tain.
| The world knows that Pennsylvania IS
| government and politics ire famous for
graft but few ever expected so great a
state to be betrayed even by grafters
to the extent that it has been in it's
exhibit at the st. Louis fair. Accord
| ing to the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can. exhibits contributed on request by
farmers were neglected, and where
glowing pyramids of grain and fruit
might have been shown there stood an
array of liquors and patented break
| fast foods, not one of which were pro-

City $150,O00 has been invested in auto
mobiles and motor cars, since the first
day Of May, 1904, and two months still
I remain before the season ends. Sioux

| The placing of the tariff of 81 to IS
a ton on rails by the Canadian govern
ment is of interest to the domestic rail
market. 1t may result in the establish
ment of modern Canadian rail mills. 1t
is estimated that close to 100000 tons
of standard section rails We're con-

GENTLY to endanger a new building be-

The T.-R. desires to make correc-
ton. In it's telegraph dispatches OF
Saturday it was stated that the Rus
slams were in full retreat with the pos
| sibility that a portion of it's army had
been captured by the Japs. We are In
formed from st. Petersburg that this is
an egregious error. Kuropatkln has

A rogues', gallery is the plan now
being considered in the conferences OF
union textile workers. BY posting the
photographs of union men who desert
