: THE WEELLY NEWSPAPER.

The average weekly editor us.
ually has his all invested in his
newspaper property. This invest.
ment generally represents from one
to two thousand dollars. But it is
worth more to the town than five
times the amount invested in
any sother local enterprise. As
a rule, the newspaper represents
to the outside world the town it.
self. Poor paper, poor town is the
verdict. 1t is, therefore, to the
interest of every town to support
a good newspaper. Not through
local pride alone, but for practical
business reasons. A newspaper is
constantly doing ten times as much
for its town as it could ever hope
to get pay for-more than it could
charge for, if it would. The more
prosperous paper is, the more it
is able to do. Show us good
weekly paper, full live local ads,

is an important matter. 1t is
their own good that is involved
the welfare and progress of their
community. 1t may be that the
daily papers with their larger news

have over-shadowed the weeklies:
but the weeklies continue to fill a
place that the dailes can never fill.
If they keep the people of a com
munity in touch with each other
by giving them the news of their
town and county, for that, alone
they are of value and worth far
more than the dollar year that
is usually charged for them. If
they merely chronicle the progress
of the community and keep the
local pride and progressive spirit
aroused they are worth still
far more, in fact, than the town
ever spends on them. No merchant

EXAMINES RUssIA's TITLE.
Watson Continues Argument Before
Boundary Commission.

London, Sept. 25.-The presence of
several American women frightened
the proceedings Of the Alaskan bound
airy commission during the morning.
David T. Watson of Pittsburg, of coun-
sci for the American side, continued
the presentation of the American case.
Mr.. Watson devoted the morning to
an examination of Russia's title, point
ing out that everything in the Russo
British negotiations showed that Rus
sia's demand for boundary involved
the exclusive possession of all the
coast line. He contended that without
such boundary, excluding Great
Britain from the sea, the rest OF the
Russian possessions would have been
valueless.
Mr.. Watson devoted the afternoon
to contending that Russia's primary
idea was to establish barrier to pre-
vent the advance Of British trade from
the East. while Great Britain at that
time also desired barrier to secure
freedom for the operations of the Hud-
son Bay company. These purposes,
counsel claimed, would have been COM
pletely frustrated If the British had
obtained the heads of the inlets.

BOARD OF TRADE LOSES.
Appellate Court Reverses Decision Of
Missouri Tribunal.

Dubuque, a., Sept. 25.-Judge Shiras
has written the opinion for the United
States court of appeals in the case of
the Christie Grain and Stock company
ct al, appellant, VS.. the Board of Trade
of Chicago, appellee, reversing the de-
cision of the federal court of Missouri
and remanding the case to that court
with instructions to dismiss the bill at
compliments cost.
The Chicago board Of trade secured
an injunction in the lower court
against the Christie company, re-
straining it from obtaining from the
telegraph companies any Of the quota
tons furnished by the board of trade.
alleging that the quotations were pri
vate property and could not be fur
nished except upon contract. The tes-
timony developed that 5 per cent of
the transactions of the board was
gambling in margins; that by admis-
sion of the board it was, shown that it
maintained bucketshops. On this eyi-
dence the appellate court holds that
the board Of trade did not come into
court with clean hands, or for lawful
purpose, and clearly it was not the
duty of court in equity to grant any
relief.

RUSSIA GIVES WARNING.
Turkey and Bulgaria Must Repress
Disturbances.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-The Rus
sian government has issued an official
note reiterating that the attitude of
the powers in regard TO the Austro-
Russian reform scheme for Macedonia
is unchanged and that, consequently.
neither Turkey nor Bulgaria can ex-
pect support from any quarter Ii the
event of open or secret resistance to
that scheme.
The government, after pointing out
that the suggested reforms at the out
set were attended with good results,
declares that the present situation is
Que to the activity Of the Macedonian
committees. who are opposed to the
projected reforms, and continues:
On view Of the thickening compli-
cations the Russian and Austrian gov
ernments have reiterated their views
in regard 10 the suppression of the
insurl ection both at Sofia and at Con-
stantinople and, acting on the sugges-
ton of Austria and Russia, all the
governments Of the powers which
signed the treaty of Berlin have in
structed their representatives to Tur-
key and Bulgaria to emphasize their
full unanimity of the Austro-Russian
work of pacifying the Balkans so as
to remove all misconceptions or posi-

Gus enterprises. These representa-
tives have been instructed to make a
declaration to the governments OF Tur-
key and Bulgaria as follows:
"The present state Of affairs IN the
Turkish vilayets, which is due to the
criminal intentions of committees and
revolutionary bands, does not alter the
attitude OF the powers in regard to the
programme of action advanced early
in the year by the two powers most
interested. Consequently neither Tur-
key nor Bulgaria can rely on the sup
port of any power in the event of open
or secret opposition to the realization
OF this scheme.
1.-THE imperial government hopes
this new warning will convince Turkey
as well as Bulgaria of the futility of
any attempt to avoid the fulfllment
of the demands made upon them and
cause them to take all the measures
in their power for the repression OF
the disturbances in the Balkan PENN
sula, which can only have the most
serious consequences for both the OF

Washington, Sept. 25.-Mr Conger
United States minister to China, is in
constant communication with the state
department over the final details OF
the commercial treaty with China,
which is to be signed Oct. g. Nothing
has developed to indicate that the sig,
natures of Prince Ching and Mr. Con,
ger will not be attached on the day
stipulated.
Although the treaty will not be made
public until after it goes to the senate
in December it is known that the au.
thorities here consider it extremely
important and that they believe it will
mean much for the future of American
trade in the Celestial empire. In ad-
dition to the provisions for opening
ports it contains other stipulations for
trade intercourse, which, it is claimed,
make it a better treaty than that ne
gotiated with China by Great Britain.

After the shooting the other three

Sheriff Story and four deputy sher.
ifs, who are seeking the bandits, have
small hopes of capturing the robbers,
as the country on both sides of the

bered. 1t is supposed they took

river.
Shortly after the arrival Of the
Bheriff's posse one Of the outlaws was
found near the scene, badly wounded
from a charge of buckshot in the head.
He was placed on board the sherif's
special train, which returned to Port
land. The bandit said his name is
Jim Connors and that he is from Port
land, but refuses to tell the names Of
the other bandits or where they went.
The railroad company has offered

bandits. -
