Month

There are other fairs but none can
eclipse the one to be held by the Lewis
ton Interstate Association. Every detail
for successful show is being worked
tempted i'll this section. We give below
a few of the new features added this
week.
President George Fletcher went over
to attend the exhibition at Spokane and
while there succeeded i'll interesting the
owners of the best horses there to come
to Lewiston. He also secured the ablest
and tairest man in the northwest to Judge
the races.
Mr.. Robert Leighton, who will act as
judge of the racing eventsis resident of
Vancouver, British Columbia. He is the
gentleman who is giving such eminent
satisfaction at Spokane. and whose re-
cord previously Is faultless. SO that
horsemen know that justice and inn
partiality will rule all events where he
presides and many will come on this ac-
count alone.
The celebrated string of racers owned
by Dan McGinn will be here. Orator,
who won the Spokane derby is among
them. Hon. Frank Higgins of Missoula,

Only a Boy.

A number of boys, some of them men
in size, find pleasure in entering gardens
and helping themselves to grapes and
other fruits. While such acts are part
of the life of boy. and he intends no
wrong, and his whole nature revolts at
the word thief yet these acts are class
ed as theft. Go to the homes of these
same boys, and one will find fruit suf-
ficient to fill up hundred boys. But it
does not taste nearly so good as that of
some neighbor, whom they delight to
annoy because he is irritable and gives
chase when they come within 500 feet of
his choice pear trees.
A boy who will sit down and declare
he is suffering with back ache or head
ache, when asked to carry in gallon
pail Of water. is the same lad who will
pay nocturnal visits to melon patch and
load up with a 40 pound melon and out
run farmer and his bull dog in three
eight mile dash for safety. 1t is not the
price of the melon nor the viciousness or
depravity Of his nature that leads to these
acts. He is only a boy--boy full of life
with desire to have good time while
he is young.
In after years the same boy will occupy
honored places in the worlds history and
as the light grows dim in life's fickering
flame he will turn back fond memory's
pages and smile when he recounts the
little melon, peach and apple escapades
of his boyhood days. Remember, you
were boy once.

CANTON, Sept. IS.-Tenderly and rev.
erently those who had known William
Mckinley best today received his mar
tyred body into their arms. They had
forgotten the illustrious caree, of the
OF the statesman in the loss of a great per-
sonal friend who had grown dearer to
them with the passing of years They
had hardly noticed the president of the
United States or his cabinet or generals
and admirals in their resplendenl uni
forms. The flag draoed casket which
contained the body of their friend and
fellow -townsman held all their thoughts
Sad as was the procession which bore
the body to the courthouse, where it Law
in state, it could not compare with the
infinite sadness of that endless double
line of broken hearted people who
streamed steadily through the dimly
lighted corridors of the building from
the time the coffin was opened until it
was taken home to the sorrowing widow
at nightfall. When the body was taken
away thousands were still in line.
Throughout the afternoon the human
tide tressed steadily forward toward the
bier. Four abreast in double line with
out moments halt the people hurried
by the casket and then, with tear stained
faces, passed out ofthe darkened chamber.
All Hho came had some recollection of
personal relation with the man living
there cold in death. As the people hui
ried by they gave expression to sup
pressed exclamations of anguish at the
pinched face lying in the coffin It was
no, the face they had known so we'll and
almost without exception the people
turned awsy regretful that they had not
kept in their minds that picture of manly
vigor which they knew so we'll. Many
Of his nearest friends refrained from look.
ing upon his face, preferrii g to preserve
the memory of him as in life.
Funeral services will take place to NOR
row al 1880 p. nj. at the First M. F.
church of which the martyred president
was member and trustee. They will
be brief by the expressed wish Of the
family.
the abundance and beauty, of the
floral tributes which are arriving surpass
belief. Flowers are coming literally by
the ton.
The facilities of the little city of Canton
are totally inadequate to the care Of the
thousands who are here. much less for
the thousands who are on the way. The
local committee is doing everything in
its power to provide food and shelter,
but tonight thousands are walking the
streets.

The teachers Of the Lewiston pnblc

Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon
at 23o. The pupils accompanied by

The Divorce Mill.

After several weeks idleness the mills
Of divorce are again in operation. No
new machinery. was added but the old
machinery was put in first class shape.
This was necessity as the orders OH file
were large and the future gives evidence
of steady employment.
The first order sent in was turned out
in first-class shape and without delay.
Dora Geiger became everlastingly tired
of Emil Geiger, whom she claimed was
cruel beyond human endurance. Now
she is free and ready to find peace and
fountain Of youth in any place in the
wide world.
Then the Bushes were shaken by the
wind storms SO frequent upon life's tenn
pestuous sea. During one of these gales
Howard was blown beyond the horizon.
At least Viola Bush, who was in the boat
at the time, says she cannot find him,
and that the life line which binds them
is painful and she desires to have it
severed that she may row to shore where
there is happiness and safety.
]. II. Scott and Lille Scott were also
patrons of the mill last week, and were
seemingly we'll satisfied with the work
done for them.
There are five other orders in the mill
each full of knots. But the orders will
be filled in work man like manner with
the material furnished.

It Is said that this was the last seen or heard of Murphy At one time an attempt was made to locate him and failing, an attempt was made to prove his death at the hands of these two young men, but owing to the high standing of the young men in the community ao steps were taken beyond an investi- gation. The officers will now en- deavor to learn whether Murphy is let alive.

Crops and Weather.

Decidedly lower temperatures with generally light rain unevenly distributed throughout the state, were the characteristic features of the weather during the week ending September 25.

The rains were of benefit to Irish potatoes and other root crops in the localities where it fell. Cotton picking con- tinues to progress rapidly. In some localities it is about all opened and in a few localities will all be gath cred the first picking The yield will be light, in many places lighter than was anticipated Corn has all matured and the greater portion of it has been cut and stacked in the fields.

Appeal to the Baptists.

HUH. Jas. I. Eagle, cnalrman OI the state mission board of the Ar kansas Baptists, has issued the fol lowing urgent appeal to the Bap- lists of the state:
 My Dear Brethren-You are aware of the fact that we have re- gently sustained serious blow in the loss by one of our general mis- sionaries of his wife, and in the fur ther fact that Dr. A. J. Barton, our corresponding secretary, who was leading our forces in the mission work, has been forced to lay down his work and give his immediate at tention to his wife, whose health is exceedingly precarious. This leaves our forces partially without leader ship, and at the instance of the ex- ecutive committee of the state mis- sion board 1 address this letter, ask ing that you assist us all you can in seeking to repair the losses which we are thus sustaining, by carrying this matter and the demands of our cause, before your congregation at an early date and securing as large a contribution thereto as possible, and remitting the same to Dr. J. H Kitchens, Jr., our treasurer, at Jonesboro, Ark. We are behind with our missionaries. They need their money. Their work will be hindered if we cannot pay them what we owe them. The brethren who were leading in this work were doing so as our servants and as the stewards and servants of the Lord we should industriously, prayerfully and with our whole hearts seek to see that his interests will not be neglected and that his cause shall not suffer loss. Will you not engaged with your en- tire congregation in prayer for di- vine guidance of his people and that he, through the Holy Spirit, will lead us in our struggles to hon or his name and for the salvation of the lost. May we not pray that he will keep us from doing wrong and enable us to go to the convention free of debt and with messages of great joy because of his blessings upon our workers and of his mani fest presence with his people? We beg you in Christ's name to aid us and aid us speedily. But two months of our convention year remain, and with that time we will have to raise about $3,500 that we may go there free of debt. During the same pe- riod last year we raised about $2,- 700. We will have to increase our contributions, as we have largely in- creased in our working force, and the Lord has so largely increased the glorious results, which will be reported at that meeting. There has never been year so fruitful as the present one promises to be. Hoping that you will cheer us by speedy and full response to our requests, l am your brother in Christ, Jas. P. Eagle, Chairman Roard
