KAISER WILL START A

Berlin.-The kaiser is considering
a plan to start a new daily newspaper
in Berlin. According to a well au-

a dash of American methods to make

II is said the scheme originated
with him after the recent elections
when the socialist party had such a
victory. and to counteract this social
ist influence the new paper Will
preach the doctrine of imperialism
The kaiser woud act as editor-in'
chief. exercising in this capacity a
general supervision and inspiring lt'
policy. The emperor would also die

Yelling like a Piute Indian on the
war trail. "Lige' Spencer of Ozark
county, Missouri, swung his team of
mules off the Santa Fe trail into the
the main street of Walsenburg and
pulled up before the Greenlight sa-
LOOM with the announcement that he
was the poet of the OZarks' and the
man who wrote the famous "dawg
song"
A pieba.d coon dog had ambled in
to town ahead of Spencer and his team
and gone to sleep in the roadway in
front of the mules almost as soon as
the team came to a stop.
That dog" said Lige, pointing tc
the sleeping dog, as he unfolded his
six foot two of body to get down from
his wagon seat, "that dawg was the
inspiration of the most famous sons

and Cmmercial club quarters on the
second floor. This scheme would
have the double advantage of provid-
ing good permanent, and adequate
quarters for both the fair people and
the Commercial organization.
At an informal meeting of the fair
board directors and members of the
Commercial club managing board held
at noon today the proposition was
submitted to the club members. Many
of those present expressed general
approval of the scheme while one of
the managing board objected owing
to the cost of supplying the CONNER
cial club with new furniture.
1t is the opinion of President Hurd
of the fair board that satisfactory
/ leasing terms can be secured from the
/ railroad company and the matter will
be taken up with the company if the
| scheme is given the endorsement Of
/ the Commercial club.
In support of the joint fair-Com-
mercial club building it is argued that
the fair needs a permanent pavilion
and auditorium and that the CONNER
cial club is also greatly in need of up
to-date quarters. 1t is estimated very
desirable quarters may be had from
such a building proposed inasmuch
as there would be ample Main street
frontage and the rooms could be ar
ranged just as desired. The proxim-
/ ity of the proposed building to the
depot is also urged as a strong point
in its favor, since the club rooms
would be very easy of access by Wis
itors.

Packages Handed to Many.

A big throng Of people has been
crowding the old Eilers' Piano
House on Main street during the day
to bid on the packages being offered
at the American Express Co.'s "old
boss" sale. The bidding has been
lively and hardly a package has been
sold under two dollars while many
run over ten. Some of the purchas-
ers were fortunate enough to draw
prizes forth their money but the ma
jority were themselves sold" One
man succeeded in getting a valuable
gold nugget for two dollars and an
other a costly set of books for ter
dollars, while a jug of syrup brought
two and a half dollars and few pa
per flowers a similar amount.

Big indian Attracts Attention.

The attention of a great many peo-
pie was attracted this morning by
sight of a powerful old Indian, gaud-
lily arrayed in robes and feathers anG
with a sword hanging at his side,
standing stolidly in front Of the Nor
thern Pacific baggage office. So
picturesque was he and so long did
ne stand in one position that all be-
came curious to know his name. A
telephone message was sent to Major
Lee Moorhouse who responded IT
person to the call and found the gian
redrnan to be none other than his ole
| friend, Red Elk, who had come II
/ from his home at Nespalem this NOR
ming on a visit to his brother, Eat
| No-Meat, and who was waiting for tn
doors of the baggage office to opel
so that he could secure his blanket
roll. Red Elk is an old warrior, hav
ing taken part in the battle of Walls
Walla where he was left on the fiel'
for dead.
