Campbell Bros. show

Tuesday was an unusual day in Au-
dubon having both a circus and a
Chautauqua. The Circus did not ar
rive until about nine O'Clock, though
the small boy and his father had been
watching since day light. AS early
as ten o'clock a large crowd lined the
streets 10 waiting for the parade; and
they waited until 1:30 before itappear,
ed. The cause of the waiting was the
loss of twenty-five hands the day be-
fore because of a strike. When the
show was over at night the actors
themselves had to lay hold and help
load. The show was not one of the
largest but the performance was good
and so far as we could see or hear. il
was clean and exemplary in all its de-
partments.

The Limit of Life

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the at
tainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed, the critical period, that de-
terminates its duration, seems to be
between fifty and sixty; theproper care
of the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Nature s
best helper after fifty is Electric Bit

Extra Echoes.
JEFFERSON 3: EXTRA {


Extra, down in Audubon county,
surprised Manager Kendall by APP
pearing Thursday with one of the best
teams that has been here this season,
being a bunch gathered fort the express
purpose of making two weeks trip
of winning base ball. Their pitcher,
Monk Reese, of Des Moines, could
not make his curves break in the gale
of Thursday and the Champs landed
on him for ten hits while LaVelle had
them pretty much at his mercy, and
never allowed anyone to get past sec
ond base. The locals oozed pepper
from every pore, and played with
great dash and brilliancy, being
charged with but single error. The
score was

On Friday Reese again faced the
both on the slab and with the stick,
winning the game for Extra with his
home run and two base hit. The
home run was of extremely shady
character; being generally adjudged a
| foul which got lost in the grass; but
post mortems are idle things in ball
games, and it is better to cheerfully
give the plucky visitors full credit of
their victory. LeMaster pitched a
good game, yielding Extra only seven
hits, but five errors by the Champs at
critical junctures cost them the victo-
ry, the visitors securing their winning
run in the ninth by virtue of an error
and Reeses' two Dagger. The Champs
were trifle overcontident, the danger
of defeat never entering their heads
until it was too late to recover. The

MUST ANSWER TO
BLACKMAIL CHARGE

LOS ANGELEs, Sept. 30. y.
.Whyte Evans, capitalist, real estate
man and former president of the
United Street Railways of Portland,
Or, appeared in Justice Selph's court
today to prosecute Dr. J. s. Owens,
whom he accuses of attempted extor
tion on pain of exposure of Evans
penitentiary record,
Evans identified the letters which
he said had been written him by DR..
Owens, demanding the payment of
sums of money
At the end of the examination, in
the course Of which there was con-
siderable argument between opposing
counsel, DR.. Owens was held to an
swer to the Superior Court on two
counts of alleged blackmail. Bond in
each was fixed at $4,000.
The two letters on which the
charges are based were written from
Los Angeles to Evans while the latter
was at Portland. Both contained an
abundance of artistic invictive that IS
worthy of being classed as literature.
In both the writer demands the pay
ment of certain alleged just debts.
There is no direct threat to expose
Evans but the prosecution held, and
the court ruled, that threat was
clearly implied by pointed illusions
to penitentiary sentence served by
Evans and to alleged shady dealings
of the latter.

Forces of the Guggenheim railroad,
the Copper River and Northern, shot
and wounded six surveyors and work.
men employed by the Alaska Home
Railway in Keystone canyon fifteen
miles from Valdez, yesterday. The
party was making a preliminary sur
vey for the Home Railroad, which is
planned from Valdez to the Summit.
The men had advanced about 100
yards up the canyon when they were
surprised by an ambush of the Gug-
genheim men, headed by Edward
Hassey, an ex-United States marshal.
Hassey saw the surveyors and order
ed them to stop, saying his men
would shoot If any further advance
was made. The surveyors believed
that Hassey was bluffing and contin-
ued work. They were met by a fusi-
lade of bullets.
Only meager details have-been re-
ceived of the battle between the Gug-
genheiy forces and Home Railway
men ntn9 Valdez, but it is reported
that one man was killed and three
more may die from their wounds.
The cable says that the wounded men
were shot at from ambush and had
no chance to escape or make fight.
1t is stated that deputy United States
marshals armed with rifles left Inn
mediately for the scene and at the
latest reports were securing the
woods for the guilty persons. An am
Ibulance was also sent to the canyon
One of the men shot is named Hick-
man. The advices state that popular
feeling is running higher and that
citizens are talking of wreaking sum

LICENSE GIVEN AN
ALASKAN ROAD

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.--The
war department today granted a Ii
cense to the Alaska Home Railway
company to construct line of rail-
road through Keystone canyon, Alas
ka. The canyon is military reser-
vation and is the only means of en-
trance to the rich copper fields which
the railroad company desires to
reach. The Copper River and North
western Railroad company has had
license to build road through the
canyon for some time, and there has
been much rivalry between the two
companies for the right to use the
pass Recently several workmen were
wounded in riot between employees
of rival companies.
The license was regarded as so i'm
portant that it was wired to the com
pany. General Greedy commanding
the department of the Columbia, has
been instructed to protect the com.
pany In it's rights under the license.
