TWO CENTO. 3 I BRYAN ISN OHIO Makes a Tolnt About Coercion of Railroad Men. Reads Dispatch Concerning Ac tion on the Big Four. THREATEN WITH A CUT Wages Go Down Ten Per Cent If lie Is Elected. Worse Than Act of Ward Heel ers He Says. Newark. O.. Oct. 21. "I say to you that the little ward heeler who eoes round and bribes a man for five dol lars is a moral character beside the man who attempts to use his power to threaten those who work for him and to buy them by a promise of increase or threaten them by a promise to de crease." Thoroughly aroused by what he termed a "new menace" through the publication today of a press dispatch stating that the omclals of the New Tork Central lines had summoned their workmen and informed them that if the Democrats won the election there would be a 10 per cent reduction in wages, but that if they lost there would be an increase, William J. Bryan in a before breakfast speech to a vast throng; poured a volley of criticism into the Republican party for its campaign tactics. He threw into his utterances all the vigor he could muster and his words were greeted with loud cheers. The second invasion of the native state of his Republican opponent was begun by Mr. Bryan at this place, he having coming direct from Louisville, Ky., during the night. The programme for the day Includes stops at Mount Ver non, Mansfield, Ashland. Creston, Akron, Ravenna, Warre.n Nlles. Youngstown, Kast Liverpool. Bellaire. Wellsville. Stuebenvllle, and Marietta, O.. conclud ing at 9:45 tonight with a stop at Wll liamstown, W. V'a. In his remarks here Mr. Bryan said in part: Glad to Be III Olilo. "I am glad to come again in Ohio. I am glad to come at a time when Democratic prospects are so bright that even the Republican national commit tee Is compelled to confess that the Republican candidate must come back to fight for his own state. He went out west to fight for the west, but he now finds that he has difficulty enough at home and can not spare any time for the west. I am glad they are begin ning to realize the forces that they have to contend against and the great est obstacle they have Is the record of the party that they must defend. Twelve years of power with a president eulogized in the platform and a senate that they can not apologize for and house presided over by a despot and yet they can not defend their record. Twelve years of power complete, they have been able to pass every law they wanted to pass, to repeal every law they wanted to repeal and they have had Republicans on nearly all the fed eral benches and yet what Is their con dition. They feel that in every state of this Union the tide is running against them and they face deserved defeat for their betrayal of the Ameri can people by their officials. They have disappointed the laboring man; they have refused to listen to his plea; they have denied him the remedies that he deserves and now when embittered by disappointment and indignant at mis treatment the laboring man attempts to show his citizenship, declare his in dependence and register his protest at the polls they proceeded with their at tempts at coercion. "This morning's paper gives an il lustration of attempted coercion." Tlirent to Railroad Men. He then read from a dispatch in a Columbus paper which stated that 500 workmen of the Big Four railroad at Bellefontaine, part of the New York Central system, had been called to gether in the shops and notified that if Bryan was elected there would be a 10 per cent reduction in wages and that if Taft was elected there would be on incrense in both pay and work. The dispatch stated that these officials were making a tour of the entire system for the purpose of making the same an nouncement to all the employes. "There, my friends," said Mr. Bryan, "Is the statement in a Republican paper of the threats made by the officials of a great railroad system. They threaten to punish men for voting the Demo cratic ticket by a 10 per cent cut in their wages and they promise to in crease their pay and their work if they will vote the Republican ticket. I say to you that the little ward heeler who goes around and bribes a man for five dollars is a moral character beside the man who attempts to use his power to threaten those who work for him and to buy them by a promise of increase or threaten them by a promise of de crease. I want the American people to understand that we have something like a million and a half of railway em ployes and If the managers of these roads can enter politics and coerce that many men then Independent elections are passed in this country and if these men can put Into office men hostile to the laboring man any antagonistic leg islation that they desire they can se cure. Tlint Cabinet Place. "The Republican party has refused to give the laboring man a place in the presidents cabinet when our party promised him that If we succeeded there will be a spokesman for the wage earner In the president's coun cil chamber. When I say to the labor ing man that if I am elected I want one of their representatives in my cabinet to advise with me about la bor; when I say that these men representing the railroads go out and tell you that unless you are willing to relinquish your claim to representa tion In the cabinet they will redMce vour wages and make your compensa tlon smaller than it is, we tell the laboring men that if we win we will amend the anti-trust law so as to take the labor organization out from under the oDeration of that law and now come thes heads of railroads to tell their employes that If they dare to ask for relief from this anti-trust law they will be punished by a reduction of wages. We say in our platform that If we win we will limit the writ of in junction so that a labor dispute will hot in itself be a sufficient groun. for In a Issuance of that writ, that there must be something done; there must be conditions that would Justify that writ even if they were no labor dis putes before it shall be used in such a dispute and now come the heads of these great corporations and notify these men that If they dare to ask for relief from this writ of injunction under those circumstances they will be punished by a reduction of wages. "We say In our platform that we are in favor of trial by Jury In cases of Indirect contempt and now come these heads of corporations and tell these laboring men that this trial by Jury which is guaranteed to a con victed criminal, shall not bo given to the laboring man and if he dares to raise his voice in protest he shall be lashed into submission by a reduction of his wages. "In this case there is no shadow of an excuse for threat because our platform specifically declares that no rate reductions shall be made which will compel a reduction of wages. We give a guarantee to the laboring man. a guarantee that he has not before been given by the present administra tion. "That Is what this all means, my friends. They tell you that if I am elected business will be bad. Let them give bond that business will be good If I am defeated. They have no way of securing against the failure of their predictions. Let them show that they have been annolnted proph ets and have a right to tear away the veil and tell you what lies before you. Who is this man whose election is to be a balm in Gilead and remove all financial distress? He is the member of the president's cabinet whom the president appointed to be his successor. If he could not last fall prevent a panic when he was in the cabinet, how can he prevent one next fall merely by raising him a little higher. If he and the president tneether could not protect you from tne panio lasi fall, how can he hope to do it all alono If the president deserts him and hides himself in the jungles of South Africa hunting tigers?" Talks to Students. Observing among the crowd a num ber of students, Mr. Bryan said to them that he had discussed the labor question as he had because of "this new menace to their independence." Addressing himself specifically to the students, Mr. Bryan said that they build their lives upon Ideals. "The young man," he said, "who is prepar ing for a career is learning, or he ought to learn, that there is but one thing that Is invincible and that Is truth. He ought to learn that truth will triumph in time every obstacle. With his Ideals he is interested in pure politics, all he wants Is a chance and he is willing to take his chance under fair conditions and under equitable laws. "I want these young men to under stand the contest which lies before us. I have been nominated without the aid of a president. No man with an army of officeholders was behind me to coerce men into my support. I had no great corporation to threaten Its employes if they did not favor my nomination. I had no rich relatives to put up money for the circulation of eulogies of mo. I have had to fight my way from the time I was a school boy and I have had nothing to build upon except the confidence of those who believed with me that I be lieved what I said and would be faith ful If entrusted with power and now I have been made the candidate of my party Just as one or these school boys may be made the candidate of his party In the years to come and I ask these school hoys if they are interested enougn in purifying politics so that a man can have a chance to make a fight for the people and not have an election bought away from him by the secret contributions of predatory wealth which are not to be known un til the people have voted. We are making an honest fight. We are giv ing you the names of our contributors. We are putting in our platform what we think ought to be done. We are appealing to the Intelligence and to the Judgment of the American people and all we ask is that every citizen shall be allowed to think as he pleases and then allow men to vote as he thinks. That is our platform, our plan. We leave our case with you." WEARrbFlHiTTRAMP. t'nemployed Vho will Not Work to New York. Oct. 21. Drastic meas ures to rid the city of its "hobo" army will be advocated at a special meeting of city and charity organization offi cials to be held in the rooms of the charity organization society tomorrow. The influx of vagrants from other cit ies has increased so steadily since last winter that Robert W. Ebbard, com missioner of charities, has asked Po lice Commissioner Bingham and Mag istrate Barlow to aid In coping with the situation. While It is admitted that many un employed are anxious to find work, not one of the applicants to the city lodging houses In the last week was willing to accept the positions offered by Super intendent Yorke. In each case the men claimed thatnhey did not care to work outside of New York. A call for farm hands met with no answers, and even work at the wood yard Is being re fused. At the meeting tomorrow one of the plans to be urged to drive vagrants from the city will be to ask the co operation of the magistrates, the police and the department of correction, so thnt "hoboes" can be sent to Black wells Island, where it is planned to erect temporary barracks for the men. who will be compelled to break stone. To prevent men who are anxious to work from being sent to the island, the chanty officials will investigate their references and then send the men to places where labor is needed. FRIENDS OF INDIAN.

TAYLORJ ALIVE. Escaped Murdercus Night. Rid ers by Jumping in Lake. He Arrires at TiptonTille Safe and Uninjured. MILITIA ORDERED OUT Governor Patterson Issues Law and Order Address. Offers $10,000 Reward for Ap prehension of Assassins. Tiptonville. Tenn.. Oct. 21. Un harmed save numerous scratches re ceived in a 30-hour trip throug un familiar woods and the fatigue Inci dent to the trip without food and the mental strain. Judge Zachary Taylor reached here today after a miraculous escape from night riders at Reel Foot lake, who murdered his partner, Cap tain Quenten Rankin. night before last. Judge Taylor's escape is due to a daring dash for liberty while the night riders were disputing among them selves the best way to kill him. During the heat of the discussion at a mo ment when the guard's attention was diverted. Judge Taylor broke for free dom. Dashing a few yards to the bank of a shallow inlet of Reel Foot lake, he plunged in. A fusillade of bullets followed the fugitive, whose figure was dimly dis cernible in the growing dawn of ap proaching daylight. Wading and swim ming, the aged attorney pushed for ward. Bullets and shot fell on every side, but none struck him. Near the bank opposite the firing night riders Judge Taylor threw up his hands and pitched forward heavily over a log and lay inert. Hundred of shots were fired into the log by the night riders, but not one penetrated far enough to injure him. Satisfied that their victim had met death and fearing that the re peated sound of shots would arouse too many residents in the neighbor hood, the night riders did not attempt to cross the slough to examine the body, but left the scene after about 300 shots had been fired. Judge Tay lor, however, lay for hours in the mud' and water, fearing that some one had been left to watch. At dawn cautious ly looking up and seeing that his ruse had been successful. Judge Taylor arose and plunged into the underbrush to fight his way to a friendly com munity. Avoiding paths which might lead to some unfriendly clearing. Taylor pushed his way slowly through the dense woods. For hours he trav eled in this manner, the sun his only guide. When night came Taylor, still afraid to approach a house, made his couch on a bed of leaves and slept until early morning. About 8 o'clock this morning Judge Taylor deciding that it would then be safe for him to make inquiry at a farm house, follow ed a path which shortly led into a rough road. Within a few minutes the fleeing man came upon the home of Luther Rankin; overseer for the exten sive Harris estate, and where the fugi tive was given breakfast. Mr. Rankin then rode to the nearest telephone and sent a message into Tiptonville with the news that Judge Taylor was safe. Soon after Taylor and Mr. Rankin ar rived here, being met a few miles from town by a posse of citizens. After being informed at Union City of the safety of Colonel Taylor, Gover nor Patterson telephoned that he would start for Tiptonville imme diately. Militia Ordered Out. Union City. Tenn., Oct. 21. Gover nor Patterson who arrived last mid night began early today to direct operations toward apprehension of those concerned in the murder of Cap tain Rankin at Reel Foot lake. One hundred and fifty militiamen under command of Col. W. E. Tatom, ar rived early today and will be dis tributed throughout the district. Governor Patterson gave out the following statement: "I have offered the largest reward the law will permit for the arrest and conviction of the assassins and have ordered out the troops. I have be lieved that the militia should be the last resort in a state governed by law but the time has now come when it Is my duty as governor to use all the power at my command to restore or der in the region where these assassinations have occurred and to assist the courts in the apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators. It must be taken by all as a purpose deliberately formed, 1 hope no man or body of men anywhere in the state will fall to understand it. "We have had enough of lawless acts, of threats, intimidation and other methods of terrorizing citizens and communities. This should be stopped and must be stopped, or the con sequences will have to be accepted. For the present I have left the cam paign for the governorship, believing the upholding of law and order in our state is of more importance than political discussions." MONETT TELLS WHY. Left Republican Party Because of Standard Oil Affiliations. Salt Lake City. Utah. Oct, 21. Frank S. Monnett. former attorney general of Ohio, addressed a large meeting of Utah Dem ocrats at the Salt Lake theater last night. Mr. Monnett. after discussing the prin cipal Issues of the campaign, said: "The reason I left tbe Republican party and advocate the election of Mr. Bryan Is due to the fact that while X was prose cuting the Standard Oil trust In Ohio and with every reason to expect a successful issue, the Republican campaign fund of Ohio was swelled by contributions from the Standard Oil company and In return that company was allowed to name the Mrsonnel of the supreme court of Ohio, whereupon all of the Standard Oil cases were promptly dismissed. "Then." said Mr. Monnett, "I became a Democrat." Harriman Is Re-elected. New York. Oct. 21. Directors of the Union Pacific Railroad company and of the Oregon short line have re-elected their officers, including E. H. Harri man as president of both companies. TOGO 1STHE HOST Admiral Gires a Garden Party for Americans. One of Most Elaborate E?er Held in Tokio. CHEER THE EMPEROR. Visitors Lead Demonstration for Japanese Ruler. Fleet Will Leave Yokohama on Next Saturday. Tokio, Oct, 21. Two official lunch eons. Admiral Togo's magnificent gar den party, a dinner by Premier Kat sura and a ball at his residence, were the principal features among the in numerable efforts of lavish entertain ment offered the officers and men of the American battleship fleet today. The garden fete at which Admiral Togo was host, was one of the most elaborate functions of Its kind ever seen In Tokio. It was held in the grounds of the Shinjiku Imperial gar dens, which are the property of the empress and which comprise about 1.000 acres of lawn, broken by woods and water and with vistas equalling those of the park at Versailles. The invitations numbered 1.500 and the guests included all the American offi cers of higher rank and Japanese from every walk in life. Thomas J. O'Brien, the American ambassador. Rear Admiral Sperry and the other admirals were seated at one table when the banquet was spread under a huge awning. Ambassador O'Brien proposed the health of the emperor, which was received with three cheers led by the officers of the American fleet. The souvenirs dis tributed were silver gilt cloisonne pin badges with the Japanese and Ameri can flags in colored enamel lnter wined. Dined by War Minister. One of today's luncheons was given by Lieutenant General Viscount Terauchi. minister of war, at the arsenal gardens and was attended by Ambassador O'Brien, Rear Admirals Sperry and Emory and half the of ficers. The other 'was the entertain ment of Baron Mitsui, one of the richest men of the empire at the Mitsui club. It was attended by Secretary Peter C. Jay of the Amer ican embassy, Rear Admirals Schoeder and Wainwright and the re mainder of the officers. Both affairs were unusually elaborate. Viscount Terauch, in proposing the health of Rear Admiral Sperry and welcoming the American fleet, said that in courage and patriotism the Ameri cans and the Japanese -were singularly alike. He expresses firm belief that the nations would draw closer to gether until a disturbance was impos sible and peace would, consequently be forever maintained. Rear Admiral Sperry responded in like terrrrs. his forcible utterances at time exciting the officers to a whirl of exuberant enthusiasm. It has been definitely de cided that the fleet will leave Yoko hama on next Saturday, October 24. The death of Ernest Grover, an ordinary seaman on the Kentucky, from some cause unknown Is being made the subject of investigation by a board of inquest.

It was not until the fire had been controlled and a search made that It became known any lives had been lost.

Three Days There and Then in Empire State. Cincinnati. Oct. 21. A day of abso lute quiet and rest is being Indulged In by William H. Taft, who arrived here at 7 o'clock this morning and will re main until the same hour tomorrow morning. Mr. Taft went at once to the residence of his brother. C P. Taft. saying that he should see as few peo ple as possible during the dav that his voice might be Improved as much as possible. The three days' work In Indiana will begin tomorrow and end Saturday night, when the Taft special will start at once for New York city. Although it was decided Monday and so an nounced by Chairman Hitchcock, that the candidate would not go into Con necticut, the plan is understood to have been changed to the extent of having Mr. Taft make one speech in the Nut meg state next Monday. Just where the effort is to be made has not yet been decided. The accumulation of mail which It will be necessary for Judge Taft to at tend to today will be taken care of at the Taft residence, it being the inten tion of the candidate not to visit his office in the Sinton hotel. Big Day In West Virginia. Parkersburg, W. Va., Oct. 21. Taft day in West Virginia was the Republi can political event of the present cam paign in this state. Judge Taft trav ersed its entire length, from Martins burg to Parkersburg, and wherever he stopped he was the feature of a demoi. sx ration. In western Maryland the candidate stopped In a number of the smaler towns and was given a rousine- welcome in (Cumberland where he addressed an au dience which packed the largest meet ing place in the city. The Parkersburg meeting last night, however, furnished all of the spectacu lar features belonging to a political rally. There was a parade representing political organization from a number of nearby towns, including those on the Ohio side of the river. Judge Taft's speeches were snappy and he criticised Mr. Bryan's political, doc trines with fire and emphasis. The continuous work of the day began to tell on him, however, and by night he lacked carrying quality in his voice. What the candidate thinks of the sit uation and of his reception during the day may perhaps best be given by the brief speech he made at Clarksburg. He looked about him on all sides on a. teeming throng, and then remarked with the best voice he had, "I would have to have a voice like a steam whistle to reach this audience. "I am deeply grateful for your cor dial reception and for the trouble you have taken to come here and welcome me. I am sure it means that the Re publicans of West Virginia are alive to the importance of the election on the third of November and that they will make West Virginia as Republican as she always has been." Just before the train reached Clarks burg it slackened up at the big Phil lips' Sheet Tin mills, where were gath ered several hundred men employes. On a banner made of a large sheet of tin -were the words: "We have six hundred votes for you Taft," and another which read, "The tin plate Republican club Taft- and Sherman stand for protection to all tin plate workers, and all other American industries." At Rowlesburg the candidate made the shortest labor speech he has yet attempted. Just as he was about to begin, a voice cried out: "Tell us about the injunctions." "That's just what I want to talk about," was the quick response. "They say that I am unfair to labor. I deny It. I handed down the decisions in railroad cases which laid down the principles on which the trades unions are based and which made- them law ful and prosperous." The train began to move but the same voice from the crowd was heard: "That's the bes thing you have ever said." At Cumberland in discussing Bryan's proposition to curtail the product of the trusts to fifty per cent of their out put the judge remarked on the lack of detail the Nebraskan has furnished to show how such a scheme could be worked out. Again referring to Bryan in this speech, he remarked to the evident rel ish of his audience: "Some men are good for talk, anrl criticism and oratory and some are good for doing things." Judge Taft's deep interest in the Philippine question is manifested by the frequency with which he refers to the duty of this country there. Judge Taft addressed two audiences here last night, both in theaters. His fir speech was extended and compre hensive. His second was brief and per tained entirely to the labor issues. Taft Joins a Club. Judge Taft today was made a mem ber of the Citizens' Taft club of Cin cinnati, an organization of recent growth.' A committee visited the Taft residence at noon and the candidate was prevailed upon to go to the head auarters and address a meeting there. After being duly enrolled as a member and introduced to the gathering. Judge Taft said he believed that in matters of this kind it would not be immodest in him to state that he should vot9 with the club. Seriously speaking he said nothing had given so much real gratification as the movement of his friends neighbors and fellow towns men. He commented on the usefulness of the organization, saying that the car rying of the political discussion to the home by persons who personally knew the candidate was far more effective than having such work done by Strang, ers. The candidate spoke of his former residence in the city, his four years ab sence in the Philippines and four more years which, he added with a smile h hoped would not be necessary for him to move to the city during the next four years, although he should always main tain his home in Cincinnati. His recep tion was an expression of exceeding cordiality, and after he had received the members of the clubs and the many others present he returned to the C. P. Taft residence to again resume the quiet of the day which he regards as the necessary preparation to the con tinuance work of the campaign "which is keep him engaged until election mornins. GOES UP m SMOKE Steamer. New York Burns in Harbor at Shipyard. Four Persons on Board Their Lfyes. Lose Newburg, N. Y-, Oct. 2L It was defi nitely learned today that four persons perished in the burning of the Hudson river steamer New York at Marvels shipyard here early today. Since the end of the day line season the New York has been moored at the shipyard. Soon after midnight the Are was discovered aft. The Newburg Are department was called, but the firemen were unable to stay the destruction. There was no steam In the boiler when the fire broke out and the steamer's pumps were useless. Had the pumps been in working order it is believed that the fire could have been extin guished with little loss. The blaze was first discovered by a waiter. There were 25 colored men asleep on the boat and when they were awakened they had no time to dress. They fled from the burning steamer and shivered In blankets on the pier watching the ves sel burn. The men had been paid yesterday and besides their clothing most of them lost their money in some cases as much as $200. Today the charred bodies of four of the colored men employed on the steamer were found below decks in the men's sleeping quarters aft. Their names are as follows: JAMES JONES, Jacksonville, Fla. ISAAC JENKINS. Jacksonville, Fla. ALEX BRAN, New York. JOSEPH MATTHEWS, Charleston. S. C. Matthews, who was a pantryman, when fleeing with his companions, learned that some of them had been left behind. He insisted on returning to rescue them. Rushing through the flames and smoke, he disappeared from view and never returned. Some citizens who had ventured aboard were almost hemmed in by the fire and barely escaped with their lives. The wind blew hard off shore and car ried the flames out In the river away from the shipyard buildings. A small barge lying near the burning steamer caught fire and floated out in the stream a charred hull. At various times during the morning the flames communicated to the shipyard, but were extinguished. Every part of the vessel that was combustible was de stroyed and nothing is left to the beau tiful river steamer but the charred hull, broken in two, with a mass of twisted steel and ironwork. The origin of the fire is not yet known, but it is stated that it was caused by the explo sion of a lamp between decks. The steamer cost more than $500,000 and. was lengthened at a cost of $40, 000. RAIN IN TOPEKA. A Steady Drizzle Begins Early This Afternoon. Rain began falling in Topeka, a little before noon today, and while it has been a slow drizzle the indications are that it will continue all day and the greater part of the night. The precipitation during the day had amounted to but .20 of an Inch at 3 3 o'clock. The nature of the precipi tation Indicates that it is general all over the eastern half of the state, and that the rain will continue to fall for a number of hours. The dry spell was broke nby the rain which was general over the greater part of the state on the 19th, the precipitation being the lightest in this section.- The average precipitation d-uring this rain .period wes three fourths1 of an inch.

During the hours between these two readings the mercury registered one degree higher. The wind today has blown from the southeast at the rate of 12 miles an hour. The indications are that there will not be much of a drop in the tempera ture readings during the day or to night and it the anticpated conditions prevail there is no danger of sleet or a snow as the temperatures are too high for such conditions to prevail. The weather forecast for the next 24 hours is: "Partly cloudy with rain in the eastern portion tonight and In the southeastern portion of the state Thurs day and a falling temperature.

POLITICAIGOSSIP Democrats Abandon Gore Spe cial in Kansas. Blind Senator Will Spend Time in Ohio and East. SHERMAN ALSO OUT. Tlce Presidential Candidate Won't Tisit Kansas. Bryan Will Spend One Day In Sunflower State. K The special train which the Demo crats were going to run through Kan sas for Senator T. P. Gore of Oklahoma has bean abandoned. The chances are 1 that Senator Gore will not speak let Kansas at alL The Democratic national committee has sent Senator Gore to New York, Indiana and Ohio, and will use him there during the remainder of the cam paign. Senator Gore will leave Kansas City oft November 2. He is due to make a speech at Oklahoma City on the night of November 2. and it la pos sible that in going between Kansas City and Oklahoma City he may make a few addresses In Kansas. But the state committee is not counting much on this, as It will take about all the available time to simply make the run. The Republican state committee an nounces that J. S. Sherman, the Re publican nominee for the vice presi dency, has also cut Kansas off his call ing list. Sherman was due to tour the state for a couple of days, making speeches from the rear platform of a special train. But the national com mittee has decided that his services are more necessary in the east. Besides, Mr. Sherman's health is reported to be poor, and he can make only a limited number of speeches. These two moves indicate clearly, that from now on the fight is going to center in New York, Indiana and Ohio. These states are regarded by both parties as the pivotal states. In order to win, the Democrats must carry New York, according to the conservative forecasts which have been made. The Republi cans can win without New York if they carry Indiana and Ohio. Indications are that the Republicans are confident that Kansas is safe for Taft, and that they will leave the rest of the campaign in this state in the hands of local spellbinders, while they concentrate their big guns in the more doubtful communities east of here. The Republican state central com mittee is arranging to send out a cir cular concerning the new tax law. to combat some of the campaign ma terial which the Democrats have been making out of the .operation of the new law. This circular will tell -what the law has done and what it proposes to do, sd will show that Its provisions are equitable. The opposition to tne tax law seems to be centered chiefly In Marshall, Washington. Norton. Republic. Smith, and a few of the northern counties of the state. Atchison Globe: B. P. Waggener has decided to have an operation per- fnrm&A fnp nrmenrilnltla. It will rtrob- ably be performed by the Mayo brothers, of Rochester, Minn., who did so much for Dr. Shulze. Mr. Wag gener will go to Washington shortly, and on his return expects to enter tha hospital. An insurance man from Indiana was in Topeka yesterday on business, and In speaking of political conditions in his state said: "xnis taiK about Indiana being doubtful I regard as greatly exaggerated. I think that the Republicans will carry tne state ror Taft by an overwhelming majority. This is the opinion of the best inform ed politicians of that state. The Re publicans nere in Kansas are no more confident of carrying Kansas for Taft than the Republicans of Indiana are confident of the outcome in that state." The arrangements which the Demo crats have made for the Bryan special train through Kansas on the day be fore election have not been changed. ana according to present inaicauons, the northeast corner of the state will have an opportunity to hear the Democratic nominee the day before election. Joseph Rosenthal of Grand Rapids, Mich., a German orator working un der the Republican national commit tee, has been sent out to Kansas to make some campaign speeches, ana will deliver the first one at Paxlco on October 23. It is likely that Mr. Rosenthal win be assigned to nil a number of campaign dates in commu nities where there is a large German population. Mrs. Ella G. Burton is to speak at Luken's opera house in North Topeka on Monday night, and will talk princi pally about the school book trust and state publication of text books. I am going to present some new ana startling facts at this meeting." said Mrs. Burton, "and I will have the evi dence there to back up my statements. I will bring forward, some charges against the book trust which have never before been made public." Ludwlg E. Katterfeld. the former Washburn student, who has twice rep resented his college in state oratorical contests. Is working for the Socialist party in the present campaign. On Fri day night he is billed for a speech at Las Vegas, N. M., on "The Socialist Movement; the Secret of Its Power." The Republican state central com mittee received a letter from Iola yes terday announcing the result of a "straw vote" taken at Iola a few nights ago at one of the hotels where there were 36 traveling men assembled. Tne vote showed 33 votes for Taft and only 3 for Bryan. This does not seem to sustain the contention that the travel ing men are generally supporting Bryan. The Democrats say that the traveling men received "instructions" from the big wholesale houses and manufactur ers which employ them, that they must lineup for Taft in order to Insure a re newal of favorable business conditions.

Carlisle Laid Off and Watched the Quakers Play. First Ten Minutes Should De cide the Contest. Philadelphia, Oct. 21. Perm's foot ball coaches and players are banking en the Indian game. The season will be a success or a failure In their es timation according as this game is won or lost. Two crushing defeats' In succession by the overwhelming scores of 14 to 6 and 26 to 6 have caused deep feeling at Franklin field, and now it Is "anything to beat the In dians." Glenn Warner on Saturday brought his entire team down to see Penn play against Brown, and by so doing scored a point on Pennsyl vania, for Coach Metzgar had slipped away, hoping to see the Indians line up against Susquehanna. Warner can celled this game In order to allow his braves to see Penn perform. One fact stands out pre-eminent In considering the chances for this game. The team that does the best work in the first ten minutes will win. If in that time Penn can gain consistently and can stop the forward passes of the Indians a red and blue victory Is assured, for the Indians have never been a team to fight hard in the shadow of defeat. If. on the other hand, two or three of those wonderful Indian forward passes succeed at the start. Penn will never be able to stem the tide, for the Indians when buoyed up with success!, fight like demons. Penn can probably beat the Indians at straight, old-fashioned football, but they have two things to fear. First and most important is the forward passing, which Is a feature of the In dians' play. This must be checked. Last year Mount Pleasant and Houser siiot the ball JO to 40 yards success fully, and In the scramble ah Indian always recovered the ball. This year's rules will help Penn somewhat, for in case of a fumble the man that touched the ball must recover it. Penn'a second danger lies in Thorpe's placement kicking.- In his last two games this Indian has kicked six field goal. He Is dangerous anv where within the 45-yard line. The Indlsn line is strong and1 Thorpe is SPECIAL Seasonable Shoe Sale of Fall and Winter Shoes Saving of $2.50 to $4.50 a pr.

Iowa has the best football prospects since the famous 1900 team, which won the championship of the west. Eight vet erans are in the lineup, which with the nne material out of last year's fresh men team, gives Coaches Griffith and myseir a squad of high class caliber. Captain Kirk, chosen by many critics as ail-western half last year, is play ing his last season on the gridiron. He wm De the pivot around which the Iowa team will be built. Kirk has mastered the forward pass and probably as accurate a thrower of the pigskin as any back field man in the "tsig Eight." He will undoubtedly go fo his old place at right half-back this year. Uhe Hawkeve hospital list started early in the season. Hayiand and Car- berry, who will probably be the ends tnis ran, were both out of the game at the start from injuries received the latter part of the summer before re turning to school.

WHAT RESULTS SHOW Drainage From Sewers Seeped -In Many Wells. Quickest Rrlirf Secured Frcni -Boiling: the Water. Ottawa, Oct. 21. The cases of ty phoid fever on the north side resulted from the use of polluted drinking water. This has been proven by an Analysis of the water made by Prof. W. B. Wil son under the direction of the board of health. The latter made the announcement today. Heretofore all analyses of water for the board of health have been made at the state laboratory. At Ottawa university bacteriological laboratory, in charge of Prof. Wilson, has Just been opened, and the testa in the prev ent case were made here. The new laboratory is equipped with all the necessary scientific apparatus. everything is new and the students taking the course are greatly Interested in the work. The work they do in the bacteriological laboratory at Ot tawa university will be credited to them by any of the medical schools of the country. 'The test for pollution of drinking water as a cause of typhoid fever Is one to determine the presence of the colon bacillus," said Prof. Wilson to day. "If the colon bacillus is found it is sure evidence thet the well has been polluted by drainage from the sewer or a cesspool. We used this test in the cf.se of the north side well." The colon bacillus is a kindly, gen tle bacterium under ordinary circum stances, its habitat being the human intestines, rrof. Wilson put a glass slide containing some preserved colon bacilli under a powerful microscope. They looked like minute steel splin ters. The colon bacillus is from 1-2S000 to 3-25000 of an inch long and irom tnree to nve times as long as it is wide. When Prof. Wilson went to work to determine whether there were colon bacilli In the well water in Question lie made some strong clear beef tea. added some prepared peptone and su gar and then added to this solution some of the well water. He filled four test tubes with this. In a few hours the colon bacilli began an attack on the sugar, liberating the gas in it, and the gas rose in bubbles to the top of the test tube. There was a great deal of gas in one tube, a little less In the second, still less in the third and only a trace in the fourth. It was conclu sive proof, however, that the colon bacilli were there and that the drink ing water of the north side well was polluted by sewage. Tii this connection," said wof w son.

M.. about two months ago. securing $35,000. which was be ing shipped to. pay off the hands of one of the big mines near that lown. was arrested here by Sheriff Cogdsell. Humphreys was arrested last Friday on the charge of bootlegging. The officers had no idea at the time that he was one of the New Mexico rob bers. After he gave his name and the officers had looked at nis numer ous scars with which his body is cov ered they came to the conclusion that he was something more than a boot- leeger. Their investigation resulted in his being held for the robbery at French. The sheriff from French came here and has taken Humphreys back to that town. The man does not deny that he was in French at the time of the robbery but declares that he was not Implicated In it.

When Nature is abused she first calls lightly and then in trumpet tones to the thoughtful man to "get right." A slight "touch of indigestion," feeling "a little indis posed," "not so well," etc., are the first whisperings of trouble the warnings. One can then turn to Qra oei and be sure of good results. It is Nature's food improved. Worn out tissues are renewed, weakened di gestive organs are strengthened, good health is quickly wooed and won.

A movement has been started at Mangum for the construction of an ln terurban line from Mangum to Vinson via Reed, 22 miles, and the promoters of the new line have taken over the charter of an old company which was organized for a similar purpose two or three years ago, but had since given up the proposition.

In spite of two cent fare and adverse conditions, the Chicago, Burlington Qulncy railroad showed an increase in passenger earn ings for the year ending June 30. ac cording to the pamphlet report issued yesterday. The Burlington is the only road affected by the low rate meas ures which became effective July 1, 1907. that has so far reported any thing but a decrease in earnings. The increase in total earnings from passenger trains, including mail and express, amounted to $66,441. or .82 per cent. For strictly passenger busi ness the earnings increased $152,265. The total earnings from passenger trains were $23,369,331. as against $23,312,839 for the preceding year. With a general reduction in rates the increase was made possible by a much larger volume of business than was carried a year ago. There was an in crease of 2.457.019 in the number of passengers carried, the figures for the past year being 19,214,329. and for 1907, 16.757,220. To offset this showing there was a decline in freight earnings amounting to 6.16 per cent. Freight traffic yield ed $53,036,305, while for the previous year it amounted to $56,516,689, the decrease being $3,480,380. MISSOURI PACIFIC MEN HERE. Freight Officials Are Acquainting Themselves With Shippers. K. M. Wharry, general freight agent of the Santa Fe, with headquarters at Kansas Citv; R. P. Isitt. commercial freight agent at Kansas City and W. Gantt, traveling freight agent of the Missouri Pacific, are Topeka visitors today. Nothing of importance to the general public is connected with their visit. The trio are merely here in specting the Missouri Pacific property and meeting the shippers of the city. All the men report an Increase in the volume of freight traffic on their lines. Mr. Wharry is well known here, as he was at one time connected with the freight department of the Rock Island at this point. TO PREVENT ENFORCEMENT. Five Ronds File Suit Against Federal Commission. Five railway companies seek to pre vent the Interstate commerce com mission from enforcing a new rate classification on shipments of property moving under class rates between Mississippi river crossings and Mis souri river points in a suit filed against the commission in the United States circuit court. The railroads ask that the commission be restrained from en- of Nature m t i NUtS It United States Senator W. P. Dill in g forcing its order and that, upon final hearing, the order be annulled. The new rates ordered by the com mission as a result of complaints made by shippers, established June 24, 1908, and made effective October 28, 1908, are lower than the rates previ ously in force. The roads complaining are: Chi cago. Rock Island Pacific, Chicago, Burlington Sc. Quincy, Chicago Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul and the Chicago Great West ern. The suit was filed by Attorneys William McHugh and Colin C. H. Fyffe. THREE CENT RATE ESTABLISHED Roads Expecting No Trouhle With State Commission. Little Rock, Ark.. Oct. 21. At 12:01 Monday morning the three cent pas senger fare went into effect on the trunk lines of Arkansas, taking the place of the two cent rate, which was ordered by the state legislature in 1907. The Iron Mountain is the only line which failed to file its increased tariff with the Arkansas railroad com mission. The increased rate will go into effect on that line Just the same, however, as the tariff is to be filed at once and' no trouble is expected. The trunk lines are acting under the in junction granted by the federal court at St. Paul. Nine short lines in the state will file injunction suits against the rail road commission on Tuesday in the federal court. The suits will be the same as filed by the trunk lines. If granted, the small lines will be able to re-establish the three- cent rate, too. CONDUCTOR CHANDLER DEAD. Took Tickets on Santa Fc for a Score of Years. Albuquerque, N. M.. Oct. 21. A. L.

Mr. Chandler came to New Mexico from Wamego, Kansas, where a brother and other relatives reside. He was 56 years old. DAME NATURE HINTS When the. Food Is Not Suited. When Nature gives her signal that something is wrong it is generally with the food; the old Dame is al ways faithful and one should act at once. To put off the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Arizona man says: "For years I could not safely eat any breakfast. I tried all kinds of breakfast foods, but they were all soft, starchy messes, which gave me dis tressing headaches. I drank strong coffee, too, which appeared to bene fit me at the timi, but added to the headachei afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better, for I found the toast very constipating. "A friend persuaded me to quit the old coffee and the starchy breakfast foods, and use Postum and Grape Nuts instead. I shall never regret taking his advice. I began using them three months ago. "The change they have worked in me Is wonderful. I now have no more of the distressing sensations in my stomach after eating, and I never have any headaches. I have gained 12 pounds in weight and feel better In every way. Grape-Nuts make a delicious as well as a nutritious dish, and I find that Postum is easily di gested and never produces dyspepsia symptoms." "There's a reason."

TARIFF ON ZINC ORE. That Is Text of Speaker Cannon's Ad dress at Joplin. Joplin, Mo., Oct. 21. Concluding a day's tour of the zinc mining district, Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the na tional house, declared to an immense audience In the Auditorium last, night that if this district elected a pemo cratic representative he -would consider it a notification that the people here did not want a tariff on cine ore. During the day Speaker Cannon spoke in Aurora, Pierce City, Monett, Granby, Neosha. Sarco, Carthage. Oronogo and Webb City. He devoted the greater part of his time to a dis cussion of the proposed tariff on sine ore, which is being made the primary issue of the campaign in the mining Mr. cannon declared that Congressman Hackney was misin formed in making the statement that he had an agreement with Republican leaders by which he could secure the promised tariff. Mr. Cannon's reception here was the most enthusiastic of the dav. His speech was an exhaustive survey of the entire tariff question, which was finally brought to a local application. He frequently referred to Bryan, as a "visionary, who tried to put right eousness into the statute books instead of policy and found that the re sult was poverty, instead of prosper ity." THIRTY PER CENT WORSE OFF. That Is Result of Din-ley Tariff, Says Governor Swanson. New Tork. Oct. 21. That the Amer ican working man is "thirty per cent wores off sincethe Dingley tariff bill was passed" was the declaration of Governor Claude A. Swanson of Vir ginia in an address before the Com mercial Travelers league here today. l was in congress when that bill was enacted," said Governor Swanson, and I predicted that if it were allowed to continue in force it would produce a panic. That prediction has come true and the Republican party does not dare come out in this campaign and cham pion thai, creation of eleven years ago. Since the law was enacted the cost of living has Increased 49 per cent, while the wages of working men have in creased only 19 per cent. The working man therefore is 30 per cent worse off now since this bill "was passed." JOE JAMES MUST HANG. One of Negroes Who Caused Spring field Riot Gets No Clemency. Chicago, Oct. 21.

There is a hot campaign on in the state of Indiana In which the prin cipal state issue is that of prohibition. rne .Republican party has the "dry" side of the fight, and is making an effort to elect a "dry" legislature. Governor Hoch received word a few days ago that the Democrats were placarding the state with the well known Kansas City, Kan., posters, which give a large number of photo graphs of vacant buildings, and an nounce that those vacant buildings are all due to the fact that the pro hibitory law is being enforced in that town. In response to a request. Gov ernor Hoch has written a letter con cerning the situation in Kansas, which the Republican state central com mittee of Indiana will use extensively in the campaign to counteract the in fluence of the brewery poster. Gov ernor Hoch says in his letter: "I have your letter of the 13th Inst enclosing poster which you say is be ing displayed all over Indiana by the breweries in an effort to prove that the enforcement of prohibition in Kansas City, Kan., has worked a great injury to the interests of the city. I have received many copies of this poster and find that it is being used all over the country. As a matter of fact the enforcement of prohibition in Kansas City, Kan., has proved of untold value to the city not only morally and educationally, but flnan daily as well. I am enclosing you a copy of a circular gotten out by the Commercial club of Kansas City, Kan., refuting the statements made by the circular issued by the brewers. This circular shows that the city is prospering as it has never prospered before. I am also sending you a copy of a speech made by Assistant Attor ney General C. W. Trickett, giving facts to show that the enforcement of the law has greatly benefited the city in every way. I call your especial at tention to a statement made by Mr. C. L. Brokaw, cashier of the Commeclal National bank of Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Brokaw's bank is the largest in the city and he Is one of the prom inent bankers of the west, being for merly president of the Kansas Bank ers' association. Mr. Brokaw says that during the time since the saloon 8 were closed they have had the largest Increase of new business they have had in any equal period in the bank's history. He says that their bank holds the accounts of more than 50 per cent of the business houses of the city and that merchants say that business has been better than they have ever known it before. He says further that during his residence of nearly seventeen years conditions were never so good as they are today. Crime has been greatly decreased, busi- nss in every legitimate line is better than it ever was and although at the beginning of the movement for law enforcement many of the business men were opposed to it because they thought it would hurt the city financially, there has been a wonder ful change of sentiment there and un der' no consideration would the citl zens go back to the old conditions." THE AIRSHIP CAME DOWN And Frank Goodale, Who Was Navt gating. Came Near to Death. Wichita. Kan.. Oct 21. Frank Goodale, aviator with the Roy Knabenshue airship, which has been in Wichita making flights since the jubilee last week, narrow!- escaped death while attempting a flight late last evening. As he was ascending nto the air, a heavy gust of wind caught the prow of the airship and turned the balloon almost over. Goodale saved himself by turning the airship east and righting it, but an other gust of wind caught the for ward part of the balloon and bent it downward, striking the tin rudder, when a hole was torn in the balloon, allowing the gas to escape. Goodale was about seventy-five feet In the air at the time and the airship dropped almost straight to the ground. Assist ants rushed to the scene and picked Goodale out. expecting to find him in jured severely. Not a bone was broken, however. -and he only sustain ed a few slight bruises. An attempt was being made to circle the city and' pass around the city bunding. MORE GAS FOR KANSAS CITY. Pipe I.lne No. 2 From the Ottawa Fields Finally Finished. Ottawa, Kan., Oct. 21. Kansas City gas consumers are now as ready for a cold snap as they will be this winter. The second pipe line, doubling the sys tern of supply between the natural gas fields and Kansas City, is in place. The laying ox pipes was finished last even ing. Gas will be flowing through the new line in two or three days. A double pipe line had been laid from Petrolia to Ottawa and from Olathe to Kansas City. In order to complete the double pipe system it was only neces sary to build from oiatne to Ottawa, This is 42 miles by wagon road. But the pipe line runs straight and is only 29 miles long. Work began August 3. Brownsville Case Is dp. Washington, Oct. 21. There was an echo of the Brownsville "shooting up incident when in the supreme court or the United States a motion to advance the case of Oscar w. Reld on the dock et was filed in Reid's behalf. Reld be longed to the Twenty-fifth infantry and the president dismissed 'him without honor on the cnarge or being impiica ted in the Brownsville riot of August 13, 1906. The suit is to compel payment of Reid's salary up to the expiration of his enlistment. The attorney general nonenrred in the motion to advance and the case will probably be argued in lie cember.

The Stats Journal Is a member of the Amoclated Prens and receives the full nay telegraph report of that great news or ganisation for the exclusiva afternoon publication In Topeka. The news Is received in The State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose. The critic who said that the British army aeroplane was a great success as a lawn mower must be set down as being a trifle sarcastic. From the wheat regions comes the Information that the winter wheat needs rain. So does the fall dust which has gathered In great quantities In these sections. Tew things have come In of late for ao many compliments as the rain which fell generally In Kansas on Mon day night. "Good" Is about the least that has been said of It. Higher educational note: The United States supreme court says that even correspondence schools will have to take out a state charter before they can do business In this state. The New York, World advances one reason why the women should not be allowed to vote. It declares that they would be bound to chew the ends of the pencils In the election booths. Mr. Taft's friends ought not to worry much because his voice is growing weaker for the political arguments he Is presenting are growing stronger each day and they will have their effect even If he has to whisper them. Although the presidential campaign will be carried onward with increased vigor by all parties to It from now on until the very eve of election day, the chances are that the number of men In the land who have not made up their minds by this time how they are going to vote Is exceedingly small. Senator LaFollette. of Wisconsin, will probably come out of the present cam paign with more friends than he ever had before and they were not few by any manner of means. In most of his speeches he has plenty of good words to say for Mr. Bryan, although he strong ly advocates the election of Mr. Taft. Lost: One Italian duke. Answers to the name of Abruzzl.

Recently reported to have purchased $60,000 worth of Jewels for his Intended, and concerning which purchase some one has been unkind enough to suggest that perhaps he had the Jewels charged until he receives his. "dot." Traces of gold have been found Just east of Scranton. This is additional evidence of the wonders In Kansas soli, which Is really In Its Infancy as far as development goes. Probably there are few people In the state who are op timistic enough to think that gold will ever be found In extensively paying quantities In Kansas dirt but a little working of the land and a little plant ing of seed and little caring for its growth will bring returns of gold, or Its equivalent. In large quantities. 'And now the disbarment proceedings against C. W. Trlckett, the state's spec ial assistant attorney general for Wy andotte county, have fallen flat. The examiners who were appointed to hear the charges against Mr. Trlckett have exonerated him absolutely. But surely it will be possible for the enemies of this able prosecutor of the violators of the prohibitory law to persecute him in other ways. It's to be hoped not but It is likely that this Is one of those fond hopes which will not be realized. According to the dictum of the Uni ted States supreme court H. Clay Pierce, of the Waters-Pierce Oil com pany, one of the vigorous tentacles of the Standard Oil octopus, will have to go to Texas and face the music which has been scored up for him there. This will probably be a reluctant trip for Mr. Pierce as the offense of which he is accused In the Lone Star state Is punishable by a term of from two to five years in the penitentiary. Proba bly the other trust magnates in the country will now sit up and take no tice. Of all of the many magnificent re ceptions that have been tendered to the great battleship fleet of the United States which is circling the globe, and to its officers and men, none of them have surpassed and few of them have equalled In any way, the one which is being given Japan. Even the most skeptical cannot doubt its sincere heartiness. And what, pray tell, has Richmond Pearson Hobson and a few other jingoes to say-.now about the possibilities of an immediate war be tween this country and the Flowery Kingdom? Dick Croker, now of the landed gen try of Ireland, and who has occasion ally had the privilege of bowing to the king of England, may be set down as being stingy. He has contributed only 1,006 to the Democratic national cam paign fund. This Is a mere mite in comparison with the money he raked in when he was bosa of Tammany Hall, the greatest grafting political machine In the world. There's no doubt that this is how Mr. Croker made his im mense fortune while hla lieutenants were running the city of New Tork to suit him for once while he was being badgered on the witness stand he blurted out that in the pursuit of poll tics he was working for his pocket all the time, A SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD PULP. The chemists of the federal depart ment of agriculture claim to have found a substitute for wood pulp in the manufacture of paper that will greatly cheapen the product. The new materiel Is the ordinary cornstalk and the claim Is made that the outer shell of the stalk will furnish white paper while the pith will furnish material for the brown. Some years ago an alleged discovery of the value of cornstalks in the man ufacture of some important product caused a good many piles of this ma terial to be gathered from the fields and stacked along railway stations, but nothing ever came of It. If government chemists have really found a way to cheapen paper and also give the farmer a market for what has been Just about so much waste in the past, it will be a great gain all around. But perhaps It would be well for further results along this line be fore too much enthusiasm is shown over it. IX THE LAXD OP GOOD ROADS. Some tens of centuries ago, when nation used to go out to war against nation and signalize the victory by bringing what was left of the van quished home as slaves, the need of good roads was first apparent. For one thing, it was deemed desirable to have a returning triumphal procession, and drag the conquered at the chariot wheels of the conquerors Into the city of triumph. It soon became ap parent that in order to make the procession impressive, it was de sirable to make the roads broad and good. So the able-bodied males among, the slaves were put to work to break stone and dig and tamp and make a smooth, hard surface for Pchariot wheels. That was the begin ning of good roads. There was little engineering art about it at first. But there were bright minds as well as brute force, and the building of the roads very soon began to take on a science. That accounts for the fact that some of the old slave-built roads still serve as models to the highway making world. France, where the International roads congress began Its meetings last week, has roads which furnish an example to the whole world because of its legacy from the old days of the triumphal chariot and all the rest. But France, it is but fair to say, has by modern ingenuity Improved on her foundation. In France road building Is an art, developed by the highest en gineering skill. There the period of experiment has been passed. No hlt-or-mlss nethods are now employed. Though the days of slave labor are long since passed, the day of making roads by hard and constant work still prevails. And to back the work there is a liberal expenditure of money. Some useful things the nations represented, from America to China, can learn from France. It Is often said that a country must take on age before It can have good roads. Some plain examples may teach that not age alone Is essential. Hard work, eternal vlllgance. plenty of money in telligently applied, will excel the Irregular work of centuries. Ameri cans are quick to see the point. And the road builders of this country should not fall to retain the hints which they may Just now be getting at Paris. OXE OF THE BIG ISSUES. "During times of political excite ment such as come to this nation once in four years, it becomes necessary for the voter to decide in favor of those policies which make for the better ment of his own condition and for the good of the whole. people," says the Kansas Farmer. "In doing this he must decide between the parties whose candidates are asking for his vote. The stress of the campaign does not conduce to deep thought or calm consideration of the questions at issue, and the voter may be led Into the momentary support of the party and the politics which are really antagonistic to his own best in terests and the general welfare of the country. Should this happen, the voter has four years of regret and repentance of his fault in not giving sufficient and serious thought to the matters In hand. "There are, however, certain ques tions of importance to the individual as well as to the community, which do not depend for their proper solution upon party success. They are of equal Interests to all parties and their demands for attention and solution are insistent, but because of partisan strife they are likely to be overlooked. "Such a question is before the peo ple of Kansas today, and the wise voter is he who will give it a calm consideration which he should give to all political questions and who will demand its solution. We refer to the creation and maintenance of a per manent state fair. "It seems ridiculous that Kansas, the most progressive agricultural state In the Union, should fall to provide the opportunity to show to the world the results of her labor and methods on her wonderful soil and in her mar velous climate. In any great exposi tion where Kansas products are shown the state always gives a good account of herself, and brings home trophies of which she Is proud. This, however, is always accomplished by individuals who have not the privilege of a tryout at home. "The progressive farmer who breeds good live stock or pure-bred corn and thus advances the welfare and prosperity of the state ought cer tainly to be entitled to the educational advantages of comparing the result of his labors with those of his neighbors in a state fair. "It is to be hoped that the great question of a permanent state fair for Kansas win have the consideration which it merits and that the voters will demand that each and every candidate for a legislative office pledge himself In favor of a state fair, or be compelled to stay at home. JOURNAL ENTRIES Few men are opposed to betting if they are in the habit of making win ning bets. Some folks are so lazy that they would like to have other people do their guessing for them. Among the ardent followers of Gen eral Apathy is a distinguished com pany of the unambitious. In the mind of the average man there Is not much doubt as to which is the more desirable between money and brains. It would likely lead to an embar rassing situation If a chronic caller should call attention to the fact that the clock la an hour or so fast. J A YHA WKER JOTS The man who makes flour at Hutch inson is advertising it in rhyme. The Emporia Gazette asserts that the flour Is better than the poetry. The people of Harper are using disinfectants Instead of perfumery these days. Four families In the town are under quarantine' because, of diphtheria. Iola Is talking of -levying a $10 an nual tax on all automobiles, and may also place a tax on vehicles of all kinds. Watch the people there who do not own motor cars holler. The Sallna Journal calls attention to the fact that the Abilene man who when he needed $1,000 went to the pig pen, hunted over three or four tin cans, and took the money from one of them. Is not the only Kansas farmer who has raised $1,000 in a pig pen. A horse belonging to the Sunflower Oil company at Sallna, refused to eat for three days recently, although it fM apparently in -the best'of health. Finally an examination, -of its mouth was made by a veterinary and a.' wire hair pin was found to be lodged Its full length in the animal's tongue. No wonder it didn't eat. There were certainly busy times for the newspaper reporters and the doc tors in Osage City Saturday. A wom an was shot accidentally by a man who was trying to rid the land of a cur dog; the city marshal was shot by an insane negro, and a father took a shot at anunruly son, puncturing his shoulder. All of the wounded are ex pected to recover. v A Little River physician who Is go ing on a vacation, promised his pa tients that he will return -home in time to vote for the next president of the United States, but he is mean enough not to tell who he is going to.. vote for. He must know, who is going. to be elected, for he can vote for only one. Maybe, though, he Is like a good many other people. Ho only thinks he knows. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. There Is a lot of foolishness in the world; and we all do our part. If wives don't want to catch their husbands, they shouldn't watch them. What has become of the old fashion ed little boy who ate so much that it made him poor to carry it? What has become of the woman who went around with a cloth tied around her head, to advertise- that it ached An Atchison man is so .worthless that, instead of putting .off, until to morrow what he should do today, he puts it off until Monday. Mrs. Lysandier John Appleton offers as evidence that she is the brainiest woman In her literary club, her fingers: No other woman's lingers have so much ink on them. There Is a certain shock experienced by all bridegrooms. It is occasioned by looking up suddenly at the bride, and finding her looking critically at her husband instead of tenderly. The town man thinks all a farmer does Is to sit down in the shade, and watch things grow. A farmer thinks all we do in town is to sit; behind a counter, and rake in money. This is the reason every farmer wants to move to town, and every town man wants to be a farmer. This is the season of the year when the woman who passed through an Indian reservation on the train last summer, gets up a Literary club in order that she may read a paper on "The Indian, His Past, Present and Future; What the Red Man Stands for as a Factor in Civilization." An Atchison wife was recently furi ously Jealous of the letters her hus band received addressed in a woman's handwriting, so she determined the next time the postman came, to get hold of the mall first, and open the letters. She did. and found four of the letters contained millinery and dress making bills, and the fifth letter was a complaint from Tommy's teacher that he played hooky sometimes. The funniest thing in the world is to see the way a girl manages a girl who is visiting her. She parades her down town to let others see her; keeps accounts against her friends who do not call on the girl, and thinks she is not very much of a success as a host ess unless the girl's time is engaged weeks ahead. The visiting girl is her property, and we have an idea that the girl who is visited, privately fusses with her guest, if she hasn't brought all her best clothes. A man tells his guest to amuse himself his own way, but a girl says to her guest: "You must amuse yourself my way." REFLECTIOS.S OP A BACHELOR. From the New York Press. The worst that somebody else has seems better than the best that you have. People have money so on the brain that they talk even of spending their lives. A man's Idea of a good sermon is when it Isn't noisy enough to disturb his nap through it. Often a man can't be sure whether he is married to a woman or to a col lection of sachet bags and a barrel of perfume. Even a widow who gets married again can have the nerve to tell her husband she had no Idea what it would be like or she wouldn't have done It. j T1 I KANSAS COMMENT DIFE'Tr'TTT m wit?

Philadelphia Press. NEEDLESS DEATHS. The Pennsylvania State Railroad commission has issued its first month ly bulletin. It reports 9 2 persons killed and 1.101 injured in August. Six of the deaths were due to grade crossing accidents and four to col lisions. Forty-eight trespassers on railroad property were killed, it is a peculiar fact about railroad accidents that most of them are of a preventable nature. Collisions are due to care lessness, either on the part of the telegraph force or on the part of the train hands. Disobedience of orders is too common to arouse interest; every fatal accident due to this cause points to the fact mat tne manage ment might with advantage choose men for intelligence and faithfulness as well as for good eyes and ears. Trespassers on railroad property have always furnished a large proportion of the victims in reports for stated periods. Confusion, paralysis rrom fright, and preoccupation explain hundreds of cases, but do not prevent others from occurring unless they keep people off the" right of way who have no business upon it. Every succeeding report of railroad ac cidents points the same lessons, and shows that there are people who re fuse to learn. Buffalo Express. A WOMAN'S REDEMPTION. A irond word for the Thaws Is so rare in these times that one is eager to point to an act of a member of the family to snow tnai n is ni wnuujr degenerate, and the behavior of Alice Copley Thaw, the former wife of the Earl of Yarmouth, lurmsnes an ex cuse. Under the English law the wife of the bearer of an English title of nobility is permitted to retain her title after divorce, but in this case the woman has notified the family of her thoroughly disreputable and con temptible husband that she has re signed It. She expects to be known In the future as "Miss Thaw." Her marriage with the earl was one of those foolish and vain performances of a silly American girl brought up in luxury, and as the saying goes, "spoiled to death? When her mis erable brother murdered Stanford White she restored herself to a great degree in the respect of her own American people by coming to this side and attending the trial in spite of the remonstrances of her honorable English "In-laws." This courageous action is supposed to have hastened her happy divorce, and that she has followed it by renouncing the empty title obtained through her early folly stamps her at least as woman of spirit, Charleston News and Courier.

Under Water for Centuries. Caligula, the spendthrift emperor of Kome wno raised his pet horse to the consulship, is said to have had two magnificent floating palaces on Lake Nemi, about seventeen miles from the imperial city. According to the early historians the decks were of larch- wood, sheathed with thin strips of porphyry and serpentine; the doors were inlaid with gold and ivory: there were bathrooms and colonnades of marble, crowned with wonderful hang ing gardens all In the extravagant Greco-Roman style. These ships, there is reason to believe, are still in existence In the depths of Lake Neml, and a commission of prominent engi neers and archaeologists has been ap pointed t6 discuss the best way to re cover them. This Is the fourth attempt which the world has made to raise these fa mous ships. Cardinal Colonna, in 1431 employed divers from Genoa, who brought up planks sheathed with copper. There was a second attempt a century later. In 1827 Annesio Fus conl spent $6,000 in an effort to raise the boats, half of this sum, however, being dissipated on a great banquet, at which prelates, diplomats and noble men toasted the success of the af fair. In 1885 diving bells were used and a careful examination made. It was found that one ship was 200 feet in length by 60 feet beam, lying with Its prow downward on the steep side of the lake. 150 feet under water. The other ship, which was still deeper, was found to be 250 feet in length. Some beautiful fixtures were recovered but the owner of the lake refused to allow the ships to be torn to pieces and the project was Anally abandoned, though not until the appetite of the archaeological world had been keenly whetted. Lake Neml is the crater of an ex tinct volcano about three miles in di ameter and 500 feet deep. The pres ent plan is temporarily to lower the level of the lake by about 150 feet. Don Enrico Ruspoli, the owner. Is said to be torn between his desire to see the great ships recovered and his un willingness to disfigure the whole countryside with these hydraulic oper ations.. Chicago Post. Human Race Lives Longer. A German scientist, Dr. Emil Konig, has lately undertaken to prove that in highly civilized countries man has abused his constitutional strength, and consequently is more susceptible to disease than he was in earlier times. There is obviously something to be said for this averment, but, consid ered as a whole, the facts do not bear It out. It Is unquestionably true that as civilization advances human life be comes more complex, and the pres-, sure upon man's physical resources tends to become more intense. It is also. true that certain forms of dis ease, such, for example, as cancer and heart weakness, appear to be more prevalent than they were a century ago we say "appear," because only in a comparatively recent period have the statistics of mortality and Its causes been trustworthy and exhaust ive. The official records of Geneva, which have been kept carefully for a long period, prove that the average duration of human life is materially greater than it was 150 or 100 years ago. Not only the average length of human existence, but the retention of physical and intellectual vigor, or what is called the prime of life, tends to be prolonged. The age limit of usefulness has in practice been pushed forward. The fruitful activity of men over 60, and even 70, years of age, is a phe nomenon far more frequently ob served today than it was 100 years ago. Napoleon's career was over at 46; Von Moltke's can scarcely be said to have begun, so far as great achieve ments were concerned, till he was nearly 70. What Is true of war is true of di plomacy, of law, of medicine, of every field of work In which mental and physical energy is Indispensable. When, in a word, we examine impar tially all the data, weighing accurately all the evidence pro and con, we seem Justified in taking an optimistic rather than Dr. Konlg's pessimistic view of the effect of civilization on the bodily well-being and longevity of man. New York Sun. Get Old Airship Patents. Regarded as a dreamer during life. Dr. Arthur de Bousset, who died three years ago, provides in his will, filed yesterday, material for a romance of the skies. The beneficiaries under his will believe the patents he had taken out on airships and devices pertaining thereto, hitherto considered valueless, have become of immense value through the recent "developments in aviation. If their, belief proves well founded those who cared for the aged Inventor in the last years of his life will become wealthy. Dr. de Bousset, who was 76 years old when he died, in the home of Charlea A. McCready, broker, with offices in the produce exchange, was well known In this country and Europe as an ex perimenter in all things mechanical, but more especially through his work in aeronautics. In 1902 he obtained a patent in this country for a machine said to be more on the lines of Zeppe lin's device than any other, and the next year similar patents were obtained in Europe. None of these patents went beyond the model stage, but.the aged man con vinced some good mechanics that the devices were practical. Subsequently, he made other Inven tions, including a propellor for boats, which, it was stated yesterday, is now being tested in a small vessel, and other improvements in airships, none of which has been patented. All these pa pers, plans and models he left with his friend Mr. McCready. With him he also left a will, dated May 9, 1904. The estate, however, so lacked prom ise of value that It was not thought worth while ottering the instrument for probate, and until recently the old man's models and patents were forgot ten. Then 'with the work of the Wrights the patents and papers were recalled, mechanics were called In to pass Judgment upon them, and on their advice that the patents possess value the will was offered for probate yester day. New York Herald. THE EVENING STORY A Dreamer of Dreams. (By Jane Ludlum Lee.) T say, Charlie,- do you believe In dreams Thus addressed, Charlie Darlington turned slowly around In his armchair. He and his friend, "Biny" Laughton. were seated in the window of the American club, watching the Saturday afternoon crowds pour out of the mat inees. "Well that depends largely on the dream," announced Darlington, at length. "If, for Instance, you dream of finding money In the street, take my word for It, old man, there's noth ing in it But, on the other hand, you dream that some distant relative has died, and you are called upon to chip in and help pay funeral expenses well, such things have been known to hap pen." "As a friend In need, Charlie Dar lington.'" declared Laughton, "you're a cipher." "Oh, I say, old man," protested Dar lington. "Ask me something sensible." Darlington rose from his chair, and picked up his hat from a nearby table. "I'm off. You had better go to sleep, and I'll leave word with the boy to cad you In case you wander away In one of those dreams. Laughton did not know that his friend's sudden departure had been caused by the sight of Charlotte Cora stock walking down the avenue alone. Darlington overtook her In a few min utes. "Let's go to Balston's and get an ice," Darlington suggested as an excuse for having Charlotte to himself for a while. And Charlotte seemed more than willing. Once seated In the fashionable tea room, Charlotte said she preferred tea to an ice. "You see, I'm not up to the mark today," she explained. "I had a bad night of it had horrible dreams all night long." Then looking up at at him and opening wide her usually dreamy eyes, she suddenly asked: 'Do you believe in dreams 7 Darlington repressed his mirth for the time being. "Eh well that is I was ..Just dis cussing that very question;" he stam mered. Well, do you?" persisted Charlotte. "Yes--no that Is, sometimes." began Darlington. Then he stopped and pinched his arm. "Say, do I look queer to you. Miss Comstock?" he continued. "I don't happen to be dreaming now, do I?' "Oh. you're so funny. Mr. Darling ton," cried Charlotte, much amused. I'll not tell you1 another word! You re a prosaic wide-awake man. I believe you're a night watchman, and don't sleep at alL" "But. my dear girl, night watchmen are notoriously sound sleepers," pro tested Darlington. All arguments, however, were of no avail. Charlotte would not finish her story, and conversation was forced Into other channels. The next morning Charlie Darlington awoke in his bachelor apartments with a most uncomfortable feeling in his head. He raised his right arm to feel his aching head, and his arm seemed to work like a piece of machinery in need of oiling. His head to all Intents was bound up as in a vise. His throat was parched. After a moment a knowing smile came over hlsface. "Ah, I know,'' he announced ,to him self. 3 i He pressed a button for his man, who answered the summons at once. "Hall." demanded Darlington sharp ly, "what time is it? How did I get here and where was X last nignt "It's past eleven, sir." Then, seeing the mystified expression on his mas ter's face, he smiled a most annoying smile. "Maybe if you shook yourself you'd recall It. Guess you're not awake yet, are vou? "I don't know. Hall I thought I was. But maybe I'm dreaming." He made an effort to sit up, uttered a cry of pain and sank back in the pil low again. Without further explana tion Hall disappeared. Darlington, again left to himself, tried to solve the problem, and little by little ne leit an exnlanation dawn on him. The door opened and isiiiy laugnton entered. ."Well, old tenderioot, now goes in greeted Billy. "Sit down, tsiliy. I want to ten you something," answered Darlington. Rillv. I've had a dream a horribly realistic dream and I'm not altogether sure that I'm awake yet." "Forget it, Charlie," sung out iaush ton between the puffs of his cigarette. "Was it finding money in the street or burying your relatives?" suggested Laughton, not without sarcasm. At this moment Hall entered bearing a tray with steaming hot coffee. "Two ladies to see you, sir," iaii an nounced as he put the tray on a tablo at the bedside. "Impossible!" exclaimed Darlington. "Probably Aunt Dora and Charlotte," suggested Laughton as he rose. Then turning to Darlington he aded: "Quiet down, old man It's all right; you're dreaming, that's all." Charlotte and ner motner were stand ing In the doorway, and Darlington stared at the two figures. "One minute. Billy," said Darlington as he cut forth a very stiff arm. "If I'm dreaming and I believe I am for the love of humanity don't wake me. Ms he delirious?" Charlotte inquired of Billy. "Not any more so than usual," as sured Billy with friendly brutality. Did you bring those flowers for him? continued Billy, nodding in the direc tion of the bed. whereas Charlotte glowered at him and Mrs. Comstock said sometning aDout "unseemly lev ity." "Will you ever forgive me. Mr. Dar lington?" Charlotte was saying. "I'll never forgive myself; but you see, I thought it was safe for me to cross and Darlington loked at the girl closely. He had loved her for many months, but had never had the courage to lei; her so. She had always Impressed him as a serious-minded girl. Could who be uo to some trick now with her cousin. Billy Laughton? "When that horse knocKea you aown and kicked you." continued Charlotte "well, I Just thought I never wanted to speak again; but you're only Just badly bruised not seriously hurt, they tell me you're not, are you?" A sudden gleam as If knowing where of she spoke came to Darlington. "I remember." he began as he took Char lotte's hand. "Good Lord, deliver us," cried Billy. "He -Is going to 'reminisce.' Come on. Aunt Dora I'm afriad this ordeal would be too much for a woman of your years. I'll take you in the sitting room and show you Charlie's collection of mugs," and taking Mrs. Comstock by the arm, he led her into the adjoining room. "Don't you remember," continued Charlotte, unheeding Billy's Irrelevant remarks and his kind departure, "when you and I were coming out of Balston's and were crossing the street? I darted forward and you started to draw me back. Then the horse hled at something and kicked you "And all the time," cried Darling ton, "I thought It was a dream. But now it all comes back to me. I recall the sensation as I fell. Thought what an ass I had been never to Jiave toid you that I loved you and that now maybe It was too late "It's a darned sight too late for a healthy brute, like you to be lying In bed," chimed in Billy, as he and Mrs. Comstock returned at this Inoppor tune moment. "Come along, Char lotte, Aunt Dora and I are starving for our luncheon. As for": you, old, slippery elm, I'll b back this after, r noon and read aloud to you extracts from 'Pipes, the Greatest Dream Book of the Age.' Charlotte extended her hand to the invalid. Ho gave It a significant little squeeze. "Am I too late?" ho demanded In an undertone. "You're Just In time," answered Charlotte, blushing to tho roots of tho soft brown hair above her forehead. "What did Charlie mean about be ing too late?" asked Mrs. Comstock as tho trio reached the street. "Ah, dont pany any attention to him," put In Billy. "Ho was dreaming that's all."

From the Chicago News. Stealing time from sleep is a poor way to beat It. There are two sides to every story and some have four and a celling. The wind frequently turns an um brella, but a borrower seldom returns it. The right kind of a man doesn't havi to spend half his time looking for a Job. A woman gets more enjoyment out of a good cry than a man does out of a hearty laugh. f Remember, girls, that boasting of an old love affair is a mighty poor way tf boost a new one. It's an easy matter for a man to cut down his living expenses. All he has to do Is break into Jail. A woman writer says a man should keep nothing from his wife. As a mat ter of fact, he can't. You cannot convince a farmer that city people get up early enough to do an honest day's work. When a girl Jilts a young man and hn refuses to let it spoil his career it Is an awful Jolt to her pride. It's a gay old world when you are gay and a sad old world when you are said. It all depends upon the point of view. QUAKER MEDITATIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Many a discharged employe is fired with enthusiasm. The man who believes in himself Is sometimes too credulous. After a hard battle the pugilist gen erally has a rapt expression. Philanthropy not only hires a press agent, but a clacque as well. The people who build castles in the air are never sure of their ground. The detective who shadows a crimi nal may merely be following his nat ural bent. "This Is a dead give-away," re marked the humorous millionaire as he signed his will. Many a- fellow refuses to lay some thing by for a rainy day so long aa he can borrow an umbrella. The fellow who Is regarded as one man in a thousand doesn't always In spire envy in the other 899. Experience is often dearly bought, and many a fellow would be glad to get rid of it for less than he paid for It. "It doesn't pay to trust a secret to the mails," remarked the Wise Guy.

"McFadden's Row of Flats," which will be at the Grand Thursday evening deals with a humorous exposition of life on the East Side district of New Vork. It is a farcei comedy that has weathered many successful seasons, yet seems to be as potent an attraction as when It was originally produced 14 years ago. This season all that remains of the old piece is Its title. The play has been thoroughly revised, fitted up with new scenery, stage and electrical effects, an entire new cast, and a brand new book and score. Shorn of his horns and cloven hoof and bearing no resemblance externally at last to the Old Nick of popular im agination. The Devil will be seen upon the stage of the Grand Saturday, Oc tober 24, matinee and night, when Henry W. Savage will offer the only authorized production of Franz Hol mar's startling drama which has aroused so much discussion in New York and the large eastern cities. The play is a recent importation from Eu rope, where early last year it was pro duced In Buda Pesth. Hungary.

The Colonial Belles was the attrac tion offered to the Topeka public at the Grand last night, as the week's bur lesque performance. This in a light musicale with a few lines which carry out a light sort of plot. Outside the musical numbers the Colonial Belles didn't amount to so much. There was a chorus of about the usual size, with the maidens all arrayed in Indian blankets, moccasins, war paint and other garb typical of the first American inhabitants. These were the colonial dames, and they whooped It up and made a noise like the "Injuns" at a modern war dance. Jhe comedy in the burlesque Is emit ted through the media of a Dutch bo gus count and an Irish politician and ,JFood- altn"s-h rather light. nTLesLtning about the Colonial Dames is the specialties of a vaudeville nature which are introduced.

There are some quite remarkable things happening every day, which seem p-most m'.rarulwis- Some persons wovld jnot believe that a man could suffer from coffee drinklig so severely as to cause spells of un consciousness. And to find complete relief ln changing frcn coffee to Tos- tum Is well worth recording. "I used to be a great coffee drinker. so much so that It was killing me by Inches. My heart became so weak I would fall and lie unconscious for an hour at a time. The -spells caught me sometimes two or three times a day. "My friends, and even the doctor, told me itwas 'drinking coffee that caused the trouble. I would not believe It. and still drink coffee until I could not leave my room. "Then my doctor, who drinks Pos tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof fee and try Postum. After much hesi tation I concluded to try It. That was eight months ago. Since then I have had but few of those spells, none for more than four months. I feel better, sleep better and am bet ter every way. I now drink nothing but Postum and touch no coffee, and as I am seventy years of age all my friends think the improvement quite remarkable." "There's a Reaosn." Name given by Postum Co..

Mrs. Earle C. Williams gave a small luncheon today at her apartment. 815 Topeka avenue, for the Misses Horton, of Colorado Springs, limiting her invi tations to their especial friends.

The Fluffy Ruffles club (but that name really belongs In the "Follies of 1907," and ought to be changed to something up-to-the-minute), will give a dance at Hudson's Friday evening. A good deal Is expected of a busi ness woman. Not only does she have to earn her salary, like a man. but sho must dresa like, her luckier sis ters, the lilies of the field who have nothing else to occupy their time. A man can dress for business, including the morning tub and shave, In a half hour or less. A woman is mighty quick if she can dress for the street in twice that time. What if man were obliged to put on a rat, switch, puffs and net. a hat with four or five hat pins and a veil fastened with three or dinary pins, one. veil pin and two hair pins? It costs a business woman twice as much money to dress as it costs a man ln the same station of life, and more than double the -time and energy, and she gets only about half as much salary.

It was a rainy evening and the P. W.

The odor of the burned food went all over the flat and she was so fussed by the ca tastrophe, that she scalded her fingers, burned a "holder," lost a paring knife and threw the grapes she had pre pared for salad into the garbage pail, instad of the seeds and stems. The omelette she had Improvised to take the place of the noodles she had burned, stuck to the pan; the biscuits didn't rise and the coffee boiled over. She went out on the back porch to bring in what the grocers' man had left and spilled a bag of apples. They rolled oft the porch and down to the ground two stories below.

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL-WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1908. THE OLD AND THE NEW MI IH Mil rH"l m i The success of modern methods is perhaps more clearly denned In the practice of medicine than In any other line of human endeavor. For Instance: Years ago remedies of Various kinds were used In treating consumption, and nine-tenths of the patients died. Today little medicine Is prescribed and they reeover. The doc tors have learned that the best way to combat most Ills Is by the Indirect meth od of stimulating the body's natural power of resistance. Consumption is much easier to prevent than to cure. Neglect of a common cold Is often the Starting point of this, dread disease. At the first indication of a cold every effort should be made to check it at once. It Is claimed that a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure, mixed with two ounces of Olycerine and five ounces of tincture of Cinchona compound, taken In teaspoonful doses very four hours, will break up a cold In twenty-four hours and- cure any cough that is curable. Get the Ingredlr nts separately and mix them your self. This formula has been In use for years. It was the favorite remedy of the old mountaineer, who would mace rate the shavings of a pine knot In whisky. Modern science has combin ed the active principles or tne rine ana Santalwood trees which is known un der the name of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure. This preparation is put up for dispensing only in half ounce vials, each vial securely sealed In a round wooden case, with an en graved wrapper, showing plainly the name and guarantee of the manufae r, as follows: Virgin Oil of Fine com pound pure, guaranteed under the Food and Drugs Act.

Judgo Taylor, who had a marvelous escape from night riders, has mnde the fol lowing statement concerning his ex perlence-s: i "Monday night last. Captain Rankin and I went to Reel Foot lake In re sponse to a letter from a Mr. Carpen 'ter. of Union City, who wanted to lease j some timber lands. On our arrival at the lake we wont to the log house, or "Ward hotel, and early after supper re tired. Some time during; the night we were aroused by some one knocking at lour door, and on npentng- the- door a mob of masked mcw-were fourwistand ling in the hall. Ve wrre ordered to I dress, and as the leader of" the mob said he wanted to talk to us. we put on our clothes and accompanied the men to the bank of the lake, some dis tance from the hotel. "Tho leader of the mob talked with lis, telling us we were associating too much with Judge Harris and were tak ing entirely too much Interest in the lake. He said that the course of Har ris and the West Tennessee La.nd com pany In prohibiting free fishing was causing the starvation of women and children, and that something had to be done. "I never dreamed that the mob in tended us any harm, but Just then they threw a rope about Captain Kankin's neck and swung him to a limb. He protested and t-ald. "Gentlemen; -do not kill me.' and the reply of the mob was a volley of 50 shots-. -V ,rKr vir- "This was the first evidence of any Intention to biirm us. and when the firing began I jumped Into a bayou and made for a sunken log. Behind this T hid and the mob fired several hun dred shots Into the log. They evident ly believed I was dead, for I heard one ot them say 'He's dead and let him go," and with that they rode away. "I remained in the water until after the mob was out of hearing and went to an Island in the lake where I remain ed all day Tuesday. At night I started out and walked all night, coming up to a house at 6 o'clock this morning." W. C. T. U. IN SESSION. Thirty-fifth Annual "Xaftorml Confer ence at Denver. Denver, Oct. 21.

Disappears While in Charge of Mrs. Thorpe. City Is Hearting a Rich Harvest From Crime. Mabel Porter, the 15-year-old col ored girl who was arrested Sunday night for being crazy drunk and who was paroled by Judge Hayden in the probate court Tuesday, escaped from Mrs. ThoTpe. the police matron, and Mrs. Malone, of. the Crlttenton home, Tuesday afternoon while being re turned to the city Jail. The case was a strange one. Mabel Porter has a bad reputation In th bottoms and she was arrested Sunday night by the police. Nearly all of hor clothes were torn off and she was minus her shoe when arrested. She had been the hostess to a party of three of her friend arid they did not treat her as guests generally do. Ma. be hired a hack In tho early evening and took her three friends on a beer and whisky picnic. Things went along smoothly until the. whisky took effect and then the hack was much too small for the crowd. They hung oit all the windows and on the sides until the police took charpe of the hack and made a patrol wagon out lit It. When Mabel was brought to the police station it was discovered that she was only 15 years old and h was tho proud possessor of an Inrant child. She was taken to the probate court at once and given a hearing before Judge Htiyden. Contrary to tho 'Ain't it awful" story In the morning paper. Judge Hayden decided that the only place for M&ble -was the Indus trial school. The case was dismissed, and Mrs. Thorpe, accompanied by Mrs.. Malone. started with the Porter girl for the city prison. Now Mabel had been de feated twice In attempts to escape from Mrs. Thorpe and the police ma tron called an officer to go with her to the probate court. After the trial no officer being available Mrs. Thorpe and Mrs. Malone Aeokled -to take Ma bel back to the city Jail alone. Every thing went along smoothly "until the young girl spied Johanne Dupree f Adams) and her crowd out in front of the city Jail. Johanne gave the sign of escape to Mabel, and with a quick wrench she Jerked loose from Mrs. Malone and darted like lightning down Van Buren street. This hap pened at the corner of Fifth, and Van Buren. Mrs. Thorpo ran into the sheriffs house and clear through the county jail without finding an officer except Jailer Baylis, who did not have a man to send. Before the police could be notified the Porter girl had gone out of fright and was hidden In a shack in the bottoms near the Rock Island yards. Officers have beaten the brush, but It Is like hunting for horse blankets and Mabel .Porter is a lost sheep. Juse before the stores, closed last night a gang of "kids" gathered In the alley behind the Crosby brothers store and began peppering the windows with rock;i and broken bricks. They did not have any excuse for the act ex cept to cause a little excitement. The police were called and before they could block the alley the youngsters had dis appeared. They did not cause very much damage as their excitement spoil ed their aim. It Is thought that they "had It In" for a little carrier who works In the store and wanted to hurt his business. A gang of six prisoners was put to work on the outslda d inside of the police station today and every window, piece of woodwork, and floor in the building has been thoroughly washed and scrubbed Whenever the Jailer runs out of hammers for the prisoners and the rocks run low. the prisoners are used to clean up the station. For the first time in many years it is possible to see out of the police station windows and natural light Is used in the day time Instead of electricity. If "Col." Hughes could only see the Jail now he would change his mind about a new building. The city Is making money out of crime this month. Before the month Is over the police will have made enough to cover their salaries. Over J600 has been turned over to Judge Urmy so far this month and ten days are left on the calendar. Gamblers have been the mist Important prisoners of war and their hostages are' filling the coffers. There are, very tew back fines as the Jailer has made extra' ef forts to collect them. It Is practically decided that no more of these promised payments will be accepted. If you can't pay your fine at once It is a trip to the rock pile and a temporary sojourn there. j Andy Dupree. who was hot caught In the big gamollng gang arrested Mon day night at 317 Kansas avenue, but who Is the leader of the gang and the financial end of their releases and slrateff-tes warn arretted today and will be tried as the chief.' crap sjioot'er'of the Thirteen. Dupree was out rushing the can when the raid was made and he failed to get the patrol ride. How ever evidence was strong enough against him and he Is in the lockup. He owns the building In which the business was run. Patrolman Wyatt was the main at traction at the handcuff stunt at the Majestic yesterday afternoon. Wyatt was the stage onlooker and he furnish ed the locks, seals, etc. He said tire crowd bothered him so much that he failed to make a close observation ot the proceedings and he does not know how the trick was performed. The crowd at the theater took more Inter est in Wyatfs continual grlr. than in the actors themselves. Chief of Police Baton again makes friends with the boys of the city. When he was truancy, officer many years ago, every school child In the city knew him and his little black pony. Then he. went to the Juvenile court and again' he made friends with the younger generations. Now he has come to the aid of the young Ameri cans by persuading the council to re duce the fine from five dollars to one dollar for riding on the state house grounds. Many a boy has saved up his nickels and dimes for months in order to pay a five dollar fine at the police station, but he will do so no more The chlew of police has realized the fool ishness and cruelty of charging such a fine on account of such a minor( of fense. A man can get drunk, swear at the pedestrians, reel from one sldo of the street to the other, make a pass at any one who attempts to quiet him and eat his meals at the city Jail together with a wear and tear on the' horsed and the hoodlum wagon. When he is brought before court the next day his fine is five dollars.. When a little boy rides on the very pavement that car riages, wagons and horses drive and when he is not bothering or insulting a bouI he Is fined five dollars. But thU will happenno more. A dollar will cover it all and ChiefEaton will claim another corner in the hearts of young America. The late bicycle scare Is having Its effects and isn't having Its effect. A man came to the station this morning and said he had left his bicycle stand ing. on Kansas avenue all night long and when he came down town in the morning It was still there He Is happy: Another man reported that his bicycle was stolen after It had been on the street but a few minutes. He Is sad. And still the station Is crowded with people claiming parts of the bicycles. One man came U- this morning and claimed an Inner tube oft one of the wheels. Contrary to expectations he failed to claim the air inside. Not a thing has been heard from the horse blanket thieves and Sunday night no robberies of this character were re ported to the police. The larger churches around the city were watched closely by the "fly cops." and not even a suspect was found. To tell the truth many of the church goers were afraid of the robberies and they did not carry blankets with them. Some of the. more cautious carried their belongings in side the church vestibules and left them there during the services. In the late raids tho police have failed to find any of the blankets on the beds of the captives. It is thought that this evil will be shut down for awhile.

"Bus" Cross, who was arrested yes terday for being caught with a gam bling gang, and who holds the record for Jail breaking In Topeka, Is the pos sessor of chains and handcuffs this morning and hels scheduled for thirty days days in the Eaton castle. The moats around the castle walls have been refilled with water and the draw bridge has been locked. Sentinels are everywhere and If "Bus" Cross escapes from the land of Topeka this time he will have to be a good one. When he finishes his term In the Cattle he wilt be taken to the Wilkerson Tower and again he will be guarded with archers. If the attorneys and the court do not whistle three times again. Cross will receive his Just reward state "pen." John Thomas and Ovanna Sims were arrested last night because they dis turbed the peaceful slumber of lower Kansas avenue. They were naturally drunk and unnaturally boisterous. Ten dollars apiece will make them right with the world again. Every time a man or woman is ar rested in the "Bottoms" he is followed by a gang of residents. The excuse of this gang of faithful followers may be based on natural curiosity but there is an "inside" to the whole business. The undercrust In" the so-called Bot toms' district is ruled over by a gang of drunkards and thieves. They arc supported by the sinful women and the agents of the crimes. Every move that a polireman make In this district Is watched like a hawk and even though the police h;-:ve given new plain clothes men this .'l ea;." the residents soon find it out. The most dangerous sign among the "Bottom toughs'1 Is the-sign of "escape." This sign is always .given by a number of the "curious" who never fa!', to follow up an arrest and attend to the prisoner's wants at the city JaiL j The sign of "escape" is a little wave of the right hand and the movement of the hand toward the north.. The move is a quick one and carr hardly be de tected. When a friend gives a prisoner this sign It means that he must escape In any manner possible. If he can break away from the police and run for safety he is supposed to do.lt.' If he has to hit a man over-the head Or even stab him to get away he must do it. Every man or woman .w-ho escapes has a place to go. There are hundreds of hiding places among the shacks in the Bottoms and they are carefully guard ed. Some of them are holes deep down In the sand. Others are secret pas sages through the endless number of shacks. Others are In between the walls and secret doorways are cut Into the walls. Sherlock Holmes would be amazed at the numerous devices known among the tough residents of the Bot- j toms and the police would be amazed at the unknown amount of .valuables j hid. in these places together with noto rlous characters who are wanted., in many states. Near n Flood at Guthrie. Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 21. The heaviest rain in jears fell here last night and the downpour still con tinued today. Five inches of water had fallen In -11 hours. Mild Laxative for Baby Free The child of today is the parent of me imure, ana wnetner n grows up healthy and strong, or puny and weak, depends upon t,he intelligence of Its parents, for most children are- born Into the world healthy but thousands become future weaklings between birth and the age of ten, when the parents are still In greatest control. The crime cause of trouble is In the stomach.

A special to tho Tribune from Alpena, Mich., says: Among the most thrilling experi ences of survivors of the Presque Isle county forest fires that of Miss Graco Barber, a school teacher. 19 yearn old, whose school In Krakow township was In session when the flames swept dowif upon the building Thursday. A terrified farmer had rushed Into the -building to give the alarm just as the rear of the school house caught fire. Tho young teacher marshalled her pupils in a double row, the largest at tne head and ordered-them to remain In close order and not to break the line. She then directed the leaders to head for a plowed, flel dnear by and tho column started on a runr. Miss Bar ber brlnjang up JjAe rear to prevent straggling. Burning embers fellthlck. but the teacher kept the children crowded close together;and every em her was extinguished) the instant It fell upon any child's -clothing. The fire ljumed srt ea,dHyi for-' some time as the blaze in the tops of the trees ate Its way down. Soon animals began to appear upon the edge of the field, and during-the night two bears made their appearance. A fox came slinking In, a.s did also a wlracat, rabbits, part rid-ges. But the animals kept away from the children; not even the bears offering hostile demonstrations. Miss Barber kept her charges in the field all Thursday night and In the morning sent ihem home In groups, piloting the smaller ones herself. LOCAL MENTION.

Her Figure is Trim, Her Form Sublime. The actress looked'debonair, though the play had been pronounced .a frost by the critics. "It's e-ot to succeed." she explained, "and for that reason I'm not nervous; Last season I played seven new parts and I burned a lot of good coin for costumes. This season I am radiating with health.

Tapp, presidential candidate of the Liberal party whose platform among other things demands woman's suffrage, was formally notified of his nomination by a meeting at Hull House in this city last night. Mr. Tapp, whose nomination was made at a convention held at Chatta nooga, Tenn., admitted that the cam paign had been begun too late by them to admit of successful organization this year in a number of states but he said: "At this time and place may I not ask those who believe In our princi ples in states where we have been un able to name presidential electors ow ing to our limited time, to go to the polls on election day 'and cast their votes for these principles by marking off the names of the electors of the other political parties." Mr. Tapp, who is a native of Georgia rose well over six feet when he aban doned his chair for the rostrum and be gan his address of acceptance. "We believe the hour has come in the history of this country when the two old political parties will decay." said Mr. Tapp, "they have served their day." Touching on the right of women to vote he said the world now recog nizes that every member of society that is made amenable to law, should have a voice in making the law, that every member of society that supports the government should have a voice as to how the government should be con ducted. "For thousands of years, woman was the slave of man, for centuries she was held as his property, for generations she was denied the right to own pro perty. This enlightened age repudiates this barbarism of other times. But while woman is now physically free she is not legally free. The Liberal party declares that she shall be made legal. ly free and given all the rights under the law which are given to men. Mr. Tapp In closing declared in favor MRS. GOOD HOUSEWIFE.

Chafln, prohibition candidate for president, spoke to a large crowd here Tuesday. He referred to the fact that a large number of men in the Re publican and Democratic parties be lieved in prohibition, and said: "If ope-third of the prohibitionists in the country vote for me, I shall be elected." He was rather hoarse, and in allud ing to this, he said that he had been in the campaign for 91 days, and had visited 21 states and made on an aver age five speeches a day. MORE GAS AT ELMDALE. Big Well Struck Which Can Be Heard Roaring for Miles. Elmdale, Kan., Oct. 21. Another big gas well has been struck north of Elmdale. which promises to be the biggest spouter In the field thus far. It hafl a pressure of 150 pounds to the square Inch, and may be heard roar ing for a distance of two or three miles. This is the particular sort of well which can be, used to the most advantage in piping gas for long dis tances. The gas company says it will have the gas In Emporia before November 15. and that it will be here before the people are ready to put it in. Emporia people may cook their thanksgiving turkeys on fires made from natural gas, and may expect to toast their shins around fires made from the same source on the same day. GUY RAZOR HELD.

The Plate's strongest evidence was the tracks left in the dust of the road by the horso and buggy which car ried the girl to the place where her body was found. The tracks tallied with the peculiar shoeing of Razor's horse. Why bathe with n greasy pore-clogging soap. The lather of Jap Rose is All bubbles. It can't clog the pores. All dealers sell it. CHEER FOR BRYAN Candidate Giren Unprecedented Oration at LouisTille. Only With Difficulty Could En thusiasm II? Checked. HE MADE 3 SPEECHES. Talked in Hall and Then In Park Outside. He Also Addressed a Delegation of Railroad Men. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 21. Passing in review before thousands of people along the line of march, followed by a parade of many hundreds of march ers and speaking to more people than the sound of his. voice could reach, W. J. Bryan last night made a brief sally south of the Ohio river. The rally in Louisville was for Mr. Bryan, the culmination of one of the busiest days of the campaign and the out pouring here equalled and possibly surpassed anything in the way of a demonstration that the candidate has met with since he was notified of his nomination. From the time he left New Albany, Indiana, Just across the river, until he spoke his final word of farewell, Mr. Bryan was the recipient of a con tinuous ovation. Arriving at Phoenix Hill park, Mr. Bryan was cheered for fifteen minutes and It was only with difficulty that the crowd could be in duced to check the enthusiasm long enough to allow him to speak. He found it necessary to deliver three ad- raccoo nn A sv i Tl o llianoA t Viol nolr I ed Phoenix hall,- another to an even larger crowd In the park outside, and a third to the paraders massed In an open space near the park. He also made a short speech at two other places, one of them being addressed to a delegation of railroad employes. In beginning each of his three speeches, Mr. Bryan devoted consider able attention to the welcome given him. Tour a Notable One. The tour today of Mr. Bryan through Indiana was a notable one. Accustomed though he is to large crowds and lusty cheers, the demon stration accorded him today was com mented upon by the candidate as be ing exceedingly gratifying. A pleas ing feature of the trip was the re peated calls for Mrs. Bryan who shared in the handshaking with her husband. She was overwhelmed with attention at every point where a stop was made, and was the recipient of many handsome floral pieces. The Democrat candidate delivered hi3 first of sixteen speeches of the day at Hammond, at 7:30 o'clock. His voice was in splendid shape and he commanded the strict attention of his many audiences. His favorite themes today were the planks of the Demo crat platform relating to labor, the guaranty of bank deposits and the publicity of campaign contributions and he frequently aroused his audi tors to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He appealed for support of the Demo crat party on the ground that It was nearly to the people ana pledged him self, if elected, to devote all his energies to the fulfillment of the promises contained in his platform. He denounced the banker who would gamble on the stock market and thereby place In Jeopardy the funds in trusted to his care. To the laboring man he pointed to Mr. Taft as their enemy, and to the farmers he said that Mr. Taft had nothing to offer in the way of relief. President Roose velt was scored for the part he has played in the campaign. The whole Journey was made in a special train and the route traversed was almost in a straight line south of Chicago.

(o)5)(S Bryan said in part: "I called attention yesterday to the tact that the Republican congressional committee has not promised to make known its contributions even after the election When the Republican na tional committee announced its contri butions to the committee would be made public after- the election it con demned the policy of secrecy as to con tributions though it refused to give the people the benefit of the publicity until after the votes are polled. Will the Re publican committee now announce its policy. If it refused to promise pub licity even after the election what con clusion shall we draw from its silence? It comes under the condemnation of the Republican national committee, there can be but one explanation of its refusal to give the names of contribu tors and that explanation is that the congressional committee is to be made the blind pool into which money will be poured which will be too tainted to give to the Republican national com mittee. I demand an answer to the question Will the Republican congres sional committee promise to give to the public the names of the contribu tors to the congressional fund. The campaign is drawing to a close. We have collected something like $260,000 on the 5th of October and the chairman announced that we would need about $100,000 more for the completion of the campaign. The Republican committee has refused to tell the public how much it has collected but Republican news papers announce money has been pour ing into the treasury lately and large sums would be sent into the doubtful states. "What use is to be made of these large sums at this period of the cam paign? It is not to be used for litera ture, the time for the circulation of literature has almost passed. It Is not to be used for the perfecting of the organization for the organization has already been perfected. What other use can. be contemplated except the pur chase of such votes as can be purchas ed.. "The Republican leaders have not scrupled at purchasing in the past, and I call vour attention to the fact that purchase is now contemplated whenever a purchasable voter can be found. How long will the American people permit, the corruption of poli tics by the predatory interests? How long can the Republican party claim to be a moral agency while its leaders resort to the secret contributions and to the enormous corruption fund." Discusses Panic Question. Oh the panic question he said: "We have had three panics since 1860 and all three of them came un der high tariffs and two of them un der Republican presidents. The panic of '73 came under the Morrill high tariff, the panic of '93 under the Mc Kinley high tariff a year before that law was repealed. The panic of 1907 came under the Dingley high tariff. Here we have every panic in the last forty-eight years coming while a high tariff law was in force. The tariff is a panic breeder and those who favor a high tariff are impotent to protect their country from business depres sion. Statistics show there were more business failures the first nine months of this year than there were the first nine months of 1893 or the first nine months of 1894. The failures were greater during the first nine months of this year under the-Dingley high tariff than they were in 1895 or 1896 under the Wilson bill. In spite of this rec ord. Mr. Taft has the audacity to threaten a panic if salaries are with drawn from Republican officials. It Is time for the Fepublican leaders to explain why these panics have come under the highest tariff rates .this country has known. 'The only assur ance of permanent and universal prosperity is to he. found in the' Demo cratic poiicles which are the reduction of taxation, the lowering of the tariff, the prevention eof the rtusts. the reconciliation of labor and capital and the protection of deposits. Upon this foundation prosperity can return, and returning, can remain." EPIDEMIC OF FEVER. It Is Thought That House Flies Are Carrying the Disease. Chicago, Oct. 21. The village of Maywood is suffering from an epi demic of typhoid fever. Twenty-five cases have been reported In the last ten days, with one death. Several are said to be In a critical condition at the present tim e. It Is the belief of the suburb's board of health that the infection has been caused by house flies carrying disease germs from the Desplaines river, which at present is stagnant and low; also from the mouths of sewers open ing into the stream. The milk fur nished to the villagers and water from the municipal plant have been ana lyzed and found to be free from germs. OF IXCEXDIARY ORIGIN Was a Fire In DeitTer Which Caused $450,000 Loss. Denver. Oct. 21. Fire, evidently of in cendfirv origin, destroyed the elevator of the Hungarian Mills company at an early hour this morning, causing a loss of $450. 000. In the elevator was stored 4flO.0X bushels of wheat, which was consumed. About one o'clock the police officer on the heat noticed two men loitering in the neighborhood of the elevator and when he approached they started to run. The officer eave chase, but the men disappear ed in the darkness. When he returned the elevator was in flames from fires that had been startrd at several points. An alarm was turned in. but the fire depart ment was unable to check the flames, whlrh had oracticallv doomed the building before their arrival.
