ATHLETICS AT AUDITORIUM.
Y. NJ. @. A. Completes Arrangement
for This Evenings Celebration
The Program.

The Auditorium will be about the
liveliest place in town this evening,
for the local Y. M. G. A. have COM
pleted all their arrangements for the
big athletic carnival which includes
basket and indoor ball games, a re-
lay race and music by the Indian
School band.
The first event on the program Is
the basket ball contest between the
Stars and the School of Mines quin-
tet. Included in the line up of the
first named aggregation are some
men who have gained considerable
regulations as sure enough stars, but
the Miners are a sturdy lot and
it will take some real playing to beat
them out.
Immediately following this game,
a twenty-five yard dash open to mem
bers of the association is scheduled.
! There are some fast men in the as
ISOLATION and the race should be a
pretty one.
The Bachelors and Benedicts are
booked for a game of indoor bese-
ball as the next attraction. Judging
from the practice Wednesday evening
the game will be %anybody's until the
last man Is out, for Doctor LeMar
has gathered some excellent material
under his standard and expects to
keep things interesting all the way to
the finish. The bachelors nine while
not particularly certain of victory,
feel they have it on the older men in
some respects, but the possibilities
are they may find themselves hard
pushed to pull out in front.
\. relay race between teams chosen
from the Hustler AMI Rustler mem
| bership campaign squads is sure to
furnish loads of fun for the specta-
tor.
The grand wind up of the even
!; ing is the basketball game between a
t picked team from the indian school
and the Happy Go Luckies. Dr.. Minty
who assisted in training the famous
Sioux City Giants has been shaping
the "Happies" for the fray, While
Chauncey Robes best efforts have
been expended on his braves to ge'
them tuned up TO ra hard rub will

= to get your moneys worth this even
ing, and the cause is a good one, 81
every body who can possibly Arrange
to should get out and enjoy them
e selves this evening.

ST. PAUL BUYS IDAHO LINE
Weyerhaeuser Road to Become Part
of Feeder System.

Lewiston, Ida, Sept. 9.-Interest in
railroad movements in the Lewiston
country has been reawakened by a
report which reached this city from
Palouse to the effect that the Weyer-
haeuser road from Palouse to Boville,
known as the Washington, Idaho and
Montana railway, has been purchased
by the Chicago. Milwaukee and st.
Paul and will become a part of the
feeder system to be established in
Central Idaho.
The Weyerhaeuser road is now be-
ing extended from Boyille to Collins,
where connection with the Milwaukee
road wiz be made. The latter is now
pushing a survey from Collins to
Clearwater, with the evident intention
of entering Lewiston by that route,
at water grade. This route would
open up for the Milwaukee the vast
timber region of the Clearwater and
also wrest from the Hill lines much
OF the immense Clearwater tonnage,
heretofore classed as Northern Pa
cific asset.

PREDICTS GREAT FIRE.
New York Insurance Man Sees Danger
in Skyscrapers.

I. New York, Sept. 9.-Opposition to
the building of skyscrapers was voiced
vigorously at public hearing before
the commission on limitation OF
height and area Of buildings.
George w. Babb, president oil the
New York board OF fire underwriters,
said his board was expecting a fire of
unprecedented size at any time in the
high buildings. He said it was the
belief of the fire underwriters that II
fire started on the upper floors OF
some of the highest buildings it could
not be checked as the water pressure
is insufficient, and he feared it would
spread to many other high buildings,
entailing an enormous loss. His
board, he said, advocated limiting
buildings entirely for office purposes
to 125 feet
Calvin Tomkins, president Of the
Municipal Art society, was also ir
favor of limitations He said he be
lieyed the time was coming when sky.

room for luildings built by the block.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Wife of Wealthy Broker Dead and

Chicago. Sept. 9.-Mrs. Fred M

broker, was found murdered in hel

day. Her husband, with his throat
cut, was found unconscious on the
floor of the bedroom in which the body
OF Mrs. Fish was lying. 1t is the opin-

his wife and then attempted to com
nit suicide. He was hurried to a
hospital, but has not yet recovered
consciousness and it is doubtful If he

The cause OF the tragedy Is I'M

that Fish arose early in the day and

wife's head, hacked her In a horrible
fashion with a butchers cleaver. A
servant girl who was In the house

Makes Reservations Regarding Polio
ina of Morocco.

Berlin, Sept 9.-Germany's reply to
Frances circular note to the sigma
tories Of the Algeciras convention will
not be drawn up for several days. 1t
is understood in the most influential
quarters that Germany will not give
a negative reply to the suggestion
that the International Moroccan police
be temporarily constituted from purely
French and Spanish clements. Some
reserves, however, will certainly be
made on the subject. 1t is fully un-
derstood here that the present situa-
tion at Casa Blanca and Mazagan was
not foreseen at the time the Algeciras
convention was drawn up and re-
Guires to he specially dealt with, but
Germany will consent for the moment
20 rely on French loyalty to the en-
gagements entered into. No limita-
tion, therefore, is likely to be placed
ON the French military movements so
long as they are considered to be nee
essary for the security Of Europeans
and OF the Moroccan ports.

dead Drink was the cause of his
death and the event served to clear

Charles E. Graves, president of

was his brother. The 81 day on
which the dead man lived was pro-

USED COMPANY'S FUNDS.
Missing Head of Chicago Concern Said
to Be Short $3t5,OOO.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The appointment
Of receiver for the properties of the
Belding-Hall Manufacturing company
followed closely upon the heels of the
discovery by the creditors OF the con
Germ that its missing president, Jesse
Edison Hall, had appropriated to his
own use at least $315,000 of the cor.
poration's funds.
IS far as can be discovered every
dollar of this money went into mining
stock which was backed up with nc
tangible property, theatrical ventures
which made no money and other Sc
curities which the creditors are will
ing to sell in a lump for something
less than $4,000.
Indications are that Hall will moi
voluntarily return from Canada and
that criminal prosecution will be in
stituted to bring him back to this
country by the First National bank
which holds notes Of the company ag
rregating 100000.

CIVIL. WAR imminent
Rival SuItans Of Morocco Will
Settle Right to IL
ARMIES LEVIED IN HASTE
Coast, Promises to BE the Scene of
the First Engagement in the strug-
ole for Supremacy.

Tangier, Morocco, Sept 9.-Events
In Moro cco are marching on with great
rapidity Both the sultans, Abdel Aziz
and Mulai Hafg, are reported TO be
leaving the rival capitals, Fee and
Morocco City, at the head of armies
which had been levied in hot haste
and which ma. decide within fort
night the destiny of Morocco's mon
archy. The immediate objective of
these forces is the ancient city of Ra-
bat. on the Atlantic seaboard, the
prior possession of which great center
of Western Islam's national life prob
ably would have an important Ii not
a decisive bearing upon the struggle
for supremacy. Half way between Fee
and Morocco City the city of Rabat is
the natural frontier port. dividing
Northern and Southern Morocco, and
there the dramatic interest Of the sit
uation for the moment eliminates.
Both sultans are sons of the same
father and they are daily issuing pas
sionate appeals to the patriotism and
religious enthusiasm Of the nation,
each denouncing his rival as being
worse than an infidel and a traitor to
Islam
In the meanwhile the powers have
not yet decided whether to recognize
Mulai Hafig, his correct name, as sui
tan OF the South, seemingly awaiting
results CT the appeal to the arbitra-
ment OF civil war.
The general impression here, based
upon kilograms from London and
Paris. is that France and Spain have
resolved upon the immediate occupa-
ton of all the Moroccan seaports,
which has caused universal consterna-
ton, for it is feared by those who
best know the character Of the Moors
thai any extension of the Intervention
of France and Spain will infallibly
provoke further massacres of Chris
tians and Jews in the various towns
ON the coast In other words, sit
uation has developed which never was
contemplated at the time OF the Alge-
ciras convention and it appears that
serious events will follow.

SEVERAL SERIOUSLY ILL.
Threshing Crew of Twenty Poisoned

Manson, Ia, Sept. 9.-Twenty men,

served with a lunch of chicken sand
wiches. Soon all were sick and physi-
clans were brought from two towns.
Ptomaine had developed in the
