UP till date Nez Perez county
has inade no movement to organize
for display at the Spokane Indus
trial exposition. There is no doubt
but that such a movement will be
made, and the earlier such action is
taken, the better for the county
and all concerned. The opportun.
i,y for making an attractive and
winning display was never better
in the history Of the county. The
crop now maturing is one of ample
range and quality to make dis
PLAY as would justify the assertion
that our resources are seconi TO
none in the field. The value of
making such a showing at the
irui. fair is too well exploited to
need much argument, The fruit
fair this year has enlarged its field
and will attract more people. Hon
ors maintained and advanced by
Nez Perez county will have cor
respondingly additional value. To
be able to show to the assembled
thousands at the industrial EXPOSE
ton that we are the banner county
in the inland empire. and as well
as its coming railroad center would
be a browning feature to attract
immigration and capital to this
legality.

A canvass shows lnat there are
20, 600 more men employed in
Chicago than two years ago, and
that they receive an average OF 10
per cent. raise in wages. That is
not bad showing for a claim to
prosperity. But the same condi-
ton obtains all over the country.
We do not have 10 go away from
home 10 realize that the demand
Tor laboring men ia all fields OF
employment has grown exten-
siyely within the last two years.
The demand at present for men to
work on the railroads and in the
harvest fields of this section is far
in excess of the supply to be had
from the actual cooperation of
several large employment agencies
in cities even so far distant as ST.
Paul and Portland. The wage
earners of the country, who desire
to work, can readily find employ
ment now, and the outlook for the
future is even more encouraging
for capital is seeking avenues OF
investment which will open new
fields OF endeavor. The claim
that prosperity can be maintained
under republican policies seems
fully maintained by proof Of such
existing conditions. One material
difference between hard times and
prosperity is the working mar
hunting job, and the job hunting
for the working man. To-day tht
contractor and manufacturer are
alike hunting for men to be EN-
ployed on the job that is waiting

We have made it a part of our
business methods for over Is years
to represent things just as we think
they are. For more than 25 years we
have claimed that the O.. O. TAYLOR
Whiskies are made, bottled and sold
pure. We have that amount of con-
fdence in our output to assert that
whether you find G. O. Taylor
WHISTLES in any town or city be-
tween Passport, Me, and Leadville,
Col, YOU will find the contents of
each bottle to be a counterpart of
another. This whiskey was origin
ally bottled in 1873 for the pur-
pose OF giving physicians a medici-
nal stimulant that could be pre-
scribed for use in the sick room with
full faith in its purity, and that when
prescribed the result attendant with
its medicinal use would never be
found Disappointing We have in
our possession hundreds OF testi-
monials from physicians, and shall
take pleasure in mailing to any one,
on request, a combination of opin-
ions that appear to have been written
by people not afraid to express an
opinion, and who seem to be positive
that the G.. O. TAYLOR Whiskies have
been of real benefit to their patients.

Old Crime unenrthed.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Nov 9.-(Special Tel
egram)-Six years ago last July at mid
night Mrs. Leonard Fritzsche was shot dead
while she slept in her home on South Hill.
The crime was one of dense mystery To-
day Mrs. Lizzie Derth of Gladstone, H.,
Leonard Fritzsche husband OF the murdered
woman, and her son Joseph, were arrested
as parties to the crime. Mrs. Derth was
at the time of the murder Miss Lizzie Hetz,
a servant in the Fritzsche family. Some time
after the crime revolver was found in
the rafters of an clubhouse with gold band
ring thrust on the muzzle. This is proved
to belong to Lizzie Hetz.
Jospeh Fritzsche, who was years old at
the time, has told the police that he saw
the girl fire the shot. The father is said
to have confessed that he helped the girl
plan the deed so that he might marry her
afterwards After the murder Fritzsche was
afraid to marry the girl and compelled her
to marry man named Derth Several weeks
afterwards a child by him was born to her.
Chief OF Police Greiner says his chain of
evidence is without flaw and the guilty
parties are as good as convicted.

YOUNG DEWEY AND REPORTERS.
His Successful Way of EIuding Jour,
nnIistic Inuuirics.

"a young man who deserves no end OF
praise for his common sense tact and del
icacy," said New York visitor to a New
Orleans reporter. "is the admirals son,
George G.. Dewey. you would have to look
a good while to find another young fellow
of 2S who would be willing to practically
efface himself under similar circumstances
know Mr. Dewey slightly and my partner
is of his particular friends, so | hap
pen to be familiar with the actual facts in
regard to the attitude he has taken.
"As soon as the news of the battle of
Manila was received and while everybody
was crazy with joy, the New York papers
sent out reporters to ascertain something
about Admiral Dewey's personal history.
Up to that time, as you will remember,
he was absolutely unknown to the public.
Well, the reporters soon discovered that he
had son in the employ of a mercantile
house in the city and ran him down in
modest lodgings half mile above the park
They broke in on him at 10 o'clock at night
and settled themselves down for splendid
long story. full OF intimate family detail
To their utter amazement the young man
declined to talk. He said rather tmidly
that he didn't think it would be proper
and from that position he wouldn't be
budged.
Then they wanted to know something
about himself, his boyhood, his college life,
his business experience, views and opinions.
Not man in ten thousand could have
resisted such an opportunity for self-ex
plotaton, but Dewey replied simply that
he had done nothing to warrant it; that
he was only a clerk and that it would not
be right to make capital out of his fathers
work. The reporters were mad as blaZes
when they left but admired him from the
bottom of their hearts. That has been
George G. Dewey's attitude ever since. I
object to being interviewed for two reasons
he said to me not long ago, first. because
am personally nobody, and, second be-
cause l might inadvertently say something
that would annoy father. All through the
big celebration he kent studiously in the
background. Young Dewey is a sterling
man and the admiral may we'll be proud OF
having such a SON.

Mail Weighing Ceases.

The weighing of outgoing mail. which has
been in progress at the postoffice for the
last thirty-four days, has been completed
and the results for the period named are as
follows:
First-class, 4759 pounds: second class,
II, 1884,; third and fourth class, 1888 1-S;
free in county, 731; government free, 800;
equipment, 21,1S3.
The grand total is 1920 pounds or
twenty-five and half tons. AS this is the
amount for thirty-four days it makes an
average of about two-thirds of a ton per
day. The equipment weighed is the pouches
used from day to day in handling the mail.
Postmaster Treynor estimates that the in
coming mail weighs more than the out
going, owing to the number of magazines
and other mail of similar character re-
ceived here and of which character very lit
tie is sent out.

STATE BOARD FOR LIBRARIES
Iowa Bibliophiles Ask for Commits
sion to Advance Interests of
Reading Public.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Nov. 9.-(Special
Telegram.) Tho tenth annual convention
of the Iowa Library association was brought
to a close this evening with an address by
DR.. George E. MacLean Of the Iowa State
University before large audience on the
subject of University Extension and Lii
brarieS."
At the business session the following Off
GERS were elected: President, w. H. John
ston, Fort Dodge; vice president, F. F.
Dawley, Cedar Rapids; secretary treasurer,
Ella NJ. McLoney, Des Moines; executive
committee, the above officers. A. p. Flem-
ing of Des Moines and Mrs. II. ]. Howe of
Marshaltown.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That a paper be drawn up
setting forth the importance and necessity
of constituting Library commission, after
the plan of Wisconsin, New York and a
dozen other states, where the plan has been
adopted and proved a most valuable aid in
the management OF our growing public Ii
braries, and that copy of such paper be
sent to the members elect OF the general
assembly with request that they lend their
aid to secure the passage OF law creating
such commission"
Such an effort with the legislature two
years ago failed. A number OF papers were
read and discussed, following the business
session, and this afternoon the visiting Ii
brarans were given a drive over the city
and shown through the Cedar Rapids pub
lie library and the Iowa Masonic library.
The selection of the place for the next an
nual meeting was left to the executive
committee.

opposed keeping Lovett on the pay roll on
the grounds that the city already has a
regular electrician on its pay roll.
There being sufficient money now in the
police fund it was ordered that all bills
not drawn on special funds and the salary
lists be paid from this fund. This means
the city employees will get cash this month
instead OF warrants.
The estimate on Wickham's sidewalk con-
tract was ordered paid, despite the oppo-
sition OF Alderman Casper, who contended
that a certain allowance for grading in front
Of lot was contrary to the contract.
Alderman Casper called the attention OF
the council to charges which had been made
in a certain newspaper that ex-Clty Attor-
ney Hazelton had received attorney fees in
connection with the citys foreclosure suits
against lots on West Broadway for special
taxes which he, it was alleged, had failed
to account for to the city. Casper demanded
that the mayor appoint an investigating
committee. The mayor named Aldermen
Atkins Casper, Johnson and the city at
torney.
The Water Works company was granted
permission to move the hydrant at Thir-
teenth street and Broadway ten feet west
to accommodate the motor companys new
company.
The council then adjourned to Monday

ALTGELD EXPLAINS AWAY DEFEAT.
Former Illinois Governor Considers
Vote in Ohio and Kentucky.

Former Illinois Governor Considcrs
Vote In Ohio and Kentucky.
SIOUX CITY. Ia. Nov. Especial } )-Ex-
Governor Atgeld OF Illinois spent today In
Sioux City and tonight lectured at the opera
house under the auspices of the local Trades
and Labor assembly Mr.. Altged was asked
to express an opinion on the recent elections
He said of course 1t is to be understood
he is more than pleased with the showing OF
the fusionists in Nebraska. SO far as South
Dakota is concerned he expresses no APP
prehension as to the situation with his
party in that state. even though 1t has
gene republican this time Mr.. Altgeld says
the fact that the republicans got a majority
at all is because the democrats and popu-
lists did not go to the polls. He says the
voting was done by the republicans in the
towns and cities and the followers Of Bryan
in the rural district did not take enough
interest in the election to go to the polls.
When asked for an expression as to the
republican majority in Ohio, MIR. Altgeld
said:
There is a great deal of meaning in the
vote in Ohio. see by the morning papers
that Nash will have a majority of over
so, 900. But the significant vote in Ohio is
that for Jones, who, without any question,
is Bryan man, and a majority of his fol-
lowers are of the same stripe. Had they
all voted for but two candidates Mclean
would have been elected. But the fact that
Jones did poll such large vote in that
state leads me to think we will be able to
capture the state next year
80 far as losing Kentucky is concerned,
l would say that it is owing to local issues
and had no connection whatever with the
national questions. Boston, ! see, has gone
against militarism, and Maryland has come
back into the fold. 1 feel quite satisfied
with the outcome of the elections from what
l now can see'
Mr.. Altgeld still maintains that it is pre-
posterous to talk of him as the running
mate of Bryan next year, although he main
tains very strongly that Bryan will be at
the head of the ticket.
