TAUGHT WOMEN
IN LONDON
SYNDICATE OF AMERICANS SAID
TO HAVE STARTED PARlORS
FOR USE OF PIPE-cHARGEO
NOTHING AT FIRST.

LONDON. Jan. The pernicious
vice OF opium smoking is gradually
being taken up by West End women
principally, Il is said. through the
agency OF four Americans. VINO are
making business OF teaching people
TO smoke. and acting as retailers oil

The quartet. who compose little

the summer and they Immediately SET

fell prey To the habit"
The quartet are now making money

heart of the west end which the men
and women victims frequent 10 enjoy
the pipe"
At first the syndicate made no charge
for allowing their victims 10 taste the
delights OF opium. but as the habit
began 10 fasten on the neophytes, and
they found they could not get along
without the drug. the business acu
men OF the quartet asserted itself.
The victims found that 1t was prac
tically impossible 10 obtain opium In
the west end unless il was purchased
from the quartet. the prices charged
were exorbitant and the profits enor

There Is a place in London where
anybody who is known can Obtain

OF Radcliffe highway, by the East India
docks. In the Chinese settlements. The

MOTIVE IN TENNESSEE COAL
AND IRON DEAL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-President
Roosevelt permitted the absorption OF
the Tennessee Coal & Iron Co. to pre-
vent q financial catastrophe, says Kay
mond, in a dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune. Before entering upon the
transaction the president predicted TO
those who were concerned exactly
what has happened. Eevertheiess.
he went into the affair with his eyes
open to the fact that there would be
future criticism.
During the first week of November,
1907, the country was in the midst OF
q financial panic which threatened to
sweep everything before 1t. Strong
banks had gone 10 the wall and others
were tottering. Men who had had the
reputation OF financial wizards, like
Heinxe and Morse, dragged do" n
stronger men with them. Capital took
alarm and money could not be had at
any. price. The banks of the country
practically suspended specie pay
ments and resorted TO the use of clear
Ing house certificates and similar de-
vices to take the place Of cash. No
one knew where the thing would stop
or how many good men and banks
would be involved In the crash.
In the emergency the government
did everything IL could 10 restore con-
ndence and to increase the supply OF
money. The treasury balance was de-

INTO POLITICS
YOUNG WALDORF AND CAPTAIN
SPENDER CLAY BOTH RUN FOR
PARLIAMENT BOTH HELPED
BY THEIR WIVES.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-William Wal
dorf Aston has never ventured to en-
ter English politics himself. because
he probably is aware OF his unique
unpopularity among the voters OF the
districts where he owns mansions. but
his son. Waldorf. and his son-in-law.
Capt. Spender Clay. have agreed to
accept the Tory partys nominations
for parliament. They are now busy
handshaking among their constituents.
Capt. Clay Is candidate from Tun-
bridge, the nearest big town TO his IA
ther-in-law's feudal castle OF Hever.
The captain finds some difficulty in
making himself popular among the
voters Of Tunbridge district. because
Mr.. Astor Is no more popular in Kent
than in Berkshire, where Cliveden is
situated. The people do not enthuse
over the millionaire. despite his bene-
factions TO local charities.
Capt. Clay, a millionaire himself, Is
about as frigid and unapproachable as
his father-in-law, and If he gets
elected IL will be due TO his wife. who
is tactful and sympathetic and w.4o
has not lost her American cheeriness
despite her long residence In England
In marked contrast to the difficulty

Fergus County Democrat., 1909-08-31

Fergus county farmers in more ways
than one. The cost Of harvesting is
reduced to minimum and every
ounce of wheat is saved. The wheat
is not only harvested and threshed
but is put into the sack at cost OF
less than Is cents per acre. One OF
these machines was in operation for
two afternoons at the ranch OF S. w.
Heald, near Moore, last week and
thirty-seven and one-half acres of
wheat we're harvested and threshed
and the grain put into sacks, and the
actual cost did not reach IS cents per
acre Often Bros. will start their ma
chine today at the home ranch and
will be operating on Cottonwood
bench within couple of miles Of
Lewistown the latter part OF the
week, at which time this wonderful
machine may be seen in action. The
Judith Hardware company, county
agents for the Holt Combined Har
vester and Binder, have one machine
in reserve with which to fill an i'm
mediate order. II is we'll worth the
trim to Cottonwood bench to see this
machine in operation.

Johnson Will Scrap.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Jack John
son, heavyweight champion Of the
world, and Al Kaufman, OF San Fran
cisco were matched tonight to fight
10 rounds at Coffroth's arena in this
city on September 9. The men will
fight at catch weights and if they are
both on their feet at the end Of the
tenth round no decision will be given.
The bout will be refereed by Eddie
Smith of Oakland. Nothing was made
public about the division of the purse.
The match between the colored
champion and the Californian, made
by Charles Coffroth, was somewhat
unexpected. It followed Coffroth's S
failure to sign up Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien and Kaufman for 1O-round
bout on that date.
Coffroth hunted up Johnson. who is
in the city, and succeeded in getting
him to take O'Brien's place.
Eddie Smith, before accepting the
position of referee, said that if he be-
lieved from their actions that the men
were stalling at any time during the
10 rounds he would disquality them
and declare it no fight. 1t was with
this understanding that the articles
we're signed.
Johnson is doing a little training at
Emeryville across the bay from San
Francisco.
