BOYSEN
BLOCKED
u. S. Army Keeping Him
from Prospecting on
Shoshone Reservation
--Court to Decide His
Preferential Right.

Advices from Washington and
Lander indicate that Asmus Boy
sen, and his crew Of prospectors,
have been prohibited from going
on the Shoshone reservation in
spite Of the restraining order OBJ
tanned by Boysen forbidding the
Indian agent and his agent and
his assistants from interfering with
him.
The order of the court was
obeyed to the letter by FL. E.
Wadsworth, agent at Fl. Washable,
but when Boysen and his force of
men attempted to enter the reserve
they were confronted by the mill
tary patrols now being maintained
to keep off all white people until
the opening on August 10. The
injunction did not apply to the
army and hence Boysen was alb
solutely refused permission to en-
ter the eserv and his corps of
prospectors are now camped on
the edge of the eserv awaiting
for the developments in the case,
which is becoming interesting.
kilograms from Washington
state that the department of jus,
tice has issued instructions to Il.
f. Burke, United States district
attorney here, to appeal from the
decision of the federal court. Mr..
Burke stated he had not yet re-
ceived such instructions, but that
it was possible they might have
been sent by mail. The proceed
ure to be adopted will be to appeal
the case at once to the United
States circuit court of appeals fol
the purpose of ascertaining pre-
cisely what Interpretation shall
be placed upon the law passed b,
Congress and granting certain
preferential rights to prospect OIL
the reservation and giving hin
$50 acres of land. This decision
will be handed down in a YER,
short time and if favorable to Boy
sen the military will be instructed
to permit Boysen and his pros
pectors to go on the reservation

THOMAS FRANCES "

Last Sunday morning while
breaking a tie jam on Brush creek
Thomas Frances was caught when
the jam broke and killed by the
tiles or drowned. His body was
badly bruised and torn and fea-
lures scarcely recognizable.
Mr. Frances was considered one
|of the best men on the drive, and
being an experienced river man
was sent to break the jam in the
most t%reacherous creek the men
have to deal with.
The deceased leaves a wife and
six children who depended wholly
upon him for support and to add
to the product provided from their
small ranch he went on the drive
each year besides doing other work
at odd times.
Undertaken Jensen went out
and brought the body here where
burial took place Monday.
The mother and children have
the sympathy of the entire com.
munity.

Found His Cow.

We are informed that a gentle,
man who owns a cow in this city
is unable to tell his COW from any
other as will be readily seen from
the following:
The gentleman went home the
other night and not finding his
COW as usual at the barn went in
search for her. After hunting for
some time he discovered the ami
NAL in the pasture of Hugus q
Jensen down below town and was
surprised to discover that she had
a calf, but not letting the calf
bother him any he started in to
take the COW home but she OBJ
jected and after running her sew
eral times across the field, which
is some two miles across, he gave
it up as a bad job. When he
reached home he was more sur
prised than ever to see the COW
peacefully chewing her cud stand
ing out by the barn. The gentle
man in question hid out at once
and is at this time studying the
ways and means of how to distin-
the difference between COWS.
1t is needless to say that he is a
tenderfoot of the first water but as
to the COW that he run down we
are informed that she died from
palpitation of the heart brought
on from over excitement.

Since the body of Father Gapon
WAS found hanging in a house in

1t is believed. Congress will be
able to adjourn in June if Senator

tempting to lower his own long
distance speech record.
A. J. C~assatt, the railway mag
nate, has been paid a fee of $l.5O

one of those big octopus t~entacles

Represents Conservative Citizens.

Mobile Register.
 MT Motion but expresses the fears of all conservative citizens that have been aroused by the conduct of Mir. Conner and his followers. There was time when the Comer idea was in- tensely popular: when MT. Conner was looked upon as one who had come to rescue the people from an intolerable burden. At that time it was believed that if an election were held Mr. Co., mer would sweep the State, experience ing very little opposition. But, with the development of the campaign the Conner idea took on another complex ion. Mir. Conner himself seems to have been carried further than he expected at the start; he has come to personify opposition to corporations generally; and it is certain that he has created a feeling of unrest and alarm in this State Capital is very sensitive; con- fidence can easily be destroyed; and 1t seems to be the object of the Conner ties to destroy confidence. As MT. Motion says. there 4s grave danger ahead, a danger that can be warded off by choosing a more conservative man than Mir. Conner for Governor.
 Fortunately, we have such man In the Lieukenant Governor, whose quail fications are very justly described by Mir Motion. What we want in Ala bama is reform, without prejudice--a fair treatment of all ihterests-and this we can get by electing pr. Cum ningham We would run great risk of getting what we do not want if we ehould elect Mir Conner.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST s, aeOs.
A MoMENToUs QUERY ANSWERED.

A friend and subscriber writes the letter printed below. which was turned over to the information editor for re- ply:
 Hope Hull. Ala, Aug. 2. 1906 Editor Advertiser:
 I see a great deal in your excellent paper about the Peek-a-boo Waist I am not much troubled about female apparel as a usual thing, but I must confess this worried me and I asked the women of my family as to what 1t was. They requested their friends in your city to answer the inquiry. but we have no response.
 saw in your paper that a man in Philadelphia had been found guilty of assault and battery for having tlckled q woman with a straw through a Peek-a-Boo waist
 We poor country people are very Ignorant, but l and others would ask your gallant editor who should he posted, to let us know what that ter rible waist is.
 We are not conscious of the fact that has been brought to our notice by the inuuiring reader; that we have been dsvoting much space and brain work to the subject of the ''Peek-A- Boo" waist. but we are not ignorant Of the character. methods. merits and aemerits of the bit of feminine wear ing apparel that seems to have been most interesting reading matter to the gentleman who might have been dewoting himself to sporting news. real estate exchanging or tips on cotton. That is. we are not ignorant now. for since receiving his letter of inquiry. we have neglected other affairs of state. sought the tutorship of mum 1ner of members of the fair sex, and become educated on this momentous, but misty subject
 The Peek-A-Boo waist is an article of exquisite fineness, dainty texture and a thinness that is charming-or. putting 1t better, a thinness that charms An extreme filminess and an adorning of open work embroid- cry or lace. with meshes of cobweb Transparency are it's prominent char acteristics. If a man goes to pur- chase his wife a Peek-A- Boo waist, he finds that he has exchanged a ten dollar bill for package, the contents Of which could be drawn through her Iodyships finger ring. When milady Is to don a Peek-A-Boo waist she first attires herself in daintiest fash ion as if to go to an evenings en- tertainment. or have her picture talk en with all sorts of bows of pink or blue baby ribbon, fastening the lace trimmed waist garment in place. She in other words. attires herself as she wishes to be seen. Then she veils the pretty effect with a Peek-A-Boo waist which does not to any great extent, obstruct tht view
 Why is it called a Peek-A-Boo waist?
 Don't you see?
 What would you do if pretty wo- man attired in this manner were talking to you?
 In getting educated on the subject of the Peek-A-Boo waist we find that 1t Is a thing of beauty,-prevaillng style. that is a joy and that it gets It's name from its dainty nothingness- It's suggestive qualities-so to speak. and not from any particular manner of cut or style of material Next!

CUNNINGHAM, THE MAN.

The people of Alabama should de- sire in the Chief Executive ofice man of firm convictions. who Is not moved to change by every passing whim, or influenced by personal or selfish considerations.
 There are only two candidates seek ing the Democratif nomination for Governor. and VI insist that Lieuten- ant Governor Cunningham comes up to the requirements above outlined and that Mr. B. B. Conner does not
 Lieutenant Governor Cunningham. before the views of Mir. Conner as to railroads were even heard of. favored the creation of e Railroad Commits sion for this State that, had other than merely advisory power. He voted for such a measure. introduced by Mir. Langdon in the Legislature of 1sse-sf and declined to vote for emas- cuiated bill returned to the House from the Senate. Of that bill. the first and~ succeeding commissioners bitterly complained because of its lack of power. The present law has life and powers and to that extent. Is like the one favored by .Dr. Cunningham twenty-six years ago.
 pr, Cunningham has every where declared his belief in the regu- lation of railroad rates. He believes they should be as low as those of neighborins States. particularly speci- flying the Georgia rates and just as low as compliance with justice. law and equity will permit He has never swerved from this position. He Is a man of even temper. fairness and judi cial mindedness.
 Mr. Conner has torn passion into tatters" for the past three years. as he was elected to the Presidency of the Railroad Commission he began to scheme to get off of 1t. He first said This wicked partners" the other two commissioners wouldn't let him do anything. Then in face of this decla- ration. he said the law was no good and that the Legislature must fix rates. This let's out his wicked part ners. Of course, sensible people see the folly of legislative made rates. which can only be changed every four years. Especially do they see the ridiculousness of such a proposition when the railroad commission under the law has ample power to regulate rates.
 Mir. Conner then declared ir favor of making the wicked Alabama rates the maximum rates and letting the com mission which he declares, is power less, lower them as circumstances and conditions required Since then he has declared for fixing for Alabama. the rates fixed in Georgia on 100 ar ticles and gives the go by to more than 5000 other articles. The truth is, Mir. Conner has been shifting his ground just as he thought emergency required. He is not safe man in temperament nor a wise man in any sense of the word. The people do not need such a man in any high office.

value of Military Frills.

New York Times.
 Colonel Willard Hunsicker, the Euro pean representative of the United States Steel Corporation who handed in his resignation last week. credits some of his early successes as a sales man of American products in Asia to the same military connection to which he owes his title. According to the colonel's story. when he first entered the field in the Orient he found the European commercial representatives strongly intrenched behind the pres tige of their respective nations mill tary and naval contingents. It was before the days of our own imperial ism and the colonel was in despair of properly impressing his prospective customers with the greatness of things American until he conceived the happy idea of being his own martial display. He got out his military togs and took to wearing on every possible occasion all the gold lace the fullest full dress of colonel would permit. The effect was magical, as he tells the story. and thereafter his rivals were never in the race.
