and showed the effects Of his worry
when subjected to the gaze of curl
GUS crowd on his way to police head
quarters Mrs. Carter bore her arrest
with nonchalance.
What has become of $4,000 Of the
trust company's stolen funds is still a
mystery so far as the public is con-
cerned. Runyan had in his possession
when arrested $54,410 OF the bal
ance he said he lost about $4,000 in
speculation in stocks before he disap-
peared from the office Of the Windsor
Trust company June 20; that he had
given $4,000 to Mrs. Carter and, that
he believed she had taken $4,000
more without his knowledge.
Mrs. Carter at first stoutly denied
that she had any Of the trust COM
pany's funds, admitting that Runyan
gave her $4,000, but asserting that she
promptly returned it to him at his re-
quest. While on her way to court,
however, she said she had deposited

PAWNEE BILLS WILD WEST
and GREAT FAR EAST
Has Many Unique and Interesting Fea.
tures.-WiII Exhibit Here on
Saturday.

All people, of whatever class or
cline, indulge in some narcotic or
drug. Those of the Singhalese are
arrack, tobacco, fungi and the
Indian hemp. The use of the latter
is very general, and it's exhilarating
effects are not unlike those of opium.
1t is either smoked like tobacco or
formed into a paste and chewed.
The Singhalese camp of the Pawnee
Bill show is frequently the gather
ing place of American men and
women who seek permission to
experiment with the drug.
Pawnee Bill seldom gives consent
and then, reluctantly, for the reac-
ton is very distressing. A Nash
vile, Tenn, society woman who
bribed one of the natives was found
in a stupor from over-indulgence in
the hemp. From a dreamy and
delightful elysium she had become
dull and heavy under its influence,
her American physician was unable
to restore her to her senses. The
Singhalese applied some mysterious
native connection and she was set
right again, with the fixed purpose
to do no more exploring in East
Indian customs.
Pawnee Bills Wild West will show
in Bemidji next Saturday. =

ONLY SOLUTION OF QUESTION
Bryan Would Give Trust Magnates a
Long Term in Prison..

Long Term in Prison.
Warsaw, Ind, July S-"Send John
D. Rockefeller and dozen other trust
magnates to prison for long term of
years and one of the most vital ques-
tions before the people Of this country
will have been solved" declared Will
lam Jennings Bryan at a banquet
given in his honor by DR.. Sol G.
Dickey, president of the Winona Lake
assembly. - ~ .-,,.- H., -. - ,-
president Roosevelt and others
are now bringing to a successful issue
the principles and ideas 1 advocated
seventeen years ago." Mr.. Bryan con-
tinued. "This is particularly true as
regards the tariff. The president is
compiling my future speeches for me-"
Mr.. Bryan took fling at the pres
ident's cabinet, saying that there was
not a man in it who agreed with
Roosevelt. Referring to the contro-
versy between the United States and
Japan Mr.. Bryan, who, during his trip
around the world, visited the Eastern
empire, said little more backbone at
Washington would settle the differ
ences for all time to come without
conflict between the two nations.
Japan will follow in the path of
Spain and other nations once powerful
unless there is religious awakening
in that country" he said. There is
one thing that can save Japan and
that is the spread of Christianity.'

ton congress. 1t will be a two. weeks
series of festivals and jubilee held In

terest to the east as well as to the west.
The principal feature of the celebration
will be a magnificent irrigation parade.

parade will be the great Chinese water

waters with which to flood their rice
paddys thousands of years ago.
The electrical street illuminations will
be most elaborate.
Festoons of incandescents will be every
where, while prominent corners will be
adorned with electrical windmills and
other special designs, all typifying irri-
cation.
Other features will be fruit feasts, car
nivals harbor jubilees and elaborate
musical and social functions, steamboat
and yacht excursions on board the Sacra-
mento and railroad excursions over the
state.
The Interstate exposition of irrigated

petition is now complete and consists of
twenty magnificent loving cups provided
by prominent westerners at az cost of
from $3.50 to $1,000 each. Prizes to the

MARKSMAN SHOOTS FOR
COMRADE; is DISGRACED
Soldier Tries to Aid His Friend in
Rifle Match, but Is Discovered
and Loses His Own
Laurels
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
PACIFIC GROVE, Cal, Aug. "a
curious instance of misdirected friendship
which involves new offense against mill
tary law occurred at the Presidio of Mon
terey in connection with the Pacific small
arms competition, which was finished yes
terday.
One of the best soldiers among the en-
listed men and fifth in order of marks
manship at the opening of the shoot was
Sergeant William H. Spree of Troop +,
Fourteenth cavalry He had friend
ambitious to obtain a place on the rifle
team going to the Fort Sheridan ma
tional competition. His friend was less
sure shot.
The rifle range at the Presidio is cut
through pine forest, and Spree, hiding
behind convenient cover fired from
there at a target at which his friend
was supposed to be aiming when the
signal was given. The friend fired wide
SO as not to show any surplus of bullet
marks.
On one occasion Spree withheld his fire
too long and his shot rang oTt after the
rest of the squad had ceased. This, of
course. aroused the suspicion of the
authorities and on investigation Spree
was discovered, taken to the guard house
and his name struck from the rolls of the
competition He now awaits trial for his
novel offense.
