To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
The Journal is all wrong again in its
criticisms of Bourke Cockran's logic, least
wise Mr.. Cochran has abundant precedents
for his method of reasoning. In the early
years of this century and for ages preced-
ing there was a large school OF d~ogmatists.
who held that the devil was the author of
salvation and that therefore he should not
be wholly lost sight OF. The argument ran
thus: II there had been no devil there
would haze been no sin. and IL no sin. no
savior. Therefore the devil is al the bot
tom OF the whole scheme. But, after all.
nobody claimed that the devil was entitled
to any special consideration on account OF
his part In the affair. but rather that he
was the more to be detested. Now. Il 10

Exposition opens oct. 2.

All preparations for the Spokane
Industrial Exposition, which opens on
the second of October are proceeding
splendidly, and the indications are the
fair and exposition this year will be
much better than ever before. This
will not only be true of the whole show,
but it will be true of almost every
separate department. The entertain
ment features from the Royal Marine
Band of Italy down to Little Nero, the
four-year-old acrobat, are of the high
est order and never before have been
equalled at the fall fruit fairs in Spo-
kane.
Last year the fruit exhibits all were
accommodated in one tent, 50x12S. This
year larger tent was set aside for
these exhibits, but it has been found
that it is far too small and that it will
be necessary to build another the same
size as the first. The fruit displays
therefore will fill two large tents, each
of which is 60x150 feet in size. An
other tent, 50x12S feet, will be filled
with garden truck, grains and grasses.
Therefore, instead of four large tents.
as last year, this time there will be
five and there are indications that they
will be crowded more than they were
year ago.
The opening day programme is quite
elaborate and will be fine. A big pa
rade will precede the opening of the
! doors. The band will lead, playing a
march written by a Spokane young
/ 1odu INo11nxrripo hn mil q
the exposition officials in carriages and
next the chief parsonage of all, Miss
Lulu Kirby of Peck, Idaho, Goddess of
! Plenty. She will be attended by two
maids of honor, who will ride with her
in the carriage upon which will be a
footman and a driver. She will also
| have two outrider escorts. Her car
riage is the same one which was pre-
| scented to President Lincoln by the
business men of New York when he
was inaugurated the second time. 1t
is the same in which he road to Ford's
theater and it is the same one in which
he was driven home after that awful
tragedy. After the Goddess will come
the fire department, civic societies, the
national guard, the Gonzaga cadets and
the United States cavalry from Fort
Wright. After these will come numer-
GUS merchants floats.
But one of the best parts of the en-
tire exposition will come on this first
day and can not well be missed if a
person wishes to enjoy something
grand. 1t is the chorus of 1000 school
boys and girls who will sing several
choruses. All remember the singing
of the 500 children last year. DR.. Her
itage again will drill them.

England Is silent.

Lonuon, Sept 24.-Charles Yerkes'

English are not asked to subscribe creates
establishment which the Daily Telegraph

Mining Notes and PersSnals.

Superintendent L. X. Armstrong of
the mining department of the Spokane
Industrial Exposition, which opens in
Spokane ON the I'd of the month, is
very enthusiastic over the splendid dis
play of minerals which will be made
this year. 1t is evident the tent which
will be given to this department Will
be crowded to its utmost capacity.
Many camps which were not repre-
scented last year will have good exhibits
this time and almost all those which
were present at former fairs will be
there with better displays this time
Among the camps which will have
prominent exhibits this year are Slo
can, Nelson, Ymir, Ainsworth, Ross
land, Boundary, East Kooteney, the
Occur d'Alenes and Central Idaho, LID

but not least, Eastern Oregon.

coo and the expenses S11,600. Besides
these receipts, however, the outstand-
ing carloads of concentrates and crude
ore bring the total output for the month
up to s57,150. The profit for the month
is thus $685. With the full 80 stamps
now running regularly the monthly
output from the mine will reach $780,
600, with a net profit of about $4,000.
I he total output this year to date has
been about $4,000 tons, which places
the mine second only to the LIE Roi in
British Columbia.
Information to hand from the diff
ferent camps in the Boundary district
indicates that by January l, 1901, there
will be over 20 steady shipping mines
in the district. About the same period
at least two, If not three, smelters
should be in active operation. The out
look for the Boundary was never SO
bright as now. The dull times that
for the past few months have worried
many are practically over. AS one af
ter another of the mines reaches the
permanent shipping stage and STOPPING
is commenced in earnest the force Is
largely increased, labor in many add
tional districts finds employment and
money is more freely circulated.
