Serpents Entertain Crowd
The parade of the serpents last
night was one of the features of
the encampment. AS the monster
snake, borne by the members of
the military organization coiled
its way through the principal
streets of the city, timid women
uttered little shrieks of dismay
and children chung close to the
protecting arms of their parents.
The parade was led by N. l..
White of Boston, who was yester-
day afternoon elected supreme gu
gu grandississmo of the Military
SiuOl VI lhC oVi pOhI. Al a luCCl-

camp. All are loud in their
praises of the hospitality of the
city, and when the men and wom-
en- from other states return to
their homes, they will each be
Tacoma boosters.
California long ago learned what
1t is to boost. The delegation
from that state is a strong one,
headed by Col. Fife, former res
ident of Tacoma. While here he
has succeeded in interesting every
person in the Sacramento valley by
liberal distribution of little
labels bearing a printed descrip-
tion of the heart of California.
Women Well Pleased

none more enthusiastic than the
members of the Ladies' AUXILIARY

the well kept streets and the pro-
fusion of flowers on every hand
appealed to them and they will
sing praises of the city for many a
/ day.
The social event of tho encamp-

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10. -
Literally hacked to pieces with a
razor alleged to have been welded
by Charles Allen, sailor, 81 years
of age. Susan Dulac, a comely
young woman, is in a critical con-
dition today at the Emergency
hospital, where more than 200
stitches have been taken in her
wounds.
Although he claims to have no
recollection of having stabbed the
girl, but admits that he may be
responsible for her condition while
suffering from lapse of memory,
Allen is being held at the police
station to await the outcome of her
injuries. He is attached to the
United States monitor Cheyenne.
According to inmates of house
on Bartlett alley, where the Da<ac
woman lived, Allen dashed into
the place this morning with IL
drawn razor. Without a word of
warning he is alleged to have
seized the girl by the throat and
commenced hacking away at her
throat and body. According to
the inmates of the house, Allen

Ten Cent Beer Causes
Town to Vote Dry

A number of interesting reasons
have been assigned which are
claimed to have contributed to the
defeat of the liquor forces. One
of the most interesting is to the
effect that the Germans declared
that they could not support the
saloonkeepers in their persistent
practice of charging 10 cents a
glass for beer.

GEO. a. MINER, treasurer of David
SON county, died on Thursday and the
delinquent tax sale by the treasurer
was advertised to take place on Mon
day. The law provides that v; cancies
may be filled by the commissioners, but
five days no.ice is required and this
would not leave time sufficient before
the advertised date. The states at
t0rney allowed the missioners to
make the appointment Saturday and
the sale to be made as advertised on
Monday. We believe the validity OF
these tax certificates could be success
fully attacked A better plan would
have been to have adjourned the sale
from day to day until the legal require
ments could be met. The law pro-
vides that the sale may be adjourned
from day to day until the legal re-
quirements could be met. The law
provides that the sale may be ad djourned
from day to day until all lands are sold.
But in this case who would have ad-
journed the sale.

Triumph Of . New Idea.

About the quantity Of reading matter
furnished in the average Sunday news
paper there is no reason to complain
unless 1t be on the score of too-nuch-
ness-but the quality often leaves much
to be desired. The only shining and
unqualified exception to this rule is
found In the unique Sunday Magazine
of The CHICAGO RECORD HERALD.
There is nothing else like it In the
whole range of American journalism.
Il 10 real magazine that Is regularly
issued as part OF the Sunday paper.
1t is filed with fret class fiction, able
articles, choice pictures and a wide
range Of good miscellany, all by popu.
lar or really famous authors and artists
When writer's such as Conan Doyle,
Anthony Hope, Jack London, Sewell
Ford and Cyrus Townsend Brady are
counted among the contributors to a
Sunday paper ito triumph can no long
er be doubted.
The Sunday Magazine OF THE Rec
ORD HERALD 10 far and alway the best
literary treat offered to newspaper
readers in the United States to-day.
The largest monthlies and independ-
ent weeklies cannot surpass it In
quality or sustained interest You
will always find one Of the finest serials
OF the year In its pages, often captured
from the big m0nthlles at record

ment that 1t was the course pursued by
the Argus-Leader which defeated SEN
ator Kittredge. That progressive did
not know that Mr.. Kittredge was the
high man on the stalwart ticket, and
he also did not know that Mr.. Kit
tredge received 9l2 more votes than
did Mr.. Vessey. Every student OF the
returns knows that it was the votes of
the democrats which defeated Mr..
Kittredge and that the democrats vot-
ed against the senator because they
thought the stalwarts would bolt In
the election. They got badly fooled,
however, and one of them declared q
few days ago that the democrats here
after would stay out OF the republican

will, but 80 long as they keep taking
part In republican primaries there
will be no democratic party In the

Wisconsin, and later, In the year 1880,
they came to Elk Point, which wat

ed and comforted by her In times ol
sickness and trouble.

on Tuesday Nov. 9th, and the inter
ment was made In the beautiful LaRe

Cheerlness.

Cheeriness is thing to be more
profoundly grateful for than all that
genius ever inspired or talent ever ac-
complished. Next best to natural,
spontaneous cheeriness is deliberate,
intended and persistent cheeriness,
which we can create, can cultivate
and can SO foster and cherish that
after few years the world will never
suspect that 1t was not an hereditary
gife.--Helen Hunt Jackson.
