At the Theater.

The Eden-Fontana combination, which
will appear at the Olympia theater on No
vember 3, showed at the Fort Collins op-
era house. The people sat spellbound
while Grace Eden performed her many
wonderful feats. A committee of seven Of
Fort Collins citizens were invited to take
seats on the stage to see that no
fraud was practiced, and they were salts
tied that it was just as represented. Some
of the greatest scientists of the country
have been baffled in their attempts to dis.
cover what power enabled her to perform
these miracles. Professor Fontana gave an
exhibition of his hypnotic power by caus-
ing individuals to forget their names and
many other very amusing things. Taken
as a whole, this show was the most won
derful that has ever come to town.

For Funds to Help McGraw and

NO Favor They Refuse Conf

ingtOn's Republicans.
Special to The Tribune.
New York, October 31.-The work of the
republican national committee proceeds
with the utmost confidence. Its executive
committee has been greatly annoyed by
letters and petitions from the state of
Washington, representing that the elect
oral ticket was in great danger, and urging
the committee to forward funds literally,
at once, as the only means that could possi-
bly, save the state to Harrison.
Senator Allen, it is said, has recently
made frantic appeals to the committee for
funds, and wished the same forwarded di-
rectly to him, instead of the state central
cOmmitte. Funds would have been sent
had not General Clarkson wired a number
of prominent politicians in different
parts of the state and received assur-
ances that the state was safe for
Harrison. Many of the replies stated
that 1T was the head of the state ticket and
not Harrison that was in doubt, and as It
was plain that the funds were desired to help
McGraw and Allen instead of Harrison, no
money will be sent.
1t is whispered that some yerv pointed
letters have passed between the committee
and Senator Allen within the past five
days, and by reason of the fact that
the committee refused either to for
ward funds or bounce Nelson Ben
nett from the committee, there is
now no brotherly love between the two.
The national committee has written the
senator that it has every confidence in the
loyalty Of the republicans of the state of
Washington to Benjamin Harrison and
that the members feel sure of the state.

LUTHER'S CHURCH.
An Historic House of Worship in
Germany.
Description of the Old EdIfice on
the Doors of which Martin Luz
ther Posted HIS Thesis-HOw the
Event is Being Celebrated.


WITTENBERe, October 31.-This old town
of pointed gables, quaint towers and mar
row streets, presents a unique aspect.
Everywhere bIlght banners and floral fes-
toons can be seen. The whole town bears
a holiday appearance. A great pavilion is
being built in front of the Schlosskirche
doors, where the emperor will receive the
keys of the edifce. This church was com
menced in 1439 and was finished in 1899.
In 1860 it was seriously injured by bonn
bardment and suffered in the same man
ner in l813-14. 1t was first restored in 1914,
and now, owing to Emperor Williams
generosity, is being again repaired.
On the north side were the wooden doors,
to which Luther affixed his thesis. These
doors were burned in 1850, but replaced in
in 1857 by metal doors, ten feet high, by
Frederic William ". They bear the
original Latin text of Luther's thesis.
Above, on a golden ground, is a represen-
tation of Christ, with Luther and Melanch-
thOn at his feet. On the right and left,
above the doors, are the statues of Electors
Frederick Wise and John Constant. The
bodies of these electors are buried in the
church.
Everywhere in town are evidences of the
great reformer. Not far from the railway
station outside of Blster there stands
an oak planted in 1880. This tree is
said to mark the spot where Martin
Luther publicly burned the papal bull
on December 10th, 1920. This spot is said
to have been selected for the purpose by
Luther, because here were buried the clothes
of those who died from the plague in College
Strasse, in Augustoum, in the court of
which stands Luther's house. The first
floor was fitted up by Luther Halle, and
contains many articles that belonged to
Luther. In the vestibule are a number of
paintings representing scenes in Luther's
life. In the market place stands a statue
OF Luther, under a gothic canopy. The
base bears the inscription "Ist is Gottes
work so wirdes bestehen; ist es menschen
work so wird es undergehen."Q ."Qf it be Gods
work it will endure; if mans work it will
perish). Under a brazen slab in the
schlosskirche lie the remains of Luther.
Immense crowds of people from all parts
of the country are in town to witness the
ceremony and dedication of the restored

Big Increase wages.

PHILADELPHIA, October 31.-The Union
league, of Philadelphia, has issued an ad-
dress to the business men of the country
showing the effect of the Mckinley tariff
law on the business and wages of Philadel-
phia. The address is based upon the exact
statements of increase taken from the hooks
of sixty-six mills and manufactures of
Philadelphia. The names of the firms are
given. 1t states that the percentage of in

The Wrecked RoumanIn.

PENoHE, October 31.-A heavy sea is still
running, which makes it impossible to ap-
proach the wrecked steamer Roumania
The steamer is broken in half and the bow

only 300 feet from the shore. 1t is hoped
when the sea goes down that more
bodies will be found on the wreck so that
they may be given burial on land Strict
watch is kept along the coast by cavalry
men, to prevent the pillaging Of bodies.
There is now no doubt the clothing was

why the FIshermem arc sad.

Olympia fishermen were sad today. The
trout fishing season is at an end for this
year. 1t will open again next May. Ac-
cording to the state laws it is a mlsde-
meanor to catch, kill or have in ones pos
session any mountain, brook or salmon
trout. This clause, ''in ones possession, p
does not hold good with reference to trout
taken in season and kept in cold storage
until used. This point was settled in this
state one year ago by test case on grouse
and in New York state by decision in
volving the same point.

PROPOSITIONS,
ANDY CLUNIE'S WARRANTS.
The Defendants in Eight Cases Ar,
Promptly DISCHARGED.

One hundred and twenty-seven alleged
'stuifers" were to appear before Justice of
the Peace Campbell yesterday, but only
eight cases were heard.
These were men who had been held on
those celebrated suppressed warrants that
Andy Clunie carried so long in his inside
pocket.
Assistant District Attorney Hosmer, who
appeared to prosecute, was evidently at sea
in the whole matter.
The election was over and the Demo-
cratic attorneys and supervisors OF election
who had been so active before last Tuesday
could not be found.
Cases were consequently set that will oc-
cupy the attention of Judge Campbell al
most day and night for the next two or three
weeks and then be dismissed.
III the majority of cases one John H.
ROacn is the complaining witness, but as he
did not appear In court it is fair TO suppose
that ne has crawied into Ciunie's pocket
he swore TO.
There were two other complaining wit
nesses. one of whom, Fitzgerald, has HIM
self been arrested as a suffer, while the
other, Thomas II. Conboy. when questioned
by Judge Campbell, admitted he knew moth
ing about the case except on Information
and belief. and in most of the cases frankly
told the court that mistake had bee 10
made
Over 100 cases went over till to-day and
the remaining days of this week, and there
IS strong probability that. when called up,
the Justice will say. This case is dis.
missed"
Judge Campbell is much dissatisfied at
having these cases assigned to him, and
said. after looking them over for awhile. he
was satisfied that the men who had made
the complaints were the men who should be
in Jail.
Eventually the cases went over, with the
exception of those heretofore mentioned
but Judge Campbell ntimated that he had
not yet finished with Conboy, aud that he
was determined Roach should appear in
court. =

Mr.. Scott elinched his hand as be spoke
and struck the arm OF his chair in con-
elusive way.
Now, as to the proof that the count was
crooked and that my opponent was not
elected, there is plenty of it. ANY one who
saw how the ballots were counted in the
Twenty-eighth. Twen,y-ninth. Thirtieth,
Thirty-frst. Thirty second and a few

actually have that evidence in good shape,
thigh you cannot publish IL, as IL would
be showing our hand and giving points TO
our opponents"
Documentary proof and the names of
scores of witnesses of the raw work"
against Mr.. Scott were shown to the re-
porter.
What could have better than that in the
way Of evidence?" asked Mr.. Scott. "What
more does any reasonable man, not a Kelly

wantp l tell you it is absolutely certain
And they will understand before the month

shameless ballot-iuggling that has dis
graced our city ii was definitely ascertained
that an overw helming array of facts can be

received 125 votes 90 of them were given to
Blattner and 80 TO McDade, leaving Scott
only % votes, or 100 behind in the count, In
an another precinct 40 votes were bodily
transferred from Scott TO MeDade. in an
other 80, in still mother 10, and so on.
1t was raw, raw work all around.
