Show of Gold Star Scares Them and Prevents Robbery. Police Are Looking for Offender But Find No Trace. Milwaukee, WIs., Aug. 7.—An at tempt was made last night on the White Fish Hay road to hold up May or Shcrborn M. Hrecker. The mayor and his chauffeur were speeding along toward the Country Club when sud denly a short distance ahead a light was swung back and forth across the road. The mayor, who was driving, shut off the power and put on brakes, thinking that some accident had hap pened or there was a brake in the road. When he had brought his automobile to a halt, he found himself looking in to the muzzle of a revolver. A voice from the darkness said: “Now then, turn over whatever you have with you and do it quick.” Mayor Hrecker pulled back his coat showing his star and replied: “Tliis is all that I have with me just now.” The highway men took a glance at the gold star and, evidently thinking they had held up a police official, shut off their light and made a jump for the fence at the side of the road, disappear ing quickly. Mayor Hrecker proceeded to the Country Club and from there tel ephoned the police. Detectives were sent out at once, but no trace of the holdup men has been found. Dr. Walter S. Kldridge, of Portland, lias been confined to Ills house for sev eral weeks by sickness. Ho Is now somewhat improved and able to greet his friends although still under medi cal treatment.

Baseball Players Now Have No Horror of Oldtime Hoodoo. t I f r t s s 1. y i 11 The death knell of the baseball hoo doo has been sounded, and the only thing left, of the uncanny delights Is the walking of the ghost. Modern baseball Is rapidly driving superstition from the game. Any of you fans of the 33d degree can remember when a ball player thought that every dire calamity in the calen dar would hit him amidship if a man sat on the bench in citizen's clothes. Of late, however, several of the dressed up article have warmed the ben>-h and nothing serious has hap pened. The one superstition which sticks to the baseball player like the butter cake to the stomach is the presentation of tiowers on the field. Two years ago a floral horseshoe was presented to Mc Graw, and many members of the club believe it lost to the Giants the pen nant. The old broom superstition is the dean of the corps. Since Jim Mc Guire was in knickerbockers ..it has been considered an ill omen to have tho umpire after sweeping the plate, throw the broom toward the home plate. Some of the worst squabbles in baseball have arisen over this. lienee the adoption of the whisk broom by the umpires. ElberBeld and Jaek Powell believe that posing for pictures is the worst kind of luck. Three seasons ago El berfleld tried bis best to dodge the camera man, and when he failed he made a serious error in the first inn ing. lie attributed it to the camera. Fait when he won the game later with a safe hit in the ninth he insisted that that was a natural consequence and the photograph man did not figure. Jack Powell says in bis richest Eng lish: “I won’t stand for them ‘cameos’ around me, and there’s noth ing to it.” A new glove is also considered bad luck on a team. When Hal Chase bought a new first baseman’s mitt last season several players complained bit terly because he began playing with it lie fore the new tan coloring had given way to the blackness of tobacco Juice. All players saill have an idea that if a cross-eyed spectator sits dirertly behind the plate it brings bad luck to the home club. In one of the minor leagues at Birmingham it was Pitcher Jack Keenan walked over to the stand and asked a cross-eyed man to move to one side. Another superstition which still gets many of the old players’ goats is whis tling on or around the bench. When a player, who unconsciously begins to whistle, hears the warning, “Get a worm for the mocking bird,” he knows what it means and quits. All special displays, such as fire works, flag-raising, bands and march ing, mean bad luck to the ball player, and it is with greatest difficulty that the full team is persuaded to line op for the annual parade across the field. Most of these old superstitious ideas are passing and the modern ball play er thinks them rot. The romance of the game is going like it. Today the ball player knows that science is the secret of success and that luck omens cut no figure. You never see a ball player wear a rabbit’s foot these days. OTIfi CLYMKR.

Alabama’s Governor Chosen to Succeed Senator Pettus. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 7.—In joint session today the Alabama legislature elected former Governor Joseph F. Johnston to the upper house of the na tional Congress for a term ending March 4, 1915. lie succeeds the late fe’enator Pettus and was nominated in a general primary and at the Demo cratic caucus, having no opposition in the latter. Ho will serve with John H. Rank head, also elected at this session to succeed the late Senator Morgan. Both follow Senators who were re elected and died within a month of each other and who, like their suc cessors, had been nominated by the people. VOTE IS CLOSE. And Second Primary May Be Held 10 Settle Senatorial Contest. New Orleans, Aug. T.—Dispatches from Jackson. Miss., say that a sec ond senatorial primary for John Sharp illlnms and Governor James K. Yard man, is regarded with favor by many followers of both. Secretary of S’tatc Power, up to last night, still had ten counties to hear the official returns from and the count up to that point showed Mr. Williams lead to be but about 410 votes. The smallness of the plurality, which it is now estimated the winner will have, is given as the ground for the belief that a contest over the elec tion is inevitable. The ballot boxes are being watched by workers of both sides. The fact that a second primary must b“ held to select the candidate for governor, lias cleared the way for the advocacy of another vote for sena tor. OBSTRUCTION ACROSS' ROAD Wrecks Auto .Alcar Chester, Va., and Kills One Occupant. Chester, Va., Aug. 7.—An automobile ir which Miss May Ilushnell, 11.7 years j of age, of this place, was returning from Berryville in company with Jac- I quelin Hardesty, was wrecked just 1 outside of Berryville last night, Miss Buslinell being thrown out and her skull fractured. She died soon aftor v arcl. At one point in the road Mr. Har desty observed several large stones piled In the road, evidently placed there by wreckers. These were avoid ed, but orly a few moments later the i machine dashed into a large log placed over the entire roadway. The authori ties are making vigorous efforts to capture tin* miscreants.

Ocean Point, -Me., Aug. 7.—(Special). —Amid the busy moments in prepar ing for the Fair it is possible only to chronicle the incidents of the week The Fair is of course the all-absorbing topic and everything circles around it. It is the object of many plans and much celiberation. Through the live long. day the young people under the guiding spirit of Mr. Pres by are at the Casino busy in adorning the hall for tomorrow.

A popular barber has, as most of his customers know, been complaining a great deal about malaria, and has been going about his daily work with a downcast faee and an air of extreme weariness. Recently he has acted like a new man, and he says it is because he has found a new medicine that he wants everybody to know about. “Of course.” he said, "I knew ra.v liver was to blame, and In addition to my malaria I had bowel troubles and constipation with such regularity as to prove that my liver was not doing its work properly. I took various drugs which were supposed to be good for me. but which were not. “Finally a doctor gave me a prescription which he says is purely vegetable, and contains no harmful, poisonous drugs that would leave a man worse off than he was before. I took it for a little while, and I am well —no more lazy liver, no more chills or anything of that kind. "I will give you the prescription to use if you see fit: Fluid extract of Fringe Tree, one-half ounce; fluid extra of Gentian, one-eighth ounce; concentrated Lecto compound, one ounce; syrup of Ginger, two and throe eighth ounces. “The dose is a teaspoonful in a half glass of water before each meal and at bedtime. Help out the excellent work of the medicine by drinking plenty of water and in taking a lot of hedlthfal exercise." THE DAILY MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK 8TOCK MARKET.

I i Daily Kennebec Journal ESTABLISHED 1825 No notice whatever will be taken of unsigned communications. The Journal cannot be held responsible for the preservation or return of re jected communications. Address all communicationa relating to subscriptions and advertisements to UUHLEICJH FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Thursday, August 8, 1907. There is a general feeling that Mr. Stuyvesant Kish could discount Mr. Lawson’s “frenzied finance by telling ail he knows about Mr. Harriman. The records of the peace conference i at The Hague bid fair to make even the bulky Congressional record look small in comparison. The Atlanta Constitution consoles lt selt with the reflection that the pas sage of the prohibition bill has made Georgia the best advertised state in the Union. G. Bernard Shaw refuses to utilize his free advertising In this country by going upon the lecture platform. In this respect he differs radically from most European celebrities. Mr. Shouts is doubtless beginning to believe that the task of digging the Panama canal is a trifling one com pared willi the rapid transit problem in New York city. It is now said that Carrie Nation has renounced her intention to reform Pittsburg. Evidently a closer view of the job convinced even her that it was far beyond her powers. If France and Spain combine to wipe out the fanatics in Morocco, the re sult is liable to be disastrous to Kaid Maclean, but better men than he have been sacrilicod to a poorer cause. i The congratulations of Mr. Bryan do not appear to have readied Senator John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi. Probably the Nebraska editor over looked them in the hurry of closing up his forms. A corn spondent of a Boston paper J declares that too many automobile uc cidents come from putting the gasoline into the wrong tank. No automobile should he permitted to carry more than one tank. It lr«iks now as if the city of Chicago would secure both the great National Conventions next summer and it roust he conceded that few cities are better located for such gatherings or afford more ample accommodations for them. An Alabama paper desires to know what Thomas Jefferson would do if he should return to life. He would probably drop dead again when he discovered the issues professed in his name by tlie modern Democracy. Colonel Wattcrson would have to rhangp his platform “bark to the con stitution" to “hack at the constitution” hi case the doughty Governor Glenn of North Carolina should lie the Demo cratic standard bearer in the next presidential campaign. s The people of Maine will unite in wishing Commander Peary a full measure of success in his next attempt to dlscr ver the North pole. The rec ord of this courageous and persistent explorer lias reflected much credit upon his native State. The Spokesman-Review declares the pessimist to be the man who believes that the parade hand always stops playing Just as it gets opposite where he is standing. This is not an in fallible sign, liowevcr. People of fair ly exuberant natures have occasional ly observed the same Ihing. This Is :tn era of organizations. It might lw a good tiling for the various gentlemen who have been nominated for the presidency this summer at Chautauqua meetings to form a candidates’ club. They might derive 'considerable entertainment from the interchange of views and experiences. Senator I5en Tillman has dared Senator Foraker to meet him before a Itepubllcan audience in Ohio and de bate upon the negro question. Not having Mr. Tillman's vituperative vocabulary, the Ohio Senator would be at a distinct disadvantage in such a contest. i 3* Tlie State of Maine is certainly flat P tered by the rapidity with which the states of the South are adopting our prohibitory policy. Georgia is already in line and it is said that Mississippi will soon follow. Other Southern 1 states ere moving rapidly in the same direction. The Michigan peach is now reported k to be leading the Delaware and J Georgia article in tlio Northern mar kets. The New York Packer declares tliat it does not take much of a crop of fruits or vegetables this year to net the grower large returns. Farm products have never brought better S prices Jhan they are bringing at the present time, nor were the agricultural interests of the country ever in a more prosperous condition. Fair Play for All. Judge I.andis declared In his recent decision that men who deliberately violate rebate laws “wound society more deeply than he who counterfeits the coin or steals letters from the mall.” The American people are de termined that such unjust and inde fensible favoritism on the part of the common carriers of this country shall cease and no man or corporation will hereafter be permitted to profit in such manner at the expense of his com petitors. Railroads exist in this coun try through special concessions of the people. They are given rights of way. not for the purpose of serving me man or any combination of men, but to deal fairly, justly, and upon the same basis with the whole public. Whenever they cease to be conducted upon tills basis it is only just that i they and those who connive with them to secure criminal profits through dis- crimination In the matter of rates, should be promptly and severely pun ished. At ttie same time care should be taken that no injustice is done in the enforcement of the laws, and that any hysteria which may exist in the public mind is not permitted to prejudice the case of any citizen or corporation. The public desires noth ing save fair play for all concerned and, that no man or combination of men shall be above the law. Fair play demands that the humblest citi zen shall have the same rights and enjoy the same rates as are given to other patrons. Any deviation from this rule is a crime against society and one which it is very evident that the American Dcople will no longer toler ate. The Educated Negro. An address delivered by Mr. Leroy Percy has a very interesting bearing upon the negro problem in the South and would seem to furnish practical refutation of the assertion made by men of the Tillman and Vardanian class that education has proved a failure with the colored race. “I deny from observation.” said Mr. Percy, “that a rudimentary education makes a negro a more inefficient farmer. I own a place in Washing ton county entirely tenanted by ne groes. I do not believe that a more desirable set of negro tenants can be found upon any property in the South, and more than SO per cent, of them can read and write. The most desirable class of farmers in the Yazoo Delta are those who are able, as it is ex pressed, ‘to furnish themselves'; that is, those who can procure from factors or commission merchants supplies for tile year, instead of the planter being forced to supply them. They are the negroes who either own small tracts of land, or, if they are renters, who have accumulated stock, farming im plements and other personal property. In a small way. they can be called the pecuniary successes of their race. More than SO per cent, of this class of cegr .es read and write.” Specific facts like these will carry much more weigtit with thoughtful people than the glittering generalities and vituperative denunciation indulged in by Southerners of the fire-eating class. A short time ago Mr. Clarence Dar row, tiie Chicago lawyer and So cialist. in an address to the prisoners at the Chicago county jail, said: "I do not believe that there is any sort of distinction between the real moral conditions of people in and out of the jail. One is just as good as the nth t r. I do not believe people are in jail because they deserve to tie. They are in Jail simply because tin y cannot avoid il on account of circumstances which are entirely beyond tlu ir control and for which they are in no way re sponsible.” Tin re should be a specially padded cell in every state in sane asylum for men who indulge in rot like this. Inasmuch as the various car-building institutions of the country have been reported to be working over time for a number of months past, it is to bo hoped that tlic railroads will be in position to move the crops of the com ing autumn with a fair degree of dis patch. Unquestionably, the rapidity with which this can be done will have a marked bearing upon the character of the money market. Mrs. Sain Small of Georgia con demns women’s clubs In most vigorous terms. Inasmuch as she has never belonged to one of them it would seem that her judgments concerning them could not lie regarded as specially valuable. They are probably very much like men’s clubs. There are good ones and bad ones with the good ones largely in the majority. “It is odd,” remarks the Springfield Republican, “that smokers should go to England for the finest American to bacco." Rut do they? A Maine man who recently returned from a trip to Europe in which he spent a consider able time ia England, declares that he was not successful in securing a good cigar during his entire trip abroad. Strange to say it was Jefferson Davis county which furnished John Sharpe Williams the votes,which enabled him to win in bis senatorial contest over Gov. Vardanian. Names are not al ways significant. The Changes in the Senate. The death of the two venerable Ala bama senators so near together calls attention to the unusually large num ber of changes that will have taken place in the membership of the Sen ate when that body meets next De cember. The list is surprisingly long when it Is considered that there has been no great political upheaval. First there are Pettus and Morgan of Ala bama, who have died: then there is Spooner of Wisconsin, who has re signed and who is the greatest loss of all. in point of actual ability in both constructive legislation and debate; Dubois of Idaho, Clark of Montana, Paterson of Colorado are three West ern Democrats whose seats will be filled by Republicans; Dryden of New Jersey, Alice of Delaware and Millard if Nebraska are Republicans who have failed of re-election, but will be suc ceeded l>y others of their own party; Kerry of Arkansas, Blackburn of Ken tucky and Carmack of Tennessee are Democrats who have been defeated by other Democrats as a result of the se lection of senatorial candidates at the primaries. There is also the seat of Oregon, formerly filled by Mitchell, anti since then for brief periods by Cioarin, Democrat, and Mulkcy, Re publican. wnich will be occupied by Senator Bourne. Here are 13 changes, and Rhode Island has yet to elect Wet more’s successor. In addition there will be the two new Senators from Oklahoma, who will take their seats some time (luring the com ing Congress if not at its opening. There will therefore be at least la new faces in the Senate, even if Senator Wetmorc is re-elected and no further fatalities intervene. It requires but little calculation to see that this is ap preciably higher than the average rate of change. As far as these changes are directly significant, the retirement of tlie three Western Democrats, leav ing Senator Teller of Colorado the sole Democratic Senator from that section, illustrates with striking emphasis how the Democrats are being more and more confined to the solid South. Ex cept for Senator Teller, who will ap parently he succeeded by a Republican in 1909, the Democrats now have no Senators north of Mason and Dixon’s line. Prohibition in the South. Tilt1 re has been wide comment of late on the growing strength of the prohibition sentiment in the South. The wave is sweeping from northern Vir ginia to southwestern Texas, and just us that section tried in vain to secede from the Union half a century ago, so it is now trying—and successfully, too —to secede from the baleful intiucnce of the saloon. It is not the work of bigots or fanatics, nor is there any element of politics in the matter, but the best people there have joined forces in behalf of a better citizenship which can only be possible when the rum power is crushed. They have al ways believed in states' rights in the South and now they are aroused to the realization that it is not only the right, but also the duty of the state to wage a crusade against that force which has been the leading factor in the race riots, the crimes and the general dis order which have been the shame of tlie South. Says a Georgia paper: “Tlie chief enemy of both the negroes and the poor whites, and through them, of society, has been whisky. Tlie At lanta crimes and the consequent riots were horn in the Atlanta dives. And th‘» saine is true of nearly all crimes and harmful disorder. Sobriety stands for the salvation of the South’s labor and tlie South's public warfare. That is the economic side of tile new morality in the South. It is an im pressive examples of Americans rising above their personal beliefs to benefit the public weal.” Here arc some of the amazing re sults accomplished in the South in the past few years: Georgia prohibits the manufacture or tale of a drop of in toxicants within its borders, begin ning with next January. Kentucky permits its 253 distilleries to operate, but allows the unrestricted sale ir. only three out of lift counties, while 87 are absolutely ‘•dry.” Tennessee permits the sale of liquor only in its three largest cities. North Carolina s next legislature will pass upon a con stitutional amendment enforcing com plete prohibition. In more than 80 per cent, of the 274.000 square miles of the imperial area of Texas no intoxi cants can be sold, 151 out ol' its 221 counties voting solidly for local op tion. In the Alabama cities a drink canont be bought legally after ft o’clock at night, and in the counties where the sale is allowed at all it canont be made after 8 P. M. Mis souri has only seven counties opposed to prohibition out of 120 in the state, and the tendency toward making in dulgence in drink more and more diffi cult is unmistakable, though less strik ing, in Mississippi, Lousiana, Virginia anti South Carolina. The Baltimore American has named Ilearst and Bryan the "willin’ Wil liams,” a name that seems likely to stick to them. A Southern paper wants to know whether women can be angels. They can. but most of them prefer to re main hitman. Bishop Potter thinks that our civili zation is disposed to be altogether too extravagant in its expenditures. Nevertheless, the general public profits vastly more from the rich men who spend their money than from those who hoard it. It is now reported that Hearst will oppose the nomination of Mr. Bryan. This is the first gleam of sunshine that has lit up the political way of the Ne braska statesman for some weeks past. A good many of the President's critics have denounced him as an im pulsive man. hut the American people admire and appreciate his brand of im pulsiveness and would gladly have more of it. Mr. Bryan's friends now feel tlmt he would have profited very much politi cally liud lie remained in Kurope a year longer. Maine Gossip Down By the Sea. Oil. wliat are tilt wild waves saving?

Wednesday, August 21, will be the day of a hundred years over in Jeffer son and the good old town is making extensive plans for the celebration. With 4fi0 trunks piled off the train at Old Orchard in a single day, break ing all records, there must be some thing doing at the famous beach. All this Maine League hullabaloo and fizzle was worth while, if only for the columns of sefueals and yawps w ith which those Biddeford Journalists have added to tiie gaiety of the silly season. South Windham is glad enough to welcome new industries, hut it is naturally a little nervous at the propo sition to build a dynamite factory and to store hundreds of tons of explosives within a mile of the village. Gorham may well be happy at the gift of a Jf,0.000 library building by its honored son, Hon. James P. Baxter of Portland, to be built on the site of his birthplace. That kind of a library is worth a dozen given by Carnegie. Base ball interest is reaching the midsummer pitch down at the shore. .Boolhbay Harbor won the first two games of the championship series with S'luirrel Island, and now the island team, with its “amateur” team rein forced by three or four Maine League players, lias won two games and evened up the score.

Bath, which has many shipping events in which to take pride, tills memorable week, has the added dis tinction of having in operation, in the Lincoln National bank, an institution which is tiie oldest bank in the State of Maine. It was started as a State bank in 1R12, was incorporated as a national bank in lSf.4, and has con ducted a'continuous business in that city for almost a century. Married only once and yet married in time counties was Hie unique experi ence of a Palmyra couple this week. To escape tile kind friends, the fear of whose pranks is enough to scare any couple out of matrimony, these two young people hoarded the train at FitsfioUl. taking a minister along with them. As the train sped through the towns of Pittsfield. Rurnham and Clin ton. in the counties of Somerset, Waldo and Kennebec, the knot was tied and the happy couple continued on their wedding journey unmolested. Even doctors make mistakes—for particulars, consult the death statistics —and so other people find a little grim satisfaction in contemplating a case where a doctor was the victim of his fellow physicians. It happened down in Camden, according to the Rockland Courier-Gazette, a Massachusetts med ical man who was visiting there being operated on for appendicitis some two months ago, the operation seeming to he a perfect success. 811100 then his health has been so poor that it was thought necessary to operate again, when to the surprise of doctors and nurses they found that one of the sponges used in the operation was for gotten and left insfde. causing great distress and pain. Perhaps the youngest driver of an nu'o in Maine this summer is the 10 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. Neil son of New York, who are at Aork Harbor. This little fellow is frequently seen driving his father's big touring ear about town ail by his lonesome, and lie does it with all the ease and fearlcsyne«s of a professional chauffeur. In fact, he exercises much more dis cretion than many good drivers, and seems to understand thorouKlily the complete management anil control of the machine. A mountain of nickel In North Ilumford? That is news which re quires verification. It would be a good thing, though.
