SECRETARY OF WAR

HAS UNIQUE POLICY fearing Anglo-German War, 17,000 British Unemlpoyed Are to Be Trained. GOES INTO RETIREMENT. DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH G0E8 TO PICTURESQUE LITTLE VILLAGE OF DUNKIRK TO MAKE HOME. BY RICHARD ABERCORN. London, Oct. 17. Ostensibly to re lleve the suffering among unemployed, ,but In reality to get the necessary num ber of men to carry out his army plan and provide suitable defense for the country in case of the outbreak of the much, feared Anglo-German war, In Haldane, the British secretary of war lias offered to engage 17,000 able bodJed men to undergo six months mili tary training this winter. ' The proposal has attracted wide spread attention and on the whole the plan has been widely and cordially approved by all parties, but there is always or nearly always as the English eay, a floy in the ointment and on this OC&SlOu 11 appears iu uava uecu jyi jvtded by the labor party. , Of course they want something else and they would rather have their followers suffer and go idle all winter than not have their own, way. The labor party will iave no kind of drafting even for the shortest term of service, not even during the winter months or to reduce the ' ranks of the ever-growing army of unemployed. 4 I asked Mr. W. Steadman, one of the labor members of parliament, why he J was against the scheme and received this answer: "Why we might as well have general' conscription- at once. Perhaps Mr. Haldane is short of territorials or maybe he intends to strengthen the milt la. .But whatever he proposes to do with the men, we shall be dead -against the scheme or any scheme which takes advantage of prevailing Unemployment to tacrease the army, i Of course, if the men enter the service voluntarily It is their own business. The expenses in that department are aireaay iar too mgn. mere are iar better schemes to help the unemployed. We should have more farm colonies, and I would also propose that instead Of buying up the London dock cornDenies the government 6hould dredge and deepen the channels and erect deep water jetties so as to enable ships to dock at all periods of the tide. Such work would of course cost millions, but besides providing work for men of all classes it would be of permanent advantage to trade generally. i no pile lor mw new nomtr oi tut?

280 YEARS, AGE OF THREE VOTERS.

Spokane, Wash., Oct. 17. Two hundred and eighty years is the combined age of three voters in Spokane, and it is believed they are the oldest in the Taclfic northwest. The veteran of the trio is Horace Bagley, 97 years of age, born near Burlington, Vt., who cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson, while a resident of Mobile, Ala., in 1832. The second !s G. W. Horton, 02 years, born near Binghamton, V. Y., where he voted for Martin Van Buren, and the third is Daniel Dwight, 91 years, born at Dudley, Mass., also a supporter of Van Buren. He will vote fcr William Jennings Bryan, while the first two named will cast their ballots for William H. Taft. way in women representatives. There are six women on the board of guardians and two in the borough council." Dunkirk, a picturesque little village between Canterbury and Faversham, has witnessed the advent of the Duchess of Marlborough, who has gone to live the simple life among the hopgrowers and farmers of East Kent. Five miles from the nearest railroad station the village itself is on the top of Boughton Hill and Berkeley, the quiet retreat chosen by the duchess is on some of the highest and in the county and commands a glorious view of the hopgardens with the blue waters of the channel in the distance. An old fashioned white brick house, Berkeley, is a striking contrast to Blenheim or Sunderland House in Mayfair. It is furnished in a solidly comfortable rather than luxurious style. The duchess keeps early hours at her new country home and the day is spent driving, walking and reading. Lord Ivor Churchill, the lO-year-old younger son of the duchess, is her constant companion, and it was indeed on his account that the duchess decided to lease the house for two years. Since her arrival the duchess has visited the hop-gardens several times and many of the poor hop-pickers who had come from the east end of London recognized their benefactress who had so often helped them when they were in need. WHERE BULLETS FLEW. David Parker, of Fayette, N. Y., a veteran of the civil war, who lost a foot at Gettysburg, says: "The good Electric Bitters have done is worth more than five hundred dollars to me. I spent much money doctoring for a bad case of stomach trouble, to little purpose. I then tried Electric Bitters, and they cured me. I now take them as a tonic, and they keep me strong and well." 50c, at A. G. Luken & Co's drug store. YUKON GOVERNMENT TEN YEARS OLD Country Has Produced $100,000 in Gold. Seattle, Wash., Oct. 17. Ten years ago on Sept. 5, the first territorial government of the Yukon territory was formally installed in office at Dawson, the capital of tho Yukon. Governor William Ogilvie, the first commander, with seventeen assistants arrived on that day from White Horse by tho steamer Ora and immediately established temporary headquarters in a big log cabin building that had been erected for the purpose. Since that time the famous Klondike district and adjoining creeks have produced a total of over $100,000(000 in gold, all of which has gone into the world'3 coffers and is being used in the conduct of the world's business. It is to properly celebrate this fact and bring about further development of the gold resources of the Yukon and Alaska that tho Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition is being held at Seattle next summer. Gold has done much for the world, and this is the first time that an exposition has been held to give it honor. The Yukon territory is still a great gold producer. Within the last few years, while the methods of gold extraction have been undergoing a change, the production ha3 dropped off, but with the Installation of dredges, hydraulic appliances and huge water systems the gold production will rereive a big impetus that will soon put the Yukon back in the front rank. Governor Ogilvie is still in tho Yukon, now engaged in dredging. He is one of the enthusiastic workers for the exposition and will be present as will many others of the first government. LAND OWNERS STAND AGAINST UNION PACIFIC Railroad Seeks to Secure Old Land Grant. Omaha, Oct. 17. A number of land owners holding land along the line of the Union Pacific, are banding together to fight an attempt of the Union Pacific to gain possession of a tract of land 20 feet wide and more than 1.000 miles long. The railroad bases its claim upon the provisions of the original land grant from the government to the Union Pacific railroad. The railroad at first was granted a 400-foot right of way, but before it had taken actual possession of the land the government decided that a 200-foot right of way would be sufficient. It is the other 200 feet that the company Is now trying to gain.

PALACE TO TBAIHWITH WIRE Left to His Fate, Boy Manages To Escape. Allentown, Pa., Oct. 17. Bound with wire rope to a railroad train that was about to move by two tramps, Harvey Fatzinger, a lti-year old boy, after a desperate struggle, managed to release himself and started for home, falling exhausted "at the doorstep. He is in a critical condition in consequence of the treatment he received and from fright. Young Fatzinger was held up in an isolated spot by two tramps, who, after they had relieved him of his pay, tied a rope about his neck and led him about the country, stopping at several out of the way hotels, where they spent the money in drink, Fatzinger being in the meantime tied to a tree nearby. Finally they bound his hands with a wire rope and tying him to a railroad train that was about to move abandoned the boy, expecting him to be killed. ANNEXING PATTERNS. Germany to Fight Against American Trade. Berlin, Oct. 17. Since the FrancoGerman war an immense' trade has been developed in Germany in American agricultural implements. Strenuous efforts are now being made to eliminate this competition and in doing so the manufacturers are freely annexing American patterns of mowers, reapers, binders, hay rakes, etc. Even the children are saving their pennies to assist in swelling the funds for the Reid Memorial Hospital. You will have a chance to follow the footsteps of the children. Get a tag. BALLOONING. It is a Safe and Simple Sport, but Not a Cheap One. The only peril in a balloon ascension in such good weather as careful aeronauts choose for a voyage is in alighting, and in a well ordered expedition, where all the passengers keep cool and cling to the car, there is no danger at all. Even if the wind is blowing hard the strong, elastic, woven willow basket takes up the danger part of the shock. One of these baskets ought to yield up its passengers unhurt from a landing in a wind blowing fifty miles an hour. Ballooning under moderately favorable circumstances Is a safe and simple sport. It Is not, comparatively speaking, a cheap amusement. An ascent, including the cost of gas, expense of a pilot and transportation of passengers and balloon home, costs in this country from $35 to $75 a passenger. It is less in France. From Paris you can make an ascension for about a hundred francs. The fare home is a very variable expense. Nothing is more uncertain than the spot where you will land. Of course It Is easy to descend whenever you like. You may limit yonr flight to a couple of hours. Albert White Vorse in Success Magazine. A Sea Story. "Of all my sea experiences," said the captain, "this was the strangest." The ladles at the handsome captain's table said "Hush!" to one another and turned to the ruddy mariner with liatening smiles. "We were carrying," he said, "a lot of troop horses. A dreadful storm overtook us, and for two days we wallowed in the trough of a heavy sea. Finally It was decided that, to lighten the ship, the horses must go overboard. "They went overboard in the morning. As soon as they saw that they were abandoned they turned and began to swim bravely after us. Bravely, desperately, they swam. They followed ii for miles and miles. I can still see them, a long line, their necks arched, pushing heroically through the heavy sea. "They sank, poor brutes, one by one." The captain smiled sadly. "And I still seem to have," he said, "all those deaths on my conscience." New Orleans Times-Democrat. JM. Relieves aour stomach, palpitation of the heart, Dicaatt what you eat

rvn RING 2nd WATER POWER COMES TO FRONT Great Developments in the South. Washington, Oct. 17. The improvement of steam engines practically put water power into the background, and kept it there for several years. But in this age of wonderful electrical advancement, water powers are again to the front, and hypro-electrical work has assumed large proportions in the south. Over 500,000 horsepower , is now under development, at a cost of $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. With much already accomplished in the James river in Virginia, the Roanoke in North Carolina, the Chattahoochee in Georgia, the Tallahassee in Alabama, : and in other streams, activities are bei ing speeded for the making available of millions of horsepower in the vast region stretching from the Susquehanna to the Rio Grande in sections tributory to the Potomac, the James, the Roanoke, the Catawba, the Yadkin, the Pee Doo, the Savannah, the Chattahoochee, the Tennessee, the Warrior, the Cumberland, the Ohio, the Kanawha, the Red. and the Llano.

New York, Oct. 17. Thomas L. Lewis, national president of the United Mine Workers of America has enlisted in the Taft cause and says that the miners will support Taft almost to a man. He said: While I am not like Mr. Gompers, in a position to hand over the votes of the organization of which I am the head, I believe our hope lies in the election of Mr. Taft, and furthermore, I am satisfied in my mind that he will win a decisive victory over Bryan. I have been over Maryland, West Virginia and Missouri, and have sounded the workingmen in these places. In each case the sentiment for Taft has been greater than I expected it to be and there appears to te no doubt of the republicans carrying the states. As for Ohio and such states, it is a mere matter of majorities. CHICHESTER'S PILLS tufa ira l A.u jr irrnscLt fJ bl-obifc-x-r-. UlinoaJIlnn 111.1. In R.d and U0I1X metaUii boTtn.
