Uncle Sam Make. Bad Loan.

Washington.-Treas officials have
practically admitted that the $1,000
900 loan by Congress to the jamestown
exposition and the additional money ex-
pended from federal funds for construc-
ton work on the fair, will be dead
loss to the government.
Acting Secretary Edwards has had
under consideration for some time the
scheme of assuming charge of the ex-
position and retaining the gate re-
ceipts as a partial return Of the gov
ernment's loan.
Under this arrangement the run
ming expenses would. of course, also
have to be paid from the federal till.
and 1t was finally concluded that the
admission to the grounds we're not suf-
ficiently great to meet those expenses.
BY the act of Congress granting loan
to the exposition company. the only
redress the treasury oficials have is
to levy on the receipts. 1t is under
stood that these are only between 5000
and 1000 paid admissions to the
grounds daily.

D. F. Chandler. who will represent
America In the coming long distance
balloon races, recently made success
full flight from St. Louis to Jacksonville.
Illinois. covering the distance OF almost
LOG miles In three hours and ten min
utes.
The flight, which was the first of a
number of experimental ones to be
made before the international events
open on October 21st was without spe-
cial incident. and the aeronauts said
they could have remained in the air at
least four hours longer had they de-
sired to face a night voyage in the
small balloon they we're using.
Toward the end of the voyage the
balloon passed through heavy rain
storm, but a few minutes OF sunshine
dried the envelope and the balloon af-
terward rose to height Of u mile.

OF how marriage was performed by
long distance telephone-the bride
groom being in New York, the bride In
ST. Louis-was revealed yesterday in

Ninety-first street, applied to Justice
Mccall through her attorneys for an
increase OF alimony from 81 week to
$50. pending the trial of her suit for
separation from Frank NJ Applebaum
manager of big Manhattan clothing
firm.
1t developed that in August, 1899,
when Applebaum was widower, his
first wife having been the sister of the
present one, he called st. Louis on the
telephone and got the woman who is
now endeavoring to sever the marriage
ties. He proposed and was accepted
and when all legal arrangements had
been made the pair were united "by
wire"
Their married life. however, was not
so smooth as the telephone service,
Mrs. Applebaum alleging that her hus-
band for one year after the birth OF a
child lived with a certain woman up
town as her husband. Applebaum's
lawyers deny this.

Mr.. Gilbert. who is wealthy and

China After ideas.

Slowly but surely modern ideas are
getting q foothold in China. The ap-
pointment OF a commission to visit
Japan, Great Britain and Germany
with view to examining and report
ing upon the working of constitution
ri systems in those countries il full
Of Significance, which is increased be-
cause Of the character OF those chosen
for the service. These are men Of the
most progressive spirit. Further
more. they represent the aspirations
of the real Chinese rather than the
purposes of the Manchus. who to =
large extent are an alien element, al
though they have managed to fasten
their power upon the government and
to perpetuate dynasty which has
been a constant source OF political
friction. The voice of awakened
China is making itself heard and IL
likely to be more insistent in demand
ing changes and reforms that shall be
for the benefit Of all the people. And
much Of this impetus to better things
comes from Chinese who have been
educated In the United States ~ have
lived here long enough to see how lib
eral government works.

Hot Box Caused the Explosion.

Fontanet. Ind.-The latest estimates
of the destruction wrought by the ex'
plosion at the Dupont powder mills
Tuesday morning is that thirty-eight
persons were killed. 600 injured, fifty
seriously, and property loss of ap-
proximately $750.0O0 caused From
William Sparrow. employed in the
glazing mill. 1t was learned that a
hot box" due to loo much friction on
the shafting, causing sparks to be
transmitted to some loose powder. was
in all probability the cause OF the ter
rible catastrophe.
Sparrow, who is dangerously hurt
as the result OF the explosion. said:
1.-The explosion was caused by loosc
boxing on the shaft The day before
the explosion happened we had to
throw water on the boxing when 1t
became too hot. This time 1t got too
hot and sent off the sparks that caused
the explosion"

Greeley, Colo.-Thursday was the
first pay day in this district for beet
growers and sugar factory employees
for the campaign OF 1907-08. Farmers
did not begin to dig beets until Septem-
Der 23d. but up to October 1st nearly
10000 tons of beets had been delivered
at the factories in Greeley, Eaton and
Windsor. Manager Granger reports that
$150,000 was paid 10 growers In the dis
trict for their September deliveries,
each factory paying $4,000. The Oc-
tober delivery will represent triple this
amount and November's delivery will
be large. Factory employees from Oc-
tober list to today have received $751;
900 at each of the factories making a
total expense to date of $4,000.
The beets are averaging fourteen
tons an acre and their sugar contents
is more satisfactory than ever. Today
farmers began SLIDING one-fourth their
crop. Manager Granger says there is
no dissatisfaction regarding the silo-
ing as it is done when the farmers
have laborers in the field to handle the
crop and the sliced portion can be
marketed at convenient seasons. 1t is
believed by this arrangement all beets
will be taken from the ground by No
yember 18th and the arduous labor of
digging after freezing weather avoided.

Japanese Getting Wise.

Washington.-Mail advices from
China show that British residents in
the Far East have been stirred to in
dignation by the attempts of Japan
ese distillers to palm off spurious

Japan. The favorite brands Of the

that the labels were not similar to the
genuine Scotch whisky labels.

Once Rich He Dies Poor.

enty-eight. died recently. He was one
of the oldest mining men in the district

time immensely wealthy.

roads into San Francisco. through
which he derived fortune. He in
vested his earnings judiciously and his
savings grew until he WAS ut one time

name" side OF the race suicide argu-
ment.
There is no thoughtful woman in
America" said Mrs. Stevenson, who
has not been more than startled by the
appeal for larger families. While this
appeal has been most urgent, do not
recall that there has been one word in
reference to the health or life of the
mother, nor has the ability OF the
mother physically, mentally, morally
spiritually or financially to rear chill
dren been touched upon.
1.-The question should not be how
many children, but their condition and
what kind of citizens they will make.
The plea that some thought should be
given to prolonging the life of the
mother and thus protect the babes,
should occupy first place in the work
of mother clubs. The size of the fam
lily is of less Importance"

A Point In Law.

Denver.-Whether the state has
right to acquire water rights is the
substance of question which the
State Land Board has submitted to
Attorney General Dickson. The attor-
ney general will look up the law at
an early date. as the board has many
applications for reservoir sites. etc.
the applicants agreeing to pay for
same III water rights instead of cash,
as the board uniformly demands.
The recent application Of the Or
lando Land and Water Company for q
large tract of land in Pueblo county
for reservoir purposes has brought the
matter definitely before the board.
This company would like to transfer
water rights for each alternate section.
Propositions of similar nature but
involving smaller amounts OF land are
constantly coming before the board.
and it frequently happens that the
acquisition of water rights would be
of direct benefit to the state, enabling
it to command higher prices for its
lands.

COAL MINERS ASK A RAISE.
II Demands Are Not Met There May
be Strike IN Colorado.

Florence, Colo.-The coal mine
workers of Rockville, Coal Creek and
Fremont assembled in the Rockville
opera house and formulated and pre-
scented the following demand upon the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company:
"First-An eight.hour day, with the
present wages of $2.95 now received
for ten hours.
"Second-Fifteen cents per ton in
crease on the mining for which they
are now receiving S5 cents.
"Third-Two dollars per yard for
brushing or taking down top In the
rooms for which they are at present
receiving $1.50."
They also demanded check weigh
man whose place shall be In the weigh
Office where he can check up the
weight of each miners coal. This is
movement of he employees exclu-
sively and is absolutely Independent
of any labor organization. While the
men are mostly union members, they
could not agree upon a scale of in
crease as an organization, because OF
the friction occurring between the
United Mine Workers and the West
ern Federation Of Miners, both of
which wanted control.
The three mines which are threat
ened with a strike employ about 1000
men. There is possibility of the EN-
ployes getting the increase, as many
of them are leaving for other mining
camps where the work is steady and
the wages higher. At the present time
all of these mines are falling below
their normal production of coal, owing
to the lack of men, and it is believed
that the company rather than suffer
further loss will grant the increase.

EoerIa Coal Land Case Settled.

Denver-The State Land Board has
settled the Egeria Park coal lease mat
ter. A new lease for ten years for that
part of the land which had been de-
veloped or improved was granted to
the Colorado Coal & Lumber Company
at an increased rental.
This Egeria land matter is a legacy
from Register Mark Woodruff, who was
relieved from duty by the Republican
administration year ago. Woodruff
undertook to grant forty-year extern
sion to the Egeria Coal Company. This
fraud was discovered by Register John
F. Vivian, Woodruff's successor, and
Immediately on its discovery the mat
ter was made public and steps were
taken to cancel the extension, and the
present board did make the cancella-
ton without hesitation.
