SOME MORE PREDICTIONS.

Charles A. Walsh is predicting again.
1t will be remembered by the fellow
townsmen of Mr. Walsh that he has
always been pretty long on predictions
but that someway or other they have
failed to come true. Like many an
other, Mr.. Walsh can see into the fu-
ture all right, but the future under
goes change of mind before it be-
comes the present. So, here in OF
tumwa, where, however, Mr.. Walsh Is
not without honor even though in
his own country, there is little serious
attention paid to his views on politics.
In Des Moines yesterday he informed
interviewers that Hearst will be nomi-
mated for the presidency on the demo
cratic ticket in 1908, that the demo
Gratis of the Iowa legislature will vote
for the primary election law, and he
also said some other things on less
important subjects. He is probably
just as sure that Mr.. Hearst will be
nominated as he was in 1896 and 1900
that Bryan would be elected. Some
democrats in Ottumwa who wanted to
make a little easy money in 1896
haven't forgotten yet how Mr.: Walsh's
Judgment played them false then, and
it is safe to venture an assertion that
there will not be great amount wag-
cred in Ottumwa that Hearst Is the
next democratic nominee on the
strength of Mr.. Walsh's prediction.
Just how the democrats in the Iowa
Legislature will vote on the primary
law is question, but not a very i'm
portant one, for the reason that there
are. hardly enough of that party's rep
resentatives in the law-making body to
stir up much trouble even If they
should all vote alike, either for or
against the proposed measure.

Senator Dolliver will receive the en-

rate regulation before the senate com

ton. The members Of the committee
who oppose the Presidents plan are
delaying the consideration of the bill
introduced by Mr.. Dolliver and the
Iowan has at last taken the case be-
fore the senate as whole. 1t Is to be
hoped that he will be successful Mr.
Dolliver is recognized as the champion
in the senate of the Presidents views
on railroad rate regulation. In the
house the work on the rate bill is pro-
crossing favorably. Colonel Hepburn's

lars. He is what may be called q
gentleman fighter" for he neither
drinks. smokes nor swears. In fact
he is just like any ordinary man, pos
except for what he calls his "profes-
sion" pugilism.
When the case is sifted down to the
very bottom and the real facts are
considered without the prejudice that
is so popular against prize fighting and
prize fighters, one cannot but see
force in the remarks O'Brien made to
an interviewer shortly after his ex-
pulsion from the Nederland. He said.
Played honesty, fighting is a decent
a game as there is The game ought
to be so clean that women and chill
dren could go to see it, but the trouble
is that they don't, as we have to fight
stripped and not like football men,
covered with leather and pads. It's
not bit rougher than football Every
man who is not ever after ashamed of
himself in his heart must have fight
some time, and it is through men like
the prize fighters that they can learn
to protect themselves.
To those who have been unfortun-
ate enough to spend night in hotel
on the same floor with the members
of college football eleven and have
gone through the tortures of hearing
the athletes storm through halls and
hold high carnival in their rooms, the
remarks of the prize fighter cannot
but appeal with all the sympathy of a
letter from home" Mr. O'Brien, nor
any other one prize fighter could not

lung and limb, produce anything like

If Senator Crossley's primary cleo

that business men should consider.
Two elections, with all their attendant
uproar, and coming within three
months, would bring a practical cessa.
ton of business If they received the
attention that would be necessary in
order to make the proposed primary
law a success. Business men do not
want such stagnation, and they do
not want such law. If there are To-
calities where the primary is wanted
and needed, well and good. But it is
neither generally wanted nor needed
in Wapello county, nor in Ottumwa.
It's result could not be for the better
and every chance is that it would be
for, the verse. Why change when the
present plan is satisfactory practical,
successful and thoroughly understood

the election laws that makes the sys-
tenn more intricate and difficult of I'M
derstanding can be for the better, and
the primary law proposes just that
kind of modification.

Lewiston-c Charleston Fair.

The coming Lewiston Charleston fair
which will be held at Lewiston October
8 to Ii promises to be the greatest zen
eral exhibition eyer ATTEMPTED bvethe
people of the Gateway CITY," Noex-
pense or pains will be spared to make
the evil one to long be remembered"
No person familiar with exhibitions
such as the lewiston Charleston fair can
doubt that they are of great practical
and educational benefit to the comfnun-
ity In which they are held. The 'agri-
cultural, horticultural and stock inter-
ests owe much OF their development to
these exhibitions, and it is the absolute
aim OF the present board of directors to
continue and improve the line of work
in all departments. With this end in
view, the amount of money offered this
year has been considerably increased.
The fruit prize list and stock divisions
have been carefully revised and premi-
ums increased, and in addition several
special premiums of merit have been
added for district and Individual dis
plays.
The blooded stock features will be
larger and more numerous than ever.
Several of the greatest herds of the
northwest will be represented, and the
management is assured of an extremely
large entry list from local stockmen.
The racing during the exhibition will
be stronger than in previous years.
Most of the California, northwest and
local horses will be here. The presence
of the California contingent was made
possible owing to the San Francisco dis
aster. These horses are now racing at
Seattle, and the owners have announced
that they will attend the Lewiston
meeting, The weeks racing will pro-
vide many notable contests and the
breaking of TRACK records should be
looked for.
The management guarantees that the
amusement features of the 1906 fair
will be on a much more elaborate scale
than eyer. The officers have closed a
contract with the largest carnival or
ganization now on the road, and it's 18
cars of feature work will be on exhibit
ton. There will be strong free vaude-
vile program each day at the grounds,
and at night the Midway will be filled
with high class attractions of all descrip-
tions.
The usual low transportation rates
will be made for the fair, and the week
of October to Is will be the best pos
sible time to take the harvest vaca-
ton and enjoy several days at the
greatest exhibition in the country this
year. The premium lists are nov
printed and any person desiring a copy
can secure them by addressing the sec
rotary, G. w, Mount, at Lewiston.

ORE EXHIBITS AT

Old Camps Make Better Displays OF
Their Wealth and New Districts

Word comes that good mining ex-
hibit will be seen at the Spokane Inter
state fair this year, which opens Sep
TENDER "a. Robt. H. Cosgrove, man.
ager of the fair, has preserved all the
exhibits which have been gathered dur
ing the last two or three years, and this
in itself makes good display of the
mineral resources of the Pacific north
west. Besides these, however, many
camps are sending in new specimens
which will freshen up their displays and
show the latest developments of their
mines and the new discoveries.

wood, B. c., is preparing entire new
exhibits of the big mines Of the Bound

the past has had some of the best ore
ever seen in Spokane.
Many new exhibits will be made by
the mines of the Occur d'Alenes. rms
district has been forging ahead with
great rapidity during the past year and
the mining men believe that while IN
the past they have had representative
showings of their properties at the Spo-
kane fairs, it is quite necessary that
these be added to in order to properly
represent the mines of this now famous
section. 1t is the desire of the man

tricts in the Pacific northwest follow
the example of the Occur d'Alenes and
the Boundary, and strengthen their dis
plays at the fair, which lasts two weeks
this year, instead of one, and will be 9
greater benefit to all miners who ex'
hibit. Several new camps and discov'
cries will make showing for the f1rs'
time.

the theosophical point OF view the -four
ages are as follows: Sata yuga golden

total OF these four ages makes one

years. One thousand maha yugas
make one kalpa, or day Of Brahma,
equal to 1000 times 100000 years
After the expiration OF that unthink-
able period of time the night Of Brah-
ma, equal In duration to the length of
the day, comes on, and the earth van
ishes from the plane Of existence.
Three hundred and sixty days and
nights Of Brahma make one year Of

as the great night which Is equal In
length TO the great kalpa. After the
great night has lifted its sable mantle

WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS.
WY None of Them Ii Mentioned In
the Annals Of the Gnme

the Annals of the Game.
Ladies' chess clubs are being estab-
lished In VARIOUS parts Of the country;
special inducements are held out for
their patronage by the promoters Of
national and international tournaments,
and articles on the game appear regu-
larry IN Journals which cater specially
to them. Women have always played
and taken part in the game, though
probably never to the same extent as
now. It is, therefore, remarkable that
in the whole of its ENORMOUS literature
there does not appear the name Of
any woman among the stars of the
first, second or third magnitude. One
may go through volume after volume
containing thousands Of games and not
find single one played by women
which any editor thought worthy Of Q
permanent record.
When the question has been raised
before, 1T has been involved with that
Of the intellectual superiority of one
sex over the other, Today the answer
to this would be totally inadequate
and inconsequenttal. There are men In
the front rank Of players at the pres
ent moment who by no stretch Of the
Imagination or the term can be said to
occupy their position on account Of ex-
ceptionally intellectual endowments.
While the game always appeals to in
tsllectual men and women, intellect Is
not the only fact8r which makes the
great player.
A capeful examination Of the games
Of players whom the world recosnIzes
as great reveals the fact that the fac
nlties and qualities Of concentration,
comprehensiveness, imparhality and,
above all, spark OF originality. are
to be found Up combination and In va
rying degrees. The absence of these
qualities In woman explains why no
member OF the feminine sex has occg.
pied any high position as a chess
player.
There are many women who are ear
nest students Of chess whose mowi

the accouterments Of the game Is phe
