IF TRUE THIS ISA MOST PECULIIHHENOMENON While Mark Twain lay dying, on April 21st, at his home at Redding Conn, there was born on the farm of W. F. Walker, near Siesholtzville Pennsylvania, a calf upon whose side appears what is apparently a profile of the great American hu-; morist. The calf is brown and the image of Twain is in white. So far the calf has been seen by 4000 persons, coming from ten states, and all of I them agreed that the figure resem- • bled the great humorist, except a \ lady pianist from Missouri, who saw in the image her favorite composer, Paderewski. When the calf was born the image was immediately noticed by the ' Walker family, for Mrs. Walker was for many years a neighbor of Mark ; Twain, living near his summer • home. They decided that they would not reveal the secret and ■ would wait until somebody else; discovered the remarkable imag§ on the calf’s side. A week or two later some one called at the farm to see Mr. Walk er, and, while in the barnyard, exclaimed: “Do you realize that you have a most wonderful calf? It bears the features of America’s greatest humorist, Mark Twain ” f The news soon spread through the

THE REORGANIZATION OF PARTIES IMMINENT W I In this our republic, there are parties and parties: j Ist parties of class, 2nd, parties of convention. The parties of class are made up of (a) those whose pursuits are car,ried on for accumulation and of (b) those whose pursuits are carried on for livelihood. The parties of convention are of various names of political organizations, the curse of oar country. The lines of class are becoming so positive that shortly will the parties of class supercede and entirely take the place in politics of the parties of convention. Then there will be only two political parties—the party of capital and the party of labor. When that day shall arrive will our people be emancipated, white and black, male and female, and those that toil with hand and brain for their daily bread will govern and those who look only for accumulation will come down from their high estate; for so to speak, all things will be common and distribution will be made automatically to all as they have need. And that time is at hand. Hitherto the cry has been “America has no classes.” And why? It was because labor was enslaved and slaves not counted except as “two-thirds of all other persons" represented in congress and without a vote as are women. There were no wage slaves. All is changed now. The chattel slaves have been freed and given citizenship and by the fundamental law of the nation, given the right to vote, though by state law this right has been nullified quite generally ia the south, and unbearabledndignities are heaped upon the blacks by the ex-sleve masters, Which in time, if not relaxed, will lead to a war of races. Even “Jim Crow” cars have been introduced into Oklahomo. If Indians are placed thus in humiliation, they will “know the reason why.” Poor Lo will brook no insult. And I doubt if the blacks will much longer tamely submit. The whites moving to set up caste in our cauntry, will ere long, learn by experience (the dear school for fools), that ’tis impracticable. The black man will say if the wrong is persisted in: “This is the best time for me to die.” If he despairing, so speak may I not be there to see what will follow.” But he need not despair; for when the party of labor comes upon the stage the black will come into his own. His vote will be counted and Jim Crow cars and burnings at the stake will have place no longer. The toilers, under the stars and stripes are brothece and equals before the law. It is plutocracy that curses America—a curse that must wiped off, a stain that must be obliterated, Yet the toiler is too easily buncoed. He fights with , pillows for weapons. He strikes to ’ be shot down. He fights naked, ! while the rich man is dressed in steel armor. The toiler would have a court of justice settle disputes between himself and his employer—a court of arbitration. But the state gives the employer the sword with which to settle them. The toiler is placed in the same relation to his employer as was the chattel slave. All the armed powers are set on him by law—constabulary, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, police “strike breakers,” (Pinkerton’s thugs), marshals and deputy marshals, the national guard and the United States regulars are arrayed

against him to hold him enslayed or kill him outright—death or slvery his choice. No man that values his life above the inalienable rights of “liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” will ever be other than a slave. The American Indian val- [ uing life less than liberty, never could be enslaved. The toilers of of our country as a class, have hitherto stood apart from politics because they have believed that under Old Glory they would have fair play. But what do the corporations that employ them care for the flag or for human rights or fair play for the workingman or working women. Controling, as they do, the government, the press and the sword, the soulless corporations trample all rights under their feet. But the end of their domination and tyranny is not far off. The American toilers, as those of New Zealand and Australia—and as the working many of England are qbout to do, will go into politics instead of depending on costly and bloody strikes, (not bloody by the fault of the toilers, however), and will become the rulers—as long since they might have been, if false leaders had not prevented their going into politics as in a strike, to win out for themselves.—Leonard Brown. o — - Obituary, James J. Reiliy was born in Catasaquay, Pennsylvania, September, 20, 1872 and died at Wawasee Lake Indiana, September 28th, 1910, aged 38 years and eight days.

INSTALLS FIHEFIGHTINGAPPABATUS The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad lin advantaging of every modern safeguard against fire losses, is preparing to further the safety of all its terminals, piers docks and stations through the installation of up-to-date fire-fighting apparatus. Thr railroad employees are to be more efficiently organized into emergency fire companies and drilled by experts in the art of combating flames. At the larger terminals these emergency companies will be on duty continuously, protecting the property at night as well as during the day. High-pressure pipe line systems will furnish the water supply by means of large pumps in the company’s powerhouses and electric fire alarm signals installed throughout the terminals to notifiy employees of a fire and call them into action. The first terminal on the Baltimore and Ohio to be fully equipped in this way is Locust Point, Baltimore, where a most satfsfactory demonstration was given Wednesday afternoon befare a large party of railroad officials, members of the Baltimore Fire Department and fire insurance underwriters. Immediately upon reaching Locust Point an alarm was sounded from the box adjoining the landing and in less than a minute nearly 100 men, consisting of employes of the yard, had 12 streams of hose playing on an imaginary blaze. After the efficiency «of the I streams had been tested an alarm was sounded from Pier 9. This is the North German Lloyd pier, and the men did not know whether it was uveal fire or a-partef the test, and they lost no time in cutting off j the water from the pipes which > they had been manning and tuning to the scene of the new alarm. At the latter place it was decided to make a test of the system of i long leads of hose. Six streams were put into action, and these were later substituted for four leads of still greater length. The testing was under the supervision of Mr. B. S. Mace, superintendent of the insurance department of the company. He was assisted by Mr. Walter Ancker, superintendent of floating equipment. The terminal at Locust Point has a high pressure pipe line system running along the waterfront yards the water for which is supplied by a newly erected pumping station equipped with two boilers of 250 horsepower each and three pumps with a capacity of 4,750 gallons a minute. The water for the pumps is drawn through a 36-inch main from the harbor. There are 27 reelhouses along the warves, with 18,000 feet of hose. The expenditure in perfecting the fire-fighting facilities at the Locust Point terminals exceeded SIOO,OOO. MICHIGAN LAND FOR SALE. Land in central Michigan is now open for home seekers.

Dwelling Damaged by Fire. At about 2:30 o’clock Saturday morning the dwelling belonging to Ed McClintic in the north part of town was discovered to be on fire. Sherm Lock who lives close to the building discovered the fire and at once dispatched his son Dewey to give the alarm by ringing the fire bell and went himself to fight the fire until other help could arrive. The fire company responded promptly and was soon on the ground and although the fire hadn’t much of a start when first discovered the building was badly damaged before the fire could be gotten out. The trouble w'as, the water pressure was not sufficient to throw the water to any height, or with any force to the parts which were on fire, not having direct pressure from the pumping station. The water for the town’s supply during the low water season is pumped by a steam engine and in case of a fire, before the engine could be steamed up to pump, the building would be burned to the ground. This again reminds the users of city water to be as econcmical as possible after the hour of 5:30 or 6:00 o’clock so that there will be a good supply of water in the stand pipe in case of the The building was insured against fire but had been empty for several weeks, whether this will make the insurance void or not we do not know., It is not known how the fire started but is thought to be of incendiary origin Republican Nominees, The republicans of Turkey Creek township held a caucus at the office of Otis C. Butt Saturday and nominated the following persons. For Justice of Peace, Andrew Strieby, Elias Hinderer and Isaac Kitson.’ For Constable, E. W. Hire, O. L.

While pieparing supper at about 5:30 o’clock she was about to light an oil stove. There was a flash when the match was applied a considerable quantity of oil having leaked about the burner.
