J ll i POLITICAL GOSSIP Republican Committee Fires Final Broadside. Malls Two Hundred Thousand Letters to Voters. BIG POSTAGE BILL. Two Thousand Dollars Expend ed in One Lump. Circulars Devoted to Defense of New Tax Law. Two hundred thousand letters, each to a different address, each bearing a one cent stamp, and each containing a flnaf dose of Republican campaign med icine, were placed in the Topeka post office Friday. Every voter In every county In Kan sas which Is considered doubtful will get one of these letters In time for his Sunday reading. The 200,000 letters filled 50 big mail nacks. The postage Item alone was $2. 000. A score of extra helpers hired by the state central committee have been working constantly In getting these letters ready for the past ten days. In addition nearly all the clerks at the etate house have volunteered their ser vices, and have worked at odd times. and until late at night addressing envel opes and sticking the stamps on them. It Is the first time in the history of Kansas politics that such a task has been undertaken or carried to comple tion. Never before has the state com mittee of either party attempted to Bend direct to two-thirds of the voters in Kansas a personal letter. The state committee frequently send out two or three thousand letters at one time, but 200,000 Is quite a different proposition. The plan for sending a direct appeal to the voters of Kansas was suggested by J. C. Gafford, assistant secretary of the committee, who has used this meth od of compaigning with success In his own county. Chairman Dolley left the whole business of getting out the 200, 000 letters to Mr. Gafford. Two kinds of letters were sent out, one kind to Democrats and one to Re publicans. The letters were identical except that In the letter to Republi cans there was a special appeal from Chairman Dolley that they should get out and work for the ticket. Aside from this special appeal to Re publican voters, each envelope contain ed two circulars. One Is a general sum mary of the campaign and remarks con cerning the candidates. It also gives a letter from Chairman Dolley to the vot ers of the state, and pictures of .Taft, Sherman. Stubbs and Bristow. The other circular, which appears to be more hastily prepared, discusses some of the attacks which the Demo crats have been making on the Repub licans, especially the tax law, the In dian land charge against Stubbs, and the coolie labor charge against Bris tow. Some Important statistics are pre sented to show that Kansas railroads are assessed this year on their full value. The circular loses much of Its force because It Is thrown together In such a confused mass that many peo ple will not take the time to puzzle it all out. It opens up with the announcement that every Democratic representative and senator but one voted for the new tax law. It cites the fact that Chair man Henderson Martin of the Demo crats has tried to make It appear that the law was a "Republican measure," and hence a measure which was hostile to Democrats and the Demo cratic party. It then goes on to cite some effects of the law on prominent Democrats of the state. Statistics are presented to show that the Democratic charges concern ing railroad and bank taxes decreasing in Kansas are false. Comparisons are madtt of the railroad valuation In Kansas and in other states, which show that Kansas railroads are assessed higher both in gross and per mile that the railroads of neighbor ing states. Concerning the Democratic charge that J. L. Bristow advocates the im portation of coolie labor, Mr. Bristow himself is quoted as follows: "I am not in favor of the im portation of coolie labor and never have been. I have never advocated it either directly or indirectly. I am In favor of a high scale of wages be lieving that the wage schedule in America Is the best index to our pros perity. I believe that the men who op.-rate railway trains should be paid most liberal wages. The character of the service. its dangers, and the hardships attending it justify a higher wage scale than other employments." Inquiries made by long distance phone, under direction of the Repub lican state central committee, of a large number of county clerks' of the state, indicate that the claim of the Democratic state committee that rail road taxes in Kansas have been de creased by the new tax law, and farm taxes increased. Is a condition which exists in comparatively few counties of the state. i Telephone calls were put in for near- I ly all counties which can be reached by telephone from Topeka. and 32 coun ties have been heard from. Out of this list only three reported a decrease in railroad taxes and an increase in farm taxes. The county clerk of Cherokee county which is the home of Col. Kin Sapp, one of the chief investigators of the Demo cratic fight on the tax law. reported that almost everv farm in the county will pay less taxes than last year, and that the railroads will also pay less taxes, but not as much of reduction as the reduction on farm lands. Neosho county, the home of H. P. Farrelly, candidate for United States senator on the Democratic ticket re ports that Mr. Farrelly's assessment was raised from $350 in 1907 to J4.620 in 1908. an increase of about 13 times which indicates that Mr. Farrelly cer tainly had nothing to complain of un der the old method of assessment and taxation. The following Is a brief summary of the reports from the various counties: Shawnee Farm taxes increased $9. 800; railroad taxes increased $24,000. Neosho Farm taxes decreased; tab ulation of railroad tax not completed. Marlon Farm and railroad tuxes both decreased in about same ratio. Riley Farm and railroad taxes both Increased In same ratio. Linn Farm and railroad taxes about same as last year. Montgomery Farm and railroad taxes both lower. Morris Farm taxes same aa last year; railroad taxes increased.

The presence of the second squadron of the American bat tleship fleet at Amoy, where the ves sels arrived yesterday and where the men are now being entertained by the Chinese government, is hardly known In Pekin. The Chinese newspapers have said nothing at all about the visit, and the occurrence is being com pletely ignored both officially and otherwise, so far as Pekin is concern ed. This probably is because the festivities in connection with the birthday of the empress dowager are coincident with the entertainment of the visiting Americans. The Japan newspapers alone In Pekin have any information regarding the doings at Amoy. Up to 6 o'clock this evening the foreign board had no news of the arrival of the warships and was still awaiting their coming. Neither had the American legation received any rifws. The only member of the lega tion at Amoy is Captain James H. Reeves, the military, attache. This silence is the more remarkable because the native press has during the past few weeks given much space to promulgating the idea of an alli ance with the United States. TO COUNT THE CASH. Subtreasury Employes at New York Have a I5iiJ Job. New York, Oct. 31. Following the resignation of Hamilton Fish as as sistant treasurer of the United States, in charge of the subtreasury here, a corps of bookkeepers under the direc tion of United States Treasurer Treat today began checking over the books of the office. While this task is a big one, it does not compare with the work required to count the cash in the vaults, which work will be taken up as soon as the checking of the books has been completed. There is in the vaults approximately $173 mil lion in gold coin; $17 million in cur rency and $80 million in silver coin and all of this must be counted and verified piece by piece. The money Is in sealed bags and packages but the mark on each of these must be verified by the actual counting of the contents. The work will probably re quire at least a month. The counting is only done when an assistant treas urer leaves the office. Mr. Fish re signed as assistant treasurer in order to accept a nomination for congress. METCALF RUMOR. Story That He Is About to Resign .Reaches Washington. Chicago, Oct. 31. A dispatch to the Tribune fom Washington, D. C., says: A rumor that Victor H. Metcalf. sec retary of the nav had resigned be cause of III health and was to be suc ceeded by T. H. Newberry of Detroit, has floated into Washington from De troit. At the White House a statement was made that nothing was known there of the reported change. Mr. Metcalf is 111 at his home in Washington. It has been the understanding here that Secretary Metcalf would leave office at the close of the Roosevelt ad ministration. The rumor is believed to be a case of coming events casting their shad ows before.

HIS LASnVOfiU Bryan Closes His Campaign In the Eastern States With a Final Appeal to Voters for Support. HE GIVES A SUMMARY Of All the Arguments Used on the Stump. Closes With a Protest Against Rooserelt's Coarse of Action. Winchester, Ind., Oct. 31. W. J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate. In winding up his tour of the east, made public the following appec! to the pub lic: As the campaign draws to a close certain issues stand out clearly. Tha Democratic party attempts to In augurate an era of honesty in politics by compelling the publication of cam paign contributions before the election. It seeks to bring the government near er to the people by securing the elec tion of United States senators by di rect vote. It seeks to restore competi tion through legislation which will make a private monopoly impossible. It seeks to reconcile labor and capital by legislation which will bring employer and employe together in co-operation, and to this end it proposes the creation of a department of labor with a secre tary of labor in the cabinet; an amendment to the anti-trust law, which will exclude the labor organiza tion from the operation of that law; the limitation of the writ of injunction so that it will not be issued, in a labor dispute unless conditions are such as would Justify an injunction even if there were no labor disputes, and trial by jury in cases of indirect contempt. It seeks to secure legislation which win create a guarantee fund sufficient to insure all depositors against loss. It seeks to secure a reduction of the tariff by gradual steps until the tariff laws will no longer be made in the interest of the few and at the expense of the rest of the people. The Democratic party, in other words, seeks to secure honesty in gov ernment through honest policy and popular government through direct elections. It desires to secure peace in industry, competition in trade, security to depositors, and Justice to taxpayers. The Democratic party appeals to the awakened conscience of the nation and the sense of Justice in the human heart and to the growing desire for brother hood. -With a Democratic victory for the national ticket, with a Democratic congress and with the moral force of a popular verdict I believe we can com pel the senate to yield to the ex pressed will of the people and permit the passage of the more urgent of the reforms. The Democratic party offers the only prospect of remedial legislation and while it does not go as far as some re formers would like to go a Democratic victory will secure as much of reform as is now attainable in fact the only reform that is within reach. We hav9 a right to expect, therefore the co operation of those who favor the re forms set forth in our platform. The attempt to terrorize the Ameri can voter by the threat of a panic will not succeed. We have had three panics in 48 years, the panic of 1873, the panic of 1893 and the panic of 1907, and two of these panics came under a high tariff and each of them came under a Republican president. Mr. Taft says that a panic will come if I am elected. Let him give bond that this panic will go if he is elected. When he says that a Democratic victory will bring a panic he expresses an opinion. When I say that a disastrous panic came last fail without waiting for a Democratic vic tory I state a fact that can not be dis puted. Our platform presents a plan for the restoration of prosperity upon a permanent basis a prosperity in which all will share. The Republican party has no plan that contemplates either the present relief or the continued wel fare of the people. The Republican candidate has the prestige that comes from the fact that his party is in power. He has the aid of an army of office holders. He has the support of all the monopolies and law-destroying trusts, he has a large campaign fund, the source of which his committee refuses to disclose, and most of the leading newspapers are with him and the interests which he represents. I insist that It is not fair for the presi dent to use his office an office that be longs to all the people, as if it were a party asset or a personal asset and enter actively into the campaign. It offends the sense of Justice and ought to arouse a protest from those who be lieve that in the selection of the chief executive the people should be abso lutely free to choose whom thev please. WILLIAM J. BRYAN. CAMPAIGNING IX LVDLWA. Bryan Continues His Attacks on Rockefeller and Carnegie. Winchester, Ind., Oct. 31. After issuing a formal appeal to the people of the United States for support of the Democratic national ticket Wil liam J. Bryan at this place today re newed his attacks on John D. Rocke feller" and Andrew Carnegie because of the strictures upon him in connec tion with their announcement that they favored the election of Mr. Taft. To a great crowd assembled in Franklin street. Democracy's leader, in discussing the trusts said: "Kvery trust magnate is support ing Taft, the Republican candidate and yesterday morning Mr. Rocke feller came out and asked for his election. Why does Rockefeller stand for Taft? Because Taft stands for Rockefeller. Why does Carnegie stand for Taft? Because Taft stands for Carnegie. Why does the Biscuit company stand for Taft? Because he stands for their trust. Why does the tobacco company stand for him? Be cause he stands for them. "These trusts are right In support ing him. They would not be errate ful if thev did not. They would not have much sense If they did not. for they know that if I am elected the spike will be put on the big criminals as well as the little ones and there fore they are for him.

She, It Was, Who Established the Famous "400." New York, Oct. 31. Mrs. Wm. Astor, who for 30 years has been regarded as the social leader of New York, died last night of heart disease at her home on Fifth avenue. For nearly four week3 Mrs. Astor, who was 82 -ears old, had been in a critical condition owing to the return of a heart affection that had given her trouble for years. The society functions given and pre sided over by Mrs. Astor have gone down into historv as among the most brilliant on record. It is said the ball room in the mansion on Fifth avenue would accommodate 1.000 people. It was Mrs. Astor who established the famous "400." her visiting list being confined to that number of names. In 1905, however, she was said to have "let down the bars," when she Invited 1,200 persons to one of the most memorable social events ever given in New York. The Astor jewels were worn by her on this occasion. It is said the Astor em eralds are the finest in the world. Wm. Astor, her husband, died in Paris in 1892. Mrs. Astor, before her marriage, was Miss Caroline Schermer horn, a daughter of Abraham Scherm erhorn, a well to do merchant. She was married to Wm. Astor September 23, 1853. John J. Astor was their only son. There were four daughters, two of them, Mrs. Ogilvie Haig and Mrs. Orma Wilson, now living. ONE VOLLEY ENOUGH. Mutinous Outbreak Among Turkish Troops Is Suppressed. Constantinople, Oct. 31. A threat ened outbreak on the part of a com pany of Turkish troops attached to the garrison at Yildez Kiosk was prompt ly put down this morning with a single volley from a loyal battalion. Three of the mutineers were killed and 15 wounded. The mutinous spirit manifested Itself when the company was assem bled and threatened for a few mo ments to result in serious trouble. But a hurry order was issued and a bat talion from a regiment recently brought in from Salonika was march ed to the scene and one volley sufficed to cow the mutineers. The rebellious troops were under orders to leave for the provinces, but they refused to depart, withdrew to a field near the barracks, and defied their officers. The battalion from Salonica. which was drafted into the capital, especially because the men are staunch suppor ters of the constitution, was ordered to attack the rebels. "Thev fired one vol ley, with the result above set forth, after which the mutineers surrendered and were made prisoners. Later they were drawn up on the public square, tied together and exhibited to the as sembled troops as rebels who had broken their military oa!h. This prompt suppression is expected to have a salutary effect on the remain der of the Yildez Kiosk garrison, which is suspected of being antagon istic to the constitution. WAITING ON ELECTION. Stock Market Is Steady But Not Very Active. New York, Oct. 31. The stock market during the week has been dis posed to wait on the result of the elections but with a feeling of confi dence in improved conditions after they are passed. Some profit taking sales were in evidence prompted by the high level at which prices ruled and by apprehension that such selling after the elections would overbear the expected new demand. The action of the market in face of these sales in dicated the unrelinquished control of the powerful financial forces whli have dominated the market for months. Money continued easy. The United States steel quarterly report, higher prices for copper and improving gross earnlners of railroads were the con spicuous indications of the Improved tendency of business. OUT FOR UNCLE JOE. Voters of Vermillion County Unite In Bis Demonstration. Danville, 111., Oct. 31.

A passage way was made from the Taft car to the platform along the railroad station, but the police had a hard time keeping the crowd back and it took five minutes for Mr. Taft to reach the platform, which was only 50 feet from the car, because of hand shaking he was compelled to do on the way. He was introduced by Mr. Fassett, Mr. Taft said: "I note this is the old county of Governor and Senator David B. Hill and I know that he used to count on it as a Democratic county; but I am glad to know that under the mission ary influence of Brother Fassett this county is being redeemed from Demo cracy and will roll up a majority in favor of the national ticket and Governor Hughes on Tuesday next." After discussing the panic of last fall, Mr. Taft concluded: "The men who control capital in Europe and this country are the men who will insist on having a certain business future and unless they invest their cartwheels will not go round, new construction will not begin and the depression will continue for four years. Therefore my friends, I don't urge you to vote the Republican ticket. I only point to the fact, and I know by looking into your eyes and seeing your long heads what the re sult is going to be."

Victim of Automobile Accident Puzzles the Surgeons. New York, Oct. 81. With his skull factured in two places, Clarence Mitchell, ten years old, has lived for eight days at St. Joseph's hospital, Yonkers, and there seems to be no probability of hia immediate death. Surgeons consider the case very un usual. They say that it is, perhaps, the first case on record where per son has lived so long after a fracture at the base of the skull. The second fracture is in the arch of the skull. The boy was run down by an automo bile and although the hospital sur geons operated on him immediately, they had no hope that he would live more than a few hours. He has not recovered consciousness and all the nourishment the nurses have been able to give him has been milk. HE CLAIMS 325 VOTES. Clialrman Hitchcock Gives Out His Forecast of the Election.

He also includes in the Republican columns Nebraska, Mon tana. Maryland and Nevada. In ex plaining his list, Mr. Hitchcock said that he believed the chances were even in Kentucky and Missouri, with their 13 and 18 votes respectively. If by chance any of the states claimed should go Democratic, he said, they would be Maryland, Montana and Ne vada, with a total of 14 votes. Tis would leave a Republican margin of 69 and of this advantage he expressed himself as perfectly confident. The national chairman does not Include Tennessee and Oklahoma in his list and concedes that the chances in these states are against the Republican tick et. His foreaast, Mr. Hitchcock said, was based upon information received by him from party leaders throughout the United States.

Following up the statement issued last evening from the White House regarding the an nouncement made by John.D. Rocke feller of his preference for Mr. Taft in the presidential struggle, a second statement was issued today as fol lows: "The president has received numer ous letters and telegrams showing that this trick of Rockefeller, doubtless made by agreement with the Demo cratic party will fail absolutely. It is self evident on its face, as Mr. Taft has said, that if Mr. Rockefeller had really wanted him elected he would have kept quiet about him and that he has come out for him as being the way in which he can damage him most.". The following telegram also was made public: "Cleveland, O., Oct. 31, 1908. "The President: The labor vote will not be deceived by Rockefeller's political trick. We will bury him with Tom Johnson. Cuyahoga county is as safely Republican as the state of Ohio and the electoral college. "A. U FAULKNER, "President of the Window Glass Workers of America." AWARDED $17,500.

Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 31. After be ing out two hours, the Jury In the case of Theodore Whitmore, on trial for the murder of his wife, whose battered body was found on December 26 of last year in a swamp near Harrison, N. J., last night returned a verdict of not guilty.

Chicago and Minnesota Will Furnish Good Game. Special Train of the Gophers to. Windy City. In tho Game at Annapolis Car- lisle Has Advantage. West Point. N. V or ai n first time in two years the elevens of Princeton university and the United States military academy face each omer on tne football field today. The weather conditions at the outset of the day were fine as marfe tn r.rAr and a hard and fast fight was assured. Great as was the interest in the game xor its own sake there was even mors In relation Of the KtrUCffla tn thnn to come. If the cadets won then Princeton's chances against Yale would iu Biumi, it is saia, wnne tne west Painters mle-ht hnn. tn their defeat by the navy last year. If reverse were true men Yale would be worried and Annapolis happy. Princeton Is generally admitted to be weaker than last season and "on paper" should drop the game; but the new football is so uncertain that it is almost impossible to forecast re sults. Two weeks ago the army was favorite against Yale, but two unex pected penalties cost them the con tests. Princeton has made almost un limited shifts to strengthen the team, lately even taking two candidates for center rush and placing them at end. The increase of the coaching staff by addition of several old "grads" and the return to the line up of Full Back McGrahan has produced a marked improvement. West Point was expected to be stronger today than when she met Yale, constant practice despite rain and muddy fields has perfected a number of open plays Including the forward pasB and wide circling end runs. Grebel has proved especially effective against the "scrubs" on the latter plays. The army, it was thought, would be handicaped by the absence through injuries of Wood at quarter and Chamberlain at full back, both of whom put up a strong game against Yale. GREAT CONTEST EXPECTED. Spceclal Train of Gophers Go to Chi cago Football Game. Chicago, Oct. 31. Preparations for the great football contest between -Chicago and Minnesota began early today. The arrival of- the Minnesota enthusiasts on a special train dotted the downtown streets with the Minnesota colors and the vanguard of attendants made an early start for Marshall field. Coach Stagg reported his squad in excellent condition for the contest for the western championship and Coach Williams and Minnesota stars were un animous in declaring that a Chicago victory would be accepted without de mur as proving Chicago's right to the title. The lineup of the teams who were on the field for early practice was: Chicago. Position. Minnesota. Schommer L. E Pettijohn Hoffman L. T., Young Hirschl L. G Ostrand Badnoch C SafTord Elliott R. G Rosenwald Kelley R. T Farnham Page R- E Dademacher Steffen Q Akinson Iddings L. H McGovern Crowley .........R. H Hubbard Worth wine F Plankers Average weight of teams: Chicago 168 9-11 pounds; Minnesota 174 pounds. THE SCORE A LOW ONE. Vanderbilt Hopes to Make Good Show-' Ing Against Michigan. Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct, 31. Southern hopes were high when Vanderbilt uni versity lined up on Ferry field today for the annual football- game with the University of Michigan. Although the southerners were much lighter in weight than the Michigan team it was expected that their speed and Captain Vaughn Blake's kicking ability would enable them to at least to hold the heavier northern team to a low score and perhaps score themselves. Both teams were in splendid condi tion and fit for a hard struggle. It was felt that much of the result of the game would probably hinge upon the kicking proficiency of Captain Blake and Halfback Allerdice of Michi gan. Coaeh Yost said that while Mich igan has a much superior line, lack of experience handicaps the team. While Coach McUuggln aid not expect a vic tory over Michigan he said he felt sura that the score would be a low one, ad ding that in the new game results are always uncertain. INDIANS VS. THE MIDDIES. Carlisle and Annapolis Will Have Ex citing struggle. Annapolis, Md., Oct. 81.- Today, the date of the Carlisle Indian-Midshipman football dawned Ideally for the sport. Interest among navy peo ple generally is at a high pitch and the prospects of as good a game as was ever played on the academy grid iron are bright. Both the Indians and the midshipmen played among the "big four" last Saturday sid each held their respective opponent to the same score: The Indians tied Penn sylvania and the midshipmen tied Harvard. In- both games the figures were the same 8 to 6. Additional Interest is caused by the fact that thjs is the first time the speedy redskins have played the midshipmen for six years. Then the sailors won but there was some disagreement over the contest and' athletic relations were discontinued. Since that time both institutions have come to be recog nized by the bigger teams of the country as more worthy opponents than in earlier years. Navy having tied Harvard and the Indians suc- (Continued on Page Four.)

Arkansas and Oklahoma struggled to the last minute In a football game here Fri day, the result of which was In favor of Oklahoma by score of 17 to E. According to score the Sooners had an easy time In winning, but the Razor- backs were in the game every minute for the Sooners. After seven minutes of play. Mil ford, star of .the Arkansas right half back, ran twenty yards for the first touchdown of the game. It seemed then that Oklahoma was completely outclassed, but the Sooners woke up and In a few minutes they had tied the Bcore. During the first half Oklahoma made nine points and Arkansas five. The ball was In Oklahoma's territory most of the half and the Razorbacks played better ball, but in the second half Arkansas weakened and Okla homa took advantage of this and run the score to 27 points. No changes were made for the sec ond half In either team. Key Wolfe said at the beginning of that half that the Sooners would win the game easily, while Captain Nelson doubted this statement. During the entire game the Sooners worked the for ward pass to great effect, while Arkansas failed almost every at tempt. The game started at 4 o'clock and Armstrong kicked to Hlckson, who re turned It twenty yards. Oklahoma was penalized for holding. After a few gains by the Racorbacks, Milford ran for a touchdown. Fleming failed at goal kick. Capshaw made several long runs, then English re ceived a forward pass and ran thirty yards for Oklahoma's first touchdown, Armstrong failing to kick goal. Cap shaw got away for forty yards, but was called back. Next play he got forty more and was downed by Sparks on the two-yard line. Oklahoma fumbled the ball and Arkansas kicked. At the beginning of the second half Oklahoma worked its way down to Ar kansas' 20 yard line and Armstrong made goal by a place kick. "Wantland and Capshaw made runs of 40 yards at thos tome.

New York will get Its only real taste of football this fall next week. This will be the game between Fordham and George town at American league park on election day, Tuesday, November 3, and the Saturday game at the Polo grounds between Princeton and Dartmouth. This game promises to be the real big event of the year, as Dartmouth has always been a thorn in the side of Princeton, and the little team from New Hampshire has been making a good record so far this season. The same cannot be said of Princeton. Fordham has coma to the front rapidly this year, their defeat of Am herst and the good showing against Princeton giving them great prestige for a minor school. Georgetown has one of the strongest teams in years, and the battle between the two on election day is sure to be a hard one. Sallna 24, Minneapolis 10. Salina. Kan., Oct. 31. Minneapolis was defeated here by tne local high school team by a score of 24 to 10. The visitors were completely out classed. Quincy's spectacular playing was the feature of the game.

President Comiskey of the White box win re turn today with the party of nim rods he took to the Wisconsin wilds two weeks ago. With the return of the big chief something soon will be made known concerning tne American leaeuer's plan for next season. The details of arranging the training trip to the Pacific coast will be taken up right away and dates scheduled. Althoueh the White Sox have some promising material coming, it is proD able that the team will line up for Its opening game next -April with veterans in their old places. There doubtless will be a few changes, but for the most part the team will closely resemble the team of tbe past few seasons. In all Drobablllty "Jiggs" Donohue will be back at first, with Isbell cov ering second base in place of George Davis. Davis couldn't cover much ground last season. The number of base hits that whizzed past him and the kind he used to simply eat up was something awful. While Walsh, White and Smith will again form the foundation of the pitching staff and do most of the work, it is possible that one of the raft of recruits may show big league pitching form. Or It is possible that Nick Altrock may come back to 1906 form. Undoubtedly a lot of the dead wood will be cut out. A Fight for Papke. Los Angeles, Oct. 81.- Billy Papke, middleweight champion, affixed his signature last night to articles calling for a glove contest of K5 rounds witn Hueo Kellv before the Jeffries club In this city within thirty days. Kelly is certain to agree to the terms, it Is said. ceded to Wolgast's original demands. Wolgast evidently considers Attel too tough a proposition at present and his Judgment is indorsed by fight follow ers here. Freddy Welsh probably will be substituted, and if so, pugilistic experts predict one of the greatest boxing exhibitions ever seen in the country. GiU May Buy a Franchise. Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 81. Warren Gill, former Grand Rapid's first base man, is likely to purchase the Grand Rapids- franchise in the Central league from Bert Annis, the South Bend owner, who bought it from the league last season. Gill is popular with Grand Rapids fans, and they are all anxious for him to buy it. "Presi dent F. P. Carson has told Annis that he cannot hold two franchises. Grant to Coach Gophers. Boston, Oct. 31. Dick Grant, the famous Harvard and Canadian ath lete, is considering an offer from the board of control of Minnesota univer sity to take charge of the track team there. The offer was made some time ago, and Grant, his friends say, prac tically has decided to accept. He has visited Minnesota since receiving the offer and has looked things over. TRADE IS LIGHT.

Except at Chicago and New York where some good business has been done in wholesale lines for spring first and second hand distribution has been confined to filling in and immediate shipment proportions. Current dis tribution as a whole is still reported below last year at the corresponding date except at a few points in the northwest. Perhaps the most active line at wholesale is that cotton 'goods for spring. The clothing trade is rather quiet as a whole, being affected by past previous weathers, but men's wear woolen re-orders, for spring re ported better and there has been the largest week's business in raw wool l done this year in Boston.

This will mean the ordering of another 10.000 tons of structural steel. Within a year theSt. Paul road has authorized the building of 10 000 cars and has now ordered 50 Prairie locomotives, to be built at the Baldwin and American locomotive rhops.

IS CIIAXGE BETTER. Reports According to Commission's Order Arc Not Clear. "Comparison with the previous year Is Impossible on account of the new forms prescribed by the interstate commerce commission." This phrase has occurred again and again in our reviews of the annual reports of rail roads for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908. and must almost inevitably appear in any review of annual re ports covering this period. Almost as inevitable is the phrase in the presi dent's report: "Notwithstanding rigid economies; In all possible directions, your company was forced to spend very much larger sums than usual for the preparation of statistics required by the interstate commerce commis sion and for the rearrangement of accounts to correspond to the new forms prescribd by the interstate com merce commission." Like the time honored tariff question, it is doubtful whether a radical change even for the better can, for some time at least, be o much better in itself as to offset the very real disadvantages of a change. Is It pertinent to suggest that a change based on theory rather than on prac tical utility foreshadows another change? The experience of a genera tion or two of practical and successful railroad men probably has not been wholly thrown away in the making of annual reports. Railroad Age-Ga-sette.

Jarrett, formerly general superintendent of the Kansas City Southern, and widely known by rail road men In this section, died at Shreveport. La., yesterday after a week's siege of swamp fever. He was about 50 years of age, and left a widow and two children, a son and daughter. Mr. Jarrett came to the Kansas City Southern with the receivers in 1899 from the Cotton Bolt, and took the position of general foreman of bridges and buildings, from which he was pro moted to the superintendency of the southern division, with headquarters at Texnrkana. In 1903 he was made general superintendent of the roaj. with headquarters in Kansas City, where he formed many strong friend ships. Two years inter he returned to Texarkana as superintendent, but soon saw an opportunity to enter business for himself and became head of the Jarrett Construction company, which has done much work for southwestern roadn. especially for the Kansas City This is the trade mark which is on every gen uine bottle of Scott's Emulsion sold in nearly all the countries of the world.

I am able to testify to Its great remedial excellence and do not hesitate to give it my emphatic en dorsement and earnest recommenda tion to all persons affected by that disorder. It Is also a tonic of great usefulness." Mr. T. Barnecott. West Aylmer, Ontario. Can., writes: "Last winter I was ill with pneumanla after having la grippe. I took Feruna lor two months, when I became quite well. I also induced a young lady, who was all run down and confined to the house, to take Peruna. and after tak ing Peruna for three months she is able to follow her trade of tailoring. I can recommend Peruna for all such who are ill and require a tonic." Pe-m-na Tablets. Some people prefer to take tablets, rather than to take medicine in a fluid form.

A RICH MAN'S HOBBY. II. II. Roger Has Spent Millions on tne lrginlan Hallway. Henry H. Rogers has been elected president of the Virginian railway, which is a consolidation of the Deep water and Tidewater Railway com panies, succeeding W. N. Page. This road has been Mr. Rogers' particular hobby since the organization of th Tidewater company, in March, 1904, and he has spent millions of Hniion i. construction.

The crop this year is bringing from 80 to 90 cents a bushel. The acreage for next year is about 85 per cent of the aver age acreage sown, and the present con dition of the crop is placed at 100 per cent. The recent heavy rains have brightened the prospects for a big crop next year. Besides the farmer raised about 75 per cent of a corn crop this year. There will be a material Increase In the acreage for 1909. Thos. Spena, one of the Trego county wheat raisers had cut about 100 acres of wheat which threshed out a better average than 27 bushels an acre. Another Instance: A few years ago, Oliver Munson, who had a prosperous lumber business at Frankfort, sold his interests there and came out Into the short grass county to farm. His friends thought that he had made the mistake of his life when he left a good town like Frankfort. But Mr. Munson's Gove county land adjoining this county this year nearly paid for itself in wheat. One tract of 590 acres sown to wheat made a yield of 11.500 bushels, and the sale of it at 85 cents per bushel returned to the owner the tidy sum of $9,775. For some time during the past winter and early spring, Munson had his land listed with real estate agents at $20 per acre, this price including the 590 acres that was already in wheat. What a snap such a layout would have been to a wise In vestor: $12,800 for the farm and $9,775 of a wheat crop to pay the sum asked leaving the Bmall difference of $3,025 as a difference In balance. A wheat crop that will fcrlng a farmer $10,000 any year isn t to be sneered at. Wa-Keeney, the capital city of Trego county, has been making a substantial growth in new residences, the homes of F. C. Wollner and H. J. Hille, are mod ern and cost about $8,000 each. A dozen or more other residences have been cre ated during the year. In a measure many of the houses have been built on account of the splendid advantages offered by the schools of Wa-Keeney. That there has been an era of pros perity the two banks will bear out the statement. The Wa-Keeney State bank, commenced business in 1885, and the last statement, in September, show ed $178,000 in deposits, while the Trego State bank, about two years old has $57,000 in deposits. The third bank in the county, the Collyer State bank, has $64,000 on deposit. There Is a growing necessity that Wa-Keeney ought to have a system of waterworks and elec tric lights. It is believed the country and town will easily support a flouring mill, with a capacity of 100 to 150 bar rels daily capacity. The merchants of town and the farmers as well are tin usally prosperous, more so at this time than ever before. It Is good to hear the old settlers praise up Wa-Keeney and Trego county. There is W. G. Ba ker who located In the county as early as March, 1878, coming from Illinois, and taking up a timber claim, as the country prospered and the town spread out, he started up a meat market, and for years furnished meats for neigh boring towns as well. No less than a dozen -or more have started in to di vide the trade, but Mr. Baker remains, enjoys a good trade, and is enthusias tic for Wa-Keeney and Trego county.

Charcoal has been used for absorbing foul odors and neutralizing noxious gases for centuries. Dupont, the powder manufacturer, learned that Wllow shoots two to three years of age made the best charcoal. It is most porous. Fetid breath, whether from stomach or teeth, pyrosis (or gastric pain), diar rhoea and constipation simply cannot exist under the action of charcoal. Charcoal oxidizes all gases, or In other words, changes foul smelling odors Into oxygen, thereby doing away with all foulness and rendering even such gases beneficial to the system by giving it more oxygen. The lungs puri fy the blood with oxygen from the air. Dying patients have oxygen adminis tered to their system artificially and live for days under this treatment.

W. A. WHITE AT K. U. Tells the Students That He Ftfvors Women's Suffrage. Lawrence, Oct. 31. "Principles in politics should be decided above the collar button rather than below." said W. A. White in K. V. chapel. "There is not much difference in principles of the Democratic and Republican parties because Taft says that he will follow Roosevelt and will carry out Roosevelt's policies regarding trans portation, and Bryan says he originated those policies. Vote your convictions." William Allen White also spoke to the newspaper classes. He talked on the conduct of the local campaign. "If a local editor intends to fight for his party's local candidates, he must make people sure he is fair, and the first thing to do is to say distinctly that' the man he opposes is honest. Prove anything you please but don't make personal charges. Kindness is the most forceful thing on earth.- Tell that a man broke in the door, blew open the safe and took the money, but don't say he is a thief. All of us are more or less dishonest.

SENTENCE OF MAJOR STONE. Chief Surgeon of Leavenworth Military x-rison uiven severe Sentence. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 31. Major jonn stone, chief surgeon of the mill tary prison at Fort Leavenworth, ac cording to orders received here has been sentenced to a reduction of ten files in rank, six months confinement to the limits of the post and a monthly fine of $50 for the same period, as a result of the court martial trial here October 12. The portion of the sentence relating to the reduction o ten files was held to be objectionable by the reviewing authority. Major Stone was charged with a re fusal to obey orders and conduct un becoming a gentleman and an officer. The charges were preferred against him by Major T. H. Slavena, command ant of the military prison. Major Slavens, who was tried by the same court martial on counter charges pre ferred by Major Stone, was acquitted. Late in September orders concerning the sanitation were issued by the com manding officer. Major Stone demand ed that the order be reduced to writ ing, declaring It extraordinary and illegal! At a conference following this demand the trouble between the offi cers occurred. Major Stone charged that he was assaulted and insulted by his commanding officer.

The latest pest farmers are having to deal with is the irresponsible person who goes hunting in an automobile. It is not the use of the automobile to which farmers object, but the way it is used. The principal kick comes from a few miles west of Wichita in the neighbor hood of Colwich and Maize. Some of the farmers were telling friends In Wichita yesterday of their troubles. It seems that the hunters go out in the country in automobiles and then proceed to shoot game wherever they can find it, regardless of whose prop erty they are trespassing upon. But when they see an irate agriculturist approaching they hasten to their auto mobile and speed away at a rate which prevents successful pursuit. If the plans of the farmers mater ialize, however, this evil will soon be ended. Nearly all of them have tele phones and they are arranging to re port all depredations of the auto hunt ers and when the sportsman thinks he Is free-from danger he is liable to meet one of his enemy's neighbors. armed with a shotgun and disposition calculated to influence him to slow up and take heed of the law. In fact, the farmers are determined to be ridden away from no longer even If they have to resort to stretching ropes across the road when the hunter flees. DIDN'T DESERT CHILDREN. A Wichita Father Denies Charges of Kansas City-Folice. Wichita. Kan.. Oct. 31. Henry Coff- man was arrested by Sheriff Porter of Wyandotte county, and Captain Gun saullus on the charge of neglecting his children, Henry and Ernest, aged 3 and 11 years respectively. The boys were found on the streets of Kansas City, Kan., last Monday cold and near ly starved. Coffman said that he had not deserted his children and that the first knowledge he had they were in Kansas City was when he read the dispatch from that place. "After I read that I immediately wrote to the police matron in Kansas City and told her I would be there within a few days to take charge of the children." said Coffman. "I have been here all the time working in the Cudahy packing plant as a butcher. Coffman blames his daughter of Kansas City for the desertion of the children. "She was caring ror them," he said. "My mother has been taking care of the youngest while Alice had Harry, the oldest. About two weeks ago Alice took the youngest boy from my mother. My wife went to Kansas City last July to get Ernie, but my father and mother wanted mm to stay with them." Sheriff Porter left this morning with Coffman for Kansas City. TO TEST STATE LABOR LAW.

(Continued from Page One. ceeded In doing: the same with Penn sylvania last week, today's contest is in a measure the settlement of the "rubber." Both participants In to day's battle are claiming a victory, but at the same time l(th are not un derestimating their opponents. The dry clear day and dry field is much to the Indians liking as the red man is at his best when he can go in for speedy and open play. This is a de partment of the game the sailor lads are also partial to and the contest should be a literal battle royal. Interest la the game which will be called at 2:30 o'clock Is also great in Baltimore, Washington and other nearby cities and the chances are there will be as large, if not greater crowd about the navy field than wit nessed the contest with Harvard last Saturday.

Iowa Collegians Hope Washburn. to Humble The Drake university football quad, twenty in number arrived In Topeka late last night over the Santa Fe. There was a strong bunch of rooters who accompanied the team, many of them being co-eds. And talk about your big men, the Drake squad has got them. The entire line would make the Washburn team look like Lilliputians. One guard weighs In the neighborhood of 225 pounds, while even the ends, the lightest line men, average 180 pounds. They are stop ping at the Throop hotel. The indications point to the biggest crowa oi tne season at tne game wnicn is in progress this afternoon Mr. Jennings, the weather man, who sometimes doesn't treat the Wash burn authorities very nicely In the matter of climate, has given Topeka as gooa a orana or weather as could be desired. It is a trifle chilly for the spectators, but it is Just cool enough to put life and spirit into the team work of the two teams. Just chilly enough to make every player work hard. And that is what makes foot ball pleasing to the spectators. And the two teams will have to battle hard in this engagement. It is a big game for both teams, with the Washburn team. It is the hardest game of the season.

Coach J. H. Griffith of the Drake team said this morning: "We will re serve none of our strength.

We are in the pink of condition and hope to win. Yes, we are quite confident of suc cess." SnUlcy, the Fast Left Halfback of Washburn. Coach Weede of the Washburn team is not so confident over his team's success. "We have been work ing hard and we will put our best In to the game. We have several new plays, that ought to outwit the visit ing players, but whether we can do anything against their strong defense remaina yet to be seen." There is a good deal' of similarity between the two institutions repre sented this afternoon. Both are Con gregational schools which are about or step out of the sectarian class. The Tale blue and white are the colors of the two schools. During the week the game was threatened by the disagreement over officials. The first list submitted by Washburn wasn't entirely satisfactory to Drake, and the Hawkeyes refused to come unless some charges were made. After considerable correspon dence, the following officials were agreed upon by both sides: Masker, Kansas City, referee: Hollingsworth. Indiana, umpire: Griggs of Topeka, headllnesman, and Barrett, a former Swarthmore player, of Atchison, field Judxe. This looks like an impartial set of officials. After the game tonight, both teams will bo the guests of Manager Israel at a box party at the Novelty theater. several players from Kansas uni versity are here for the game this af ternoon and hope to get some insight into the Washburn style of play. And they probably will as Washburn will have to use every Play. Those who are here are: Assistant Coach Donald, Captain Crowell, Tom Johnson, quar terback. Rice, Pleasant, Calijwell.

HIS HEAVIEST GUNS. Are Being Fired by Bryan In Indiana Today. Anderson, Ind., Oct. 31. Declaring that he ought to have the votes of those who have been victimized by the trusts, for a Republican victory -will bring no relief to the people, W. J. Brvan is today traveling through Indiana appealing for the support of the national and state Democratic tickets. He is continuing to fire his heaviest batteries at Rockefeller, Carnegie, Harriman, President Roose velt and Mr. Taft because of the an nouncement that Rockefeller, Car negie and Harriman have come out openly for Taft. He is reminding the people of the "tragedy of the Home stead strike" in connection with his discussion of Mr. Carnegie's assertion that a Democratic victory would be a national tragedy. Concerning Mr. Rockefeller he is saying that "his conscience has been so seared by his business methods that he looks upon a trust as a blessing, and wonders how anybody else can consider it an evil. Harriman he is saying is the man whom President Roosevelt denounced and as to Mr. Taft, the Democratic candidate is charging him with "lead ing an army that has in it every financial pirate, every trust magnate." Against that army Mr. Bryan is telling it everywhere that he has not behind him a single man who has his hands in an other man's pockets. President Roosevelt, he is charging, is practical enough to know that the open support ot KocKeteiier unmasKS tne ite publlcan position and that the president doubtless wanted the fact of Rockefeller's support kept secret until after the elec tion. Over 20 speeches are scheduled for todav. Up to the time of his arrival here Mr. Bryan spoke at TTnlon City, Rich mond.

The follow ing official statement has beenlssued from, the White House in connection with the declaration of John D. Rock efeller for Taft for president: "At the White House, the an nouncement of Mr. Rockefeller through the press agent of the Stan. dard OH company was regarded with some amusement in view of what the administration has done to the Stan dard Oil company and of the bitter hatred borne by the Standard Oil company to the administration. It Is a perfectly palpable and obvious trick on. the part of the Standard Oil peo ple to try to damage Taft. a trick so palpable that it can deceive no one." Mack's Comment. New. York, Oct. 81. Democratic National Chairman Mack, after read ing the statement at the White House, where it was said some amusement was caused by the announcement of Mr. Rockefeller, In view of what the administration had done to the stan dard Oil company, said: "The White House statement is Its own answer. The bargain was .-made between Taft's managers and Rocke feller and concerns the possible future administration of Mr. Taft and not what the present administration has or has not done to tne standard oil company." Replying to another printed article, in which it was charged that Mr. Rockefeller had been persuaded to indorse Taft at the instance of the Democratic national committee, Mr, Mark said: "The statement Is ridiculous ana absurd on the face of it and has al ready been sufficiently answered py me." No Money From OIL New York. Oct. 31. After reading the statement of Norman E.

Accor ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family fixatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances.

In the article, "May Drop Out" which ap peared In your edition of Wednesday, October 28th, certain statements were made concerning the Irregular meth ods by which one, McVey was de clared Ineligible to play on the Wash burn team, together with other state ments relative to the standard of re quired credits for athletes, using of professionals, freshmen, etc., which I wish to brand as maliciously untrue. If the person who wrote the article would but acquaint himself with the rules and bylaws of the Kansas col lege athletic conference and be close enough to Professor H. I. Woods that he might know how different con ference arguments are disposed of officially, he would readily see that the methods used whereny McVey was declared ineligible were strictly speak ing, according to both the letter and the spirit of the rules. As to the history of the case, It might be well to know that the schools Interested, Cooper college of Sterling, Kan., and Washburn college of Topeka, together with St. Marys college are all members of the Kan sas college athletic conference. Mc Vey, before going to Washburn, was a student at Cooper college and'during the football seasons of 1906 and 1907 represented Cooper college as a player on the football teams of these two years he might have been playing previous to that time, this I do not know, but I do know that he played during the seasons of 1906 and 1907, as Cooper college played both those years against St. Mary's college. The grounds for the protest of Mc Vey are not understood generally, neither are they set forth In the article referred to. McVey's eligibility to play on Washburn's football team during the present season against col leges of the Topeka conference, was protested because his playing was In direct violation of a part of Article I of the Kansas conference rules which reads: "No student, who has par ticipated In any intercollegiate game as a member of the college team shall be permitted to play on the team of any other college during the succeed ing season devoted to that sport, un less he has obtained a college academic degree or has completed the course In the preparatory department of a college." It Is contended that McVey, having last year represented Cooper college was not this year eligible to represent Washburn college. In former years, one of the most crying needs for reform In college athletics, was the practice of one school proselyting the athletes of an other school and this law was made to fill that need. The article In the State Journal condemning the "underhanded" meth ods used In making this protest active states among other things that "ac cording to the rules of the Topeka conference there is an executive com mittee composed of four men who are elected annually. These four men pass on every question of eligibility and if they are unable to arrive at any decision, then and only then air arbiter is selected who Is not con nected with any school In the con ference." This statement Is incorrect in Its en tirety. In the first place the executive committee, which consists of five men instead of four, has not the power to decide on the eligibility of any one, but among other powers which are invested in it according to section five of the by laws of the Kansas .Colleee Athletic j Conference it "appoints an arbiter, not a resident of the state of Kansas, to whom all cases of dispute shall be re i ferred and whose decision shall be j final." The arbiter of the conference la a permanent official, not one appointed tor each specific case, and the position has been held for some time by Clark R Hetherlngton of Missouri university, Columbia, Mo. His decision in the Mehl case, met with the disapproval of some of the members of the conference on account of which, he very reluctantly re-accepted the arbitershlp of the Topeka con ference. On June 14th, 1906. in a lette to H. Z. Wilber, Emporia, Kansas, who was at that time secretary of the con ference, he did accept the arbitershlp having, however. In a correspondence with Wilber dated Aine 6th, 1906. Jus; nine days previous to his acceptance, refused to act as arbiter unless he wai unanimously chosen by the executive committee. That he did accept shows that he was the unanimous choice of the committee. There Is also on-nle in the secretary office In Emporia dated Topeka, Kansas, April 16. 1906, and signed by Professor H. I. Woods, stat ing that "Clark B. Hetherington would be acceptable to Washburn as arbiter for the conference." Washburn claims that the proceed ings by which McVey was barred from playing In the St. Marys game to have been irregular, also that they had not and have not been advised of the pro test on McVey, neither had they any opportunity for stating their side of ne case, mis is also untrue in every particular because I took up the ques tion as provided for In the by-laws and filed my protest against McVey Oct, tlth. 1908, ten days previous to the Washburn-St. Marys game, with P. B. h. Sampson, secretary of the confer ence, who in turn communicated the protest to Professor Woods, faculty representative of Washburn. Prof. Woods made his answer stating Wash burn's side of the case to Sampson, who then forwarded protest an an swer to Hetherington. Hetherington' decision wired the morning of the Washburn-St. Marys game to Woods of Topeka, Sampson at Emporia and myself at St. Marys was "McVey case under rule 1 Ineligible." Since that time Hetherington has for warded to each of the schools Interest ed a copy of his decision together with nn explanation of same, dated Oct, 22nd. 1908. Washburn's contention was that Mc Vey was eligible under rul 4 whih states, "No student shall participate in a particular sport upon the teams ol any college or colleges for more than four years In the inrmt. n any member of the college who playa during any part of a game does there by participate in the sport for that year. The first three games of Inter collegiate football, baseball and basket ball in each season shall not count as participation." The first three Inter collegiate 'games are supposed to be practice games. I contended and was upheld by the arbiter that Cooper's schedule consisting of three games, they could not be held as practice games and anv man who played in these three games, as Washburn ad mits McVey did, certainly represented his college in that sport that year. My contention was and is that rule 4 deals solely with the number of years which a man may play on any college team and had nothing-to do with rule 1. Washburn maintained that McVey participated in but three games on the Cooper team and under rule 4 that did not count against him snd it could not be construed as to his representing Cooper college. The ar biter In, his decision maintained that as Cooper played but three games, in all of which. .McVev. participated, it was their entire schedule and they could not be called practice games. In regard to Mr. Lansdon's Inter view upholding Washburn this Is very contrary to the conversation Lansdon had with me when I showed him, aa president of the conference, a copy of the telegrams the day of the Washburn-St. Mary's game. At that time he remarked that if McVey was not eligible to represent Washburn he was glad that he was declared in eligible. There will be no meeting of the conference Friday night for the pur pose of selecting an arbiter and rein stating McVey, nor has such a meeting been contemplated. Our conference would have no jurisdiction in the mat ter of McVey's participating In the Drake game as Washburn may, and in all probability will, play, McVey and any freshman they may choose in both the Drake and the Oklahoma games, these schools being outside of the .con ference. At this time I might take It upon myself to uphold the officials -of the game who were unjustly criticised by Washburn's adherents. It might be well to know that practically the only times that Washburn made her downs were on the two forward passes in questoin. all other attempts at forward passing were broken up by the St, Mary's defense, and Washburn, over zealous to make some gain got off two passes directly over the line of scrim mage which were correctly called Il legal by Referee Shlras and the pro scribed penalty attached. This same Shlras apparently gave satisfaction last year when Washburn defeated St. Mary's 22 to 6 and, too, was the man selected by both Oklahoma and Wash burn to referee last Thanksgiving day's game. This does not bear out their present contention that he does not know the frame which assertion was also made against Lieutenant Glassford when Washburn lost to Fairmount. In regard to the standard of scholar ship of the smaller schools I will Bay for St. Mary's that I do not believe there is any school in the state requir ing of her athletes a higher standard of scholarship. During my seven years as athletic director at St. Mary's, there have been several occasions on which men have been warned that their work was falling behind and this condition must be remedied at once or they would forfeit their Dositlon on the team.

Kan.. Oct. 29th. 1908. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that the following named players, who participated in the Washburn vs. St. Mary's college foot ball game on Wednesday, Oct. 21st, 1908, are bona fide students and eligible to play football on the St. Mary's col lege team according to the rules of the Topeka conference: Thomas Maglnnls, Paul KIstner, Basil Fox, Raymond Dockery, Arthur Beakey, Harold Bennett. George Scan Ian. Harold Costello, Francis Greer, James Meehan, Louis Stoll, William Hayes, Emmet Sheahan. I wish to remark that of these four teen players, who participated in the Washburn-St. Mary's game, not one ia a freshman. St. Mary's college has not used a single freshman In any of its games this year and does not inted to. It Is the purpose of the college to live up to the rules of the conference not only in the letter but also In spirit. St. Mary's Is not obliged to exclude freshmen, but will use them as little as possible. It was asserted that Arthur Beakey has been in attendance at St. Mary's college only one month. This la net true. Arthur Beakey has been a student of St. Mary's college for sev eral years, though he did not go to the school last year. H. A. HERMANS, Faculty Supervisor of Athletics. ThP nnnroximate cause for this un called-for turmoil is the fact that Washburn was. defeated by St. Marys. Washburn's admirers can't expect every year that their team will divide the Missouri valley championship with either Nebraska. Iowa, Missouri or Kansas. My candid opinion is that tn St. Marys team pointed for the Wash burn game was 100 per cent stronger than any team that has represented St. Marys in the past seven years. I would like to have it understood that I was not prompted in this matter hv anv feeling; airalnst McVey or Washburn but simply thought that the schools that were in the conference should be made to live up to tne con ference rules and this would only be brought about by protesting any man whose eligibility was suspicious. I have had and have the best reeling to ward Washburn and I merely step into this controversy because l leei mat i have been misrepresented In the mat ter. Mv advice to the other schools of the Topeka conference Is: If you don't want to De ciassea wun ine ainnj schools" like Fairmount and St. Marys, for goodness sake, don't defeat Wash burn. Signed E.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOIJBNAL-5ATTTRDAY JBVENING; OCTOBER. 31,; 1908.: OPENS JTJODAY. 'cranner Street Yiadnct Is Formally Dedicated. Cost of Structure Fifty Thous and Dollars. MAKES SEW ROUTE. Street Railway Will Enter Oak land by This Way. Will Be Ready for Teams and Tehicles Next Week. The Topeka Street Railway com pany today opened their new viaduct over Branner street, running the first car over the big bridge at 10:30 this morning. A score of prominent busi ness men and a number of city offi cials made the initial trip in this car as the guests cf the street car com pany and expressions of admiration were heard on every hand as the car ran up the incline from Lake street and came to a standstill just, beyond the curve on Branner street. The passengers-alighted from the tar and tpent several minutes inspecting the viaduct. It is a notable piece of engineering work is this new viaduct and distinct ly an Improvement and benefit for the cltv ot lopeka. Tne viaduct begins ut "Luke street Just south of the fence that cuts olf the Santa Fe yards and proceeds west to Branner stret'i where it turns due north and crosses Bran ner street over the. Santa Fe tracks. t.ndir.3 at a point on.v a few feet south of Seward avenue. It Is 'it feet high in the clear and is 1.400 feet long. The contract price for this bridge is $47,000, but extras will' run the total cost to a round $50,000. The grade at the inclines at either end is only 3 V4 per cent, which is. less than thatat the Sixth street viaduct and only one-third that of the Allen street via duct in Kansas City. Work on this structure was begun last June and will be finished next week when the three Inch tlooring is all put in place. The Klodgett Construction company of Kansas City are the contractors. In passing it should be stated here that the Santa Fe railway will pay for half the cost of this improvement. If you want to get a clear idea of tnw magnitude of the Santa Fe"s work here In Topeka take an Oakland car and alight on the viaduct Just beyond the turn into Branner street. From this point a fine view is obtained of the Santa F yards and nine of the com pany's big shops, extending east andl west on both sides of the viaduct. If you want to show a visiting friend To peka's resources at a glance take him to the Branner street viaduct. The view Is not much from a scenic stand point but it is unsurpassed from the view of a bucket brigade.- Instead of green hills and pleasant valleys there re piles of brick and the smoke from a score of flaming forges. The shops lock pretty big from the new viaduct. Few. if any. cities In the west can make such a showing of wealth invest ed and men employed from one view point. Hereafter In making the trip to Oakland catch a car at Seventh street, proceed east on Seventh to Quincy, thence north on Quincy to Sixth, thence west on Sixth to; via the Sixth street viaduct to Lake street, thence nnrth on Lake to the approach to the Branner street viaduct, west to Bran firr. north to Seward avenue nad then along the old car line to Oakland. The return is made along the same route except that the car enters Kansas ave nue at Sixth street and makes the loop by way of Seventh and Quincy hack to Sixth on the return trip. The old line to Oakland altmg the river and under the Santa Fe bridge was abandoned today. During high water this line was always out of commission. This viaduct is a great improvement for the city in many ways and one to he proud of. The only objection that has ever been raised in connection with !t Is the fact that the provision for foot passengers is arranged by means of stairways up and down the viaduct at either end on Branner rtreet instead of Inclines. The con tention is that old people and children and ladles with baby buggies cannot use the viaduct at all. The following composed the party that enjoyed the cigars and hos pitality of Messrs. Patten, Kelly and Flowers of the street car company this morning: Mayor Vm. Green, M. A. Low, A. B. Poole. Thos. Page, W. H. Davis, Mayor Brigham of Oakland and his Cures Woman's Weaknesses.

Democrat Campaign Managers Put Forth Their Claims. Chicago. Oct. 31. At both Democrat ic and Republican headquarters In this city today statements summing up their respective views on the coming election were Issued. John E. Lamb, in charge of the Democratic headquar ters here in the absence .of Chairman Mack, made public an estimate in which he claimed 293 electoral votes safe for Bryan: placed 110 votes In the doubt ful column and admitted that 78 votes of six states which he named were safe ly Republican. Mr. Lamb's view of the safely Democratic states would give the election to Bryan by 295 electoral votes against "188 for Mr. 'Taft. William Hayward, secretary of the Republican national committee, in a signed statement, admitted the exist ence of only four doubtful states in what he designated as the western di vision. "In my Judgment," says Mr. Hay ward's statement. "there are but four doubtful states In the western division, Nevada, Colorado. Montana and Mis souri. By this I do not mean that we have no chance in Oklahoma, but not as good a chance as In the four states Just named. Of these, Colorado and Montana are reasonably safe for Mr. Taft. The prairie states west of the Missouri river, as well as Wyoming, Utah and Idaho of the mountain states, and all of the Pacific coast states are and have been Republican since the be ginning of the campaign. There has never been any real doubt In the mind of any one about Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan. Minnesota or Iowa. Mr. Bryan will certainly lose his own state. Personally have never had any doubt of Indiana and have not now." Mr. Hayward's statement in closing, claims New York, Ohio, and West Vir ginia and says that the doubt expressed concerning Maryland and Kentucky is all in favor of a Republican victory. Victor Rosewater, at the head of the Republican publicity bureau, made a statement In which he said: 'I am confident of Mr. Taffs elec tion. Mr. Bryan can not name a state that is reasonably certain for him and that he did. not carry in one of his former campaigns. On the contrary several states that went for Bryan in 1896 or 1900 are certain to go for Mr. Taft this year." In Mr. Lamb s statement the follow ing states alone are admitted to be safely Republican: Maine. Massachusetts, MJcnigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Ver mont. The following he places In the doubt ful column: California. Connecticut, Delaware Idaho, Illinois. Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. COVERED 35 STATES. Prohibition Candidate for President J leaches Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 31. After campaign ing in 35 states. Eugene W. Chafin, Prohibition candidate for president, arrived in Chicago today and an hour later left to address meetings in Illi nois, at Jollet, Plainfield and Naper ville. National Prohibition leaders have prepared a bi demonstration on his return tonight. Prohibition leaders here today were Jubilant over an official report Just received on the results of a referen dum vote in Iceland on September 10 last. Out of 24 election districts, it Is said 21 declared for national prohibi tion by a vote of more than 2 to 1. When the full returns have been filed the national parliament of Iceland will set the day after which all liquor traf fic in the country must cease. AUTO IN THE AIR Ballooiiisls Take a Car Xp 'With Them -to Their Flight. Indianapolis, Oct. 31. Something new in aeronautics was Attempted here, to day when a monster balloon with a ca pacity of 110,000 cubic feet of gas, shot up into 'the' air with an automobile In the place where a basket Is usually suspended. The ascension was made at 4 p. m., the balloon carrying two occu pants, Carl G. Fisher of Indianapolis and C. L. Bumbaugh of Springfield, III. The idea of the aeronauts is to be able at will to roll up the balloon, load It in the automobile and return to the starting place or other destination. The balloon descended near South port, Indiana, a distance of seven mfies from Indianapolis at 6:10 after being in the air two hours and ten minutes. The automobile was freed from thi balloon and Bumbaugh and Fisher came to Indianapolis in It. Morse Evidence AH In. New York. Oct. 31. Both prosecu tion and defense In the trial of C. W. Morse and A.

Waverly, N. Y.. Oct. 31. W. H. Taft'a tribute to Pennsylvania was paid in his speech at this place when he said: "It is a great pleasure to meet you this morning In such a good humor. It makes me feel in good humor, because I am sure your feelings come, as mine do, from a certainty of success next Tuesday. You are going to send John Dwight to congress and then he is go ing to send me a barrel of apples." Some one in the audience reminded Mr. Taft that he was on the state line between Pennsylvania and New York and that their congressman who would be sent back was Mr. Pratt. "In Pennsylvania there is no use talking about the election," he replied. "The trouble about Pennsylvania Is that she Is so good that we really do not give her the credit she is entitled to, because we are always so certain of her. This is the first time I have spoken on Pennsylvania soil and I want to pay testimony to the gratitude that every Republican in the country owes to the Republicans of Pennsylvania, because they go ahead voting the Re publican ticket without any hope of REWARD Have you ever known of a thoroughly verified, authentic case where hair was regrown or made to sprout on a bald head? If you have information of such a remedy, or formular, or hair grower, there's a few bald-headed millionaires who will cheerfully allow you to sepa rate them from great big wads of money. You can get. from. us enough to buy several automobiles, with a chaf feur, a yacht and a farm or two thrown, in. There's enough bald heads sitting nightly in the front rows of the big theaters to make us fabulously rich if we could become possessed of some thing that would put hair on a bald head in which the roots are dead. About as far as we have gone in an Investigation of years is to find some thing that will keep the hair you al ready have, and that will restore, as well, the color to your hair If it has become gray. If we cannot do this the drugist who sells you our discovery will return you the money up to the sixth bottle.

We cannot,- .do not cure everybody, as in some cases our direc tions for treatment are not closely ad hered to, but if we cannot cure you your druggist will refund the money. This Is a form of guarantee what is it worth? Look us up in any Commer cial Directory or inquire of any bank, or ask any druggist. We guarantee to restore the color to vour hair we guar antee to keep on your head the hair you now have we guarantee to give you a fine, lovely, luxuriant, silken, glossy head of hair. -Just ask Marshall Bros., 501 Kansas avenue for Dr. Nott's Cuban Hair Restore COUNTY ULSH reward, except that kind of reward that comes from virtuous practices only. "The country in New York is just about as Republican as Pennsylvania Is. only when you get down into New York 'city, the leaven of unrighteous ness is introduced in the shape of Democracy. My friends, we are going on, I am sincerely hopeful, to return of prosperity with which we were blessed for ten years. All we need to do Is to clinch the progress we have made by a Republican victory In No vember. We would not do so if we were to put Mr. Bryan into power. Mr. Bryan is a great orator, a leader of men. He is not a man of popular judgment, however, and you can not afford to put him in the White House." Sends a Message Home. Cincinnati, O.. Oct. 31. That the thoughts of Judge Taft practically on the eve of election turned toward Cin cinnati, his home is shown in the fol lowing message sent from Klmlra, N. Y., to his friends here through the Times-Star: "The issues of the campaign are now understood by the American peo ple and the lines are drawn. 1 nave no fear, no doubt as to the outcome. I believe victory to be assured. i hope that supporters of Republican doctrines and policies win gei out a full and early, vote and that my Cin cinnati friends and neignoors wnose encouragement has been a source of pride and inspiration will personally contribute toward this end." ATWOOD IS HAPPY. Says There's a Bryan Landslide Coming. J. H. Atwood, of Leavenworth, Dem ocratic national committeeman from Kansas, was in Topeka for a few hours today between trains. "Well, how do things look, political ly?" suggested a reporter. "Couldn't be finer," replied Mr. At woodr "It's a landslide for Bryan sure this time. Conditions were never more favorable than at present and if Mr. Bryan does not carry the United States by a large majority of the electoral college there will be a badly fooled bunch of Democrats, not only in Kan sas but in the United States. "I have asked ten thousand men this qnesion: Do you know of one or more Republicans who will vote for Mr. Bryan w-ho never voted for him before, or who voted for Mr. Roosevelt four years ago? In answer to this question I have received ten thousand replies of yes. This can mean but one thing and that is the election of William Jennings Bryan in November as sure as election day comes around. "Kansas is not an exception to the rule for a majority of the questions have been asked in this state and in my opinion Kansas is safely in the Bryan column and Botktn, Farrelly ho. entire state ticket will be as strong as the Peerless leader on ac count of the peculiar conditions which o-riat in the state. Bryan is a winner. so is Botkin and the entire state ticket. Watch this prediction for I am sure that I will have an opportunity to say I told you so." Political Meeting and Rally.

Ulsh, the Democratic nominee for County Clerk, who is asking the support of the voters at the polls on the third day of November, is well known in Topeka and Shawnee county, having resided in the city since 1892. For the past twelve years he has been in the laundry business in Topeka, and.during this time has earned a reputation for square dealing that has made him ex ceedingly popular with his patrons. T Mr. Ulsh is in favor of Shawnee county receiving all of the fees as pre scribed by law, and does not believe that the County Clerk should be per mitted to have a "rake-off," as has been the custom in Shawnee county for a great many years. The duties in volved by the prohibitory law bring be tween 20 and 25 hundred dollars into the County Clerk's office, and Mr. Ulsh takes the stand that these fees belong to the tax-payers and not to the man they have elected as County Clerk. r "If I am elected County Clerk," says Mr. Ulsh, "I will turn all fees collected into the county treasury and be content TWO BIG CROWDS. Come Out to Hear Bryan at Richmond, Indiana. Richmond, Ind., Oct. 31. Two great crowds heard W. J. Brayn here today. The candidate's arrival was signalized by tumultuous cheering. Both Andrew Carnegie and K. H. Harriman came in for a severe- castigation at his hands. He said: "Mr. Carnegie says that my election would be a' tragedy. Mr. Carnegie is from Scotland and a great lover of the great Scotch poet Burns, and Burns saysi that a man will talk of what runs In his head. It is not strange that Mr. Carnegie talks of a tragedy, as there is a tragedy in his life that he will never forget, the tragedy of the Homestead strike, and he has used the word with which he is very familiar. But he must not think that because my elec tion might prove a -tragedy to those who have their hands in other people's pockets that It would therefore be a tragedy to those who have other per son's hands In their pockets. "And who else has come out In sup port of the Republican ticket? Mr. Harriman, the very man that the president denounced after he had writ ten to him that they were both prac tical men and that he need not come to the White House till after the elec tion if he thought there would be criticism if he came before. Mr. Taft today is leading an army that has in it every financial pirate, every trust magnate and I have not one single man. who has his hands in another man's pocket, and I appeal to the peo ple who have been victims of these men.' What Republican farmer can longer doubt on which side-to cast his Influence? What Republican laborer can longer doubt which way to vote? What Republican business man can longer doubt where his safety and his interests lie? "Now they are talkiner panic. They are going to have a prosperity parade in New York tonight. Thev say there will be 100.000 people In It and they have a grand stand built along Broad way. And they are going to have red fire and' bands, as they march where I saw. this very week, more than 300 men sleeping on the benches in the middle of the night with newspapers wrapped around them to keep them warm. Talk of prosperity and yet the people are without enough money to pav for a place to sleep. Talk of prosperity and more business failures the first nine months of this year than in the first nine months of 1893, or 1S94 or 1895, the first year after the Wilson bill was passed, or 1896. Talk of prosperity. And the people buying 10 per cent less groceries than a year ago. Talk of prosperity, and the din ner" pall has vanished and the bottom has dronned out."

These books can be made for 10 cents each, or less, and I believe that the difference should be turned into the county treas ury, and not into the pocket of the County Clerk." Mr. Ulsh has been a resident of To peka for the 'past eighteen years, dur ing which time he has been well and fa vorably known as a gentleman, citizen, business man and friend. His political opponents can bring nothing against him personally, nor against his capacity to fill the office which he seeks. His train ing as a successful business man makes him especially qualified to fill the posi tion of County Clerk. He is an affable, congenial, hard .working man, who will treat all alike .whether he be a man de pending upon his daily labor for his livelihood or one in more affluent cir- -cumstances. A vote for Mr. Ulsh is truly a vote for a square deal to every one. LOCAL MENTION. Captain McCoy of the Drake univer sity football team, spent this morning In the state law library at the state house. McCoy Is a graduate of the Drake law school, and is now taking a postgraduate course in law and foot ball. B. L. Broun was caughf last night walking on both sides of Kansas ave nue at the same time. He was not only plainly drunk but made himself too well acquainted with every lady that passed him. He was in that stage where he knew everyone on the street and wanted to shake hands with them all. In covering both sides of the street at the same time, Broun grew disorderly and was promptly jerked. Five days on' the rock pile is sufficient for atonement.

A poll of the sixth precinct of the Second ward, taken from a street car and based on the personality of the pictures displayed In the windows of the houses along the car track shows twenty-one for Bryan and ten for Taft. A poll of the pictures in the houses of Oakland as seen from the car windows shows thirteen for Taft and twelve for Bryan. The people in the northeast part of the city have strong convictions and take this means of showing their interest in the coming election and their preference for one or the other of the two leading candidates.

The Passing of Shamrock. The police were called upon today to perform one of the most dastardly deeds of the year. The patrolmen had to draw lots to see who would do the killing as the deed was looked upon as murder In the first degree. George H.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURffAL SATURDAY EVOKING, OCTOBER 31, 1908. GASIIEOJIS NECK N. G. Robert sen Tries In Tain to Kill Himself. TO) T1sTI imtmU Alike Uses Manicure Knife to Cut Ilia Throat. JOHN J A FIGHT FOIt LIFE. E TTT) aod Be Wife Sfrugjles Vainly With Frantic Man. Though Suffering From 25 Cuts May RecoTer. N. O. Robertson, a prominent nurse ryman of Altus, Ok., made a determin ed attempt to end his life at his room In the Fifth Avenue hotel a few minutes before 6 o'clock this morning and only the nerve and determination of his wife kept him from accomplishing his pur pose, if he survive his fearful Injuries Which consist of 25 wounds. The guests of the hotel were awakened about 6:45 this morning by the screams of a wo man on the second floor. Three or four guests on the same floor rushed to the room occupied by the Robertsons and found Mrs. Robert son covered with blood and struggling for the possession of a small knife with which Mr. Robertson was slashing at his throat. For some unexplained rea son they left the couple without at tempting to render aid to the woman who was struggling with her insane husband to keep him from killing him self. The screams of Mrs. Robertson were heard by the clerk on duty at the hotel, who rushed to her room and grappled with Mr. Robertson who was struggling with his wife for the possession of a small pair of scissors. At almost the game moment R. T. Fasley. a traveling man who had a room on the floor above came to the assistance of the hotel clerk and Mrs. Robertson and the frenzied man was overpowered. The room in which the struggle oc curred resembled the killing room of a slaughter house and the victim as well as his wife and his rescuers, was covered with blood. As soon as he was overpowered Mr. Robertson begged plteously of his rescuers to be permit ted to kill himself. "Just let me loose for a minute and let me finish the Job. I want to die and I don't want to botch the Job in this manner. It's all for the best and you will do me a great favor if you will do as I ask. It makes no difference to you." Penwell's ambulance was called and a record run made to Dr. Keith's hos pital with the injured man. He was placed on the operating table where It was found that he was suffering from 24 wounds on his neck and a stab wound In his left side near the heart. The wounds were Inflicted by a sn:ill knife taken from a manicure set and a rmall pair of scissors from the same outfit. Mrs. Robertson was awakened early In the morning by her husband leav ing the bed and when she spoke to him he returned and made some p'ausible excuse for his actions. She then drop ped off to sleep again and was arourod when he began slashing at his throat with the manicure knife. She grap pled with him and screamed and final ly succeeded In getting the knife away from him. Three or four men came to the door of the room which she had opened hut did not offer assistance and Mr. Rob ertson then secured a small pair of scissors from the manlcurj set and again began Jabbing at his throat and Inflicted a number of Jagged wounds. In desperation he then attempted to stab himself in the heart though the wound made was not a dangerous one. The most severe wounds are on the left side of his throat and the Jugular vein was missed by a narrow margin and several large veins were severed which would have cost the victim his life if he had not received Immediate medical attention. As it is there Is a chance that he will recover. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson and J. H. Steers who Is employed by them have been at the hotel for several weeks while the trio were selecting a nursery tock, two carloads of which has al ready been shipped to Oklahoma. They have been coming to Topeka for a num ber of years on the same mission and are well known about the Fifth Avenue hotel which is their home while In To peka. Mrs. Robertson Is as composed as Jt is possible for a woman to be under tho present conditions and tells a connected story of the attempted sui cide of her husband. "I was awaken ed by a n,oise made by Mr. Robertson and grabbed him at once," said Mrs. Robertson. "He is a large man and I prreamed for help but before the clerk and a stranger from the top floor reached the room he had cut himself severely with my manicure knife and scissors. "He has complained for the past week or so of not being able to sleep at night and has been up and about the room more or less of the time during the night. He wan worrying somo about business matters and must have lost his mind for a few minutes when he attempted to kill himself this morning. "I am sure that this act wan not premeditated, for he never talked of such a thing, and there was a razor In my suit case and he knew that it was there. He was not drinking and has not touched a drop of liquor and this could not have been the cause for tho act. He must have been tem porarily Insane on account of loss of Bleep and nervousness occasioned bv worry over business matters." Mr. Robertson is a man about 45 years of age and considerably above medium weight. That he la a large man probably accountn for the fact that the wounds which ho inflicted did not prove Immediately fatal as the fatty tissue on his neck protected the vital organs.

T. The Democratic Nominee and Present Incumbent of the Office of County Attorney is strongly endorsed by County Commissioners and Lawyers. He asks your support on Nov. 3rd on his record in office during past two years. A Strong Letter from the Hon. Judge John Martin Topeka, Kansas, Oct., 29th, 1908. To the Voters of the County of Shawnee: I would be glad if it were in my power to make a personal; appeal to every legal voter in the County of Shawnee in behalf of John J. Schenck, Esq., your present County Attorney of Shawnee, and a can-' didate for re-election; but as this is impossible, I take pleasure in ap- pealing to you through the public press in behalf of Mr. Schenck and commending him to your friendly consideration. I feel more than a mere, ordinary interest in the candidacy of Mr. Schenck, because I have known him personally from his early boy hood and well remember him as a boy when he first came to this County. In addition to this, when he grew to manhood he studied law in my office and largely under my direction. He was a young man of splendid character, full of manly ambitions and honorable aspirations to make a success of his professional life. He was a good student, quick and bright. He manifested every qualification re- quired to make a good lawyer honesty, integrity and a pure and; upright private life. It is true that he was poor, but he was econom-. ical, careful and prudent, and had made up his mind to master ad versity and to make for himself a name and a fame of which his friends should be proud. His ambition was based upon high moral principles. His habits were honorable and upright. In fact he pos sessed the very best qualities of the best type of American lawyers. All of which he has demonstrated to the satisfaction of his country men generally in his first term of office. When he was a candidate he promised the people of Shawnee county that he would faithfully and honestly discharge the duties of his office impartially, faithfully and rigidly and without fear or favor, and I submit to you, my fellow citizens, that he has redeemed every pledge and promise made you, and has made a record as such County Attorney that we as citizens and voters ought to recognize and be proud of, and I rejoice to know that he has been unanimously nomi nated for re-election by his own party, and is being generously sup ported by a very large and respectable body of the opposite party, and I earnestly appeal to every friend of mine in Shawnee county, whether he be Democrat or Republican, to give Mr. Schenck a warm, hearty and active support for re-election to the office of County At torney, the duties of which office have been so faithfully and efficiently discharged during his term. I therefore appeal to you, my fellow citizens, to give Mr. Schenck, a hearty and earnest support for re-election and thus say to him: "Well done thou good and, faithful servant. You have been true to the people and to their interest, and as a just reward for your fidelity we will cheerfully give you a second term." I regret that I did not have an opportunity to place my name with the other lawyers of this County to the written statement pledging him their support in the first instance, but when that statement' is read by the voters of the County, I beg that they will treat me as a signer thereof. Jno. Martin As our names do not appear on the original indorsement, we, the undersigned, members of the Shawnee County Bar Association, desire to add our names to the list, and hereby pledge our support to John J. Schenck for re-election to the office o of county attorney of Shawnee county, Kansas: Topeka, Kansas, October 29, 1908. To the Voters of Shawnee County, Kansas: We, the undersigned, members of the Board of County Commissioners, desire to commend John J. Schenck, County Attorney, for the admirable manner in which he has conducted the business of bis office. As legal adviser, of this Board he has been of great value to us in the performance of our duties. Through his counsel Shawnee County has upon the tax rolls $667,000.00 being the reserve fund of the Illinois Life, Insurance Company. In this' one item alone his efforts have saved to the tax payers of this County about $10,500.00 per year. In many other instances his advice to this Board has been of great value and benefit, and we have in no case been compelled to employ outside counsel. The criminal court expenses of the County have been greatly reduced by Mr. Schenck 's uniform success in criminal prosecutions. While differing in political opinion from the majority of the members of this Board, yet, in justice to Mr. Schenck and the tax payers of this County, we deem it but just to make this public acknowledgment of his great worth and ability as County Attorney, believing his re-election would be to the advantage of the tax payers of Shawnee County. Chairman Board County Commissioners. years and har been unusually success ful in handling the business. His purchases have amounted to from fifteen to twenty thousand dol lars a. year and this has been, disposed of through Mr. Robertson's force in Oklahoma.

National Chair man Mack in an authorized statement today regarding President Roosevelt's denial of the relations between the ad ministration and the Standard Oil com pany, declared that he had "positive proof that for ten days negotiations were going on between the Taft man agers and the Standard Oil company to get tne support or the Standard Oil people all over the country and to get a contribution of $1,000,000, which is the same amount they gave in. 1896, 1900 and 1304."

Topeka.' force when It Is remembered that he made a similar denial four years ago when Judge Parker declared that the Republican managers in charge of Mr. Roosevelt's campaign were receiving money from corporations. "He denied that story more vehem ently than he does the present charge. No one has forgotten that both Mr. Harriman and Mr. Roosevelt had con firmed Judge Parker's charges. So far as denying the relations Detween Presi dent Roosevelt and the Standard Oil company is concerned Mr. Roosevelt forgets that Mr. Taft and his managers want to do a little bargaining of their own, while they also know that Mr. Roosevelt wishes to be 'it' in the event of Taft's election. Mr. Roosevelt must know that the Republican managers for Mr. Taft felt the necessity of getting another million dollars at this particu lar juncture and that the loss of the Standard Oil's millions in this cam paign was one of the things that the Grand Old Party could not get along with and that the Taft managers made a successful bargain with the Standard Oil people. "As to whether Mr. Taft will cheat Wall street, the Standard Oil company and the Steel Trust if he should be elected or stand with Mr. Roosevelt who nominated him, that Is a question that the public can determine for them selves. "Chairman Hitchcock does not deny that the national committee is getting money from individuals in the Stand ard Oil company.which Is only another means of the Standard Oil company as a corporation giving funds to the Re publican management. If the Repub lican national committee wants the public to take any stock in their state ment and to believe the actual truth of the contributions to the campaign they should have made their contribu tions public from day to day, a the, Democratic party has done. If so they would not have received $100,000 at a time from any individual or any cor poration." In answer to Mr. Mack's statement, Chairman Hitchcock, of the Republi can national committee, today dictated the following: "The assertion that there have been negotiations between myself and the Standard Oil company in reference to compalgn contributions is absolutely untrue. So far as my knowledge goes there has been no contribution to our campaign fund by any person connect ed with the Standard Oil company, no matter in what capacity, nor has any such person been solicited to contrlh ute." Mr. Hitchcoak declined to discuss the rumor that the statement of Mr. Rocke feller was given ot at the Instance of the Democratic national committee for tne purpowe oi injurants sar. xtiiu ne added that he had yet to hear of any one who regared seriously Mr. Rocke feller's statpaftnt of his intention to vote for Mil Tft.

Desperate Methods In the last days of the campaign, driven from every other Issue which they have endeavored to make "para mount" the Democratic State Committee have resorted to falsehoods and misrepresentations concerning the new "We must win on this Issue or we are lost," Is the word which has gone out from Democratic state headquarters to the county chairmen. The new tax law was enacted in response to a demand for such legislation. It was not a partisan measure. Only one Democrat in the legislature voted against It. It has been enforced by a commission composed of one Democrat and two Republicans. The Democratic member of the tax commission con demns the Democratic fight on the law and Jn a signed statement calls it "demagoguery." Under the new tax law, all property is assessed at its actual value in cash. Is not that fair and just? In each county real estate and personal property values are fixed by assessors living in the county, who thoroughly understand local values. Is not that fair and just? Railroads, telegraph lines, telephone lines, and pipe lines are assessed by the state board. The state board raised the value of such properties from $77,272,445 In 1907 to 1404.320,362 in 1908.

Never were the people of a state as prosperous as we are today. We are raising abundant crops of .all kinds -which are selling at good prices. Our cattle, hogs and everything else the farmers' have to; dis-"" pose of find a ready market; the merchants and business men are prosperous and contented ;our banks are full of money; the wage earners in every walk of life are being well paid for their ser vices; our lands and homes have doubled and tripled in value during the past few years. Under these conditions can we afford to make a change? Do you want a change at" this time in the administration of public affairs of our Nation? There never has been a time in the history of the Republican party when we could point to our past achievements with greater pride than at, this time. "We have one of the best equipped and qualified candidates for President ever offered to the American people. 5 The selection of a President is one of the most important matters that confront the Ameri- can people every four years, and you and I are stockholders-in the great American corporation, the "United States," and the stockholders have been called together to discuss the-business o. this corporation, past and future, and to decide whom we want to manage our affairs for the. next Presidential term. They have been well and ably managed for the past eight years and the stockholders have received large dividends, and as a business proposition, I contend that it is--wise to continue our same management. Besides, the election of Judge Taft as President has a specific money value to every far mer, laborer and merchant; to the farmer in the way of good prices for his products; to the la-;; borer in the way of steady employment at good wages; to the merchant in the way. of good trade at fair profits. v "We offer you as candidates on the Congressional and State Tickets a splendid lot of men; j men for whom it is not necessary to make any apologies. They have all been tried in their re1 spective places in this great corporation and were found thoroughly capable, honest and effi cient. Our candidates for the Legislature and all County Tickets were nominated by a major ity vote of the common people for the first time, and I appeal to the people of Kansas to vote for them. x j If you are satisfied with present conditions and the continued prosperity of the State and Nation, we believe it is a duty you owe to your country to cast your ballot for William Howard Taft and the Republican ticket and by that act say, as did our beloved McKinley, "YOU ARE THE MAN." With best wishes for the success and prosperity of all, I remain, Yours very truly, Chairman Republican State Central Committee. W. R. STUBBS Republican Candidate for Governor of Kansas. TAFT Mr. Bryan says he is for'eontinulng' the "Roosevelt policies:"- Mr.-Tart says he is in favor of "clinching" these same palicies. What, is the question between the two can didates for President 'for the next four years? It is a ques tion not of the Roosevelt- policies so much as of testa which no man is prophet enough to foresee the emergen cies, the critical and unexpected problems which arise In a period of four years of ourj national history. It Is a ques tion of the candidate's -prudence, judgment, wisdom and practical experience in affairs. We present Mr. Taft as a man to whom It has hapened ;tht his qualities have been 'severely tested In places tf great administrative respon sibllity in whose Judgment, prudence and wisdom the na tion may rightly feel that it caa place reliance.

If you do, vote for W. R. Stubbs, -Republican nominee for governor of Kansas. BRISTOW Every intelligent voter in Kansas knows that J. I. Brla tow. Republican nominee for United States senator, has made good. In the service of the government, no stood for decency and honesty1. Political pull of those who had robbed the public weighed as nothing with Bristow. Bristow's splendid ability, tireless energy and indomit able courage drove grafters out of government depart ments and helped create sentiment for "the Roosevelt policies." The man who is upright and able in private and public life can be trusted to protect the interests of Kansas In the United States senate. Will You Endorse a Clean Campaign? "The Republicans of Kansas enter the last week of the campaign with absolute confidence of a splendid victory. We have conducted a clean, earnest and frank campaign, absolutely free from all personalities. We have not issued a single letter, or uttered a single word, attacking the personal character, or private affairs of any of our opponents. "I have fulfilled the understanding that I had with Chairman Martin at the beginning that we would conduct a clean and fair campaign. I regret that the Democrats have not pursued a similar course. They have flooded Kansas with scurrilous pamphlet's containing false and un fair statements, both as to the official and personal records of our candidates." Chairman Dolley. Voters of JXaesas It is up to you to say on November 3rd whether you approve of the unfair methods adopted by some of our opponents in this campaign. We are will ing to leave our cause in your hands.

This fete ly hag come down to us through var ious centuries from the time in the seventh century, when the Pantheon at Roma wag converted into a Christian ralace of worship and dedicated to the virgin and all the martyrs. The Ger tnuns and Anglo-Saxons took up the day, find through them we received the pres ent name, which now signifies an entirely different celebration from that which was originally intended. Halloween is the Anelo-Saxon Halig and the German Heliige. meaning holy or sacred, and near ly equivalent to the Latin Sanctus, from which comes our word saint. All Saints' or All Hallows' day is the first dav of November, and Halloween is celebrated the evening before, October SI. At first the celebration took place on 'tlIe .?J,rBt of ?Iav- under the designation of ''Feast of All Saints." It was set apart as a Keneral commemoration in honor of the saints, and as such retained by the Anglican and American Episcopal churches. The Halloween of todav.' however, has nothing churchly about It. and seems to he a relic of pagan times of mediaeval superstitions, who regarded It as the time of all others when supernatural influences prevailed, and which set apart the night for universal walking abroad of spirits both of the visible and Invisible world Oti this mystlo evening it wns believed that the human spirit might detach Itself from the body and wander ahroad. Halloween seems eoually similar to the "Walnurgls night" of the Germans, the witch festival or assembling of evil spirits on the sum- old in Head meSail Poor a teaspoon ful of Omey Oil in a cup of boiling water, bold the mouth and nose close to the cup, and Inhale the arising steam.

12 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1908. An Ancient Bit of Politics. The International Sunday School Les son for November 1 Is, "Absalom re bels against David." II Samuel 15. HY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. The clash and clamor of politics now fills the air; and people are especially In the mood to study the Bible's most famous story of political Intrigue. The temporary triumph of an unscrupulous politician, by the use of all the arts which we have seen displayed in these present times, is portrayed in the re bellion of Absalom. This handsome prince was a demagogue; possessed of all the arts that win the unthinking populace, yet utterly false at heart and utterly selfish. Th MVMll th lfl.r distlnC- tion that often exists between the poli tician and the patriot. Absalom used the wiles of the former for his own selfish ends; he was willing to sacrinc all things sacred faith and honor and loyalty and love and country's well-beingfor the sake of his personal am bition. Although many hailed him as the deliverer front moss-grown regime, he wu really a great peril to the king dom and to the popular welfare. It Is a safe principle to observe that no selfish man can be Bret class servant of the people. The Problem of th Top. The problem of the young man In the city, with frivolous tastes and over weening vanity and a petty sort of fop pishness, Is another present-day situa tion exemplified In this old story. Absa lom Is the dandy of the Bible. He was good looking, and he knew It. His care for his hair and complexion and his raiment were strictly up to date. With him as with a sad array of present day youths, the barber, the tailor, the hatter the shoemaker, and the haber- dasher, played a large part in his scheme of life. An observer of modern tendencies may be inclined to wonder what these manicured and massaged youths of our day, who display the latest designs In hosiery and neck-wear on the principal streets, are going to amount to in themselves, and what will they do for the community. Assuredly, we hare over-many Absaloms nowa- dThe absence of regard for the big virtues is a crying evil of our time. Obsessed by a passion for small dis play, myriads of young men seem to lack all sense of filial duty and of ser vice to the state. Intelligent patriot ism is as absent as the spirit of grati tude from their composition. They have a contempt for old fashioned vir tues, and seem to care only for the flaslry frivolous aspect of life. Their highest ambition is to be regarded as 'men of the world." They talk sport day and night, "play the races" when they get a chance, and In general wor ship at the shrine of "a good time.' They measure a man's success by his ability to spend. Both the church and the state have a huge task before them In making real men out of these Absaloms, for If a person has not truth in his Inward parts, only the Lord Al mighty can do anything with him. In the meantime, the consideration of the parents' hearts that must be broken, even as David's was broken by Absa lom, is a depressing spectacle. A Prince Who. Whs Demagogue. Guile Absalom had in abundance, but no genuineness. He was a subtle, secret crafty, devious character. He did not hesitate to use any means to cloak his own hidden purposes. Be neath his good looks and carefully bar- berea nair was a mina oeni omy un ma own ends. That sort of man is a men ace wherever you find htm. For friend or foe, choose a sincere, Ingenuous, and direct person, whose hate or whose love wears no mask. Absalom waited two years to square accounts with his step brother Amnon for the crime against his sister, and then slew him while he was his guest. Ugh! This was worse conduct than Amnon's if such a thing could be possible; Amnon had behaved as a swine, but Absalom behaved as a Bnake. This unroyal shrewdness and dlslngenousness sat ill upon one who descended from two lines of kings. After he had killed the un suspecting Amnon at his own feast, he fled for two years to his mother's family at Geshur. Then he dwelt two years In Jerusalem without seeing his father's face. He was restored by the connivance of another crafty character, old General Joab. who, in the end, was the slayer of Absalom. Despite the base conduct of the boy, David loved him. The heart Is an un ruly member. David mourned for the absent Absalom even as he had not mourned for the dead Amnon. Per haps David's sorrow was made more poignant by the remembrance of his own sin. 'Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth." "How sharper than a serpent's tooth It la to have a thankless child!" cried King Lear. Old King David, mellowed by penitence and sorrow, was to drink deep this cup of suffer ing. He was to go down into a dark valley yet there he sang songs in the night which have been the heart cry and comfort of myriads since. For while his fond father, all unsuspect ing, sat on the throne, the good look ing prince set about shrewdly to steal the hearts of the men of Israel. That was no hard matter. The masses are easily deceived in affairs of politics. They take the ante-electlon utterances of candidates as gospel truth. So, quite like the modern baby-kissing, hand-shaking candidate, Absalom went about among the people, sowing discontent with the present situation, and winning their allegiance to him self. Early at the city gate, he would profess false sympathy with seekers after justice, undermining his father's reputation and administration. There was no blemish upon Absalom's per son, from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head; but In character, which is the real measure of a man, he was a black Inarate. The plotting and conspiring which followed read like the present news dispatches from the Balkan states, or from Turkey, or from Russia.- There were secret conferences on all hands. Spies were as numerous as schemes. Plotting and undermining and trading In favors to come, reached in every direction. When he thought the country was ripe for his sedition. Prince Absalom approached his father affectionately and said that he wanted to go to Hebron to pay a vow unto Jehovah. It was no new trick, this cloaking of politics under the guise of religion, but it was as odious then as it is now. Absalom had the name of God on his lips, but he had vile schemes of Ingratitude and selfishness in his heart. In all this he was abetted by Ahltophel, David's Judas. The Vultures and the Carrion. The standard of open revolt was raised at Hebron. The place seekers thought they read the signs of the times, and flocked where they believed their advantage would He. Large considerations of patriotism seemed shamelessly lacking. As vultures flock to carrion, so a multitude went with Absalom. When the 1 news' came to David, whose fatherly love had blinded his kingly vigilance, the old man went forth in flight, broken hearted. It was a great humbllhg for the king. He looked upon his own transgres sions in the past, and felt that even this was but his Just punishment. His spirit seemed utterly broken. Even Shimei might curse him from the hills without fear. No longer had he aught to live for. Like his greater son, he went out to the Mount of Olives and wept. That was Absalom's hour of con quest; he broke his father's spirit. David was ready to surrender all al though he would not imperH aught for his own sake. Insisting that the Ark should not follow him, but should re main at Jerusalem. As we shall see next week, David had loyal friends, however, and in this time of testing, they proved themselves. Moreover, he was still King David, the representative of Jehovah and of right, while Absalom was the embodiment of treason, sel fishness, and ingratitude. "And right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty. To falter would be sin." The Secret of Peace. Terse Comments on the Uniform Prftyer jneeung xopie or tne Young People's Societies Christian Endeavor, Bap tist Toung People's Union, Epworth League, Etc. for Nov. 1. Topic "Bongs of the Heart. XI. The Bleep less Watcher." Ps. 121. BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS. As the Joyous hosts of Israel wended their pilgrim way up to the Feast at Jerusalem, they sang the songs of the heart which we have in the Book of Psalms, under the sub-captions, "A Song of Ascents." These profound ut terances, which used to ring to the bright Judean skies, have ever since been echoing in the hearts of men and women the world around. Especially dear and familiar is the Psalm which the young people's societies are to study this week: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the moun tains: From whence shall my help come? My help cometh from Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. "He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Jehovah is thy keeper: Jehovah Is thy shade upon thy right hand. "The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night. Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; He will keep thy soul. Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in. From this time forth and for evermore." It Is not man's weakness, but man's strength, that, in all final issues, he is dependent upon a Higher Power than himself. The old translation of this beautiful psalm made the singer look to the hills for help: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help." The revision renders it better, for the heart's help comes from a higher source than the hills: '.'From whence cometh my help? My help cometh from Jeho vah." Stronger than the mountains, loftier than the sources of their bene ficent springs, Is the help of the Lord Himself. The mountains are round about Jerusalem; but to the myriads of people who have never seen a mountain this figure does not appeal; they do know, however, the power and precious ness of the all-enfolding protection of the Almighty. The best of earthly help falls. The strongest of men know what it is to feel their supports tottering beneath them. "Vain is the help of man!" at some time or other cries everybody. Happy is he who in this extremity learns that there Is a Bleepless Watch er, an omnipotent Guardian and an un failing Friend. Life is perplexing. There are occasions when it baffles everybody. To many it Is a lane between two rows of grinning sphinxes. All of us need assistance from without ourselves in mastering the mystery of life. Who so well able to help as Ha who planned our lives, and of whom the Psalmist cried, "My times are In thy hand?" For the child of God existence is not a mere sur prising sequence of unrelated and for tuitous "happenings;" it is a plan of a loving, divine Father, whose thoughts toward us are all merciful. Thre is sweet sleep and rest for the believer in the assurance that the sleepless eye of the heavenly Father keeps watch over him. The sentinel figure was in the Psalm ist's mind when he penned the lines concerning the Guardian of Israel who never sleeps. Everybody is familiar with the work of the sentry, who watches the camp night and day, that no enemy may approach. The regiment and army give no thought to their own safety; they sleep in peace, because of the vigilance of the guards who are ever on post. So the peace of God sentinels the heart of the Christian. He should be free from care and fear, because of the unsleeping Watcher. That God cares Is the greatest reme dy for man's cares. Of His high attributes, beyond the most I thank my God for that omniscient eye. Beneath whose blase no secret thing can lie In His infinitude of being lost. I bless my God I am not wrecked and tossed -Upon a sea of doubt, with power to fly And hide, somewhither In immensity. One single sin out of His reckoning crossed. For even there, self-conscious of its thrall. Would spring- the terror: "If He saw the whole, And tracked this skulking guilt out to its goal. He could not pardon!" But, or great or small. He sees the Inmost foldings of my soul. And, seeing utterly, forgives my all. Anon. A child delights to "show off" before his father. His greatest reward is the beholding approval of a pleasant and affectionate parent. So the conscious ness that the unsleeping Shepherd of Israel both watches out for us, and watches us, is a deep source of com fort and strength. His is not the hos tile eye of the Jailer or the crltlo, but the tender, loving, and gladdened eye of a Father whose highest happiness Is the well-doing of his child. The all-seeing Eye Is a deterrent, as well as an incentive. It restrains from evil, and inspires to good. He was the strongest man I knew, Serene and self-secure; Fashioned to mock at time and chanoe, To suffer and endure. I saw him poor. Unknown, despised, Hew out his gradual way; J saw him battle mighty wrongs. As if the war were play. I saw him lift men up, and best. When life went like a song Of pleasant things, I saw him still Simple and pure and strong. And, learning of his faith, I asked How such a thing need be In one so strong, and whence it came, And thus he answered me: "God lives, God reigns, God loves the world: This much at least I know With all my heart and bouI, because Because I need Him so!"

Very often the best way of fighting temptation is to cease fighting, fill the mind with Christ and holy thought, and then trust quietly to the delivering power of His Holy Spirit. B. J. Camp bell.

But Christ, who died and rose again, breathes his spirit Into his disciples and accompanies them for evermore. Those who do not possess the life of Christ w-lthin them may exist, but they do not live. Life is that which is added to existence by direct fellowship with him. Rev. Charles L. White, Baptist. Waterville, Me. NEED OP EARNESTNESS. The cause of many failures In life is the lack of earnestness. We are well aware of the fact that there are times when the best of men go under in the struggle. Conditions are often such as to render it almost impossible for a man to win honorably and rather than do so dishonestly some fail. But this Is the exception to the rule. The world's highways today are cumbered by multitudes of those who had no strength for the strife, because they proved cowards at the very time when they should have he roically faced the Issue, been strong for God and the right, carried the dpy and -walked off with laurels well won and deservlngly merited. The time for a man to prove himself a man is when everything is against him. It is no great honor to a man to be good, to win, to get along in the world when everything goes well. But to do all this when the odds are against him Is worthy of the homage of men. The great trouble with many is that at the very time when the best of thought and strength are required is the time when they have the least, be cause they have wasted and destroyed that which they had. Instead of call ing into practical effect every energy and thought they often surrender and seek relief In the intoxicating cup, where they lose all power, and failure is inevitable. When the wolf of want Is at the door is the time to be in earnest, the time for the assertion of the truest and noblest of traits, the time to prove that victory can be won if we will but hold fast courageously and honestly to the end. This holds true not only in business relations, but can be made most practical In ev eryday life. People sometimes say, "Take it easy." This is the failure of many. Few people meet with success by taking things easy. As well tell a captain to take it easy when he is out at sea in a great storm. To be worthy of the 'position he holds he has no time for ease. It Is either in earnest and win or it is at ease and go under in the storm. "At ease in Zion" is the cause of the failure of many today in the church of the liv ing God. The lazy Christian is usual ly a failure. The world is full of those who see nothing but the world and its pleasures about them. Indif ferent to their sense of duty to God, they live only for the world and its pleasures. Alas for such, they "feed on ashes," and when they depart this world they are miserably poor. Were it even possible for some to take with them their gold and silver it is just possible that it would melt at the place where many will spend eter nity. We must, therefore, be in ear nest not only in business life, not only in all the various callings and po sitions, but we must not forget the one thing needful. Many a man has rid iculed the church and religion in times of health only to acknowledge at times of sickness that he was WBRO'S Is the original remedy that D.

Public wor ship 11 a.m. and 7:30 p. m. Morning subject, "The Sun That Rises and Sets, HERPICIDE "kills the dandruff germ" W ITHOUT dandruff the hair must grow luxuriantly, except in chronic baldness, which is incurable. Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a germ or microbe. To cure dandruff, this germ a tiny vegetable growth must be destroyed and kept out of the scalp by Newbro's Herpicide. A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY A woman to be pretty must have pretty hair. Beau tiful locks have a subtle charm, for thepoet says, "fair tresses man's imperial race ensnare.' The unpoetic and intensely real dandruff microbe makes the hair dull, brittle and lusterless with later dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair. Newbro's Herpicide destroys this en emy of beauty and enables the hair to resume its natural luster and abundance. Almost marvelous results some times follow the continued use of Herpicide. Overcomes excessive oiliness and makes the hair light and fluffy. It contains no grease or dye. Stops itching of the scalp al most instantly. Discriminating ladies who have used Newbro's Herpicide, speak of it in the highest terms, for its almost magical effect upon the scalp, and also for its excellence as a regular hair dressing. It is delightfully fragrant and refreshing. "I have found Newbro's Herpioide excellent for the hair. The first application ttops itching of the scalp and it leaves the hair soft and silky."
