LOOKING at Mrs. Booth, she stood the
platform of the Peoples Church Monday night. a
small, dark-eyed woman, clad very simply in the
navy and white which is symbolic of the Volun-
teer movement, one could hardly say that her main
attraction lay in her face, for there far more
beautiful women. Nor was it the eloquence of
skilled oratory which held the large audience spell
bound for two hours Maud Ballington Booth is an
eloquent speaker orator, but more than that she
is true woman one whose possession of what the
poet calls das ewig weibiche constitutes her chief
charm and makes the term little mother peculiarly

grown-up boys scattered throughout every state of

Booths reply to all who declare that the convict has
lost his citizenship and is therefore not entitled to

principle she has established Volunteer Leagues
in most of largest prisons, sort of preparatory
course as it were, for the home life and the home
love, which awaits every released prisoner at the
Hope Halls and Hope Farm springing up all over
the country.
"You may have heard Of the Volunteer League,

Jones is convinced, and we believe rightly, that

in which these suggestions readily find Judgment.
The rapidity with which any successful crime as
against property is followed by others, must be
obvious to every intelligent man, for it is Of most
constant recurrence. Of the Omaha case Mr. Jones
says:
No sooner this crime advertised in glaring
headlines by papers than other criminals in
other parts of the country attempted the thing
The apparent success of these undertakings has
caused them to take deep root and bear fruit

NEARLY 100000 ACRES.

Major Mclaughlin, inspector
of the interior department, is
trying to close negotiations with
the Fort Totten Indians for the
cession of their unalloted lands.
Heretofore these negotiations
have been made by com mission
ers appointed by special act of
congress, but last winter Senator
Hansbrough secured the adoption
ola provision authorizing the sec
retary of the interior to do the
work through an Indian inspector.
1t is believed the Indians will
agree to ccde their surplus land
at a reasonable price, as congress
would not be likely to ratify the
agreement if the valuation was
considered too high. There are
some $4,000 acres of surplus
lands on their reservation.
II congress ratifies the agree
ment the lands will doubtless he
open next spring and there will
be great rush.

AT CENTRALIA, WASH,
. SATURDAY, OCT. 1eru.

The old iisha bitants of Steele
County will remember Auditor
Charles G. Huntley, who held
the position of Auditor of Steele
county for part of one term and
was elected to that position in
1888, the only democrat elected
that year.
We clip the following from the
Tacoma, WASH, Daily Ledger:
Centralia, Wash, Oct. 19-City
Treasurer Huntley died at his
home here at 5:35 o'clock this
afternoon. From 5 a. nj. of Oct.
II Mr.. Huntley has lain in a
stupor and without nourishment
of any kind. Thetwo physicians
who were called gave no hope
from the start and the public has
waited under painful tension for
the unavoidable end.
Charles G. Huntley was born
in Holland Patent, N, Y, Dec.
II, 1S47. He later lived in Mich.
and in Chicago and in 1869 be-
gan railroading in the general
Offices of the North Missouri.
Later he was engaged with the
Michigan Central, Wabash g.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
roads, aud during this period
made the acquaintance of men
like Sir William Van Horne, Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy, the elder
Charlton and others since pro-
-linent in the railroad world.
In 1885 he quit railroading after
a long illness and went to Steele
county, Dakota. In 1887 he was
appointed auditor ofStceIe county
and in 1888 was elected by the
people, the only Democrat elect
ed in that overwhelming Repub-
lican county. In 1890 he remov-
ed to this city; was deputy
county treasurer in 1S93-94, and
Democratic nominee for county
treasurer III 1894, but was defeat
ed by Charles W. Maynard, the
present state treasurer. He was
the fusion state committeeman in
1890, and although not believer
in free silver, made a vigorous
campaign. He was elected city
treasurer of Centralia for six sue
cessive terms.
Mr.. Huntley leaves widow
and little daug hter. The funeral
will be held under the auspices of
the A. 0. U. W., the deceased hay

Yellow JournaIism's
inconsistency,

ITO William Mckinley was in
trusted the care ola nation great,
powerful, self-sufdcient. His
duty was to guide the great ma
chine honestly, cautiously, ac-
cording to the will of the people.
He did his duty and he died at
his post" New York Journal of
Septem Der IA, after the assas-
sination.
"He did his duty"
Then you lied, and you knew
you were lying when you said:
mckinley and the Wall street
cabinet arc ready to surrender
every particle of rational honor
and dignity"
You lied, and you knew you
were lying when you said:
THE trusts control the presi-
dent, the present com mander-in-
chief Of the army and navy"
You lied, and you knew you
were lying when you said Nc
kinley and those who controlled
him
Sought 10 create an oligarchy,
with themselves as rulers"
You led, and you knew you
were lying when you said:
"Mark Hanna, acted for Nc
Kinley, will increase the army,
and if occasion arises, use it
against the organized labor which
he so much detests.
You lied, and you knew you
were lying when you said:
"He is an obedient iellyfsh.
He has done what he has been
told to do.,'' ....
You lied, and you knew you
we're lying when you charged
against him the bascst crimes;
when you likened him to the des-
pots Of old, who had deserved
and received regicide, and when
you further infamed your pupils,
against him by picturing the per-
lis which threatened the nation,
liberty and humanity because of
the purposes and acts of William
Mckinley, president of the Unit
ed States.
And by that much-your con-
fession of lies when you melted
criminals against the man you
lied about-by that much you
are worse than Czolgosz, the pu-
pill of instrument of yourself and
those like you; for he. poor de-
luded dupc, doubtless believed
that the "crimes" of Mckinley,
related and hammered into his
brain by you and his other teach
ers, were the truth.
You lied, and you knew you
were lying when you said.
"And Mckinley, bar one girthy
Princeton person, who came to
be no more, or less, than a living
crime in brceches-is, therefore,
the most despised and hated
creature in the hemisphere. His
name is hooted; his figure burn
ed in effigy."
But you knew they were lies.
You confess them now. And
you preached those lies as the
gospel of incendiarism and anar-
chlsm. So do you convict your
self now out of your own mouth,
facing the bar Of the American
people across the murdered
corpse of William Mckinley
