SOCIALISTS VENT WRATH ON COLONEL Fear of Progressives Shown by Bombardment Directed on Them by Socialist Campaign Opening. (Continued from Pace One.) party they would receive seventy-five percent of the votes and be elected." Warren's Accusations. Fred D. Warren, after being introduced by C. W. Lynn, secretary of the county central committee, said: "There is just one issue involved in this campaign, and that is your income. No matter how much dust Teddy raises to cloud the issue, there is but one issue and that is dollars. The Socialist party proposes to put more dollars in the pockets of the laboring wan. The speaker then reviewed the poli tical condition of the period between 1S50 and 1860, claiming that there is a striking similarity with present conditions. "As the old slave system was dying out, the changing economic conditions caused a change in the political structure. The old Bourbon Democracy could not meet the new Issue, as It was responsible for the economic conditions that provoked the political disturbance. The Republican party was organized to solve the problem. This party has always stood consistently fdr one principle, and that is capitalism. It has advocated capitalism to this day. The Democratic party has been a corpse since the civil war. You can analyze the Democratic platforms from 1860 to the monstrosity born at Baltimore without discovering a live issue. , Roosevelt Helps Socialism. "We are in the midst of changing conditions. The old parties have seen their day. Socialism is In the fleld with new hope. Politicians see the coming light so they have dragged out the distinguished gentleman from Oyster Bay to help them. "The rank and file of the men in the Progressive party want to see better conditions. The Progressives are started and they will land in the Socialist party. And so we welcome Roosevelt, for what he is sowing this year we will reap four years hence. He has 'busted the Republican party. I hope he is elected. We cannot elect our man, but Teddy is paving the way for our elevation to political supremacy. "Wo are Roosevelt's backers? Munsey, Perkins, McCormick. Why? Because they hope to disrupt the Socialist party with the aid of that distinguished gentleman. Reviews Roosevelt's Career. Warren then began an arraignment of Roosevelt's career, beginning with his services as police commissioner of New York. Warren alleged that Rooseelt, while police commissioner, tried 1o patent a policeman's club that had sixteen hidden spikes in the end that cracked over the heads of laboring men. The club, Warren said, was shown Roosevelt by the policeman who" had planned it and Roosevelt at cuce applied for letters of patent. Warren claimed the patent office refused to Issue a patent on the club on the grounds that the instrument was barbarous. "During Roosevelt's administration at Washington," continued Warren, "two men were convicted for counterfeiting old Confederate bills. They were sent to the penitentiary. One man appealed to the supreme court, and that body declared the law under which they were convicted unconstitutional. Roosevelt was asked to pardon the men, but he refused." Warren accused Roosevelt of affixing his signature as governor of New York to the bill that legalized the notorious 'Alton steal, by which Haniman defrauded the savings banks of the people of many millions. Warren eTered $5,000 reward to the man who would prove that Roosevelt did not eign the bill. The speaker analyzed the Progressive platform, paying much attention to the recall of the judicial decisions advocated by Roosevelt. Warren averred that Roosevelt would not attack the Supreme Court, the - seat of trouble, an institution. Warren said, Hthat In its history has not banded

down one decision in favor of the common people. The speaker then outlined the method by which the Socialists would increase the personnel of the supreme court to nineteen members and thereby bring about reforms.

Parker of Hartford said: "In 1S76, according to my memorandum, a notable spelling match took place at the Asylum Hill Congregational church, in which some thirty persons, under their respective captains, took part. - Among these contestants were Dr. Burton. Judge Carpenter, Charles E. Perkins, Mr. Clemens. Mr. Twichell. Charles H. Clark. General Hawley, Miss Trumbull. Miss Blytbe, Miss Burbank and Miss Stone. At last there were left standing only Dr. Burton and Miss Stone, and the gallant doctor took the first opportunity to make an error and so to leave Miss Stone the winner. "But this notable contest was preceded by a preliminary speech in which Mr. Clemens wittily criticised the supposed necessity of having any uniform and arbitrary way of spelling words. Among several amusing illustrations of his argument was one as follows: 'I have a correspondent whose letters are always a refreshment to me, there is such a breezy, unfettered originality about his orthography. He always spells Kow with a large K. Now. that is just as good as to spell It in the conventional way with a small one! It is better, for It suggests to the mind a new, grand and Impressive creature.' "Nevertheless, in the contest that ensued Mr. Clemens produced no 'superb effects of varigated spelling,' but stood op among the fast five. If my record Is right, only Mr. Clark. Miss Keep. Dr. Burton and Miss Stone outlasting him."

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

WIN ONE AND TIE THE SECOND GAME Richmond Made Good Showing Against Negro Pluto Team, Sunday. JACK THOMAS. One clean win and one game which darkness mercifully prevented Richmond from losing, were the results of the double header yesterday with the Plutos from French Lick. The first game resulted in a 6-2 score for Richmond, and the second in a nine inning 2 to 2 tie, called on account of darkness. Betts struck out ten men in the first game, pitching masterful ball. He had clean support. The negroes made their two runs in the third inning, McLaughlin clearing a high one to left field for three sacks, scoring two men, but was out himself trying to steal home afterwards. This was the only scoring for them in the first game although they were on bases several times. Four hits and some boneheaded playing by the Plutos resulted In the locals getting three runs in the sixth inning, but in the seventh a triple and a single failed to produce a score, Powell tripled and tried to come home on Martin's safe bunt, but was out at home. Martin tried to stretch the bunt into a two bagger and was out at second. Three more runs were added in the eighth by the locals, Stupp scoring on a three bagger and a wild throw. Hits by Betts and Turner aided by the visitors' errors netted the two other tallies. Richmond played air tight, and without an error. The Second Game. In the second game the Plutos got a run in the third on two successive hots after two were down. In the eighth they got their other run on a three bagger followed by a neat single. It might have been worse. Boll threw wild to Becond to catch a man stealing, and the runner was home but ' cut third base and was called out. In the ninth Stupp made a wild throw to first, allowing men to get on second and third, but nailed the next man and retired the side. Richmond fluked a run in the fifth, Martin walking, and scoring on a pop fly which Feldhaus knocked out, and which the right fielder dropped. The other run was made in a peculiar manner. Feldhaus walked and was advanced to second, and then third. Boll came to bat and the pitcher made a balk, after Feldhaus had almost stolen home. The umpire called Feldhaus safe, and the Plutos put on their clothing and 6tarted home. Sounds of wordy conflict rent the air, and finally they came back and played again. Boll was out third base to first. Gillian, the pitcher for the negroes in the last game, was hard to handle, and had he been given support, would have defeated the locals. Vordenberg pitched well after he walked the first man up, his usual style. Gillian struck out seven and Vordenberg nine. Scores of the two games:

MOTION OF THE EARTH. It May Easily Be Demonstrated by a Simple Method, It is quite possible to prove thatvthe earth revolTes on its axis by a simple experiment and without having recourse to mathematics. Take a good Sized bowl, fill it nearly full of water and place it upon the floor of a room which is not exposed to shaking or jarring from the street Sprinkle over the surface of the water a coating of l.rcopodium powder, a white substance which can be bought at almost any drug store. Then upon the surface of this coating of powder make with , powdered charcoal a straight black line. say. an inch or two inches in length and lying north and south. Having made this little black mark with the charcoal powder on the surface of the contents of the bowl, lay down upon the floor a stick or some other straight object so that it shall be exactly parallel with the mark. Leave the bowl undisturbed for a few hours and then notice the position of the black mark with reference to the object that it was parallel with. It will be found to have shifted its direction and to have moved from east to west that is to say. in a direction opposite to that of the movement of the earth on its axis. The enrth in simply revolving has carried the water and everything else In the bowl around with it but the powder on the surface has been left behind a little. The line will always be found to have moved from east to west which is good proof that everything else has moved the other way. Love Letters of a Husband. "Dear Jane Arrived here with morning O.K.

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 16,

Bring Mrs. D. RAILROAD OFFICIALS J, J. HILL Seventy-fourth Birthday An-; A. 1 ! niversary is oeieDraiea with Much Eclat. (National News Association) ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 16. Seldom if ever before in her history has St. Paul entertained at one time so many noted figures from the world of finance, industry and railroads as gathered here today to attend the complimentary banquet to James J. Hill, the president of the Great Northern Railway. The banquet marks the seventyfourth birthday anniversary of Mr. Hill and his retirement from the active management of the affairs of the great railroad system with which he has gridironed the Northwest and which has been perhaps the leading factor In the development of the northern coun try stretching from the Twin Cities to the Pacific coast. James J. Hill was born on a farm near Guelph, Ont.. Sept. 16, 1838, of Scotch-Irleh parents. His father's death when he was 14 years of age made it necessary for him to go to work as a clerk in the village store, where, it is said, his first wage was but $1 a week. In 1S56 he set out for California, but within the year found himself on the steamboat docks at St. Paul, where he obtained employment as a shipping clerk. He thus became identified upon his first arrival in the Northwest with transportation there, and he also from the first manifested the keenest interest in all that pertained to commerce and agriculture. After serving two years as general manager, Mr. Hill became president of the St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway in 1883 and continued as such until 1891. He was chosen president of the Great Northern Railway, Sept. 11, 18S9. In 1907 he gave up the presidency and became chairman of the board of directors. Last June he severed the last link connecting him with active railroad work by retiring from his position as head of the board of directors of the Great Northern. DYNAMITE AS IT EXPLODES. It Follows, as Lightning Does, the Line of Least Resistance. It Is the popular impression that dynamite seeks the line of greatest resistance. Place a quantity of black powder on a rock and light it with a fuse. It will flash, simply scorching the stone. Place a piece of dynamite on the same rock, and the rock will be shattered: hence the reasoning that dynamite follows the line of greatest resistance. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. The black powder takes fire and explodes much more slowly than the dynamite, so that tbe elastic air that Incloses it as it does everything, gives way gradually and the force Is lost In tbe atmosphere. With dynamite the explosion has beeu so sudden, the attack on the air so instantaneous, that for a fraction of a second it actually resists. The force of the dynamite is so tremendous that It cannot wait, and it Is turned Into the rock, which for the instant becomes tbe line of least resistance. An Illustration of this may be seen during a display of lightning. A fork of it strikes across the sky. It packs tbe air so densely that it can no longer make rapid progress In that direction, and it turns aside to follow the line of least resistance. It cannot wait for the air to yield. It is the same with dynamite. Harper Weekly. The Hazel Tree. A curious survival of the days when tbe magicians of Europe sought inde.fatigably for tbe philosopher's stone is tbe superstition that attaches to tbe bazel tree. The old alchemists used to make their divining rods out of bazel twigs, and they fostered the belief that It would mysteriously direct Its owner to bidden treasures if it was manipulated with tbe absolute faith that was required in all those occult enchantments of the middle ages. As time went on the "rod of Jacob. as a branch of hazel was universally known, gathered new powers. Not only would It lead to the discovery of buried boards, but It would also set as ma infallible agent In locatinr runaway servants and escaped criminals. It was a sure guide to underground springs as we-l and vn an unfailing charm against tbe lightning.

GRAND JURY WILL MEET AVEDNESDAY The grand jury, which was to convene tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, will not meet at that time. Sheriff Steen this morning notified the members of the venire that they were not to meet until Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The witnesses who were subpoenaed for Tuesday will appear before the grand jury Wednesday and those subpoenaed for Wednesday will report Thursday. In addition to the Saunders murder case, the Lewis assault case and the Stegall arson case, the grand jury probably will take up several seining charges. SHOWED HIS CONTEMPT. ' The Performance Was Costly, but It Relieved His Feelings. At Dussaux's restaurant. In the Grand Morskol at St Petersburg, six officers of the Imperial Horse guards sat drinking champagne. Not far from them sat an insignificant little man with a shabby coat and an unkempt beard and a glass of liquor in front of him. It was not long before he became aware that he was being ridiculed by the officers aforesaid. By and by, as they became more and more offensive in their remarks on his personal appearance, etc.. be called for the waiter and said. "Bring me six bottles of your best champagne." The waiter hesitated. "Did you not bear what I said?" asked tbe little man. The waiter brought the wine and six glasses. "Take these glasses away and fetch a basin, one as large as yon can find." The waiter again hesitated, but obeyed instantly at the peremptory repetition of the order. "A piece of soap," was the next order. It was brought "A towel." The waiter handed him one. "Now open the bottles. The waiter did so. The little man now filled tbe basin with the contents of the six bottles, rolled up his sleeves, washed himself in tbe costly fluid, wiped his bands, laid a hundred ruble note on the table and. casting a look of withering contempt on the officers, strutted out of the room. Argonaut THE MOON AS WE SEE IT. Its Mountains and Craters and Its Lights and Shadows. Tbe visible part of the moon is about equal to the superficies of North America. It is.very mountainous, and around the vast dry plains which form tbe dark spots seen with tbe naked eye are volcanoes whose funnel shaped craters resemble old weCs filled in by the deposits of ages. Maps of tbe moon show more than 33.000 such craters, some of them 200 kilometers in diameter. Tbe radius of tbe earth is supposed to be nearly four times that of the moon. Proportionally tbe moon Is much more mountainous than the earth. All tbe lunar volcanoes are extinct Tbe moon was formed after tbe earth was formed. It has gone to Its doom faster than the earth because, as Its mass is much feebler than tbe earth's mass. It cooled faster. The moon's light and shade are clearly seen because It has no appreciable atmosphere. Tbe moon has been called the "pantheon of astronomers" because Its volcanoes have been named for astronomers. Riccioli gave his own name to a splendid lunar "circus." and to a very small and insignificant volcano be gave the name of Galileo. Harper's Weekly. David Garrick's Ways.

(National News Association) CHICAGO. Sept 16. Eight dead seamen, victims of a sailing accident near the U. S. naval station at Lake Bluff, have been recovered from the lake up to noon today, when the inquest was begun. Three others are missing. Among the dead is the body of W. E. Negus, gunner's mate, the patty officer in charge of the craft, which was capsized in a heavy sea with twenty-five men aboard Sunday afternoon.

Beardstown, I1L Officers at the naval station believed the three missing men drowned. Two Investigations. There will be two investigations of the tragedy. One will be an inquest to determine the manner of death and make a formal report The 'other Inquiry will be made by a naval board of Inquiry. The reports will be sent to the secretary of the navy at Washington. The entire matter will be in the bands of the government The accident occurred after the boat had been rowed some distance into the lake. A northwest wind sprang up and Negus turned and strove vainly to reach the shore. The wind freshened to a gale and the inexperienced lads became seasick and practically helpless at the oars. Negus tried to reach the training station, but driven before the gale changed his course to reach the lake bluff pier. Three hundred feet from shore he threw out an anchor hoping to hold the boat off the beach where the waves were carrying it It capsized and the crew tumbled into the water. Many of the boys could not swim. AN OBLIGING JUDGE. He Wee Eager to D the Right Thing and Suit the Prisoner. Baron Martin, a famous English Jurist of tbe old school, whose native leniency and sense of fun often placed b!m at tbe mercy of the very men he was trying, was once about to sentence an old offender charged with a petty theft according to Lord Brampton's reminiscences. "Look." said tbe baron, with an assumption of severity; "lhardly know what to do, but yon can tak six months." "I can't take that my lord; It's too much." said the prisoner respectfully, but firmly. "I ' can't take It Your lordship sees I didn't steal very much, after alLTbe baron Indulged In one of bis low. chuckling laughs before replying. "Well, thats vera truel Te didn't steal much." be said. "Well. then, je can tak four months. Will that dofour months f "Nay. my lord, but 1 can't take that, neither." was the reply. "Then tak three. "That's nearer tbe mark, my lord. tbe prisoner said approvingly. "But I'd rather you made It two. If you wOl be so kind." "Vera well, then, tak two.- said the jude. with tbe air of one woo ts pleased to have done tbe right thin at last "And, mind, don't come again. If yon do I'll give ye wen. It all depends!" A Fergetten Diamewd.
