depended on this train. But it
carried no Prairie Queens,
Stephen stood as if dazed. He
watched the train pull out, and
was left alone on the platform in
despair. Sitting down on a box
of freight, he burst into tears,
for he was still little more than
a boy. His shoulders shook with
his sobs.
Steve, what is it
The words were in kindly
tone. Steve looked up, and then
started to his feet with a scowl.
Crowbeach was standing by his
side.
Nothing, only l was expecting
some freight, said Stephen,
shortly.
I can guess what freight you
expected.
How so?
Well, never mind. But you
won't have time to get them out
home and put them up tomorrow
all alone. "
No, l know that. How did you
find out Does any one else
know? Will it stop the trial if
they find out the Queen can't
compete? Stephen spoke ner-
vously.
Steve, you are like Allie. You
let things worry you too much.
The contest will come off all
right, Now
Lucky you're here, Webster.
This from the depot agent, who
came down the platform toward
them. Here's a wire for you,
and he handed Stephen an en-.
velope.

THE SULTAN FORCED TO ECONO'
MIZE.

The American Board has received
despatch from Constantinople from
one Of its experienced representa-
tives there, speaking in enthusiastic
terms of the way in which the New
Turk party is handling the situation
The correspondent says: Economy
is the watchword of the hour. It b
commonly reported that out OF $50
aides de camp who we're personal at
tendants upon the Sultan only 80
remain. Out or 500 cooks In his pal
ace all but II have been dismissed.
His stud farm has been broken UP
and the horses turned over to the
army. His private theatre, within
the precincts OF his palace, has been
closed, and three clowns, who re-
ceiyed each one hundred Turkish
pounds month, have been dismissed.
Some 20 mansions and palaces in
and about Constantinople and yari-
GUS estates throughout the provin-
ces, whose revenues went directly to
the Sultan. have been given up to
the state. The League of Union and
Progress, the most influential, unof-
| fetal body in the empire, and repre-
senting the party In power, Is sending
agents civil, military and religious
throughout the provinces to en-
tighten the public mind on the situa-
ton and to call for fullest co-opera-
ton"
The writer adds that American col
leges and schools In the empire are
filled to overlooking. He states that
the children OF all classes and ma
tionalities and religions are coming
without fear to such an extent that
the capacities of these schools are
wholly inadequate to receive all who
apply, there being neither room for
the pupils nor teachers to teach them.
The officers OF the American Board
say that the situation is wholly un-
precedented in the history OF the
mission.

FACTS ABOUT THE NEW TUNG
STEM LAMP. m

The new tungsten incandescent
electric lamp. which has lately caused
SO much attention in Illuminating
circles, is one of the greatest discov-
cries of this progressive age because
1t means a saving Of millions of dol
lars to the users of electricity for IL
Illuminating purposes. Tungsten lamps
have completely revolutionized in
candescent lighting by consuming so
little electrical current in proportion
to the candle power that the cost OF
burning the common incandescent
lamps is wicked extravaganza in
comparison.
In appearance the new tungsten
lamps differ but slightly from the or
binary incandescent lamps. The glass
bulb and base remain practically the
same. 1t is in the little "hairpin"
where the magical change takes
place. The tilament or "hairpin" In
the ordinary lamp is made of carbon
and looped but once; In the tungsten
lamp 1t is made OF the rare "tung-
stem and looped several times.
The tungsten lamp will stand
higher temperatures and Give" long
er than any other lamp.
1t will give the customer three
times as much light for the same
money as he is paying for the COM
mon electric lamps or the same light
for one-third the cost.
1t gives pure white light instead
of slightly yellow light.
Although the initial cost Of the
tungsten lamps is trifle more. be-
cause of the rarity of the metal, the
lamp will burn just as many hours as
the common incandescent lamp and
give much more light.
The tungsten lamps can be safely
made in such sizes that they can be
used in clusters" in place of the arc
lamps and large gas lamps for light
ing stores or large buildings. AL
ready they are being utilized for
street lighting in small cities and
villages, at wonderful economy over
other lamps.
The light from tungsten lamps Is
SO clear and white that colors can be
matched under it's rays. There Is as
much difference between the new
lamps and the old as between the old
open flame gas jets and the more
modern gas mantle burners.

BORAH TAKES SENATOR DOLII'
VER'S PLACE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-The
factional fight in Iowa will prove
beneficial to the Democrats. regard
less of how Iowa may 90 on election
day, for the disturbance among Re-
publicans in that state has kept Sen
ator ]. P. Dolliver pretty close to
home, and he has been unable to
take his usual prominent part in the
general campaign. There is no more
successful campaigner in the Republi-
can party than Dolliyer. He Is brilli-
ant on the stump, and he has way
of swaying his audiences which can
be said of few other men now in the
fray. Moreover, Dolliver is one of the
few Republicans capable of handling
Bryan from the political platform;
at that he is an adept. For these rea-
sons, it is very unfortunate for the
Republican managers that the Iowa
situation demands Delivers close,
personal attention. This situation Is
also regretted by Senator Dolliyer,
for he is a warm personal friend Of
the Republican nominee, and It had
been his desire to devote most OF his
time this fall to campaigning for
Taft. E@A
Delivers place. however, is being
filled by Senator Borah of Idaho, and
reports from New York headquarters
are to the effect that the young sena-
tor from the far west is doing quite
as effective work as any man who has
taken the stump for Taft Indeed,

OUR FLEET AT YOKOHAMA

YOkO1AMA, Oct. lo.--olAtecH
American battleships, constituting
the Atlantic fleet on It's peaceful
cruise around the world, are riding
at anchor today in the bay OF Toxic,
occupying a post of. honor in front
of a like number of Japanese mem
of-war, the white hulls of the Ameri-
can vessels making strong contrast
with the sombre hued ones OF the
Japanese.
In the bay, alive with bunting, gal
ly decorated tugs and steamers load
ed with sightseers are steaming to
and fro and launches from the shore
and war vessels are bearing uni
formed officers on their official visits
of welcome.
Preceded by its tender the Yank-
ton, the American feet entered the
harbor in fog that hung over the
bay and dropped anchor at $3.50
o'clock this Sunday morning, one
half hour later than the time sche-
duled. The delay was due to the
fog.
The first realization that the fleet
was as near at hand came at 9.45 a.
m. when the guns from one of the IL
Japanese battleships lying outside
the breakwaters fired a salute as the
Yankton appeared through the fog.
In few minutes the fog lifted slight
ly, enabling the watchers on bay and
shore to get view of the feet as 1t
steamed slowly In single line forma-
| ton.
The feet proceeded to its anchor
age ground taking the place of honor
in front Of the Japanese vessels and
anchored in four columns. When an
chors were cast reception commit
tee representing every department OF
the Japanese government and accom-
panied by attaches Of the various for
eign embassies and legations and the
mayor of Yokohama boarded the
flagship Connecticut and officially
welcomed Rear Admiral Sperry, bis
officers and men to Japan.

ToRCHLIGHT PROCESSION.

BOISE, Oct. 17.---The grandest
add most spectacular pageant ever
accorded candidate in this state
preceded the speech OF Governor
James H. Brady here last evening.
The streets of the entire business
district were Illuminated by fiaring
electric streamers, buildings were
decorated with flags and bunting, and
ali along the line of march red fire
and Roman candles added to the i'm
pressiveness of the occasion which
will stand out for all time in the
memory of those who witnessed It..
A torchlight procession full half a
mile long started from the Republic
can headquarters and trod up one
street and down another between
phalanxes of citizens from this and
surrounding localities who jammed
the sidewalks. Two bands joined in
the great parade. The Caldwell or
ganization led and the Boise headed
the second division.
Enthusiasm was infectious, and
while the lines were passing cheer
after cheer rang out from the great
mass of those who participated only
as spectators.
One feature which was prominent
| in the prediction celebration was
the unity of the old warehouses; and
! the younger blood of the party who
| tramped and waved their banners and
torches side by side presenting solid
front of Republicans.
One section was composed OF open
| carriages containing the gubernato-
| rial candidate, the present governor,
| the state chairman, candidates and
1 other notables. The Taft club OF
Boise, 500 strong on horseback and
on foot, formed an escort to Brady.
Behind the Taft club followed over
$500 enthusiastic Republicans from
Boise, Nampa and Caldwell. There
was a large representation from the
Soldiers home in line and the pro-
cession was led by Grand Marshall
Francis and platoon of police.
Pinney theatre was crowded to It's
fullest capacity. The rear OF the
house and balconies were packed and
hundreds were turned away because
even the improved accommodation
of the new building were unable &c
hold them.
Brady was introduced by Chair
man O'Neil who made pleasing bu'
brief talk. In speech which LASTED
over an hour and half the candidate
in simple effective language outlined
his position on matters most affecting
the state and discussed national Is
sues. He reiterated his declaration
in favor OF the direct primary.
