"The bull does not get a fair chance," was the rea son which General Funston gave for prohibiting bull fighting In Vera Cruz. It's a thoroughly good American rea son. Here's an instance of how Amer icans here agree with the fair fight ing little brigadier from Kansas: As soon as bull fighting ceased a quick-brained, money-mad) little Span iard, who runs a theatre in a big frame building here dug up a mov ing picture film which had been taken at the height of the season in the great bull ring at Madrid. Five of the greatest bull fighters in the world Pastor and Gaona, Mexican idols, included wore shown killing one bull each. Each bull in turn was shown on the screen in the act of killing six or eight splendid horses. The many Americans in the audience, on the first night, were sickened with disgust. The Spanish and Mexican trick of permitting a bull to toss a heavy horse about on its horns, un til it is tired out, "was soon spotted by the American beholders. They saw that each "valiant" matador, just before the final thrust, was facing not a "wild ferocious bull but a pitifully exhausted and weak wreck that could harm no one. They re alized in full, what Funston meant when he said, "The bull hasn't chance." The film showed the sixth bull en tering the ring, to be faced by the rrcat Spanish fighter Fuentes. And, all of a sudden, the picture 'stopped several printed lines were thrown on the screen, explaining that the next view would show how Fuentes had been terribly injured by the bull. An odd murmur ran through the audi ence. It was pay night and many soldiers were in the crowd. The pic ture was resumed. The bull ap--'oached the matador; the matador slipped; and the bull caught him, in 'he stomach with his horns; it ran about the ring, shaking ' the "hero" like a rag. Someone in the rear clrppcd. Someone near him joined him. In a minute the clapping was peneral. There were fifty cheers. The picture whirled along; Fuentes. was shown being flung through the air, a senseless heap; a dozen "val iant" bull fighters were shown rush ing for the fence with the bull after them, like a summer girl fleeing from a cow. The cheering became wild. Suddenly a soldier grabbed a Mex ican by the nnp of the neck, stood him vi his feet and then knocked him (town. "The son of a gun was hissing the bull," he explained to a comrade a.s the lights went on. Hugs Sell Store. LIFE OF A SIBERIAN EXILE. Elgin, July 1. After a successful business career in Elgin that extends uvcr a period of more than 15 years, leading from a small picture gallery to one of the best general stores in the county, Hug Brothers hnve retire 1 and will from now on devote their time to their interest outsiifc of merchandising. One Political Offender Who Live In ' Comparative Luxury. Dow a political exile lives In Siberia la shown lu M. K. 1'rh-p'n hook "Si beria." Mr. Trice encountered tills ex ile at Minusinsk, lie tinil III family lived In a large lii'iixe. mid his actual punishment seenis to consist of a cer tulu social ostracism, runxeiiueut upon banishment from tile went centers of Ilussluu life. "When I went to cull upon htm bo came to the door himself and. showing me lu through a room where be and his wife hud been having their even lug meal, ushered tue Into a room be yond. I noticed his culm, philosophical face wus Unit of a man who bud evi dently endured mental strain wltb stol cal fortitude, but bis wife, more nerv ous tbuu be, showed signs of former anxiety. It seemed strange Indeed that 1 should be sitting lu company wltb two members of high Russian society, now .'istruci.ed by exile to Siberia, and stranger still to partake of their intel ligent conversation on topics of human Interest. "First of ull I wus Interested to know whnt sort of restrictions were placed upon the exile's liberty. I found that he was not allowed to leave the dis trict In which be resided and that ev ery week be bud to sign his name In a book kept at the bouse of the chief 'nacballnk.' With that exception his life wus free. He hud money, and be could live us be liked and go where be wished within that district, but he was continually watched by spies, who dogged his footsteps wherever he went "He related to me bow be bad ac quired gold concessions on the Mon golluu frontier and was hoping to find capital to flout a syndicate for working them next year. This was not at all my Idea of the lire of a Siberian exile. Instead of being made to work him self In the gulleries of the gold mines till death released him from his chains, the exile now floats mining syndicates." INFINITUDE OF SUNS.

These have not been actually counted, but plateB secured by exposure in telecuuierus to typical regions of tbe sky have, and tbe entire number bus been subjected to the cal culus of probabilities, resulting In the general number of 100,000,000 colossal suns. These have been weighed that Is, their combined force of gravitational attraction bus been computed. This led to one of the most overwhelming discoveries namely, this entire pull of attractions of tbe quantity of matter In 100,000.000 sous as massive as our own sun could not even begin to im part the high specific speeds of several well known "runaway" suns. These are dashing through what has been nnmcd space with velocities so much greater than all other suns that they are a class by themselves. Our sun contains 3;'.3.4Uli times more mutter than is In tbe earth, and this multiplied by 100.000,000 reveals tbe quantity of matter known to exist, be yond all human Imagination. But this Immense mass may almost be Ignrired as a mere fraction in comparison wltb the gigantic quantity necessary to Im part a velocity of from 100 to 200 miles per second to these suns Hying athwart the sidereal universe. Let the number of these suns or dark bodies run up to trillions or octillions, tbeu the entire quantity of matter in all of them would be less than the weight of one grain of sand If com pared to an Inllnite quantity of matter. -Edgar Lucleu I.arklu in New York American. How Not to Drown. A person who has not learned to swim, who falls Into water, really drowns himself because be struggles to climb out. Should he keep cool and Immerse his body, excepting his nos trils, he could float until help reached him. No one drowns with his nos trils above the surface and his month closed. By many experiments It was ascertained years ago that a tlsh not a mammal will live ten or twelve days out of the water If Its gills are kept thoroughly wetted, and a man or woman with nostrils above the sur face will not drown.

OLD BALLOT FOUND. " (Continued from Page 1.) 1889. It is impossible to determine with any certainty the dates when these ballots were used. The names appearing on this ticket will undoubtedly recall pioneer days to the minds of many old residents of La Grande, when a mere village in comparison with the metropolitan ap pearance of the La Grande of today. Its municipal problems were just as much a problem then as now, and it is possible that at times the commis sion form of government was con templated. Jos.
