Carry The West.
A dispatch from New York says
James J. Hill. chairman of the board
of the Great Northern railway, who
came TO town on Thursday and is
going back to ST. Paul Sunday, made
some interesting remarks to his
friends in Wall street concerning
political conditions in the West.
Mr.. Hill said that the farmers
through the West have never paid
much attention TO Bryan until tie
past year or two, but that just now
there is Il strong sentiment among
the farmers. He said that the de-
mocratic vote through the West will
he larger this year than ever before,
and that if the republican campaign
managers do not put in the hardest
kind OF work that Mr.. Taft may be
defeated
He said that in some Western
states the republican politicians seem
to he suffering from over confidence,
but declared that the democratic
leaders are keenly alive to the posi-
hilities and may succeed in carrying
some Of the states that have here
tofore been considered safely republic
can, unless the Taft workers roll up
their sleeves and get busy. He said
that if the weather is bad on cleo
ton day this year and the percentage
of stay-at-home republicans for that
or any other reason is large. the
count of the ballots in the West may
bring some surprises.
Mr.. Hill was asked if oriental
steamship business is showing an i'm
provemcnt. and he declared empha-
tically that it is falling off rapidly
and is practically gone now beyond all
hone OF recovery. He said that con-
6itions were such that it is almost
useless for American vessels TO makca
fight for the oriental trade
For this reason Mr. Hill said he
did not credit the report that r. ii.
Hartman is considering the nurchas-
ing of the Oceanic Steamship line,
owned by the Spreckcls. He said ne

FIREBUG- PREACHER.
THE REV. GEORGE GAMBLE BE-
GINS THREE-YEAR SENTENCE.
Insurance Companies Declare He Has
an Unequaled Rccortl--His Oper-
ations Covered Three States.

The Rev. George r. Gamble, timer
ant preacher Civil war veteran with
a record for bravery and good soldier
ly conduct, is now at the penitentiary
in Columbus, o., to serve a three
years sentence for arson Insurance
company officials say that he has
more incendiary fires charged to his
account than any other man that
they have knowledge of.
Gamble was convicted Of setting
fire to gristmill near ZanesGeld.
Logan county, o., on the night OF
Oct. r, 1906, two weeks after he had
purchased the property for $1,000,
paying $1,000 in cash. and only two
days after he had insured it for So
500. At the time of inc fire Gamble
was several miles away. He receiY-
ed telephone message advising him
of what had occurred, but, accord
ing to the evidence brought out by
the defense. it seemed incredible.
Next day Camille contracted with
man in Cleveland to settle his claim
with the insurance companies agree
ing to pay him Il commission Of five
ucr cent. md this little negotiation
led to the downfall of the Rev. MIR.
Gamble. Under any but extraordi-
nary circumstances a man would
want to save the five per cent.
There have been many fires which
seemed more suspicious than the
grist mill near Zanefield, but there
are no fires of this character IN the
state of Ohio which do not receive

For the first time in the iiistory of
modern politics two rival candidates
for the Presidency Of the United
States will meet at the same board
and address the same aualence, when
VIM. II. Taft, Republican, OF Ohio,
and VIM Jennings Bryan, Democrat,
OF Nebraska are to be the guests of
honor at the annual banquet Of tne
Chicago Association of Commerce at
the Auditorium on the evening of
October &.
This announcement was made Fri
day at the headquarters Of the Chica-
go Association of Commerce. which
organization already had secured
assurances of the presence Of the two
Presidential nominees on different
days for the third Convention of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway
Association, for which the Association
of Commerce will act as host.
Mr Taft's acceptance was obtain
ed by President Richard c. Hall, Vice
President E. s. Conway and Secretary
T. E. Wilder, of the Association,
who returned to Chicago from Gin
cinnati Friday.
The long-distance telephone figur-
ed prominently in the negotiations
to secure the presence OF Mr.. Bryan
at the banquet. The invitation had
been under serious consideration by
Norman E. Mack, chairman OF the
Democratic national committee. for
some time, and at q late hour in the
night he called Mr.. Bryan, then at
Terre Haute, Ind. on the long-dls-
tance telephone. Mir. Bryan was in
formed, as Mr.. Taft had peen, that
the banquet would be non-politlcal
one, and that It would be held under
the auspicies of a non-partisan or
sanization. He readily agreed to at
tend. The deep waterways project IS
favored by the leaders Of both par
ties and is not, therefore, subject
over which any political discussion
is expected.
There will be no question as tc
which of the candidates will occupy
the right-hand seat. 1t Will be oc-
cupied by Mr.. Taft at the express
wish and with the full approval OF
the Democratic candidate and ms
friends. Chairman Mack declared
that Mr.. Taft. as a recent member OF
the present Administration, was
clearly entitled to the place OF hon
or ar the feast. The Ohioian. there
fore will sit at the right-hnd of Presi-
dent Hall, and the Nebraskan on the
other.
The meeting Of the two candidates
will differ from the meeting OF the
National Capital anI in the State OF
illinois forty-eight years ago, when
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A.
Douglas began their famous DEBATES
NV reason of the inhibition placed on
political discourse.
President Hall said that an atten-
dance of about 1000 persons was
expected at the banquet. In adoltlon
to the great banquet room OF the
Auditorium, the roms adjoining on
tho ninth floor of the Fine Arts build
;ne have been secured. and the whole
will be thrown together Tor the oc-
caSion.

ribbon filet fastens with large, fiat
jeweled pins at the top, sides or back
of the head. and oftentimes in all these
places, although rosettes and small
bows are substituted. Very lovely
likewise are the filets of flowers, es-
pecially those made of small white
silvered blossoms. Satin ribbon wired
and twisted into fanciful shapes is
WORN in the hair, and velvet, too, is
made up in the same style.
Dainty and girlish is an outstanding,
rather small bow of inch wide gold
gauze ribbon shimmering among a
tiny spray of pink rosebuds and maid
enhair fern. A shell hairpin is attach
ed to the ornament to secure it to the
hair. There are lovely silver and blue
combinations and double flet of pink
satin, with the bands held at the ends
with small pink satin roses.
Jet butterflies are charming. Indeed,
brilliant jet ornaments are the smart
rather unattractive jet snake that coils
itself about the hair in creepy fashion.
Coronets. Mercury wings. pins and ba-
rettes are to be seen either wholly of
jet or set with jewels.
The fashionable flets come in differ
ent lengths. Some encircle the head,
others go only halfway round, and a
third variety simply crosses the crown
of the head. There are some women
who cling persistently to the high Golf
fure, and the pins used with this kind
of hairdressing are of cabochon shape
and run through pompadour or coil
after the Japanese fashion. 1t takes

the strenuous life exemplified
in our hairdressing for the
last few years, but this winter
the Parisienne is rejoicing in the Wag-
merriam idea of simple couture exist
ence, and the new Grecian model is the
way in which the simple life expresses
itself in woman's fascinating tresses.
However, this is an elaborate simplicity
as formulated today. Large pompa-
dours. strings of applied puffs and
curls have ceased to exist for the mod
ish mondaine. Indeed, it is a question
whether the really well groomed wo-
man ever forgot herself sufficiently to
permit her head to be made the subject
of the cartoonist's wit. In adopting the
first empire and directoire styles
which Dame Fashion DEGREES smart
women must do, uniformity demands
that her hair should be dressed In
keeping. The classic Psyche knot ana
the Grecian filet, therefore, are things
to conjure with nowadays So hair
dressers have been visiting art mu-
seums to COPY the coiffures of ancient
statues, for you know it was from
Greek art that the empire couturiers
drew their Inspirations. 1t is quite
within the province of the up to date
girl to arrange her hair becomingly
either in the directoire style, the
Psyche or the modified directoire with
out the least particle of trouble when
she is given a few hints as to the mo-
dus operandi In dressing the hair in
any of these styles for the street the
pompadour still has part to play, for
no hair is luxuriant enough to stand
out at the sides unaided to meet the re-
quirements of the big directoire hat
AS a foundation a transformation is
used under the hair instead of an I'M
hygienic rat. This transformation
consists of a circular band of narrow
wire that exactly fits the crown of the
head. To this wire is attached the
false hair. varying in length and thick
ness according to the wearer's needs.
1t fits down securely on the crown of
the head, and a couple of hairpins, run
through tiny loops made for the pur-
pose, hold it in place. So. you see, in
this way there is no insanitary mat in
which dust and dandruff may find a
lodsment. only the narrow rim of wire
lying close to the head, while the hair
attached to it combs in naturally with
ones own.
The real hair is brushed down all
round the head and is then gathered
up, together with the false locks of the
transformation, and secured halfway
between the nape of the neck and the
crown of the head. The front and side
tresses are puffed out in loose, natural
looking waves at the sides and front,
and the hair is then either separated
into sections that are pulled or made
into single loose coil. When the hair
is too scanty to make much of a dis
play a few false curls or puffs are pin
ned over the knot to make it stand out
st the proper Psyche angle. OF course
II is much nicer to make the puffS
from the ends of ones own hair. but

hair of some one else The artificial

Der, tortoise SHE'LL metal and jet and
curves as to fit we'll about the base
of the Grecian knot. For ev eryday use
the amber and tortoise shell are most
seen. The usual form of the big ba-
rettes is plain oblong shield. Some of
the other varieties show irregular edges
and carved, inlaid or jeweled incrusted
surfaces. One of the best liked models
has the shield cut in an intricate all
over openwork design. Many of the
shell barettes are inlaid with silver or
gilt or incrusted with a design in bril-
liants. A number of the large barettes
do not follow this severe oblong model.
shape that adapts itself to the different
forms of fashionable hair doing. Some
curve up from the base of the neck to
the barette and high comb that fits in
al the top of the knot that match ex-
actly and are worn together.
For the woman who can successfully
wear the typical Grecian styles of hair
dressing there is nothing more becom
ing than an inch wide band of gold,
silver or FURNISHED metal carrying
chased Greek key pattern a stud
ding of semiprecious gems. More mod
ern adaptations of the antique filet are
in brilliant jet, in rhinestones and in
pearls, but these ornaments are not
nearly so effective as the one of strict
ly antique character. F'ilets of ribbon
i came near writing beef-too, are
very pretty and becoming for girlish
faces. Gold and silver gauze ribbon
is charming used in this way. The
