that their judgment was good when
they purchased this group of claims

apt to develop into the most valu-
able property in the Rapid River

Several rich strikes have been

DUBOIS
TALKS Or west
Tells a Short Story to the
New York World on the
Western Political
Situation.

While attending a meeting OF the
national democratic committee in
New York the other day, when Tom
Taggart, of Indiana, was unanimous.
ly elected chairman, Senator Dubois
gave out the following interesting
story;
Local conditions are favorable
for democratic success in some of
the western states. Roosevelt is very
popular in this section, and would
carry all the states west of the Mis-
souri, river by large majorties if it
was a question of his personal popu-
larity.
Ills party is weakened and he is
hurt by local troubles, however.
In Idaho the people are thorough
ly aroused over the Mormon question.
The democratic party of the state has
declared unequiyocally that polygamy
must be suppressed, and that the
NJ ormon church authorities in Utah
shall not dominate the politics OF
Idaho.
lit is an Issue which affects our
homes and our citizenship. Our best
womanhood and manhood are in
volved.
s "The dictation of the church lead
ers in politics and the open polyga-
nous living OF the highest officials
OF The church have become not only
intolerable, but a menace. The sun.
port OF the national democracy and
its unequivocal declaration in its
platform will materially strengthen
the party in Idaho.
sin Colorado the usurpation of law
and the harsh and indefensible meth
DDS OF the state authorizes against
labor organizations have alarmed law
and order people. The republican
party will suffer, not only in Colo
RADIO, but in all the mining states of
the far west on account of the Colo.
rade situation.
sin Washington state there il a
abroad war more intense than the
war In Wisconsin.

ARTISTS AND PICTURES.

The pictures and drawings which were
at one time a feature of the once cele-
brated Chat Noir have been recently
sold in Paris. The collection only
brought $500.
The three most important prizes
awarded this year by the Berlin Acad-
envy of Fine Arts went to Hans Muller
and Herbert Arnold, painters, and Alex
ander Hohrath, architect.
Glenn Brown, the well-known Wash
ington architect, has been elected an
honorary corresponding member of the
Royal Institute of British Architects.
Only six other American architects have
been honored in this way
Last February the Louvre bought for
$4,000 the sculptured STEELE known as
that of King Serpent. supposed to have
been found at Abydos, but doubts are
expressed as to its authenticity, and an
investigation has been ordered.
John S. Sargent, whom three coun-
tries claim, America for his parentage,
Italy for the chance of his birth and
England for his adoption, has received
an election to the Royal Society of
water colors in the current exhibition:
Facade of the Salute, Venice" Grand
Canal "a Venetian Trattoria" and "a
Garden Vase"
The collection of paintings by native
Filipino artists in the art gallery of the
Administration building on the Philip
pine reservation at the st. Louis expo
sition offers, it is said, graphic story
of the Spanish dynasty, the war which
wrought its downfall and the new au-
thority of the United States. Most of
the canvases are excellent specimens Of
art, and doubtless no feature of the ex-
position will surprise visitors more than
that these paintings should have come
out of the Philippine islands. One of the
canvases represents the death of Gen.
Lawton and is a wonderfully exact rep
resentation, according to soldiers who
were present when that gallant leader
fell.

Nature Study That Failed.

A certain clever teacher once con-
graduated herself on having given her
geography class a vivid idea of islands
by cutting out pieces of brown paper
and pinning them on the wall. That's

school, speaking from a longer expe-
rience of youthful mind, but those
children will go out into life with a
