TAFT REACHES vLADIvosToK.
Decides to Hurry Home without Call
ing on Emperor William.

Vladivostok, Nov. 1S.-Secretary
Taft arrived here at noon Sunday on
board the converted cruiser Rainbow.
Gen. Peluga, the commandant Of
this port, and other naval, military
and civil officials called upon Mr.. Taft
Sunday afternoon. 1t Is probable that
from st. Petersburg Mr.. Taft will
Journey direct to Hamburg and sail
for New York on December on board
the steamer President Grant.
Berlin, Nov. 18.-Secretary Taft has
definitely and finally decided not to
visit Emperor William. He sent
telegram to Charlemagne Tower, the
American ambassador to Germany,
two days ago, expressing his regret
that he would not be able to see the
emperor in England. To this Mr..
Tower replied by message in which
he pointed out certain considerations
which might lead Secretary Taft to
change his plans. A second telegram
has now been received from the secre-
tary in which he reaffirms that he is
obliged to proceed directly to America
and requests Mr.. Tower to transmit to
his majesty his very deep regret.

Not long ago, the Youths Com.
panion, in an article on English
historical pageants, made the sugges-
ton that something of a similar kind
might well form a part of anniversary
celebrations in this country. Since
then something of the sort has taken
place. The observance of "Ohio day"
by the town Of Rutland, Mass, was
made intensely interesting, and also
historically valuable, by a pageant in
which men, women and children were
dressed as were the pioneers of Gen.
Rufus Putnam's band, and drawn by
slow-moving oxen hitched to prairie
schooners." More lately still the ap-
prevail by Lord Tennyson of q pageant
with scenes taken from his fathers
poems, as a celebration of the hun.
dredth anniversary of the poets birth.
has led to the suggestion on this side
of the water that the coming Whittier
centenary be marked by a pageant of
scenes from the Quaker poets verse.
The simplicity and historic character
of much Of Whittier's poetry would
make this easy.

AN N. D. MANIAC.
Armed Insane Man Headed for Wash.
ington to Kill Roosevelt is Caught.

St. Paul, Nov 20.-The life of Pres
ident Roosevelt apparently has been
saved by the cunning of police
officer who managed to place the
man, who was heavily armed and
who is believed to be insane, within
the doors of the county Jail.
The man is about 80 years of age
and claimed to be trapper. He
walked into the central police station
and declared he was on the way to
Washington to ''get President Roose-
velt."
The man carried Winchester rife,
and a cartridge belt was strapped
around his waist. in which was a
large knife, Ratchet and revol-
yer in holster.
The night sergeant had the man
put in cell until he could give some
account of himself as he refused to
give his name. All that the police
could learn from the man was that
he lived at either Monin or Minot.
He also told the police that it was
his intention to call on all the St.
Paul bankers this morning and see
where they stood on the financial
question.

Pe-ru-na Tablets.
FOUND OUT JUST IN TIME.
Or Finger Bowl Would Have Been Put
to Novel Use.

The late William Cassidy, one-time
editor of the Albany Argus, possessed
the traditional Irish wit. On one oc-
casion, a number of years ago, he was
a guest at a political banquet in Al
bany. At that time finger bowls were
seldom used, and their correct usage
"a passing fad) meant to dip corner
of the napkin in the water and there
with daintily cleanse the finger tips.
Most Of the men present eyed the in
novation, when introduced at dessert,
narrowly and uncertainty. One after
another ended by plunging the hand
into the crystal dish. But Mr.. Robert
Pruyn, well-known Albany gentle
man, correctly moistened a bit Of his
napkin and laved his fingers. Mr..
Cassidy watched him admiringly, not
having as yet touched his own glass.
That's good" he whispered to neigh
Dor. That's good. If Pruyn hadn't
done that I should have put my foot
in it."-Harper's Weekly.

Cultivate the lmaaination.

He who can read easily and under.
standingly possesses the key to all hui
man knowledge If he reads with i'm.
agination alert, his mind will be
progressive. He will become more
and more self-reliant, and will become
self-confident as he realizes the
strength of his imaginative powers.
He will each day become more valu.
able to himself and to his employer,
because he is alert and receptive, and
because imagination will permeate all
his ideals, his thoughts and his activ-
ties. The man with Imagination Is
equal to all emergencies, for when one
way Of accomplishing desired re-
suit proves inefficient, he will think
of another, says the New York World
The imaginative gift broadens the out
look and creates resourcefulness. To
the artist the student, and the philos-
opher, the development of the imag'
NATIVE faculty is of the greatest value,
but to the worker in the business or
mechanical world it's value Is little
less. The man who has imaginative
strength never can be downed, for
when one of his schemes has failed,
he always has another ready, and will
persist until he achieves success.

FRANTZ WON'T HELP
INSTALL Haskell
OkLAHOMA'S OUTGOING COVER
NOR REFUSES TO TAKE
PART IN CEREMONY.
Result of Campaisn-StiIl Resents
Personal Attack Made by Successor
President Signs Proclamation
with Eagle Quill.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 16.-Frank
Frantz, governor of Oklahoma terri
tory, would not participate in the cere-
monies that were conducted Satur-
day incident to the Inauguration of
Gov.-elect Charles N. Haskell and
the Democratic state ticket.
His attitude became known when
the executive committee in charge of
the affair invited him to appear in the
first carriage in the parade at the side
of his successor. He refused en-
phatically. Urged to take some part
in feature of the inauguration, he
insisted that he did not wish to be
connected in any manner with the
ceremonies.
Result of Campaign Charges.
The governors attitude is the re-
suit of charges made during the re-
cent campaign for state officers by
Haskell. The territorial executive
took particular exception to speech
delivered at Shawnee, in which the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
made a personal attack on his rival.
The strained situation is all the more
noticeable because it is unprecedented.
Discussing the matter, Gov. Frantz
said: 81 am not inclined to talk for
publication. simply do not want to
take any part whatever in the inaugu-
ration. I want to be counted out of
it,"
None of the other outgoing terri
torial officers was invited to take
part in the change from territorial
government to a state, by the commit
tee on arrangements.
President Uses Eagle Quill.
Washington, Nov. 16.-With an
eagle quill pen President Roosevelt
at ten o'clock Saturday will sign the
proclamation that will make Indian
Territory and Oklahoma state of the
union. No ceremony will attend the
signing. the effect of which will put
in motion the machinery at the state
government at Guthrie, Okla, which,
owing to the difference in time, will
turn it's first wheel at nine o'clock.
The pen will be turned over to Gov.
Frantz, who will deliver 1t to the his
torical society of the new state.

F0RbIDS TALK
OF THIRD TERM
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WARNS
FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO
CEASE AGITATION.
His Appointees are also Notified Not to
Serve as Delegates to the Republi-
can Matte nal Convention. Mes
sage is Emphatic.

Washington, Nov. 20.-President
Roosevelt has taken steps to head off
the third term" boom. Federal Of
ficials are being warned to quit talk
ing third term" and to discourage
it wherever they can. In connection
with this move the administration
has decided that no federal officer
shall go as delegate to the next Re-
publican convention.
This information comes from an abb
solutely reliable source and will cause
much surprise among politicians.
Those who are opposed to third
term" will be surprised because they
have been inclined recently to believe
that the president was laying plans
to run again. To his friends the sur
prise will be over the method which
the president has adopted to check
his boom. They expected him to
make another public declaration.
The president realizes that the
most persistent third-term boomers
are federal Office holders or politi-
clans who are seeking favor at the
White House.
Within the past ten days third
term" talk has been renewed with
great energy all over the country.
1t arose over the report that the
president was so anxious to take the
New York delegation away from Gov.
Hughes that he would, if necessary,
stand for another nomination him
self. All of the federal appointees,
big and little, throughout the coun-
try regarded this as tip that the
president is again out after the presi-
dency, and they Immediately re-
sumed the third term" talk.
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
has an army of employees under his
control in the field. and they have
been shouting third term Mr..
Garfield is now notifying them that
it is the presidents wish that they
cease such talk.
Attorney General Bonaparte, who
also has large number of subordi-
mates in the field, including the Uni
ted States marshals and district at
torneys, is quietly informing them
that third term talk does not sound
good to the president
With reference to barring office
holders from becoming delegates to
the national convention, the admin
stration has decided to reach that
matter through the various depart
ments.

The Back Yard.

Paris is city noted everywhere for
beauty, not merely of architecture, but
of nature, and the art which good
taste is able to evolve from nature.
Particularly is it known for the beau
ty of its trees and flowers and parks.
The chief gardener of the city of Paris
has been spending two months vaca-
ton in the United States, studying
American methods in developing city
parks and gardens. He found much
to praise, but had nothing but con-
demnation for the American city back
yard. In New York, particularly, he
found the back yards incredibly ugly
and neglected-no grass, no trees, no
vines, no flowers. The criticism would
hold good of almost any American
city, but the matter is one which
young landscape architects are be-
ginning seriously to consider. One
such in Boston, says the Youths
Companion, is making a special study
Of the problem of converting few
square yards of brick pavement into
little secluded bower of greenery,
where the family can have a restful
hour or a pleasant meal, in surround
ings far more attractive than the aver
age roof-garden affords. Manufacture
ers interested in this young mans
work have produced special pieces Of
garden furniture, Of cement and terra
Gotta. A New Yorker has recently
told, In print, of the curiosity he felt
at the wording of an advertisement Of
some apartments to rent. One of the
attractions mentioned was the outlook
on real trees and back yards which
were gardens. Later conversation
with the agent disclosed the fact that
the modest attempt at beauty which
the windows commanded was real
asset. 1t raised the rentable value Of
the property.

PHONES FRIEND; KILLS SELF.
Californian Tells of Shooting Daugh-
ter and Takes Poison.

Santa Cruz, Cal, Nov. 1S.-After
calling a friend on the telephone and
telling him that he had shot his
daughter and intended to commit sui
eide, Maj. Frank Mclaughlin, a promi-
nent politician, swallowed prussic
acid. When the friend arrived Nc
Laughlin was lying on the floor dying
and the girl was found in an adjoin-
ing room fatally injured.
Mclaughlin, who had been promi-
nent in state affairs for % years, had
felt severe financial reverses, and it is
thought he had allowed it to prey
upon his mind until he determined to
slay himself after first putting his
daughter out of the reach of poverty.

SWITCHMEN ARE ENJOINED
THREATENED STRIKE AT BUFFA-
10 CHECKED BY COURT.
Mercantile Bodies and Shippers Feared

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 19.-Judge Hazel

Lackawanna & Western Railroad COM
pany, restraining the Switchmen's
Union of North America, Buffalo lodge
No. 4, and it's officers from breaking
an agreement alleged to exist between
the company and the switchmen's
union.
This agreement provides for the

men, and the petition for the order
states that a strike is threatened
which will place this contract in
jeopardy.
The injunction is returnable Novem-
Der %. At the Office of the attorneys
of the company it was stated that the
action was taken at the urgent re-
quest of mercantile bodies and large
individual shippers, who feared the re-
suits that might ensue from the tieing
up of even one trunk line at this time,
when every car was being utilized in
transporting the crops of the country
to the coast.
Notwithstanding the present condi-
ton of affairs, it was said the switch
mems union is demanding an in
creased rate of pay and threatens
that if the same is not Immediately
granted general strike will be called,

ner was convicted Monday night OF
murder in the second degree for the
killing of Esther G.. Norling on July

to a hat store owned by John G. Will
son, lifelong friend, and shot him.
Wilson died soon after. Warner was
captured by truckman armed with a

Boulder, Col, Nov. 19.-Murder in
the second degree with recommends
ton for the minimum sentence of ten
years Imprisonment was the verdict
returned Monday by the jury in the
case Of ]. w. Reeve, railroad brake
man, who confessed that he and an
other railroad man set the fire on the
Colorado & Southern railway yards
here on the night of August 10 last
which caused the explosion of car
load Of dynamite, killing three men
and destroying several hundred thou
sand dollars worth Of property.
It was urged on behalf of Reeve,
who is a member of well-known New
Jersey family, that he was intoxicated
at the time he created the crime and
did not know there was any dynamite
in the railroad cars. The motive for
starting the fire was sympathy with
the Colorado & Southern switchmen,
who were on strike.

always applying something in the way
of salves. 1t troubled her behind the
knees, opposite the elbows, back Of
the neck and ears, under the chin, and
then it got on the face. That was
about three years ago. She took treat

WOMAN STIRS UP BAD RIOT
LOUISVILLE STRIKERS INFLAMED
BY WIFE OF CONDUCTOR.
with Poiice-Two Officers
Are Injured.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 1S-Two po-
licemen were injured by bricks, five
men were arrested and a number of
persons dubbed as the result of q
riotous demonstration made by strik-
ing street car employees and their
friends Sunday afternoon.
That the affair did not result more
seriously was due to the prompt ar
rival of police reserves, who broke up
the crowd before it could be further
infiamed A mass meeting of strike
sympathiZers was held at hall in
the central part of the city, at which
heated speeches were made, but the
crowd did not become fired until an
address was delivered by the wife Of
so worked on the feelings of the as
semblage that when the meeting broke
up an impromptu parade of over 1000
persons was formed and marched
about the business district. There
was large sprinkling of women and
they melted the crowd to stone the
cars. Four cars were stoned, and al
though no one aboard was seriously
hurt, several women passengers faint
ed.
The procession finally halted at
Fourth and Market streets, where
more infiammatory speeches were
made and collision with six police
men at the corner followed. Sergt.
Brockman and Policeman Dalton re-
ceived painful wounds from flying
bricks, but they and their four COM
panions managed to arrest five of the
leaders of the mob and get the re-
serves to the scene. Only liberal
display of pistols and free use of clubs
by the reserves broke up the dem
onstration, which was fast becoming
serious.
A police order was issued forbid
ding any more parades. This was the
third day of the strike and the COM
pany operated about one-fourth of the
usual number of cars, which were
moderately patronized. All service
was suspended at nightfall.

New York, Nov. 18.-Lyman ].
King, proprietor of poultry farm in
the Bronx, has been missing chickens
recently, and when an automatic
alarm awoke him early Sunday he
seized revolver and, hurrying out
doors, fired at two forms outlined in
the moonlight. Bruno Puella, % years
old, of Yonkers, fell dead with a bullet
in the head. Parlo Lagentia, about the
same age, received bullet in the side,
another in the leg and, as he fed, a
third in the back, which killed him.
King surrendered to the police.
