ming races will make up the program
for the third matinee of the Round
Up Riding and Driving club Sunday
and that competition may be made
more keen, the gate receipts for the
day will be divided up into purses for

various heats OF each, will provide

Peaches Already in Cold Storage.

Two more splendid exhibits for the
Morrow Umatilla county fair next

Secretary Fitz Gerald yesterday. Wes-
ton will send a display Of the many
products grown on the Weston noun

cial club will send down the exhibit
Of peaches which was a feature of the
annual Peach Day yesterday.
The Weston exhibit was started
early in the week following a visit of
Secretary Keefe Of the local Com
mercial association. At that time he
urged a number of influential citi-
zens TO take the lead in preparing an
exhibit and when the fair Officers
stopped at Weston Yesterday they
were given the very pleasing message
that one would be forthcoming. The
Weston mountain. more than any 9TH
e. section of the county, exemplifies
what can he done by diversified and
intensive farming and that section
produces @ greater variety of grains.

INVESTS IN GEORGIA;
STARTS FOR SOUTH AFOOT

New York.-Mr and Mrs. Ernest
Spencer, of Portchester. n. Y, passed
through New York on their way by
foot TO Waycross. Ga. They have
their children, and years old re-
spectively, with them, who ride in a
small-sized blackboard. in which are
packed all the household effects.
cooking utensils and such clothing as
the family may need on the journey
Mr.. Spencer said that he had
bought a ten-acre farm at Waycross,
being told by physicians that his wife
needed a change of climate. The doc
tors advised that they go to Georgia,
and consequently he invested all his
possessions in the small farm.
After doing this he found he did not
have sufficient money left to pay their
railroad fare and so he and his wife
decided to walk, thinking that the
long trip on foot would help to build
them up in health.
The family boarded a Staten Island
ferry this afternoon and went to
Staten Island, from which point they
will journey through New Jersey.
Pennsylvania and so on until they
reach Waycross.
Spencer said he expected the long
walk would take at least three months
TO complete, but that he hoped to be
settled on their farm by the time old
weather set in.

WHY WE HAVE FIRES.

Here are some reasons why we lose
yearly something like $1,000, 900 and
10000 lives by fire.
Carlessness in factories, which in
most cases means dirt and rubbish
and oily waste.
Carelessness in the use of matches.
Do you ever stop to watch where a
lighted match falls after you have
lighted your cigar
Bad electrical wiring.
Careless housekeeping
Dark and dirty Railways. People,
q; night. scratch matches to find
their way about, throw the match in
corner-into a pile of rubbish and
few hours later there is call for
the firemen.
Dark easements. Tenants go down
after coal or wood with a candle or
with matches. a startling number of
bad f'res occur this way.
oil stoves.
Old-fashioned lamps.
Cigar and cigarette stubs.

He was a follower of Robert G..
Ingersoll, a man of fair education
and wide reading. He kept a scrap
book filled with literature of his be-
lief The neighbors and friends told
many strange stories of this man.
Some of thom believed he had a SUI
pernatural insight into the future.
1t is related by his mother n-law that
just before his first son was born,
he was seated in a chair In a brown
study and upon being asked what he
was thinking of. he replied that he
was selecting names for the six sons
Strangely enough just six sons were
born to the couple.
Mr.. Ables had long been prepared
for death though when the final sum-
mons came 1t was n sudden stroke
that laid him low while he was plow-
ing in the fields. He had left in
structions that he should be buried at
certain spot, his body lying north
and south, and that there should be
no service at his funeral except the
song, "A Charge to Keep, I Have a
God to Glorify," and his affirmation
OF principles, These wishes were car
ried out to the letter by the family.
His declaration of principles was a
very remarkable document, and went
into a close connected argument stat
ing the reason for his lack of belief in
Christianity and the Bible

ONE DRINK PUTS A MAN
UNDER THE "INFLUENCE'
So Waycross Council Holds i'm Enact
ing New Liquor Ordinance.

Waycross, Ga.-Waycross will not
have one-drink law. The clause
which might have prevented a man
taking as much as drink and ap-
pearing at public place has been
stricken from the drink ordinance
and there is no danger of the city
placing a limit on the number of
drinks man may take before he is
subject to arrest. Alderman Calvin
w. Parker introduced the drink ordi-
nance two weeks ago to stop the
drinking in and around the Union de-
pot.
A clause read "any person under
the influence of any intoxicant is sub
ject to arrest" AS for the term "in-
fluence," aldermen held that one
drink placed a person under the in.
fluence and therefore the police fac.
ed a wholesale crusade that would
cause the arrest of majority of the
men seen about the station. The new
law has Just gone into effect and viii

Rome, Ga.-There recently died in
Floyd county one of the most inter
esting and peculiar characters in the
south, a man who was pronounced
free thinker, who was buried at his
own request without ceremony of the
church, and who had an affirmation
of infidelity read over his body which
he asked to be laid north and south.
He was Andrew j. Ables, who re-
sided on the Johnson farm at Crystal
Springs and who was born September
90, 1855, and died June 7, 1911.
He was married twice and is sur
vived by his second wife, three sons
and three daughters. Free thinking

Chicago, Nov. s.-Buying Of corn
was OF less urgent character than the
previous day and local sentiment was
more bearish, the cold and generally
fine weather over the belt unboubt-
edly cooled the enthusiasms of the
bulls materially, although several OF
the local professionals were buyers of
both December and May corn; CON
signments Of new corn are increasing
q little, but so far there has been no
pressure to sell corn to arrive. The
increase OF u cents in the at and east
of Buffalo rate Of corn to the sea-
board effective Nov. /, has made 1t
hard to work corn to that section, and
bids were reported out OF line. 1t is
expected by some shippers that most
Of the new corn will be shipped out
