SLAIN ON WEDDING EVE.

Woman Murdered on Ohio Road .d Body Laid Out far Burial. Her hands folded nv.T her breast and her limbs straightened out as if for burial, Ora Lee, 21 years old. a handsome girl, was found murdered on thn road between Wadsworth, Ohio, and the hamlet of Custard Hook. Two bullets had pierced the girl's body. Guy Rasor, the man whom Miss lx"e was to have married the next day, is detained by the sheriff pending developments of the police investigation. Rasor denies all knowledge of the tragedy and exhibits a marriage license procured at Wooster the previous day. The body of the young woman was found by Charles Rasor, a cousin of Guy Rasor, in the early hours of the day. Two bullets had entered the girl's skull, one piercing the forehead, while the second crashed through between che eye and nose. A band of farmers, led by Marshal Pricker, going to the scene as soon as word of the tragedy was received, met Guy Rasor on the road. The police theory is that Miss Lee was killed while riding in a buggy with a man friend. The principal clew that led to the detent ioii of Guy Rasor is that along the road are plainly seen the tracks of a horse. with one shoe missing. An examination of the stables at the Rasor home disclosed the fact that one of Rasor's horses has a shoe missing from one of its front feet. Rasor refuses any explanation of this. He declares he can prove an alibi. Another police theory is that a rival for the affections of Miss Lee may have shot the girl on learning of her approaching marriage.

The couple had evidently been dead several hours, the supposition of the police beifg that they turned on the gas with suicidal intent, though the possibility of accidental death is admitted.

Peaceful picketing and the right to stiike, or threaten to strike, was upheld in the United States Court of Appeals in Chicago in a decision handed down by Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman.

RIVAL RULEES IN THE BALKAN CLASH, BULGARIAN AND TURK WARRIORS.

A4 ABITUR - HAMID HUHKISH I EUROPE'S WAR CLOUD. Muss in tho Balkans Has Served to Greatly Excite the Powers. It is a long time since Europe has had anything us exciting as the Bulgarian muss. Turkey had just begun business under its constitution, and Hon. Abe Hamid bad begun to get used to tbo sijrht of bis subjects and quit wearing sheet iron linings in Iiis bloomers. There was some prosect that the army ami navy might get a few years overdue back pay, and the ladies of tu zenana were liguring on a few new Paris gowns and high-heeled slippers. Kvc-rytiiinj; was sailing along smoothly when Prince Ferdinand suddenly got the bit in his teeth and ran nway with the whole outfit. Ills independence party movement lias set nil Europe wor.4t'ii: lias announced her intention of .nt.xg the provinces of Bosnia ii ml Herzegovina, and as Cousin Wilhelm is backing up this little land grab it is pretty likely to go through. Italyis in:id because Austria is seizing a territory largely jeopletl by Italians. Russia is mad on general principles. Turkey is busy trying to thrash naughty, naughty Ferdinand, and Austria-is unopposed. There is a demand for a congress of the signatories to the Berlin treaty to decide what shall be don?, now that Austria has violated the integrity of Turkey, but students of European politics fear that such a uiectiii.r would result in trouble. However, it is not believed that war will result unless the progressive element among tho Turks feels that something must bo done to prove that u new era has dawned in Turkey. The chief danger apparently is that Russia and perhaps certain other countries of Europe will demand something to comIKMisate them for the increased strength of Austria and Its allies. Further, the fury of the Servians, at the growing prestige of their old rivals, the Bulgarians, may lead to armed attacks along the Bulgarian or Austrian frontier. The Bulgarians of Macedonia who, opposing Greece an ne side and Turkey on the other, long have sought to come under the political domination of Sofia, doubtless will take new hope from the formation of an independent nation mied by a "czar of the Bulgarians." Only a war of conquest against Turkey could join them to the new Bulgarian kingdom. The Bulgarian army Is remarkably efficient for its size, but the staying power of the Turks has leen abundantly demonstrated. Russia's wish for a new conference of the powers which signed the treaty of Berlin to modify that instrument seems to be generally shared by the governments of Europe. The present feeling nr Paris and London is that the emperor of Germany, by encouraging Francis Joseph and Ferdinand in their daring course, has scored heavily against the new western alliance formerly by King Edward. Still, it is probable that the whole matter will end merely in peaceful diplomatic passages. ProRreur In the So at Ik Reports published by the Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore show that stone rcadniaking is in progress throughout the South without let-up, and that contracts are constantly being made. Also huge sums are being frpeut on the development of various industries, such as coal, oil, cotton, etc. At Edinburgh, Scotland, Andrew Carnegie announced his decision to set aside $ 1 ,2.10,000 for the foundation of a hero fund iv his native land. That the growing generation in the rural districts of Minnesota is taking an active interest in agriculture, and is eager to take up the work, well equipped by experience, is s'iown by the fact that more than J.fMK) children under the age of IS --111 coiupetc in the State industrial eon- ; test at the school of agriculture on Jan. 2, .1 and 4. An appeal has been made to the State authorities for th-s stockmen of Butte county, S. I)., to give aid in the extermi iat ion of anthrax, which at the present I lime is p'.-iyl:), liavco with the hig cnttle herds of th cou:.ty. The reply of the German pivcrnmrnt to the joint note of France and Spain nam- ! h;g tho conditions for the recognition of Mulai IIa fi.1 as Saltan of Morocco agrees to nearly all of the conditions, but insists tl.at the steps be taken in accord with the Moroccan law, and that while the engagements of the previous Sultan with the powers be respected, that his engagements with individuals be not regarded. Fraternities and sororities in the public schools of Iowa will be forlidden by law if State Superintendent John F. Riggs can influence the coming General Assembly to enact such a statute.

BIG frlEETTO ADVOCATE

LAKES TO-GULF ROUTE Greatest of Deep Waterway Gatherings Is Opened in the Chicago Auditorium. ADDRESSES BY NOTABLE MEN. Boom for Improvement of the Country's Natural Transportation Besources Given New Impetus. The greatest deep waterway convention ever held began its sessions in the uditoriuui Theater at Chicago Wednesday, and the city on that day was aost to two presidential candidates and me vice presidential nominee, who .vcre guests of honor of the Lakes-tome-Gulf Deep Waterway Association. William Howard Taft, Republican aoininee for President; William Jenlings Bryan, Denuxratlc nominee for President, and John Temple Graves, rice presidential candidate of the Independence party, were the three distlnruished guests. These three men adIressed the waterways convention raft and Bryan at a banquet Wedueslay night and Mr. Graves at a great unoker held Thursday night at the ?cliseum for 5,000 of the waterway lelegates and their friends. Taft also ;poke at the opening meeting of the invention Wednesday morning. Bryan ?pohe at the session Thursday mornWilliam K. Kavanaugh, president of ;he association, called the convention to order and introduced Bishop Samjel -Fallows, who pronounced the Invosition. Bishop Fallows prayed for the ?nr!y consummation of the convention's objects in the interest of American prorress and the greater glory of dGod. The iddress of President Kavanaugh fol'owed the invocation, and after it Secretary William F. Saunders read his report. The audience presented an unusually beautiful assemblage, every delegate holding an American flag, which had been presented to him at the door on his entrance. On the stage, in addition to the officers of the association delegates, sat Governors, United States Senators and Congressman of the various States and officials of many different cities. "Waterway Illnlory la Related. William F. Saunders of St. Louis, secretary of tiie Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway Association, in his report to the convention detailed the history of the deep-waterway movement, the difficulties it encountered in the beginning, its purpose, scope and prospects for the future and the benefits that the United States ivould derive from it. The work of the association in teaching through newspapers, magazines, pamphlets and speakers the importance of the deep-waterway project was explained by Secretary Saunders. "Through its publicity," the report sets forth, "the association teaches the merchants and manufacturer? that with the building of the deep waterway freight .rates will be steady and reasonable and not subject to the violent fluctuations such as occur at present. It also teaches the l,nO0,O0O men directly employed by the railways that rail and river transportation are complementary ; they must help each other to perfect the transportation of the country." According to Secretary Saunders the doctrine of the association is that the first duty of the government is to perfect its transportation and that this can only be done by building the deep waterway from Chicago to New Orleans, improving at the same time into complete navigability the principal tributaries of the Mississippi river so that the ship waterway between the lakes and the gulf will be the trunk line of a comprehensive system of waterways. The actual launching of the deep waterway movement by the trip down the river from Chicago to New Orleans over the route of the proposed waterway made by Congressmen William Lorimer and Henry T. Rainey of Illinois and Ben Humphreys of Mississippi and their organizing of the deep waterway association was related by Secretary Saunders and every step taken in that connection by the var!ous associations, officials and citizens since then was explained. "The first convention of the association held in St. Louis had on its roster 1,1 ("JO delegates representing twelve States," runs the report. "The second convention in Memphis last year had on its roster 2.300 delegates, representing nineteen States, and this convention has on its roster. 3,517 delegates, representing fortyfour States." WoJd Seirresrnte Covrn. Dr. V. A. Moore of Cornell university, in a paper read before the convention of the American Veterinary Association, urged that the only course that offered hope of checking the rapid increase of bovine tuberculosis in America is to segregate the healthy herds and pass laws to control the sale of cattle. NOTES OF CTTERENT EVENTS. Frank A. Day has been re-elected chairman of the Minnesota Democratic State central committee. At S2iecpshead Bay Priscillian, carrying top weight, won the Occidental handicap at one and one-eighth miles in the fast time of 1 :52. On Labor Day labor organizations throughout the country received an address from SamuelGompers, in which he reviewed the events since the previous I-abor Da'. The Minnesota State board of equalization had several bankers of the State before them in regard to bank assessments. The board fixed 50 per cent of the capital rtock. surplus and undivided profits as 1 the basis of assessment. Some banks were assessed below that, but there was no serious objection to the raise. Fast em parties, representing several produce concerns, will establish a central creamery plant at Albert Lea, Minn. The ground has been purchased and the plans for the building are in the hands of contractors. The structure will be of concrete and brick, and the machinery will be the very latest manufactured. Although Minor Heir, the famous pacer who reeled off a mile in 1 :50'.; in Milwaukee, failed to equal that record, his plucky race against time against a strong breeze, making the mile in 2:01, was the star event of the first day of the Grand circuit meet at the State .fair grounds in Syracuse, N. Y. In South Dakota the September examinations for teadhers added a large force to the available teachers of the State, and probably will fill the vacancies which have been calling for teachers in many of the counties. Out of a total of 1.563 applicants who wrote in the exanimations, 923, or practically CO per ' ent. were r ran ted certificates.

a -s-r tiL IÄNCIAL CHICAGO. The weekly review of trade, published by R. G. Dun & Co., says: Trade developments include none of ttriking importance, and conditions mainly afford encouragement for the future. Movements of general merchandise now fitend to seasonable proportions, and retail trade here and at the interior is favorably stimulated by lower temperatures. Staple commodities remain ?u fair request for early shipment, the attendance pf buyers in the wholesale branches being well maintained, and the deep water ways convention brought large numbers of visitors, who bought freely at the fall openings in fashionable lines, satisfactory absorption being made of apparel, millinery, footwear and house furnishings. Chicago steam road returns tet iify to increasing freight tonnage, of finished products and heavy materials, aid receipts disclose further recovery in crude supplies for conversions. Live stock arrivals make the best aggregate in some time past, although shortage is yet felt in hogs and beeves. Stocks of provisions in store have undergone rapid reduction during tbe last thirty days, and easier values induced more liberal buying and heavy east-bound shipments. Cash gain markets were duller than was expected, but futures became active upon reports of political troubles in Europe. Manufacturing indicates that machinery and labor have become more fully engaged.- Furnace product is in rather ! quiet demand for the first quarter of 1000, and prices waver, but there is steadier activity at the steel mills, carshops and foundries, and closer working to capacity in farm implements, heavy hardware, machinery and electric appliances. Bank clearings. $237,347,501, are 4.9 per cent under those of corresponding week of 1907.

Although trade reports are somewhat irregular in character, owing largely to varying weather condition i in different sections of the country and uncertainties caused by impending elections, the general undertone is toward sustained Improvement. Country trade has been comparatively quiet, because the farmers have been taking advantage of the ideal weather to complete their harvesting. However, the heavy marketing of crops has been for on increased railway tonnage and improved collections considerably, while exlorts of wheat are heavy.

At Salem, Mass., after a continuous existence in the hands of the same family, the oldest store in America has been closed, ending a career of K4 years. The present owner will devote his time to the development of an invention. Officials of the International Paper Company have announced that several mills which have been shut dowi for four weeks will be started within a few days. The plants were closed because the men refused to accept a reduction of 10 per cent in wages. Statements are made that the annual report of the International Paper Company will show earnings about $10,000 in excess of what they were a year ago. The earnings of the company reached their lowest mark about January, but since then have shown moderate increases monthly. The $10,O0O,O!Y City of Philadelphia thirty-year 4 per cent loan was five times oversubscribed. The awards went to the highest bidders fit prices w!n'!i yield the city a premium of .33I.S70. Two NewYork banking fnr,s got tl.e issues, namely, William A. Ilea l & Co. and Harvey Fis'v & So:s. C. K. Sinclair of Minneapolis, surveyor general of lumber, reports that the lumber cut this ye:ir will be the lowest since 1873. This will be due principa'.iy to the high water in the early part of the season, and the low water at the present time. In the first four months of this year about 80.000,000 feet of lumber was cut, while the cut for the same months last year amounted to over twice that amouut.

In the presence of 40,000 hostile, jeering, partisan New York spectators the baseball machine from Chicago mowed down the team that had fought bitterly all the season until the two teams were tied at the end. From the manner in which the Cubs played and simply outclassed the Giants fnm start to finish, with the exception of brief time In the first Inning, one wondered how New York ever got a tic with the Westerners. In the presence of a record breaking crowd which suainped the grounds and left many thousands outside long before the game began, a game was played in deadly earnest straight baseball with no frills to settle as tensely dramatic ft situation as the most ardent lover of sport could Imagine. The game was played In the cheerful sunshine of an ideal baseball day before a vast concourse of people, who carried with them to the Polo grounds the rent up enthusiasm, hopes, and fears accumulated day by day In the closing weeks of a season's fight for a National League pennant which had been ab- ' solutely unprecedented for constantly Intensifying Interest and uncertainty. Cnbi Hooted and Mobbed. It was the wildest day in the history of baseball. 'Hie greatest crowd ever known in the annals of the national game began gathering long before dawn, and, although 35,000 squeezed Inside the gates, twice that number were turned aw.iy, and doubtless there were 40.000 fans viewing the game from the bluffs behind the grand stand, the "L" structure, viaduct, speedway, roofs, trees and overhanging cliffs. One man lost his life nd the police carried away seven men who went stark mad at the entrance to the grounds when they were refused admission, though holding tickets for the game. lAnd Chicago, by the most sensational ball-playing, snatched the flag way from the Giants and left the field three-time winners of the National League championship. The Cubs won like sportsmen "and gentlemen. They faced the most perilous situation In that mighty throng that any ttand of athletes ever faced. They were cruelly hooted and hissed when they came upon, the field and were foully dealt with by tho New York ball club, which succeeded in depriving the Cubs of their batting practice before the game. Such hitting as the Cubs did In that all-Important onslaught against Mathewson in the third inning! Four-tremendous smashes were made by Tinker, Kling, Schulte and Chance, and they yielded alT the four runs the conquerors secured. That rally was a round of terror to the New York fans, who seemed so hostile in their demand for n New -York victory that they were almost Imperiling the llf and limb of the Chicago players. And so deep did the gaff sink into the hlles of the bitterly partisan fans, who tanked everything on Mathewson, that when It was all over the Cubs narrowly escaped with their lives. Unable to lay out any of the Cubs before they reached their dressingrooms, several hundred violent fans tried to smash the barriers separating them from the Chicago drestlng-rooms. They beat several policemen, who finally had to b.tck up against the fence with drawn revolvers to prevent the Cubs being attacked In their own dressingrooms. Manager Chance and his champion team sought less hostile quarters as soon as possible, and left for Detroit on the first train to engage In the struggle for the world's championship with Manager Jennings' Tigers.. At dusk the great New York multitude departed the historic in closure hushed and disappointed. NUBBINS OF NE7S. George L.
