The personality of Senator
William J. Stone dominated the
Denver convention, and he was
everywhere regarded as Mr..
Bryan's closest friend and most
trusted adviser, He was con
suited and looked to in all mat
tiers of great importance coming
before the convention, and next
to Mr.. Bryan, he was generally
regarded as the strongest leader
and most astute politician. Gov
ernor Folk, whose admirers pre-
dicted that he would be a large
figure at the Denver convention,
actually amounted to so little
that he was practically an I'M
known. This must have brought
keen disappointment to his sup
porters, who first hoped to make
him President, then Vice-Presi-
dent, and finally showed a strong
disposition to take anything Of
fored, but the offer never came.
The Governor returned home
with his popularity and impor.
lance considerably lessened anc
with nothing to point to as ad.
ditional reason for his nomina.
ton to the Office of United States
Senator. In the event of Mr.
Bryan's election William Joe
Stone will be easily the most in
fluential man in Democrat,
councils, as he is to-day, Will

A Great and Openipg

A number of exceptional OPP
Eportunities are now beingiofered
by the Government for enterpris-
ing and intelligent farmers to Sc.
cure choice farms on a dozen or
more large irrigation projects
which r nearing completion.
Owing to the rapid narrowing
of the limits Of the unoccupied
public domain, it is doubtful il
these opportunities will ever oc-
eur again. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the West will see one
OF the greatest ipfuxes OF home
seekers in 1908 that has been
witnessed 10 many years.
The great fertility and wonder.
fnl crop yields IRON irrigated
lands, and the favorable terms
the Government offers settlers,
warrants the belief that before
the year closes not a single farm
will be without its entryman.
These farms are located ia North

Good Labor is, Scare in tine South.
Though it is seeking improved

BILE and rowing band, whom, even
to this day, it is impossible to

est result of this has been to
break up large holdings into
small farms. There are very few
men now, in any of the States,
who grow great acreages of cot
ton as in old days. Instead the
land ,ls divided into one-mule
and two mule farms, and these
are let out to tenants, generally
black, but often white, who farm
on haIi>shares OF the crop. The
landlord furnishes land and
house, the tenant provides stock
and implements. The crop is
evenlyidivlded. Good supervis-

We thank the many who have
favored us for their cordial sup

We desire especially to thank
those who have aided us with

In leaving, we wish for all a

In this connection, a word as

Never has an Elks committee of arrangements worked so hard and SO earnestly for the success of fair as has the present one. The mem- bers have been busy night and day and they believe that their efforts are to be crowned with success. To- morrow night the fair opens. There will be big parade prior to the opening and all the members are ex- pected to be in the line of march. Red fire will be burned galore. The Empire Women's orchestra will be in the parade in carriages. The new Mitchell touring car. which is to be given away will be carried around in the parade on one of Blakesley's big vans The pretty Paris Miss that Is to go to some little ones home. will smile from her seat of honor in the Grieve, Bisset & Hol- lands window. as the paraders pass her by and tip their hats 10 the lit- tie beauty.

SECURES HUSBAND
 BY DOCTORS SKILL
She Almost Lost Him But the Doctor Came to Cupid's
 Rescue.

Boston, Nov. 4.-One of our wealthy women has just announced her weddinH after . most remarkable courtship in which Cupid. two hearts, doctor and a blemished face played important roles.
 / For years the couple were engaged but although she was wealthy, highly educated and of a pleasing personality all that Cupid requires of woman she was blemished in facial appearance and he was reluctant to marry her.
 Atrast-in desperation-she appealed to pr. A. L. Nelden, the famous Beauty Specialist of IS East 18th Street, New York, to have scar, a mole and some superfiuous hairs removed.
 When the doctor heard that he must aid Cupid by removing the only ob. stacle, he entered upon the work eagerly, for it demonstrated how futile money, intelligence and social position are when the face is even slightly blemished.
 The work was not only successful and painless, the bride announces leaving no scars and guaranteed to be perman- ent. but she is also pleased to have read that the doctor is willing to send samples of these discoveries to all who write him. Cupid has won another victory which would have been impos sible except for Dr. Nelden' skill

JACQUES
VAUDEVILLE

Howard and North in their skit Back to Wellington" easily won the place of merit on the bill at Jacques last evening. Their offering is full of humorous dialogue and the sketch though simple in itself becomes headline act because of the ability of the two comedians. The scene is laid in village where the popula- tion numbers three families and the comedy of course is of the rube kind. Senor Arnoldo with his troupe of jaguars, partners and leopards has a remarkable act. Arnoldo stays in the cage with the animals during the entire act and has only small whip. The animals comply to his every command and apparently are very fond of their trainer for last evening at times they showed their affection. ArnoldO displays an iron nerve and sends his pets through act which is very entertaining. The Ange- lus' said to be symphony in four
 scenes is the number presented by the Village Choir. After some chord singing in front of drop the quar- t0C SHES lfOH q CuuTCH, UelHS dC- companied by an organist. The act
 is similar in most respects to other acts of this kind. The finale of the act is the showing of picture of The Angelus in the background. Eddie Mack is one of the most clever dancers seen at Jacques in some weeks. My, but he is smooth. It is something of a puzzle though why he has Dot Williams on the stage with him. She adds nothing to the
 act. Kathryn Miley, who styles her
 self the U. s. A. comedienne was hooted last evening. She should

 it to extremes and her efforts to get by last evening at the expense of the
 Irish race got her in trouble. She ! would do much better if she confined
 herself to singing and forget trying
 to make smart remarks. Coombs and Stone in "The Last of the Troupe" and Oscar Lorraine, violin ist, are other numbers on the pro- gramme The latter was well re-
 ceived last night. The latter part of | the show is much better than the | first,
