LAND DRAWINGS
 BEGIN TUESDAY
Forty Thousand Persons Have Registered Hoping to Draw
 Home in Montana.

Glasgow, Mont, Sept. 22.--The drawings for the Fort Peck lands will take place here next Tuesday. The city of tents has outgrown all expectations and provisions of the government to care for the land-seekers have proved inadequate. Forty thous- and have registered and as each person must be present to answer to their name when called the colony is being increased with the arrival of every train.
 People from every state in the union are among the number who hope to draw one of the home steads. It is estimated that the owner of the first name to be drawn will have an opportunity to sell his rights for al5,0O0. The Fort Peck is the last great preservation to be- thrown open by the government. There are others which may be allotted at some time in the future but they will be much smaller. Each person who registered has been given a ticket and will have tu
 present it in person to qualify, but in case the owner does not appear he will not be barred from receiving Onn of the allOtmentS, he simply falls to the bottom of !Ir list.

 garded With Suspicion.

Copenhagen, Sept. 22.--The police are shadowing Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of the En- glish militant suffragette, as they fear she has designs against the life of the Dowager Queen Alexandra.
 The police profess to have re- ceived information that the mili- 'tants are preparing to startle the world and have taken every precaution to guard the life of the queen mother while she is in this country. The appearance of the English suffragette here, where the Dowager Alexandra is paying a visit, is believed to be part of a scheme to make her a sacrifice to convince the British cabinet that they will stop at mo- thing to gain their ends. Miss Pankhurst has often been quot cd as saying that the women of England would have to resort to the taking of life as well as the destruction of property before the British government could be for ced to recognize their rights.

Philadelphia, Sept. 22.--Sena- tor Penrose, former Senator Crane, William Barnes, Jr., and other Republican leaders favor Roosevelt for the Republican nomination in 1916. The lead CTS of the olG Republican ma chine have been won over by the article which appears in the Gen. tury Magazine denouncing Taft, the democratic administration, President Wilson and Senator La Toilette. The announcement of Barnes, who defeated Roosevelt in the state of New York, that the colonel was the logical candidate of the party is taken to indicate that the leaders of the republican machine realize that there is no hope of perpetuating itself, and are prepared to make peace with the progressives. The announce ment that the Century contained the article has caused increased orders from newsdealers in every state and has been the subject or editorials in all the city dailics.

NEW
TUNGSTEN LIGHTS
City Commission Makes Trip to
Moline-Pleased With the
Results Obtained.

Members of the city commission
made a trip to Moline last evening
with a representative of the Peoples
Power company for the purpose of in
specting the Tungsten street lights
used in that city. The commissioners
were pleased with the results.
For some time Mayor Schriver has
been anxious to install Tungsten lights
in this city. II would be a matter of
economy to do so, since three lungs
ten lights can be used for the same
price of one arc. The city lighting
contract will soon expire and the COM
missioners expect to take up the mat
ter of installing Tungsten's, believing
that it would be possible to place one
at every corner, for the amount now
being paid for arc lights.
