. There are none, in all the wide realm of differentiations set up, even in this land of presumptive democracy, who can gainsay the equity and ethical propriety of the anniversary and its devoted observance. It is sure to become an immense factor in the uplift of the portion, and standard, unified labor is to assume in the development of the land and its energies, and all men hope to see it become an anniversary hailed and marked as a distinct accession to the freedom of the people by the virtues and high avouchals it shall perpetuate in the name of the workingman and woman. Progress, improvement, in vention, discovery, development, up lift, all are inevitable in the laboring world as in other elements of human existance, and intercourse; and the leaven is working steadily and plainly day after day while the world at large notes it and gives it honest recognition and appreciation. The Mitchells, the Gompers, are the men that are making for the big gest and best attainments of today; and it is only necessary that labor shall see to it that men of that calibre are put to the front and kept there; that the cheap and ignorant "blather skite" is back-handed into the back ground of silence and inefficacy; and its greatest ideals put forth by men known to cherish, as wejl as repre sent, them. We hope to live to see the day when this anniversary will PARTY OF PERFORMANCE. The Republican is a party of ac tion. It rests upon what it has done, and not upon what it possibly may do in the future. It has fostered every thing that has tended to make the country great and prosperous. It has moved with the people. It has kept abreast of the times. It has ever steod Veady to modify an old policy or to adopt a new one when the busi ness interests of the country have needed the modification or the change. It has protected American industries. It has protected Ameri can labor by stringent immigration laws. It protected the credit and business stability of the country by promptly declaring in favor of a gold standard, and writing it in the stat utes. When the time came it prompt ly seized upon the time and the oppor tunity to begin the speedy construc tion of the greaf Isthmian canal. It has never hesitated to assume a re sponsibility. When the cruelties in Cuba threatened the interests of America the Republican party resolv ed to put an end to those cruelties. When trusts sprang up it enacted a law to curb and control those trusts. When commerce was at the mercy of the railroads, it provided for a commission to regulate them. When shippers were oppressed by transpor tation companies it promptly enacted a rate law. It has met every emer gency in war or peace, met it in a wise, prudent and statesmanlike man ner.

AT A TIME WHEN MORE ADVICE TO THE YOUNQ MAN IS PRINTED THAN EVER BEFORE IN HISTORY IT 8TRIKES ME THAT THIS MODERN YOUNQ MAN NEEDS MORE THAN EVER BEFORE TO GET HIS OWN BEARINGS UPON HIMSELF IN RELATION TO HIS PARTICULAR WORK. THE WHOLE EQUATION IS PERSONAL AND SPECIFIC. GENERALITIES COVERING RULES OF CONDUCT ACCORDING TO CONVENTIONAL CATECHISMS MAY BE WORTH LESS. THEY MAY BE EVEN CONFUSING AND MISLEADING. 1 H H H The situation is that the young man has work before him. With certain modifications, perhaps, ho is the man to do it. The employer asks only that the work be done satisfactorily. I read the other day a catechismie dissertation uporj how every young man may succeed in life. It was in effect that, having true courage, this young man would recognize no obstacle in his way as un- sumountabie; tnat, naving no tear ot taiiure, ue would press on al ways to the accomplishment of anything he might attempt to do. Fundamentally I DON'T KNOW OF ANYTHING SILLIER than the promulgating of any such philosophy as this.' That young man who gets such a distorted idea into bis bead, believing it to be of practical, everyday value to him, must find DISAPPOINTMENT AND FAILURE INEVITABLE. There are a million common place things in business life that are impossible. Things that were possible yesterday are impossible today, and things possible today will be impracticable tomorrow. "Learn to obey orders" is one of the old reiterations of the con ventional teacher tjho fancies that an idealized philosophy 6hould apply to every relation in the life of the employee. Yet there are men every day losing positions because of a fool's obedience to the letter of a rule. Time was when an office boy would have been discharged if he had not untied carefully the twine binding a package and carefully pre served both string and paper. Today the boy who can cut the wrap pings from such a package and drop them deepest in a wastebasket in the shortest time proves his efficiency.

GARY, Chairman of the V, S. Steel Corporation. INANCIAL conditions are improved and improving. THE LEGISLATION RECENTLY ENACTED IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Next autumn will not witness a repetition of the scenes of October, 1907. There will probably be worked out a financial system which will provide funds for the expansion or contraction of the volume of business and for the immediate wants of particular localities which result from the exigencies of the time and place. THE NATION IS RICH AND RAPIDLY, GROWING RICHER. It compares most favorably with all other nations. It? opportunities in the direction of material growth are greatest of them all. If one glances at the figures relating to the increase in population or additional value of property and amount of money in the treasuries and the banks and in general circulation, one is amazed at the enlarge ment in resources and financial strength of the country. The wise' are even now prepared to reap the benefit which will result from these conditions when the tide of business fully returns. n WE 8HALL DO BUSINESS ON A BA8IS SOMEWHAT DIFFER ENT AND VERY MUCH BETTER THAN IT HAS BEEN DONE.

The following express warnings i i i i nave oern prounugateu, aim posieu, all along the Columbia River, by Master Fish Warden H. C. McAllis ter, and the deputy wardens and bailiffs of the service will' see' to it that all violations are strictly prose cuted upon apprehension and arrest; Notice is hereby given to all per sons concerned that from and after September 10, 1908, noon, by virtue of a law adopted by the people of the State of Oregon at the last general state election, it shall be unlawful (1) to' fish for or catch salmon or sturgeon in the channels of the Colum bia River, which is used for naviga tion, or in any waters of the Colum bia River over which the State of Oregon has jurisdiction between one- hour after sunset of any day and one hour before sunrise of the day follow ing. (2) To fish for or catch salmon or sturgeon irr- any waters of the Sandy River, above its mouth, or in the Columbia River, exceptJhat portion of the Columbia River lying between the west boundary or the northerly prolongation thereof of township 8 north, range 9 west, W.M.j and the west boundary, or the northerly pro longation thereof, of township 2 north, range 16 east, W.M. This means that no fishing is per mitted in the lower Columbia River west of a line drawn from the mouth of the Lewis Clark River across Young's Bay and the Columbia River, to McGowan, Washington. 3) No net, seine, gill-net jjr other device, for catching salmon, or stur geon, which said device or net is over 150 fathoms in length, or greater in depth than 41 fathoms shall be used, in fishing for salmon or sturgeon. (4) By. virtue of said law, the fol lowing closed seasons have been des ignated during which time no fishing is lawful; (a) Between October 1st and De cember 31st, of each year. (b) Between the hours of 6 o'clock p. m. of Saturday and 6 o'clock p. m. of Sunday, from January 1st to Oc tober 1st, next following of each year. It will be noted that the Fall close season for this year commences the 1st day of October, and the Sunday close season commences on same date for this year. This does not effect the regular spring close season of March 15th to April 15th of each year, nor of the close season of August 25th to September 10th of each year. A strict observance of all fishing laws will be insisted upon. h. c McAllister, Master Fish Warden for Oregon. 402 Oregonian Bklg., Portland, Ore. The following applies strictly and wholly to the upper Columbia: WARNING. To all fishermen and others engag ed in the fishing industry on the Columbia River and its tributaries, notice is hereby given tnat on and after September 10, 1908, the laws of the State of Oregon, prohibit, "Fishing of any kind in the waters of the Columbia River and its tribu taries east of the mouth of Sandy River, excepting with hook and line, commonly called angling." A strict observance of this law will be insisted upon. h. c. McAllister, Master Fish Warden of Oregon. Deplorable Levity. "We students can stand a good many things," said the college girl, "but this last missionary was too much for us. He preached on the glories of the mis sionary calling for women. He told us we ought all of us to go and help the heathen. That was all right "But then he worked up to a glow ing finish. 'Now, I appeal to you, as col lego women, how much better than mere learning and mere books It Is to go forth Into the world and become fishers of men!' "That was too much. Of course we smiled. In fact, some of us snickered audibly. Then the missionary com plained to 'prexy' that he couldn't help noticing a deplorable spirit of levity apparent among the students.,,-Phlla-delphia Letlger.

QUESTION OF NEW POLICE COMMISSIONER SLATED TO BE SETTLED TONIGHT At its .session tonight the common council is slated to elect a successor to Mr. Luurin, who recently resigned from' his position as police commis sioner, and us has been stated in these columns before, Mr, S. S. Gordon is the Mayor's choice to succeed' him But there may be a hitch. At the last meeting of the council the Mayor iu- vitcd the council to confer with him in another room, and while nothing was given out at that time in relation to the object of the secret conferencl ii is known that it pertained to the question of a successor to Mr. Laurin. Mayor Wise proposed to the coun cil members that he wished to name Mr Gordon, and he asked for an ex pression of opinion. All of the six members indicated that they were fa vorable enough to Mr. Gordon whereupon the Mayor wanted them to formally vote to accept him as the nominee. But here the hitch arose. Councilman Kaboth led a little insur rection, it is said. He thought there should be more "time," and under the guise of wanting more time he flatly opposed doing anything then. It is said Mayor Wise pleaded and urged and even "begged" the 'council to elect his nominee then, but when a vote was taken on the question of whether the matter should be post poned or not, Councilman Kaboth, Leinenweber and Stangcland voted to postpone, while the three other councilmen were willing to name Mr. Gordon then and there. Whether the desire to postpone ac tion was but a thinly veiled, but none the less real opposition to Mr. Gor don remains yet to be seen. Mean time the three other councilmen, Messrs. Belland, Karinen and Logan, have returned to the city and prob ably tonight there will be a full at tendance. There are many who feel that with Mr. Gordon on the commission the moral welfare of the city would have a staunch advocate. Back of the ap pointment arises the inevitable ques tion of a "wide open town," and hence it is natural that those who want a commission that will play fast and loose with the laws of the city natur ally want to know if the mant who goes on the commission will be one of their kind or not. It has b&cn hinted that "Tony" Smith may be named by the Mayor in the event that the council refuses to elect the Mayor's first choice, Mr. Gordon. Jack's Lucky Baa.

New York Tribune. Forest of 8tone In Australia. In Albany, In Australia, is to be seen a stone forest In other words, petrified trees. The trees are of a gray stone. It is suggested as an explanation of the strange phenomenon that In the depths of past ages the forest was In full vegetation and then through some upheaval of the earth it was buried In sand. Little by little water acting on the sand penetrated the branches and soiidinea. The wood gradually disappeared un der the layer of stone and in time took its form. Then In succeeding years the winds again carried away the sand and the forest appeared anew, but of stone. London Globe. A Legal Thruet.

TOKIO, Aug. lS.-Thc amount ol subsidies grunted under the Meant na vigation and shipbuilding encouraage ment luwi is steadily increasing and the question of the amendment oflawt in order to check a further increase was taken up in the diet during tht last session. The terms of contract for the grant of the special subsidies to the European and American ser vices of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha ex pire at tbe end of the present fiscal year and the Department of Communi cations has been considering the ques tion whether it is necessary to con tinue the grant, and if necessary, what amount should be granted. The department is also considering the amendment of the steam naviga tion and shipbuilding encouragement laws. The estimate of the special subsi dy for steam service for the present year amounted to 6,885,3(10 yen; that of the steam navigation encourage ment bounty to J&J.S yen, and of the shipbuilding encouragement boun ty to 1,995,440 yen, making a total cf I2.36S.69S yen, an increase of 3,06 622 yen on the estimate for last year. The amount of the shipbuilding ami steam navigation encouragement sub sidies continues to increase year after year, steamship companies which re ceive special subsidies for their ser vice are also granted encouragement bounties and in this way receive double subsidies. This now appears to be recognized at objectionable by the administrative reform committee. A certain official In the finance de partment is quoted as saying that Jap an pays ne -t France the highest amount of subsidy to steamship ef any nation. There would be no harm, he thinks, in paying such a large amount of subsidy to marine business if the finances of the empire would allow of such an expenditure, but un der present financial condition, it is necessary to restrict the amount grant ed to the reasonable level not so low as to retard the development of steamship service. The retrenchment of these subsidies he regrads as one of the first thing to be undertaken in the sphere of adminitrativc and fi nancial reform. LIGHTS WENT OUT.

Another Pointer- Speaking yesterday, of the big Sun day train of salmon from this city for the East and Europe, hence via the Coble ferry, Vancouver and the new "North Bank" Railway, a well known citizen of Astoria remarked that "the distance from Astoria to Vancouver, via the Coble ferry and N.

PHONE 1181 GOOD GOODS PHONE 031 120 TO 124 TWELFTH STREET Handles Much Money That the city of Astoria is a pretty big and thriving city is indicated by the amounts of money that are hand led by Mr, Dealey, the city treasurer, Since the first day ofgjuly he has paid out on warrants the sum of $25,229.75, a major part of which was drawn against the general fund, and virtually all of the remainder being out of the sheet' fund. The general fund rep resents that part of the city's mdncys which go to meet current expenses. Last quarter the general fund claims alone amounted to $39,400.20 Each year Astoria pays out $11,000 on in-J tcrest of bonds. In the office of the city auditor has been filed a communication from J, E. Ferguson, of the firm of Ferguson Houston, general contractor, where in it is alleged that the Mreet im provements on Eighth street from Harrison to Lexington have been done in an improper and inadequate manner. Mr. Ferguson was called upon to make payments aggregating $.W, the names of Almira E. Fergu son and Montillions Hawthorn also appearing in the claims, and he states that he has deferred paying for the reasons set forth in his communica tion. He allege first of all that the work ha not been done in accordance with the terms of the contract. The street ha not been graded to its re quired width, he state, nor improved to the grade required at the corner of Eighth and Lexington. The com munication further states that the improvement at the south side of Kensington is but 49 feet wide, and at point at about 50 feet north of the north side of Kensington it is but 48 feet in width; while at many places the street is 10 or 12 inches above grade. In addition to this, it is further 'alleged that the sidewalk and crushed rock road (which had formerly been made) which were to be left in as good condition as when the contractor commenced the work, "were virtually destroyed, nor were the banks sloped as required. Mr, Ferguson further complains that the manhole cover at Eighth and Kensington is six inches above grade, "which fact was known to your offic ial before acceptance." In conclusion Mr. Ferguson states that he is ready and quite willing to settle any just claims, and calls atten tion to the fact that he was very de sirous of having the work done, "but," he adds, "you will certainly agree with me that inspection before accept ance was very lax." He requests that the council look into the matter and take such action as is necessary to have the work completed in accord ance with the contract. Additional weight is apparently given to Mr. Ferguson's communica tion to the council by the fact that complaints of a similar nature are not uncommon, and some of them are made by men who are in a posi tion to know, and who at the same time are on familiar and intimate terms with the city administration. It is understood that the itrc-t rnper itiU'ifknt u d,Mp-ed to dcfetid him self on the grounds that he alone cjh not propcrrly inspect all the work hat is being flosif, but hi defence carries a confusion that the work of inspection is not being properly done. Mr. Hanson, chairman of streets com mittee, coiiiphiinH at a recent rneet- j nt the coijiicjI that -it is simply impossible fur fiiin to 'devote suffic ient time t" .'.lie vork that he is called fpon to do. Mr, Hanson told the council plainly that too much work is being piled on his shoulders. The conclusion is plain; and the many complaints of -joor street work and inadequate inspection appear inevit able from the circumstances.

The woman gave her name as Mrs. Sinclair. She is a stranger in the city, she said, and had come here to find some friends who live on Tenth street. The trouble had its origin in the fact that Mrs. Sinclair went into the Japanese restaurant where Okuma is employed as a waiter, and there she ordered a meal that she says she re fused to pay for because it was unfit to eat. She left the restaurant with the Jap waiter following her. At the Hagar theatre she apparent ly suddenly saw a means of possible escape from him and went to the window and called for a ticket to en ter the place. Then it was that the waiter first began to attract attention. Men standing in front of the theatre were surprised to see the Japanese suddenly grab the woman and for cibly pull her back from the theatre door. Several times he did this, and several times he grabbed for her Two Little Chicago Girls Face The pocketbook. Finally she turned and started to ward the sidewalk again.

Cold World Alone, CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Vearied by "Dollie Dimples" Popular The Grace Cameron Opera Com pany, which played at the Astoria theatre Sunday evening, and yester day afternoon and evening, has won distinct popularity with Astorians for the bright and clever work done in "Dollie Dimples" and Mademoisele Julia." The entire troupe, from Miss Cameron's brilliant and versatile self, down, seemed to be bubbling over with a faculty, and desire, to enter tain: there was not a single moment lost in the house save when the cur tain was down; and then the time was given to happy comment on what has gone and expectation to what was to come; conditions flatteringly pre sumptive of a thoroughly enjoyable show.'

Bashful and Hesitating Swaina United With tha Aid of the Mute of Uncle tarn's Furious Representative He Earns Gratitude. (Copyright, 1908, by T. C. McClure. For the first half dozen houses on my route the other day everything went well and everybody was happy, but then I bumped up.alnst It The good wife of Farmer Ben Johnson was at the gate to receive a letter, and after she bad made sure that it was from her sister In Nebraska she turned to me, and In a confidential voice she aid: "Abe. I'm afraid we are going to lose our lamb." 1 didn't know that you kept sheep." 1 answered. "We don't I refer to oar daughter Jess. "Oh, I tee. Well, has Jess got an other soft cornr "Don't make fun of me. Abe. This to serious business.

He has given out that he is going to enlist for a soldier and go off to the Philippines. Jess Is Just worrying her self sick, and you've got to do some thing." "But I can't take him by the neck and bring him back." "No, but you can write some poetry, and you've got to do It You must write something to scare him and at the same time melt bis heart There's cold milk and a big piece of pie await ing you in the kitchen. As for Jess, he's still abed and won't see any body." I went li, and when the milk and pie bad been disposed of I tuned up my muse and wrote what I called 'The Shriveling Maid," as follows: They tell me that my cheek is pale That, like a Illy drooping, I now seem going to my grave Instead of gayly whooping. My eyes are dim with bitter tears; My cheeks are sunk and hollow; My weight has sadly fallen off, And there Is more to follow. I dream and dream of various things Of fregs and toads and gators I dream of centlpeds and rats i And vile impersonators. I dream to wake and wake to dream. And In my dreams I'm falling. And in my waking hours I find Myself for Harry calling. They say he's given me the shake; That I'm a maiden jilted; That, like a broken big sunflower, I'm withered and I'm wilted. But 1 shall believe my Harry true. Come back, my love: come hither, And do not leave your Jess to fade And s'irivel up and wither. "Abe," nald the good woman as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "you've truck it.1" "I believe I have, Aunt Liza." Saved Their Lamb. "I know It You've appealed to that young man's feelings as no seventeen preachers could. You have saved our lamb, and if I don't be a sister to you all the rent of your days I hope to be hung. Yea, sir, when Jess copies them verses off and sends them to Harry there's gclng to be something doing. His conscience is going to cry out un til he will come over here on the run." I don't know bow fast he ran, but next day I heard that the quarrel had been mad? up and that the shriveled maiden hsd ceased to shrivel. I was driving along and feeling how unjust it was of the postmaster gen eral to feel Jealous of my poetry when It was doing so much good, when Farmer Joe Smith's hired man beck oned me from the barn. I had henni that he hud an affair of the heart on hand, and I drew up and descended. "Say, Abe, I'm a dying man." he said with a qulcer of the lip. "Been taking paris groeu':" I nnked. "No. It's what they call in; requited love. I'm in love with Sarah Jackson, and If she won't have n:e It'll be n caw of suicide for sure." "But have yo.i asked her?" "Not-net yet. 1 datn't. Abe.

He was pale and trctnbliug. and. h'.s chin sinking and seeing what u uurj cast' it was, I sat down and wrote t!:i following, the same belug lutcttded appeal to both her humorous and pa thetic side: Oh, the roses come, and the roses bloom. And the roses droop and die, And the sad south wind it walls arour.-J The spot where the hollyhocks lie. Oh, life of earth Is a sad, sad life! We meet today, and we part. Today we gather the roses and laugh: Tomorrow there's grief In I'.ir huurt. At midnight I wake to think of my love. To list to the wind as It blows. To hope that my Sarah won't fail out of bed And land on the floor on her nose. My love she has had for many a month- The love of a strong married man. The love that endures the tat pork and beans Devoured by her Jlmmie McGann. 1 pray that my love Is regarded in kind; That Sarah has thoughts of her Jim; That he is not driven by blackest despair To go har.g on a hickory limb.

I am happy to j record that It worked in the same prompt and satisfactory manner: I have loved him long and tender; 1 have loved blm long and well; I have never loved another man As I love Billy Dell. He swore he did return my love And caused my heart to flutter And made me lose my appetite For toasted bread and butter.

But ah, alas, he turned away He turned to Betty Bakerl And could I do aught else but; say, "You chump, but go and take her?" I've tried full hard my love to kill; I've sought to quench the feeling; I've wept and pulled my nose so much That It Is sadly peeling. It can't bo done. The only thing Is river or cold plzen; A ropo a-lianging o'er a limb, And I am free from prison.

Presumed to be the Only Known Heirs of the Ancient Monsters, and Are Harmless But Ferocious in Appearance. NEW YORK, Sept. 7. A pair of dragon lizards from Vera Crux said by scientists to be the lineal descend ants of the Dinosaurus, the giant lix ard of early days, have arrived at the Bronx Park Zoo. The dragon lizards are very rare. They are each about two feet in length, of ferocious appearance, al though harmless, and stand and run en their hind- legs without dragging their tails along. They run faster than any other lizard known. The lizards are brown, with white stripes. On their heads are brown combs, somewhat similar to the comb of a rooster. The hind leg. has the distinguishing characteristic which led scientists to believe that they descended from the Dinosaurus. "There is little doubt that these are the only known lineal descendants of the Dinosaurus," said Raymond I Ditmars, curator o fthe reptile house. "Of course the Dinosaur of the old days grew to enormous size. Some of them were SO feet tall. They walk ed on their hind legs just as the darg on lizard does and their petrified re mains dug up in recent years in var ious parts of the world show the same general structural characteristics as the dragon lizards. These lizards are found only in Mexico now but their range may have been much larger years ago. They are not poisonous and are very timid in spite of their vicious appearance." TAFT QUITS FISHING. Republican Candidate Speechmaking En Route to Cincinnati SANDUSKY, Sept. 7 Taft today began hi journey from the fishing grounds of Middle Bass Island to the activities of his campaign at Cincin nati, where he will arrive tomorrow after a speechmaking trip through the state. The Taft family ouartered to night at the home of Edward H. Marsh, a college friend of the candi date. The feature of the day was a visit to the home of the late R. B. Hayes, at Spiegel Grove near Fre mont. Judge Taft will begin tomor row the political talks he is to con tinue throughout the thy. He will address the old soldiers in an old his torical speech early in the morning.

The cof fee berry is cut up (not ground) by knives of almost razor sharp ness into small uniform particles. Thus it is not crushed, as by the old method of grinding, and the little oil cells remain unbroken. The essential oil (food product) cannot evaporate and is preserved indefinitely. This is one reason why a pound of Barrington Hall will make 15 to 20 cups more of full strength coffee than will any coffee ground the old way; why it excels all other coffee in flavor and why it. will keep perfectly until used. But the main thing about Barr ington Hall Coffee is that it can be osed without ill effect by those who find ordinary coffee injures them, because the yellow tannin bearing skin and dust (the only injurious properties of coffee) are removed by the "steel-cut" pro cess.

It is understood that it will be used in the campaign in con nection with the phonographic rec ords of Bryan's speeches. Bryan and Gompers met tonight at luncheon given in conjunction with the reform league. Bryan's speech confined to himself entirely tribute to Gompers as the leader of organized labor. Gompers responding declared that organized labor was in the cam paign, "Absolutely in harmony with the contest which the Democratic party and Mr. Bryan in this cam paign make, not only for organized labor but for the common people of our country." He likened the labor ulank of the republican party to a lum ber pile, "It is by no means a plank but a mere ragged knot-hole, he said.

Police Officer Afraid he Couldn't Pass the Examinations. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7. Doubtful of his ability to fulfill the requirements of the civil service com mission which provides that an ap plicant for the police force must measure six feet in heightand possess a 43-inch chest, it is charged that Daniel W. Toomey, who has been a probationeer for six weeks past, con ceived the idea of sending a substi tute to take the physical examination and supply the headwork himself. The plan might have succeeded, it is said, had it not been that Toomey had previously taken a bona fide physical examination.

Tigers' Dlrtotor of the Even Tempered Sort, While, on the Othtr Hand, Giants' Pilot Is of Fiery Klnd-Both of 8amo 8ehool. Oue of the most interesting charuc ters before the baseball world today la Ilughle Jennings, manager of the champion Detroit Tigers. No iunnngtr of any team lu baseball today Is more of a universal favorite than the big hearted Irishman who directs the play of one of the most aggressive teams In history. Of the old school In which John Mc Graw, manager of the Giants, gained his extensive knowledge of the game. Ilughle Jennings was pupil. With Mac, Kelly and Keeler he helped Ned Hsnlon perform feat that has never been duplicated In the big leagues, that of winning three successive pen nants. With McGraw, Jennings today stands out as one of the greatest pilots that ever directed the affairs of t base ball team. There la a marked resem blance in the respective methods of the unexcelled leaders of the most spirited dabs of the respective leagues and at the same time number of striking differences. Both are fighters from Ibo drop of the bat Neither Is beaten till the last man Is out in tho ninth Inning. It makes no difference whether the team Is behind or out In front, these wily past masters never for a moment will tolerate a letup. Last year Jennings fined one of bis star players for failure to run out a hit In the last Inning despite the fact that two were out and the Tigers had the game won be yond the slightest possibility of doubt Jennings, however, Is more even tem pered than McGraw. He never allows himself to he wholly curried away by rage, as has McGraw In the pnst He In always the gentleman and uses no ob jectionable lunguugeion the field or among his players. Ills nature is even more peppery than that of McGraw. John Is content to take things serenely when his team Is out In the lead. Jen nings glories in victory and takes de feat harder than even McGraw. It Is this nature that has won for him such respect In big league cities. Fans love to see the mighty trio of cloutera, Cobb, Crawford and nonunion. In action. But they like better to bear the fatuous B Yah!" slogan of the Irrepressi ble Ilughle. No one would travel very far to hear McGraw coach. He's anything but n hit in thin department of the game. Yet he Is even more keen than bis old side partner to gra'sp a situation. None In the business can catch the signal of distress as quickly as McGraw. It I" this Intuition that has made the' New York leader the grand success he Is. It Is this attribute that enables blur to keep up In the race for the national league pennant. When It comes to generalship, how ever, the old pair are about sixes. Crafty to a degree, both Jeunlngs and McGraw are able to get every ounce of energy out of their followers. The players like them and will do all In their power to win for them. McGraw, however, Is more ebld blooded than Jennings. Xatumlly he looks for recognition. When a player falls to follow the advice of McGraw the New York leader Is annoyed. He has not the faculty of hiding bis an noyance, as has Jennings. Ilughle can feel all the angers of a demon and still bear the countenance of an angel. He never yet has permitted his anger against a player to sway blm to such mood as to publicly call down the of fender against his fellows. It Is a slap on the back and a bit of encourage ment while the others nre around. If he thinks the transgression was delib erate, It Is of course something else when he gets the player by himself. That McGraw Is one of the brainiest men lu baseball cannot be denied. He perhaps knows more about the game than any other living man. He knows a player, too, as far as he can see blm and can develop material a bit better than any one else. Yet be has not the same pleasing personality possessed by Jennings, which propagates unself Inbuess and nourishes perfect team play. When Jennings took bold of the Tigers, a second division team, ev.cry player was at the throat of his fellow. In a few months every faction had disappeared. Never in history has any club shown more fighting spirit or more brilliant team play than did De troit last year and up to the present time this season. It looks very much as If the Tigers are bound to take the American league honors again. The Giants nre going so smoothly thnt New York fans believe the efforts of the team are to bo rewarded by the third pennant. Should Detroit and New York win In their respective leagues what a grand battle the hosts of the former old pals would put up for the world's championship; It would be worth ten years of one's life to note tho strategy the peerless leaders would employ. Griffith Has Good Idea. Clarke Griffith thinks there should be some exceptions to the rule regarding the batter being out on a third strike, whether the ball Is held or not, when there Is n runneron first. If the third strike happens to be a passed ball he doesn't think the rule should apply, for In such cases there Is an actual misplay by the catcher, and obviously nothing can be done In the leay of a double play.

To Try Baseball at Night. BaselmU'ut night is tho latest project to be taken up by Oarry Herrmann. Jialrman of the national commission and 'president of the Cincinnati club. T develop the Idea and try out the proposition a company with $30,000 capital stock was incorporated by Herrmann and several assoclutos. The Idea was suggested by George P. Ca hill, a Philadelphia Inventor. Cablll has devised a lighting system which he believes will flood n ball park with sufficient artificial light to make It possible for games to be played at night as well as by day. The piano for lighting include the erection of five steel towers each a hundred feet high and surmounted by strong twin search lights. It is said the searchlights can be arranged so that their strong rays will not Interfere with the players. If the scheme proves a success It will revolutionize baseball and enable clubs to play to larger crowds than at pres ent when many fans cannot get away from their dally round of work to at tend the srames.
