Odd Fellows Anniversary.

The anniversary of the organization of the Odd Fellows which was held at Pleas ant Hill today was one of the largest that has left this city on a pleasure-seek- ing jaunt. Great crowds of people left the city at an early hour this morning and in addition to that there were q number who went out this afternoon.
 The day was an ideal one for picnic and a general day of good fellowship and merrymaking. Gardner Goodwin, the orator of the day, was at his best and his talk on the benefits to be derived from being good Odd Fellow and try ing to live a good and clean life, were very much enjoyed and appreciated by all present.
 After the speaking dinner was served on the ground and again the people around Pleasant Hill outdid themselves It will be remembered that once before on the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone of the Pleasant Hill school that the lad es around there did thei, best to please the great crowd that was on hand and in this instance they also held up their reputation as good enter tainers and the day was one long to be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be on hand.
 Quite a number of people came down from Birmingham and made the trip, re- turning to the city at late hour this afternoon.

DEBTS OF A DUKE
 SEND HIM TO EXILE
MONEY LENDERS ARE THE CAUSE
 OF THE DISMISSAL OF THE . COUSIN OF GERMANY'S GROWN PRINCESS.

Berlin April 25.-The young Duke of Heinrich of MecllenburgsSchwerin, a cousin of the crown princess has just been dismissed from his regiment because of the helpless state of his debts. He be- came the victim of money lenders, and to save an open scandal he has been obliged to abandon his military career and go into exile.
 The duke, who is only 23. foolishly tried to get rid of his debts by complicated dealings with money lenders, who nat urally fastened upon him like vultures. They got him to put his name to numer- ous documents, which only made his case more desperate Even then he did not get a tithe of the money he negotiated for the "financiers" handing him various lots of useless goods in lieu of cash. In one instance it was a stock of childrens cof- fins, and in another a string of ancient and worthless horses, upon which he had to realize on the best terms he could.
 Incompetence in financial matters seems to be hereditary in the young mans fam fly, for his father, Duke Paul Friedrich, was two years ago placed under guardian ship by order of the head of the house, the Grand Duke Friedrich Franz ", be- cause of his enormous debts.

Difficult Tunnel Construction.

One of the most difficult problems which confronted the builders of the Hudson tunnels was the construction of the ap- breaches leading from the river tunnels to the Church street terminal station, says Walter Mueller in Cement Age. These approaches are enlargements of the tunnels permitting the multiplication of two tracks on both Fulton and Cort- landt streets, each confined to separate shield driven tunnel, into five tracks with in the terminal building limits. In order to carry out this work, almost the entire width of each street had to be excavated to an approximate depth of 45 feet below the curb for a distance of one block. At the same time all underground im- provements such as sewers, water and gas pipes and electrical conduts had to remain undisturbed; and facilities for uninterrupted surface traffic had to be furnished as well. The streets mentioned are two of the most badly congested avenues of traffic in lower New York. Congestion on Fulton street is particular
 ly severe due to the double line of street car tracks running along it's entire length. The method of construction en1- ployed was open excavation to a depth of about 15 feet below the surface of the street. This necessitated it's construction of a plank roadway and sidewalk span ming the excavation and the suspension of all pipes and wires from overhead girders. Reinforced concrete caissons or an average size of 20x35 feet were then sunk adjacent to each other and separat- ed by a temporary bulkhead. After the caissons had been sunk to grade, the joints between them were made water tight and the bullSheae removed. The work as carried out by this method has proved very successful. The entire ex- cavation was 6SO feet long and required the removal of approximately 450O0 cubic yards of material, and the placing of about 12,OO0 yards of concrete. containing 700 tons, or about three miles of twisted steel rod reinforcing. On this work and the adjacent tunnels alone, as many as 7oo men have been employed at one time.

A bond for the faithful perform

CLUBS DOING
GOOD WORK
Republican Organ
izations Getting in
Results---Snarl in
Democratic Lines

The Ely City Taft club will hold
regular meeting tonight at its
headquarters in room l in the Gunn-
Thompson building, at which all Re-
publicans in the precinct and all WIS.,
iting Republicans will be made well
come.
Tomorrow night the Republican
club of Ely will meet and will be
glad to have all Republicans in at
tendance. 1t has been stated as
probable that at this meeting there
will be a discussion of matters per-
tanning to the approaching county
convention. which falls on Tuesday
next and 1t is desirable that all Re-
publicans be on hand.
The Republican club at Smelter
and other clubs in various precincts
of the county are holding meetings
with results attendant of the same
excellent character as those which
have come from the sessions of the
Ely and Ely City clubs. These re-
suits we're plain in the large vote
cast at the Republican primaries and
have given Republicans throughout
the county full assurance that they
/ have only to vote in November in or
der to carry the county by majority
of around 500.
The showing made to date has
thoroughly disheartened the Democ-
racy of the county, which now adopts
an apologetic tone in discussing its
evident and painful weakness. The
last few days these apologetic state
ments have indicated that for the
! failure which is ahead the machine
! faction of the party is to be made to
carry the blame. Numerous errors
are charged to the machine, culminat-
ing in the program of Saturday last,
when the anti-machine people We're
buried under the votes of a couple
hundred people who were drawn In

races without regard to the rules
supposed to govern party primaries
and without regard to the regulations

zenship or anything else except the
casting of a ballot against those of
/ the party who were not on the ma
chine slate for primary or conyen-
tion honors. These things have
made for a condition of affairs that
puts the county Democracy badly in
the hole.
After the Republican convention
on next Tuesday, the Republicans of
the county will be in shape to take
up their campaign vigorously and
push it steadily and enthusiastically
up to the closing of the polls on cleo
tion day. The spirit has already been
demonstrated to do this and it is as

TAFT Is WARNED OF
PLOT AGAINST LIFE
Letter of Unknown Man, Printed by

lice for Consideration.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. S.-The To-
peka State Journal today prints an
unsigned letter. mailed in Topeka in
the latter part of August and ad-
dressed to Judge William II. Taft, in
which the writer warns the Republi-
can presidential nominee of an al
legged plot to assassinate him, The
letter. which was remailed fo the
chief of police by direction OF Judge
Taft. was made public here today
by the latter official. 1t follows:
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2S.-Seere-
tary of War w. II. Taft-Dear Sir
| feel it my duty to enlighten you on
some of the facts that deeply concern
you. Four or five suspicious looking
men were seen in close conversation

the Rock Island railroad yards. l
was very close to the car, and, hav~
ing rubber heels, they did not hear
my approach. They were busy for
mulating plans to assassinate the next
president, who they said would be
you, and, moreover, they were going
to do their best to implicate some
negro men. One of the men was
very desperate, and swore he would
do it in Chicago the next time you
came: but that he would do so with
a rifle from the top of some sky
scraper. Yours respectfully,
YOUR UNKNOWN FRIEND. :"

about. These were absolutely denied
by Manager Bennett last evening.
There is no truth In the statement
that the Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone Co. will take over our con-
Germ. We will amalgamate so far as
1t conserves the best interests OF both.
but locally We shall retain our en-
tire independence. Our company
with the backing that It has among
a strong directorate. would never
consent to any merger of interests.
We believe that the future holds too
much for us in this district TO do
anything like that. As far as | have
gone with Mr.. Thomas, or. so far as
| know that any member of our COM
pany has gone, was TO make agree
ment that we would handle their
long distance business at a fixed
rate. Except for long distance SER
vice which will be given through our
office. the company will remain alb
solutely the same and | wish that You
would deny all rumors TO the con-
trary."

sages which will come through will

RAWHlDE, Sept. S.-The fire line
is down and the rebuilding of the
new Rawhide is on in earnest. An
army of men are at work.
The fire has made two divisions OF
the town for the present, with the
Nevada hotel the center of the upper
end and the Rustler Office the begin
ming of the lower end, with Squatter
town trailing along to the south. The
Nevada hotel end will be the busi-
ness center. 1t is there that the au-
tomobiles arrive and depart from and
to Fallon and Schurz. There is a
branch postoffice there and several
brokers have established themselves.
Adjoining is the building of the FL

The fight was practically over a
minute and 20 seconds after the gong
sounded. From that time on it was
merely a question as to how long
Ketchel would last. Papke tore into
Ketchel with such fury that the un-

Numerous kilograms have come in

but as yet nobody has availed him

Eugene Grutt this evening, there is
no doubt that the fire will have the
effect of stimulating the people to
greater eXertions than ever. The fire
has put more ginger into the people
and you can see how busy they have
become. The new Rawhide will be
a modern city. Electric wires will be
stretched and water mains laid all
through the town. We have won the
sympathy of the world by the way in
which we have borne our losses.

ELY SCHOOL OPENS
WITH MORE PUPILS
FURTHER INCREASE EXPECTED
ELY CITY SCHOOL TO OPEN
NEXT MONDAYS PER. CENT
INCREASE Is EXPECTED.

With enrolment of 135 pupils the
Ely public school yesterday COM
menced its official life for the fiscal
year 190S-09. Every grade shows
gain in attendance over last year.
The primary enrolment for the
day was 10 pupils. In the interme-
diate grades As pupils were placed.
In the grammar grades 81 In the
high school department Is pupils
were enrolled. The last number on
the list stands as against high
school pupils last year.
The total enrolment as compared
with that of the first day of school
last year shows a gain of is.
The entire day yesterday was oc-
cupied in enrolling pupils assigning
lessons in the various studies and in
preparation for the assumption of
work of the term. For the first time
since vacation Began the young stu
dents were hard at it learning the
lessons they are to recite today. It
will of course take several days to
get things running in full swing.
Opening of Ely City school will oc-
cur on next Monday, when there is
expected to be enrolment of about
rs per cent more children than were
in attendance at the school during
the last school year. The school will
be conducted in a residence selected
for the purpose until the fine new
school building on 18th street is fin
ished, which will probably be some
time in December. The stone foun-
dations are now nearing completion
and work can shortly be commenced
on the walls. Other schools in the
county will open between now and
the goth of the month, by which time
they will all be in operation.
