Watkins, 8133 Shenan doah Aye., St. Louis, Mo., writes: “Among all the greatly advertised medicines for kidnoy and bladder trouble there is nothing which equals Peruna. I suffered for several years with this trouble, spent hundreds of dollars on doctors and medicine and all to no purpose, until I took Peruna. “One bottle did me more good than all the others put together, as they only poisoned my system. Peruna cured me. I used it for four months before a com plete cure was accomplished, but am truly grateful to you.

Pittsburg, Oct. fc—Hans Wagner, per haps the greatest ball player that ever stood on spikes, is absolutely heart broken over the failure of his team to win the pennant b\ taking the last game from Chicago Monday afternoon. On reaching his home at Carnegie yes terday morning the nig fellow, who now leads 1 he league in batting for his six times, was met by some friends, who sought to console him. "Well, you got something out of it, anyway, this year. 1 see you lead the league again, raid a friend. ••Bosh! with those hits and all that stuff,” snapped Wagner, “what does it all amount to when we didn't win that game yesterday? 1 would have gladly given every world's record 1 have had or even hope to have if we could only have pulled that game out of the tire yesterday. It would have been the greatest race in the world's history for us, for !**t me tell you there were a. whole lot of people scattered around the circuit who thought, even up to the last week, that we were jokes and they were waiting to hear us blow up. “I’m awful sorry for Clarke, if ever there was a man who deserved to win it was Fred,” continued Wagner. “That fellow had things awful hard at times, but lie never lost heart and he kept us all going all tl^e time. The ground rule hurt at Chicago—hurt us more than it did Chicago. There were four balls dropped in the crowd right back of Fred Clarke, each going for two bases, when he would have eaten them up. it's awful. I'm going to kill 10, 000 birds this winter to forget it.”

BOXING

CONNOLLY AND GUNTHER FIGHT A HOT DRAW. Portland, Me., Oct. 6.—Bartley Con nolly ot this city and George Gunther, the "Melbourne Kangaroo,” fought six sizzling rounds Monday night with honors even. Both men seemed in sp'endid condition and outside the last 1 minute of the last round, when Con nolly had to hang on to recuperate Iroin Gunther’s lierce body punches, neither man showed any particular distress. Connolly invariably got the I better of the long range exchange of punches, but the colored man was his superior in body work and in-fighting. Por two rounds they felt each other out. In the last four they fought for a knockout in the fourth Connolly 1 planted Gunther half-way across the ring with a right to the chin, but lie came back as the bell struck. SHRUBB-LONGBOAT RACE AT NEW YORK CALLED OFT. INew York, Oct. G—There has be»n some hitch in the arrangements for the proposed 10-mile race between Alfred Shrubb and Tom Longboat, which was scheduled for Madison Square Garden tor either Oct. 27 or 28. There has been an official denial from Ottawa that Longboat will run in New York, but will compete in amateur Canadian Marathon races in November. Shrubo showed a letter yesterday from his manager, Arthur Duffey, stating that the race was on. but as this letter was several days old, Shrubb was of the opinion that the race would not be run, and that the dispatch from Ot tawa was true.

FOR VICE PRESIDENT i JAMES S. SHERMAN OF NEW YORK.

Governor Haskell keeps on explain ing, but thus far Bryan does not see Ins way (Par to put the Oklahoma statesman hack in charge of the cam paign funds. American beauties have long been winning honors abroad and so it is not surprising that American roses win the two lirst prizes at the French flower show. John W. Kern, the Indiana states man whose wonderful power as a campaigner was to add such strength to the Democratic ticket, is now side tiacked into Georgia. It must, give William Penn a roin j lucent feeling as lie g.iy,cs down from the lofty tower of Philadelphia's City hull and sees what the city is doing in honor of his work of years ago. Two of those nominated by the Massachusetts Democrats as presi dential electors have declined the honor, one of them because he is go ing to vote for Taft. There is still George Fred Williams, however. No, the Democrats are not using for a campaign nnnimont the resolutions unanimously adopted by the 3000 hankers at the session of the American Hankers association emphatically denouncing the deposit guaranty scheme of Mi .van’s platform. The examination of a bankrupt New York broker shows that lie recently gave Ivina Wallace Hopper a $4500 automobile and a $35,000 life insurance policy. The diclosure also gives her n new notoriety which is no doubt just ns welcome as tin* other things. Senator Mailey of Texas not being much of a factor in this campaign or much of a figure in national affairs anyway, there is hardly a ripple of ex Moment over the publication by Hearst of a lot of Arcjibold letters showing that the Texas statesman 1ms been receiving big fees from Hie Standard i! company and borrowing money from it while in the Senate. However there is nothing new in tlvse disclosures. The gasoline odor has been very perceptible in Bailey’s vicinity for some time. laice. tlie former Maine man who has been a prominent candidate for the Republican nomination for lieuten ant governor in Massachusetts did not quite get there this time, hut he made a good fight and had 350 dele gates in the convention He made a great speech in endorsement of his rival when lie saw that lie was beaten. Mo was all for concord and the ticket, and lie brought down the house hy savins; his feelings were expressed oy the widow who put on tier husband's tombstone (lie epitaph. "Rest in Peace I'ntil We Meet Attain" As soon as tiie delegates caught on. they broke into loud cheering and they expect Mr. I.uce to show uii next time. Down in Georgia they hold the state election today and there is art usual amount of interest in it The Re publican ticket will not cut a large figure, but there are other elements in the tight wyhieh make tilings very lively for the 'Democracy. The regular Democratic nominee for governor is opposed by the nominee of the In dependence party. (.’apt. d ano Carter, who has been a leader in re form movements in the state. Twelve years ago. while in the state Senate, he started a movement for the abolition of the convict lease system, and Pie special session of tlie legislature last month, which practically abolished this system, was called to destroy 'lie vulue of that reform as a campaign asset. Capt. Carter lias alleged an agreement on the part of the Demo cratic candidate to throw the state's electoral vote for Tom Watson in ’e turn for a Democratic state victory, which adds to the interest in the cam paign. “Unless Otherwise Stipulated.” Like many other planks in the Den ver platform that one regarding the publicity of campaign contributions before election turns out to be only a delusion and a fraud. The pledge has a string to it. While Bryan is going up and down the land promising full publicity of contributions to nis campaign fund, his managers are promising immunity from publicity to all donors who desire it. The Chicago Tribune, a paper absolutely trust worthy states that it has in its posses sion original letters written by agents or ,yii. nryan s campaign cominuiee, containing documentary proof that this sort of doubledealing is being systematically indulged in. As the Tribune points out, this dis closure is particularly timely in view of the fact that the Democratic na tional committee has just published a so-called full list of contributions received up to date, and this, the Democratic managers and Mr. Bryan say, will disprove the report that Gov ernor Haskell, the deposed campaign treasurer, received $300,000 from the Standard Oil Company as a starter to wards Bryan's campaign fund. Wheth er the published list he conclusive evi dence as to donors and amounts of contributions is a question which an intelligent person can easily answer, it: the light of the scheme for sup pressing the names of contributors which is being worked from Demo cratic headquarters. The Tribune says that a series of letters are being sent broadcast through the state of Michigan by F. lv Pulte, who writes that he has been “commissioned by the national com mittee” to solicit funds in that state. After making a fervid appeal for funds, he writes: “Governor C. X. Haskell, treasurer of the national com mittee, will mail to each contributor a lithographed souvenir receipt. A com plete list of all contributors (unless otherwise stipulated) in the state of Michigan, containing their addresses and the amount contributed, will be published in pamphlet form, a copy of which will be mailed to each sub scriber." “I'nless otherwise stipulated” may cover a multitude of sins in this case. It is simply a cunningly devised eva sion which renders it possible for Mr. Bryan's financial solicitors to gather in large contributions from questionable sources, without the publicity which Bryan prates of in his speeches. Mr. Bryan is the stalking horse, to befool the voters while the committeemen and his other agents do the real work. The phrase "unless otherwise stipu lated," could not he twisted, even by other meaning than that which ap pears on its face. All a prospective contributor who shrinks from pub licity, tlie Standard Oil Company, for instance, has to do is to take a hint from these letters sent out on behalf of the Democratic national committee and "stipulate” for a suppression if the transaction. In the light of these letters Mr. Bryan's grandiose speeches tin the subject of campaign contribu tions necessarily become mere guff and gush. Country Signboards. I am told that there is a State law regarding the proper erection of sign boards at the crossing of roads and the intersecting of roads in tier coun try for the benefit of travelers who are unfamiliar with the location of the roads I am further informed that there is a fine for the negligence of the of ficials in not complying with the Ja .v The matter was brought to my atten tion by the fact that there are many apologies for sign boards within a short distance of Portland that give but little information to travelers and in some cases the signs arc so weather oeaten that they cannot lie read. Others have been blown over ttv the wind or twisted from their fastenings so the hand paints the wrong direction "Stroller" in Portland Express. There is such a law and such a pen alty, both being plain enougli in their terms and both being familiar to most t nvn officials, but iti nearly every town there are important crossings and in terseclions unmarked and the jeouse travelers is beyond estimating. For that matter, in many of our cities the streets are not properly marked, bat it is easier to make inquiries in a city and most of the travel there is loo.il. Hut in the country towns of Maine where increasing numbers of strangers travel in teams or autos in the summer months the absence of signboards--or the presence of signboards so weather baten as to be undecipherable--is a serious matter. No doubt conditions are much better in this respect than they were a few years ago. The popularity of bicycle riding a dozen years ago drew general attention to the need of signboards on country roads and many towns altend ed to the matter. It is something where constant vigilence is needed, however, tor in a few years the signs become worn or blown down and the sti anger is no better off than before. It is not a matter where great expense is involved. It is simply a matter of giving the town a good name by re membering the convenience of the strangers who travel through it- simply a matter of complying with a wise and reasonable State law. The country lias had no explanation as yet of the precise manner in which .Mr. ITearst came into possession of the Archbald letters. The Democrats of New Hampshtie built high hopes that Judge Bingham of the supreme bench would accept their nomination for governor. He is a strong man, very popular, and they felt he would draw many Republican votes. But Judge Bingham is very well satisfied where he is, and does not propose to leave the bench for the fun of leading forlorn Democratic hopes among the Granite hills. The next governor of New Hampshire will lie Henry B. Quinby a native of Maine and in every way exceptionally well fitted for tlie position.

Read this: Mrs. C. F. Church, living at No. 2 Cushman street, Augusta, Me., says; ■'X value Doan's Ividney Pills today more highly than ever. Before using this remedy, about six years ago. I had a great deal of trouble from the improper acuon oi my muiicjp fered from severe pains in my back. I felt languid, bad a poor appetite and was restless at night. Doan's Kidney Fills, which my husband procured for me at Willis It. Partridge's drug store, brought for me prompt relief. Alter 1 had taken the contents of two boxes, the pains in my back ceased and 1 fell better in every way. I have since rec ommended Doan's Kidney Fills to many people and will continue to do so." (Statement given July 14. 1‘JO.Y) TIME IS THE TEST. On July lltii, 1!40S, Mrs. Church added to the above: "I have had no reason to alter my good opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills.

Real Estate Well Advertised is Halt Sold Telephone Talks A “prompt’’ answer turneth away wrath. You know how you (eel when you are kept waiting at the telephone. Remember: Example is belter than precept. “No One on the Line” It has been pointed out that there are three parties to a telephone conversation, namely, the person calling, the operator, and. last but not least, the person called. The operator has no authority to compel an answer to her summons. She simply forwards to your telephone a mechanical signal Interpreted, this means "Some one de sires to speak to you." It reiv.ams for you. the person called, to recognize this request. There are two strong reasons why you should answer promptly, ami both vitally concern you: 1. If you are slow in answering, the caller may hang tip the telephone and assume that you are not accessible. I,atcr, if you answer at your leisure, the operator can vouchsafe no in formation save that "there is no one on the line." Who called you? The operator probably does not know. Any operator in jour ex change may have called you, rather than the operator specially assigned to answer your calls. 2. From the moment the operator calling you "plugs in'' on your line until she ceases her effort to attract your attention. your line is "busy to all other callers. If you are dilatory, therefore, you are obstructing your own service. You ate also causing disappointment to your caller and annoyance to yourself. New England Tel. Tel. Go.

The discovery of the fire was made promptly but it was under considerable progress and before it was gotten under control the damage to building and contents amounted to about $1000, on which there was partial insurance. Reports from Brooksville where the people have been having so much trouble with forest (ires, state that the fires are now practically out. The heavy rains have left only now and then a smouldering stump and the owners of the land are endeavoring to have these quenched. Thousands of dollars will not repay the damage done, according to a Brooksville man who has been in Belfast, for the loss of woodland and forest in that section. While much of the land was covered by scrubby spruce, it was used as fuel and the fire has destroyed many a man's wood-lot on which he depended for his winter's supply. The building loss was not great, the largest being the cottage owned by Prof. Trull, which was one of the best in that sec tion of Brooksville. It is understood, however, that he will rebuild and that soon. FREEMAN. Mrs. Alice Matson of Skowheban vis ited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hqvey Kilkenny, at the east part of the tow n recently.

Sibley Answers Charges Made by Wm. R. Hearst. New York, Oct. 6.—Former Con gressman Joseph C. Sibley of Petiri svlvnnla tonight made public the fol lowing letter Iri connection with ref erences made to him in recent speeches of William R. Hearst: "To the public: "For 30 years last past, I have been, more or less, closely associated in business with John I>. Archbokl of the Standard Oil Co., and during the major portion of this period 1 have talked with hint and written to him with die freedom and frankness due to a busi ness associate and a persona! friend. My connection with the Standard Oii Co. was known before I entered public life and the three Presidents of our nation during my term of service were familiar with the fact of my business connection with the Standard Oil Co., as were my friends in the Senate and my colleagues in tiro House of Repre sentatives. Approximately 500,000 people who in two different congres sional districts of Pennsylvania select ed me as their representative in Con gress know precisely the relations ex isting between the Standard >il Co. and myself. My views on corporate prob lems have been no secret to any con stituent. colleague or official in gov ernment service. Rack of frankness in expression or courage to voice and vote my conviction on any public is sue has never been charged against me by anyone. Where I have differed with the President I have attempted to do so in a manly, outspoken man ner and I believe that 1 shared !ns confidence and respect and that at no time did I ever attempt to mislead him on any topic. "No colleague with whom 1 have had the honor to serve as a member ol the greatest legislative body in the world, will charge me with having ever per formed or with attempting to peiTmm an unworthy public action. While I am conscious of mistakes, they arc mis takes which reflect on one's .judgment and not upon his honor. Mr. Hearst has copies, I believe of every letter written by me to Mr. Archbold irom 190b to very nearly the close of my l- t in of public service. 1 therefore request that lie will do me the Justice to pub lish (hem one and all in their entirety and in their orderly and natural se liuence, giving; nates t letters ami not separating text from context. •'During the period covered by my letters, gn at problems In comnn rce end transportation reaching to the very Cent its of our industrial life as u nation and some of these problems affecting vitally the material int-rests of my constituents have been before Congress for solution. 1 spoke and voted against granting legislative, ex ecutive and Judicial powers to the In terstate Conuneree Commission. 1 la bored earnestly against the commodity clause of the rate bill and especially that portion of the commodity clause which forbade pipe lines to transport their own oil. This In the judgment of my constituents meant ruin to pro ducers of petroleum. I was fearful that the zeal of some untrained to commer cial life was leading toward experi ments in government which threatened disaster to American industries and did not hesitate to publicly express ray opinion and voice my opposition. hile niy letters written to a personal friend and business associate were not care fully edited for publication and may be tray tn> ignorance, my inexperience and lack of judgment, no letter of mine in Mr. Hcurst's possession or in any other man’s possession will reveal an unworthy motive or action 01 mine. ••Following a determination formed long years ago. I retired at the age of 51) from all active business. In 1905, I announced my determination to re tire from public life, though urged hy the people of my district not to do so. I voluntarily joined the ranks of pri vate citizenship. During my political career it was my lot to pass through some political campaigns that were waged with exceeding bitterness, but no man has charged me at any time or place with having a dishonorable dollar in my pos session, or a dollar to w hich lie held better title, or with ever having sought to wrong him in any financial trans action.

The question was wheth er we should enact laws that would dishonor us. Mr. Bryan told us then that he was essential to the safety of the country. We found out later that the safety of the country demanded his repudiation. When 1 think of it, I am reminded of a bishop who was descending in a bucket down a mine with a workman. When they had gone a long way down the workman asked jokingly: "Bishop, how far is it to Hell? Said the bishop: "If that rope breaks you will oe there in less than a minute.” nnh to rloctrfiv confidence and close up factories. We cannot afford to commit ourselves to vagaries and visionary schemes. The Democratic candidate seems to have a remedy for everything. If you don't like the one he shows you, well, he has another which might appeal to you. But. all of his remedies are un tried." ROOSEVELT IS SATISFIED.

You heard me called a dem agogue 12 year- ago. You saw them bury me and you heard them chant their songs over my grave and now they have to explain why it happened that I was not dead." With all tile fervor tti.it lie could muster, William J. Bryan, facing a vast assemblage, today delivered him self of this utterance. At no time dur ing the present campaign lias he spok en so earnestly or with such vigor. His rcurrli followed a bitter denunciation of Mr. Taft for refusing to agree to a publication of campaign contributions before election. “No honest man and no political party conducting an hon est campaign,” he declared, “need be afraid of the light." At Woodward he heaped ridicule on the Republicans, charging them with taking credit for the growth of crops, th«* shining of the sun and the bringing of rain. “In fact." he said, “they seize upon everything that they think gives a plausable excuse for voting the Re publican ticket.” At Maxwell he compared the grant ing of special privileges to a case of poison in the human system. Drawing large cheerying crowds all day in the course of his travels through the ..tate the Democratic candidate, never in better form, hurled defiance at his opponents and challenged them to met his arguments. Fifteen speeches and hand shaking with thousands con stituted his day's work, the concluding speech being made here tonight in the auditorium, which was filled to over flowing. They keynote of his principal remarks tonight was that Republican policit s meant disaster while Demo cratic polities meant prosperity. Mr. Bryan left at 11 o’clock for Chi cago.

Guffey tonight: Haskell’s statement that I ever dis ussed the Osage oil lease with the President is an absolute falsehood. The fact is, I never met or spoke to Pres ident Roosevelt but once, and that was at a reception and dinner given to him on July 4th, 1902, at the Schenec hotel at Pittsburg. That I am connected with the Standard Oil Co. is a lie more than SO years old, revived every once in a while by some scoundrel endeavoring to shield his own iniquities.” MACK COLLAPSES.

Si I strong spirit for independence. Ker leaders are well educated men, at first irained in Robert College at Constanti nople and in European and American nstitutions, and in these latter years in tier own gyntasia as well. The race is European by birth and by instinct and is naturally disinclined to be under the control of an Asiatic people, and espe cially under a Moslem power. This is not a sudden conclusion to which the country has come. The same declara tion of independence would have been made soon, even under the old Turkish regime. Recent events in Turkey only nake it apparent to the Bulgarians that the time was fully ripe for this step, so important to them, but making lit tle difference with Turkey. It would be most unwise for the Sul tan to attempt to retain his hold upon this able and ambitious race. They number about 4,000,000 souls, are united in their purpose and are prepared for a conflict. In any conflict that Turkey should precipitate at this time Bulgaria must surely win. She would be fighting for her independence; her people are wholly united; her soldiers are inured to the severity of the winters of the Balkans; they are perfectly familiar with the mountain fastnesses where the conflict must be waged; they are prepared for the conflict. "On the other hand Turkey is not prepared; her troops would necessarily be brought in from a warmer climate and could know little or nothing of the country; they would be the invaders; the Greeks and the Bulgarians, of which there are many in Macedonia, and would be hostile; Greece might even seize the opportunity to enlarge iter borders, and last but not least.
