upon which Mr.. Stone had been work

the board had been removed in the least
from its moorings, he stepped upon it,
the board was tilted, Mr.. Stone was
Tilted, and as result he was thrown
violently across the joist, breaking two
of his ribs on the right side. The
wounds were dressed and Mr.. Stone, al
though suffering intense pain, went back
on the job and continued to superintend
the work, which conclusively proves he

HIGHLY Complimentary.

We clip the following from The Boot
and Shoe Recorder, published at Boston,
Mass, which is highly com plimentary

The WooIworth Opening

The Woolworth Five and Ten Cent
Store had their formal opening in this
city on Friday afternoon and evening
From 2 o'clock in the afternoon until
8 at night the spacious storeroom in the
Masonic Temple on West Main was
thronged with sightseers. 1t was rev.
elation TO our people. Every depart
ment is complete within itself. Hand-
some, new and modern fixtures are
Systematically arranged, and each de-
partme.t artisiically arranged with new
goods. On entering the store one could
scarcely realize that it was not the
emporium of large department store
in a great and thriving city. Dozens
of beautiful young sales ladies stood be-
hind the counters, and an air and de
gree of unusual courtesy pervaded the
entire store. There was much to dazzle
the eye and gladden. the heart. If every
body felt like we did-and we feel sure
they did-they could consistently say, ''it
is good to be here" In addition to the
natural beauty of the store, it was
charmingly decorated with ferns. plants
and evergreens. In the afternoon, Profs.
A. G. Marshall, Sidney Griffith, Alex
Bowles and Prof. CALI, members of the
Grand Opera House Orchestra dispensed
some charming music. AT night Miss
Colt presided at the piano 1t was a
grand opening-ip fact, swell, and Rich
mond is fortunate in having such mag
niflcent store. Not one dollars worth
of goods WAS sold on Friday. The store
formally opened for business Saturday
morning at o'clock, and long before
the doors were thrown open a large
crowd stood on the sidewalk impatiently
awaiting the appointed time. The store
did immense business, and the manage
ment is highly pleased with their re-
ception.

without dissenting voice, a platform
specifically pledging its nominees to
the highest service of the common

covenants was an unequivocal pledge
to stubbornly oppose that most insidi
GUS foe to every righteous reform
'invisible government" On the same
day, the Constitutional Convention OF
the State of New York heard from
the lips of it's President, Elihu Root,
q most startling declaration, the more
surprising when you consider the pre-
vious political alignments of the speak
er and the character of his auditors.
What is" said Mr.. Root, "the
Government of this State, the Gov.
ernment of the Constitution? Oh,
no; not half of the time or hall
way. the Government of the
State has presented two different
lines of activity, one of the consti
tutional and statutory officers OF
the State, and the other-they call
them party bosses-the system they
call invisible government" .
"* . . 1t is all wrong. 1t is all
wrong that the Government not au
thorized by the people should be
continued superior to the Govern.
ment that is authorized by the peo
ple."
Says Mr.. Root, the fake government
even in the imperial State of New
York for years has been stronger than
the true government The inordinate
power of such a government is not
realized because it is not seen. Were
all its selfish, and sinister purposes
all it's secret operations, all its null
titudinous misdeeds exposed in their
naked hideousness to the view of hon
est men, they would recoil in disgust
and horror from this modern and
monstrous perversion of popular gov
ernment.
Every public servant, every politi
cal organization seeks preferment OF
power, either through public approval
or the secret favor of this all-per
vading and unseen influence known
as invisible government" Public
men and political organizations have
displayed a morbid ingenuity in their
efforts to secure the approval of an
unsuspecting public by glittering gen
eralities and meaningless platitudes
while filling their slush funds from its
1nexhaustible Golfers An alert and
discerning public demands not high
sounding professions of party loyalty
but it demands explicit promises, the
adoption of concrete reforms and the
remedy of known abuses-the re.
straint of the activities of the lobby.
ist and the lawlessness of the trust.
] Such legislation while demanded
by the people is peculiarly obnoxious
to those who are to be affected by it,
and too often incur the implacable
and noiseless hostility of invisible
government The makers of party
| platforms, and the candidates upon
them, often find themselves between
the conflicting forces which Root sc
graphically described. the people de
manding a pledge of faithful service
and the interests the omission of such
pledges. For that reason, more sig
niicance should attach to the omis
eions in political platform than in
the things which are actually said

nelles.
London, Sept. 2O.-Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's army has occupied
Wilma, an important railroad center,
and by wide sweeping movement to
the north of that city has succeeded
in almost if not entirely surrounding
a portion of the Russian army which
is fighting in the railway triangle be-
tween Wilma, Ida and Vileika
At any rate the Russian forces in
this district either must fight their
way out eastward or retire in a south.
easterly direction, for the only rail-
way left entirely in their hands is
that which runs from Wilma to Lido
and thence to Baranovitcni.
The army of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, which took Wilma and
has reached Vileika to the east Of
Wilma, is working in close co-opera-
ton with forces of Arch Duke Leo
pold of Bavaria in an effort to catch
part of the Russian army, an opera
ton which has been so often tried
without success since the Austro-
Germans commenced their drive in
western Galicia in early May.
At the southern end of the line
l. T-N.-I =
Marshal Won Mackensen at arms
length from the fortress of Rovno,
the key to the route to Kiev, and in
counter attacks has retaken a num-
Der of villages both in Volhynia and
Galicia.
1t seems apparent from the inabil-
ity of the Austro-Germans to hold
their position in the southern area
that they have sent reinforcements
from that front to Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's northern army, which,
as heretofore, is expected to score
the biggest success.
Wilma is a city of some 10000 in
habitants on the Warsaw-Petrograd
railway line and has been the object
of German offensive movement for
weeks past in the course of the wide
spread operations of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg on the northern end
of the extended battle line in the
east.
Both the Germans and the French
claim midor victories on the western
front, but neither there nor in the
Italian theater have any events OF
great moment been reported.
