Roosevelt prove that the treasurer of the demo cratic national committee' was ever connected with the Standard Oil Co. President Roosevelt was "not slow In filing his reply. All he had to do was to go to the court records, which were plma facie evidence, showing that Governor Haskell td be an attornov of record, in a Standard Oil case. Mr. JJryan seems to be rather slow. There hfve been precedents - .without num ber where the president has been asked t show authority for making certain statements, and the authority, as In this' Instance, has always been forth coming. Bryan Is not In the Roosevelt class by any means, and the less he has to do In attacking any statement President Roosevelt may make, the bftter he will be off. . The committee of general arrange ments who have been' responsible for te success' of the aster show, will be hippy ,when it Is all over. Pew, un ites they have served on such public rmmlttees realise the labor that is connected In such matters. ; The la dfetjn this Instance, however, have every reason to feel amply repaid for their labors, as nothing but words of praUe and commendation have been ' spoken during the entire day. This Is t& second attempt of this nature and oih have been such universal suc cesses, that Aster day In La Grande will surely become a permanent feat ure, and one always looked forward e with pleasure and delight. ' . I 'ur boosters who met the morning train to Interview the homeseekers who are now coming In by the traln load to this, coast, felt they were a lit tle handicapped owing to their inabil ity to take a few of the most-prominent looking ones out and give them a high ball, because o fthe local option Jaw. They made' good, however, and handed them all a snowball. ' ' ; The presidential campaign In the .east Is actually warming up.' Some heretofore prominent men are having the starch taken out of their political aspirations. The people are beginning to recognize clean men, and are de manding such as their political lead er. ' . . v " - Portland Is to be a close dtown, says the district attorney.' There Sr. no question but what that officer has the power to ninko It such. It remains to be seen whether or not he moans It, If he does, Portland will be closed. The county fair opens netx Wednes day morning. The admission will be free.' see' (O0KE GAME IS REVIVED J aooke game revived, nn 1 Where are the !S victims of Cooke the hlgh-hunded, wholesale king ol JsndgrabbersT That Is the question that Is of public Interest In La Grande today on account of the fact that the .21 victims of that artist who was ar rested In llaker City, and la now In JMew Torn jail awaiting trial by ASTER SHOW IS BEAUTIFUL icderal court, were due to make proot in the United Si.-Ucs land office'- here yesterday and today,--- but tht.s i far nuiiu have liitiue t.ci." fe..p.-u;&iiLt;. it hup;)p;!fj that iho tnre. sto;:p has lout faUh in their leader,'.

The proofs were made, all tight, and the party returned 't-i I'aktr city' v under the guidance of Cooke. The latter .was" arrested soon' efter by aV office of the federal court, but for a long time their faith-in Cooke remained loyal, they r them. The fact that not a single one of the 2S have appeared here In the city to make proof Is evidence that the scales have fallen from the eyes of the victims and that the ment has lost no claims through the manipulations of Cooke. Mathews, the understudy of the king himself, was also arrested, but he Is out on ba'l. Cooke has no friends in all New Tork, and he Is In jail, evidently turning over In his fertile brain some way of dodg ing sentence on the charge of which he will undoubtedly be convicted. ARE (IIWD An error has beenjnade in the an nouncement of the commencing time of the county fair. September 28th! has been the date heretofore adver tised by the of fllcals, but aa ' error was thus made. The fair commences next Wednesday morning and will con tinue until Saturday evening. Arrangements n're being made' by the directors and officers to have everything In place by the time "of the opening, and with the proper co-oner- ation of the farmers and horticultural clement, the first annual fair of the present organization can be ' made a real fa'lr of reaj worth.

The doors were thrown open this af ternoon from 2 o'clock until S o'clock. and a constant throne- t i-i.it. poured In and out. They were not prepared for this sea of beauty and as soon as they viewed the long rows of tables each and every one looking like a prUe winner the next thouaht was, "I must see that Mrs. So-and-So comes out this evening. I know that she little realize what Is In store for her." It must not be taken for granted that only Indies visited the show a great many gentlemen found time to cull, and they enjoyed It fully as well as did the fairer i During the afternoon reception there were a number of vocal and Instru- mental selections and this evening there will be a musical program ren dered.
