spot where the men were congregated
than he was hit on the head with a
shovel in the hands Of Brown and rem
dered unconscious. When he came
around everything was over.
Healey said he had nothing whatever
to do with the trouble save to cry out
and act as a peacemaker when he saw
that Brown and Decker were surround
ed by crowd of excited foreigners

some trouble. The case will be resumed

ger, of New York. were among the
speakers. Senator Jones was the pre-
siding officer.
Mr.. Hearst, who was the first speaker
of the evening. devoted himself to the
trust question, which he said was the
great issue of this campaign. He de-
clared that the Republican party as
political institution is under so many
obligations to the trusts that it will
never legislate against them or even en-
force against them the laws which al
ready exist
Senator Jones, in a brief speech, said
that all differences on local matters had
been laid aside by Democrats. who are
now united in the determination to GUST
the Republican party from state and
national control.
After a set of resolutions denouncing
the Republican party for its administra-
ton of national and state affairs had
been unanimously passed Congressman
congressional committee, spoke at some
length. He was followed by former
Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Stevenson's
speech, a diversion was created by the
entrance of w. S. Devery, who received
a great ovation. After this was over
the candidate for governor. Mr.. Coler,
spoke briefly on state issues.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee Gov
ernor Budd of California, Mayor
Schmitz of San Francisco, and ex-Sena-
tor Hill were the next speakers. Mr..
Hill dealt for the most part with state
issues, reiterating his charges against
the administration of Governor Odel.
Almost every department of the state
government" he said. is dominated by
the most odious and autocratic political
machine that ever was fastened on the
people of this state.''

Long Sought for Russian Boun-
dairy Marks Discovered.

Seattle. Wash. Oct 2S.-Advices were
received from Juneau on the steamer
Dolphin that the missing Russian boun-
dairy monuments which have been SO
energetically searched for by Lieut. En-
mons for the past two seasons. had
been discovered by a prospector % the
Porcuoine district named James De
Blondeau. He is native of Marssilles,
France but has interested himself in the
Porcupine district and the modus viven-
di strip for several years. Through his
friendship with the Chilkat In1ians he
gained information which gave him a
clew to the position of the firsc nonu-
ment- From this start he followed along
and discovered several more of the old
landmarks put up years. ago by the
cars followers. The line marked by
these monuments is about five miles
inland from Pleasant camp. which is Il
miles from Klukwon. The latter is five
miles from tidewater on the Chikat
river This makes the Russian survey
line approximately 81 miles inland to
the sumnit-less than 10 marine leagues
and lust where it was expected tonbe
from the language used in the Anglo
Russian treaty of 1925 The Eainey
Hollow district is within American ter

HOG WAKES FAT ON PAINT.
Before Strange Meal He Was Lean;
Now Promises to Be Prize Beauty.

Grahamville, S. c.. Oct. 2s.-Colonel
T. Hayward Howard of this village, has
a hog which the neighborhood has been
watching intently for several days. A
week ago Colonel Howard decided to
paint the shutters of his house green.
The negro he engaged to do the job left
the paint on the back doorstep. The
vivid color of the paint led an inquisi-
tive hog to break through the fence and
put his snout into the can.
The hog is not of the razor-back
variety, but is or was just as lean and
miserable looking as hogs of that fam
lily. Not satisfied with the first licks.
his porkship pulled the whole pot OF
paint over where he could drink with
comfort. Having taken as much as pos
sible, the hog rolled in the paint, and for
a. while a green hog roamed through the
place, followed by the pursuing negroes.
The animal was finally captured, and
Colonel Howard told Uncle Stef, the
family servant, to kill him before the
paris green in the paint did. Later
Colonel Howard decided to spare the
hogs life and await developments A
week has passed. The hog not only is
alive but for the first time in its life
has taken on fat. Colonel Howard now
thinks he will enter the green hog in
The county fair.

WANT THREE OUSTED.
Board of Health Not Satisfied With
Sanitary Force.

There is considerable hunlor in the
.lxick' which the board of health de-
cided to file with the city council last
night. The board says that the sanitary
policemen have not the time to circulate
the waterworks petitions, as the city
council instructed.
Anyone who is familiar with the
amount of work which the sanitary po-
licemen do will appreciate the joke.
The board voted last night to recon
mend that some of the sanitary police
men be dismissed and their places filled
with an equal number of good men, 1t
is claimed by the officers of the board
that two or three members of the pres
ent force cannot be relied upon to carry
out the instructions of their superior
officers The board wants Mayor Park
er to remove certain men designated BY
City Physician Judd, and give their
nlaces to somebody else.
Some time ago the city board of edu-
cation was notified to put in sewer con-
nections with the vault at Grant school
house. and it is claimed that this has
not been done There is some DISPOSE
ton on the part of the board to COM
mence legal proceedings against the
hoard of education unless the sanitary
regulations are complied with.

FOR A MINSTREL SHOW.
Auditorium Minstrels". Organize and
Elect Officers.

At meeting of a number of prorni-
nent business men held at the CONNER
cial club rooms Monday evening. for
the purpose of putting forth plans for
a home talent entertainment to be given
in this city between now and the time
of the Midwinter Exposition, club TO
be known as the Auditorium Min
strels" was organized with officers as
follows: President L. M. Wood; vice
president, Lee Jones; secretary and
treasurer, James P. Lacey.
There was general discussion of the
scheme-the time the production should
be given and it's nature. Inasmuch as
the Elks already have taken steps for a
similar show, it was decided to appoint
a committee of three to meet a similar
committee from the Elks and if posi-
bic merge the interests of both bodies
in the scheme. 1t was suggested that
the business men either pool issues with
the Elks or that the event be pulled off
two NIGHTS, once for the Elks and an
other time for the Minstrel club The
committee which will confer with the
Elks is composed of C. L. Wood Lee
Jones and T. J. Anderson. 1t had been
expected that the business men would
give their show. in the Auditorium. brt
it is understood that the Elks have ar
ranged for the Grand Opera House. The
two bodies will endeavor to reach an
understanding some time this week.

WEED OUT A FEW.
Election Supervisors Disqualified IL
Topeka Voters.


At meeting of the board of election
supervisors Monday night Councilman
S. A. SWendSOn was elected chairman
of the board. He succeeds w. S. Cha
ney, formerly a member of the council.
Those members of the board present
were S. A. Swendson. w. f. Weber. E.
B. Snyder, w. A Bergundthal, and
Election Commissioner T. S. Williams.
The board listened to evidence in the
contested registration eases, and de-
cided that twelve Of the voters whose
names are on the books have no right
to vote Those who were disbarred for
the reason that they had not lived in
the ward long enough to obtain a resi-
dence were as follows: J. H. Tilton- G.
z, Flemming, w. L. Flemming. Newton
Dick, w. G. Williams. r. F. Haney, R.
M Darneh, George Woodleigh, w. d.
Faulkner, w T. Sullivan. T. Boslong.
The board also ruled out Charles
Walsh, whose father, Patrick Walsh,
testified was not yet 81 years of age.
The case of Newton Dick was some
what peculiar. 1t appears that some
one was trying to register under the
name of Newton Dick. while Newton
DICK himself had made no attempt to
register Newton Dick says he knew
that he had moved from one ward to
another within the past 80 days, and was
therefore ineligible.
The contract for supplying meals to
the election boards was let to the Ladies'
Aid society of the First Christian
church.
