THIRD PARTY IN ILLINOIS.
Strong Fight Expected to Prevent Its
Organization.

Chicago Without the needed
word from Governor Deneen, Colonel
Roosevelt would not have had the
Illinois delegation to the republican
national convention and he would
have been robbed of the benefit
which his Illinois victory gave him
in other states"
That is the answer which many re-
publicans are making to the decision
by some of the Roosevelt admirers
to have third state ticket in Illi-
nois, because the governor and his
associate republican nominees have
refused to abandon their party and
go over to the new organization
which is being formed by Colonel
Roosevelt.
Should the convention obey the
dictates of those leaders who are de-
manding a third ticket, many repub-
licans who supported Roosevelt, but
who refused to- desert the republican
party, say they will join in the fight
against the progressives on the
ground of ingratitude and failure to
live up to the principle of square
deal for all.

SPINSTERS CENSURED.
Colorado Preacher DenOunces Old
Maids as Detriment.

Grand Junction, Colo.-Undaunt-
ed by the comment by Miss Helen
Gould upon his sermon, in which he
asserted old maids should be iso-
lated on barren island as waste
product, Rev. Elmer V. Hunter, of
the First Christian church, again in
sisted that old maids were a detri-
ment and menace to society, and
advised Miss Gould to seek a mate
incognito in the backwoods.
Miss Gould is a noble woman, 4"
he said, but her nobleness would
be greatly enhanced were she mar
ried. | don't attempt to dictate to
Miss Gould what she should or
should not do. Miss Gould has done
more good for humanity than any
other bachelor girl in this age and
she can still do unlimited good
No woman has done her duty to
the world until she has borne chill
dren. Miss Gould is in a peculiar
position because of her riches. She
cannot be sure she is being wooed
for love alone. The only way to
solve this problem is for Miss Gould
to accept position in the backwoods
incognito. Here she might find the
right one, a righteous, industrious
man, who would love her for her
true SELF and not for wealth. Her
riches have handicapped her in the
real enjoyment of life, and | dare
say she is not as happy in her pri-
vate car with her maids as is my
servant girl.
''If Miss Gould wants two weeks
of real enjoyment, two weeks of real
happiness, let her disguise herself
as waitress in cheap restaurant;
let her clerk in store or work as
a chambermaid-anything so long as
she earns her own living and lives
on less than $40 week"

BUGS BOTHER LIGHT.
Puget Sound Beacon Obscured BY
Flying Insects.

Monster bugs and myriads of fly
ing insects swarmed out over Puget
Sound the night of July II. buzzed
around the incandescent oil vapor
llght at the New Dungeness light sta
tion, one of the most important aids
to mariners in the north Pacific, and
made life miserable for Keeper Ed
ward A. Brooks. The incident was
so unusual that Brooks sat down to
his typewriter as soon as the pests
had taken their departure and wrote
a letter about the strange visitation
to Lighthouse Inspector Beck.
Moreover. the keeper filled a
matchbox with a few of the mid
night maurauders he managed to
capture and sent them to the inspect
or FOR inspection and classification.
Each of the bugs is about an inch
long, has beam of IS of an inch and
depth of the same dimension.
Great wings built like those of an
aeroplane fold >close to the sides
Although somewhat larger, Mr.. Beck
says they bear some resemblance to
the Spanish fly, which infests some
sections of the southern part of the
united states. Stripes similar to
those on lightning bug run longi-
tudinally along their backs. In gen
eral construction they are little diff
ferent from the June bug.
So far as has yet ben determined
they are new species. This is what
Keeper Brooks has to say about them
in his official report:
During the night of July II the
insects and bugs gathered around the
light in such quantities it was diff
cult at times to keep the light burn
ing.
The night was calm and warm,
which necessitated having as much
ventilation as possible, which gave
access to the bugs; also the night
was very dark, making the light to
shine brightly.
One mantle was broken and it
seemed at times the old lamp would
have to be substituted to keep the
insects from the light.
This is the first time a phenome-
non of this kind has ever bothered
the light. | am sending you a sam
pie of some of the bugs or beetles
under separate cover"

WOULD REPEAL RECIPROCITY
President May Advise Congress to
That Effect.

Washington.-Pre Taft indi-
Gated to several western senators
who were active opponents of Can
adian reciprocity that he would ia
for the repeal of the act. Some of
those with whom the president
talked think he may send a message
to congress on the subject, or will
state his position in his speech of &C
ceptance when the committee of the
Chicago convention notifies him on
August l of his nomination.
Senate leaders say that so far the
president has had no direct commun-
ication with the finance committee
on the subject nor sent any commun-
ication to the senate saying he favors
the repeal. Taft will not withdraw
his own support of Canadian reci-
procity as principle, it is under
stood, but will take the position that
the United States should not con-
tinue an offer that Canada refuses to
accept. The reciprocity law con-
tinues in effect in the United States,
Notwithstanding Canada's refusal to
endorse it.
, Senators McCumber, Hepburn, Cor
man and others have urged it's re-
peal and an amendment was put on
the steel tariff bill, recently passed
by congress and now in conference,
providing for such action.

HOTEL WAS SACKED.
HOstelry at Crater Lake Looted Dur
ing Past Winter.

Word of an act of vandalism, the
equal of which has never been heard
OF in this section, was received in
( this city when F. r. Haywood of the
Crater Lake Hotel Company arrived
in the city on a trip in the interest
OF the transportation problem to the
lake.
Some person had lived at the
camps of the hotel company during
the past winter and had wrecked
everything he could lay his hands on.
1t was terrible condition that was
presented to the vision of Mr.. Hay
wood and A. l.. Parkhurst, general
manager of the hotel company, when
they arrived at the Arant camp June
29, after hard trip in a snowstorm.
The store rooms had been broken
open and the supplies that were not
eaten were scattered around the
camp. Wood was thrown on the car
pets; asphaltum was boiled in en-
amel lined ware; dining room tables
were sawed up; holes were chopped
in the foors; the entire supply of fire
wood was burned; lead pencils were
thrown over the place, and general
ruin was discernable everywhere.
The work of repairing the damage
has occupied considerable time, and
the cost has been considerable.
No evidence was found to indicate
that the vandal was a trapper. A
man was seen coming from the vicin-
ity of the camp last March He was
described by those who saw. him pass
ing through Fort klamath as the
hardest looking specimen seen in
that section in ages. This is be-
lieved to have been the man who
committed the depredations.
How he was able to get to the
camp in the winter time is a mys-
terry. And how he was able to travel
from Arant camp to the rim, loaded
down with provisions, is another
problem hard to Klamath
Herald.

Justice Wright offered to suspend

alleged contempt of Justice Wright s
court through a convict proceeding
out of the boycott of the American
Federation of Labor on the Bucks
Stove and Range Company of st.
Louis.
