It is planned to have exercises in observance of the event, but not on as large a scale as char asteriZed the 50th anniversary, or that will be arranged for the diamond jubi- lee. The !5th anniversary of the First Baptist church of Westerly will be ob- served before the end of the present year.

SENATOR D0LLiVER DEAD
While a Phys clan Is Testing Heart
With Stethoscope the States
man Collapses.

Fort Dodge.-Jonathan Prentiss
Dolliver, senior United States sena-
tor from Iowa, one of the leaders of
the insurgent wing of the republican
party, and lately a presidential can
didate possibility, died at his home
here
Senator Dolliver passed away while
one of his attending physicians, DR..
E. NJ Van Patten, was examining the
distinguished statesman's heart with
a stethoscope.
His death followed an attack of
acute stomach trouble which affected
his heart. His physicians announced
that his death was directly due to
dflation of the heart.
Senator DOlliVer had so far re-
covered his strength as to be able
to walk about his lawn. He had been
up all day, and at night entered his
sitting room for the daily cOnsulta-
ton with his physicians.
The senator informed DR.. Van Pat
ten that he was feeling much i'm
proved and that he believed he had
about recovered his normal strength.
DR.. Van Patten cautioned him about
becoming too anxious to again re-
sumo his work and then began the
examination of the heart.
The senator was sitting in large
Morris chair when the physician be-
gan the examination. While making
the examination the physician kept
up a conversation with Senator Dol
liver, and asked him how he was
feeling
81 am really feeling better than
at any time since my recent sick
ness" he said.
The physician continued the ex-
animation and suddenly noticed that
the heart beats had ceased. He shook
his stethoscope, believing that it was
defective in some way. Again apply
ing his instrument he discovered That
the heart had ceased beating entire
ly.
Upon looking into the senator's
face he found that death had over
taken him He died without strug-
gle and without pain.
No one, with the exception OF the
physician, was in the room at the
time of his death. Mrs. DoII1yer nav
ing stepped out just before the phy-
stefan began his examination.

TAFT GOES TO PANAMA.
viii Leave on Fast Cruiser Nov. II
for Isthnus.

Beverly, Mass. - Panama canal
fertilization and the question of
whether the canal zone shall be admin
istered by the civil or military arm of
the government are the two pressing
problems which decided President Taft
to pay flying visit to the isthmus i'm
mediately after the November cleo
ton.
Chief Engineer George W. Goethals
conferred with President Taft at the
summer White House, and at its con-
clusion the president announced he
would leave for Panama on November
II on the fast cruiser North Carolina,
which will be attended by the cruiser
Montana.
Although advisers have counseled
the president against leaving the
country for the eleven days required
to make the trip, he feels that the
reasons brought to his attention in
support Of the visit demand his i'm
mediate presence on the isthmus.
President Taft will make a special
study of plans for the distribution of
coal at the two terminals of the canal
in order to prevent any monopoly of
the sale of coal. He is determined
that private interests shall not seize
the monopoly and to this end, if the
forthcoming inspection warrants such
action, coaling stations will be estab-
lished by the government which will
supply not only war vessels, but ships
of commerce.
President Taft believes that the
facts obtained should be embodied in
recommendations for presentation to
congress at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Although January 1, 1915, is
given as the date for the completion
of the canal, it is expected that the
work will be finished before then and
the president insists that the details
Of administration shall be arranged in
readiness for the opening.
One of the problems to be confront
ed is the form of government for the
canal. It may be decided to govern
the zone along the lines followed by
England with her crown colonies.
The question of tolls is one which
gives the president much concern. It
is the purpose to make the canal
paying investment for the govern
ment, but rates which would return
more than 21a per cent. on the $780,
100000, which will have been paid
out when the canal is completed, may
be considered so excessive by ship
owners that they would not patrOniZe
the canal.

INDIANA RAIL WRECK
KILLS FIVE W0RkMEN
Freight and Work Trains Collide
Near Portland. ind.-More
Than Score Injured.

Portland, Ind.-Five Iaborers were
instantly killed and more than score
were injured, several seriously, when
north-bound extra freight train on
the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad
crashed head-on into work train,
seven and half miles south of here
All were caught between fat cars
on watch they were riding and pulled
under the wreckage of the engine
where their bodies were terribly mu-
tilated. The head of Milutin Tonic
was torn completely off, while Larso
Mandie was completely disemboweled
and his right leg cut of. The dead
men all have families in the old coun-
try.
: special train run to the wreck
carried physicians, who dressed tenn
porarfly the wounds of the injured
and brought a dozen of the worst hurt
to the hospital here.
The two trains met on a stretch of
straight track in the fog, the engine
men being unable to see one another
until the trains were within fifty feet
Of each other. All jumped and es-
capped injury. The track where the
wreck occurred was being repaired by
the men killed and both trains were
running but ten miles per hour.

MAKES PLEA FOR eEVERIDGE
Roosevelt Gives High Praise to Indi-
ana Senator.

Indianapolis, Ind - Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt made a vigorous
plea at many cities and towns in Indi-
ana on his trip across the state for the
return to the United States senate of
Albert J. BeVeridge as senator from
this commonwealth.
The last speech of the day from the
balcony of the Hotel English here was
delivered before a crowd of $4,000 peo-
pie. Col. Roosevelt called it "a meet
ing the like of which in 80 years ex-
perience in politics l have never be
fore seen"
From the time the colonel got on the
back platform of his private car at
CoY1ngton, just across the border line
from Illinois, until he left Indianapolis
be urged the throngs to elect the
whole Republican state ticket so that
a legislature would be put in that
would support Beveridge.
The ex-president went to the utmost
limit in indorsing Beveridge. He gave
him credit for having initiated the
light against the beef trust that re-
suited in the passage of the pure food
Jaw. Without the amendments put in
that bill by Senator Beverage, the col
onel insisted, there never would have
been any pure food legislation passed
that was worth anything.

LOSS OF LIFE I'M FOREST
FIRES Is EXAGGERATED
Gov. Eberhart Says Dead Number
81 and Property Damage
About 100000.

St. Paul, Minn.-Governor Eberhart,
just back from the scene Of the
devastating forest fires in north
ern Minnesota, declares that the loss
of life has been greatly exaggerated
and places the number of dead at 81.
He says the property loss will prob
ably reach $4,000 oO0
THE fire situation is now well in
hand" said the governor And al
ready the work of rebuilding homes
has started. The numbe-. of dead has
been greatly exaggerated in the re-
ports. There are now 90 dead and
do not believe more than a half dozen
more bodies will be found.
"a check has been kept on all re-
lief work done, so it is known just
how much clothing and supplies have
been distributed
There are now 16 cases of typhoid
in the district, but the medical work
is well organized under Doctor Clarke
OF saltwater and two nurses, so all
the sick are being cared for and
there is no danger of any outbreak
THE work of cleaning up and
building has already started The
plan now is to start the refugees back
to their farms and help them begin
life anew. Most of them had insur-
ance on their property, so they will
be able to take care of themselves
after receiving temporary relief"

OLD VILLAGE TO DISAPPEAR
Big Reservoir Now Being Constructed
VIII Wipe Out Historic Town
of Delta, NJ. Y.

The Delta reservoir, which is being
constructed about the village OF Delta,
Oneida county, and which will wipe
out the village, will, when flooded, fur
nish much of the water which the
barge canal in central New York will
need in its operation, says the Albany
Journal. The hills surrounding the
basis are arranged on the general
scheme of a triangle with one vortex
pointing ZIP stream and north. The
area Of this triangle is about 1000
acres, and its altitude four miles and
its base two miles.
The upper sides Of the triangle rep
resent high hills rising from 600 to
500 feet above the valley This valley
was settled about 1889. The Floyd and
SicaTd mansions just above the flow
line In Westernville and the Henry
Wagner homestead, the most beautiful
in the valley soon to pass into oblivion
by the building Of the reservoir, pre-
serve the memory of old General
Floyd, a signer Of the immortal Dec
laration, Admiral Sicard Of Fort Fisher
and Wcksburg fame, and Mai. Gen.
Henry Wagner Halleck, who ran
away from Westernville, his birth
place, because of his aversion to the
farm and the pillow.
AS Is generally the case in such
large undertakings, there have been
some questionings as to which geo
graphical name should attach itself to
this new lake which will be added to
those Of New York.
It seems likely that the word Delta
has become inseparably associated
with the new lake and as its waters
bring out even more distinctly the tri.
angular arrangement of the hills sur
rounding it, the term with it's individu-
aiity seems not inappropriate. It has
the further advantage of commemora-
ting the village it displaces, and per-
haps in a slightly more happy manner
than the word Mohawk, which means
Eater of live flesh" the term Lake
Delta brings to mind the famous Keats
epitaph, Here lies one whose name
was writ in water"

FAMINE THREATENS FRANCE.
Railroad Strike Is ParaIyzing Business
Everywhere.

Paris.-The strike of the railroad
men, which threatens to spread
throughout the length and breadth of
France, was denounced by Premier
BRAND as "an instruction purely,
built upon criminal foundations" The
premier declared the strike was called
while negotiations were going on
through himself and the minister of
public works for an adjustment of
grievances, and he promised that the
instigators would be criminally prose
cuted. Warrants were issued.
Rumors are af1oat of a general in
dustrial strike to paralyze business in
every section of the country. The first
move in this direction was made by
tho electricians and employees of the
metropolitan railways, subway and
omnibus lines, who met to consider
the advisability Of Selling this oppor-
tunity to secure redress for old griev-
ances against the employers.
The National Railroad union com
prises only 100000 of the total of 300,-
900 men employed in the railway serv-
ice, but a large majority of the non
union men are participating in the
strike
The calling of 10000 of the strikers
for army reserve duty is not likely to
have any immediate effect on the
situation, as the military code allows
a man a delay of 15 days before 1e-
spending to the call.
Heavy consignments of fruits and
vegetables destined for Belgium and
northern France are stalled. Prices
of fish. eggs, butter and milk have
jumped 25 per cent. The merchants
are arranging for the transportation
of vegetables from the suburbs by
automobiles.
The garrison of Paris has been rein
forced by troops from the provinces
and all the principal points along the
railroads effected by the strike are
guarded.
The blocked Northern line is the
great artery for agricultural products
and insured Paris of the necessities
during the flood of the Seine. The
president of the grain syndicate said
that the stock of -four on the Paris
market did not exceed $4,000 quintaIs.
Paris consumes 10000 quintals daily.
President Fallieres hurriedly re-
turned from his estate in the south
and conferred with the ministers.
The problem of food looms ominously.
Already the market is pinched Enor-
nous quantities of milk and fish en-
route from Normandy and Belgium
are stalled at points along the North
ern road.

STRANGE Offerings on Graves.

Striking grave-diggers in the GENE
terry of Pere la Chaise recently called
attention to the largest of Paris burial
grounds and one that is said to harbor
more celebrities than any other ceme-
terry in the world, Few of the tombs,
however, possess much artistic merit.
Weight is their chief popularity, -
writes Augustus Hare, "and all the
monuments look as if each family had
tried to pile up as much marble as
possible upon their deceased rela-
tives" To foreign visitors the offer
Iings on some OF the graves constitute
the most interesting feature. Chill
dren's graves are often strewn with
fruit and sweets. and those of adults
with more substantial food. Bottles
nf wine are also seen, and one be-
reaved parent leaves a potato salad
on his sons tomb every Sunday.

History of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used in
Boston in 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war, were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal, which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use of q stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign Of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year,
1908, the American Red Cross CON
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale s135,-
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions, $250,000 was rea-
LIED from these stamps. This year
the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters
and the Red Cross is "A Million for
Tuberculosis From Red Cross SeZ&s
in 1910"

10 PER CENT
LAW SUSTAINED
FAIR TEST FOR PARTY NOMlNA,
TON, RULES THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
TWO JUSTICES DISSENTING
Democrats in Many Counties Having
Failed of the Required Vote
Must Now Run as indie

Madlson.-The supreme court in a
decision upheld the 20 per cent re-
quirement of the primary election
law The decision was rendered in
the cast of the State ex rel. L. c.
McGreal, ct al. vs.. Frank Philips ct

dissented.
In this case it was sought to COM

Waukee county to certify t. names
| OF the petitioners as thos~ of the
regular nominees of the Democratic
party IN that county, entitled to have
thelr names placed on the official
ballot as such for the general cleo
ton of 1910.
The petition, by appropriate allie
| cations, showed that at the last pri-
mary election each petitioner re-
eelved the greatest number of votes
cast thereat for any one to be the
Democratic party candidate for the
particular county Office for which
he was a candidate at such primary.
but that the aggregate vote of all
candidates for such Office was not 20
per cent of the vote of such county
for the Democratic candidate for
governor at the general election in
1908, and by reason thereof the
board of canvassers will not, unless
judicially cOerced thereto, certify his
name for place on the official bal
lot as the candidate of his party for
such office at the next general cleo
ton. The petition further showed
that the Democratic party is a poltt-
ical organization which has existed
for many years and without eXcep-
ton, on all occasions therefor pre-
scented candidates for public offices
and proclaimed party principles to
be represented by such candidate.
The defendants, as members of the
board Of county canVasSers of Mil

plant for insufficiency and further
for want of Jurisdiction of the court

secretary of state to certify to the

A Terrible Creature.

When Albert Henry Savage Lander
reached St Petersburg on his way
from the forbidden land, the fact was
duly chronicled, and the London Press
associations sent cable messages to
Australia telling Of the hairbreadth
escapes and manifold sufferings. The
Melbourne Times received but a short
note, which was this:
"A Savage Lander arrived in ST. Pc
tersburg today from Tibet after suf-
fering greatly at the hands of the ma
tfves."
This was meager enough, but the
news editor was equal to the occasion.
The following morning, among the
other matters of news, the readers
of the Times found this startling in
formation:
"A savage landor got into St. Pc
tersburg yesterday, and the people Of
the city were terrified After consid-
cradle difficulty. the beast, which came
from Tibet, was captured, taken to a
