Youth from a Valley Town

The young ladies of the Capital city
are undoubtedly the most popular ia the

ANY one acquainted with the young la

as nowhere are there TO be found a more
beautiful or intelligent class of young
people,
Another reason which makes them
greatly in demand 10 the fact that they
are not easily won.
No class of young men in the state are

charms Of Salem girls as the swains who
hail from up the valley. A young at

INSULT TO AML...t..t>s FLAG.
Venezuelan Government Apologies

Venezuelan Government Apologies
for Act Of Discourtesy.
Port OF Spain, Island Of Trinidad,
Sept. 26.-The Venezuelan govern
ment has been compelled to apologize
to the United States and to formally
salute the United States flag as
punishment for the unfriendly action
OF the Venezuelan gunboat Restaura-
COR in flying the Stars and Stripes
while bombarding the city of Ciudad
Bolivar.
The Restaurador incident was han
died by Herbert w, Bowen, United
States minister to Venezuela, most
successfully. His negotiations were
brief and to the point and he did not
wait to consult with his government
in the matter. He took firm and
determined stand and secured signal
and noted reparation from Venezuela
In a manner that left no animosity
against the United States. In Caracas
1t was at first believed the Restaura-
dor had saluted the American flag as
a result OF influence brought to bear
by the American ships of war, where
as the apology was brought about by
Bowen from Caracas. He acted quick
ly in order that the Restaurador
should not leave the port before repa-
ration was obtained.

FIFTY BUILDINGS BURNED.
Stockton Sustalns Half Million Dollar


Stockton Sustalns Half Million Dollar
Loss. With but Little Insurance.
Stockton, CAL, Sept 29.-One of the
largest fires in the history of Stock
ton started here shortly after o'clock
last evening in the Agricultural pa
vilion. That structure, together with
all it's contents, and two residence
blocks were burned to the ground.
Approximate loss is 100000, less than
half insured.
The fire started through a plumber
hunting for leak in gas main in the
pavilion. The contact of the gas with
lighted candle caused an explosion,
and in a few minutes the building
was in flames. A slight breeze carried
the flames clear through two blocks
south Of the pavilion and west of San
Joaquin street. The three blocks to
the east Of San Joaquin suffered great
ly.
The district fair had closed Saturday
night and all the exhibits were still
In the pavilion. The loss to the ex-
hibitors was very heavy.
The Union Iron works had on exhi.
billion models Of the cruisers San
Francisco and Charleston. They were
destroyed. There was $4,000 insur.
ance on them. Many people have been
left homeless and destitute. Fifty
houses were burned.

MORE DAMAGE TO CORN.
Excessive Rainfall Proves Very Fa-
vorable for Fall Plowjno,


Washington, Oct. 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows: While the
excessive rains interrupted farm
work and delayed the maturing of late
crops, they proved favorable for ger
mination of fall sown grain and placed
the soil in fine condition for blowing
and seeding.
No damage resulted from frosts.
which were confined to the central
and northern Rocky mountain dis
tricts and extreme north Pacific re-
gions. The general conditions on the
Pacific coast were favorable, al
though rain is needed in eastern Ore
gon.
The weather has been very unfavor-
able for maturing late corn in the CEN
trail valleys and lake region, especially
over the northern portion of these dis
tricts, and the reports indicate that
corn in shock has been considerably
damaged by dampness and mold over
wide area and that much of the crop
In the upper lake region and Missouri
valley will not be marketable.

Stocks Make Recovery.

New York, Oct. 1.-The stock mar
ket, which closed Monday utterly de-
moralized as result of stringent
monetary conditions and other unfa-
vorable consequences. made a sensa-
tional recovery yesterday. The chief
cause for the complete reversal was
the action of Secretary Shaw in re-
moving the restraint on bank re-
serves and persistent reports from va
rious quarters that the coal strike had
at last reached the point where nego.
t1ations for settlement were under
way. For this last rumor there ap-
pearedslittle or no foundation, accord
ing to the individual and collective
statements of the leading operators
made after the regular weekly meet

Many Responses to Call for Confer

Detroit, Oct. l.. ..e telegraphic in
vitations sent out ny Mayor William
G. Maybury to governors of a number
of states and the mayors of the prin-
cipal cities in the east, middle west
and northwest, asking them to send
tional conference on the coal strike,
have met with great number of re-
sponses and the proposed conference
bids fair to be tremendous gather
ing. The mayors Office kept open
late last night to receive kilograms
in answer to those calling for a re-
ply. A great majority of the messages
received expressed hearty sympathy
with the conference and promised to
send delegates.
In answer to the message from
Mayor Seth Low of New York, asking
for further particulars, Mayor May
bury sent the following telegram:
Conference is expected to take
coal situation as it exists at date Of
meeting. Then will discuss best and
most practicable means Of obtaining
that to which we are fairly entitled,
namely, coal supply. The plan to be
pursued to enforce our demand must
be governed by the wisdom of the
conference and should be such plan as
will be most effectively and promptly
applied. Representation from the
metropolitan city of the country
would be most helpful"

home of his relative, Marshall
Smith in West Extra, has so far re-
covered as to be able to leave for
his home last Friday. His con-
stituents during his prolonged and
unavoidable stay conferred upon
him the honor of denomination
for the judge-shiP.
The democrat" of Atlantic, says,
that Delos Hunt, the only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dent Hunt, was found
dead last Thursday about two miles
west of Menlo. He had been with
his parents to the Odd Fellows
meeting in Des Moines, and on their
return stopped at Stuart and took
supper; after supper the parents
boarded the train for their home
sSnd did not see him again until
filter Mr.. Hunt had been notified
lffSr4day morning that the son had
afbeen found by the section men,
siead and terribly mangled lying
(by che railroad track. The remains
were buried in the Wiota cemetery.
lEhe cause of his death is mystery,
the parents say he had consider
able money on his person when he
left Des Moines, but none was
found on the body. There are
different theories advanced as to
the cause of death, one being that
he was slugged, robbed and then
pushed off the train, another that
he fell asleep on the platform of the
coach and fell off; and still another
that he got off the train at Menlo
and started to walk to Casey where
he worked and was run down by a
passing train. Mr.. Hunt was
formerly resident of Extra,
running the blacksmith shop where
the w. I'll. Covalt residence now
stands, on the corner east OF the
Park hotel.
