FRIDAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 6, 1874
Elections of 1907.

Many persons suppose that the only
politics that is in the years Immediately
preceding the big quadrennial campaigns
is the maneuvering of the various Presl-
dental aspirants for position in the ap-
preaching convention. This is mistake,
however. Several States always hold
elections in those "off'' years, and few
of them are important enough to attract
good deal of attention.
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Mississippi, and Kentucky
elect governors in November, 1907, and
most of these States, as we'll as few 9TH
ers, will choose one or both branches OF
their Legislatures. The contests in Rhode
Island, New Jersey and Mary land will be
of especial interest to the country. Rhode
Island, which gave plurality Of nearly
1900 to President Roosevelt in 1904,
has elected Democrat to the Governorship
several times recently, and has Demo
cratic Governor now. New Jersey, which
was once called the Northern projection of
the Solid South, and which until 1896
was about as reliably Democratic as South
Carolina, is being 'claimed'' by the Dem
ocrats this year. Maryland has been a
doubtful State for the last dozen years,
swinging from one party to the other. Nc
Kinley carried it in 1896 and 1900, and
in 1904 the division was so close that no
body knew who had the State until the
official count was made. Then it was
found that out of total Of 224 600,
Parker beat Roosevelt by only 81 votes.
These States, holding their elections so
close to the big national canvass, will show
the direction and the force of the partisan
currents. When the Republicans carried
MARYLAND and Kentucky for Governor in
1895 the country saw that the drift was
decidedly in favor Of the Republicans for
the big canvass II months later. When
Roswell p. Flower carried New York for
Governor in 1891 by 4S, 600 margin,
and Horace Boles carried Iowa, these were
among the portents of the Democratic
landslide in 1892, which placed Cleveland
in the Presidency. Foraker's defeat at
the polls for Governor of Ohio in 1883 by
George Hoadly was one Of the indications
of that swing of the country away from the
Republicans which was to defeat Blaine in
1884 and send Cleveland to the White
House for his first term. Some OF the
State elections of 1907 may be important
as "pointers' of the direction in which
the political wind will blow in 1908.

A Great Detectives Imagination.

Lincoln Stetfen' story i'll the September
American Magazine of how William j.
Burns caught the land thieves is not only
a great detective story: it is an interesting
study of genius. Burns, according to MIR.
Stetfens, is successful because he has i'm
agination Burns calls it forming a
theory" but, as one follows the detectives
story through the land frauds, one sees
that his theorizing consists of nothing but
mental seeing aided by reason. The clash
between Burns, the imaginative, and
Hitchcock, the hard headed, is reported as
follows by Mr.. Steffens
"Burns went on to say that certain
officials, whom he named, men high up
in the Department; veterans in the service;
gentlemen in department; members OF good
families; friends of great men were crooks.
The Secretary demanded to know how the
detective knew. And when the detective
said the fraud simply could not 90 on with
out their knowledge and connivance, the
Secretary asked for evidence.
g 4 have no evidence yet, Burns had
to admit; that's only my theory.
" oh said the Secretary, if that S
all you'v We got Well, we shall have to
have more than theory, you know.
"Burns did not resent the Secretary S
incredulity. He was used to it. He tells
how in his most celebrated case, the Taylor
Bredell- Jacobs and Kendig Philadelphia
Lancaster counterfeit conspiracy, he had a
similar experience with Chief Wilkie
Burns assumed that very few engravers
could have done that job. From talks
with men in the business he learned of six
who were capable of such perfect work.
Four of them he found to be openly en-
engaged all the time at legitimate labor.
Thus by process of elimination he settled
bis suspicion upon the other two, and,
finding them grouped mysteriously but
handily for crime, he wired Wilkie, who
was then new in the service, that he had
located the criminals.
" The Chief came rushing over to
Philadelphia, Burns relates, 'and talked
of warrants. He was utterly disguised
when I told him that had only formed
my theory, and he laughed. Well, I
laughed, too, and laughed last. 1t took
a year to get the evidence. | had taken
only few weeks to form my theory. But
the evidence bore out the theory in de-
tail. -

DiabOIO.

Are, you going to play diabolo?
Of course you are.
Haven't heard of the game?
Well, it'll soon be here. 1t has
just arrived in Newport from Paris
and London, where it is all the
rage. Wherever it goes the game
catches everybody. Anybody can
play it and become expert-little
boys, little girls, bigboys, big girls
and women.
What is diabOlo?
In the first place, one may play
it alone or with one opponent, Or
any number may go into the game.
The player takes two flexible
sticks, each a foot long, and con-
nected by rather long silk cord.
On the cord is placed the diabolo
"a rubber coated, celluloid affair,
shaped like an hour glass, two
cones joined at the points-and by
manipulating the sticks the cord
is made to hurl the top OF a great
er or lesser distance, according to
the skill of the. player.
The rules are much the same as
those for tennis.
The court is laid out in tWoI
separated by a rectangle
which takes the place of the ten
mis- net.
The diabolo, which leaps into
the air and behaves like real
devil, must fall within the square
the one from which it is
At the first mistake it |
is the next players turn. Each
error counts one point against the
maker of it.
1t is an error when the player
whose business it is to return the
let's it touch the ground, !
or, having caught it on his cord,
fails to hurl it back; when it falls
in the field or square from which
it was sent or outside the limits Of
the opposite field.
The opponent of the player who
throws the diabolo must watch
catch the top on his cord,
and throw it back-and this catch |
ing the diabolo in the air to return
it is full of surprises. 1t requires
rare suppleness, attention, agility, !
nerve and quickness Of vision
qualities only obtained by such
hard, persistent training as makes
athletes of men and adds grace to

Forestry in China.

A Washington dispatch says:-The
almost worldwide movement to pro-
tect and establish forests has reached
China, and the first Chinese school of
forestry will shortly be opened in
Mukden. according to a recent report
by Consul General James w. Rags
dale at Tientsin.
The Chinese empire is usually
pointed out as the worst example,
among modern nations, OF forest de.
structlon. The floods which are
periodically poured down from the
denuded mountains are destructive
beyond comparison with those of any
other country and the want of forest,
is assigned as the chief cause.
Wood is scarcer in China than IL
almost any other Inhabited region o
the world, although the country il
we'll adapted to the growing OF trees
In establishing forest school tn
Chinese government gives evldenc
that 1t realizes the need of beginniLl
the work OF reforestatlon in a scien
ific manner.

ADAMS TRIAL OCTOBER 3
After Arguments Court Sets Date for
Famous Case.
COURT CONVENED MONDAY.
Jury Appeared Wednesday Morn

On Wednesday morning Judge
Woods set the Steve Adams case
for trial on the 23d of October.
When the case was called the
counsel for the state insisted that
it be set down Immediately, which
was resisted by the attorneys for
Adams, on the ground that Clar-
Darrow, the distinguished Chica-
60 attorney who is chief counsel
for Adams, and who tried the case
in the former trial at Wallace when
the jury disagreed, was absent at
Boise and would be engaged in the
trial of the Pettibone case, and
could not be present.
After hearing the argument Of
the respective counsel, the court
set the case for the 23d.
The state was represented by H.
P. Knigh of Wallace, and Prose
cutting Attorney Potts of this, coun-
ty. The defendant was represent
