BULL MOOSE IN N. Y.
I
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Sept 6. Oscar
S. Straus, the New York millionaire
merchant, was this afternoon nomin
ated for governor of New York state
by the Progressive convention here.
The delegates stampeded to Straus as
a compromise candidate just when the
vote was about to be taken.
Timothy Woodruff withdrew the
name of William R. Prendergast, and
Straus' nomination was made unani
mous. State Chairman William Hotch
kiss had also been placed in nomina
tion, ' despite his personal objection.
Straus, a famous philanthropist and
diplomat was nominated by acclama
tion.' The convention stampeded to
Straus after it developed that the
friction exisiting between' the friends
of Prendergast and Hotchkiss was so
bitter that iti might be carried into
the campaign.
Progressive leaders assert that the
nominaion of Straus means certain
victory for their party in New York.
FOR THE BORDERED MUSLIN
A bordered muslin frock has been
selected for today's fashion hint. This
is cut on a style which is almost uni
versally becoming, most especially to
slight figures. The border has been
cut to form bretelles and the front of
the bodice is crossed by a broad band
of lace. The heck is filled by a tuck
er of batiste. There is a short sleeve
of the bordered material and an under
sleeve of lace. - The skirt : is made
with a short tunic with the woven bor
der on the bottom, the underskirt fin
ished with a narrower band of the
plain colored border and a band of
lace above. -
SPOUSES ARE SLAIN
SHREVEPORT, La., Sept 6. The
executon of a double murder plot by
which Mrs. C. C. Bailey, conspired to

revealed today by Sheriff Flournoy,

sions of both Watson and Mrs. Bailey
both under arrest.
According to the confessions, the
Sheriff says, Mrs. Watson was killed
in a Texas town several months ago.
Then Watson came to Metcalf, La.,
where Bailey operated a lumber mill,
obtained employment, and was taken
into the Baily home as a member of
the family. Bailey was murdered
Monday night
When Watson was arrested he first
declared Bailey was slain by a burg
lar. . .

MOVEMENT OF SPUDS
CHECKED BY SUPPLY
There seems to be no hope of any
immediate improvement in the pota
to trade. With a record crop on its
hands and with California likewise
showing a bumper, the Pacific north
west must wait for some time before
it will secure a chance to move its
stock to the outside.
Seemingly the railroads will not
giye the lower rate to the east that
the trade here has asked for and this
will limit the selling territory to that
shown during normal seasons. j
To some extent the Pacific North
west will not enjoy even the territory
it has been accustomed to sending!
supplies. With California in a posi-j
tion to undersell! on account of its
better selling facilities and the fact 1
the large growers there are willing
to feed the market at all times no
matter. -what price is allowed, it is
not likely that much business can be
confirmed witth the southwest until
close to the end of the year.
The few carloads that are needed
for the Alaska trade are a mere drop
in the bucket compared with the sup
plies that are available.
With Seattle holding the bulk of
this trade, it is not likely that much
of the call will stray in this direction,
because Yakima is closer and will, as
a rule sell cheaper.;

Hell, Hull and Halifax.
Halifax, supposed to be the most
wealthy and prosperous town in the
north of England In proportion to size,
formerly possessed a curious notoriety.
A clase of the "Thieves' Litany" ran.
"From Hell, Hull and Halifax deliver
us!" This arose from the factthat
Halifax at one time could inflict sum
mary punishment upon anybody within
a radius of nine miles who had com
mitted a felony, especially by stealing
cloth. The culprits were tried by a
jury of four freeholders and if found
guilty, as generally happened, were ex
ecuted with a kind of guillotine at a
spot still shown in Gibbet lane. Lon
