THE AUDITORIUM
WILL BE TURNED OVER TO THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC SERVICE
ON NOVEMBER 3.

The auditorium will remain in the
hands of the board of trustees until the
third of November when the structure
will be turned over by the trustees to
the board of public service who will
have, in the future, full control as to
the letting of the amphitheatre for
various events.
The trustees and the service board
met last night to talk over the above
plans. In consequence of this decision
the auditorium will not be used for
various purposes until the third of
next month at least. Already requests
for the use of the building have been
made the principal ones coming from
the Republican organization of Can
ton and from the Masons. Both bod
les applied for an evening in the lat
ter part of October.
By action taken by the trustees last
night $4,000 more of insurance will
be placed on the building. This sum
makes total of $4,000.
A force of men is rapidly finishing
up the remaining work in the market
house portion. To erect the market
stalls is the main work yet uncom-
pleted and this work will cost $1,000
more than was estimated. Bids for the
erection of these stalls were in the
hands of the clerk but were not open
ed from the fact that the contracts
calling for over $1,000 must be adver-
tised for under the laws of this state
Accordingly these bids will be adver.
tised for and in ten days the contracts
let.

Race ISSUE" the fourth Violation Of
the Constitution" At one side l
should draw a picture of q sturdy far
mer with his hands upon the plow,
and this farmer would represent the
Democratic party. The title of the pic
ture would be Clearing the Ground
for Future Harvests." The picture
would represent the purpose of this
campaign. Eight years ago the DEM
ocratic party began contest for
economic, industrial and political re-
forms; eight years of Republican rule
have raised up new and unexpected is
sues that must be removed before the
party can proceed with its work.
Judge Parker and Mr.. Davis are our
leaders in this campaign for the re-
moval of these new issues. Those who,
like myself, desire to continue the
fight on economic questions can join
heartily in the support of candidates
who, by helping to dispose of the in
tervening questions, will hasten the day
of reform.

RUSSIAN RALLY
AT PLACES ON THE SHAKHE
RIVER THAT WE'RE "PRE-
VIoUsLY PREPARED"

Toxic, Oct. 22.-Judging from re-
ceived here. the indications seem to
be that the Russians have ral-
lied along the northern bank of the
Shallhe river, and are now taking up
previously prepared positions which
are deemed sufficiently strong to check
the pursuit by the Japanese who are
posted along the south bank.
In some places the distance between
the two armies is not greater than
200 yards.
The Japanese left flank has been
thrown over the river and is threaten
ing to envelop the Russian right.
It is questionable whether General
Kuropatkin intends merely to delay
the Japanese long enough to enable
him to prepare strong rearguard po-
sitions or whether he Contemplates
another general engagement.
The latter version of his movements
is the most credited in military cir
cles.
The force of Brigadier General va
mada, which was defeated by the Rus
SLAMS consisted of FIVE and one eighth
battalions of infantry, which were ap-
parently moved out too far The
Russian attacking force consisted of
II and one half battalions. The Jap
anese casualties were comparatively
few.
The incident is regarded as quite
trivial by the Japanese.

kNESE WILL TAKE THE
OFFENSIVE.

Toxic, Oct. 22.-(London Times.)-
The situation on the Shakhe river is
still unchanged. Dispatches received
from Field Marshal, the Marquis Oya-
ma seem to indicate that the river is

the Fushin road, northward of Piennui-
tupan. o.

ZONE

Panama, Oct. 2l.--Three parties of
marines, sent out to investigate a ru-
NOR that a force. of Colombians had
invaded the eastern part of the canal
zone, returned today and reported that
they had failed to find trace of the
alleged invaders. Previous to their
return, Indians circulated the story
that marines had fought battle with
the Colombians.
The rumor was evidently spread for
the purpose of dampening the enthu-
siasm of those who are preparing for
the celebration of the anniversary OF
Panama's independence on November

VIM. J. BRYAN
At PARKERSBURG
SHOWS SIGNS OF THE RIeoRs OF
THE CAMPAIGN.
Was Greeted With Storms Of Applause.
Made Strong Plea For Park
er and Davis.

Parkersburg, W Va. Oct. 2t.-Wil-
liam J. Bryan made his initial appear
ane in this state as supporter of
Parker and Davis at great open air
meeting held late this afternoon In
front of the court house. Henry G.
Davis, Democratic vice presidential
candidate was upon the stand and
shared honors with the Nebraskan.
Five thousand people listened to the
speeches of men of local Importance
who entertained them with a discourse
upon local questions until the BOOM
ing of the cannon heralded Bryan's
arrival. Arm in arm, Bryan and Davis
appeared upon the speakers platform
amid a hurricane OF applause and
cries of Bryan, Bryan"
Bryan Immediately launched into
speech. He said that he was glad TO
come to this state to aid Senator
Davis, who when nearly all moneyed
men had turned from him in his two
campaigns for the presidency, was the
first man of wealth to come to his aid.
He paid a tribute to Daviss wisdom
and hardihood and lauded him for be-
ing man with money in his pocket,
without a sordid heart"
The speaker showed signs Of the
rigors of the campaign. His voice was
hoarse and carried poorly.
ut should be the man before the
dollar when it Is politics" he declared.
II am in this campaign because we are
| fighting the old question, the rights OF
the people against the aggressions Of
wealth. | have faith in party that's
| for the people, has trust in the people
and fights for the people There are
some who have criticized me because
| support a candidate who does not
stand for all l stood for when | ran.
| | believe today in the declarations l
made eight and four years ago. MANY
cheers.) But the questions of consti.
tutional rights and imperialism are
! before the people and to me in face
of these the money question seems
! Slhdll anu bOSS MY pai-
! ty promise all l wish? No, but it
promises more than any other party.
| In this campaign I am doing what I
can to help Parker, for I am not willing
to take up four years more Of Roose-
welt. If I had sulked in my tent
could not have lodged the responsi.
bility had that helped elect Roose-
velt. l want every man who voted for
me to vote for Parker and Davis"
That's my main concern. Parker
and Davis, for one thing" he added,
means a relief from Imperialism"
Bryan's conclusion brought storms
Of applause. It was "let all the people
who voted for me, vote for Parker anu
Davis. Let all the gold people VITO
are afraid Of me vote for Parker and
| Davis"
Immediately the crowd made a rush
for the Nebraskan. They caught him
by the hands and the arms and it was
with difficulty that the policemen got
him away through the crowd.
Vice Presidential Candidate Davis was
entirely forgotten and he made HIS
way to Bryan's carriage alone Bry-
an left on Senator Davis's private car
! for Huntington at o'clock. Senator
Davis left for Elkins, W. Va, his home,
this evening.
