having been afflicted with 1t for twelve
years. Taking this as symptom of
kidney trouble, and seeing Doan's

The hardest thing at first was learning
the codes and how to read the regular
telegraph messages. After We learned
this, things came easy. Bakers 'Tele-
graphing Through the Air was the
book that gave US the most help.
SEEKS MESSAGE NONE CAN TAKE
Then we began to build our appa-
ratus. At first none of the things
would work, but we kept at it and
finally it came little by little. We had
great trouble getting the aerialS right,
but found out our mistakes in the end.
Now everything works pretty well, but
there's a lot more work to be done.
We can get messages from Aca-
pulcO, Bremerton, the F'arallones, Mare
Island and Yerba Buena. What I'm
working on now is to find out how to
send a message whAch nobody can re-
ceive, but the person it is intended for.
1t looks pretty hard, but / think 1 can
do it with a little more study.
II remember when the talk of war
with Japan was very strong some
months ago that could take the mes
sages that were exchanged by the Of

to think that there was nothing in the
talk, but more of them said you never
could tell what was to happen these
days.

peating a message If 1 thought it was

BASEBALL SHOW
AT ORPHEUM

The entertainment to be given at the
Orpheum tonight by the members of
the Riverside Baseball League prom
ises to be something unusual in base
ball circles. The boys who will take
part in this have been rehearsing for
the past three weeks and do well in
their try-outs. If the boys can do just
as we'll in acting as playing baseball,
the public have a good treat in store
for them
The musical part of the program to
be given, is to be of an international
nature and among those to take part
will be Hawaiian musicians, japanese
vocalists, Chinese artists, American
actors and black face comedians. There
will also be some good choruses, fun
ny stories and several very clever
drills. Among these, will be base
BAN parade that will include all the
teams who have been playing at Aala
park for the past four months.
The following committee is in charge
of the affair: w. Tin Chong, chair

Prospective buyers of 1908 cars can
visit few repair shops with profit to
themselves" said F. L. Smith of the
Oldsmobile company. IF I We're going
to buy a car tomorrow I should visit
five or six of the large repair shops
and find out what make of cars were
most often found in those places. A
person about to buy a car can secure
inside information that will greatly
aid him in selecting a reliable auto
mobile. The average automobile owner,
even though he is more or less familiar
with all the various makes of cars,
will be surprised to know what makes
are more often found in the repair
shops Some cars, the makers of which
do the most talking, are always pres
ent in the repair shop.
This suggestion may not be worth
anything to the man who never inves-
tigates, but it.should prove most prof
liable to the conservative man who
expects and demands service for every
dollar he puts into an automobile

USES EVANS NAME.

Helm said he frequently uses the
names of Fighting BOB Evans and
other mighty men of the sea when he
is querying a warship for information
Once just for fun, as he expressed it,
he ordered a cruiser about to sail to
delay its departure. Something wrong
was evidently suspected, for the cruiser
sailed and Helm was deprived of 'ex-
periencing how it felt to be an admiral
To be the better prepared in their

special study of the Continental code,

In the hearing to-day, however, 1t ap-

missed the writ, holding it within tho
discretion of the board to make i'm

be appealed.
This is the second case Mr.. Ransom

the news that financial aid has been

This money wiz be used to meet the

LOWER RATES; BOOST PROFITS
South Dakota railroad Commissioners Answer Allegations
Railways Which Have Secured Restraining Order
to Prevent PASSENGER Rate Reductions

A return in behalf Of the state
board of railroad commissioners to
the order to show cause in the case
involving the proposed reduction Of
passenger rates on all standard-gauge
railroads in South Dakota from 3 to
2 1-2 cents per mile has been filed in
the United States court in Sioux Falls
by P. w. Dougherty, assistant attor.
ney general of South Dakota and
counsel of the board of railroad COM
missioners
Some weeks ago the railroads hav-
ing lines in South Dakota and which
are resisting the reduction secured a
temporary restraining order prevent
ing the railroad commissioners from
putting the reduced rate into effect
pending hearing in the case, which
will be held on Dec. II before Judge
Garland of the federal court. At that
time the railroads will endeavor to
have the railroad commissioners per-
manently enjoined from putting the
reduced rate into effect. The return
of Attorney Dougherty is in connec-
ton with the intention of the railroad
commissioners to show cause why
the temporary injunction should not
be made permanent
The return denies the contention of
the railroad companies that the rate
Of operating expenses is unusually
high; expressly denies that the COM
plainants' operating expenses within
the State Of South Dakota exceeds
the sum of their gross earnings, and
allege the fact to be that the said COM

Bl0oDShtD IS NOW FEARED
FIVE HUNDRED NoN.UNloN MEN
IMPORTED - WILD RUMoRs
FILL THE AIR.

Goldheld, New, Dec. l1.-Late yes
terday afternoon the Goldfield Mine
owners association issued it's ultima
tum to the miners in Goldfield in the
shape of set of resolutions adopted
at the meeting which had been in
progress all day. These resolutions
embody the new scale of wages to be
In vogue from this time, showing a
lowering of the scale of 20 per cent.
The mines are to be reopened on
Thursday next. Meanwhile men will
be brought here to the number of 500
to take the places Of the strikers. The
change from Wednesday to Thursday
was made to allow time to get men
from other points here to replace the
strikers.
Troops to Guard Mines.
Gov Sparks will come to Goldfield
on Thursday. The troops now here
will be scattered through the city and
will practically guard the mines.
Capt. w. S. Wayne of Occur d'Alene,
Idaho, noted as mine strike breaker,
arrived from Occur d'Alene last night.
He says that he is here simply to
watch the situation.
The order given for horses for the
troops under command of Col. Reyn-
Odds was countermanded yesterday
morning, and it is doubtless the inten-
ton to divide the two camps now es-
tablished into number of smaller
camps nearer to the large mines,
where the first attempt to reopen will
be made and where the first trouble
will occur IL there is to be violence
or bloodshed.
Serious Trouble Expected.
The officers of the Mine Owners as
ISOLATION assert that they have not
imported large number of non-union
men to take the place of the strikers,
but are depending on those now in
the federation who are ready to with
draw. They will permit men belong
ing to the American Federation of
Labor or affiliated unions to go to
work and will not bar men belonging
to any labor organization except the
Western Federation and the Industrial
Workers of the World
The streets of Goldfield are crowded
with men discussing the situation, and
the air is filed with many wild ru-
mors.
The general feeling is that serious
trouble is liable to commence at any
minute. Reports of attempts at in
timidation, threats Of violence and
even attempts to commit violence are
being constantly heard, but at union
headquarters these are characterized
as false

seventy-Eight Bodies Recovered From
Wrecked Mines at Monogah.


Monogah. w. Va, Dec. 11.-When
darkness came last night total of
seventy-eight bodies had been brought
from the two wrecked mines at Mo-
nongah Rescue work, while slow,
was progressing smoothly and as rap
cuers would permit.
1t is believed that close on to a
hundred dead will have been recover
ed by daylight. The fire which caused
suspension of rescue work has been
extinguished.
Scenes of touching sadness were
caused throughout the day by the bur-
ial of the recovered dead and the pitt
full actions of relatives of the entomb-
ed victims.

yesterday i'll which the claim is made
that later developments lead the Off.

men in the mine when the explosion
occurred. The statement, however, is
believed to be purely conjecture, and
no one who is familiar with condi-

400 men were checked off as entering
the two mines last Friday morning
and in addition to that number there

After worshiping for quarter of a
century in church that was erected
two years after the first Catholic serv-
ices were held in Mitchell, the Holy
Family Church society soon will dedi-
cate handsome new edifice that will
cost, when completed, more than $45.-
600. The new church was started two
years ago last spring, and it has been
built without burdening the members
of the parish too much, SO that when
the day it is dedicated it will be free
from debt. The day of dedication has
not been set as yet, but it likely will
be in January.
The dimensions of the building are
62x132 feet, the side walls being 30
feet high, while the tower over the
front of the church is ITO feet high.
The building Is constructed of granite,
and is model Of architectural beauty.
The interior finishings are rich,
while the decorating of the walls is
done with free hand work. On the
