TRANSCRIPT
DOCTOR OFFERS TOHELP LITTLE DELLA
Little Delia, the tiny hunch-backgirlie, tbe suffering tot with thebeat and crooked back which oughtto get better, but "never don't," thestory of whose little life tragedywas told in The Press some timeago, is going to have a chance torid herself of the pain which causesher to cry herself to sleep nightafter night.
The story of little Delia's trou-bles so interested Dr. Hampten, aspecialist, with offices in the Pey-ton building, that he has volun-teered to do all that medicalscience can do to cure that poorlittle gnarled and twisted back.
Owing to the strong canvass be-
ing made for funds for the supportof the Orphan's Home of Spokane,where Delia is being cared for, itis impossible for the managementof the home to take little Delia tothe doctor just at present ?as therewill be no use in taking her oncein a while; she must go daily?butas soon as the fair is over and thecrowds have gone home, then Deliawill be cared for by the doctor.
She will be taken to theof the specialist from day to day,and if medical science can do thework there willbe a change in thattiny bent back which ought to getbetter, but so far has "neverdidn't."

PEOPLE GLADPress, and upon being informedthat arrangements had been madefor admission of the children to thefair, announced that next Saturday
-Booming she will send automobilesout to the orphanage to convey the
' youngsters to and from the fairgrounds.
And so the children will see allthere is to be seen; they will havethe time of their lives. There will
'bo no broken hearts in the orphan-ages of Spokane, because the fath-erless and motherless are shut offfrom the joys of childhood.
This isn't such a bad old world,after all.

Lambert has not said that he will"make the race for a commissioner--ship, but his name is mentioned.» Then there are the business men
?the chamber of commerce forces.. They will demand a commission of
business men and will cut a largefigure in the result.
One of the big factors in the se-lection of the new commissionerswill be the labor vote, if it electsto act as a nnit. Labor will prob-ably be represented by at leastthree men and probably five can-didates.

"GET BACK TOSOIL" FEELING
The "get back to the soil"feeling received new impetusthis week in Spokane becauseof the presence of the Dry
Farming congress. The manwho has had a Inking desireto some day own a quarter sec-tion of the public domain andhas ben so fortunate as to beable to attend the sessions ofthe congress has felt the long-ing to return to nature growstronger within his soul.
After all, the farmer's lifel§ the most Independent onearth, even if he is forced towork hard and keep long hoursat times. The Increased costof living has lessened mate-rially the savings of the cityman, particularly the wageearner, and the farm is lookedupon as the best solution of theproblem.
SHRINERS SEE FAIROver 500 Shriners spent yester-
day afternoon at the fair. Somestayed over for the evening per-formance, while the greater numberspent the evening at the Masonictemple where 38 men were initiatedas members of the El Katif temple.Following the Initiation a variedand delightful program of musicalnumbers and speeches waß ren-dered.

BOYS SAW THEWHOLE SHOW
Did they have a good time? Well,just ask them! They aroused thewhole neighborhood in front of ThePress office with their noise, and
there was sure some noise, too, for
there were over a hundred Pressboys. They all met at The Pressoffice and after a short talk withthe boys the circulation force linedthem up by twos and fed them be-fore the festivities of the evening.They started down Riverside ave-nue and, O, what a noise! as theywended their way gaily down River-side avenue, giving their officialyells. They took the car at Wash-ington and Riverside ?a car all oftheir own, too. After marching intothe main entrance o fthe fair asguests of Manager Cos grove, theymarched down the midway andwere taken for a ride on the merry -go-round, then into "Independence,"the educated horse ?and this was"some" horse, too! Almost as muchsense as a human being! then toSing Sing, which is a very interest-ing and Instructive place of amuse-ment; it tells of the life of the pris-oners at Sing Sing. They were nextintroduced to the ossified man. Heis as hard as a rock and is gettingharder every day. He is very happyand is now looking for a wife. Theboys then made their way to theIndian t-illajie and saw the varioustribes dauce the social, war andmany other dances.

SIX DAYS IN JAILFOR DEING RODDED!
INHERITS FORTUNE BECAUSE OF HIS COURTESY.
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.?A fortune has been left to Clarence Hob-litcelle of New York, formerly social arbiter among the youngbachelors of St. Louis, because of his courtesy to elderly persons.
He always made It a practice to give the older persons all of histime they seemed to care for and to do them all the favors pos-sible. Among his elderly frlenda was Mrs. A. L. H. Bailey, whohas jnst died in St. Louis, leaving him a large part of her estate,valued at between $250,000 and $300,000.Six days in jail for being robbed!
That's an unusual stntence, isn'tit?
But that's exactly what JohnDysart had to serve because hewas unfortunate enough to have hispocket picked of $19 along in themiddle of September.
No, Dysart wasn't sentenced inpolice court. He had to stay injail because of the Incompetency ofthe police department as conductedby "Captain of Police" John Sulli-van. This is how it happened:
Dysart came to the city alongabout the middle of the month andon the 18th his pocket was pickedby one James Oldham, a negro.
The robbed man complained tothe police and Oldham was arrest-ed. Dysart went to the station to
swear the complaint, but leftbeforehe was booked a« a witness.
He did not know that he had toappear against the thief, so did notshow up at the station again, andthe case was continued from timeto time owing to the absence of thecomplaining witness.
Last Friday Dysart was arrestedand thrown into Jail as a witnessin the case, and when the policeshifts changed that night the manon the day shift had neglected tobook him, and the man who tookthe night shift did not even knowthat Dysart was in jail.
Therefore Dysart had to lie injail until the police accidentallydiscovered that he was there. Bythis time the case had been triedand Oldham had been sentenced toserve 10 days for the robbery.
30,000 AT FAIRON DERBY DAY
It seemed today as if Spokanehad turned out en masse for s pic-nic and a good time at the fair. Bynoon the benches were almost alloccupied by lunch parties, andwhole families, from the oldest tothe youngest, seemed to be enjoy-ing themselves immensely. It is es-timated 30,000 sre attending today.The sideshows reaped a plentifulharvest this morning. "Right thisway, only a dime, ten cents, tencents," brought the people instreams into the entrances.
One of the sideshows that provedinteresting was "Madame Baker,the longest haired lady in theworld." Madame Baker is a resi-dent of Spokane and has a remark-
able head of hair. It ia olose to alzfeet long and Is so heavy that shecannot bear the weight of It uponher head for any length of time. Itis not a fake proposition in anysense dt {he word and those whohave seen and talked to her willvouch for the assertion.
Spokane housewives are findingthe fair grounds an excellent placein which to do their shopping. Inthe building devoted to booths runby Spokane merchants are dis-played practically all the necessi-ties and luxuries as well as novel-ties to be found in the downtowndistrict and in addition to this thecollection Is in so comparativelysmall a space that it is exceedinglyeasy to look things over.
"THE CITY" PROVES ONEOF THE GREATEST PLAYS
One of the greatest plays everseen in Spokane was at the Auditor-ium last night. And it was a shamethat about 90 per cent of the housewas composed of people from outof town, who are visiting Spokanethis week. "The City" is a playwhich would deeply interest every-body here.
Norman Hackett's apostrophe to"The City" is superb. It was madein answer to George Rand's moth-er's assertion that the family nevershould have come to the city to live,but should have stayed in the coun-try, where they could have heldtheir own. Hackett, as Rand, de-clared that the city is not an evil.It Is a great reality which forcesman to do. his darndest. It stripsyour charater naked and tells youeither to fight and make yourself ahero or go to the torrid place. Itstrips hypocrisy of It smask andshows up men as they really are.
Not one of those who saw Geof-frey C. Stein's Interpretation ofHannock, the half crazed, illegit-imate brother of Rand, willforgetthe murder scene for many a day.It was the high pinnacle of dramaticintensity. He dominates the wholeplay during the act; In fact, thescene Is so Intense that the rest ofthe play Is an anti-climax. There Is
Just one criticism to make: Aboutthree days or weeks should elapsebetween the second and third acts."The City" will be given again to-night. See it.
BURNS ISTHEMAINSPRING
FOUR BIG BUILDINGSFOR FRONT AVENUE
With the new city hall, the Unionpassenger station, the Americantheater and the Cover d'Alenehotel, the region of Front avenue,between Post and Washington, willstill maintain its Importance afterthe buildings on the north side ofthe street are torn away to permitthe invasion of the new railroads.
The decision to locate thenew city hall at the southwest cor-,ner of Front and Wall, made at themeeting of the city council lastTuesday uight, retains for that endof the city the prestige of havingthe municipal building in the re-gion. This matter is finally set-tled, as the city council has orderedthat the ground, 137 on Front av-enue by 142 on Wall street, be con-demned and has appropriated $200,---000 to pay for the condemnation.The council is entirely in sympathywith the public demand that abuilding be erected in keeping wfththe growing needs of the city, and
one that will be something worthlooking at by strangers.

John T. Burns has been re-electedsecretary of the next Dry FarmingCongress. Burns is the machine,the wheels, the mainspring thatkeeps the outward activities of thecongress in motion. There is evi-dence at hand as to how much "dryfarming" Burns has carried on inhis day, but he can tell more aboutthe theoretic and practical sides ofthe question than nine out of tenmen who follow the business. BurnsIs an ex-newspaper man. He hasgiven several years to the study ofdry farming until he is thoroughlysaturated with the question.
