TO FORM FARMERS UNION
DETERMINED EFFORT is BEING
MADE TO HAVE FARMERS
GET TOGETHER.
American Federation of Labor Is Be-

CHICAGO, Ill, Sept. pa deter
mined effort will be made on the part
of the American Federation of Labor,
to bring about the unionization of the
farmers of this country and their af-
filiation with the American Federation
of Labor for mutual benefit and pro-
lection. In Wisconsin and Minnesota
a number Of farmers unions have been
formed already and according to the
statement of the officials of the Fedora
ton, the affiliation of these farmers
unions with the American Federation
of Labor is merely a question of time.
The leaders of the federation are highly
enthusiastic over the prospect of an al
lance between the city wage workers,
the farm hands and the farmers. It is
expected that the western farmers will
be we'll represented at the next meet
ing of the American Federation of La
Dor which will be held in Pittsburg in
November. 1t is not expected that the
plan of affiliation will meet with any
opposition from the federation.

TAKES UGLY TURN.
Nolan and Harry Corbett Are Telling
Stories of Al Sorts,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. %
Ever since the Colma battle there has
been a rumor of nasty developments
in the fighting game. 1t broke out last
night at Harry Corbetts, where Billy
Nolan, Battling Nelson's manager
was accused of being guilty of every
kind of crooked dealings by Harry
Corbett. Nolan, in return, accused
Corbett of endeavoring to double
cross the public by having Nelson
beaten by Young Corbett'' after that
fighter had been twice defeated by the
Dane.
Nelson also says that Corbett neld
out $1,000 of forfeirs for the Britt-Nel-
son match on him, to be applied to the
fund to fight anti-fght bills in the
state legislature. He said that the de-
feat of the Ralston bill last session
cost $1,000, and that Corbett paid the
money.
The trouble eliminated over the
referee question in the Britt-Nelson
battle. Corbett was one of the sug-
gestions Of Britt. Nolan objected to
MIN on the ground of incompetency.
To this Corbett objected strenuousIy.
Then Nolan limited broadly that Cor
bett was not honest. Corbett re-
talitated by telling a number of No
lan's alleged wrongdoings. Then Cor
bett came back with a story how No
Ian had hoodwinked Nelson into be-
lieving that ne (Nolan) had lots of
money, when, in reality, Corbett fur
nished Nolan with the money neces
sary for Nolan to make a showing.
Corbett denies that any money was
raised to fight the anti-prizefight bill
last session. Nolan persists that Cor
bett held out money from him for that
purpose. Altogether the air is filled
with stories sucn as clean sporting
men can hardly stomach. Nobody
can tell where the trail will lead. 1t
may kill the fighting game in Califor-
MIA. 1t would not be surprising if
Nelson signed up with new manager
in the near future.

ATHENA FARMER, CONVICTED OF
ARSON, SENTENCED TO PRIS-
ON TERM.
Two and One Half Years in Oregon
dIeton Yesterday.

Moses Taylor the Athena farmer
who was convicted last June of hav-
ing attempted to commit arson, was
sentenced this morning by Judge Ell
lis to serve two and one-half years in
the penitentiary, which sentence is
the minimum for that crime, says the
East Oregonian.
The case was brought into court
this morning when Judge Ellis gave
his decision on the motion that had
been made by the attorneys for the
defense. asking that a new trial be
granted. This motion was filed during
August, but was not decided upon I'M
til this morning. After listening to
the arguments Of District Attorney
Phelps against the motion, and to
those by Colonel Raley in it's be-
half, Judge Ellis declared the mo-
ton overruled and imposed the
above sentence upon the defendant.
After the sentence had been i'm
posed upon his client, Colonel Raley
filed notice of appeal to the supreme
court and the fight will be continued
at the session of that body, which
will be neld in November.
Taylor will not go to the penitentiary
while waiting for the supreme court
to pass upon his case, for writ of
probable cause was issued his attor-
neys by Judge Ellis, thus securing
suspension of his sentence while
awaiting the action of the higher
court.

SPRINGS GIGANTIC SCHEME.
How Retailers Can Fight iI-Order
Houses.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, Sept. %
An ss,0O0,0OO corporation organized
by country retailers to sell to patrons
of mail-order houses in their own ter
ritory, is the gigantic scheme Of w. H.
Gentner, a Pennington, Iowa, mer-
chant.
Mr.. Gentner says the mail-order
house has come to stay, that the
country retailer may as we'll face the
situation before it is too late. The
wonderful progress of America has
made the mail-order house necessary,
according to Gentner who says the
middleman makes a useless waste be-
tween maker and user.
For solution Gentner recommends
battle with the mail-order houses

NO GAMBLING IN CHICAGO.
Windy City Police Chief Says Public
Gaming Dead in City Limits.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-Gambling in
Chicago is nearer extinction than ii
has been in many years. Public
gambling in the city limits is dead.
This is the declaration Of the police
and the assertion seems to be borne
out by the scattering and disappear
ance of the men who promote and give
their time to it.
Arrested, driven from the city, their
paraphernalia shattered and DESTROYED
members of the fraternity are said to
nave made one last desperate effort
which portends violence to the chief
of police and members of his family if
the gambling crusade continues.
This has taken the form of anonv-
nous letters sent to the office and
house of the chief which threaten the
dynamiting of his home and violence
to himself and family.
Chief Collins at first was Inclined to
denounce these warnings as nonsense,
but fearing for the safety of his fam
lily he yesterday stationed a guard at
MS residence. The chief refused to
divulge the nature of the letters save
tnat they were threatening, and he
ADMITS that his house is guarded.
What the police assert is the surest
indication of present conditions in the
city is the departure of men, who for

WEBS FORMER WIFE.
Spokane Couple Parted Seventeen
Years Ago.

SPOKANE, Sept. 29.-After being
separated for seventeen years, John A
Broad and his wife were married b.
Justice Stocker. They were in tn,
dawn of middle age when they decided
they could not live together and OLE
age mad silvered their hair when the!
decided that it had all been a mistak,
and agreed to travel the test of life!
journey together.
1t was seventeen years ago in Col
orado that John Broad and his wifi,
parted. Up till that time they hat
been an ideally married couple. Foul
children, fast nearing manhood and
womanhood, had blessed their union
Each blamed it on the other and a
home was broken up.
The wife secured a divorce and has
married twice since she left Broad.
Both husbands she buried. Broad
came to the northwest after the sepa-
ration and located at Oakesdale, Wash.
He has become one of the prosperous
rancners of that vicinity.
After the death of her last husband
Mrs. Broad, or Mrs. McRae then, came
to Spokane to live with her son, j. R.
Broad. The father used to come in
from Oakesdale to see his son, and
nothing was more natural than that
the two should meet. Broad was IS
years old and his former wife 60.
Explanations followed the first
meeting, and then a courtsnip began.
The wife was doubtful about their
being able to be happy again, but the
old gentleman thought they could. All
during the summer this courtship of a
man of his former wife f1ourished.
Finally Mrs. McRae said eyes" and
Monday Mr.. Broad applied for his Sec
ond license to marry the same woman.

Race Track Gossip
BY Jimmy CuIIins.

1t isn't often that such a nigh elias!
lot of thoroughbreds will gather again
in Walla Walla as did yesterday wher
crowded grandstand and paddock
witnessed the running of the derby
and the presentation of the f1owerei
horseshoe to the winner. The crowG
he harness races started the grand
stand was overlooking. Every race
was interesting enough but it was the
derby every one was waiting for and
by the time the harness horses had
made things drag along till three:
o'clock and the gollopers had been put
on, the crowd was agog and nervous
for the great race of the meeting.
Mindanao, winner Of the Kidwell
handicap, opened up a strong favorite
and was backed down from two
five to one to two. Follow Me was
heavily played and closed at eight to
five. Anvil and Silver Heels looked
good to some at three to one. But it
was the Suburban Queen that the wise
ones were down on. Some thought
Baldo looked good and both Baldo and
Suburban Queen went to the post at
eight to one. Suburban Queen did
not have much Of a following and
the bookmakers made a great clean
up when she romped nome a winner
by half a length, with Mindanao get
ting second place and Silver Heels third
1t was a great race form start to fin
ish and Suburban Queen won through
sheer gameness. Jockey Smith must
be given great credit for getting the
mare off in good shape and keeping her
digging al the time.

over her sleek and trim neck she COM

another mile just as easily as the
first. The time for the mile and an
