RESULTS TELL THE STORY Brims Press Advertisements Customers. Business men and readers of the dialy evening Press have undoubtedly noticed that the firms who are after business, advertise in these columns. This is because they get results and know that our business is conducted on business principles. The busi ness men have found ont that no com petitor gets an "inside rate" on ad vertising; that we have no space to sell on the "cat rate" plan to one customer and then obarge it up to an "Easy Mark," and none to give away for the sake of saving typesetting. Our patrons realize that we play no favorites, have but one prioe for ad vertising, give every one a square deal and that the Press leads all competitors. On these principles it is a sucoess and all enterprising busi ness men are after a chunk. PATRICK JOY AGENT Has Been With the Northern Pacific Since 1884. Patrick Joy, tbe well known cash ier of the Northern Pacifio at the Lew iston station has assmued the duties of local agent, having recently been appointed to that position. Up to this time W. J. Jordan, former agent and who has been promoted to the position of general agent and iravel Tbe most unique feature of tbe in crease in a saloon licenses was that the matter would not have been dug from the archives had not tbe repre sentatives of the beautinl new Carne gie library building come before the council and urged the need of books; that the city was so far be hind in supplying books that it bad but 17,000 volumes, as compared to 47,000 volumes In tbe Tacoma li brary and 95,000 volumes in tbe Se attle library. In the annual esti mates it bad been learned by the li brary commission that 822,000, or five-eights of a mill, bad been asked as an assessment for library purposes and the council had decided to out down the amount by one-eighth of a mill, or approximately 84000, and this sum to be taken from tbe amount asked for the purohaae of new books. To tbe minds of tbe council it de veloped into a ease of fewer books in the library and a smaller saloon li oense or more books in tbe library and a higher saloon license. The in crease in books won. In behalf of tbe library, J. A. Tor mey, superintendent of oity schools, and Judge George W. Belt, both members of tbe library commissi on. and Mrs. Estella Deffenbangb, city librarian, appeared and spoke Attorneys Robert McFarland and F. L. Bnrgan will leave tomorrow for Wallace to attead tbe September term of district oourt to be held by Jndge W. W. Wood. Mrs. W. D. Rea, of Spokane, the guest of Mrs. J. L. MoOlear. ing freight agent of the eompauy in the Lewiston territory, has been handling the local office work inci dental to his other duties. He will now devote his attention exclusively to the duties of bis new office. Mr. Joy, the new agent, has been with the Northern Pacific since 1884, and for the past eight years has fil led the position of cashier of the office here. F. Bordreault, recently agent for the oompany at Castle Rock, Wash., arrived yesterday to take the position of oashier, made vacant by the promotion of Mr. Joy, says the Lewiston Tribune. Mr. Joy was formerly Northern Paoifio agent in this oity and has many friends among the older resi dents who will be pleased lo learn of his deserved promotion. College Opens Monday.

A majority of the profes sors have arrived and the others have sent word they would be on hand by Monday. The attendance promises to be large. Rev. J.

Dr. Max Dorland was elected physician, vice J. T. Woods, resigned. The lodge is plan ning an elaborate smoker for its next meeting night on Tuesduy evening. NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS Washington, D C., Sept. 7.— Special Correspondence.—The Wash ington correspondent of the New Voik Press, though a week behind this correspondence in giving in formation as to pending cabinet retirement, gives some interesting information as to tbe real reasou for the prospective changes. It is as serted that not one of the cabinet has endorsed the President's selection of Secretary Taft bb his successor and that Secretary Root and Secretary Cortelyon had been led to believe that they would be tbe favored ones and feel that their "relations" with the Executive have undergone a vital change. As the Press should be good republican authority for the feeling in Administration oiroles, this acknowledgment of friction in the president's ofiioial family is a polit ics! fact of great importance aud can not but have a momentous effect on the presidential campaign. It may result in an open branch in the re pnblioan party, or in any event will lead on lukewarm support of who ever is nominated bv tbe dissatisfied factions. This factious! fight for su premacy in tbe republican party is vastly to the advantage of the demo crats and should induce them to unite for sneoess. "As the minority party, the democrats, must show a united front and ' agreement on essen tial issues,'' is the way a very prom inent member of tbe party from New Jersey stated it to me at Atlantic City a few days ago, "or we cannot elect anyone." If we can elect a president there will be a good chance to retain control and in time again impress democratic policies on the country and there will be ample op portunity for the leaders to develop and attempt to satisfy their ambition. "Only one man can be chosen as candidate for president. Whoever be may be" oontinned this democrat, "he must have the eupport ot other leaders, to carry tbe close and doubt ful states." New Jersey doee not yet appear to have settled upon a favorite candidate. Mt. Bryan has many friends, but I notioe in the Philadel phia Record of August 29th that he lias advised friends in that city that be will not be a candidate, because there Is serious opposition to bis nomination. Tbe report, reputed to have been circulated by Judge Camp bell of Ohio, that Jndge Paiker would seek a renominatiou for presi dent has been denied by Judge Parker, and was never believed here by well informed politician*. Judge Parker bad bis opportunity, aud nei ; tber fortune nor circumstances favor ing him and a large number of Mt. Bryan's friends either voting for President Roosevelt or staying at borne, be was signally defeated. It would he folly to repeat such a fiasco for history shows that it is not wise in polities to try and chauge public opinion with regard to candi- 1 dates when there is serious opposition like Judge Parker and Mr. Bryan have, but rather seek someone, wbo both factious cannot refuse to sup- 1 REOPEN DEFUNCT BANK Plans on Foot to Reorganize Portland Institution. Portland, Ore., Sept. 11.—Plans sre on foot to reorganize and reopeu the Oregon Trust aud Savings bank whioh failed here a few weeks ago. The plan is conditioned upon the willingnens of the depositors in the old institution to subscribe stock in proportion to theii deposits in the old bank and also to subscribe for the Home Telephone bonds, which form a material portion of the old bank's assets. It is stated that sub scription lists which have been circu lated for the last few days have been signed by many of the depositors, and this, with the fact that President Moore's friends In eastern Oregon have subscribed 1150,000 for tbe new venture, leads to tbe general belief that tbe effort to reorganize will be successful. This plan is to retain both Mr. Moore as president and W. Cooper Morris as cashier, both men having devoted their personal fortunes to the liquidation of the present institu tion's indebtedness. Reward. Fifty dollars reward will be given for information leading to arrest aud conviction of party or parties, out tiug plate glass windows of the Idaho Mercantile oompany. p. f. McGovern Chief of Polioe. port. Who tbe candidate will be is yet in the womb of the futnre aud wisdom points to someone being se lected who instead of antagonizing anyone on aaccountof previous polit ical aotlou, lias so little record that no one oan object to him. He most, of course, fill the democratic require rnents of houasty aud ability. The demoorats have so much the best of the Issues in tbe oomiug presidential campaign, that now, reinforced as they are, by republican divisions, disagieemauts on the tariff, the oou trol of trusts, railroad rate regula tion, home rule or state rights, aud in fact all the issues that are likely to be prominent, it would be an uu pardonable siu for the |>ersonal for tunes of any man to be made to stand in the way of success. PATHOS OF REAL LIFE "Over the Hills to the Poor house." Spokane. Wash., Sept. 10.—Whet: I'at ml man Nick Warner led'the tot tering and enfeebled from of AI Summers into polioe headquarters Monday evening, a farmer prosperous saloon keeper of Spokane took his initial steps toward the county poor farm at Spangle. An order had been given tbe policeman to bring Sum mets in, and Warner found him on his way to the cheap lodging house on Frot t avenue where lie has recent ly been accustomed to turn in. Between the years ot 1884 and 1887 A1 Summers aud Cal Dunoan ran the Pantheon on Howard street, near where the Palm now Is located. It was tbe most palatial bar of wbicb tbe drinkers of Spokane boasted in tbe years mentioned. Tbe place coined money. A1 Summers was one of tbe most popniar men in town, in fact, in a voting contest carried on at one of the fairs of tbe day he was voted the moot popular dispenser of drinks in tbe city. in 1887 Summers left town aud no one heard of him until about ttiree years ago, when he returned, a mere wreck of his former manhood. He was not inclined to talk of his affaire, but it was understood by those wbo were once familiar with him that family troubles caused ibe tremendous change in the once hand some and energetic man. He drank, ot course, but waa never arrested for drunkenness. Indeed, be seldom drank to excess. No one knew bow he came by tbe little money he paaned over tbe bars. He ever seemed to be living elsewhere, and the ex preasion on bis face indicated deep abstraction. He was often pointed out as "once the handsomest and most popular man in town." He haa been growing physically feebler during tbe past few moDtbs, until the police took him in last night. goes to tbe institution at Spangle today.

JAPANESE PASSUP VANCOUVER RIOT Will Not Demand an Apology Says Ishii Beattie, Wash., Hept. 1—A special to the Post-Intelligencer from Van couver, B. C., saying that. Japan does ont intend to make an Interna tional affair of the Japanese riots which have occurred in Vancouver, beeatne known last night when In an interview, K. Ishii, chief of the bur eau of foreigu commerce, stated : "I have received oable dispatches from the Japanese government at Tokio to the effect that Japan will not make an international inuideut of the riots of the past tew days. "The relations between Japan and Great Britlau are too olose aud too friendly to be destroyed by this Inci dent. "Of course the resident Japanese of Vanocouver will demand payment tor damages, but as far as the govern ment of Japan is concerned there will be no official representation." Ishii leaves today for Ottawa aud Is of the belief that fuither rioting in Vancouver will not occur. The situation is being handled diplomat ically. The Chinese and Japanese strike, whioh went into effect yesterday morning was called off yesterday afternoon, and the Chineee and Jap anese will go hack to woik toiuorow morning. In contrast with this, the white labor unions are debating to night whether to oali a general strike tomorrow morning In all places where both wblte labor and orientals ate employed. Vancouver and all other cities of British Columbia are facing what may become the greatest strike in the history of western Canada. Interstate Fair Plans. Coeur d'Alene day at the Interstate fair will be well attended this year. Already steps have been taken to al low the public school children to huve a portion of the day off In order to visit the fair. Those in charge of tbe Michigan olub have accepted the offer of Mgr. Uiosgrnve whereby tile club procures comfortable quar ters with a seating capacity of 1200 people- It is also elaimed other cit izens or clubs, formerly residents of other states will be represented Bt Un fair. Schools Progressing. The schools are progressing nicely. The Bryan, Central and Roosevelt buildings are crowded to their utmost capacity. Bherman and Lakeview buildings have been a source cf much relief in removiug the congested con FREE DELIVERY SOON It ia expected action will be taken in the near future looking toward free delivery for Coeur d'Alene, Senator W. B. Hebyuru lias written beerty recommendation to tbe depart ment urging that action betaken once. A reply has been received in hiob It Is aeid bis wishes will be fully complied with, at au early date It is planned to have free delivery throughout the entire corporate lint Its of tbe oity. This means there must be there carriers in order that the mail may be distributed once a day throughout the residence portion and twice a day in the business sec tion. Tbe revenues collected through tbe postoffice in the oity will fully allow the three carriers. An effort also in progress whereby Coeur d'Alene may secure three mails a day from Spokane This will necesistale tbe letting of a new contract which is thought to be entirely feasible. Heretofore, all mail coming from Wallace to Coetir d'Alene required two days inasmuch as it was sent via T»koa, Washington. While Senator Hey burn was here, he sew the iuoon enience of such service and bad it cor rected bv causing a through pouch to be put on between tbe two points. Now mail from Wallace will reach Coeur d'Alene the same say that it is mailed, in other words it will coup on tbe same train and boat with passengers. W. Carver is constructing building to be used as a Msh and door factory. It is located on dltion of tbe Central school whioh was so crowded last winter. Over 400 puplle are enrolled this year that have never attended school here be fore. Over 1100 ere enrolled. The lleutter school, which haa enrolled 47 pupils in eight different grades, will be relieved by the board of trustees arranging additional apeoe. Tbe children are being brought aoroes the river In boats by tbe residents. This will continue until the bridge le completed whioh will be hurried as rapidly as possible. Those who enter tbe subprimary da* partment must do so before nest Fri day unless they have previously at tended. Warden Kincaid Qulta. Olypmia, Wash., Sept 11. —M. F.

WANTS BIG FINE SUSPENDED Standard Oil Thinks $1,000,000 Bond Is Sufficient. Chicago, Sept. 11.—The Standard Oil eompauy of Indiana yesterday applied to the United States circuit court for a writ of supersedeas, sus pend log the operation of tbe reoent decision tendered by Judge Land!* In the United States district oonrt In which the penalty assented against the company was 829,000,000. Judge Groeacup, before whom the application was made, doolined to take actiou until he had heard argu ments from the .attorneys on both sides. The arguments consumed the greater part of tbe day. The government attorneys insisted the supersedeas bond, If a writ of er ror was granted, should be aa large ae the flue agaicst the company. The attorneys for tbe oompany ar gued for a bond of 81,000,000 Judge Urosaoup, while not specify ing the amount of tbe bond, declared that he thought It should be equal at least to the total value of the Stan dard Oil company of Indiana.
