Elections In Cuba Today.

Havana, Nov. 9.-On Saturday next
elections will be held throughout the
island for president, vice president,
senator's and representatives in the
lower house Of congress, to whom, ac-
cording to the present program, will
be committed the fate of the restored
Cuban republic on the termination of
the government of Intervention, Jan.
2S, 1909.
The troops Of the United States will
be withdrawn on that date, which Is
three days In advance of the date orig
inally set, In order that their depart
ure may mark the anniversary Of the
birth OF JOSEPH e. Marti, the Cuban
patriot, and the great body OF Cuhans
have striven during the last few
months toward a selection of candi-
dates who will best realize their de-
sire OF self-government.
Preparations for the elections are
now complete. All of the election OFF,
GERS have been appointed, the electoral
boards organized and the last ballots
distributed, aad the whole island is
absorbed in the outcome of the strug-
gle for supremacy. The Conservatives
are headed by General Mario Menocal
and DIR. Rafael Montoro, the presiden-
tial and vice presidential candidates
respectively, while General Jose M
Gomez and his former bitter rival in
the party leadership, Alfredo Zayas
are the nominees of the Liberal party
the Miguelista and Zayista factions Of
which finally united their forces In
support Of General Gomez, on the un.
Outstanding that he would not be nom.
mated for a second term.
1t Is assured beyond peradventurt
that absolute fairness will character.
lie the elections, about which every
safeguard has been cast by the pro
visional government, In accordance

with an elaborate election law framed
by the advisory commission, of which
Colonel Crowder is chairman. Both of
the political leaders have given abso-
lutte assurances that they will accept
loyalty the result Of the popular YER
dict.
There is practically no difference In
the platforms of the two parties, both
having as their chief planks the pres
ervation of the republic, equal rights
for all citizens, the encouragement of
agriculture and commerce, and the
maintenance of friendly relations with
the United States. ,fhe struggle is
frankly for tshe possession Of the gov
ernmcnt and the control of public pat
ronage.
Both General Gomez and General
Menocal are veterans of the revolution
and have a large following In virtue
of their distinguished services In the
field. DR.. Montoro Is the foremost Or
ator in Cuba and was nominated In the
expectation of his being able to con-
troll Of Spanish vote, but he Is I'M
popular with many Cubans on account
of his attitude during the revolution
when he held Office in the autonomous
government In the last days of the
Spanish regime.
Senior Zayes is the idol OF large
| section Of the Liberals. He was the
leader of the last uprising against
President Tomas Estrada Palma, but
his followers are suspected of giving
but lukewarm support to the candi-
dacy of General Gomez, between whom
and Senior Zayas there was an implac-
able feud until It was apparent that
the very existence of the Liberal party
was dependent upon compromise,
whereupon Senior Zayas withdrew his
pretensions to the presidency. The
two factions, however, did not actually
fuse, but Zayas accepted nomination
for the vice presidency, and the Zay-
istas promised to aid in the election
of the coalition candidates.
The business interests and the large
property elements are strongly In ia
lyor Of General Menocal, but the result
or the presidential ELECTION will prob
ably be very close.

Sent TO the Reform School.

The three children Of "Sagebrush"
Wilson were brought before Judge
Hagelin Wednesday for the purpose
of arranging to have them sent to the
reform school, not for committing any
depredations, but in order that they
may have an opportunity to get some
schooling. Mrs. Wilson was with the
children at the court house and plead
with Judge Hagelin to just give her
another chance and she would send
them to school, but the Judge would
not permit his sympathies to get the
better Of his Judgment. The children
were taken to st. Anthony Thursday.
The oldest one is 16 and the youngest
about Q years old.

BOGUS CHECK MAN vICTIMIZES
GROCERS.
George Crawford OF Nampa Passes
Worthless Paper on N. p. Neil.
son and Gets s6.15 in Change.


George Crawford, who claimed to be
sheepman from Nampa, passed boz
gus check for $40 on N. P. Nelson C
Sons, the grocers, on October q, pur-
chasing 1886 worth of groceries and
receiving $6.15 in change. The check,
which was drawn on the Citizens Ma
tional bank OF Nampa, was made pay
able to Crawford and was signed by
J. NJ. Henderson. Mrs. Nelson was
suspicious Of the check at the time II
was presented, but Crawford put up
such a good front and SO nonchalantly
announced that Henderson was worth
his thousands that the paper was ac-
cepted. When the bank was commu-
nicated with word came back that
another similar check had been re-
ceived; that Henderson was unknown
as customer and that the paper was
bogus. Crawford's present where
abouts are unknown.-PocatelIo Tri-

Announcement Is made that there
is shortly to be issued volume OF
pioneer "reminiscences from the pen of
w. A. Goulder, the pioneer writer and
editor who. in his eighty-seventh year,
has prepared a work that will be
found not only very interesting, but
that possesses value as a historical
production.
Especially will this book appeal to
the pioneers. 1t will recall the cir
cumstances Of their early struggles
and OF victories won over stubborn
nature and hostile redskins.
Mr.. Goulder has spent the greater
part of his life In the northwest. He
Is familiar with every phase Of It's
development. He has added his ener-
gies and his abilities to the work Of
carving an empire out OF a wilder
ness.
The people Of this state, the pion-
GERS as well as those who have come
more recently, could not record their
recognition Of the veteran writer's
efforts In a more fitting manner than
by making themselves possessors of
his contribution to the history of
Idaho. They will prize 1t both for
itself and because It has been the
product Of man who has been q
friend to all.

How They Run.

The editor Of the Herald and Fred
Fisk ran neck and neck for justice Of
the peace. The editor got the entire
Hearst vote and part of the Republic
can vote. Fisk got a portion of the
Democratic vote, and the socialist vote
was equally divided. The Prohibition
vote went solid against both. The re-
suit was a tie-they got two votes
each.-Parma Herald.

When splinter has been driven
deep into the hand, 1t can be extracted
without pain by steam. Nearly fill a
wide-mouthed bottle with hot water,
place the injured part over the mouth
OF the bottle and press tightly. The
suction will draw the flesh down,
and in a minute or two the steam will
extricate the splinter and the infia-
nation will disappear.-November

BILE for the purpose. But he was not
a second Braddock to be caught by
Indian wiles, and suspecting treachery
ordered every man to sleep on his
arms, and in such order that on
springing up he would fall naturally
into place in the ranks. A double line
Of sentinels was placed around the
camp, and the army slept. The night
was black as Trebus, and one may
imagine the strain on the nerves of
the lone sentinels pacing their beats,
peering into thickets, straining their
ears to catch the faintest sounds-all
the more alive to danger because they
were veterans in Indian warfare and
knew the habits of their dusky foes.
The Prophet meantime was not idle.
AS soon as night fell he called his
men about him, brought out a pre-
tended magic bowl and string of hoay
beans, and holding the latter in his
right hand, and flaming medicine
torch in the other, he commanded
every brave to come forward, touch
the beans and become invulnerable
and invincible. This done, he made
them register a vow to exterminate
the white man, frenzied them with
war songs and dances, and launched
them, band Of religious fanatics, on
the sleeping foe.
Stephen Mars, a sentinel on the
northwest angle Of the camp heard a
twig snap, the splash of a foot in
Burnet's creek, a smothered ugh"
of savage, fired his gun to alarm
the camp, and started in under Or
ders, but was overtaken and Drained
before reaching it, scores of the fleet
est braves having been detailed to
creep up on the sentinels and dispatch
them before they could give the
alarm. 1t was enough, however. The
| alarm had been given, and in an in
slant every man was on his feet and
in his place. Then ensued a combat
| such as seldom has been seen before,
for in moment the savages were in
the camp, and hand to hand fight
began. The rangers fred at the flash
of an enemy's gun, they went in with
dubbed muskets when the foe could
| be distinguished in the dim light OF
the campfire and when two bodies
came together in the darkness they
piled the trusty hunting knife or
tomahawk. Many a dusky soul that
night went over to the happy hunting
grounds in spite Of holy beans and in
carnations. Not one that entered the
camp got out alive. Many of the
bravest of the brave among the whites
also bit the dust. For some time the
issue was doubtful, but as soon as day
broke the aim of the rifemen and
the discipline of the regulars told
and the savages broke and fed, scat.
tering in all directions. Harrison was
drawing on his boots when the alarm
came and at once made such disposi
tons and bore himself SO we'll as tt
add greatly to the reputation he hat
already acquired in many a strenuous
campaign.

Infinite Possibilities.

So Oregon, having thrown SO per
cent of her votes for Taft, is to send
a senator to Washington who repre-
sents 80 per cent of her votes to OPP
pose Taft on all vital matters during
his whole administration? This Is
the way "the will of the people" is to
be fulfilled.
Or is 1t bunco game? Isn't 1t q
mere juggle? II 1t isn't bunco game,
where will you find one? II it isn't
juggle, has the word juggle any
standing in photography, any place
in the protest for moral ideas, or any
meaning synonymous with fraud and
GOWN, with pretense and falsehood,
with equivocation and indirection,
with imposture and deception?
Oh, well! OF course, all games"
in politics are fair. Lying, deceit, per-
jury, false registration and acknowl-
edgment Of 1t by the vote that counts
In the election-all these things are
instruments and agencies Of reform"
Old DR.. johnson, In wrath one day
at the false use Of the word patriot
ism, defined 1t as "the last refuge of
scoundrel." Somebody later, who
hated hypocrisy as heartily as even
johnson did, said that the old man,
when he defined patriotism as the last
refuge of scoundrel, clearly had
overlooked the infinite possibilities of
the word reform.-The Oregonian.

The Arabs Prida Of Blood

OF the Arabs pride traveller writes:
"I1e is proud of his own blood and Of
his mares blood for its own sake. He
will show you q broken down little
crock and inform you, with perfect
truth, that she is of the best blood In
the Jazirah: he will also show a fine
stallion Of his own and tell you he is a
'gdish,' or underlined animal, and there
is no doubt it is the bad thoroughbred
he admires and prefers to the finest
made cross breed. AS regards his
shaykh and tribal leader. he discrimi-
mates in an equal degree between the
clever warrior. astute diplomatist and
good business man OF low extraction
and the shaykh Of high lineage, who
may be a miserable epileptical crea-
ture, and always to the disadvantage
of the low born man."
