Saltwater to the Front.

Old Saltwater is taking on a
new lease of life. Preparations
are being made for the rush that
is to come to the erstwhile coun-
ty seat in the near future.
Chas. Cirac has enlarged his
hotel and equipped it with new
furniture from cellar to garret.
In the vicinity of Saltwater
there is much mining activity.
A number of prospcctors are in
the hills thereabout and they
are enthusiastic over the out
look.
The land surrounding Still
water is known to be as fine as
any under the sun and there are
thousands of acres in that local
ity to be reclaimed by the gov
ernment. AS soon as this land
is under cultivation, Saltwater
will assume the proportions of
a city. In fact, it is estimated
that the town will grow to con
tain a population of 1000 peo-
pie. At any rate it will be bet
ter than it ever has been. The
spot is an ideal one for a beau
tiful city and there will certainly
be one there ere many years
shall have passed.

CELEBRATION
OF THEFOURTH
independence Day on
the Prairie.

Last Monday was gala day
in Fallon, it being the occasion
OF a great big celebration in hon
or of the Nations birthday.
The program was varied and
entertaining and all are enthu-
siastic in their praise of it. A
rain storm in the afternoon did
not mar the days pleasure in
the least, but only added to the
comfort of all
The town was decorated for
the occasion and presented Il
gay appearance.
The parade started at 1890
O'Clock and was a credit to the
community. The Goddess OF
Liberty float was particularly
attractive. Miss Lizzie Austin.
the Goddess, was a picture OF
loveliness and was received with
much applause along The line OF
march. Her maids of honor
were the little Misses Iowa
Allen. Della Webb, Gladys Stump
and Stella Green wood, each OF
whom was sweetness personi-
fed.
Another feature OF the parade
worthy of special mention was
the decorated carriage occupied
by Miss Clarita Fortune. Miss
Clarita is a wee bit of a child,
but on Monday last she was
lust as big and important as
anybody,
After the parade the literary
exercises took place in the open
air pavilion and were largely
attended. J. w. Ferguson was
chairman of the program, c. o.
Cushman, chaplain n w. Will
lis, reader of Declaration of In
dependence and w. IL. A. Pike.
orator of the day. 1t is not our
desire to specialize, yet we con
slider it bur fair to remark that
the address of Hon Mr.. Pike
was mastertul and eloquent.
Our citizens hope to have the
pleasure of again hearing him at
no distant date
The afternoon WAS taken up
with horse racing. foot racing,
etc, and proved to be very ell,
tertaining. Much interest was
taken i'll the sports program
and considerable money changed
hands. The race committee and
Ed Schweikert and Will Sanford
are to be congra tulated for the
clever manner in which they
handled this portion of the DAYS
festivities.
Stan {. Mitchell and the editor
of the STANDARD were the mar
shals of the day and if reports
are true acquitted themselves
crediblv.
The days program concluded
with a grand ball in the pavilion.
This dance was the largest at
tended affair of its kind ever
held in Fallon. The ball room
was crowded and presented a
gay scene of mirth and beauty.
Deserving of a world of praise
is the Fallon Brass Band. 1t
was more than generous with
its music, which is of a standard
far above the average
Taken as a whole the celebra-
tion was a good one, and re-
fleets credit upon the committees
that had the celebration in
charge.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 13.-There was rather
remarkable demonstration of speculative
interest in Industrial stocks and special
ti.4s,- tssi.sy. which was of doubtful effect
on sentiment towards the market The
market had an appearance of breadth and
animation during the greater part of the
day. but the falling off in the aggregate
transactions shows that an active market
for the inGustIialS in the large market
results as the usual operations in the
more important railroad stocks.
This was made more market by the
fact that the more important industrials
were also late in coming in today
the early part of the day with the drag
ging and hesitating tone of the railroads.
1t was only in a few cases that specific
trade developments We're advanced as 4
reason for the al-embracing movement in
the induStrials
The argument for their rise was that
stocks of this class have not hitherto
shared in the prolonged advance in rail-
road stocks, although the latter move
ment was avowedly based on improved
general trade and industrial conditions
which should increase the values of all
securities. The dropping tendency of the
railroad list seemed to be due as much to
the unsettlement of sentiment by the
prominence given to low grade stocks as
to any news unfavorable to railroad
values.
Reports came to hand of the sale of
several newt issues of railroad bonds.
which was considered indicative of i'm
proving financial conditions. The market
closed irregular.

vances. Total sales. par value. s.. $50. 600.

Has the Tide of War Turned?

Are the Russians making mOnu-
mental bluff, or are they really heading
the other way, instead OF being in re-
treat? The developments of the near
future will be an answer to this ques-
ton, but just now the average reader
Of war news from the far East is in
much doubt. General Kuropatkin has
issued a grandiloquent proclamation
which announces d forward movement,
but study of it reveals numerous
contradictions. 1t is difficult to under
stand where he has gotten the great
reinforcement which enables him to
advance now. when he has been forced
to retreat for weeks. The maximum
reinforcements which the Siberian
railroad is capable of bringing to him
from Russia is only 1000 men per day.
and in a month since retreating to
| Mukden this would allow only 10000
soldiers to be added to the Russian
army. a number scarcely large enough
to offset the Russian losses.
| And yet, the Russian commander de-
clares that. while he was forced to re-
treat to Mukden because the japanese
were overwhelmingly strong. his army
| is now large enough to turn the other
way and retake the lost ground. 1t
seems altogether improbable that the
| proclamation is anything more than a
bluff to revive the dropping spirits of
| the Russian army and the Russian
| people. 1t is altogether likely that
| the Japanese army, which drove the
| Russians to Mukden, has also been re-
ceiving reinforcements during the past
month, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that the fighting spirit of the
| JAMS has weakened. 1t is doubtless
| true that Russia has raised second
great army at home. butethe lack of
| transportation facilities renders it i'm
possible to get this to the front fast
enough to drive the Japanese back to
| the sea as the RUSSIAN COIlllildlueFS
are cheerfully promising to do.
The scene of the fighting is in the
same latitude as that Of New England,
and a winter campaign would be a
terrible thing for both armies. The
Russians would have the advantage
because they are born in a cold climate
and trained actively to the cold wealth.
er. while the japanese are from a
warm climate, and would be most Sc
verely handicapped by low tempera-
ture. Yet since the war began, the
Japanese have been doing the impossi-
BILE. and in this country we are not
| ready to believe that even with the

! ments which can be sent from home,
, the Russians are able to turn the tide
of battle against the soldiers of the

sparker and the Constitution.

The claim that Judge Parker IS 'he
candidate Of the constitution sou''
very respectable and even nspirihs'
but will the claim bear analysis!
Judge Parker really has such hlsh
regard for the constitution, as MS au
mirers insist, then he would not only
be governed strictly by it if eiecteu
President, but he must also oe op
posed to the only means by WHICH,
there is a possibility OF his elec'ioii
Tho only states whose electoral vote
he is absolutely sure of are those Vi
tho Sonth where both the letter ana
snirit of the constitution are fagrantiy
,.;o,.+ad and where such a thing as
fair election is wholly unknown.
II Judpe Parker really has loyal
rogard for the constitution, then ne
must be opposed to the unconstitution-
n ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the negro vote
which MANY of the Southern states
have indulged in. What has he to say
upon this subject? What have his
Northern supporters to say upon it?
They simply dodge the whole impor-
tant issue by condemning it as re-
vivaI of the race ISSUE" and a de-
nlorable attempt to arouse sectional
feeling" They put forward no argu-
ments or excuse for the way in which
the South has trampled the constitu-
of the ballot solely for racial reasons,
and they have nothing to say in reply
to the Republican assertion that the
South has a far greater representation
in the electoral college and in Congress
than it is honestly entitled to.
Judge Parker. as the champion of
the constitution, seems to think that
he has the privilege of picking the
clauses in it which he will defend and
enforce, while he allows the leaders of
his party to ignore and override some
of it's most important provisions and
amendments OF course, a little con-
sideration of these things shows that
all the talk about Judge Parker being
the candidate of the constitution is ut
ter bosh, cheap and high-sounding
hypocrisy. by which the Democrats
hope to hoodwink the Northern voters.
The South understands the situation
and knows that it would be in the sad
die and in absolute control of national
affairs if Parker were placed in the
White House.

Down in Connecticut the Democrats
are trying to inject a few local issues
into the campaign. and one If them Is
the charge of extravaganza by the Re

Six years ago the net debt of Connccti-

weed familiar to farmers in many sec
tons of the State. They are two pro-
ducts of Maine farms that could be
spared without drawing tear of re-

and because the officials of our board
of agriculture devote mere or less at
tention to these drawbacks to the
prosperity and happiness no one, nor
even the editor of the Bangor News, is
