Turtle Lake Correspondence.

Last Tuesday evening about 10
o'clock an old dismantled box
car standing near the side track
and used for sleeping quarters for
some of the railroad boys caught
fire and burned down. A mail
car and a passenger coach that
had been left standing on the side
track near by, were also destroyed.
The people responded quickly but
as there was not sufficient steam
in the engine to move it and no
water near by, little could be done.
One passenger coach, however,
was saved. Some money and
several articles of value belonging
to the crew were lost also. Had
the wind blown from the northeast
instead Of from the northwest
the town would bave been in
great danger Of destruction.
The First State Bank is having
a fire proof vault constructed.

Mercer Correspondence.

Would like to shake with the
writer of "Fault Finder in the
cClusky Gazette he told the
truth and the people need to be
told the truth. If there. is any
thing despisable it is to hear peo-
pie always finding fault and never
trying to do anything themselves
to make things different. If the
country and people don't suit them
why don't they get out and make
room for some one else.
w. T. Stone Of near Mercer is
enjoying visit from his brothers,
N. J. and Clyde Stone of Basset,
Via. If they like the country
they will locate here permanently.
They were very much surprised to
find the country so thickly set
tied and such good buildings
and SO many churches and school
houses.

among such politicians and news
i paper editors as are willing to
prostitute themselves or their col.
umns in the interest of Mr.
Hansbrough's opponents. Why
is this being done? Perhaps be-
cause they fear that it will be
their turn next. At any rate it is
being done, and no railway cor
corporation issues transportation to
any individual without what it
considers to be an adequate re-
turn. Many of the delegates to
the county conventions were given
free transportation to the county
seats. What was this extraordi-
nary liberality on the part Of
these corporations? Perhaps
some delegates, if they could be
induced to speak might tell, it is
safe to say that rome Of the friends
Of Senator Hansbrough benefited
by it.
During his years of service in
the senate, Mr.. Hansbrough has
made an enviable record for him
self. In his capacity of. chairman
Of the committee on public lands
he has been able to render val
liable service to the people of the
western part of the state. He has
at all times been alert to their in
terests and quick to see and meet
their necessities. Himselfa a home
steader in the early days he has
passed thru the hardships Incl
dent to pioneers life and knows
what it means to hold down a
claim. In the winter of I9O6-7,
when OIL account of the severity
of the weather 1t was dangerous
and almost impossible for home
steaders to reside upon their
claims, he, it was who came to the
rescue and rushed thru congress a
bill making it possible for them
to leave their land without endan-
gering their rights. This act
alone should entitle him to the
unanimous support of the people
not only Of northern Williams
county but the western part. of
the state. During the present
session of congress he has put
thru a bill enabling homesteaders
who for any reason are dissatis-
fed with their claims to obtain a
change Of entry without the delay
and red tape which was formerly
required before a change of entry
could be made. It was thru his
efforts that the appointment of U.
S. commissioners with authority
to take proofs near the home
steaders' land was made.
In larger field it was he who,
after a hard fight, succeeded in
forcing thru congress the denat-
tured alcohol bill. This was one
of the most important pieces of
Legislation passed in late years,
though its effects has to large
extent, been nulitied by the acti-
vity of the Standard Oil company.
By his activity in the matter he
incurred the enmity of that cor
poration, and it is undoubtedly us
ing it's best efforts in conjunction
with other corporations, to COM
pass his defeat.
To oppose these wealthy and
powerful interests Senator Hans
brough has no one to look for sup
port but the people, for whose in
terests he has toiled. They can
render good and efficient service if
they will. Let them not be de-
ceived or cajoled by the false and
hypocritical statements made by
paid political workers or a corrupt
press, but go to the primaries and
cast their ballots for the man who
has SO long and faithfully served
them.

Law FREES HELEN MALONEY
MARRIAGE TO OSBORNE AN
NULLED BY COURT.
Interlocutory Decree Made Final To-
day by Justice Gerard in New
York City.

NEW YORK, September 17.--Miss Helen
Maloney. daughter of Martin Maioney Of
Philadelphia, was today granted a final
decree annulling her marriage to Arthur
Herbert Osborne of this city.
The decree was granted by Justice
Gerard in the supreme court on the ap
plication of Miss Maloney's attorney.
Miss Maloney was married to Osborne
by justice Of the peace in Mamaroneck
about two years ago. but subsequently
remained at home with her parents in
Philadelphia until she eloped with Sam
uel Clarkson to Canada, whence the couple
went to England.
Her father followed the pair and brought
his daughter back with him. Soon after
a suit was brought by Miss Maloney for
annulment OF her marriage to Osborne on
the ground that it was invalid
The motion to make final the inter-
locutory decree granted in this suit four
months ago was granted today on de-
fault. 1t leaves Miss Maloney legally
free to wed Clarkson should she choose
to do
1t is said the application for the final
decree was postponed because the ques-
tion has not yet been decided by the
papal court ip Rome as to whether an
annulment of marriage granted by the
civil courts will place Miss MalOney in
the position of an unmarried woman and
enable her to again marry without vio-
alton of the tenets of the Roman Catho-
lie Church.

banked foolishness-or words to that eff
fect-written about the test rides last
year. He was not going to risk a repeti-
ton of it.
Thus it is that the readers of The Star
will have to be content with plain and
didactc account of the auspicious event
and rest quiet in the assurance that the
column was sighted going through Cher
rydale about 8 O'Clock in the morning,
having made the phenomenal average
speed of almost six miles an hour.
They were then headed toward Falls
Church with nobody holding on by the
Names and like the South African
mounted infantry, not losing their stirrups
much.
If all goes well and the ambulance is
not overloaded the cavalcade will arrive
at Fairfax Court House some time this
afternoon or evening. There is no fear
expressed that the horses will be unable
to continue the journey for another
thirty miles tomorrow.
1t is planned to camp at Fairfax Court
House tonight, and somewhere else to-
morrow night. After that the horses and.
it is hoped. some of the riders will COM
plete the last thirty miles of the return
to Fort Myer.
It is officially denied from the War De-
partment that the depot quartermaster
has shipped a supply of air cushions to
Fairfax Court House. And there is no
record of any return transportation hav-
ing been issued on the electric line run
ming back from there to Fort Myer.

ALBANY, Western Australia. Septem-
Der 17.-The American battleship fleet is
to leave here tomorrow instead of today,
as originally planned, on its long trip to
Manila, where it is due the I'd or Sd of
October. Rear Admiral Sperry, the COM
mander-in- chief, today received the fol-
lowing telegram from Alfred Deakin, the
premier of the commonwealth:
Tomorrow you leave Australia after
experiences that l trust. have been as
pleasurable to you as to the people of
the commonwealth. The officers and men
of your fleet have been welcomed every
where warmly and sincerely. We have
learned to know you. and we are under
obligation to President Roosevelt and the
American government for the honor of
this visit Although your stay with us
has been short we rejoice in this for
tunate opportunity to refresh the cordial
relations existing between two progress
i've and related peoples
we cherish the same traditions and
ideals as do you. 1t is the ardent hope
of our citizens that the friendship be-
tween the British empire and the Amer
lean republic be strengthened, and with
us in Australia many new and personal
ties have been established, which we
trust will endure and flourish.
Your flag. your feet. your sailors and
yourself carry the good wishes of all

Admiral Sperry. commander of the At
lantlc fleet. according to estimates made
at the Navy Department, will have saved
$4,000 in coal consumption of the At
lantic fleet by the time the fleet reaches
the east coast of the United States from
its voyage around the world. A cable
gram received by the Navy Department
today from Admiral Sperry requests the
department to reduce by 5000 tons his
original estimate of the coal necessary
for the fleet on the voyage from Manila
TO Hampton roads. On the voyage from
Hampton roads to San Francisco syS-
tenn of competition in the engine-room
forces of the various battleships was in
stituted The competition resulted in
saving 1.J0O tons on the trip. and was
continued across the Pacific.
The Navy Department will ask Con-
gress for an appropriation of $500 for
prizes to be distributed among the engine
room force of ships showing special econ
omy and efficiency in coal consumption.
