Edinburgh, Oct. 29.—Tho extra
ordinary precautions that are being
taken by the war department author
ities to maintain the secret of the
aeroplane Invented by Lieutenant
Dunn, now being completed In one of
the wiliest parts of the Scottish
Highlands, make the whole enter
prise ono of the most romantic In
the history of aeronautics.
On a- high plateau, high above
sea-level, a lH»rte encampment ac
commodates forty men. A mile away,
on the other side of a deep Impres
sion, Is the shed, twenty feet high
and sixty feet long, in which the
aeroplane is being built.
A small model has been attested
and approved, but the experts have
now settled down (to tho task of
perfecting a working aeroplane
which may be of use in the next
army mano< over-.
SPYING ON THE SPIES.

Tulli'bardlne Is residing while he
overlooks operations generally, and
directs n largo staff of spy-hunters, is
several mil s jrway. There are no
houses Mt all from which can be
seen either tho encampment or the
shed. The foreign spies and Inquisi
tive strangers, who haunt the dis
trict, have met with so many rebuffs
that thci are becoming desperate.
They are far more spied upon than
spies.
Shepherds with powerful field
glasses occupy every point of van

watch him. If he mentions the w>>rd

It has been intimated to every one

War office authority, also, is not
to be defied. The district Is prac

of things unusual In this country.
Rut there is not the slightest doubt
that this epoch-making discovery, If
it fulfills Whitehall and Aldershot

measures to Insure privacy are fully
justified.
The least an unlucky foreigner
found trespassing near the encamp

he woukl probably spend some

BONAPARTE SUSTAINS
ORGANIZED LABOR
AN!) C'mONGLY SUPPORTS KK
CllTLt GAINED VK7TORIKH
AGAINST CAPITAL.
Washington. Oct. 30.—Attorney
General Bonaparte In the. United
States court today Is defending much
that organized labor gained recently
by strikes and other contests with
capital. On behalf of its agent, Wil
liam Adair, the Southern Railway at
torneys are attacking the constitu
tionality of the Erderman act of
1898, containing the clause making
it criminal for a common carrier in
interstate commerce to discriminate
or threaten to dismiss employes be
cause .they belong to a union. The
road claims that the law invades the
ordinary relations between master
and servant, hitherto supposed to be
within state control. Bonaparte in
his reply to the railroads In contend
ing that the federal government has
a right to protect interstate com
merce and mails against obstruction
by employes and unions, but is pow
erless to restrain the carrier itseJf
from committing acts calculated to
bring about obstructions. The right
of workingmen to form unions can
not be denied, he says, and Bona
parte contends should the Ederman
act be declared unconstitutional the
whole system of government media
tion in Interstate oommerce troubles
would fall through.

EARTHQUAKE AT
LAST LOCATED
WHOLK TOWN WIPED OUT AND
ENTIRE DISTRICT DEPOP
ULATED.
Tashkent, Russian Turk -stan, Oct.
SO.—A landslide probably caused by
the recent earthquake, burled the
whole town of Karatefin In the
northern part of Bokhara. It ia
thought the entire population of the
district, about IS.000, are killed.
The governor and his mother are
thought to be the only survivors.
The earthquake occurred October 20
21. and was registered by Instru
ments all over the world. Only two
escaped being killed In Karategin.
The surrounding country Is moun
tainous and M Is believed the shocks
so loosened the earth that It toppled
onto the town.
The town of Karategin In the
northern portion of Bokhara Is a
small town of some 200 people, but
Is the center of a thickly populated
district. Authorities on the subject
give the population as containing
8,500 people to the square mile,
hence the loss of life may be much
in excess of the 150,000 estimated.
PARDON FOR
MISSOURI FUEOISI
Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 30.—Gov
ernor Folk and Pardon Attorney
Moeby will take up for hearing to
morrow the application for pardon
filed by Dr. Joseph K. Todd, former
member of the legislature and a
prominent Missouri politician, who
is now serving a twelve years' sen
tence in the penitentiary for murder
in the second degree. Dr. Todd was
convicted of slaying Robert T. Wall,
a wealthy citizen of Richards, Vern
on county. The crime was the result
of a feud of twenty years' standing,
and which has been waged with as
| much bitterness and animosity as the
feuds of the Kentucky mountaineers.
Friends of the Wall faction will
make a determined opposition to the
granting of tho pardon, and will be
represented at the hearing by M. T.
January, a Nevada attorney who
prosecuted Dr. Todd. The prisoner,
who Is 63 years of age la broken
In health as a result of conilnement
in the penitentiary, but has been
able, in his professional capacity, to
render valuable assistance to the
prison physician.
Dr. Todd was convicted In Vernon
county, and in March of last year
the supreme court affirmed the sen
tence. He Immediately surrendered
to the marshal of the supreme court
and wag lodged in the penitentiary.
The beginning of the Todd-Wall
feud, which kept the little town of
Richards, In Southwestern Missouri.
In a ferment for many years, Is un
known, but It existed for at least
twenty years. Dr. Todd persistently
refuses to discus* the origin of the
trouble, and Wall, beforo his death,
was equally reticent. It Is rumored
that the 111 feeling between the two
men began with a quarrel over a
woman.
The Immediate cause or the ratal
shooting affray wm the cub tom of
Dr. Todd In panning through a farm
owned hy Wall In order to reach a
farm he owned. Wall Issued orders
that neither Todd nor any member
of his family should pass through
the place, and built a high fence to
keep them out. Dr. Todd tore down
the fence, and once, according to the
testimony, Wall threatened to shoot
him If he parsed through the farm
again. That afternoon Wall and Dr.
Todd met on the street of Rlcharde.
Dr. Todd killed h\- onemy. At the
trial he pleaded self defense, and
evidence wa« adduced showing that
Wall had a revolver In his pocket.
Oth*T evidence, however, was to the
effect that wb^n Wall’s body wan
flrut searched no weapon of any kind
was found.
Feeling against Todd among the
Wall adherents Is still very bttter,
and should he be pardoned and re
turn to his home, It Is feared that
more serious trouble will follow.

Tho main object of last night’s
meeting of the Retail Merchants' As
sociation was to dlscusn the project
of running excursion trains to Blue
tt Id from the coalfields. If posulblc
every Saturday, but anyway, once a
month, somewhere around payday.
It was shown where Keystone has
been granted the same privilege for
»ome years pant, a natural conclu
sion being that the railroad 1b well
satisfied with the reflulta from the
pecial trains. Mr. J. T. Thornton,
in th» chair, expressed hi* determ
ination to push the matter to some
<»U£l'i»lon. Ho naid thv p> had al
ready beep too long a delay and that
the representative committee, com
IK)«ed of Messrs. T. E. Coer, 8. N.
Rangoley, E. 8. Pedigo, with himself
as an ex-offlelo member, must bn
ready with tholr report for tho next
meeting of the association on Tues
day, Novomber 6th. If nweasary,
•he general expression of willingness
>n tho part or the merchants to go
down into tholr pockets to guarantee
no coat or experimenting.
Tho meeting wa» enthusiastic and
n all likelihood the:)" *111 be houin
thing definite placed before next
Tuesday's gathering.
The next subject tak<*n up was oil,
a large representation of retail gro
cers bitterly commented on their In
ability to got oil to supply the needs
of their customers, mAiiy having
been entirely without the commodi
ty for several days. On motion the
president appointed Messrs. Sublette,
Jopling and Yost, a committee to
call on the Standard Oil company
and Induce them to put another tank
on the streets to serve, as at the
present time the Dlueflold tank wag
on Is frequently bent to Pocahontas
and when there the local dealer has
to shift tho best he can.
The proposition brought tip by Mr.
I’odlgo to have a regular closing
*iour but final* action was laid over
till next meeting.
It was now the turn for the South
rn Kxpress company to coine before
tho limelight, a number of speakers
bowing the absolute Inadequacy of
the present service, how all aorta of
merchandize was dumped Into the
same wagdn with perlnhable Roods,
yst 're and fish, In fact the short
rip from the depot was said to bo
accountable for more of the damage
to freight than the long railroad
journey. Finally the meeting de
cided to request the express com
pany to place another two horse
wagon on the streets, so that there
might be a possibility of the houso
:coper getting the goods ordered for
dinner In tlmo for that, repast In
stead of supper, and further that the
extra wagon might after the rush of
delivery bo able to devote a few
hours to tho collection of export
pjukage*. Messrs. Sublette, Ferrell
and ftosenaur were Instructed to
take this matter In hand.
All the foregoing committees were
Infracted to hAve their reports ready
to place before a special meeting 01

chamber of commerce on Tuesday.

PHY ICAL CULTURE

FREE SPKKt'H l-KAGl’K IA)HK
OUT IX Til Kilt FIGHT AGAINST
THK APOSTLES OF PURITY.
New York, Oct. 30.—Despite tho
legal battle waged by the Free
Speech League, of which the well
known physician, l)r. R. B. Foote,
Jr., of this city, Is the head, a Jury
In tho United Staten district court of
New Jersey has returned a verdict
of guilty In the cane against Uornnrr
McFaddon, .the famous apostle of
physical culture. McFaddon was
charged with sending obscene and
Immoral matter through the mnils,
tho charge growing out of the publi
cation In his magazine of u serial
story entitled “Growing to Man
hood." The tale purported to be the
confessions of a young rake, and,
while teaching morality and purity
of life, was admittedly somewhat
Trank In its details. Sentence will
be Imposed on McFaddon In a few
days.
The charge against McFaddon
aroused wide attention, as being a
legal buttle between th'» physicians
and others constituting the Free
Speech League, on the ono side, and
Anthony Comstock and olhY apos
tles of purity on tho other. Tho ad
herents of McFaddon contended that
the cause of real purity demanded
plain speaking on moral questions,
and nought to establish tlielv rights
In tho courts, In which they failed.
It Is thought .that McFaddon will pay
tho tino assessed and allow tho mat
ter to drop.
