Attack Is Postponed.

sEMLIN, Hungary, Oct. 3o.-A mos
sage from Sofia today saying the Bul
garians have postponed their attack on
Adrianople until Servian REINFORCE
ments reach them, was looked on here
as clinching reports that Czzr Ferdin-
and has met with check, though per-
haps not with a positive reverse.
Servian troops, 1t was said, are already
on their way to join the Bulgarian
eastern army. but 1t was not easy to
understand how this can be accom-
plished without considerable difficulty
and loss Of time. So far as known there
Is no adequate Servian force nearer tc
Aarianople than the one operating IN
the vicinity Of Uskub and Istib. The
quickest way for detachment OF
these troops to reach the Bulgarian
right wing would be by rail from Us.

kostendife. to SOFIA, and. then on the
Oriental railroad to Adrianople.
This journey would involve about so
miles travel over a railroad Of SO prim
alive character that much haste 1,
impossible because Of much changinl
OF trains and complications. Besides. q
was argued here that the Turks abou

force in that vicinity and probably wiz
back all they have lost.

Estate MERIDIAN
ROAD ASSOCIATION
VIII Include Two Branches South of
Waco. One Extending to Browns
vile, Another to Galveston.

Wichita, Falls, Tex, Oct. 22.-
John c. Nicholson. secretary and
treasurer of the Meridian Road AS
ISOLATION, accompanied by a party of
Oklahomans and a party from this
city, finally perfected the organiza-
ton of a Texas State Meridian Road
Association, which will cooperate
with those of other states through
which the road passes. Wichita
Falls was definitely placed on the
route, at least for the first year. The
party was well pleased with the road
from Newton, Kansas; south, save
for a stretch south of Anadarko and
north of Grandfield. However, it is
believed, from assurances received.
that the roads through Oklahoma
will be put in excellent condition
and that a live association will be
organized in that state.
The Texas portion of the road may
include two branches south of Waco,
one of them extending to Galveston
and the other We to Brownsville.
This will strengthen the state
association, insuring an interest in
counties, among more people
and especially among more legisla-
tors, it being the intention to call
upon the legislature for concession,
in improving the road.

London, Eng, Oct. 22.-Fighting
of the most serious character con-
tinues along the extensive frontiers
of the Balkan states.
The most important is an engage
ment between the Turks and Bull
garains in the vicinity Of Adrianople
but direct news of the progress of
the battle is lacking. One rumor
has it that two thousand Bulgarians
were killed and four thousand
wounded at Kirk-Kilisseh, TO the
east of Adrianople, while Sofia news
papers say three forts in the vicinity
of Adrianople were captured by the
Bulgarians.
A Constantinople dispatch says
a battle is on all along the line from
Kirk-Kilisseh to Adrianople, the
Turkish troops advancing and the
Bulgarians falling back with heavy
loss.
The Montenegrins are apparently
making slow progress in the direc-
ton Of Scutari.
In naval matters the honors so
far are with the Greeks, who have
captured Lemnos island, thus OBJ
ltaining a base from which they can
attack the Turkish squadron when
it energies from the Dardanelles.

Connecticut Elections.

The opinion has been freely adj
vanced that the large Roosevelt
sentiment shown in straw ballots
came of the readiness of the Roose-
welt followers to make their prefer
ence known. Like their leader, they
are mostly of the oumptious kind
and their action is heard when 9TH
ers are silent.
The New York Herald's estimate
gave Roosevelt a great lead in Con-
necticut and there were other indi-
cations of the same tenor, but sub
sequent events have served to show
that the estimates were unreliable.
Town elections were held during
the past week in all parts of Connec-
ticut, and in nearly every instance
a bull moose ticket was put in the
field. In not one instance, not even
in the progressive strongholds, did
the candidates receive more than 10
per cen of the total vote, and gem
it was a negligible factor. In
case even did a coalition with
one party or the other affect result.

That question has puzzled poultry

bands, trap nests and alarm clocks
attached to the nests | have deter
mined that a hen lays an egg at the
same hour, minute and second that
she was born, or, rather, Matched.
For instance, if the hen happened to
be able to peck its way through its
sheet at 7:43 a. M, she will lay an
egg precisely at TAB a. m. And she

PLUMBERS ARE ON A STRIKE

Those having work for the plumb
ers in Mankato, must needs wait a
while and be patient, for the plumb
ers have gone on strike. After
having granted the demands of the
local union, the master plumbers al
SO made certain demands, which tho
union refused to concede and a
strike was the result.
1t seems that about a month ago
the plumbers organized union.
After the organization was perfected
the union men demanded that the
time schedule be cut down from ten
to nine hours a day. This the mas
ter plumbers granted, but in turn
came back and stated that the union
had no jurisdiction over boys, un-
less the boys had been in service
three years. In other words they
did not feel that boys who were
not juniors or had the necessary eX-
perience, should be paid the same
wages and given the same rights as
experienced men. 1t was found that
IHc10 WSIS IOuI vi i've DOyo VIM
had served from nine months to two
and one-half years, and therefore
could not be classified as Juniors.
The master plumbers also de-
manded an open shop, which the
union refused to recognize. They
also refused to recognize the master
plumbers rights to refuse to allow
boys to be members of the union,
with the final result that the plumb
ers walked out Monday night.
G.. NJ. Masters, one of the local
plumbers, stated today that if the
men make up their minds to come
back, they may be employed again,
but if they decide to keep up the
strike, labor will be imported. He
already has three men whom he
thinks he can secure to work in
Mankato.
