rare lace. Mrs. McNab mother of
the groom, was attired in black span
gled net.
The brides table was decorated with
Cecil Bruner roses and pink tulle. Dur
ing the bridal feast several clever and
appropriate toasts were contributed
and Miss Pearl King read poem which
the brides father had composed for the
occasion. 1t was in part as follows:
TO MY DAUGHTER MAY.
Upon the Occasion of Her Marriage
September 22d, 1904.
My dearest May, my own, my best,
1t seems but yesterday (sweet thing)
Your infant lips with joy and jest
Began to lisp, and talk, and sing.
AS days and months and years sped by
Your sunny nature blest our home
And brought full happiness quite nigh,
But now dear child, you seek to roam.
AS iedglings limb their rustic nests,
Peer for a while, then fly away,
So, children leave their mothers breasts
Endear our homes, but will not stay,
Kind parents here should not complain,
For they themselves did just the same
Regardless of the elder twain,
Who thought their loss a crying shame
And now, in love, my charming May,
I give you to your own free choice
The man you've loved from day to day
Since first you heard his manly voice.
The ring, a true lover knot, and the
brides bouquet both went to Miss Nc
Nab, sister of the groom.

Remarkable
RuberOid
Roofing

Statistics prove that less than a
per cent of the roofs on which mil
lions of rolls of RuberiOd Roofing
have been applied during the past
twelve years have been painted or
coated.
This is a record of durability never
even approached by any roofing,
whether of metal or other material.
1t is a positive demonstration of
weather-prOOf, acid-proOf, water
proof, and fire-resisting qualities
such as are found in no other roofing.
This roofing is for long wear. For
temporary roofing we have cheaper
grades.

SHOW. "

According to a dispatch from Chicago
the company which has been operating
with success a wireless Geographic ser
vice between Chicago and st. Louis
proposes to establish a system to con-
meet the United States with the Phil
ippine islands, with Seattle as the main
station on the Pacific Coast.
1t is quite natural to look upon such
a project with some skepticsm, for the
fact is that wireless telegraphy is still
in the experimental stage, and aside
from some limited uses, over relati-
vely short distances, can scarcely be
ranked as a proved commercial success.
Nevertheless there have been steady
and constant improvements in the pro-
cesses; a large number OF different sys-
TENS have alreGdy been evolved, with
points of radical difference, one from
the other; and it must be conceded as
within the bounds of easy possibility
that a practical working system will
! yet emerge, which will be commercial
as we'll as a laboratory success.
1t may re that the company which
proposes to establi~h this line to the
| Philippines has already perfected such
a process. The hackers of the enter
| prise certainly appear to think so, OF
they would not furnish the money
which must be had to establish such
long distance sy TEN. Absolute skepti
cism is hardly TIE attitude to assume
towFrd such projects therefore. The
Missouri attitude is the correct one

the blossoms We're roses Of the rarest
variety.
The brides gown was of cream mes
saline satin trimmed in rose point lace,
over which fell the lace bordered brid-

Peters Not Insane.

Denver. July 22.-In brief report
submitted to Governor James H. Pea
body yesterday, the lunacy commission
appointed to examine into the sanity
of Charles Peters. one of the trio of
the Youngblood murderers, stated that
he was sane.
Peters, under the rigid examination
of the board of physicians. was unable
longer to act the part which he has
played so naturally during the past
few days. After less than an hours
ordeal he admitted that he had been
shamming, in an attempt to cheat the
gallows.
Night and day since last week.
Peters has fought the guards violently
and has raved constantly in manner
SO natural, that even the penitentiary
physicians were deceived as to his
condition and reported him to be vio-
lently insane. 1t has at times taken
six men to hold him and he has not
slept more than two hours out of
every twenty-four since he first at
tracted the attention of the guards by
screaming and tumbling about his cell
like a wild person.
After confessing his ruse to the
board Peters was taken back to his
cell. amid the jeers of his fellow con-
victs.

Russians piscredit Report.

st. Petersburg, July 23.-2:05 a. m.
There is no official Russian confir-
nation of General Kurokis report that
the Japanese have captured Kiatung.
No such place as this is laid down on
available Russian maps, the nearest
approach to 1t being Kantziatum,
which is only twelve miles from Lao
Yang. on the Saimatsza road.
If the Japaneses column which Cen
eral Herschelmann was opposing July
18th and 18th has continued to ad-
vance to this point, general engage
ment might already be progressing.
The general staff gives no credit to
this view and is inclined to think the
incident is the Russian retirement
from Sikhoyan to Gontzianzi, reported
in General Kuropatkin's dispatch of
July 18th.
A dispatch from General Kuropat-
kin to the Gear, bringing events up to
July 22nd, has been received. but has
not yet been given out. II is said to
report only skirmishing between Lieu
tenant General Keller's army and the
Japanese.
General Herschelman commands the
Ninth division of the Tenth army
corps. The engagement of the Japan
ese with General Herschelmann is the
first time, SO far as Is known, in this
campaign, that the Japanese have con-
fronted a European trained formation
of troops.
The Eighteenth army corps of the
governments of Pskov and Reval are
to be modified soon.

Favors British Tariff.

London, July 22-The report of
Joseph Chamberlain's tariff commits
sion on the iron and steel trades ar
rives at the conclusion of the British
iron and steel industry is due to the
fact that the manufacturers of Amer
lea and Germany have secured con-
troll OF the home markets by means OF
high tariffs and an organized system
regulating their export trade: that
they are in a position to dump their
surplus products on the British and
other markets irrespective of cost and
that the dumping could not be carried
on except for the British system of
free imports.
The committee expresses the opin-
ion that the situation can only be
remedied by a system of tariffs ar
ranged as follows:
(A) A general tariff consisting of a
low scale of duties for foreign coun-
terms.
(B) preferential tariff, lower than
the general tariff, for the colonies. Civ
ing adequate preference for British
manufacturers and framed to secure
freer trade within the British Empire.
(C) A maximum tariff consisting of
comparatively higher duties, but sub
ject to reduction by negotiations to
the level OF the general tariff.
The report, which is signed by fifty
eight commissioners. is bulky and
gives the evidence OF British manufac-
turers, the evidence before the United
States Industrial commission on iron
and steel industries, the organizations
and working of German kartels, and a
vast amount of statistics, etc.

SWALLOW NOTIFIED.
Prohibition Candidate Accepts Noml-
nation for President.

Indianapolis. July 23.-Dr. Silas C.
Swallow of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
and George W. Carroll of Texas. Pro
hibition candidates for President and
rice president. were formally notified
of their nominations yesterday.
A. G. Wolfenbarger of Lincoln. Ne
braska. chairman of the recent nation
al Prohibition convention. delivered
the notification address to DIR. Swallow
and Homer l.. Castle of Pittsburg no
tilted Mr. Carroll. The occasion
brought many prominent Prohibition
lists Of the country here. The meet
ing of the national committee to dis
cuss campaign plans was also held
here today.
In accepting the nomination, DR..
Swallow said:
1T is with profound pleasure, and
a corresponding sense of responsible
ity. that | acknowledge the honor you
have conferred upon me in making me
your candidate for the presidency of
the United States of America. the
highest Office in the gift of any peo-
pie. because the head of the greatest
nation of the world now, as in 1776.
l regard your nomination, even If as
sured of defeat, which | am not, a
greater honor than nomination and
election from any OF the parties sub
sidized and controlled by the liquor
traffic
"It is a principle of common law
that the individual may not so use
his person, property or liberty as to
infringe upon the rights ond privileges
of others. Or. If so using. he must
without fail indemnify the injured by
making good the loss. 1t is fact, un-
controverted by all save the parties in
interest, that the 250000 liquor deal
ers in America, through their bust
ness, constantly and seriously infringe
upon the rights OF all our S0,000.00
people and that they do not indemnify
us for the damage inflicted.
For every dollar they pay into our
treasures, municipal, state and nation
al. it costs us. in providing for the in
sane, paupers and criminals their
business produces. $3.50.
Who Is responsible? The voters
are the real culprits. They are the
principals in a business in which the
liquor dealers are but the agents. The
informed voters. and especially the
Christian voter who admits In his
church resolutions that no Christian
should vote for saloon parties and
then does so vote. admits that he is
not Christian, though protesting to
to be.
Our party stands for a country so
financially, politically and morally
clean as to make it an object lesson
to be initiated through natural selec-
tion by the effete civilization of the
Old World rather than for country
whose ideal government must be can
1onaded into those whom we would be.
nevolently assimilate."

STRIKE RENEWED
UNIONS ALLgeE BROKEN FAITH
President Donneily Orders Men Out
Because Packers Have Not Kept
Their Agreement.

Chicago, July 23-The stocNards
strike, which was renewed yesterday
morning in Chicago and all the other
points where the big packing compa,
MES have branches. because the strik-
ers were dissatisfied with the manner
in which the employers proposed to re-
instate their former employees pending
a settlement for arbitration, Will con
tinue for number OF days, at least
A Joint conference between represent
atives OF both sides OF the contro-
versy and representatives of the al
lied trades in an attempt to bring
about peaceable adjustment OF this
second strike was unsuccessful and
the meeting was adjourned last night
at $50 with the understanding that
another conference would be held to-
day.
While the immediate provocation for
the renewal of the strike was appar-
ently the failure of the packers to take
back large proportion of the strik-
ers who returned for work yesterday,
the real cause of the rupture was in
ferred to be a circular issued yester-
day by the packers. The circular pur-
ported to explain to the public the
agreement entered into with the labor
leaders. Seemingly the circular could
be taken as implying that the agree
ment did not bind the packers to re-
employ all of the men who walked out.
The construction the labor leaders had
placed upon the agreement was that
all should be re-employed within forty
five days.
When the 5000 butchers and their
helpers went into the yards here yes
terday to take their old places the gen.
eral greeting received was:
We cannot take back more than
half the regular force"
Immediately there was woeful dis
play of chagrin and disappointment.
The men held conference of an i'm
promptu nature and reached an agree
ment to act as unit or not at all.
You must take us all back, or
none" came the reply of the union
men. The packers refused to accede
to this. and committee was sent to
see President Donnelly. The latter
was quickly in communication with
his advisers. Within an hour and
half the decision was reached to re-
open the strike. President Donnelly's
telegram was accordingly sent to all
unions.
