TO THE PUBLIC.

We, the members of the Gem OF
the Mountain Club, are" sending
forth this issue not as a memorial OF
Womall's Clab life. Our object
might be considered as three-fold:
First, we are anxious for you to
know more about this charming val
ley in which we live; second, it is 4
business undertaking as we ar,
anxious to accrue some money, with
which To furnish our clubs room /:
third, we had woman's curiosit,
to see what il was like to run d
newspaper, anyway.
As we are about to go to press,
the effect OF the first object remains
to he scen; the result of the second
IL thing to be hoped for, while tn,
realization of the third more than
satisfies us. We have gone out from
our homes into new fields in dong
this. We have learned little mor
about business, a little more of TIL

man nature, and haye become bette
acquainted with our town and coun
.ty. AS club, weg have had one
more test Of our strength in steam
work" and we know each othe,
better.
We have worked up this edition
in q remarkably short time and
while ii falls short of our ideal W.
hope you will derive some pleasure
from IT.
We regret that lack of space pre-.
vents us publishing all the good ar.
ticles that have been given us. We
found it necessary to cut some OF
the articles that were furnished, il
order to get as great variety Of
reading matter as possible in the
issue. An article written by Thomas
TFsteight was of SO much historic in
terest that 70 have cut it would hay,
destroyed the sense Of the article
and it being too good to reject, the
editor has kindly agreed to publish
it in the Examiner IN the near flu

She was revived by rolling on a barrel After regaining conscious ness she broke away from her rescuers, threw herself fiat in shallow pool and held her head under water until again dragged out.
 Letten went before a grand jury to- day and confessed to his dedication. He also issued a written statement about the Reed woman in which he said he gave her $90, 1000 between .Janu- ary, 1908, and the present month. He offered no explanation for giving her such a large sum except to say that the first $500 was given to furnish her a house.

GEN. OLIVER LAUDS
 THE NEGRO TROOPS

Washington. Sept. i3.--Anticipating probable criticism of the assignment of the 24th negro regiment of infantry to Madison Barracks and Fort Ontario, N. Y., on their return from the Philip pines, the War Department has eom- piled data showing the service of that organization. Except two months in Florida and four months following in Cuba in 1898, the regiment has never been stationed east of the Mississippi river. d
 officials of the Department say the four negro regiments. two cavalry and two infantry, with but unimportant exceptions have had no service east of the Mississippi river or north of the Mason and Dixon line.
 General Oliver, acting Secretary of War, today said the question of color did not enter into the assignment and that the 24th had simply taken it's turn in relieving the 23rd. If people believe they are being discriminated against in having q locality. the remedy, he said. lies with Congress- He declared that there are less assertions with better discipline and more re-enlistments in the black regiments than the average white regiments.
