Colonel Bryan at this point read the fa mous circular letter advertising the in corporation laws of Delaware. Ho com mented sarcastically on advantages set forth in the letter. A person in the audience inquired: "Del aware and New Jersey are both Demo cratic states, are they not?" to which Mr. Bryan replied: "They were not in 1SS6." He continued: "I have read this letter in order to show you that where a state can gain an advantage from the incorpora tion of these great aggregations of wealth, It is not safe to place the people of other states at the tender mercy of the people of such a state as may desire to secure its running expenses from the taxation of cor porations organized to prey upon people outside. "One method for the annihilation of trusts has occurred to me, and to me it seems a complete method. It may not commend itself to you. It is this: That congress should pass a law providing that no corporation organized in any state should do business outside of the state In which it is organized until it receives from some power created by congress a license authorizing it to 60 business out side of its own state. (Applause.) Now if the corporation must cofe to this body created by congress, to secure permission to do business outside the state, then that licenso can be granted upon conditions which will, in the first place, prevent the watering of stock: in the second Dlace, prevent monopoly in anv branch of busi ness; and, third, provide for publicity as to all the transactions and business of the conwratlon. "If it Is unconstitutional and so de clared by the supreme court, I am in favor of an amendment to the constitu tion that will give to congress power to destroy every trust In the country. The first condition which I suggested was that no water should be allowed in the stock. I do not believe that any state should per mit the organization of any corporation with a single drop of water in the stock of that corporation. Why should the cor poration be permitted to put out stock hat ropresents no real value. To man can defend stock that does not represent money invested, and only in the case of a monopoly can you secure dividends upon stock that does not represent money in vested. ""We had a case in Nebraska where we tried to regulate railroad rates, r and one railroad in our state was capitalized and bonded for more than ilve times what It would cost to duplicate the road, and yet the judge held that in fixing rates we had to consider the watered stock as well as the actual value of that road. "When the case went to the supreme court, a decis ion was rendered whichwas, in substance, that in determining what was a reason able rate we had to take into considera tion a number of things besides the pres ent value of that road, measured by the cost of reproduction, and you will find that if the watering of the stock is per mitted, then the cry of innocent purchaser is raised, and. you wjll be told that you must protect the man who 'bought this stook. My judgment is that no man can stand in the position of an Innocent pur chaser who buys stock In a corporation. If that stock Is not represented by actual money invested, because he can find out what the stock stands for if he tII1 only investigate. "If this license is granted, then the first conditions can be that any conwra tlon desiring tp do business outside of the state in which it is organized shall bring to that board or body proof that that stock Is bona fide and that there is no water in it. In my judgment, when you tales from monopoly thekpower to is sue stock not represented by money you will go no more than half the way tow ards destroying monopoly in the United States. You can provide for publicity and that annually or at other times the corporation shall make returns of its business and when you provide for pub licity so that tho public shall know just what there is in the corporation, you will go another long step towards the de struction of tho principle of monopoly. "A-third'condition: I suggest that this license shall not be granted until the corporation show thai, it has not had a monopoly and Is not attempting a mon opoly of any branch of industry or any article, of merchandise and then (provide that If the law is violated the license can be revoked. "low, I may be mistaken, but It has feomed to me that this method of deal ing with the trusts would prove an ef fective method. I do not say there shall be no private corporations, but I say that x corporation i screated by law. it is created for the public good and it should Marriage is said to ho an tmial -rnrfnr. fhip. Butthekiadofaoue-sidedpartner- SDip it real ly is, can not be bet tcr express ed than in that old saying, "A wife should double her husband's iovs and halve his sorrows." That's what is expected of a wife, and the won der of the world is that she conies so closely to expectation. For as a rule fmm the time rf raarriace onward, her body is daily drained of strength and her mind daily burdened by cares. She lies on the couch, her back aching, from female trouble, and gets up and puts on a smil ing face to meet her husband. Marriage can only be an equal partner ship when the drains and strains of mar ried life of the woman can be replaced by the perfect health of the delicate womanly organs. No woman need suf fer with inflammation, ulceration, debili tating drains or female trouble. There's an absolute cure for all these in Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes life a pleasure, does away with morning sickness, and makes the baby's advent easy and almost painless.

"Every unjust tax law is an indirect form of larceny. If we can secure a gov ernment whose foundations are laid in jubttice and laws exemplfying the doc trine of equality before the law, and then, under such government and such laws, wealth is accumulated to a point where it becomes dangerous, then we can meet that question when it arises, and I am willing to trust the wisdom of society to meet every Question that arises, and remedy every wrong. I have faith that these auestions will be settled,, and set tled right, but I want to protest against this doctrine that the truot is a natural outgrowth of natural laws. It is not true. The trust is the natural outgrowth of un natural conditions created by man-made laws. You cannot hide behind the doc trine that it is here and you cannot get rid of it. I believe that the American people can get rid of anything that they don't want, and that they ought to get rid of everything that is not" good. I be lieve that the Declaration of Indepen dence was the grandest document ever penned by human hands. The truths of that declaration are condensed Into four great propositions that all men are cre ated equal; that they are endowed with inalienable lights; that governments are Instituted among men to preserve those rights; and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov- erned. Such a government is impossible under an industrial aristocracy. Place the food and clothing ,and all that we can cat and wear and use, in the hands of a few people, and instead of being a government by the people, it will be a government of the syndicates, by the lish such a government and the people will 'soon be powerless to secure a legis lative remedy for any abuse. "I am not willing to place the laboring men of this country absolutely at the mercy of the heads of monopolies. When you control the price that a man is to. re ceive for what he produces, you control the price that he is to receive for the labor in the production of that thing. "Some people have tried to separate the laboring man who works in the factory from the laboring man who works on the farm. I warn the laboring men in the factories that when they join with the monopolies to crush the farmer, as soon as the farmer is crushed the laboring man will be crushed, and his ally will be destroyed, in a test of endurance, the farmer will stand it longer than the laboring man. The farmer was the first man on the scene when civilization began and he will bo the last one to disappear. "But, my friends, why should we try to see who could hold out the longest in suffering? For 100 years all nations have looked to this nation for hope and in struction. Let us settle these great (ques tions that we have; let us teach the world the blessing of a government that comes from the people and lot us show them how happy and how prosperous people can bo." At the conclusion the orator resumed his seat facing a sea of wildly waving arms and a storm of cheers. Three-quarters of the audience left when he had finished. James H. Raymond of Chicago followed with an address on "Monopolies Under Patents and the Industrial Effects There of." G. W. Northup, Jr., of Chicago, J spoko on "Practical Federal Remedies for. Industrial Trusts." Prof. David Kinley followed Mr. Northup with a reading of the statistics and opinions gathered in the answers sent to ques tions propounded to business and profes sional men the country over in regard to tho effect of trusts on wages and the prices of trust commodities. T. B. Walk er of Minneapolis followed, speaking on "Trusts from a Business Man's Ctand polnt." Tho conference then took a recess until 3 p. m. The afternoon session opened with ad dresses by Attorney General T. S. Smith of Texas and James B. Dill, who had a hand in the framing of the New Jersey trust law. A general discussion follow ed which resulted in both Colonel Bryan and Bourke Cockran taking the platform. W. D. Foulko of Indiana made a short speech, in which h declared that ho failed to see that the remedies proposed by Mr. Bryan in the latter's speech during tho morning session could result in the at tainment of the object sought for. Colonel Bryan, who was sitting in the gack part' of tho hall, arose and amid cheering started to reply. Before he had uttered a dozen words, however, cries of "Take tho platform!" came from all :parts of tho hall, and with n. smile he did so. Mr. Bryan said in part: "I would not occupy tho time again but for the fact that tho gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Foulke) has referred to a plan which I suggested and I am afraid that he does not fully understand. "My plan was this: First, that the state should have the right to c-eatc whatever rivwte corporations the people of tho state think best; second, that the state hasr should have, the risrht to impose"suc1i llmliationlrtipon an outside oorpojeaon as t1& people of the state nrav.Shjnk ne?sjary for thrfr protection; thlwUgihfft tnejfederal government has, or should. havSjfchc right to Impose such restrictions as congress may thkik neces- ary upon any corporations which doc business outside of -the state in which it is organized. In other words I would pre serve to the people of the state all the rights they now have, and at the amo time have congress exercise a concurrent remedy to supplement the tato remedy. I would not take away from tho people ?vf the state any right now existing but I would have the federal government and the state government exercise the powor that may be necessary to annihilate tho monopoly. I do not agree wRih the gen tleman tht you can not annihilate a monopoly. I have no doubt that any remedy that "I proposed would be assaulted. If those who believe tba the trust must re main, aad those who believe that the trusts means good, wm accept the best remedy they can find, try it and then accept a better one if a better one is proposed, aunl keep on trying until the people are protected, the monopoly would be overcome. "Now. I am not sure the remedy I pro pose 1 constitutional. I am not sure that the constitution would prohibit such aa ac of congre-s as I suggest. Suppose c sion'd say. whenever a corpora tion wants t) do business outside the state, that It imt apply to and receive Crora somebody c-eated by congresa for the purpose a Hceoe to do business. Sup pe the law should provide three con dition'? 112 n which the license should be issued: First, that the evidence shall follow that there Is no water, in, the stock; second, that the evidence should show that this corporation has not in the past and i3 not attempting now to monopolize any branch of industry or a branch of any article of merchandise, and, third, providing for that publicity which every body has spoken of and about which everybody agrees. Suppose that is done. Who Is here to say that such a law would be unconstitutional? Thfr supreme court in deciding the Knight case did not say that a broader law than the present one would be unconstitutional. It is true there are things in the decision which lead to that, but until that question Is presented to the court you cannot say the court has passed upon It. "But, suppose the law Is passed and Is held unconstitutional, then we can amend the constitution. The gentleman suggests that It is a difficult thing to get two-thirds 'of both houses to favor amendments, and three-fourths of the states. That is true, it is a difficult thing, but if the people want to destroy the trusts you can get two-thirds of both houses and three-fourths of the states. But what is the alternative? Sit down and do nothing .allow them to trample on you and ride rough-shod over you, and then thank God that you still have some life left? Is that the only remedy? "I do not believe it necessary for us to sit down quietly and permit a great ag gregation of wealth to strangle every competitor. I do not believe that It is in accord withour dignity a3 a peopleor in accordance with the rights of tho people, to say, because a great corporation is organized, that therefore It should be permitted to go into the field of a new corporation and undersell it until it bank rupts raising the money by high prices somewhere else. I do not think it Is necessary for us to do that. I have only suggested a plan. It may not be the best jtlan. If you have anything better, pro pose it. If there is any amendment that you can think of that will Improve it, suggest it I am anxious to accept any thing. "Let me suggest one other thing that I believe will be a step in the right direc tion. The great trouble has been that while our platforms denounce corpora tions control the elections and place under obligation to them the men who are elected to enforce the law. (Ap plause). "Let me propose a remedy not a rem edy, but a step, I think, in the right di rection. Let the laws, state and national, make it a penal offense for any corpora tion to contribute to the campaign fund of any political party. (Continued cheers and applause). Nebraska has such a law, passed two years ago. Tennessee has .such a law, passed two years ago. Such a law was passed, or was Introduced in the state of New York, but so far it has hot reached the stage of actual law in the state of New York. (Laughter). "Now, I believe it is a step in the right direction. You remember the testimony taken before a senate committee a few years ago when the head of the Sugar Trust testified that the Sugar Trust made it a business to contribute to campaign funds; and when asked, to which one it contributed, replied that it depended upon circumstances. 'To which fund do you contribute in Massachusetts?' was asked. 'To the Republican fund' 'To which fund in Isew York?' 'To the Demo cratic fund.' 'To which fund in New Jersey?' and the man says, 'Well, I will have to look at the books, that Is a doubtful state.' (Laughter and applause). Now, that is almost a literal production of the testimony of one great corporation on the subject of, campaign contribution. I do not mean to say that the remedy would be a complete one, but I believe it would prevent a corporation from con tributing to campaign funds that you take a step in the right direction toward better legislation, because some corpora tions are compelled to contribute. They are blackmailed into contributions and such a law wouTd protect a corporation that did not want to contribute and also prevent a corporation from contributing that did not want to contribute. If the people are in earnest they can do it and you never could do anything in this coun try until tho peoplo are in earnest and when tho American peoplo understand what the monopoly question means, I be lieve that there will be no pewer, politi cal, financial or otherwise, to prevent the people from taking possession of every branch of government from president to the supreme court and making the gov ernment responsible to the people's will." (Great cheers and applause). At the conclusion of Colonel Bryan's ad dress. Bourke Cockran arose and started to speak from his seat in the hall, but in response to cheers and calls to "come to the front," he took the platfojrm. Mr. Cockran said, in part: "Just ono moment while I express my complete concurrence in much that Mr. Bryan has said. If there be a monopoly that oppresses, I believe tthat there is no constitutional limitation, there is no pro vision of government, there Is no power on earth, against theso people redressing o. wrong, when it becomes a wrong. The question to which I think the attention of this conference should be directed is whether the one exists and where It Is. Now who is hurt, and where? Why has this octupus got possession of somebody? On whom is It acting? I am free to con fess that what you call an aggregation of capital a combination a hydra-head-od monster an octopus it doesn't cast any light upon it that illuminates my pathway. I can understand how the use of tihesc phrases can have some effect as nothing frightens people so much as in comprehensible names Lot a note be heard now that none of us understand, and we will all be going out of the win dow. Now, men can be put to intellect ual and physical flight by the terrtfyirg noises of sound. Wht is that we hear? Are we doing pretty well? Well, we have had here representatives of labor organi zations who have been telling 113 that wages axe hlctier today thin, they ever have been. Certainly they do not appear to suffer. We are told that It is not the dollar that we want, bat we want the man. Well, what is the purpose of the dollar if not to Improve the condition of the man? fLaurtrter.) If ?m want com petition, must not somebody succeed In It? Will yon suppress the nUa tocaaee he eccis another so far that he constitutes a monopoly Are you going to ptece lia ks upon excellency? "We seem to have drifted Into an at mospiiGro of bigness concerntag what is called the evils of monopolies. Now there hae not been an evil given the hrt? been attributed here against whkfe. If it exist ed, I would not be onUered under the baa aer of those to suppress it. I! h be an evil thing, if you oaa efaow evil upon it. I do not aoitee to adopt Hr. Bryan's romeoy.

I say yoa are iatp?y cre ating a fanciful picture: vowr exoosstre affection for your fellows has coojared a grade of evils that exist only in your own brain. "If tvq realize for the moment that this Is an age of improvement, that the con ditions of men are growing better and better, we ought to hesitate a while be fore we change' and take the side, may be, of fanciful experiments." Great cheering -greetd the conclusion of Mr. Cockran's speech. General discussion was then resumed. Ex-Senator-Blair of New Hampshire and William Wirt Howe of New Orleans read short papers. Soon after, on the motion of" Congressman John W. Gaines of Tennessee, the con ference passed a vote of thanks to the Civic Federation for the courtesy shown the visiting delegates. The conference then adjourned sine die. ANT1-TRUSTERS ORGANIZE They Will Cnll a Convention of Their Oirn in Due Time. Chicago, Sept. 18. Action looking tow ard the formation of anti-trust organiza tions in all sections of the country was taken at a meeting of delegates to the trust conference opposed to the trusts, at a meeting held tonight after the adjourn ment of the trust conference. The meet ing, which was largely attended .effected a temporary organization and an execu tive committee was appointed to build up the organization in all part3 of the coun try and to arrange for an early anti trust convention. The organization which, it was announced was to be national in scope and non-partisan, was to be amal gamated with the National Trust league. The executive committee Is as follows: M. L. Lockwood, Pennsylvania, chairman; William Prentiss, Illinois; P. E. Dow, New York; Dudley G. Wooten, Texas; A. McQuirk, Iowa; W. B. Fleming, Ken tucky. This committee was authorized to increase its number by the admission of governors of states and prominent anti trust leaders of all political convictions. The organization was the result of the adoption of a recommendation by a com mittee appointed for the purpose on Thursday. The plan of organization em bodied in the recommendation was as fol lows: "Your committee recommend that an executive committee be appointed and authorized to appoint one vice president from each state and territory and one from each national organization repre sented in this conference "as additional members of said committee; that said committee proceed at once to call a na tional anti-trust convention for the organization of a permanent national body and that the call for said national organization shall include not only mem bers of the temporary organization but all those in sympathy with the move ment "The purpose of the organization Is to bring new timber into the present Na tional Anti-Trust League," said Chair man Lockwood. "We propose to carry out the work against trusts begun by us at the conference. We will organize in all sections of the country and we hope to have a national convention within a few months." A meeting of the executive committee will be held here tomorrow and plans for perfecting the organization discussed. -C3-QwS'S7Cp3EiL3:ufi8u.

Washington, Sept lJ-The" president re ceived in audience at the White House this afternoon Mr. John George Leigh, who has spent several months in Samoa as special correspondent of the London Times and is now on his return journey to England. While in one of the black villages of Upolua Mr. Leigh learend that a watch, believed to have Deiongeu 10 either Lieutenant Lansdale or Ensign Monaghan, the two officers of the United States cruiser Philadelphia who were killed during the recent war against Ma. taafa, had been found and was In the possession of a native. He at once com municated with Mataafa whom he had visited only a fewdays previously, and promptly received 4k reply from the high chief assuring him that no effort would be spared to recover the relic and begging him, should the search prove successful to restore tho watch to tho rightful owner, "with my heartfelt condolences." He added: "You know what I feel about America and the late unhappy war." At the same time ho placed at Mr. Leigh's command his grandson and a boat's crew who were instructed to carry In every ne cessary direction Mataafa's orders to his adherents. While these messengers were in the island of Savaii a watch and chain with locket and other articles attached were handed to Mr. Leigh and identified as the property of tho late Lieutenant Lansdale. A few days later the corre spondent left Samoa for San Francisco, where he met the young -widow of the la mented officer and placed the trinkets in her possession. Long ago, at the instig ation of her family and of Lansdale's comrades in the navy, unsuccessful ef forts had been made to trace the articles so hope that they would ever be found had practically been abandoned. Mr. Leigh this afternoon handed to the president a letter from Mataafa of which 1 the following Is a translation: "To his excellency, William McKinley, president of the United State3 of Ameri ca. "Your excellency: I have today been in formed that a watch has been found by one of my people which is believed to have belonged to Lieutenant Lansdale or Ensign J. R. Monaghan. who were un happily killed in battle at "Vallele on April 1. I have learned that Mr. Leigh is about to leave Samoa for America and I have asked him to convey the watch to your excellency In the hope that you will cause It to be restored to the be reaved mother or nearest relative of the brave and lamented officer. Mr. Leigh will tell you that I have sincerely de plored the sad, untimely death of the brave offcers and men who came from America and perished la the late un happy (useless) war. My sorrow is the more because of the great friendship which your great country has in the past extended to Samoa. I am especially an xious that this should be made known Xa the sadly striken mother and relatives. May it be the will of God that thre will never again be strife between America and the Samoans and that the three powers will recocnize my submission to their wilt ad desire for good govern ment. I pray God may give you long Itfe. "T. J. MATAAFA." Mr. McKinley in the course of conver- i sation with Mr. Leigh, expressed himself much gratified at this proof of Mataafa's thoughtful humanity and said that it would afford hhn more than ordinary pleasure to personally respond to the let ter. Wbea Mr. Leigh left Samoa active endeavors were being made to reoovrr KnsJga Monaghan's watch and Mr. Leigh bUevuS that ft. will follow him to Wash ington by the mail due in a week or co.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT Is Kxplainedj Uith the Assurance That There In So Apprehfinwloii 2Cew York, Sept. 16. Weekly bank statement: Surplus reserve, decrease $2, 183,475; loans, decrease $7,854,400; specie, decrease $5,05O,60O; legal tender.- decrease $SS6,G00; deposits, decrease $15,505,700; cir culation, increase $15S,700. The banks now hold $275,450 in excess of legal require ments. New York, Sept. 16. The Financier says: "The clearing house banks of New York, according to their report for the week ending September 16, lost about $6, 000,000 in cash, as a result of the previous six days' operations. tMore than half of this was absorbed by the treasury and the rest went to the interior. The banks reported September 9, less than 53,000,000 cash over legal requirements, so that the decrease for the current week was larger than tho available fund from which to draw it. The result, needless to say, was accomplished by a heavy contraction in loans, with a resultant shrinkage in de posits. Desplto the loss, therefore, the banks still hold $275,450 more than re quired by law. Practically they have reached the limit of their power to sup ply new money, and future demands must be met by renewed operations of the character named that Is, borrowers -vill be called upon to liquidate their in debtedness. This oreshadows, naturally, a continued ihard money market, al though rates do not seem to be able to hold over G per cent under circum stances that ordinarily would Indicate a money famine. The truth of the mat ter Is that the situation is so well un derstood that there Is no apprehension whatever. If money works much higher in iNew HTork, the idle surpluses which the held elsewhere will be quickly for warded to this center, Itn a consequent lessening pressure. The trouble, from a banking standpoint, is the heavy drain which the treasury is making on the banks. The loss since the end of July has been upward of $17,000,000, a sum much greater than h?-s gone to the In terior. Once this drain is relieved, a'l trouble over the future will be elimi nated. At present, however, it is a seri ous factor. One year ago, It may be re marked, the 'excess reserve of the New York banks was only about $5,000,000. but i a few weeks later the total nna risen to over $20,000,000. Gold imports assisted in creating this increase. There Is no im mediate sign that last year's method of recuperation is to be repeated now."

This last point made his remarks especially appropriate to the occasion and very in teresting to the teachers, who listened at tentively throughout his brief address. DIr. Phillips began by saying that his com I any was mostly made up of college stu dents, and they studied particularly the methods of learning In the Philippines, if the people over there could be said to Jiave a method at all. The insurgents had grown up, most o them, with no Idea of learning. He said tne little Filipino children would often hunt up the American camps and endeavoi in their rude manner to learn someth'ng, .and that they wore so hungry for knov.1 e ige that they would approach an Ameri- an soldier and point to their eyes, ears, nose and mouth and ask them the names ii English of the respective organs. After the Insurgents are subdued, vhich he i nought -would be after the rainy season U iover, and the Island comes absolutely under American control, the American tchool system vIll be established, and Tvhat a blessing that will be for the be nighted -natives. Education -Rill help -hem to a higher plane and a great ana mble duty will have been performed by transforming the natives from mental darkness to a mental and moral light. Mr, Phillips described the trip to the Orient, how they stopped at Honolulu at the time the Hawaiians were celebrating i-r the passage of the treaty of annexa t'on by the United States congress. The oldiers took In the city and played a ?amfas baseball for the delight of the i atlves and others of the city. He described minutely the city of Manila ,"nd the country round about it On their j" turn the Tenth Pennsylvania stopped at Hong Kong and Tokio. At Tokio the sol uens were allowed to spend about eigh teen hours ashore and had a delightful T me in the city, visiting many interesting fcenes. Mr. Phillips said it begins to look now 1 ke Uncle Sam Intends to push the cam 1 aign in the Philippines. He said there 5 no doubt tout that hard work would boon accomplish the complete overthrow of the j atlves. Thy could have been whipped i to submission ere this had it not been r the humanitarian principles exer exist I ig in the (breasts of the American offl- ra. They would not slaughter the Fili Z nos- and would reort to almost any lurse tefore laying the country waste nd unmercifully punishing the inhabit ants. The young soldier's remarks were highly r predated by the teachers and when he "iad finished his remarks he was warmly nptauded. "V. M. Sence, a teacher at "3Taysville, offered a motion to extmd a vote of thanks to Mr. PhlJUps for his tplendid talk and it was unanimously ac corded him. Regarding the reception tendered to Mr. Phillips on his return to his home at Mul--v ane last Tuesday night, and the big apple Tie which was made especially for the occasion, the Mulvane Record says: "Mulvnne has seen many parties and fecial functions during her history as a twn, "but nothing that equaled the recep tion given Artie Phillips at his home last I rlday evening. The attendance -r as only r-gulated to the numfcer able to walk, 'ir no one able to get there stayed away. The threatening weather did not lesen thft crowd or fh onthnsbum nf tVn t.t. v.i ire..-i rle. The program as published last week was -carried out as far as possible, al-1 though several of the speeches were mAde i'i a downpour of rain. The biggest thing o" the evening was the supper. Seven 3i JndTed people partook of chicken, salads, ,'les, cakes, and every good thing Imagina 1 le. mnd stll! there was some left. For dessert they had a pie designed by John T-ogan and built by Sam Foudray, that a as Ave fet Ion and two feet wide. This 'in contained two and a half bushels of -pies, ten pounds of flour, the same of igar. six of lard and two of butter. It w as the biggest and best pie ever baked n the state, but it didn't last longer than kc of beer in a prohibition town. Muslo by the band and McKee's orches 4 -a enlivened the occasion.

They were the first American concern to hear of the wonderful discovery soon as it was jjiven the public in France, and at once sent a trusted representative to Paris, who secured the exclusive rights for the preparation in North America. The past year "Calthos" has become as famous in America as it Is throughout Europe. Over one hundred thousand sufferers of lost manhood in all its most terrible forms have been cured, and have written the Vcn Mohl Co., telling of the joy they experience in hav ing the functions of perfect manhood restored. Not one of these letters have been, or will be made public, because the Von Mohl Company has made it an imperative rule to treat all correspondence of the Calthos department of their business sacredly and confi dentially. Every year letters from patients arc destroyed, and among- their patrons are many men with national reputations ia public and private affairs. The Voa Mohl Company has just imported 100,000 treatments c! "Calthos" fresh from Prof. Jules Laborde, the greatest physician in all France and the great discoverer of this remedy, and now invitee all men suffering from Lost Manhood, Spermatorrhoea, Varicocele, Small Parts or Weakness of any nature in the Nerve3 or Sexual Organs, to send their names and receive a five days' .treatment of CALTHOS."

CURIOUS TO SEE FRANK JAMES People WVnt tt Peep at Famous Train Ilobbcr, Frank James, the living representative of that famous brace of Missouri outlaws, is making money on his reputation this summer following a new line. He is act ing as "starter" at tho races being held all over the country, and has proved a drawing card wherever he has been em ployed. Just why people will pay 50 cents and go in crowds only to see tho re formed outlaw would be hard to say; but tho truth is as many people go to see Frank James as to the races. He is paid $40 a day and expenses, and says he is willing to make the money as long a3 the people are curious to see him. "Of course It can't last long," he smil ingly admits, "and I need the money. There have "been so many hard things said of tho 'James 'boys' already that I guess I can stand tihe remarks about my posing as an ex-outlaw. The fact is, I never thought of making any money out of a past that T should Just as soon forget, (but tho public seems to want to see me." Frank James is 56 years old, and as mild mannered a man as one could wish to see. He speaks with a very noticeable southern accent, and has a better educa tion than had his brother Jesse, His wifo was Annie Ralston, daughter of one of the best families of Independence, Mo. They were married before he became an outlaw, at a time when the youthful MIs sourian was brim full of patriotic fervor. Ho has a son 23 years old who Is a vol unteer doing duty at Manila and who ha3 already won some distinction for his brav ery and obedience. Frank is very proud of his iboy, and always carries a photo graph of the young soldier in his un'fonn to show his friends. "The boy will make it up to Uncle Sam for my misdeeds," he says, with a smile in which there scorns a wtetful regret Jesse James' widow and her only son. Jesse James, Jr.. live at Kanas City. He married Miss Zerelda Mimms, his" own cousin. Newspaper comment has ascribed to the people of Missouri much misplaced 'ym pathy for the James boy. The truth is they are so closely related to so many of the best people in the river count'? that a sort of clannlshnes holds thra to gether by a tie that i "thicker than wa ter." It runs in the blood of eortaj'n peo ple to be able to disclaim their own kin. even though deploring Ibe unhappv fac ings of thoee black sheep relations. ARRANGING ONE FOR GUTHRIE 3Ir.
