MISS ELLA HAM MARRIED
Weeds Willis Adkisson. Former Mena
 Boy, in Kansas City.

Mrs. W. D. Ham received a letter Friday from her daughter, Ella, who has been visiting for several weeks in Iowa and Illinois, telling of her mar rlaee at 3 o'clock "Wednesday to Willis Adkisson, son ofB. F. Adkisson formerly proprietor of the Cash Store here, but now of Hamlin, Tex. The marriage took place in Kansas City and the couple have started for Hamlin, where they will make their home.
 While the news of the wedding will probably surprise many of the Mena friends of the young couple, it came as no surprise to Mrs. Ham, as she knew that her daughter was to be married while on the trip.

COTTON FROM BLACK SPRINGS
Tom Knight Says it Pays to Trade
 With Meua Merchants.

Tom Knight, owner of the cotton gin at Black Springs was in Mena Friday with bale of cotton. This seems strange in the face of the fact that for the past week much cotton has been going to Womble from Egger instead of coming to Mena. It has been report ed that the buyers at Womble were giving more for the cotton than those in Mena were paying.
 It is said that MT. Knight explained this Friday by stating that the Wom- ble buyers gave higher price for the cotton raised around Mena they would give for that grown closer to them. Another thing which caused Mir. Knight to come to Mena was the fact the merchants here sold their goods for less money than those in Womble.

OFFER THEIR CARDS.
Society Women Arrested for Inciting
to Riot in Chicago.

Chicago. Nov. AMOUNTED policemen
charged threatening mobs of striking
garment workers and made numerous
arrests in three sections of Chicago
during yesterdays parade, only to be
Gumbfounded when met by obdurate
groups of well known club women and
society women who produced engraved
calling cards at police stations in lieu
OF bail bonds. 1t was a new exper-
fence for the police and plainly con-
fused them.
A score of these women champions Of
the garment workers were taken into
custody. They were imm ediately re-
leased, however, when their identity
them was injured when struck by d
policeman's club, but her name did not
become known, as she was hurriedIy
placed in an automobile and taken TO
her home.
Most of the women of prominence ir-
volved were CARRIED as working girls
and for this reason the police could
not distinguish them from strikers I'M
til after arrests had been made.
Riotous and spectacular scenes devel-
oped in the down town district on the
North side and on the West side. More
than 500 men and women engaged in
the down town demonstration, which
was broken up by the police after con-
siderable trouble. AS they left their
headquarters in La Sale street, the
strikers ana Cne1r SyrnpdIn1ZefS clanSeO
bells blew whistles and footed horns.
The line of march proceeded into the
wholesale district near the river. pass
ing various large tailoring establish
ments where employees were beckoned
to Join the strikers. More than 1000
took part in one of the several demon
strations on the West side. In each
instance women headed the crowds Of
strikers and their friends.
Il would take oath that we We're do
ing absolutely nothing beyond the law .
said Miss Ellen Starr. one of the club
women, who has become a strike pick
ct. THE only persons who were vio-
lating the law were the policemen, who
treated US roughly and hurt dreadfully
with their clubs some of the poor boys
We were leading peacefully past the
shops If there had been a real riot
this morning-and it would not have
taken much to have made one-it would
have been melted altogether by the
police"

Il AM A PROGRESSIVE. "
Nick LongwOrth Becomes the Dave
Hill of the New NatiOnalism.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. al speak to
you tonight as a progressive Republic
can. 1t may be unfortunate, perhaps,
that any member of my party should
feel called upon to explain or quality
his Republicanism, but if it has be-
come necessary to distinguish between
progress and reaction, 1 avow myself
a progressive. If it has become neces-
sary to stand by or to repudiate the
general poIicieswhich have distinguish
ed the past and present adminlstra-
lions, 1 stand by them
These words constituted the open
ing declaration in an address by Rep
reSentatiVe Nicholas LongWorth, who
was one of the speakers at a rally in
this city at which Warren G. Harding,
Republican nominee for governor, also
spoke. @
After declaring. in his opinion, to
follow the leadership OF the socalled
reactionaries is to walk into inevitable
disaster, Mr.. Longworth continued:
We can not afford to accept the
leadership of men of either the ex-
IRENE reactionary or the extreme radi-
cal type. We make no attempt to read
these distinguished men of either type
out OF the party. We say to them
simply. we want you as comrades in
arms, but not as leaders,
There are three classes into which
the Republican party can with Justice
be Neutrality-suspicious. progressiVes
and ultra radicals. The first and the
third of these classes are insignificant
in numbers as compared with the sec
ond. They consist mainly of certain
self constituted leaders. The second
class represents the great body of Re-
publican voters, the progressive rank
and file of the Republican party.
There is no lack of leadership
among the progressives of the Re
publican party. We have already
chosen our leaders. two great men
have been selected as commander-in-
chief. We are following and will con-
tinue to follow the leadership of the
present president and the former pres
ident of the United States, William H
Taft and Theodore Roosevelt

not Topeka matter only. 1t belongs
to the whole county and the whole
county should give the bond issue its
support"
Some Other Expressions.
Il certainly believe that the state
Councilman c. E. Jordan, of North To-
peka, land am going to do my share
and little more to bring about that
end. 1t is simply a case of the tax
payers of Shawnee county spending
their money to improve their own prop
erty There is no chance for a penny
of the bond issue to get away for X
can be expended only on permanent
improvements on the fair grounds.
1.-The grounds need more permanent
buildings and other improvements
which can only be placed on them
templated. Let's carry the issue by
big majority and indicate to the fair
management that the people OF Shaw
nee county are with them in their eff
forts to build a great fair here in
Topeka 1 do not believe that there
viii be any great number of votes
against the bonds for as far as know
I cannot see where the opposition will
come from.
"a state fair" said J. W. Going,
president of the fair association, lis
a congress composed of farmers, work
braces every man and woman VINO
works or has an idea. 1t promotes the
entire state. 1t is a. parliament where
those engaged in all vocations and pro-
fessions can meet and compare the pro-
ducts of their skill and their strength. ;"
A. T. Daniels, secretary Shawnee
county alfalfa dealers association, who
has been closely identified with the
farming interests of Kansas for third
of a century, having lived in Shawnee
county for thirty-three years, is an en-
thusiastic booster for bond issue for
the purpose of aiding the fair asso
citation to build a great state fair. It
believe that a state fair at this day
and age is a necessity" said Mr. Dan
iels. land of genuine benefit alike to
the city and country resident
Topeka should take the lead in this
matter as it is the center of population
and as it surely will. The fair this
fall demonstrated what can be done
and with a little help the one next
year can be made larger and better
than ever held in this part of the coun-
try. It will bring people from every
part of the United States to Topeka
and the city and county will share the
benefits to be derived from their visit
to Kansas"

CUBANS BLEW HER UP.
Col. Brady Tells Alleged True Story
of Destruction of the Maine.

Kansas City, Nov. Did the Gu
bans blow up the Maine in order to
bring on war with Spain and the de-
liverance of Cuba? That is the conclu-
sion suggested by statements regard
ing the destruction of the Maine made
by Col. Jasper Ewing Brady, one of
the four officers sent to investigate
that disaster by the United States gov
eminent. Colonel Brady lectured at
st. Georges church. He said that six
persons knew how the Maine was de-
stroyed before the declaration of war.
and that the facts of the case never
have been published.
when went to investigate the dis
aster with three other officers" Col
onel Brady said, there were three
theories concerning the origin of the
disaster-that the explosion was caus-
ed from the inside, that it was caused
from the outside by agents of Spain,
that the Maine was anchored over a
mine prepared by the Cubans. Before
we had been there many days we were
able to inform the president and the
secretary of war that the last theory
was the most consistent with the facts.
This leads to the conclusion that the
Maine was blown up by the Cubans in
order to bring on war with Spain and
| the GeliVerance of Cuba.
THE shape of the hull of the sunk
en- ship proves that the explosion was
caused from the outside, and the force
of the explosion is evidenced by the
| fact that a shower of concrete fell on
the City of Washington, anchored
near by. The Maine had a false bot
tom of concrete"
Col. Brady resigned from the army
| in 1899. Asked why the report given
to the president and the secretary OF
war had not been made public, he
said
"Well,I' m sure I don't know

WORK FOR PEARY.
The Captain Returns to Duty After
Absence of Ten Years.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Captain Rob-
ert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer. re-
turns to active duty in the navy de-
partment on November 8, as engineer
expert for the department of justice in
cases before the court of claims, in
volving construction work for the
naval bureau of yards and docks.
The explorer has been on leave of
absence from the department for
about ten years, during which time he
has been engaged in arctic exploration.
Recently he was promoted to rank of
captain as the result of the death of a
senior officer. A bill is now pending
in congress to make Peary a rear adj
miral as a mark of recognition for his
polar exploits.
