canopy was built above the pulpit and bap-
tistry, with the background and the six sup
porting pillars in white dotted and festoon-
ed with delicate green sprigs and evergreen
vines. Large portraits of Revs. r. T. Ca

LOOKS OVER PROOFS
Campaign Handbook Is Sub.
mltted to Judge Parker

ESOPUS, N. Y, Sept. 3.-Josiah Ouin-,
cy. former mayor of Boston and manager

him proof sheets of the Democratic cam

proofs. Mr.. Quincy said that the com
pilation of the handbook is completed. but
the printing has been delayed The book
will consist of about 500 pages, and the
first edition will be of 10000 copies. The
committee in charge of the work consists
of Mr.. Quincy. George S. Parker and Rep
resentative Cowherd, chairman of the
Democratic congressional committee The
committee has been entrusted with all
other documentary work needed by the
national committee.
In relation to Parker's connection with
the handbook, Mr.. Quincy said he did not
want the idea to get abroad that the can
didate is exercising a censorship. al
though it is likely that revisfons will be
made as the result of his examination of
the proofs.

While the position of wheat seems

not lost faith and some of them repeat
their prediction of $3.50 wheat. The

BROTHERS GET DRUNK
AND FIGHT IN CELL
Each Claimed He Was the Mentor of
the other-Assessed $40 Each

James and Theodore Lee, strangers
in the city, yesterday pleaded guilty
of the charge Of drunkenness and were
fined SO each.
They came to the city and sought to
see the sights. Theodore. said he came
to keep James in the paths of sobriety
and James said he accompanied his
brother in order to keep him from
looking too freely upon the cup which
intoXicates.
They became mixed with some
Washington avenue whisky and landed
in the same cell at the central police
station.
All was serene for time, but soon a
fight was started because each man
claimed he was the mentor of the
other.
The disturbance continued until
Jailer Needham was able to part the
fighters and put them in separate cells.
Yesterday they were in court and in
unison pleaded guilty to the charge of
being drunk.

Odd Newspaper Names

The strangest thing about Russia's
popular paper is their curious names
Strekosa (Grasshopper), Babotchka
butterfly, Svistum CThe Whistler),
Vetr (The Wind), are some names of
popular publications. The paper which
was started in Moscow some years ago
was christened Beelzebub. Tchernil-
nitsa (The Inkbettle6 was the name
of another.
Russian popular papers have as a
rule, small calculations. Like the daily
papers, they are subject to the censor,
who stops the sale for a time or alto
gether If, in trying to be funny, any
thing offensive to the authorities is al
lowed to appear. Many papers are sub
ject to what is known as the pre-
ventive censure;;o that is, the editors
must submit everything to the authori-
ties before publication. A censor who
allows any serious governmental
hint to escape is dismissed from his
post for neglect; but this does not
prevent the editor also being punished.

mr.. dunn OPENS
AENN[PlN FIGHT
Candidatefor Governor Appears
and Tells Hearers About
Issues

Robert G. Dunn opened his campaign
in Minneapolis last night by appearing
at a meeting of the Union Veteran and
Sons League, a Republican organiza-
ton, and in an informal way discussed
the issues of the coming campaign.
He asserted that he was preparing
ammunition and later would be heard
at length regarding the matters of in
terest before the people.
Mr.. Dunn insisted that the PROPOSE
ton to increase the railroad gross
earnings tax from 3 to per cent would
be the principal plan in his platform.
although it has been omitted from the
platform. as drafted at the state Re-
publican convention.
In discussing this matter, he said:
Unfortunately, two years ago the vot-
ers of the state took little interest In
this proposition, and it was defeated.
1t is not downed and will not be. The
increase Of from 3 to 4 per cent will
swell the receipts Of the state treas
ury $650,000 a year. and 1 believe they
are abundantly able to pay this addi-
tional tax.
UNFORTUNATELY. this issue is not
made plank of the party platform.
but it is a live one, and when / am
governor of the state 1 propose to see
to it that the attention Of the legisla-
ture is called to the matter until 1t is
enacted into law.
L am in favor of the primary cleo
ton law, but not in its present FORM -
continued the candidate. Il do not be-
lieve it should be extended to state
offices until it is amended. Party or
ganiZation is. essential, and / believe
that under the present conditions there
is danger Of Generalization. A can
didate, should be the candidate of a
majority of the. voters, but under the
present system he is the candidate of
a minority
Mr.. Dunn argued for larger expendi-
lures for the reclamation of swamp
lands, spoke for good roads, and touch
ed upon the pension matter and assert
ed that in the event he was elected
governor he would see to it that the in
mates Of the soldiers home received
the full amount of their pensions or
there would be board of managers
which would carry out his policy in
accordance with the law enacted by
congress.
In discussing the state ticket recent
ly nominated by the Democrats, Mr..
Dunn paid it a high compliment.
THE Democrats held a convention a
few days ago and nominated ticket
which was a good one for the Demo-
crats,' said Mr.. Dunn. II know John
Johnson, nominated for governor. He
is a country. editor, good fellow, and
if I am to be beaten, prefer that he
should be the man to any other
Democrat in the state"
Mr.. Dunn said John Lind was "the
best thing the Democrats had on their
ticket and he had sense enough to re-
sign
He concluded his address by prophe-
sying that Roosevelt would carry the
state by majority Of from 75, 900 to
100000 and the state ticket would be
elected by majorities running from 45,-
600 to $4,000.

Mrs. Bonnie HenkIe. SiIberberg'

Bonnie w. Hinkle- Carlisle Silberberg
has brought suit for divorce from her
husband, Henry Silberberg, alias j. J..
Carlisle, alias ]. ]. Debrolls and few
other names.
Silberberg is an adventurer, and last
fall married Miss Hinkle in st. Paul.
FORT a time he cut swath in Minneap-
oils as the head of an institution for the
teaching of the occult.
He took his departure in hurry and
one Of his dupes secured his indict-
ment and he was traced to Washing
ton, where he was found stopping at
one of the high priced \hotels with his
wife
Sheriff Dreger went to the capitol
and brought him lack.
His wife appeared to be loyal to
him and sought to secure the neces-
sary bail, which was set at high
figure This could not be obtained, and
after he had fingered in the county
Jail for some weeks the bail was re-
duced to $1,000, which his brother, of
Denver, furnished in cash.
Since then Silberberg has not been
seen In Minneapolis, although he got
into trouble in Denver through his eff
forts to make little money in man
ner which is not considered to be le-
Ultimate.
In an affidavit filed yesterday Mrs.
Hinkle- Carlisle Silberberg asserts she
is unaware of the whereabouts of her
husband and therefore a default di-
vorce suit is entered. 1t is unlikely
Carlisle. or Silberberg, will appear in
person, for If he does he will be
guest of the sheriff, as his bail has
been declareI forfeited.
He scored a reduction of bail on the
ground that he was a victim of tubercu-
losis, and confinement would shatter his
constitution. He has been doing quite

where he had numerous fake" hem

He claimed to be a nephew of John
