Even in the cities, the speakers are

Fargo. candidate of the progressives
for governor, spoke to a small audi.

other speakers report like conditions.
This week marked the formal open.
ing of the democratic campaign. Ma.
tional issues were discussed principal.
ly by the speakers, including Governor
Burke. F. o. Hellstrom, the guber.
material candidate, has seemingly
been left to shift for himself. The
hope of the democrats to carry North
Dakota for Wilson means that the
state ticket will not be given as much
attention as in previous years.
Mr.. Hellstrom made tour of Cava.
lier and Pembina counties and reports
indicate he was we'll received. The
tour of Cass county. set for the first
part of the week, in which Hellstrom
and Burke were to have participated.
had to be called off because of bad
weather.
Mr.. Sweet Of the progressives has
given most Of his attention to the ma.
tional situation. He has passed over
the state question with scant mention.
Mr.. Hanna has also been on the stump
this week and has had slight advan.
tage over other candidates in the fact
that his addresses have been made at
county fairs, where the crowds have
been good.
Progresslves Confident.
That the progressives have every
confidence in their ability to carry
the state for Roosevelt is indicated by
the statements of State Chairman
Dorr Carroll. He says they have re-
ceived assurances Of support from
many quarters and is particularly op.
timistic over the outlook for the ma
tional ticket. He has announced that
Hiram Johnson, the svice-presidentia
nominee. will be in the state the lat
ter part of October.
A feature Of the campaign this year
is the silence of county republican
committees on the national situation.
None of them is boosting for the ma.
tional nominees. but all are devoting
their energies to the election of
county tickets and the state canti.
dates. This situation, it has been ex.
planned by county committee officials,
was created by the state committee in
the adoption of its resolution at the
Bismarck meeting, when it was declar.
ed that allegiance to President Taft
was not necessarily a test of party
fealty.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE EMPRESS

One of the most noteworthy char acter portrayals in The Heir to the Hoorah' now being played at the Empress. is done by w C. Roberts as Gus Ferris, owner of the Dixie ranch. Whether the role suits MT. Roberts talents particularly well, or is one to which he has given more earnest study, the fact remains that he does a quality of work in this minor part which has won the praise of more than one person in the audience.
 Hush, the Japanese servant, DOT trayed by Art Phillips. another minor part, seems as natural and life-like as if he were real oriental serving man devoted to his masters interests and drawing a fat salary for his de- Votion.
 One of the most amusing scenes of the play is where one of the ranchers attending the banquet comes in in a gay neckerchief Whereupon his friends who are bound that everyone shall be conventiOnally dressed, bounce on him, throw him down and collar him much as if they were branding q steer.

THE COLISEUM

The big thing at the Coliseum this week is the Burke and Barton num- Der and it is comedy and musical potpourri such as one does not often encounter in these days when every body who can sing a song or throw an agile foot, poses as vaudeville star Burke and Barton cause scream from their entrance to their final bow and in the main it is new stuff. It is a tumble of musical dia- logue, songs that fade from sweet chords into ridiculous travesty and jokes that follow fast and furious. The Messenger Boy and the Dude is the name the lads give their number and if there were nothing else in the show it would be worth while. But there is Hazel Wilson sings catchy songs. more entertaining for the man ner of their singing than for the songs themselves and adds iterest by some clever dancing and still more clever kicking. The Victoria hangs together in three popular songs that are well sung and with pretty clothes and the changing spot light they make a fine feature

GOLD FOUND
 AT PALO VERDE
F'abulously Rick Chunks of Rhyolite Picked Up by Mexican Brought to Town and Sold: Claims Located But No More Luck

Gold has again been discovered in wonderful richness along the Palo Verde, in a similar way to the dis covery of the precious metal in that locality some years ago. Teofilo Flores is the party responsible for bringing to town a number of mug gets and rhyolite rocks which he dis posed of at much less than their true value, blowing the proceeds in, in red liquor.
 Joe Porterie. the assayer bought q chunk of the ore for $25O which as saved at s125O while others notable Dr. Burt Ogburn, Griggs Carr. l. c. Reed and Tom Monihan Monihan and Ogburn in one party and Carr and Flores in another party hurried out to the location as given by Flores, and located a number of claims, Mon than and Ogburn going out into the Cave Creek six miles west of the Palo Verde.
 Carr didn't apparently have any luck finding the place where the ore was picked up and is of the opinion. which is shared by number of others acquainted with the history of this section, that the ore is nothing but float. Old timers remember finding similar punches of rock in 1883. It created much excitement but nothing came of it.
 As near as can be gained the To- cation of the find is some twenty nine miles northwest of Phoenix Flores. the finder of the Jumps re- fuses to give the exact location but has filed on the place as a claim When he first came to town he told James Valdivia who is a collector for the Singer Sewing Machine company and P. H. Hickey, a local attorney Hickey helped Flores draw up a To- cation notice with Valdivia's name on it also, but it is alleged that Flores since took the paper and erased the names of himself and Val divia and placed thereon those of Jose Sanabre and George Fitch San abre is a friend of Flores and was with him at the time the gold was discovered, while Fitch owns a ranch in the neighborhOOd of the country club.
 Flores is accused of flimflamming Valdivia out of his interest in the valuable find.

COTTON MhFKET REPORT.
LITTLE ELSE WILL BE TALKED
OF AT PRESENT.
Chief Topic of the Week Cotton Re-
port. Will be Issued at II O'clock
Tuesday Morning September 3, Fol-
lowing Holidays.

New Orleans, Aug. 25.-Today ends
the August period in the schedule Of
reports on the condition Of the grow
ing cotton crop by the government,
and little else but this report will
be talked Of in the cotton markets
of the world this week. This report
will be issued at II O'Clock, New
Orleans time, Tuesday, September 8,
which means that it will Immediately
follow the triple labor day holidays
Both American markets will be clos
this week Saturday and the follo>
Monday. u
Those who do not care to carry
cotton over such an important event
as a bureau report, will hardly care
to carry their contracts over three
holidays. Therefore, it looks as If
the market will be we'll advanced up
when it closes Friday night.
What these evening up operations
Will do to prices depends much on
what speculative interest is the larg-
er. 1t is generally considered that a
large speculative short interest has
been built up and if this is so, the
fuying of covers for the contracts will
help prices. Bears, themselves, con
tend that the short interest has al
ready been liquidated and if this is
the case, the market will be most
decidedly inclined to dullness. Some
long cotton will be sold out but it is
not thought that the long interest to
be liquidated is large enough to af-
feet prices to any extent.
While the weather will be import
ant this week, it will probably be ig-
nored to great extent because it
will have no bearing at all on the
pending condition figures. Rains in
the Western belt, and especially in
South and Southwest Texas, will en-
courage the bear side, as will also
sunshine in the Atlantic States. Con-
tinuedN droughty conditions in Texas
will lead to talk Of deterioration there
| and will be apt to hasten the cover
| ing of short cotton.
The spot situation will be closely
watched for the adjustment in prices
between the old and the new crop is
| under way and the trade wants to
| get line on the demand for new
crop cotton, which is now being offer
| ed freely.

IllLMAN MAKES REPLY.
WAITEr FOR BLEASE TO CLEAR
- SUSPICIOUS THINGS.
Senior Senator Discusses Meetings
with Blease at Orangeburg and
Washington Referred to.

trenton, Aug. Ex-senator Till
man. after reading Gov. Blease's
statement appearing in yesterday
mornings papers. gave out the fol-
lowing statement here:
Gov. Blease would have the peo
pie OF the State believe that I have
acted unfairly and deceived him. I
want to say this: At the meeting in
Orangeburg the subject Of the gov
ernor's race was not mentioned be-
cause there was then no opposition
to him so far as any candidates name
being announced. The picnic in
Orangeburg was in July. and Judge
Jones did not announce himself until
In August. 1 did ask the governor
some questions at Orangeburg about
his pardon record, and 1 confess l
wanted to give him an opportunity to
explain things for which he was be-
ing criticized. At that time my atti-
tude was that Of friend.
When Gov. Blease came to Wash
ington I invited him to my hotel, be-
cause, as governor Of the State, l
wanted TO show him courtesy, and
having always been on friendly terms,
thought it nothing more than his
due. But If anything was said about
the governors race or about his rum
ming against or opposing me for the
senate. l do not remember it. Mrs.
Tillman, who was present all the time
during the call, has the same recol-
lection as mine as to what occurred.
Il have waited patiently while this
campaign has progressed, hoping that
the governor would clear up some
things which are very suspicious but
he has not said anything about Stot-
hart or Nichols selling pardons and
dividing with Blease. made up my
mind that I could not stand for any
man who was so careless about the
States good name and the justifiable
suspicious he had aroused.
Il have no reason to love Judge
Jones because he changed the law
by the decision for the custody of
my grandchildren, which had stood
for $50 years. My son has written me
from Oregon. hoping that he might
some time be able to tell Judge Jones
what he thought about him and his
decision. My wife, who everyone
knows has more influence over me
than anyone else in the world, has
been strong Blease sympathizer and
protested to the last against my CIV
ing out anything more
$50 the people can understand what
real foundation there is in Gov.
Blease's accusations about my hold
ing the statement back until it was
too late for him to answer. I have
never fought anybody secretly and
always have been open and above
board. never wrote to any one
until they first wrote to me and de-
manded that should say as much
for Blease as I had said for Jones.
The people can see from this state
ment how much justification there is
for Governor Blease's implied charge
that I have treated him unfairly"
