NOTED NEGRO
DIES IN SOUTH

Tuskegee, Ala, Nov. 15.-Booker r.
Washington, foremost teacher and
leader of the negro race, died early
yesterday at his home here near the
Tuskegee institute of which he was
founder and president. Hardening of
the arteries following a ervou break
down caused death four hours after
DR.. Washington arrived from New
York.
Although he had been in failing
health for several months, the negro
leaders condition became serious only
last week while he was in the east.
He then realized the end was near,
but was determined to make the last
long trip south. He had said often,
Il was born in the south, and expect
to die and be buried in the south"
Accompanied by his wife, his sec
rotary and a physician, DR.. Washing
ton left New York for Tuskegee at 4
O'Clock Friday afternoon. He reached
home Saturday midnight and died at
4:Ao o'clock Sunday morning. His
last public appearance was at the ma
tional conference Of Congregational
churches, in New York, where he de-
!ivered a lecture October 25th.
A widow, three children and four
grandchildren survive. John II. Wash
ington, a brother, is superintendent of
industries at Tuskegee institute.
The funeral was held at Tuskegee
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
Born in Slavery.
Dr.. Washington was born in slavery
near Harris Ford, Va, in 1857 or 1865,
After the emancipation of his race, he
moved with his family to West Vir-
ginia. He was an ambitious boy and
saved his money for an education.
When he was able to scrape together
sufficient money to pay his stage
coach fare to Hampton, Va, he entered
General Armstrong; school for ne
groes there and worked his way thru
an academic course, graduating in rs.
Later he became a teacher in the Ham,
pton institute, where he remained un-
til 1881, when he organized the indus
trial school for negroes at Tuskegee to
which he devoted most of his atten-
ton during the remaining years of his
life.
The Institute started in a rented
shanty church and todoy it owns $500
acres of land in Alabama and has
nearly 100 buildings, valued at half a
million dollars.
Speech Wins Support.
Washington won the sympathy and
support of leading southerners by a
speech in behalf Of his ace at the
Cotton States exposition in Atlanta in
1895. In addition to his prominence
as an educator, he gained considerable
fame as an author. An honorable de-
gree Of master of arts was conferred
upon him by Harvard university in
1896, and in 1901 he was given an
honorary degree of doctor If laws by
Dartmouth college.
An incident of Washington's career
made him the center of a nationwide
discussion during the administration
of President Roosevelt. He sat down
to lunch with the president at the
White House, either by formal or in
formal invitation. There was a storm
of protest from many quarters and
some hostility was shown toward the
negro educator afterward. His work
was not seriously affected, however,
and he continued to have the cooper
alton Of the white people in both the
north and south in striving for the
uDlift of his race

Far back in ancient times,
When smoking cornsilk cigarettes
Was not the least of crimes;
When pirates, or wild Indians,
We played upon lifefs stage,
Back on the Road to Yesterday;

Our success during one years business in Devils
Lake has far exceeded our greatest expectations
and the secret is simply CASH. We are ALWAYS
ON the job with ready money to pick up anv
stock of any size when the price is right. We
have bought twelve stocks at from 16 to so
cents on the dollar, and that is. the reason we
can undersell all competition and that crowds
OF satisfied customers fill our spacious store
room daily. We fill large orders every day that
are prepared tor the eastern catalogue houses
and the reason is simply this:
We buy Our goods for cash, taking ad-
vantage Of every discount, which enab-
les us to give better values than our
competitors.
Last week we purchased direct from the
factory all they had of a line of Ladies'
Alaskas, divided them among our three
stores and offer them here at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES u SIC

FRENCH ARTILLERY DESTRUCTIVE
But German Guns Are Replying with
Great Persistency.

Paris, Sept. 25,--The following official
statement was issued by the French war
Office last night;
sThe enemy yesterday bombarded our
trenches near the village and the castle
of Boesinghe tFlandersl.
'Tn Artois the same activity prevails
on both sides on the part of the artil-
lery. The. fire of our heavy pieces caused
the explosion of an important depot of
ammunition near Thelus north of Ar
rasl, A few shells OF large calibre have
been fired on Arras.
Between the Somme and the 0ise
toward Canny Sur Matz and Deuvraignes
we have shelled the enemy's positions
and shattered on many points the line
of the Mitraiileuse situations.
"0n the front of the Aisne and in
Champagne a very violent and reciprocal
bombardment is reported.
Between the Meuse and the Moselle
at Nonsard, in the Panne, some German
groups were hit by our fire. We also
destroyed a blockhouse in the Remenau-
Vile section.
"The cannonading has been rather seri.
ous in Lorraine where we badly damaged
some German organizations, on the Re

ALL
GOT AWAY
Their Escape Causes Grave
Alarm on Mexican
Border
MORE PREPARATION
FOR PROTECTION
Strong Patrol Occupies Ev-
cry Foot Of the Rio
Grande Bank

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 25.--Another
critical turn in the turbulent relations
of Americans and Mexicans on the lower
Texas border was evident to-day, as a
result OF yesterdays raid by Mexicans
on the village Of Progresso and the cas-
ualties sustained by the American army
detachment, which finally routed the in
yaders.
All of the Mexicans, probably so in
number, were said to have escaped into
Mexico, but a strong army Of patrols
occupied every foot of the Rio Grande
bank to prevent q repetition of the raid.
in the interior, peace officers and citi-
zens renewed their precautions to pro-
tect isolated settlements and ranches.
The escape of the Mexicans is regarded
as one Of the gravest features of yes
terday's battle. Captain Anderson and
Private Kennedy, who We're wounded
yesterday, are reported to-day to be in
no danger. The body Of Private Stub
bletield, who was killed by Mexicans, is
being held for relatives.

SOUVENIRS FROM GERMAN SHELLS
French Metal Artisans and Engrayers
Busy in Army.

Paris, Sept. 25.Many metal artisans
and engrayers serving in the artillery
devote their leisure moments to carving
ornaments from aluminium and copper
taken from exploded German shells.
These souvenirs, made beneath the bomb
proof shelters at the front, have been
highly priced by the recipients at home,
and until a short time ago it was inn
possible to buy them.
Recently a society was organized,
whose aim is to dispose of these trink-
cts, the proceeds to their sale being for
warded directly to the men themselves.
Each article is accompanied by a card
bearing the name and military address
Of the maker, and if desired the pur-
chasers may receive card of acknowl-
edgment from him.
Aluminium rings are the most popular,
but loekets, brooches, bracelets, paper
knives, ash receivers, paper weights, ink
stands, and various other articles of ey-
cry day use are made. The cross of
Lorraine, emblem of Joan of Are, is a
iayorite design for rings; four leaf cIo-
fers, horse shoes, and occasionally some
special mark of the regiment are also
Employed.
Exploded shells, and fragments, are
ised in many Partisan homes, as flower
pots, vases for cut flowers, umbrella
tands, and similar uses.

But Just Publishers of a
New York Paper, Won
Papen Called "Idiotic"
MAKES EXPLANATION
OF THE EXPRESSION
He Also Says 1t Is Deuced
Bad Form to Publish a
Mans Letter to His Wife

San Francisco, Sept. 25.-Captain
Franz Won Papen, military attache to
the German embassy at Washington,
who is here with Prince Won Hatzfeldt
| of the embassy, denied to-day that the
depression 'idiotic Yankee" contained in
a letter entrusted to j. +. j. Archibald
and intercepted by the British authori-
ties was intended to apply to the Amer
iean people.
THE much discussed letter was to my
wife," he said. In passing it may be
said that the publishing Of a mans let
ter to his wife is deuced bad form When
the British authorities at Falmouth
found these letters on Archibald they
pounded with avidity on the two words
that have made all this trouble. They
published only an excerpt OF my let
ter, thus changing the meaning entire
ly. My wife or anybody else reading
the letter from start to finish would
have gathered that the expression 'idiotic
Yankees referred to the publishers of
New York newspaper This newspa
per has been calling us conspirators
and other Objectionable epithets. Ii
grew especially vehement after the port
folio containing certain of our private
papers had been stolen from one of our
men on the train. In writing my wife
/ dealt with these publications. Not
word did the British publish about these
parts of my letter."
Captain Won Papen. who insisted that
his explanation be considered as an
amicable discussion and not an interview,
said he was here for few days' visit
ut the exposition and to amuse himself
and after vacation he would return to
his post at Washington.

TREATING PROHIBITED.
Important Order Issued by King George
of England

London, Sept. 25.--King George has
already signed an order which will be
issued next week applying the clauses
Of the control Of liquor act to the Lon
don area. The order will prevent treat
ing in public houses, clubs and hotels IN
London.
A similar order, which has been APP
piled to other areas under the powers
conferred by the defense Of the realm
act, has decreased by 40 per cent the
number of cases Of drunkenness dealt
with by the police, The order Of the
king says;
1T is expedient for the successful
Of the present war that the
sale and supply Of intoxicing liquors in
the area defined shall be controlled by
the state on the ground that war mate
rial is being made, loaded and dealt
with in transit therein and that men be-
longing to his majesty's naval and mill
tary forces are assembled therein"
lt is expected that the hours during
which drink may be sold will be short
ened and the dilution of spirits will be
insisted upon.

But Greek People Believe 1t
Must Come with

MOBILIZATION ORDER
BROUGHT RELIEF
Apparently Public Has Be-
come Tired of Playing
international Politics

Athens, via Paris. Sept. 25.--Great re-
lief has been caused throughout Greece
by the order calling for mobilization Of
tile army. The people apparently are
glad to exchange the uncertainties OF
politics for the possibility Of war.
1t is not thought, however, that hostil-
titles will follow Immediately although
ii r. generally believed in official circles
at least, that the struggle between
Greece and Bulgaria cannot be averted
eventually.
Mobilization is under way to-day and
il proceeding quietly. People are some
what bewildered by the latest turn of
events, not knowing whether it may
lead. King Constantine, who recently
passed through severe illness, is indis-
posed and his conference with Premier
venizalos has been postponed for to-
day.
