ers vote to have it done. If the farm
ers want to pay all the taxes and re-
lieve the corporations or other business
concerns from bearing a share of the
public burden, if they want to have
their homes, their farms, taxed away
from them, and be transferred from
land-owning farmers to laborers or
tenants of the state, they have the
right and the power so to do. All that
is necessary to accomplish this attrac-
tive program is to elect Tom Johnson
and put his single tax doctrine into
practise.
If the farmers of Ohio are ready to be
martyrs to the cause, and to be sacri-
feed on the altar of "Johnsonism' for
the benefit of the rest of the country
and for the world, they are generous
indeed. and for such self-sacrifice they
would be entitled to a monument; but,
if they really do not want to pay all
the taxes, and do not want to relieve
railroads and trusts of all the burden
of taxes, then they had better make
short work of Johnson's system of tax
reform,

A LIBRARY OF MAGIC BOOKS
About $4,000 Volumes in Many Lam
guages to Be Gift
(New York Times.)

Announcement was made at Column
hin University that Dr. Saram r. Eli
son has made Columbia University heir
to his collection of books on magic arts,
which is said to be the largest and most
complete collection of it's kind in TINS
country, and comprises about 12'Ooo
Volumes Some idea of it's value may
he gained when il is learned that DR..
Ellison. refused an offer of $4,000 from
Magician Kellar for its possession.
There are books in English, French,
German, Spanish, Chinese Japanese,
Italian and Arabic. The English books
are largely written by famous mag1-
clans. and some of them are in manu-
script. A few of these date from the
early part of the last century. There
are books on card tricks and gambling,
spiritualism, the occult, Illusions, nat
ural magic, hypnotism, ventriloquism,
and. in fact. on nearly everything
which can entertain an audience in
magic way Aside from these valuable
works is a scrapbook collection of mag
azine articles. These are bound in fif~
teen VOLUMES, anu NpNNi pic'
the entire field of magic.
Manyt ricks are explained by profess
SIGNALS in these books which are not
included in regular books on the art
These scrapbooks in themselves COM
prise an exceedingly valuable collection.
Another set of scrapbooks includes no.
tees of the various magical perform
ances given in past years, card letter
heads, write ups and press notices.
To the collection of reading matter
has been added many photograp hs of
the most famous magicians and about
sixty conjurers wands. mostly old and
battered. The entire library has been
catalogued by DR.. Ellison himself, SO
that there is no subject he can not inn
mediately find. The cataloguing re-
quired enormous patience and occupied
many months. II is a curious fact that
owner of the collection is in no sense
an operating magician, but has simply
himself with a clever knowl
edge of sleight of hand, together with
a thorough acquaintance with the the

BIC FOOTBALL
CAME SATURDAY
NOrmaIs Will Meet Pullman High
School for Champion.
ship Game

The Lewiston Normal and the Pull
man high school football teams meet
on the gridiron, Saturday, November
a. and as neither team has been de-
fcated by an interscholastic team, an
interesting game is looked forward to
in fact it will practically decide the
Northwestern Interscholastic cham
pionship.
Should Pullman win, the honors
would go to neither team, as she has
vet to defeat Spokane and the Cheney
Normal. On the other hand if the Nor
NAL boys win, they will have close
hold on the championship, having beat
en- all the high school teams but the
Cheney team, which team was defeated
by Spokane with a score of II to D.
The Lewiston Normal trimmed Spo-
kane down to the tune of II to in
eighteen minutes Of play, and so fierce
was their defensive play, that the Spo-
kane boys were able to make but one
first down. Cheney, however is getting
in new players and an extra coach and
il is expected that they will put up
great game here next Thanksgiving
The Lewiston Normal boys with their
eyes on the Northwestern champion
ship, are getting out to practice early
and are working hard till dark. Many
new plays have been introduced, and
the team will spring few surprises
on Pullman.
Bashor and Stephens are putting up
great game at tackle, and they Will
frequently be interchanged with the
half backs. 1t was this style of play
that proved too much for the giants OF
i Genesee.
! The game Saturday is played partly
to make up deficit incurred on the
Spokane game, and should receive the
/ liberal patronage of the people
Through the kindness of Mr.. Harry
Kettenbach, the Athletic park is tend
! cred the Normal team free.
The game win be called for O'Clock
sharp There will be no extra charge

The death rate Of infants in Chicago
has decreased over 60 per cent since
1891. during which year there were
8208 deaths Of infants under one year
Of age In 1902 there were 5l44 in.
FAINT deaths. The statements are made
in the weekly bulletin of the Health
Department. Speaking of the causes
Favorable to prevetion Of infant moral
ity, the bulletin says: "An improv.
cd milk supply, the anti-toxin treat-
ment of diphtheria and other casues
often cited TO account for the de-
crease Of infant morality are equally
inadequate and the department is
disposed to attach more Importance
to the education of mothers in the
hygiene of the young. The efforts of
women's clubs and similar organiza-
tions in this education have been
steadily growing during all this
period Of decreasing infant morality,
and it is believed this il the principal
factor in giving the baby better
chance for life.

A Bachelor, Honeymoon.

"A Bachelors Honeymoon" which
will be interpreted by the Clement
Keefer Company, Tuesday night,
October 20, is Ierhaps the best farce
comedy ever written. 1t has been
done by only the best companies and
in the large theatrical centers. The
Clement -Keefer Company which has
no superior as travelling organiza-
tion pay high royalty for the play.
The management requests those who
do not enjoy a good laugh to remain
away. The play is credited with 1865
laughs. The characters are all finely
drawn and true TO life, which places
this play far above the ordinary
farce 1t las sufficient logical plot to
furnish legitimate surprises and il

Reports from various sections Of the
country, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, indicate that many railroads,
for economical causes, will lay off
thousands Of workmen. The sudden
desire for Ietrenchment, coming as it
does from many systems. would seem
to indicate a preconcerted plan. 1t
was announced as n step toward en-
trenchment and in u measure to re-
coup losses from the flood, the Erie
Railroad officials have decided to cut
down their force. Many men are to
be discharged from the repair shops
and from the maintenance of way
corps The Southern Pacific rail
road is to follow the example of the
