ACHURCHDESTROYED
BAPTIST EDHFICE IN EuFAULA IS
 BURNED,
Lightning Strikes steeple and Flames Consume Building Despite Ef- forts of Ffremen During
 n Hard Rain.

Eufaula, Aug. 13.-(Special. )--Dur- ing a severe wind, rain and thunder storm that swept over this city yes- terday afternoon, lightning struck the steeple of the First Baptist Church. which caused it to catch fire.
 Although the alarm was turned in promptly and the fire department worked heroically. and the rain poured in great torrents, every effort to stop the spread of the flames proved fruit less, and 1t was soon communicated to the building. It was not until a late hour last night that they were un- der control. and this morning the mag niicent edifice is a mass of ruins, with the bare walls standing.
 The church was decidedly the hand somest in the city. It was erected in 1s69-70 at cost approximating $4o.00o. and was beautifully furnished through out The lower story was used as a Sunday School room and the upper as the auditorium. The steepie was per- haps 125 feet high and was struck about half way. The downpour of rain seemed to have no effect towards quenching the flames, but rather to ag- gravAte them.
 Just before the flames communicated with the building the steeple toppled with a mighty crash, and later on, as palling. The street was thronged and every assistance was rendered the fire men, but without effect in saving any thing. It was thought for some time residences adjoining would catch fire but fortunately this was averted.
 A handsome pipe organ valued at $1,500, and a beautiful memorial win dow recently presented by Mrs. Mary Thornton, of this city. in honor of her husband, were totally destroyed.
 Rev. M B. Wharton, the pastor, is absent in Carolina enjoying his annual vacation and it Is not known whether he has heard of the disaster. The building was insured for $10,00o.

 It is well known that in the senate the Massachusetts statesman oIten sets as the mouth piece of President Roosevelt and whenever he makes announcement of party policy u gen orally is recognized as RooseVelt' rather than Lodge, who IS speaklhs' If this holds true as to his Dorches- ter speech, it is one of the most im- portant contributions yet made to the campaign now waging for next year Republican presidential nomination.
 For several years it has been well understood that President Roosevelt believed the tariff schedule should pc revised. but in order to get through his railroad >rate program and other remedial. legislation he consented to forego insistency on his tarin pohcy. There have been rumors from lime 10 time that the President had been con bprted to standpatism. but these have not been given credence in well-ln- formed circles. When Secretary CT War Taft came out in the open as candi- date For the presidency, one oA HIS first public utterances was deciara- ton in favor-of revision of the tariir. As Mir Taft is regarded as the ad- ministration's candidate for the White House succession, 1t was assumed thar his tariff platform was the platform or the administration. As the President did not speak through any of his us- uai channels, however, the matter had 10 be taken on faith.

MONTANA POOL
ROOMS CUT OUT

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 3.-All Mon
tana poolrooms have been put out of
business through the telegraphers'
strike. Yesterday A. w. Martin of
San Francisco, who is one of the own
ers of the syndicate which furnishes
racing news to the poolrooms, arrived
in the city, accompanied by Charles E.
Meyers of California, with the inten-
ton of furnishing the service over the
Western Union wires.
The syndicate had been receiving it's
results over a telephone wire from Sc
attic, but this worked very unsatisfac-
tory, being either grounded or open at
not infrequent intervals, and it was his
intention to supplant this with a wire
leased from the Western Union.
Meyers was put at work receiving
the news from Seattle, but the first
message he received was refused
transmission by one of the union oper-
ators employed in the race bureau
here. Martin, who is himself a former
telegraph operator, then essayed to
transmit the matter to the Butte and
Anaconda poolrooms, but the .. union
men in those offices promptly inform
ed him that they would receive no
news which came over either the
Western Union or Postal wires, adding
that it would be suicidal to essay to
do business in those cities over "un
fair wires.
Martin told them that he was pay
ing even better than the union scale,
but admitted that he had received the
results over Western Union wires.
This was unsatisfactory to the various
receiving union operators, however, so
Martin was unable to do any business.
The presence of Martin and Myers
Leo to the report that they were
strike breakers from the Twin Cities,
they being mistaken for other teleg-
raphers. Thus the poolrooms, includ-
ing Helena, are now without service,
and Geographically speaking Montana
is quite effectively tied up. Martin
and Meyers have left for Chicago.

BOY TO
WRITE BOOK

CALDWELL, Idaho, Sept. 3.-Law-
renee N. GIBSON, the Rhodes scholar
for Idaho at oxford university, arrived
home last Saturday and since then has
been busy shaking hands with old
friends.
Mr.. Gipson was elected to this schol-
arship in 1904, and went with the first
group of Americans to England He
says that tht reception which ne and
his friends received from the English
men was most cordial, in spite of the
fact that there were many different
ways of saying things and doing
things, which caused much natural
amusement.
He considers that the University Of
Oxford, for general efficiency along
certain lines, has hardly a rival. How
ever the institution has preserved
numberless old customs which today
have quite lost their significance. Men
are still prohibited, according to the
university, from shooting the cross
bows on High street, and the playing
likewise prohibited.
While at Oxford Mr. Gipson confined
himself largely to the study of history,
economics and political science, and
was awarded honors in the final school
of modern history
During his absence he travelled ex-
tensively, visiting Germany, France,
Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary,
Greece, Turkey and the Balkan states.
Everywhere that he journeyed, Mr..
Gipson made many acquaintance. He
spent much time in studying the polit-
ical and social problems of the differ
ent people and gathering much inter-
esting information in regard to their
habits of life.
Mr.. GIBSON is most enthusiastic over
the idea of the Rhodes scholarships.
He feels that it is bound to help the
different countries of Europe, and
especially England to understand bet
ter American civilization, and that the
not only in allowing typical young
Americans to get the European point
of view in regard to many things
which may be helpful, but what is
more important, allowing these same
American young men from every state
in the Union to mingle freely with one
another and to sympathize more INTEL
ligently with the purposes of each Sec
ton of this country.
Although Mr.. Gipson left in England
host of friends and has come from
beautiful, restful island country, he
declares that his whole heart and soul
are still with the West. He will prob
ably accept a scholarship in one of the
Northwestern institutions. 1t may
likewise be of interest to his many
friends throughout the state to know
that he is engaged in writing a book
which will be a study of some of the
more interesting English Characters
tics.

new CHAMPION
WELTERWEIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-Labor
day gave to the world new welter-
weight champion, and supplied one OF
the greatest fights in teh ring annals
OF California. In the thirty second
round of a scheduled Aground contest
under Marquis of Queensberry rules,
at Coffroths Mission street arena, yes
terday afternoon, Young Ketchel of
Butte, Montana, knocked out Champion
Joe Thomas, of San Francisco, in tho
presence of 5000 people. Not until the
champion had gone to the floor four
times in quick succession did his Sec
onds throw up the sponge. He was so
badly punished that he had to be car
ried to his corner, and it was several
minutes before he opened his eyes and
asked dazedly: What's the matter?"
Referee Billy Roche summed it up
accurately when he said: 1T was the
greatest fight I ever refereed. After
the sixteenth round it was either mans
vistory who had the winning punch"
Though the bulk of the money and
80 per cent of the roofing were for the
native son, both before and during the
fight and after it was over winners and
losers alike joined in three thunderous
cheers for the fallen idol. No man
ever put up a gamer fight than he.
"The best man won," was his frank
acknowledgment when the breath that
had been pounded out of him came

Have you not noticed that he is not
dressed in all respects like the other
gentlemen present-that, though he
has not donned his overcoat, he has
put on, somewhat prematurely, one
might say, the large silk handkerchief
he presumably wears under it? Have
you not noticed this and asked your
self why?"

as to what l should do If, by my own
mistaken zeal, had succeeded in
plmging the man l loved yet deeper
into the tolls in which he had become
enmeshed.
The inspector left me no time for the
settlement of this question. Ushering
me back into the room where Mr.. Du
rand and my uncle awaited our return
IN apparently unrelieved silence, he
closed the door upon the curious eyes
of the various persons still lingering in
the hall and abruptly said to Mr.. Du-
rand:
"The explanations you have been
pleased to give of the manner In which
this diamond came into your possession
are not too fanciful for credence, If you
can satisfy US on another point which
has awakened some doubt in the mind
of one of my men. Mr.. Durand, you
appear to have prepared yourself for
departure somewhat prematurely. Do
you mind removing that handkerchief
for a moment? My reason for SO pecul-
lar request will presently appear"
Alas, for my last fond hope! Mr.. Du-
rand, with face as white as the back
ground of snow framed by the incur
tanned window against which he lean
ed, lifted his hand as If to comply with
the inspectors request, then let 1t fall
