THE VETERANS IN DENVER
Homage-Decorntions Are
Most Elaborate.

Denver, Col, Sept. 5.-The first OH
eial business of the thirty-ninth ma
tional encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic was transacted when
the national council of administration
met and selected E. B. Stillings. of Bos-
ton, fer the Office of junior vice-com-
mander-in-chief, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Commander-in-
Chief Wilmon w. Blackmar, ana the
promotion there Of the two officials be-
low him in line. The council also ap-
proved the work Of its executive COM
mittee, performed during the interim
since the last encampment, and audited
the accounts.
The streets were thronged at night,
and the strains of martial music were
heard throughout the downtown dis
tricts. Drum corps and brass bands,
followed by grizzled veterans, marched
to and from between department and
nationa! headquarters. while sightseers
filled the sidewalks and congested the
street curbing. The streets were
brilliantly illuminated, and the nation
al colors in all sorts Of froms flew
from every building in the business sec
ton. Visitors say the decorations are
the most elaborate ever attempted in
honor of q Grand Army encampment.

extended to Miami, and perhaps further

that the company is composed of sound
business men and bankers in Missouri,
Chicago and New York; that they have
plenty Of money themselves to build
The road, besides having the best finar-
cial backing Of any new company in
the United States. The road will be an
up-to-date i"nterurban electric railway,
equipped for both passenger and freight
business, with the latest and most mod
ern improvements, running cars be-
tween the points mentioned every few
hours. Thomas Marshall, one of the
promoters, says that ultimately the line
may be extended into Iowa.

SUSPECT TRUSTED SERVANT
Belief That Mrs. Jane l.. Stanford
Was Murdered by n "Dope Fiend"
While Under influence.

San Francisco, Sept. detectives
here believe they now have a definite
cleW to the person who administered
poison to the late Jane l.. Stanford, who
died last January, after drinking a bot
tie OF Poland water,
Although no mention has been made
of the fact, officers here, including spe-
cial men Of a private agency, have been
engaged on the case. Every person who
was intimately connected with Mrs.
Stanford has been under close watch.
Facts regarding the taking of opium
in abnormal quantities by n of Mrs.
Stanford's trusted servants have been
brought to light, and suspicion rests
upon this person. 1t has been learned
that this servant frequently gave way
to violent fits of temper while in the
employ of Mrs. Stanford, and that she
did not speak to Mrs. Stanford, except
when forced to by her duties, for days
at a time. and that while in this condi-
ton she threatened her employer sew

Big FIRE AT PORTLAND, GRE.
stroyed, Entniling "A Loss OF
Fully $25O,OOO.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 2.-The elevator
dock was destroyed and the Albins
dock badly damaged by fire, entailing
a total loss of $3.50, 900, equally divided
between the Pacific Coast Elevator Co.
and the Oregon Railway G. Navigation
Co. The docks lay on the east side
of the Willamette river in the Albina
yards of the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
CATION Co., and contained a large guam
tity of new wheat.
The fire, which was famed by a
strong wind, consumed the docks in
less than half an hour. 1t then jumped
the river, which is a third of a mile wide
at that point, to the lumber yards of the
Eastern & Western Lumber Co. The
fire then crept northward along the va
ter front, threatening the Oceanic dock,
which lies about $50 yards from the
elevator dock. The water front for a
distance of 1900 feet has been swept.
Sixty thousand bushels Of wheat have
been destroyed.
The loss as given out by the compa-
MES affected, is as follows:
Pacific Elevator Co., elevator and 20
900 bushels of wheat, $3.50, 900; Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Co., Albina dock
and 10000 bushels of wheat, $1S9, 900.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

the QUANTRELL RAIDERS
Movement On Foot at Lawrence,
KaS., to Revive Old indictments.
The Movement the Result of lnnam-
mntOry U~tterances At the Inde-
pendence Mo.) Reunion.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 31.-A move
ment has been started here growing out
the annual reunion of the Quantrell
raid survivors, held yearly at indie
pendence, Mo-, to have the men who
were indicted for the famous raid
brought here for trial, because of their
alleged inf1ammatory utterances.
November IS, 1863, grand jury returned
20 indictments against the raiders for
murder in the first degree. Under the
law these indictments do not outlaw,
and now many citizens of Lawrence
want them revived. They want to put
the question up to Gov. Folk whether
or not he will send the men back for
trial.
At the recent reunion at Independence
n man was quoted as saying that his
only regret was that the raiders had
not wiped out the whole town."
There is an indictment on file here
against this man. Judge S. A. Riggs
drew the indictment at the time. He
says he is ready to assist in a vigorous
prosecution.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS
JOPLIN May Get Local Option.

Local option is threated in Joplin as
q result of the fight that has been
made on the ordinance increasing the
license of saloons from $3.50 to Sl,00o
a year. Since the passage of the ordi-
nance, the dramshop keepers have
been busy with petitions and conduct
ing a campaign for the repeal OF the
ordinance, which they assert will drive
out of business at least II out of the
Al saloons now running. Their CHIEF
appeal aside from this fact is the ar
gument that the road fund of the dis
trict will lose about $4,000 a year that
now comes out of the licenses. Onset
ting this argument is the one al
vanced by the advocates of the ordi-
nance that about $500 0 will be added
to the general of the city,
something which appeals to the u
Gil and mayor, as they face a deficit
of $1,000 for the year. So bitter has the
contest grown that those favoring the
ordinance make announcement that
they will try to have local option sub
mitted to the people as soon az the
proper signatures can be secured.

ACTIVITY IN ALL LINES
Bradstreet's Weekly Report Reflects
Marked Activity in All Lines OF

New York, Sept, 2.-Bradstreet's

September opens with fall buying APP
parently at a maximum, marked activ-
ity in all lines of industry, liberal buy
ing by railroads Of rails and supplies,
currency shipments to the country to
move crops increasing and with conf
dence as to the outlook for trade pre-
viously noted strengthened by the sue
cessful issue of the Rus~soJapanese
peace negotiations. These latter, joint
ly with the increased pressure of sup
plies of agricultural products at leading
markets, have had a distinct effect upon
many commodity values, the tendency
being toward a lower level in cotton,
live animals, potatoes and butter. 1t is
to be noted, however, that home prod
ucts are strong and higher on the week.
