In reply to a query, "What shall /
teach my child?" some one has snswer-
ed: ''Teach him that it is better to die
than to lie; that it is better to starye
than to steal; that it is better to be a
scavenger or a woodchopper than an
idler and a deadbeat; that it is just as
criminal and reprehensible to waste
Monday as it is to desecrate Sunday;
that labor is the, price OF all honest
possession" And there is truth in
every word of what the unknown writer
says.

PHILIPPINES
FIRST FORMAL STEPS
TO SELF-GOVERNNIEN
All the Officials Chosen Today VIII
Take Their Offices the First OF
January Next, Except the General
Assemblymen Who VIII Convene I'm
Octobcr-Tcnurc of office Two and
-Four Years.

Washington, July S0.-Today' Is
election in the Philippine Islands
marks the first formal step towards
Filipino self-government. Naturally
enough the administration officials
conduct and result of the election,
which is for the choice of members of
the first Philippine assembly, and for
provincial governors. members of
provincial boards, municipal presi-
dents and municipal counsellors. All
Of these officers, with the exception
of municipal counsellors, are to hold
office for two years and to assume
their duties upon the 1st of January
next. The municipal counsellors are
to hold office for four years.
The Philippine assembly is the re-
suit of the promise of President
Roosevelt made to the Filipinos
through Secretary Taft to give the
people Of the islands measure of
self-government, conditioned upon
their good behavior for term OF
two years. The assembly is to be
given all the legislative powers here
tofore exercised by the Philippine
commission in all that part of the
archipelago not inhabited by Moros
or non-Christian tribes.
The assembly is to be composed Of
81 members, apportioned on the ba-
sis of one delegate for each 10000 of
population, and provision is made to
increase this number, but the total
number Of delegates cannot exceed
100. The body may be compared in
general way to the American house
of representatives, while the Philip
pine commission will be the upper
house Or senate, and the acts of the
assembly must secure the approval OF
the commission in order to become
laws, The first assembly will con-
vene early in October, when Secre-
tary Of War Taft will be present to
witness the proceedings.

dissolution OF the powder trust"
United States Senator Dupont is one
of score Of individual defendants to

that a receiver to be appointed for
the three leading companies: e, I.
Dupont, Denemour's Powder company

SuNSOh ~ hoihitc " IO"uST COMPANY,
San Francisco; Metropolitan Powder,
Hercules. Cal; Peyton Chemical, San
Francisco.
When Dupont entered the senate a
little more than a year ago, the an

ton in the operation of powder con-
Germs. The bill says:

Dupont was one of the principal
stockholders in said company, and
during all of the time mentioned he
has been and now is exercising a DOM
inant influence over the management
of the business of said companies,
and is responsible member thereof"

San Francisco. July 30.-Unless all
signs fail Nelson will be top heavy
favorite over Britt when they face
each other for the third time to-
morrow night. From 10 to 9 the
odds have gone to 10 to in four
days. Wise betters eexpect to see
the price 10 to l. Quite a lot of mon
ey is placed at 10 to s. Britt ad-
mirers are taking all at that price
in sight. but despite the eagerness to
wager, their odds have become long
er. This condition is primarily due
to the one decisive victory Nelson
scored over Britt, but the Nelson
sentiment is given great strength by
the dissipating of the reports that
he had not only gone back as re-
suit Of the beating Cans gave him,
but that he has a bad ailment that
would never again permit him to get
into condition.
The Dane is in splendid shape, and
looks tough as a piece of whalebone.
Britt is also in grand form for

Both laid off today, contenting
themselves with little road work.

Boise, July 3o.-Chas. H. Meyer
walked out of the Ada county court
house this afternoon freed by bonds
for $4,000, made possible by the
generosity Of the local unions and
the Western Federation of Miners
and guaranteed with $4,000 cash
on the personal bond of Timothy Re-
gan, a resident property owner here.
Meyer is jubilant at regaining his
freedom and his attorney says he
will never be called to face the
charge. Orchards tale is the only
evidence against him, and during the
Cripple Creek troubles Meyer was in
Jail and could have had no part in
them. He said when released:
"You may tell the readers of the
United Press 1 am grateful TO my
friends for what they have done for
me and my associates in combating
the vile conspiracy, and I am going
to return to Denver. Pettibone will
also be acquitted If they dare to try
him."
Pettibone was brought into the
court room at 10 o'clock and Dar-
row made a formal motion asking
bail. There was no argument, and
Judge Wood denied the request. Pet
tibone had little hopes of securing
favorable action and is hardly dis

$1,000 Is Available.

There is now $4,000 available for
the Improvement of the cemetery
and money is being steadily collected
by the city from the sale of lots in
the cemetery. Also. few days ago
a trade was MADE with the Catholics
whereby section of the cemetery
was sold to them for a consideration
of several hundred dollars. But in
spite of all these, no step has yet
been taken towards the improve
ment of the grounds.
When the late Mrs. Figg Thompson
died she bequeathed $4,000 for the
Improvement OF olney cemetery,
leaving the same in the care of Kun
zie lodge, A. F. & A. NJ. But as that
lodge has ceased to exist, being sue
ceeded by Pendleton lodge, the court
has named Charles II. Carter, admin
istrator of the Thompson estate, as
trustee of the cemetery money.
But according to Mr.. Carter the
$4,000 in his care is not sufficient to
put water upon the cemetery and
aid must be had from other sources
before any Improvement can be made.
In the past two different propositions
for watering the cemetery have been
advocated. One is gravity supply
secured from Tutuiila or Mckay
creeks, while the other plan is to
dig well near the cemetery and
pump water to the ground by means
OF electric power. Apparently the
gravity system plan is a very doubt
full one and would be expensive II
attempted. On the other hand,

mean continuous expense for pow
