COW BOY SMITH
 WON BY A SCRATCH


 A very poor house witnessed the ten mile walking race Tuesday night Of Cow Boy Smith of Denver against ten local athletes, the professional winning over the amateurs by mere scratch, but then he probably wanted to make the home boys feel good, though several of the last entries made things decidedly interesting for the crack walker from the far west.
 The 10 miles were made in hour, 8 minutes and 33 seconds being walked in a circle, whose circumference was l-36 of mile, upon the opera house stage.
 Two preliminary bouts were pulled off between young pugilists and the race started at 9:15 p. m- George Allen and W. B. Egan were judges Charles Brasch, official time keeper, George Sexton and Ira Erwin, score keepers.
 The following are the scores of the local athletes, showing the time in which each walked mile

ROCK ISLAND MAY
 MAKE SECOND SURVEY

While nothing new has been given out recently by the officials of the Rock Islands system regarding the building of the line from Belle to West Plains and on to Newport, it may be interesting to know of the other branch lines contemplated by that rapidly growing system in this section says the St. James (Mo.,) Journal.
 When the survey was made of the Belle branch last month, the southern connection to Newport was made at Jacksonport, Ark, on the White and Black River Valley Railroad. This road is Rock Island railroad through the purchase of the Choctaw line, which owned this branch Jackson port is the northern terminus of this line, which extends sixty miles north from Brinkley.
 It is now reported that new survey is to be made of this branch line north from Jacksonport. Instead of going in northwestern direction up Straw berry creek, as Engineer Ramsdell did, the new survey will continue up Black river to Black Rock and then in the direction of Doniphan and Poplar Bluff. It is thought that the survey will be continued northward to St. Louis.
 Should the Rock Island conclude to build this last named line there will be no need of constructing the Belle branch. For some time it has been known that the Rock Island intended making survey east of here with a view of comparing the line with the route from Belle to Newport and se- lecting the one most suitable and feas- ible.

SOFT TRACK CAUSED WRECK.

An extra south bound freight in charge of Conductor R. A. Stinson, was wrecked in the local yards on the new passing track Wednesday morn ing at l:15 o'clock Engineer Tom Bradley was hurt by jumping, injur- ing one leg and body.
 The track had been approved the previous afternoon by T. Glavins, roadmaster, but proved soft and would not hold the weight of the heavy freight engine, which toppled over and carried one car with it part of the way down the dump.
 The fire alarm was turned in by mistake, Night Watchman Huffman thinking it was fire.

Father McGrady is a man of com

is worker in the cause of humanity

not of those who seek to save souls

He is not allied to that orthodoxy
which teaches that the workingman's
road to heaven is by way of an indus

life study of the social and indus

"A Voice From England" "Unac-

SOCIALISM
and CAPITAL.
The Theme of Father McGradys Lee
ture Tuesday Night.
BY the Perfect Orator-lmpossibIe
Not to Have Been Impressed by
the Magnificent Language and
ForcefuI Logic of the Speaker.

A well filled auditorium welcomed
Father Thomas McGrady in Kalispell
and those unfortunate ones who neg
lected to hear him, have missed more
than they imagine and will always
have a regret coming.
Father McGrady is from Belleville,
KY, and as he puts it, proud of be-
ing native of the land of fair wo-
men, fast horses and good whisky
He at once endeared himself to his
audience at the expense of a joke or
two on himself, and with a few pre-
liminaries embarked in a glowing
flood of oratory which carried his
hearers with him breathlessly and
unaware of the flight of time. His
lecture was grand, his word painting
vivid, creul, enhancing; his perora-
ton was magnificent.
1t is not the purpose of, this article
to even attempt a quotation from his
speech, of nearly two hours, which
seemed more or less as the interest
conferred and he carried his auditors
back to the best days of Nineveh and
Babylon, on to the stone age, gradu-
ally bringing them through the dim
vistas of the past up to the present
time.
Social anarchy was his conception
of the present period and it was So
cial anarchy in the extreme which
caused the downfall and destruction
of those ancient governments which
fiourished 5000 or more years ago.
History was invoked to prove that
at the fall of Nineveh and Babylon,
Greece. Venice, Rome, a small per
centage of the population owned all
the wealth of the country; the people
were in misery, enslaved and starved
to death. The fall always follows
these conditions, and in the Spain of
today events. are tending toward the
end predicted by the fate of all the
other great rulers, where the mass
OF the common people are impover
ished, enslaved and starved to death.

sion, the bell did not ring at Philadel-
phia on July 4, 1875, after the pass
age of the Declaration of Independ-

pendence was that it called the colo
nists to public meeting at the state
house on July 8, 1875, at which the
declaration of independence was first
proclaimed.
If Liberty Bell comes to st. Louis
it will be the sixth journey which
the bell has taken. The bells first
journey was from Philadelphia to
Allentown in 1777, to save it from
falling into the hands of the British,
when the Americans evacuated Phila-
delphia. The other four journeys of
the bell have been to American ex.
positions: To New Orleans. on the

to social anarchy: as we'll as the gem
ius of ages to the environment. Draw
a picture of a new married couple,
patrician by birth and ancestry of
several generations; they are brought
up surrounded by everything that
makes life beautiful; educated, re-
fined, they have lofty ideals, thoughts
and aspirations. Amidst these ideal
surroundings a child is born; upon
it's germ cells are impressed good
morals, lofty sentiments, luxury en-
compasses its growth, and to the
world is given one who makes mil
lions think, is prince among the
people.
Turn now to the other side; a
howell, protected neither from sun nor
rain, no furniture, no carpet, no COM
forts, peopled by half starved beings,
wholly starved at times, misery, vice,
immortality enshrouds. A child is
born in the midst of these corrupt
ing influences, no marriage rite per-
haps binds the miserable parents
That child has impressed upon it's
germ cells vice, immortality, want,
suffering, and grows UP to be an orna-
ment to the society in which it was
created, the lowest of the low, spends
many of its years in Jail, dies per-
haps on the scaffold. Can it be won
dered at then that vice begets vice
descendant of this alone might pos
sibly be an even more vicious crimi-
nal. Criminology proves that the
children of criminals inherit their
tendencies, the environment is every
thing. The jails would be d--o~ted
peace officers, militia, polico~~el, out
of job if there were no such Tester
ing environments, and in a few gen
erations vice, crime, would be I'M
known.
The pioneers of progress have al
ways been inundated for their dar-
ing, only to be unearthed and ele-
waited amongst the gods by succeed
ing generations from the time pre-
historic man entered the stone age.
Thus along down tie centuries to the
iron age and today the age of steel
and electricity and steam have only
been acknowledged after the martyr
dom of the disciples of the new cult.
All great movements of a revolu-
tionary character must be made
through the people, the great mass
of whom populate the world for the
benefit of the infinitessimal few who
are the capitalists. Such movements
are necessarily slow. but like the
mills of the gods they grind exceed
ingly fine. Capital cannot do with
out labor, but labor can do without
capital. because capital is stored la

woman desert his avocation, the capt.

There is qualification to the morbid

Persons who do not know ask with

learn that it came, not in fire or
battle, but from the impact of its
own clapper on July 8, 1885, while
