Women Opposed to Socialism.

Frankfort, Oct. 24.-Delegatee from
twenty-five workmen societies, repre-
senting an aggregate membership of
100000 men, are here for the congress
which begins tomorrow and which
has for its avowed object the consol-
idation of thhe interests Of working
men who are not socialists. The kais-
er's government has somewhat over
reached itself in striving for the sue
cess Of the congress, as its activity
in the matter has served to increase
the suspicious of the masses against
workmen's unions supported by the
state.

PEACHES.

Dwarf Japanese-This is the earliest
of all Peaches, maturing in about
eight weeks from the time of bloom
ing. 1t is a dwarf-growing, very
stocky variety from Japan, bearing
when three or four feet high; lit
tie tree, one year planted matured
twenty-four fine specimens. The
blooming season is late, making ii
free from damage by frosts. Fruit
large, beautiful crimson and yellow
heavily overlaid with red. The flesh
is rich, juicy and of most excellent
quality and of blood-red color. 1t
is the most fragrant of all Peaches
a single specimen being enough to
perfume a whole room. It requires
so little room that it may be grown
on the lawn or in any nook aid
corner which would not accommo-
date a larger variety. 1t is a per-
feet gem of a fruit.
Champion-Fruit very large, ofen 10
inches in circumference. Flavor
most delicious, juicy, sweet and
rich, surprising most other varie-
ties. Color, a beautiful creamy
white, with a bright red cheek, most
strikingly handsome in appearance.
It's season Of ripening is medium
early. 1t is the largest, finest and
most satisfactory standard sort
grown. We have an orchard of 800
fruit trees of this variety. 1t has
proved to be the most valuable mar
ket sort. Our fruit sold last season
at 4c each in quantity at wholesale.
These peach trees are budded by
Mr.. Miller of Milton.

jured Man.
jured Man.

Details of profound mystery
which has enveloped the town of Mil
ton and the inhabitants along the
south fork of the river and which may
involve the death of a man when fin
ally cleared up was brought to Walla
Walla today by Marion Dorothy, a
prominent farmer residing on the
river.
Thursday afternoon while drawing
water from the Walla Walla river a
Mrs. Boyer of Milton discovered
small whisky flask floating in an eddy
of the stream and with stick fished
it out On the inside of the securely
corked flask was a note signed by
Max Moberly appealing for help. AS
Mr.. Dorothy remembered the note
read. "Crippled and broken. Send
relief Immediately, 10 miles above
Milton" On the other side was writ
ten Notify Mrs. Moberly at Yakima"
The note was dated October 81.
Mrs Boyer was exercised at the
contents of the flask and showed the
note to a son. Constable Dykes was
notified and he in company with Mr..
Dorothy yesterday made a thorough
search of the Walla Walla at the point
Indicated and clear to Table rock
several miles above the Roberts ranch
Without finding any clue Of the sup
posed injured man.
Another party made search of the
river in the vicinity of the Elbow four
miles above the Roberts ranch, with
out any results.
In the meantime a telephone mes
sage to Mrs. Moberly at Yakima de-
veloped the fact that such lady re-
sided there and yesterday afternoon
an inquiry came to Milton asking the
result of the search. Further than
this Mr.. Dorothy said no clue Of the
man supposed to be lying injured
along the banks of the stream had
been found.
at is possible, of course, that the
whole matter is big hoax" Mr.. Dor
othy said this morning in discussing
the affair. The bottle in it's journey
down stream would have had to pass
through a big drive of cord wood,
which is being sent down the stream
this week and that is hardly possible.
It may be that the man is lying in
jured somewhere along the stream and
that we missed him in our search.
He might have attempted to make
the valley from some of the lumber
mills or logging camps up on the
mountains by cutting across and been
injured in some way. If that is the
case he is probably dead by this time
as the nights have been cold and from
the date on the note he has been ly-
ing out for three days and nights, pos
sibly without food. Another peculiar
fact is that the writing was smooth
and neat, which would have hardly
been possible had a man been badly
injured and suffering much. A posse
will explore the south side of the
stream tomorrow in an endeavor to
clear up the mystery which is just at
present the all absorbing topic along
the river"

in many a day. Not that the peo,

the moral effect produced BY the
