The hallowed eve, which time has abbreviated and changed to Hallowe'en was the name of the even or vigil of All Saints'. From a religious observance the celebration has come to be an occasion for purely secular entertainment, and according to old legends, it is the one night In all the year when elves and fairies silently and invisibly miugle will the peoples of Uitt eartli. Various countries have observed the occasion in various ways. In England it was long customary to crack nuts, duck for apples In a tub of water and perform, other harmless fireside revelries on Hallowe'en. Anlentl.v the most essential ceremony seems to been the lighting of a bonfire, at nightfall in every household.

In Scotland, the ceremonies partook of a more superstitious character, the country, folk believing in Its charm to discover who should be his or her partner for life. Long uefore the Christian faith made way among the untutored peoples oi ancient Urltaln, the Druids had performed spcial rites on what is now as Hallowe'en, Hallowmas eve. or, Uti il ID buuicfUllleto cuiluu, "Nut Crack Night." Fires were lighted deep In remote forests on spurs of hills, even upon the great plains tint stretched between dense forests anj partial! cleared woodlands; myetlc rites were performed, the help of tho (Continued on Fourth I'age.) Attorney Wupperman MakcS Things Lively at the North Star North Star Mine, "Friday Morning, October 29--It is generally supposed that one celebrity is enough In one mining camp at one time, and that at North Star Charlie Sam entirely fills the bill, leaving no room for competition from the outside. But Atty. Henry Wupperman arrived In camp Monday night and Immediately began to wake things up, and for two or three days there was more doing at the North Star than there had been for weeks before.

Mr. Wupperman went out to replev- in a pool table from G. F. Hall, who runs a saloon on the Ready Money group of claims, just off the North Star propcry. Tuesday night Mr.

Wupperman thought that he had everything settled and Hall had promised to deliver him tho money due before the stage left the following (Wed nesday) morning. On Wednesday morning, however, when the stage with Mr. aboard stopped at Mr. Hall's place, Hall had changed his ifllnd, and do- rldod to allow Mr. Wupperman to whistle for his money, which he Immediately decided to do.

So he sent tho staco on without him HIU'I Uie 'aa began. He hunted up Ranger Roy Sexsmlth and ordered Roy to secure tin- table. Ranger Soxsmlth went down In re- plevin the tnblc and found Mr. Hall's looked Ijitor Mr. Hall refused to open his placo In order that Uie poo! inltrhl be secured, nnd Mr.

Wupperman for the amount due on the pool table, and this squared the matter. Joe then discovered that ho had a whiskey bill or two that was unpaid over at Kofa, and taking advantage or Mr. Wupperman's presence he decided to do a ifdle. collecting, himself, so be took Mr. Wupperman 'over to Kofs, and they had a case or two before Jus' II.

Canon's challenge to read of the Republican party such chaff as Cummins, La Follelte of Wlscnsln, and "their followers" was accepted today by Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. Notice of willingness to enter the contest was served upon Speaker Cannon through La Follete's Weekly Magazine. Cannon Is riddled and his dismantled doc- Iriiiu In lu'lil up iliu "aliitrliiigb of i grim old wolf who hears the beaters In-the woods, and scents them closing In." "As far as La Toilette's can speak for progesslves, service of the notice of tehopon fight Cannon promises IH hereby accepted," writes Senator Follette. Cannon Is quoted 1n the magazines as saying that If the progressives are Republicans, ho Is not. "If Canyon Is a Republican, these progressives, those undrilied citizens, are not," says Senator La Valletta.

"If Cannon Is a Republican, Lincoln arid Sunnier and George William' Curtis ami Carl Schurtz, and the men who followed Shermnn and Grant, and the commanders followed, and tho founders of the Republican party, were not. "Cannon may speak tho truth whon denies that ho has made a corrupt deal with Tumniun whereby he will did the tiger In New York, while It continues to alrf him In Congress In his contest with tho progressives or lie may. They may have come to his aid in that, grim crisis of last Congress, not because of anything he promised, but because of the deep sympathy that exists between such men. For If Cannon is a Republican, Tammany is Republican, and so Is Cox of Cincinnati, Sullivan, 'Bah- house John' and 'Hiuky-diuk' of Chicago, and the powers that prey ev ery- where. They may not pass under the same names, but Cannon himself Is authority fur the blutemuui.

liiul titles are deceitful now. "Uut about one thing, Cannon Is evidently mistaken. He cannot gav-l through his. classification of Republicans as lie gavels though his schemes In Congress. The voters of the Republican party xvlll decide as to who are Republicans, nn who are not.

"Hut w.e shall never believe in the identity of the party of Lincoln wittt the party of Cannon until tho last ballot has been counted In the last contest. The progressives may well bide their tlmo and laugh at the humiliations of the Czar of the House. Their time Is coming. Cannonlsm Is merely a survival, and It Is doomed.
