President D. A. Hayes of the na tional organization of glassblowers is a vice president of the American Federation of Labor, and for his part in attempting to lead the glassblowers into the Bryan camp Hayes is being scored by the union men who rejected the Bryan letter of Gompers. Prominent glassblowers say their trades only salvation is a protective 'tariff, through which their high wages were fostered, and the 700 blowers at Alton are loud in expressing their re sentment of an attempt of their head officers to lead them out of the re publican party. They say that many of their union voted for Cleveland and experienced four years of trade depre ssion and six years of a cut in wages, and they denounce Hayes for consent lng to the attempt to secure the Bry an indorsement.

They also recognize that the administration has done ev erything in its power for them. "In performing a solemn duty at this time in support of a political party, labor does not become partisan to a political party but partisan to a pr'n clple," declares President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor in a circular Issued today regarding la bor's attitude in the campaign.

'Vt' WHOLE HILLSIDE WHS ON FIRE Second Blaze That Has Occurred in This Same Vicinity Within the Last Few Weeks. IS THE SEVENTH FIRE Today's Fire Made the Seventh One Which Has Been Answered Since Last Satur. day. A run was made by the fire depart ment this noon at 12:45 to Second and Carroll streets where the whole hill side, above the railroad yards had caught fire and endangered a dozen or more residences in that vicinity. A shed in the rear of the F. L. Buck residence at that place had caught fire and a fence adjoining the shed had, also caught from the blaze on the hillside. Several matresses which were in the yard at the time became ignited and were burning when the firemen arrived. Several men and boys of the neighborhood did good work in keeping the flames from property in the vicinity of the fire by forming themselves into a bucket brigade and putting out the blaze that had caught the barn. The department made hose connec tions at Second and Palean with the large hose and the blaze was exting uished on the fence. The water was then turned onto the hillside where the fire was getting dangerously near to some freight cars filled with mer chandise. The chemical returned im mediately to the station as it was not needed and the large hose was kept playing on the fire for some time un til under control/Jig Second Fire. This is the second hillside fire in this vicinity in the last few weeks and neighbors are ever on the alert in this vicinity as switch engines in the yards below the hill are generally the cause by throwing sparks which catches the dry weeds and burns fiercely. This is the seventh fire since Satur day and the department has been do ing good work in the last few days in coping with the flames.

Hughes' Toungstown Speech "Mr. Mryan also has much to sny with regard to corrupt practices anil campaign expenditures. Hut he omits ^to give due credit to the Republican party for what it has Accomplished with regard to these important reforms, an accomplishment the more notewor- ln ated the light of Mr Bryan's reiter- criticisms of contributions to Re publican campaign funds. In the State of New York a Republican Legislature in 1900, passed a statute prohibiting corporations from making nny political contributions directly or indirectly, ami providing that officers, directors or stockholders participating tn or con sentlng to the violation of the law should be guilty of a criminal offense And I know of no more drastic statute Average, in this country with regard to the pul .353 llclty of campaign contributions and for the prevention of corrupt practice? than that passed in New York under Republican auspices. These were not promises of an opposition party seek ing power, but enactments by a party in power securing genuine reforms Proper recognition must, of course, be given to the patriotic Democrats who supported these reforms, but they were enacted by a Republican administra tion. Congress lias also legislated against political contributions by cor porations. Purity of elections and free opportunity for the uncorrupted expres sion of the popular will lie at the foun dation of every reform and cannot be too carefully safeguarded. And there should be federal legislation securing proper publicity of and accounting for campaign contributions In connection with federal elections. But It must fairly b£ recognized that the skirts of neither party have been clean. If we search .Mr. Bryan's following we shall And not a few who have sinned, and also those who, if we may Judge from their local activities, are still unrepent ant. The Democratic party cannot claim unsullied virtue either with re gard to the source of Its revenues or its readiness to receive tlieni." LABOR IN DEMOCRATIC STATES. Coal Miners in Alabama Subjugated Into Cringing Dependencies. That there's a "rift within the lute" of the Gompers proposition to deliver the labor rote of the country to Dem ocracy is becoming more apparent. While Mr. Bryan and Mr. Gompers are making special appeals to labor, neither refers to the deplorable condition of labor In the Democratic South Mr John P. White, for six years president of the Iowa I'nited Mine Workers, and now one of the national officers of the United Mine Workers' Asocintlon. who investigated mining labor conditions i:i the South, is not so reticent. In a re cent address to Local Union No. 07 of Albia. Iowa, he told of persecutions of labor in Alabama where a coal minors' strike was in progress. He is reported as saying: "The miners of Alabama have been subjugated until a majority have become cringing dependencies. Al most dally some of the laboring men of that State were mercilessly shot down for daring to assert their rights as American citizens. Ninety-one members of the Mine Workers' Association were thrown into jail without having com mitted any crime other than becoming 28 members of the organization." Ala bama is a State absolutely under con I trol of Bryan Democracy. •A". PAGE THREE Actual Operation of Postal Savingi lii-.

LuuS'j r—t -Vs "K The only postal savings bank sys tem ln operation under the Arfierican flag is that in the Philippines, where, after two years of experiment, thn Institution has been declared a great success in the report of the Philip pine commission, just published, th# postal savings bank Is discussed brief ly, Ju part us follows: "The postal saviugs bank was flrsl opened In Manila on Oct 1, 15)00. The law provides for three classes, with limitations as to the amount* that can be received at any one tlm» In each class. Following the opening of the Muni la office, other postal sav ings bank offices were opened In vari ous cities, of different classes until at the close of the year UlSfi had been opened, of which 9 were first, 8(1 were aecoud und 140 were third class Filipino* Alopllac SrMem. s!is| "At first the Filipinos did not to any great extent avail themselves of the opportunity of depositing a portion of their receipts In the postal saving* bank,und a great bulk of the depositors were Americans and of other nation alities. As the advantages of this sys tem have been disseminated through means of schools, government bureaus, private agencies and others, the pro portion of Filipinos is continually In creasing, and gives very good promise that the Filipinos will learn to trust •their money to the care of the govern ment, and welcome the opportunity. "The accounts opened up to tho close of the fiscal year numbered 2,670, of which 347 were closed, leav ing '2,329 still open. The deposits reached the total sum of 780,301,03 pe sos—nn uverage of 108 21 pesos. With drawals reached the total amount of 280,400.21 pesos, leaving a net deposit of pesos at the end of the fiscal year—or tho first nine months of the operation of the postal savings bank—but by no means the first nine months of operation of the average number of otlices, the smaller ones having been opened Trom time to time during the year, so thnt many bad not been opened more than a month or two at the time these figures were taken. Enettnraging Small Account). The device of issuing postal sav ings bank stamps has met with some response. The stamps are simply a method by which small amounts can be deposited without the expense of Issuing a book, figuring Interest, and opening an account. "On the whole, the reception accord ed the postal savings bank has been gratifying, and gives good promise. The investment of the funds is in tho hands of a postal savings bank invest ment board, which carries a certain amount of the funds on deposit, and has limited power of Investment.

WOMAN STEPPED FROM TRAIN A Few Miles South of Alexandria Early This Morning and Was Seriously In- ssm jured. ACCIDENT I MYSTERIOUS Gave Her Name as Mrs. Maria Pleasant and Was Going to Iowa City From Ten- nessee." 1 A very strange and serious accident occurred early this morning three miles below Alexandria when a pas senger on the line train going north stepped from the platform of one of the coaches and was thrown violently, Injuries resulting which have caused her to lay In a semi-conscious state at St. Joseph hospital for the past twelve hours. The accident was one of the strangest that has come to pass for some time and the entire accident is shrouded In deep mystery which still remained untangled. In a semi-con scious condition at St. Joseph's hos pital early this morning the woman gave her name to Dr. Gray, the at tending physician, as being Mrs. Maria Pleasant and stated that she was on her way to Iowa City from her home In Limestone, Tenn., to visit a son who is a student at Iowa University. Details. The accident took place this morn ing at 2:37 o'clock. As the train neared Alexandria Mrs. Maria Pleas ant left her seat In the coach and pass ed unnoticed to the platform of the car. Reports are to the effect that she simply stepped off the platform but the real manner in which the woman left the train is very vague to the train men. When trainmen learned of the accident the train was brought to a stop and the seriously in jured woman lifted tenderly aboard and brought to this city. A telephone message was sent to E. E. Hawkes from Alexandria and when the train arrived at the union depot the ambu lance arrived and conveyed the injur ed person to St. Joseph's hospital. Dr. Gray was summoned and gav.- the un conscious woman attention. Her Injuries. Upon medical examination it was found that the injuries are mostly con fined to the head. Several scalp wounds were found and dressed but no operation was neccssary. As yet no fracture of the skull has been found. Mrs. Pleasant has been in a semi-conscious state since taken to the hospital and has been able to give little concerning herself and the acci dent. She seems to have forgotten the manner leading up to her fall from the train. She Is about sixty-five years of age. vif Jap Rose Is the "Bubble Bath Soap" because the lather is all "bubbles.": No grease to clog the pores. You'll see the difference. For sale by all dealers.

VETERANS FORM A LACE CLUB Candidate's Record as a Soldier Ap peals to the Veterans of usjsi Dubuque. roue City Special Service.] DUBUQUE, Oct. 15.—The veteran soldiers of Iowa are practically a unit in their support of Major John La cey of Oskaloosa for United States senator to succeed Allison. Major Lacey's record as a gallant soldier and a brave officer in the Union army gives him a hold upon the people and especially upon the old soldiers which is making itself felt as the campaign progresses. It is therefore fitting that here in the citv which the lamented Allison made his home for so many years, should be formed the first or ganization of. veteran soldiers to sup port the candidacy of a fellow veteran for the senatorial succession. After some discussion It was unani mously decided to invite the members of Fitzhugh Lee Camp Spanish War Veterans and the Sons of Veterans to co-operate with t::ie members of the Veterans' Lacey Club in working for his success. It was also decided to open hendiuarters which will be in charge of Secretary Cutts, end whevs literature, documents, etc., will be dis seminated and arrangements made to interest all Republicans of Dubuque county in support of Major Lacey. The members of the Veterans Lacey Club are all of them in earnest !n the support of their comrade for the high offic.e for which he is a candidite. Major Lacey and President Crawford were comrades and the latter is an In timate friend and warm admirer of tie Republican candidate. It is hoped that this movement, so auspiciously started will be followed by similar organizations In other parts of the state. Every veteran in Iowa should take an Interest in the cause of Major Lacey, and put forth every ef fort possible to see that the Republi can vote of the state is given to him for United States Senator. Ridiculous Communications. Burlington Hawk-Eye Candidate Kennedy probably has enjoyed read ing his "registered" mail recently. What the public knows of some of the communications has greatly amused it. Success are closely allied to Grape Nuts ,r" Last evening a large number of vet erans met and amid great enthusiasm, organized the Dubuque County Veter an's Lacey Club. There were speeches, cheers and many enthusiastic mani festations of the high esteem in which Major Lacey is held. Nearly everyone present added his mite to the universal expression of endorsement, and devo tion to-the Major's cause. The organi|years zation was completed by the choice of the following officers: President—Hon. P. W. Crawford.! Secretary—H. L. Cutts. Treasurer—Peter Klene. Vice-Presidents—Peter Kiene. T. W. Ruete. C. H. Berg. George W. Healy, Hendy Kiely, P. S. Bailor, Leonard Buehler and Adam Vogel. 1 and good digestion (here's a Reason" Sj--.' S'jfe. 1 When II ifr 111S11! vsjiy,' 1 \l i: i8Il fiP I ft® stfS It® ill Where there Is complete and perfect digestion there is, of course, no room for dyspepsia. And it is, for various reasons, more satisfactory to pre vent dyspepsia than to attempt to cure it. Fact is, you must depend upon Nature for a cure, and Kodol assists Nature. Nature will cure a sick stomach quicker than any medicine in the world—If you give Nature a chance. But Nature cannot cure the stomach while the stomach is overworked. That is im possible. In order to be cured the stomach must rest. That is the point. And that is'what Kodol Is for —to rest the stomach. It digests every particle of food for the stomach, so that the stomach has nothing to do but get well. Then it gets well. You would be surprised If you knew how many persons have indigestion. And, of course, most of them have dyspepsia, ultimately—if they neg lect the indigestion. Then Nature Is in urgent need of assistance. And nervous dyspepsia Is a terrible thing to those afflicted with It. Kodol supplies this assistance just the same as in the early Btages of Indigestion. But more time *nd more rest are required for Nature to effect a, cure. It is best not to wait until one gets dys pepsia. Nearly all classes of people are subject to in digestion. Healthy appearance outwardly is no indication of a healthy stomach. Neither are sound muscles any safeguard against an unhealthy stomach.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat: In the edifying daily chronicles of fifty years ago carried on in an esteemed contem porary we note that one of the trying afflictions of commerce in that day was that the steamboats that plied t..e Mississippi had an extravagant bias for sinking. They appear to have been incredibly frail and sank as often as not. Every day or two "fifty years ago" a boat en gaged In the St. Louis trade went under, either on the upper or the lower river. The fleets that floated on the yellow current, extraordinary as they were, could not compare In their num bers with those w:iiich rested In le gions on its bottom. One day it. was the Belle of the Southland, the next the City of Vlcks burg, or It was the Comanche or the Grand Tower or the Daisy Dean, All must sooner or later be gathered to the bosom of the Fa-her of Waters, some day catfish must muzzle the swaying chandeliers in their gilded halls and tie swirling currents sand the floors where fair daughters of Southern planters had been wafted as That's different from Indigestion.

Truth to tell, those boats of other days were about the flimsiest vehicles of travel or else the worst navigated of any in history. But no one seemed to mind the danger. Often aisasters on the river were not fatal. If the boat went to the bottom, tae, bottom was frequently near the top,' and It might take a month for her to press downward through the river mud until her total obstruction followed. Usually her smokestacks stood for many a season, black monuments to her fate.

PAGE SIX TRACY HEARD LAST EVENING Candidate For United States Congress man Addressed the Democrats -f at Ltederkranz Hall. HE SPOKE ON LABOR "And Attempted to Square Himself With the Labor Men of Keo- "t kuk—Ot^er Speakers of the Evening. 'M-i i-Hon. kjeorge S. Tracy, democratic candidate for United States congress from this district, addressed a small audience of democrats last evening at Lelderkranz hall. The speaker touched upon the subject ot union la bor and also upon the Titus and Thuenen bills. Not many wage-earners were pres ent and those who were there poured hot shot Into Mr. Tracy until they fair ly forced him off his feet. When Tracy asked rhetorical ques tions, A. E. Moore answered them. When Tracy devoted almost his entire speech to defending himself against charges of treachery to laoor on which it convicted him two years ago, Mr. Moore invited the entire audience to come to Schouten's jhall Friday even ing to hear the other side and the actual truth from the Hps of President when em- what Tracy did to labor ployed by labor. The speech of Tracy Intensely antag onized the element it was designed to placate judging from both the open interruptions and the remarks of la bor men afterward. Both Denied and Dodged. Tracy specifically and emphatically denied the charges on which the in vestigation of two years convicted him in the minds of the labor vote. about Mr. Tracy also said In the course of speech: Democratic Platform. 1 stand squarely on the democratic platform. I stand squarely on the labor _____ plank in that platform and I win vote for that plank if I fall to ?et. a I vote in Des Moines county. I heard Oompers make his address before their committee in Denver and make his labor speech. Upon the question to Gompers' as to whether he could give the labor vote to the democratic platform be ing asked, he stated no, but that he could give the' vote of one man and that was himself. Now it is up to yon gentlemen, whether or not you will take side with the party that g?ve you relief or whether you will give your vote to the party that turned deaf ear. Labor was turned away from congress and before the Chicago com mlttee labor men went and ask for recognition In their platform. Why shall the people send a man to congress who supports a platform that does not represent the labor men? Why are republicans afraid to publish contributions given before elections? Are they afraid of the people? What good will it do if it comes out after election that the steel trust has given big donation. Carnegie has given 520,000, but who does he represent? He is back of the steel trust. You always received compensation from work done for anything and so it is the way with these campaign contri butions returns are expected. Hon. E. P. McManus, J. R.

It is known as Halley's comet, in honor of Its discoverer in 1680. Calcula tions were then made by Halley and Sir Isaac Newton, which identified the comet with one reported in 1531 and in 1607. This established its period icity. Calculations were made for its return in 1759. Clairault undertook the mathematical part, and formulat ed the algebraical problems. But there remained an immense labor in converting these into the numerical formula. This was undertaken by two mathematicians, one of whom was a woman, Madame Hortense Leplante, and the other the famous astronomer Lalande. During more than six months they labored incessantly to put into numbers the algebraical form ula. Leland was the first to complete the calculations. The result was that the planet Saturn would delay the comet's return 102 days, and the plan et Jupiter 518 days, in all 620 days. This meant that its revolution would be one year and eight months longer than the previous one. Its return was fixed at April 14, 1759. This predic tion excited wonder and amazement throughout Europe. And it was worthy of it all. It was the most dar ing thing ever attempted. As pre dicted, however, the comet came, and followed the Indicated course among the constellations. This began a new era in cometary astronomy. In view of the fact that Uranus and Neptune—the giant planets at the ex tremity of our system—were not then discovered so that their influence on the comet could not be determined, the result was truly marvelous. The period of its revolution between 1759 and 1835 was 28,006 days, but "the period of its former revolution was 27,937 days. Calculations have now been made, showing its present revolutions to be 799 days shorter than the preceding one, and according to Pontecoulant, the comet will reach its nearest point in the heavens to us on May 24, 1910. Between 1835 and 1872 the comet was traveling away from ts at incon ceivable rate of speed. In 1873 it doubled the cape in its icy winter, and since then has been flying toward the sunny summer of our sky at a con stantly increasing speed.

HAVE THIS OVER WITH Diapepsin Rids You of Stomach Trou ble and Makes You Feel Fine— Start Now and Have This Mis ery Over With Forever— Gives Relief in About Five Minutes. As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of indi gestion or some form of stomach trouble, why don't you keep a case of I Diapepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and regulate a sour stomach five minutes after, Tell your pharmacist to let you read 1 the formula plainly printed on these I 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why they cure indigestion, sour stomach, heart burn and prevent at once such miser ies as belching of gas, eructations of sour undigested food, nausea, head aches, dizziness, constipation and oth er stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from indigestion with the common every-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have romething else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of nervousness, gastritis, catarrh of the stomach or cancer. This is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is. what you eat does not digest instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, gas and stomach poison, which will putrefy in the entire di gestive tract and intestines, and. be sides, poison the breath with nauseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough di gestion and without the slightest dis comfort or misery of the stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin. One candy-like Triangule. taken af ter eating, will promptly digest al'. your food, the same as a strpng, healthy stomach would do it.

FAVORITE FOOD WON'T HURT YOU Give Your Stomach a Good Eat With out Fear of Indigestion or Any Stomach Distress Fo|- HAS SETTLED Louis Sterne, Treasurer of the Base Ball Association, Makes v* His Report For the Season. US® A SUCCESSFUL SEASON •*si In. the Following Article Work Accomplished During The report shows that the old debt was between J900 and $1,000. On this debt about $250 has been disposed of by payment, and the association has a total of $525 coming back from the Central association. /vr §0'j In 1907 after the close of the' sea son it was found that the finances had been materially helped by the sale of players amounting to $1,000. But the season of 1908 finds no such condition prevalent, and although the directors would gladly receive $1,000 or there about for players, the fans seem satis fied to retain the old players and have pennant winners or a team that is certain to finish second or third. Again next season it will not be necessary to bring to the city a number of creen men to work out and tie expense will be greatly diminished. Bills of 1908 Paid.®i||S One gratifying thing in regard to the important subject of finances of the baseball association is the fact that all the bills contracted during 1908 have been paid in full. Also the bill for re pairs to the grand stand amounting to $200 has been paid. The money received for players amounted to $200, which was the sale of Boyd to Burlington, whiie the asso ciation paid $200 for players received during the season. Contributions for the maintenance of a baseball team in Keokuk have come from people In all walks of life. The clergy, clerks, employes in fac tories, bankers, business men, profes sional men, men of trades, and the la dies have all withstood their share in the expenses of the team and have sup ported the game while at home. The ladies are also to be thanked for the interest they have taken and for their earnest support and generous patron age Bright Prospects In Store. Bright prospects can be seen Cover ing over the baseball association and team for next season. Indeed, never were the conditions so favorable and with that venerable old baseball play er, Frank Belt to pilot the team the season's battle should be finished with ail the glory and joy that a pennant can bring. It is true that while the attendance during the past season was much larg er the expense was correspondingly greater. This may be attributed in part to a demand for higher salaries by the players than heretofore evi denced by the salary limit being rais ed at the July meting. A training trip cost the association $1,000. This training trip has been found to be an unnecessary expense and will be done away with next sea son. The trip was throug-i eastern Il linois and in almost every large city that the team was to play it rained, and as there was no guarantee money was lost. Springfield, Hannibal and Decatur were on this early spring schedule but rain occurred on the play ing dates and money was lost. Good Money a Home. During the league season toe re ceipts at home were very gratifying. The team while at home made money, but when on the trips was only able to pay transportation and hotel bills. Thus it can be seen that it was neces sary for the salaries of the players to be paid for thirty days with receipts from but fifteen games. While the report of finances as pub lished below does not contain a de tailed statement and all items therein contained, such a report would le un interesting to fans, but those who wish to inspect the books and gain a closer insight into the manner In which the association disposed of the money. People wishing to do so can call at the office of Treasurer Louis Sterne and there statements and receipts showing everything received and spent have been recorded. Whom We Owe For Success. It is not only Manager Belt whom we are indebted for success during the past season but to the directors of the association. To Hon. E. P. McManus, if. AL a counterfeit gold-plated dollar looks good-—for little while. But when the gold wears off the a through. the the Year Is 4 Noted. A financial report made by Treas urer Louis Sterne of the Keokuk Base Ball association for the season just ended will give the fans of Keokuk a clear insight into the cost of conduct ing a base ball team, and also the patronage the game enjoyed in this city during the five months that the national game provided a departure for the business men, young people, and for the fair sex of the city.

It is suggested by The Gate City that these five directors be re-elected at the next meeting of the association and let the fate of next season rest in their hands. It is also true that new men in base ball are handicapped and with men of exparience back of the game more can be safely and surely accom plished. The Report. Keokuk, Iowa, Oct. 12th, 1908.
