Oct. Sit was Fhiladelphia's turn TO
pay tribute to King Swat today and
the feat was performed 20 q turn.
Showers were spilled from the sky
and the Weather Bureau, probably in
sympathy with Clarke Grimth and
his Senators. who finished behind the
Athletics. generally conspired 70 crab
proceedings by permitting heavy
clouds TO linger where the sun
should have shown.
Mere dampness, however. could not
stop the Athletic fans out for the
second game of the worlds series. A
cold mist descended throughout the
night on about 1000 followers Of

The line started TO form yesterday at
noon. The first watcher to appear
was John Butler sixteen. There
were no women in the line which
waited through the night and

There was little doubt that the game
would be played. providing condi-

Judge Nuessle of Bismarck, successor
to the late Judge Winchester, tried his
first case in Mandan last week when be
elected a compromise in the civil ac-
ion of c. A. Bloom VS.. P. W. Waite.
The case was one arising out of some
carpenter work done by MIR. Bloom for
the defendant several years ago. Bloom
was doing interior work on the newly
erected Waite houses just southwest of
the school and one Of the pipes of the
hot water heating plant froze and
bursted.
Mr.. Waite refused to pay for the work
done because of the damage the burst
ed pipe caused and Mr.. Bloom brought
action to foreclose his mechanics lien.
The matter involved several hundred
dollars, but the judge decided in way
that satisfied both parties quite we'll
and settlement will probably be
made. Mr.. Bloom came down from
Swift Current. Canada, where he has
made his home since leaving here over
q year ago, to attend the trial. MIR.

Business and the Tariff

Even a good many business men hav-

industries have caught the new spirit,

tition. For several years, the protected
industries have seen the handwriting

houses in order, and haye beep prepar-
Ing for what they had beer accustomed
to call ''the worst but which may
prove to be the best. That sensitive
index. the Stock Exchange, showed no
ominqus disturbance when the Under
wood bill was made public. Shares
of stock in the industries that have ens
jeyed the protection of high duties are
still worth something in the market !;
and nobody has taken seriously the
statements that the Underwood bill,
il passed as introduced, would hut up
the cotton mills of the South, the shoe
facories of New England, the carpet
mills of Philadelphia and Yonkers. and
the great establishments in which
woolen cloths are woven. In so far as
the progressive Senators are concerned.
we shall at least have some intelligent

New England is enthusiastic over
baseball and gives their team good sup

and claim Dickinson will have their
hands full.
The Dickinson boys have been work.

they are worthy of their support. The
management claim there are needed re-
