Junction City, Kan. Aug. 31.-The
Fifty-third and the Fifty-fourth regi-
ments of the Iowa national guard ar
rived at the camp of instruction at
Fort Riley Sunday morning and were
at once detrained. The regiment of
national guard from South Dakota ar
rived in the evening and went into
camp Immediately upon arrival. The
Iowa and South Dakota troops are the
last national guards organization that

camp for ten days instruction. The
original orders for the maneuvers pro-
vided for regulars to break camp Sep
TENDER 10 and on that date to COM

Man With UNIQUE Record.

Albert NJ. Cross, of Gloucester, is the
champion never id-anything' man
of New England.
He has refrained from doing many of
the common things which in the ordi-
nary course of life it is but natural for
most men to do.
He never rode on an electric car,
steam train. bicycle, or automobile;
never been aboard ship on the water;
never been to a theater, athletic event,
or entertainment of any kind; never
used tobacco in any form or touched a
drop of intoxicating liquor; never went
outside of Gloucester voluntarily; in
fact, he has failed to do so many ordi-
nary things that he is seven days
wonder to the natives of Gloucester
and an object of interest to all the
small boys of the city.
Cross broke the news of his total alb
stinence to his friends last week upon
the occasion of his f1fty-f1fth birthday.
It was a proud day for Gloucester's ex-
ceedingly abstemious resident 1t was
well known that Mr. Cross was no.
much of hand at going about taking
in the sights and having high old
time, but when he reeled off a long list
of all the things he never did they
gasped in amazement.
Cross record would have been
stronger were it not for the fact that
a horse which he was driving once ran
away and before the scared animal
could be stopped he had gone beyond
the confines of Gloucester, and thus
broken his drivers record of never
having been outside the city.
Gloucester's home-loving man never
had that feeling in his veins which i'm
bued Kipling's Captains Courageous.
Great as are the fame and achieve
ments of Gloucester's mariners, Cross
cared naught for a life on the ocean
wave; he never had the least desire to
become a member of the great fleet
that calls Gloucester home; never went
aboard the ships that came into the
harbor, and rarely went down to see
them.
The beautiful spots around Manches-
ter, Rockport. and Beverly are as un-
known to Cross as the steppes of Rus
STA Boston in his mind is but a name.
Cross ascribes his record of never
having taken an electric or steam car
ride to his modesty. Somehow or 9TH
err the sight of an electric car or steam
train gives him a feeling of aversion,
and upon the rare occasions when he
might have been tempted to jump
aboard the electric cars which go by
his door his conscience would not al
low him.-Boston Post.

Day.

Portland. Ore, Aug. 31.-The Oregon
ian today says:
Portland Is to be made the distribut-
ing station for the combined output of
coal mines in southwestern Washing
ton, estimated at 1000 tons daily.
These properties, whose aggregate
value is SIS, 200, 900, have been consoli-
dated by T. S. McGrath, of this city,
and his associates. prominent Seattle
and Tacoma men according to an an
nouncement made by Mr.. McGrath.
The promoters of the enterprise declare
it is a purely commercial consolidation
by which mining and marketing ex-
penses will be reduced materially and
the product supplied for steamer, loco
motive and domestic uses. giving Gus
toners the benefit of economy in pro-
duction and lower prices.
Through the consolidation of several
of the smaller mines in the same fields

Equipment company of this city, Seat

At each county fair visited by one

ATLANTIC CITY DRY.
Governor Forts Threat Caused the Lid
to BE Put On.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 31.-But four
times in so years has Atlantic City been
as tightly closed and the liquor laws
so closely observed as Sunday. Even
the best known and most favored pat
rons of hostelries and cafes noted for
their wide open methods could not Sc
cure their coveted liquor. A bulletin
posted at police headquarters stated:
Saloons all closed. No troops in
town.
Another bulletin officially signed by
the chief of police consisted of a card
on which was printed:
I'm 1851 it was. Hold the Fort. Today
it is Fort Holds You"
Governor Fort in his proclamation of
last week containing his threat to send
troops to the seashore in the event of
further violation of the Sunday clos
ing law, had its effect. Saloonkeepers
and hotel men reluctantly accepted the
advice of the mayor and of the more
conservative members of the saloon
mems organization and closed their
places of business as tightly as they
knew how.
Screens came tumbling down satur-
day night and remained down all
day. Board walk cafes that on Sundays
past have been thronged to their ut
most capacity serving liquor and food
were all but deserted.
A spokesman for the affected liquor
interests and one of the local political
days closing would amount approx
mately to $150,00O.
He declared that the saloons would
close every Sunday hereafter until some
warrant of law will permit of their re-
naming open.
I'VE will appeal to the legislature
when it meets in January and have
hope of securing some sort of relief,
he said. I'VE win work for the passage
of a local option law which will put the
question squarely up to the people OF
the city and county. We have been
keeping open in the past as the result
of a public sentiment which we beliey-
ed to be in our favor. If we are wrong
we are willing to abide by the decision
of our own people. The permanent clos
ing of the saloons and hotel bars I'M
questionably would hurt the resort and
none Of us wants to see that"
The authorities of the city were much
pleased with the thorough manner in
which the law was complied with.
Chief of Police Woodruff stated that he
had expected there would be number
of arrests for excise violation, but there
had been none.

A Farewell in Lyon, Mass. to wo.
man Who Goes to Manhattan.

Boston, Aug. 31.-A brilliant farewell
reception was rendered Thursday even
ing to Miss Annie E. E. Lindsey, the

received her education in western COL

various points, including one as super
visor of public schools of Lincoln, Neb.,

His Foot Crushed.

William H. Copp. jr.. young man
employed at the Capital City brick
plant west of the city met with an ac-
cident late Saturday which may cost
him one of his feet and permanently
cripple him. While oiling the machin-
cry his foot slipped and was caught in
the gearing in such a way that it was
mashed and badly lacerated by a knife
which separates the bricks The foot
is split open from the toes to the in
step, besides being badly crushed. The
