TWO BATTLES.
Great Show at the Lyric Market
Square Tonight.

At the Lyric tonight several pictures
of exceptional good subjects will be
shown. One, "a Convict's Graft
tude, !" shows heart touched by kind
ness makes a man prove himself a
hero. Another picture, "The Magic
Wand" is a modern fairy story,
sweetly pathetic and charming in
simple beauty.
But the picture entitled 1.-TWO Bat
tlss," featured by Lawrence Costello,
is the feature picture tonight. 1t is
scene of battles of the english
Boer War in South Africa, with
strange episodes in the past. On
the battlefield in South Africa a
young English soldier dies in an en-
counter with the Beers. He asks
his friend, young officer, to return
some letters and locket to his sister
in London.
The officer learns for the first time
that the young soldier, whom he had
looked upon as his rival is his sweet.
hearts brother. He returns the lock-
ct and letters to his sweetheart and
she tells him that she broke her en-.
gagement with him because she was
getting blind and did not want to be
a burden to him.

PLEASING SHOW.
Every Seat Taken at the Colonial
Theatre.

Two crowded houses enjoyed a very
Tleasing show at the Colonial last
night. Ii is one of the oldest bills
you ever saw.
First comes Fred Hillebrand with
songs and stories and be fairly swept
the audience off their seats. He never
waits for a laugh, but keeps right on
in one continuous strain. His move
ments are ludicrous and after the au-
dence caught on he was a big scream.
Then we have Farnum and Del
mar, who bill themselves as The
Prima Donna and the Boob, who
were big surprise and made so good
that they were forced to respond to
several curtain bows. Miss Del
mar, who was formerly featured
with the Castle Square Opera Com
pany of Boston, has a beautiful
soprano voice of great range, full
of expression.
There have been several requests
for more numbers. She certainly
scored big. Mr.. faTnum, as the boob,
is some character, and his work i:
very funny. and he kept the whole
audience in one continual uproar,
They have a clever act.
The photo plays for tonight are
Careful Nursing" Rex comedy, one
big laugh; "The Imposter, Arrow
drama. and mighty good one, too
Taking Chance, Victor comedy

WILSON'S LEAD INCREASES.
Illinois and Wyoming Swing Into Line
But Minnesota Goes to Roosevelt.

Fuller returns indicate that Wood
row Wilson carried forty States and
will have 442 electoral votes. This
leaves Roosevelt second, with five
States and az electoral votes, Will
Taft has but three States, with IL
votes to be cast for him.
The significant changes were those
of Yesterday of Illinois and Mime
sofa. More complete returns took IL
ihois from Roosevelt and added its 20
votes to the Wilson column, while
Minnesotas cornfeld voters were
found to have gone for Roosevelt,
which took the IL electoral votes out
of the Wilson column and gave them
to the Colonel
Dispatches from Cheyenne, Wyo.
declares that Wilson has carried Wyo-
ming by small plurality. He was
leading last night by 450 votes over
Taft and several Democratic pre-
cincts were to be heard from.
The Democrats appear reasonably
certain of controlling the United
States Senate, although it will be
very close, as figures stood last
night. The Republicans had a ma
jority of seven in the present ses-
sion, with three vacancies.
While the Democrats have held their
own in their states, the indications
are that they have taken two seats
away from the Republicans in Colo
RADIO, one in Delaware, one in New
Jersey. one in Kansas and one in
Montana. They may win one in Ne
vada, while Democrats believe there
are chances in Oregon, Tennessee,
Iowa and South Dakota.
In Illinois the United States Sena-
tors may have to be elected by a
coalition, as the Progressive and
three Socialist members of the lower
house will hold the balance between
the two parties.
The defeat of Nicholas Longworth,
son-in-law of Colonel Roosevelt, but
Taft supporter, is confirmed There
is no material change in the late re-
turns from New York.

Army's Plan a Dark Secret.

The coaches drove the Army men
through a sharp signal drill yesterday
and all were sent in at the wet, Slip
perry dummy. It was the 6rst rea
chance the Army has had to handle a
slippery ball, and yesterdays work
comes near to finishing the preparations
for the game with the Carlisle indians
tomorrow.
The Army is looking for a victory
over Carlisle. but Coach Graves has
kept his plans so well under cover that
even the rooters do not know what
kind of an attack to expect from the
cadets in Saturdays contest. 1t is
probable, however, that the Army will
depend more than Carlisle on straight
plays.

DRASTIC PROVISIONS
OF THE NEW GAME LAW

The new hunting law went into
effect recently, and it is now I'M
lawful to hunt without license ex-
cept on your own premises, owned
or leased. The law also applies to
SEEMING, trapping or dynamiting
fish. The penalty is a fine or i'm
prisonment, or both, and the confis-
cation of the outfits captured. Res
ident hunters that have lived in the
State twelve months preceding, may
obtain a license by paying 81. Non
residents must pay SIS. They are
issued by the county clerks, on prop
err application, who will furnish
blanks for the purpose.
All persons hunting without IL
cense in possession, ready to be eX-
hibited to anyone demanding same,
will be subject to fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $25. Lii
censes are not transferable. Any
person who shall make to an officer
authorized to issue hunting license,
false statement, or change or alter
his license in any manner. shall be
punished by a fine of not less than
$50 or rtore than $500 to which
may be added Imprisonment in the
county Jail.
He had better pay one little dol
lar and be a good, law-abiding citi-
zen, and at the same time help TO
protect the fish and birds. The law
is also very stringent in regard to
killing song birds.

cult to master than those connect
ed with any other profession, and
none demands wider range of ex-
perience.
The capacity to write. alone, does
not constitute an editor. He must
possess clear judgment of men
and affairs and the ability to rem
der a decision on the instant. He
must see that nothing is missing in
the earliest authentic presentation
of the news. People demand the
news and will not read any paper
which prints sermons and dull es-
says to the exclusion OF the things
which interest them. He must not
use his paper to exploit. a fad, to
grasp a nomination or to help a
speculation. To the man who 10
born to be journalist. and is fit for
the business, the success and good
name of his paper is higher than all
these things.
What an editor of the first class
must have is sense of proportion
in an extremely complicated BUSH
ness, though marked aptitude is
good foundation for 1t.

THE HOUN' -pAWG PLAINLY
SEEN IN A BIG Sun SPOT

Washington, June 29.-Private
views of the sun taken here today
show that the enormous cavity in
the photosphere of the sun is in the
shape of a houn' dawg, and it has
been designated Spot" by Prof.
Asaph Hall, in charge of the U. S.
Naval Observatory.
This sun-dog spot is $4,000 miles
long, including the tail, and has an
area of about 9O,OOO,OOO square
miles, this being one mile to the
good for every inhabitant of the
United States.
Prof. Hall and Peters say it is
only a small spot, but they admit
1T is about five times the width of
the United States from coast to
coast, or a triffe less than that"
The theory of all astronomers is
that sun spots influence terrestrial
affairs.

THE REQUIREMENTS OF
EDITING A NEWSPAPER

Anybody. SO tradition runs, can
be an editor. In spite of the we'll
known fact that where one newspa-
per has survived. ten or more have
persisted. thousands of men Of all
professions would rejoice in an OPP
portunity to take the editors chair
and demonstrate their ability to I'm
prove the papers interest to the
public. These same men would not
expect or ask to enter any other
profession without long prepare
ition. ,-
As a matter Of fact the duties Of
q responsible editor are, more din
