Fastino In japan.

From time out Of mind, says the Ja-
pan Times, certain devotees of that
country have visited celebrated tenn
pie at Narita twice a year to perform
the pious act of fasting withip its sa-
cred precincts. A fasting hall' has
been specially erected for their accom-
modation. Observations kept on 22G
men and 80 women who tasted showed
that of the whole number so tasted less
than week, ia tasted one week. 10
continued fasting two weeks, II tasted
three weeks. and one went without
food for five weeks. Inquiry as to the
motives of the fasters showed that 100
men and % women desired to rise in
the world, 13 men and women want.
ed to increase their business profits. 1G
men prayed for the safety of their fam.
ilies. 13 men and women sought cures
OF diseases and 10 men wanted general
good luck. Only three persons, two
men and one woman, tasted in graft
tude for the fulfillment Of former pray
ers. 1T need scarcely be said" re.
marks the japan Times, "that the peri.
cd of their fasting was the shortest"

MAINLY OF SMALL SUMS.
Democratic Campaign Fund Reaches
$22O,OOO.

New York, Oct. 9.-The Democratic
national committee is preparing to an
nounce the amount of its campaign
fund and the Individual contributors
of amounts of 500 and over and the
lists, which have been compiled to
date and sent here from Chicago, show
that the campaign fund is little over
$220,000. Of this fund something
over S1S0,000 has been collected from
contributors, which, with $4,000 of
the Denver convention fund, is the
total fund now in the Democratic
treasury.
1t is learned that there have been
fourteen individual contributors Of
$1,000 each and eighteen contributors
of $500 each. There have been no
contributions of sums between $1,000
and $500 to date. The Denver head
quarters of the national committee has
collected $4,000, which is said to in
c1ude a check of $1,000 from former
Senator William A. Clark of Montana.
The major part of the Democratic
campaign fund has come from dollar
contributors and from the Democratic
press which started campaign sub
scriptions.

EXPLOSION OF A
GRAIN ELEVATOR
Results in the Death Of Thr-
teen Persons.

Richford, VT, Oct. 8.-The large
grain elevator owned jointly by the
Canadian Pacific and the Boston and
Maine railroad exploded, killing twelve
men and one woman and injuring an
other woman probably fatally.
The explosion blew off the entire
roof of the building, scattering tim
bers in all directions, and almost in
stantly flames burst out all over the
structure. Twenty-one men were en-
lployed in the building and twelve per-
ished in the explosion or the fire fol
lowing. All lived in Richford.
Mrs. John Jellfore, who was walking
with a companion along the Canadian
Pacific track close to the elevator, was
burned to death and an unknown wo-
man who was with her was burned so
seriously that her life is despaired of.
The total loss is estimated at 100000.

Labor Injunction Passed on by
Court Of Appeals.
SIX SECTIONS ARE STRICKEN
Lower Tribunal Held to Have
Erred in Enjoining Peace
full Picketing.

Chicago, Oct. considerably mod
fled and with number of its para
graphs vacated the federal court in
junction issued against the Iron
Molders' union No. 125 of Milwaukee
during the strike at the plants Of the
Allis- Chalmers company several years
ago was upheld by the United States
circuit court of appeals. The decision
was rendered by Judges Grosscup, Ba-
ker and Seaman.
The injunction was issued by Judge
Sanborn of Milwaukee on complaint of
the Allis-C Chalmers company and re-
strained the union from picketing the
Allis-C Chalmers plants. Individual mem
beers of the union were later found
guilty of violating the injunction and
were punished for contempt of court.
The final decree of the court in the in
junction proceedings involved four To-
cal unions of the national organiza-
ton of iron molders and some sixty
individuals who were members and
officers of the unions. An appeal from
the decision of Judge Sanborn was
taken by the unions and presented to
the court of appeals last fall.
In enjoining the unions from picket
ing the higher court made modifica-
tions which makes the Injunction en-
join them only from "picketing in a
threatening or intimidating manner. .
The court also held that the lower
court went too far in prohibiting
peaceful picketing and held that there
was no reason for enjoining boycott
because none existed.
The injunction contained sixteen
paragraphs, each making a provision
against the unions. OF these para.
graphs six were vacated entirely and
three were modified by the court OF
appeals. The remainder were affirmed
and allowed to stand.

Roosevelt has announced that he
would make no speeches in support of
the candidacy of William H. Taft for

was made during a call of Senator
Hemenway of Indiana, one of a series
of conferences at the White House.
Mr.. Hemenway asked the president re
garding the report that he would take
the stump. The president replied that
he had received numerous requests to
do so, but he thought it was un-
necessary and made the unequivocal
statement that he would not make any
speeches. Mr.. Hemenway declared
that both the national and state tick.
cts would be elected in Indiana.

RIVALS MEET At BANQUET
Taft and Bryan Guests Of Chicago
Association.


Association.
Chicago, Oct. 8.-W. j. Bryan and
W. II. Taft, rival candidates for the
presidency of the United States, met
at the fourth annual banquet of the
Chicago Association of Commerce.
The meeting is said to have been the
first of it's kind since the Lincoln and
Douglas campaign preceding the Civil
war.
After handshake and the exchange
of pleasantries both candidates made
speeches, Mr.. Bryan speaking first.
He discussed regulation of corpora
items, but in advocating his ideas he
did so with the wariness of one who
knew he was addressing an audience
made up of the directors of corpora
lions.
Mr.. Taft's theory of the most inn
portant question before the public is
that the courts must do equal and
exact justice to rich and poor alike.
1t was one of the striking features
OF the unusual occurrence of the meet
ing of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan that
either could have made the speech OF
the other without offending the most
partisan follower

their differences becoming so serious
that they finally reached the Delaware

an exchange of angry words on the
second floor and on going up the stairs
found Erb beating his wife. Whether
Mrs. Beisel had the revolver with her
at the time or ran into her bedroom
and got it was not disclosed. Accord
