TOOK GAS
And Wrecked Dental Office and Got
Skull Cracked But Still Hss
Teeth.

Washington, Sept. L-George W.
Bowers, an engineer, went TO the
Washington dental parlors this after
noon to have an aching tooth extract
ed, and few minutes later was car
ried to the emergency hospital with
a fractured skull, and the affected
molar stiL in his mouth. In the
meantime he had wrecked the dental
parlor and caused commotion which
required a squad OF policemen to quell
Bowers insisted upon taKing gas,
against the advice of Or. r. b. Leon
ard. When II was administered Bow
ers started in TO break the furniture
and TO attack the dentist. Two as
sistants and eolored porter came
to his rescue, but Bowers had them
all down and out in quicker time
than Il would have required TO ex-
tract the tooth. Finally In defense
of his life DR.. william Fl. Winter
seized a hammer and struck Bowers
upon the head with II, fracturing his
skull. This fioored the man, and
strangely enough, brought him back
to consciousness. He explained that
in his delirium he thought the doc
tors we're attacking his wife. When
he reached the hospital he had forgot
ten all about his toothache. He will
recover from the fractured skull. DR..
Winter was held in $1,000 bail to
await the result OF Bowers injuries.

FIRST WOMAN
To Set Foot In a Trappist Monastery,
But She Had to Don Trousers.

Dubuque, Ia, Sept 1.-Miss Mary
Charming, OF Pittsburg. is the first
woman to set foot within the mon
astery of the Trappis' monks. which
stands about twelve Isles from this
city. In entering the monastery she
defied an ironclad rule of the order.
Miss Claiming asked permission 40
go inside the abbey and was refused.
Il decided then and there that
should get inside the abbey" she
said. "There was but one way to do
II, and that was to don mems clothes
and pretend was a man. l suppose
1t was a wicked thing - do. but my
curiosity got the best of me. I bor-
rowed a suit of clothes. When ] put
1t on ! looked really more like a
boy OF 16 than man. A good old
monk offered to show me around.

the abbey"

DAN QUINLIN
Tells Story Entitled "Why Don't You
Try the Postal" In Which
He Had a Part.

Some years ago Dan Quinlin who was
one of the fun making team OF Quin-
Ian and Mack at the Park last week
and another aspiring youth left their
homes In Elmira and started out to
make people sit up and take notice
In the theatrical world. Hard knocks
we're their reward for time, but Mr..
Quinlin's ability soon forced him to
the foreground, and he found himself
not only achieving a deserved success,
but the recipient OF salary OF four
hundred a week. At the seasons close
he returned to spend the summer In
Elmira. His friend, who early in tAe
game had deserted the stage for the
more lucrative calling Of newspaper
correspondent for western blizzard,
but who's feet still tingled TO tread the
boards behind the footllghts, and
whose nostrils longed for the odor OF
creased paint, and the filmy swish OF
lace lingerie, organized one night
stand, barn storming repertoire com
pany, and knowing Mr.. Quinlan to be
at his home, wired him the munitcent
offer Of fifteen dollars a week TO do
the leading heavy. The language that
the gentleman used upon receipt of
that telegram is unprintable. With a
contract for forty weeks at four hun
dred dollars per in his inside pocket,
his indignation at this insult knew no
bounds, and rushing madly into a
telegraph Office he wired, Mr.. A. 4.
Tinker, Squash Hollow, Col; West
ern Union Telegraph Co. refuses TO
transmit language that would convey
my opinion OF you and your offer"
Late that afternoon, as he was laz-
fly lounging in a hammock at his
home, a message was handed
him, with an eighty cent collect at
tachment, which was a reply, and
which read, A. C. Quinlin. Elmira, ~
Y. "Why don't you try the Postal"
Since that time Mr. Quinlin has
been one Of the features OF The Al. G.
Fields minstrels, organizer and one OF
the proprietors OF Quinlin 4 Walls
which was one OF the attrac-
tions at the Opera House here last
season, and IL was while playing here
that he discovered Rochelle the trap
drummer who was then playing with
the Grand Army band here, and who
Is now with Al. G. Field, and Mr..
Quinlln states Is one OF the best trap
lrummers in the country.

OKLAHOMA AND NEW YORK.

While President Roosevelt was urg-

Oklahoma. it seems he was unaware
Of the amount Of Democracy that
would buInish the proposed new star.
After the act OF Congress was passed,
the people came together 10 elect dele

and beholq. they elected nearly all
Democratsl These Democrats prepar-

burg which is built on the scene OF
the assassination OF Alexander II. in
1881. The only intimation the people
had of the presence of their majesties
was when they found all the street
through which the imperial party
were TO pass closed absolutely TO the
public, and householders were forbid

ter the ceremony at the church the
emperor and empress and the grand
dukes drove TO the Petropayloysk

Alexander II. Then they returned to
Peterhof castle.

NEGRO EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH


Not all the men OF the south are
OF the Tillman and Vardaman type
The refusal Of Mississippi - a state
, which has led the way In anti'negro
suffrage legislation TO send Varda'
man TO the senate. shows that In all
. .probabillty such men are not even IN
the majority in any considerable sec
= tion. AT the last meeting of 'he Mis-
sissippi state bar association Mr.. Le-
row Percy, distinguished lawyer
discussed the question of negro edu-
cation. Just now that is a burning
question in the south. The south is
. not. rich. It's people have hard work
10 proyide fair amount Of schooling
for the white children. 1t is not at
all strange therefore that some OF
them feel II a hardship to be taxed
10 maintain schools for the negroes.
But not all, not even a majority OF
the white voters take this narrow
view. Speaking Of the education of
the negro Mr. Percy said;
IF We could stop his education we
should not do so, ! deny as an
academic question that the negro's
usefulness is impaired by education.
| deny that any man is rendered
worse by having his intelligence
quickened, his mental horizon widen
ed. deny from observation and ac'
tual experience that a ruu.mentary
education makes a negro more In
efficient farmer. own a place in
Washington county entirely tenanted
by negroes. I do not believe that a
more desirable set Of negro tenants
can be found upon any property in
the south, and more than eighty per
cent Of them can read and write.
1.-THE negro must be educated to
the extent necessary to enable him to
know whether he is being rightly or
wrongly treated. Any other idea is
monstFous and intolerable because OF
its harshness and cruelty. But not
as matter of justice to him alone
IS his education necessary, but be-
cause the Industrial development of
the south demands it,"
The south has the negro. II must
make the best Of him not only for his
own good, but for the good of the
white people OF the south. Education
of the right kind cannot render any
workman hess valuable. In most cases
It increases his capacity and indus
try. The Industrial problem Of the
south today is 20 secure suffioieney
Of labor It's great stores of coal,
iron and timber to say nothing of the
richness OF its cotton, sugar and to-
bacco lands, require a plentiful sup
ply of intelligent labor That supply
can be gotten only by teaching the col
ored man the ways of thrift and in
dustry.

Il and In this speech out there last
Saturday Secretary Taft dlscoursed
with feeling of an alleged gerrymand-
err and Of the Hypocrisy" and pol
itical trickery" of those who perfected
a scheme by which If the state gave a
Republican plurality the Legislature
and the Senators might yet be Demo-
cratic. OF course no one would sus-
pect that in good Mr.. Tafts own
State OF Ohio such a thing as politi-
cal trickery was ever existent. yet"
observes the New York Evening Post,
I'VE could name another state in
which the chief city might have over
half the voters, and every one of those
voters cast a Democratic ballot, and
yet the Republican party, under the
States extraordinary constitution,
still has a majority in the State Sen
ate, II IL carried the rest of the state
by the barest majorlties. That State
happens to be the home of the Presi-
dent, who has to determine 'judicially'
whether the Oklahoma constitution
conforms to that OF the United States.
1t is one more proof of the difficulty
of throwing brick at Oklahoma with
out hitting some sister State" 1t is
plain enough logic that what has been
done by Republicans in New York
can be done by Democrats in oklaho-
ma with an equal amount of Justice.

SWEETHEARTS
And Others Will Find
IAN Old Sweetheart
of Mine"
TO Be A RARE PLEASURE

II is claimed for the story of "An
Old Sweetheart Of Nine" In which
w. A. whitecar is starring this sea-
son, that II Is an interesting tale OF
typical life on the plains, love story
pure and simple, calling into play all
the tenderness of woman and ali the
ual tale as well. with fancy and emo
tion added to II. In II is no Gym
icism, no satire. The chief charac-
ter is a great personality In action.
He has made a mistake and realizing
that he has done so gives up his life
in the rectification OF that mistake.
That is, he offers his life, but. fortu-
nately, he is spared that sacrifice and
the end comes when his sweetheart"
is restored to him and the wrong
righted.
II is more OF personal study than
national lesson, although there are
large truths involved In its telling.
High spirits are crushed before they
are raised again TO their former level
but the Joy that is pictured at the
close OF the story is OF the most sat-
lsfying nature.
Know. then, that this "old sweet
heart" is a former love of the hero,
Richard Darlington, alias Dick Scott.
That Dick has fallen into devious ways
and is heart-sore and weary, and that
he has mated himself TO belle of
Mexico to whom he is truer than any
other man would or could be- There
Is also another Mexican, one Jose by
name who is better under ground
than above II. and with him comes
into the story Juanita, a svelte young
serving maid that hears and reports
more than is good for either her or
her mistress
Now, into this cauldon OF seething
Misunderstanding comes the ''old
sweetheart" and in no time at all pro.
ceeds TO tangle up the skeins In the
most approved fashion. Complications
pile on complications until II would
seem as II 1t would be necessary to
apply the knife In order to bring
any orderly living out OF the chaos
that has ensued.
II sometimes happens that the one
most concerned in getting people and
things into trouble is the one who un-
tangles the skein most lntelligently,
and 80 It happens in this case, Mar
garet Lea, the Sweetheart" who had
gotten her lover almost under the
gallows. is responsible for the cutting
of the knot and freeing the man OF
her choice. incidentally, the young
Juanita, the bearer OF tales and chief
culprit In the matter OF reporting
sayings and doings that should not be
reported, loosens her tongue to some
purpose and blurts out that which
she as a paid eaves-dropper should
not have spoken and undoes a great
wrong that by her keeping silent and
being true TO her employer she could
not have undone.
Altogether II is tale OF import and
strange interest. II Is a wholesome
recital of love and jealousy, hope and
fear less fantastic than the average

UTAH DEDATERS SAY THEY WERE J1CKEYEO
OUT Of POSITION AND LEFT At POST IN BOULDER

Percy Goddard. manager Of the Uni
versity Of Utah debating team. submits
the following account Of the Utah-Col-
oradO debate, held recently at Boulder,
Coic-
we were heartily welcomed and
treated with every courtesy during our
stay in Boulder. and we are pleased TO
find that our relations with the Uni
Versity of Colorado are becoming more
and more intimate and friendly.
Our contest. however. was of very
unusual kind. and was of an unsatis-
factory character. aside from the fact
that we got an unfavorable decision It
was somewhat unique in that the real
question of debate, the Cuban problem,
was not debated
Colorado assumed an extraordinary
affirmative position which resulted. in
effect. in each side granting practically
the entire argument of the opposing
team The Colorado men. of course, de-
liVereG their affirmative matter as
planned. whereas the nature of their
position excluded the planned line of
argument OF the negative and confined
US almost wholly to an attack upon
their peculiar interpretation The ad-
vantage thus obtained by Colorado was
not offset by all our efforts TO prove
their Interpretation unfair.
'They affirmed Cuban competence

either for independent government or
for statehood in the American Union,
advocating sGmission 10 statehood on
the ground that 4 would best subserve
the interests OF both the United States
and of Cuba II this be true. they
argued. Cuba should be annexed when
her people wish annexation. i, The en-
tire discussion rested upon this latter
position, a position which to US seemed
absurd and unbeatable since 1T made
the solution contingent upon a future
uncertain condition, whereas the ques-
ton of the debate was: Resolved. That
the best solution of the Cuban problem
Is annexation by the United Staten.
Their whole argument however was
mace to conform very cieFeriy to their
Interpretation. which resulted in ex-
GLIDING all negative argument on the
questions OF the competence of the Gu
bans. of the pledges Of the United
states TO preserve Cuban Independence.
Of Cuban sentiment, of international
law. and OF present expediency.
"As a consequence of this unfortunate
failure to meet on common ground, we
feel that we had no fair chance to test
the relative strength of the two teams.
1T is to be hoped that in our future
debates we may meet on the interpre-
tation Of the question and agree on
some issues Of discussion
