BOSTON G AVE THE COLONEL BIG WELCOME (Natlonal News Association) i POINT OK PINES, Mass., Aug. 17. Fifteen thousand people, Including J throngs of Progressive party enthus-j lasts from all parts of New England, cheered Colonel Roosevel. today when lie flayed Senator Crane and denounced the nomination steal at the Republican national convention. The colonel appeared in his best fighting spirits. The Progressives held their first big meeting of the campaign today and for an hour before the colonel's arrival the Progressive state ticket was boomed by prominent speakers. The colonel's arrival was the signal for a big outburst of cheering, and he launched at once on his speech. He said, In part: , "It is a bad thing to win a senatorehip by such methods as Mr. Lorimer employed, but it is not one whit worse than to steal a nomination for the presidency by such methods as were employed by the bosses who controlled the Republican convention at Chicago last June. 'Certain of y.cuir New England senators, I regret to say, took the lead both in conducting the campaign for the defense of Mr. Lorimer and putting through the steal of the Republican nomination at Chicago. "When Senators Crane, Aldrich, Penrose, Guggenheim, Gallinger, Dillingham and their associates together with "Senators Hanley, Johnson and their . fissociates r on. the. Democratic side stood by Senator Lorimer and Senator Lorimer'a right to sit in the Benate they were doing precisely and exactly what Penrose, Crane, Guggenheim, Gallinger 'and their representa tives. did later when '.they secured the i triumph of Lorimerism in the Republican convention at Chicago." ' "In his speech of acceptance Mr. Wilson (after asking what is the meaning of the Baltimore platform and answering his own question rather vaguely) states that he does not ask the people of the United States to adopt that platform and that the platform is not a program. "We Progressives,, are much more fortunate in our platform. We do not have to apologize for it, nor speak of it in language so carefully guarded as to convey . the Impression that we are endeavoring neither to repudiate nor to support it." Col. Roosevelt devoted the remainder of his address to an explanation of the various planks in the Progressive platform. "Were all medicines as meritorious as Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy the world would be much better off and the percentage of suffering grelatly decreased," writes Lindsay-Scott, of Temple, Ind. For Bale by all dealers. ; MAGIC OF WOODCRAFT. Fts of Trailing th Result of Obser- ' vation and Daduotion. ' The truth Is that without & knowledge of woodcraft one would soon perish In the wilderness, and woodcraft Is simply Sherlock Holmes' work applied, to wild life, a matter of observation and deduction. If a man finds a lot of hair adhering to a trunk of a tree ha knows it did not grow there, nd he is safe In assuming tbat no man took the trouble to stick it there. Thus he arrives at the conclusion that some animal has been scratching Itself on the tree. ' But In order to tell what animal has been there he must be familiar with the bair belonging to all the Inbabitcnts of that section. Not until then can he say that a deer, a moose, a puma or a wolf, as the case may be, rubbed Its side against the tree trunk. Of course If there Is snow upou the ground. the tracks of the animal will aid him In identifying the creature. : Again. If the day is absolutely calm and the sun Is shining and be notes that the dead leave? have been displaced and their damp sides turned uppermost or that the damp sides of the pebbles are exposed he reasons" tbat they have recently been disturbed and concludes that some animal disturbed the leaves or pebbles. In fact, all the apparently wonderful 1 feats of trailing are based primarily Upon a trained habit of observation. Dan Beard in Leslie's.

(National News Association) NEWTON, Conn., Aug. 17. Big guna boomed across the Connecticut hills, theoretical shells flew over the heads of the contesting soldiers, trumpets sounded the cavalry charge and the battle of 20,000 men for the possession of New York, the metropolis of the Western continent, was on today. Antual fichtinp- hoenn at riflwn al- . , r ,., i T)irr though under cover of darkness Brig. Gen. Frederick A. Smith, commander of th "Red" army of invasion had 8ent hia cavalry detachments against the right flank of the "Blue" army which was defending New York. When day broke the infantry was set in motion and advanced in force against the strongly intrenched "Blue" army, commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert L. Mills. It was the intention of Gen. Smith to fling his forces against the Blue line, force a passage to the New York state line and cut off the water supply of New York city by seizing the Croton watersheds. With the water supply cut off the Metropolis would live at the mercy of the foreign Invaders. The "Red" army encamped last night at Berkshire, a few miles below this point. Throughout the night campfires twinkled on the hillside and outposts kept a keen watch to prevent a surprise attack. However, the vigilance of the sentries was not needed for the "Blue" lay camped along the east bank of the Aspetuck river where they had thrown up fortifications. With their muzzles turned eastward, the artillery of the "Blue brigade" lay on Redding ridge, an eminence commanding the surrounding country. BIG CROWDS VISIT CENTERVILLE TODAY Five Thousand People Were Attracted by Annual Old Settlers' Picnic. (Palladium Special) CENTERVILLE, Ind., Aug. 17 Fully five thousand people attended the Old Settlers' picnic held in Maple park here today. The weather was ideal, and it combined to bring the large crowd together. In every respect the classic event of the year in Centerville, was a splendid success. The morning was spent in welcoming arrivals, who came in buggies, autos, trains and interurbans from all parts of the state. A large delegation came irom Richmond. The following program was carried out this afternoon: Invocation Mrs. Stella Teas. America Children's Chorus. Secretary Report Walter Ratliff. Song Quartet. Agriculture of Pioneer Days David Doddridge. Agriculture of Today C. B. Jackson. Solo Mrs. Clarence Hadley. Reading Miss Bessie Buhl. Commercial Interests of Wayne County, Past and Present Clayton B. Hurst. Solo Miss Hulda Kenley. Piano Solo Miss Ruth Peltz. Reading Mrs. Geo. Chrisman. Reading Orville Southard. Solo Florence Kersey. Practice of Law in Early Days Judge Henry C. Fox. Law of Today Wilfred Jessup. Piano Solo Miss Ruth Peltz. Benediction Rev. Ryder. This evening a dance will be held at Jackson's park at which a record breaking attendance is expected. A PAVING CONTRACT WAS GIVEN TODAY The county commissioners today accepted the contract made with John Potter for the bricking of North Tenth street, north of the railroad to the city limit and the macadamizing of the Richmond-Newport road. The total length of the improvement is 4,700 feet and the cost $29,200. John O. Edgerton, superintendent of the construction of Easthaven Ave., resigned and Thomas F. Swaine was selected to fill the vacancy. I. G. Dougan was appointed to superintend the construction of the Richmond-Newport road. No bids were received by the commissioners for the new roof of the court he use-

The army had been concentrated for today's conflict with the flanks protected by cavalry and the center supported by artillery. Today's battleground was a hilly quadrangular stretch of country lying between Danbury on the west, Newton on the north, Monroe on the east and Redding on the south. The New York state line lies five miles east of Danbury and the N. Y., N. H. & H. tracks stretch along the northern boundary of the field. The Saugatuck flows along the southwestern boundary field while the Aspetuck river divides the center of the theater. The Deep Rock river runs along the eastern edge near the night encampment of the Reds. The "Blue" army had fallen back to a position along the Aspetuck thus carrying out a piece of strategy to lure the Blues into the position which General Mills had selected. Lying behind both armies were the wagon and hospital trains. Heavy ammunition and provision trains creaked their ponderous way into position through the night. Long before dawn the headquarters of both forces were spurred to activity. Gens. Mills and Smith were Issuing orders to their staffs; engineers with maps spread out before them were poring over the topographical features of the country; telegraph instruments clicked and the hoof beats of hurrying horses broke on the morning air. Aroused by the clamor the troops tore themselves away from their warm blankets and tumbled out in the foggy morning air, each man agreeing perfectly with Gen. Sherman in his definition of war. PALLADIUM BOYS ARE T0CAMP OUT Will Be Guests of the Management During the Lo6al Chautauqua. The Palladium's staff of carrier boys 28 in all, are to be the guests of the Palladium management at the Chautauqua. They will camp there the entire ten days, and all their expenses will be paid. The Palladium is doing this because its hustling young merchants brought in two hundred new subscribers in one month's time, a remarkable showing for the summer season, which is generally the dull period of the year. The boys will sleep in two large tents and in addition they will have a dining tent and a cooking tent. Robert Lyons, who has had considerable experience as a cook aboard ships, will be the boys' chef. Every carrier is impatiently waiting the opening of Chautauqua to enjoy the treat in store for him. Deaths and Funerals. ELLIOTT Mrs. L. S. Elliott, aged 67, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Murray at 216 South Ninth street at 12:30 today. Death is believed to have been caused by apoplexy. The deceased was stricken at 7 this morning at at 7:30 was unconscious, remaining so until the end. Mrs. Elliott is survived by Mrs. W. C. Murray, J. F. Hornaday, and three step-children, Mrs. Dan Laymon and Mrs. Hattie Need, of Spencer, Indiana, and. Harry Elliott of Cuba, Missouri. The funeral services will be held from the home at 216 South Ninth street Monday morning after which the remains will be taken to Spencer, Indiana, for burial. Friends may call at the home to view the remains between the hours of 6even and nine Sunday evening. TWO VACANCIES Charles Graham of the No. 5 hose house has been assigned to duty at the No. 2 department on the hook and ladder truck, and Claude Carter, substitute fireman, has been sent to the No. station to fill Graham's place until the board of works appoints men to fill the two vacancies. This will be undertaken as soon as enough applications for the positions are filed with the board. Very few applications have been received in the last six months.

11 MEETINGS HELD By THE PROGRESSIVES General Sentiment Was for a Full County Ticket. Every Meeting Yesterday Was Well Attended. (Continued from Page One.) nominees be placed on the Progressive ticket. Alonzo Davenport will represent the township on the county central committee. Webster township selected Elijah KJng. Perry selected James Jackson. It is reported that Ed Hunt was selected as committeeman from Ablngton township at a meeting held there yesterday. A COURT VACATION WAS BEGUN TODAY The Wayne circuit court will adjourn Monday evening closing the April term of court, and will not reconvene until the first Monday in Sep tember, when the docket for the October term of court will be prepared. Judge Fox announces that he will hear the argument on the construction of a will coming up on demurrer in the case of Sullivan vs. Sullivan and others. The case was brought to the Wayne circuit court on a change of venue from Union county. Practically all the cases of the April term have been disposed of and as the court has no prosecuting attorney at present it was decided to have a vacation. The next prosecutor is to be appointed by Governor Marshall, and it is understood that Joshua Allen, a prominent attorney of Hagerstown, is slated for the position, although there are several lawyers in Richmond who have applieu for the place. Allen was the Democratic candidate for the office in the last campaign. CONFUSION OVER DATE OF MEETING There seems to be a misunderstanding on the date set for the public meeting to consider the profit sharing clause suggested for the water works proposal.contract. Mayor Zimmerman and Attorney Johnson state the meeting is to be held Tuesday, while a number of those present at the last meeting aver the date was set for Monday night. It has been suggested that council convene at 7 o'clock Monday night, rush through the regular business of the evening, and then attack the proposal contract. The difference in dates will probably be set aright at the meeting of the board of works, Monday. AN ELEPHANT'S CHARGE. The Way It Was Met by a Cool Headed and Nervy Hunter. Dr. Dunbar-Brunton spent some years in Africa as a district medical officer. One of his most thrilling adventures was with a bull elephant. With a friend, who went off on another track, he had been following up the tracks of elephants all day without success, and Just before sundown received word from his comrade that he was going back. Dr. Dunbar-Brunton decided to return also, but before start ing on the homeward track sat down and lighted a pipe. He was smoking j quietly when he heard the noise of his friend's beaters, and a native who carried a gun said, "Look!" A great bull elephant was close npon them. Very quietly the doctor laid down his pipe and took his gun. while the natives scuttled up the trees In terror. The doctor took a quick shot, but Just missed the elephant's brain pan. It threw up its trunk, opened its mouth, put Its tusks forward and charged. A second shot struck In the shoulder, but did not check its onrush. The doctor shot again when It was within a few paces, and, hurtling past him. It fell, with legs outstretched, with a bullet In Its heart. The doctor tnrned to his pipe. It was still alight, and he finished his smoke while th(natives danced round the body of the elephant. Chicago News;

CORN CROP TO BE AH EXCELLENT ONE Its Prospects Have Been Enhanced Considerably in Past Few Weeks. The county commissioners who have just returned from a trip extending in all sections of the county predict that Wayne county will have one of the largest corn crops in many years, unless there is a severe storm or early frost. They state that the corn is of good height; that in nearly every Held the stalks have from two to five ears and in some instances more. The ears seem to be of good size. There is also a larger acreage than in previous years, because of the failure of the wheat crop. Over 500 acres of oats remains to be thrashed out. In Dalton township and near Hagerstown it is reported that the average yield is 70 to 80 bushels per acre, which is unusually large. There is some difference of opinion as to the tomato crop. In some places it is reported to be good, while in others it is said the yield will be a total failure. Just why there Is a poor outlook for the tomato crop is not known. Some say it is the result of too much rain with cool and cloudy weather. The vines are in excellent condition being large and green but with no tomatoes. The canning season, which usually opens about the second week of August, will be delayed until about the last of the month. It is understood that many canneries will not open this season.

WAKES UP SENATE BY BITTW ATTACK La Follette Assails Attitude He Says Ex-President Showed to Trust. WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 17. In a spontaneous outburst during debate of "the" president's wool tariff vote in the senate, Senator La Follette yesterday attacked the new Progressive party, and swore new allegiance to progressive Republicanism. Ignoring the dramatic appeal by Senator La Follette to repass the wool bill the regular Republicans and some Progressives voted to uphold the president's veto. Six Progressive Republicans Bristow, Clapp, Crawford, La Follette. Poindexter and Works Joined the Democrats in support of the motion. Cummins, Kenyon and Borah supported the veto. Earlier in the afternoon the senate in a similar move to pass the steel tariff bill over the presidential disap proval was defeated by a vote of 32 to 39, the division being on Btrict party lines. The "original insurgent." quivering with emotion, with clenched hands and strained face, poured out a flood of impassioned oratory that kept the floor and galleries of the senate rapt and silent Standing in the well of the chamber, Senator La Follette assured his as so-1 elates that he intended to "ken iin the fight in the Republican party to make that party really, progressive," and to "keep on until the last bell rings and the curtain falls." After reviewing briefly the trust record of Colonel Roosevelt, Senator La Follette declared that the former president was "not the man to find the way out now." He asserted that "no obstacle dragged across the path of the progressive movement in the Republican party can now stop its advance." He declared that when the Republican party, through its progressive as sociates, had reached a point where ! it would "respond to the purposes for which It was born, an attempt is made at Chicago to divert it." Senator Stone asked Mr. La Follette whether he meant the nomination of President or the nomination of exPresident Roosevelt. "I am awfully surprised," began Senator La Follette, "that I left the senator from Missouri in doubt. I hope I did not leave doubt in the mind of anyone el6e." Then moving down the center aisle, until his outstretched, shaking hands almost touched the stenographers' tables, he continued: "On the day that Theodore Roosevelt was made president of the United States there were 149 trusts and combinations in the United States. j When he turned this government over I to William Howard Taft there were i 10,020 plants In combination. When ! j he became president the trusts had ! an aggregate capitalization of $3,000,I 000,000 and when he left the presidency they had an aggregate capitalization of $31,000,000,000 and more than ; 70 per cent of it was water. "Their power has gone on growing i and sprealing. There has been no (diminution in the present adminlstraj tion. The present administration has j sought to apply the Sherman antii trust law more vigorously than its i predecessor; but the time to have ap plied the Sherman anti-trust law effectively was in the infancy of these trusts, when there were only 149. "I don't believe that the man who was president for seven years while ;the greatest trust growth occurred, at I the very time of all times in the hlsj tory of the Sherman anti-trust law it j could have been made potential in deterring trust organization I do not think that the man who was president then is the man to find the way out now. Senator Pomerene inquired If Senator La Follette would tell how many of the 10,020 trusts were "good" ones and how many of them "bad." "I have no way to differentiate, returned Senator LaFolIette, "because none of the trusts are my friends. If any of them were supporting my propaganda with large contributions I suppose I would be human enough to call them 'good trusts. They know about the Wisconsin system and they know it is the real 'dope for their business. "So I have no George W. Perkins and no Munsey supporting me. It Is a lone, practically single handed fight I have been" waging for twenty-five years, and Mr. President, I am going to keep on until the bell rings and the curtain falls.

The citizens of this prosperous city have made extensive preparations for the celebration, next week, In commemoration of the defence of New Ulm and Fort Rldgley against the uprising of the Sioux Indians In 1S62, known In history as "The New Ulm Massacre," in which more than 2,000 men, women and children were brutally butchered or tortured to death by the bloodthirsty savages. Today It is exactly fifty years since four young Indians, out for sport and game in the woods near Acton, Meeker County, to prove their courage, shot and killed three men. two women and a young girl, which wanton act precipitated the up rising of the Indians of that locality and the subsequent massacre. The celebration, however, will not begin until tomorrow and will be largely in the nature of a "home-coming" week, to include Sunday, August 25. One of the principal features of the " .J",.
