CAUSES SOME ALARM
IN EASTERN PRUSSIA
Cholera Spreading Rapidly in.
St. Petersburg.

Berlin, Sept. The announce
ment that there have been nineteen
deaths from Asiatic cholera in st.
Petersburg has caused a disagreeable
shock throughout Eastern Prussia and
in Berlin, which city is within four
hours train journey of the Russian
border. The news has brought out a
quieting declaration to the public from
the Prussian ministry Of health, in
which it is said that every arrange
ment has been made for dealing with
the cholera should it cross the, Ger
man frontier.
Although the disease is widely
spread in Russia the type does not
appear to be virulent and there have
been comparatively few deaths. The
government has proclaimed a quaran-
tine on all Russian vessels arriving at
German ports from st. Petersburg,
Kronstadt and the Black sea.

KAISER ON FRENCH SOIL.
First German Ruler to Cross the Line
Since 1871.


Paris, Sept. 1.-The government
has received official information that
Emperor William, the army maneu.
vers in Alsace-Lorraine being at an
end, crossed the French frontier in an
automobile as a "simple tourist" for
the purpose of enjoying the magnid.
cent view from the top of the Schlucht
mountains.
Although considerably astonished
that Emperor William should choose
the present moment for the first visit
to French territory made by a Ger
man emperor since the king Of Prus-
sia was proclaimed emperor at Ver-
sailles in 1871 the government at once
dispatched instructions to the customs
officials to allow the imperial automo-
bile to pass the frontier without ex-
animation and for the proper guarding
of the route by gendarmes to prevent
any unfortunate incident.
According to the official advices the
emperor traversed only about one hun
dred yards of French soil in order to
reach point whence he could view
the splendid panorama. The view in
cludes the plain of Upper Alsace, the
lakes of Longemer and Gerardmer and
the valleys of the Cologne and Mos>-
lotte rivers, which flow through pine
forests into the Moselle

DETAILS YET INCOMPLETE
Taft to Make Tour of the East, West
and South.

Cincinnati, Sept. 1l.-Three trips
are contemplated in the Taft itin-
erary, West East and South. Judge
Taft said there was no longer any
question about the Western trip. ri
will take that trip without question: -
he remarked, "although it's details are
not arranged. AS to the East and
South the question is not so definitely
settled"
A. I. Vorys, the candidates chief of
staff, has left here for New York per.
sonally to represent Judge Taft be.
fore the committee during it's work on
the travelling itinerary of the candi-
date Mr.. Vorys, it was said, will
bring back with him the plan of the
committee. The plan to have Mr..
Vorys go to New York was decided
upon after conversation over the
telephone between Judge Taft and
National Chairman Hitchcock
In discussing the probabilities Of
his Western trip Mr. Taft said it was
not likely he should go to the Pacific
coast. That he will speak in st. Louis
and Kansas City seemed assured, but
the plans, he repeated, were not ma
tured and any prediction now made
was purely conjecture. After the re-
turn of Mr.. Vorys the plans he brings
with him will be subject to the ap.
proval of Judge Taft before their final
adoption. He said Mr.. Vorys takes
with him no specific instructions or
suggestions, but, added the candidate,
''Vorys has been with me and knows
closely what I think regarding per-
haps any question likely to arise with
reference to the plans to be made and
it will undoubtedly be a great assist
ance to the committee to have him
present"

Danton and tho Organ Grinders.


Paris has more than once made war
on organ grinders. There, as here, they
have their enemies and also their
champions. The war, however, is an
old one, and politicians had time to at
tend to it even at the height of the
revolution.
No less man than Danton then took
the part of the musicians.
"Citizens," he cried from the tribunal,
II hear that an attempt is being made
to prevent the organ grinders Of Bar
barry from playing their tunes as usual.
Do you think, then, that the streets Of
Paris are too gay? Have the people Of
Paris too many songs on their lips?
One after another our liberties are be-
ing wrested from us. Leave us at
least the liberty Of listening to the Or
gans of Barbary, of hearing from them
our favorite songs and refrains."
Danton was guillotined for reasons
with which this speech had nothing to
do, but the Grafton containing these
sentiments was the last that he had
the opportunity of delivering as a
member Of the convention.-Westmi
ster Gazette.

GUESTS AT The
SAME { !. BANQUET | ! IN
Taft and Bryan to Meet in.
Chicago on Oct. I.
AFFAIR IS NONPARTISAN.

Besides the Presidential Candidates

and a Number Of congressman and
Senators Are Expected to Attend.

Chicago, Sept. L William. H. Taft
and William J. Bryan, riv9 candidates
for the presidency of the United
States, will meet at Chicago Oct. z at
a banquet given by the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce, according to an
announcement made here by W.. D.
Moody, business agent of the associa-
tion. The speeches will be non-polit-
ical ~~
In addition to Mr.. Bryan and Mr.,
Taft it is expected that some eighteen
governors of states and number of
congressman and senators will be at
the banquet board. .:..s
Mr.. Taft's acceptance was obtained
at Cincinnati recently when a commit
tee of prominent members of the AS
sociation of Commerce, accompanied
by committee of the Deep Water
ways commission, which will begin
three days. session here on Oct. T.,
called on the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Bryan agreed to be present dur
ing long telephone conversation
which he held Thursday night with
Norman E. Mack, chairman of the
Democratic national committee. Mr..
Bryan was called from his bed at 1
a. m. at Terre Haute and the matter
of the invitation discussed. The Dem
ocratic leader approved an acceptance
and Mr.. Moody was notified OF the
fact.
The coming together of the two men
at present looming largest in the pub
lie eye was made possible by the deep
waterways convention, at which from
three to five thousand delegates are
expected to be present. AS this move
ment, as well as the Chicago Asso-
citation of Commerce, is nonpartisan it
was felt that the occasion was an ex-
cellent one for the meeting of the two
candidates. In extending both invita-
, tfons the non-political motive of the
banquet was emphasized and it is be,
lieved that both Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Bryan will confine their remarks to
waterways and possibly business mat
ters. 1t is hoped to secure the at
tendance of J. P. Morgan and a CON-
mittee of the local organizations has
left here for New York to call upon
the financier.

Milkina the Cow.

'Milkmen have different ways OF
managing their cows, but generally
they feed each COW and begin milking
as soon as the cow begins to eat"
says dairyman. .sThe mixer hurries
to get through, too, because If the cow
finishes her breakfast before the milk
er has done his work she EFFORTS more
feed by holding back her milk, SO must
be fed again to keep her in good hu-
NOR. Some milkmen do their milking
first and then feed Immediately, and
cows that are accustomed to this treat:
ment generally give down their milk
cheerfully, for they know that milking
Is prelude to the feeding. It all de-
pends on habit and the way the COWS
are treated, for cow Is much smarter
than she looks and more grateful than
most persons would believe. So long
as the cows know they are not going
to be struck or beaten they will neither
kick nor hook. An experienced milk
man will never allow any loud talking
or excitement about his barns, for the
quieter the cows are kept the greater
the quantity of milk and the easier the
work."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

|NvADES CAMP
OF THE ENEMY
Bryan Makes a Number OF
Speeches in Ohio.
LABOR ISSUE TO THE FORE

Democratic Candidate Declares That
Question Is Assuming More and
More Prominence in the Campaign
and Asserts That His Party Is the
Friend of the Worker, as Shown by
Its Platform.
Dennison, O., Sept '.-Speeding
on to Wheeling, w. Va, where he is
scheduled to make formal address,
William J. Bryan, the Democratic can
didate for president, conducted his
campaign into the very camp of the
enemy and delivered numerous
speeches in the native state of Mr.
Taft, his chief opponent. He pointed
out to his several audiences that the
indications were all favorable to Dem
ocratic success and that the party
could safely be entrusted with the
reins of government. Addressing a
large and enthusiastic gathering OF
workingmen employed in the shops at
this place Mr.. Bryan declared that
the platforms of the two parties with
respect to the labor question were
assuming more and more prominence
in the campaign and especially since
Speaker Cannon has undertaken to de.
fend the position of the Republican
party. He then discussed the planks
of the Democratic platform and indi
Gated those which, in his opinion, will
be most beneficial to the workers.
"The Democratic party takes the
side of the laboring man." he de.
clared, amidst shouts of approval,
"and the Republican party the oppo-
site side''
Taking up the tariff Mr.. Bryan as.
serted that the Republicans were be.
ginning to find that they are not pre-.
pared to meet the arguments present
ed by the Democrats because they are
beginning to threaten. They are be-
ginning to present scares and Mr..
Taft admits the weakness of his case
when instead of trying to show that
the Republican position on the tariff
question is right and the Republican
position on the trust question is right
he warns the country that if it does
not elect him to Office there will be a
panic: Mr.. Taft, he said, had start
ed panic at the wrong time. "There
was a time," remarked Mr.. Bryan,
when the Republicans could use the
panic argument and deceive the peo-
pie, but that time has passed."

st. Petersburg, Sept. The Ash
attic cholera is spreading in St. Pc

statistics is taken to mean that the
city authorities failed to take proper
precautions against an epidemic when
the first suspicious cases were discov-
cred fortnight ago. The last bull
letin issued reports fifty-two cases
and eighteen deaths, but it is believed
that treble that number exist within
the city limits.
The health commission admits that
there are 102 other cases of sickness
that are being watched. One hundred
doctors have been drafted into the
cholera squad at salary of $3.50 per
day. The city has chartered a special

superintendent House. of the United
States Indian school at Rapid City, has
received word from Washington that
the congressional committee having in
charge the $2l 900 appropriation for
additional improvements at the school
there has acted favorably, and in all
probability the money will be available
for starting work this summer The
contemplated improvements include
50, COO for a domestic science course,
So 900 for general repairs including
cement walks, $1,000 for perfecting a
private water system and $4,000 for
installing sewage tank. The improve
ments mentioned were personally advo-
Gated at Washington by Superintendent
House on a recent visit to the national
capital
A week ago last Monday, at Sioux
Falls, Fred Linch, who for the past two
years has been telegraph editor in the
Argus Leader. was divorced from Mrs.
Rose Linch, whom he had married
several years ago She had had a
daughter by previous marriage. The
girl was raised in the Linch family, and
instead Of paternal affection between the
girl and her step-father love entered
into the home, and Cupid's shaft was
shifted from the mother TO the daughter.
On the day after the divorce Lnch
promptly secured marriage license
and was married by County Judge
Bailey, of Sioux Falls. Then arose the
question as to the legality OF the mar
riage. The assistant county attorney
was consulted, and he gave it as his
opinion that the marriage was illegal
When this ruling was made the county
clerk requested that Linch return his
license. He did so anu secured his fee.
The South Dakota Law governing the
case follows: II either party to mar
rage be incapable from physical causes
of entering into the marriage state, or
if the consent of either be obtained by
fraud or force, the marriage is voidable.
Every marriage of a step-father with
step daughter, or of step-mother with
a step-son, is illegal and void. Since
his failure in Sioux Falls, he has tried
both Iowa and Nebraska and found that
the laws of both states are against him.
The Iowa law says that if man mar
rips his wife's daughter he shall be
deemed guilty of incest. The couple
are determined and say they will go to
Utah if necessary for the contamination
of their marriage.
South Dakota's delegation to Chi
cago will be instructed, and 1t will
be instructed for Taft.
