WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO RACE VOLUME V. HON. DAVI Democratic Nominee for Governor of Wisconsin. DAVID S. ROSE. BY HUGH RYAN. On the 3d day of September, 1902, the Democratic convention of the state of Wisconsin nominated David Stuart Rose upon the first ballot, he receiving 284 votes as against 243 divided among five other candidates. Early Life and Education David Stuart Rose, Democratic nominee for governor, was born June 30, 1856, near Darlington, Lafayette county, Wisconsin. Like a vast number of America's great men, Mayor Rose comes originally from the farm. Up to the age of 14 he performed in summer the ordinary work of a farmer lad, dividing his time in winter between "chores" and the district school. When he was 14 years old he entered a printing office as an apprentice; applying himself to the work before him with that industry and determination which have made him successful in all his undertakings, he soon mastered his trade. Becomes a Lawyer. After three years' experience as a printer young Rose, then 17 years of age, decided to adopt as his life work the practice of law. His father, James R. Rose, was one of the pioneer lawyers of the state, a gentleman and lawyer of the old school, with a high reputation for integrity and ability, and David became a student in his office, supporting himself by teaching school during the winter months. On his twentieth birthday he was admitted to the bar, after a rigid examination from a committee composed of M. M. Cothren, afterwards circuit judge, Moses M. Strong and P. B. Simpson, all notable lawyers of that day. Early Struggles. For the first two years after his admission to the bar young Rose remained in the office of Cothren & Rose. In 1878 he became ambitious to make his own professional record and reputation without the aid of older lawyers, and began to practice upon his own account. When he made this, the real beginning of his professional career, he had $7.50 in money, a kitchen table, one chair and an ancient edition of Starkey on Evidence. He borrowed a stove, bought half a dozen chairs for $1.50, invested the balance of his cash capital in fuel, and faced the future, with empty pockets, but serene in that perfect confidence in himself and his future which has never deserted him. His first year's practice netted him $1700, a large amount to be earned by a young country lawyer just entering upon his career. Every dollar of this sum not needed for actual living and personal expenses the young lawyer expended in books, thus forming the nucleus of the large and valuable law library which he now owns. Success as a Lawyer In the earliest days of his profession, Mr. Rose acquired the reputation of being a painstaking, industrious, able and energetic lawyer, noted for his loyalty to his clients and the courageous and aggressive manner in which he asserted and protected their rights, and that reputation he has ever since retained. Meets His Father as Opposing Counsel In one of the first cases which Rose tried in a court of record, his father had been retained as counsel for the other side. It is hardly necessary to say that the young attorney prepared himself with even more than customary care fo the trial of that particular case, and his father, glad of the opportunity of testing his son's ability, threw into the trial the entire force of his long experience and ripe ability. After a spirited contest the jury found for the son's client, and the father was prouder of the result than if the verdict had been his. Becomes Mayor of Darlington. In 1883 Mr. Rose received the Democratic nomination for mayor of Darlington, and was elected, only 47 votes being cast against him. In the following year his popularity and official ability were evidenced by his re-election as mayor without opposition. Delegate to National Convention of 1884. Delegate to National Convention of 1884 he was also selected as a delegate to the Democratic national convention, held at Chicago, and in 1886 was made temporary chairman of the Democratic state convention at Madison. County Judge of Lafayette County. In the spring of 1885 the Democrats of Lafayette county, admiring the ability and impressed by the political strength of Darlington's mayor, nominated him for county judge. The county had long been and was supposed still to be overwhelmingly Republican; but ever at that early stage of his political career, Mr. Rose showed wonderful energy and great gifts as a campaigner, and although his Republican opponent was a strong and popular man, "Our David" was triumphantly elected, and by his personal efforts changed one-fifth of the entire vote of the county from the Republican to the Democratic column. Moves to Milwaukee. Ten years of hard work at the Lafayette county bar brought Judge Rose not only an enviable reputation in his profession, but a practice unusually large and lucrative for a country circuit, but his ambition was for and he felt the need of a larger field for the adequate exercise of the ability which he knew he possessed. In 1886, therefore, he moved to the city of Milwaukee, where he still resides, and began at once with characteristic industry, energy and determination, to acquire a foothold in his new field of labor, where he was a comparative stranger. His efforts were crowned with prompt and most gratifying success, and within a remarkably short time he drew to himself a most desirable class of clients, and built up for himself a large, varied and very remunerative practice. His Professional Work As a lawyer Judge Rose has always been known as an indefatigable worker, and his brilliant success has been largely due to the fact that he has never allowed himself to rely solely upon his splendid oratory and great natural gifts, but has always been noted for the thorough and elaborate manner in which he has prepared his cases, giving his personal care and attention to the minutest details. Always a Democrat. Judge Rose has always been a working Democrat and has engaged in active campaigning since he was 17 years old. His purse, his time and his great abilities have always been at his party's disposal. He has never refused party service when called upon, no matter how hopeless the outlook or how great the cost. In 1894 he was candidate for Congress in the Fourth district, which was well known to be hopelessly Republican, but someone had to make the run, and Judge Rose felt it his duty to lead the orlorn hope. He made a gallant fight, it was not elected. Thrice Elected Mayor of Milwaukee. In the spring of 1898, when no Demo- crat had been elected mayor of Milwaukee for six years, and the city was believed to be solidly Republican, Judge Rose was induced to accept the Democratic nomination as chief executive of the city. Many of his warmest friends strongly urged him to decline this nomination, because his chances of election seemed small, and also because his success in the campaign would entail upon him the loss of a law practice, the annual income from which far exceeded the mayor's salary; but he believed that he could win and the prospect of the fight was alluring to him. Practically the entire press of the city opposed and bitterly assailed him. He entered upon the contest with perfect confidence in his success, made a manly and vigorous campaign, which won him the admiration and support of the people, and resulted in his election by a plurality of 8012 votes. In 1900 he was renominated under conditions peculiarly discouraging. The famous street railway franchise fight, in which he had been villified and misrepresented with untiring and industrious malice, had just ended; and his overwhelming defeat was confidently predicted by the Republican managers. On the day of the nomination he said to a friend: "If the election were held tomorrow, I should be defeated by 10,000 majority, but, thank God, I have two weeks in which to meet the people face to face in the open, and I shall win." His campaign was characterized by an expenditure of vigor, energy and vital force far beyond the possibilities of physical or mental endurance possessed by men less favored by nature. He made from five to seven speeches daily, and his election by a plurality of 2456 votes was a magnificent personal triumph. In 1902 the second renomination was unanimously tendered him; he accepted, and though the Republicans made a desperate fight, was elected by a plurality of 8256, the largest he had ever received. His Record as Mavor. Conservative men of all parties conceded and assert that Judge Rose has proved by far the best mayor the city has ever had. He has been unceasingly tireless in his devotion to his official duties, giving to them his entire time at very great pecuniary loss to himself. When he entered upon the campaign of 1898, Judge Rose had a steadily growing law practice worth then not less than $12,000 a year. This practice he deliberately sacrificed to the obligations of his official position. It practically passed from him during his first term as mayor, for the simple but sufficient reason that he found, contrary to his own expectation, that to fully and fatihfully discharge the duties of his trust he must devote his entire time and services to the city, and he resolutely declined all retainers where the service demanded would in the slightest degree interfere with his official labors. The result of this course has been that he is today a poor man, but possesses more devoted friends and has gained a greater popularity and political strenth than any man in the state. Some Results He Has Accomplished as Mayor. When Judge Rose became mayor the charges for city water were made on a sliding scale, running from 15 cents per 100 cubic feet for the first 25,000 fft down to $3 \frac{1}{2} $ cents per 100 feet for much larger quantities. Under this arrangement large consumers, such as factories and breweries, got their water for $3 \frac{1}{2} $ cent per 100 cubic feet, while the small householders were compelled to pay 15 cents. Mayor Rose caused to be established a flat rate of $4 \frac{1}{2} $ cents per 100 feet, thereby reducing the cost to consumers 101 $ cents and increasing the price paid by large corporation, including breweries. 1 cent per 100 feet. When the mayor first advocated this change it was insisted by his opponents that under the proposed rate the water department would no longer be self-sustaining, but the change was made, and the department has, since it went into effect, earned a net annual income of $70,000 to $80,000, after the payment of all expenses this surplus being applied to the reduction of general and direct taxation. Early in his term as mayor, Judge Rose determined that the city needed and ought to have a garbage plant of its own. Garbage had been disposed of by the Wisconsin Rendering Company in an unscientific and unscientific manner. Great opposition was made to the proposed plan, especially by the Rendering Company, which delayed its construction by injunction. But, as usual, the mayor prevailed; the plant was built on Jones island, where it is now in successful operation; all of the garbage of the city is now burned in place of being buried, as under the old system, with the result that the mortality rate of Milwaukee last year was the smallest of any large city in the United states. When the Jones island bridge shall have been completed, the cost of disposing of the garbage will be much less than before the plant was built. The Street Railway Fight. Probably Judge Rose's most prominent characteristics are his unswerving fidelity to any trust, great or small, reposed in him, and his indomitable courage. He is never hasty or impulsive in the conduct or consideration of official affairs, but investigates every important question or proposition with infinite care and labor, seeking light and information from every possible source before he decides upon the course of action demanded by the best interests of the city; but when the stage of investigation and inquiry is past and the time for action has arrived he is determined and resolute, and no obstacles can long impede his progress toward the result he is bent upon accomplishing. While he is very cautious in the formation of his plans, he had no timidity or hesitation about their execution These characteristics so essential to a man occupying high executive position, were never displayed to greater advantage by Mayor Rose than in the famous street railway franchise fight of 1899-1900. A franchise ordinance was pending before the council which, while it was desired by the street railway company, contained many substantial advantages to the city. After a long and thorough investigation of the whole subject, the mayor became convinced that the best interests of the city demanded the passage of this ordinance with sundry important amendments upon which he had insisted. A bitted opposition to the ordinance was systematically worked up by the co-operation of two classes of people, namely those who always believe any grant to a street railway company is iniquitous on general principles, and those whose sole object was to weaken the mayor's influence, over the people and destroy his popularity, which they regarded as an insuperable obstacle in the path of Republican success. The fight was carried on with great bitterness and virulence; every possible plan was tried to intimidate the mayor and aldermen; but the mayor had made up his mind where his duty to the city and its people lay, and the attacks on him had no more effect than the beating of the waves of the Mediterranean upon the rock of Gibraltar. Finally, the opponents of the measure failing to swerve the mayor or the aldermen from the performance of their duty, went into the courts and obtained two injunctions, each restraining the council from passing and the mayor from signing the ordinance. Mayor Rose was the first to take the position that the alleged injunctions were absolutely void for want of jurisdiction, and imposed no obligation of obedience upon either council or mayor, and his attorneys and the attorneys for the aldermen subsequently so advised. The ordinance was passed in the face of the alleged injunctions, and promptly signed by the mayor. Thereupon the mayor, aldermen and city clerk were brought into court upon charges of contempt and found guilty, but upon application to the supreme court, made by direct action of Mayor Rose, for a writ of prohibition forbidding the court below to inflict any punishment for the alleged contempt, the supreme judicial tribunal of the state upheld in every respect the merits of the contention that the injunctions were not merely irregular but absolutely and wholly void, and that the courts could not interfere with the council or the mayor in the discharge of duties of that nature. One of the results obtained by the passage of the ordinance in question was that the fare upon the cars of the street railway company during certain hours of the morning and evening when the laboring classes are going to and returning from work, was reduced from 5 to 4½ cents, with a further provision that at the end of a stated period the same reduction should hold good during all hours of the day. When Judge Rose was first elected mayor, he found the city treasury bankrupt so far as selling bonds or making needed improvements were concerned. Under his able management the finances of the city have been restored to a healthy condition, its present indebtedness being way below the debt limit, and this, notwithstanding the fact that more numerous and greater public improvements have been begun and completed under Mayor Rose's administration than during any like period prior to his first election. Mayor Rose has done far more for the city of Milwaukee than merely performing the duties ordinarily regarded as appertaining to the office of mayor. He loves the city and its people, and he has been zealous and untiring in his efforts to promote its and their welfare. It was largely due to his personal influence that the carnivals held in Milwaukee for several successive summers were so entirely successful, and he has done more than any half dozen mayors who preceded him to bring the manifold attractions and advantages of his city to the attention of the country at large. A Patriotic American Citizen. When the Spanish war broke out Mayor Rose felt that his duty lay in the discharge of his official trusts and in the support of his family, though, as he publicly declared, he held himself in readiness to take the field in case there should be a second call for troops. As mayor of the city and as an individual he was active and very effective in the organization of the relief associations and in raising funds for their use. A friend of his told the mayor of a certain captain of a Milwaukee company ordered to the front who had no horse and no money with which to buy one, and asked him to endorse the captain's note for that purpose. Mayor Rose promptly replied that no man who was willing to give himself to and risk his life in the service of his country should be allowed to go to the war with a note for his mount hanging over him, and he promptly bought a horse, paying for it out of his private purse, and presented it to the captain. A Man of the People. Judge Rose is a man of thoroughly democratic tastes and habits, and his remarkable success in political life has wholly failed to turn his head or mar the simplicity of his character. Personally and officially he is always approachable and always ready to listen to mannerly argument upon any proposition or question before him. He is true, steadfast and loyal friend, and all men whose friendship is worth th HON. JOHN WATTAWA, Candidate for Lieutenant Governor on Democratic Ticket RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE DEM. COUNTY CONV. HELD AT KEWAUNEE, MON., AUG. 25, 1902. "Whereas, his many friends throughout the state have requested Hon. John Wattawa to become a candidate for lieutenant governor on the Democratic state ticket; be it with credit to himself and his state; and "Resolved, that Hon. John be extended the courtesy of delegates to his nominating and that such selection be con- this convention." In pursuance of the forego- tions the following delegates w by Mr. Wattawa: "Resolved, that we, the Democrats of Kewaunee county, in convention assembled, do sincerely and heartily endorse Mr. John Wattawa for lieutenant governor of this state and recommend him to every Democrat as a clean, honorable and conscientious man with every quality to fit him to fill that high position having, a stern and fearless enemy. His official conduct has always been characterized by a high sense of duty and responsibility, perfect indifference as to whether his action would increase or diminish his popularity, and by broad-minded conservatism, and as a result of the manner in which he has discharged his official trust he possessed to an extraordinary degree the confidence and good will of the business men of all parties, as well as the warm admiration and affection of the people. He has always been the friend of organized labor, and in turn possesses the confidence of the laboring men of the city. During his administrations there have been three large strikes, neither one of which was marked by a single act of violence or a single arrest of any striker. He is the strong and outspoken advocate of personal liberty, but the relentless foe of all forms of lawlessness and unbridled license. in person the mayor is a man of magnificent physique, and his erect bearing suggests his independence of character and indifference to his critics. His personality is winning in the extreme, and yet conveys an impression of distinction and intellectual poise and power, which makes him a prominent figure in any gathering of men. He has a magnetic influence over his audiences which has rarely been equaled, and which has contributed largely to his popularity and his political success. But while he may seem to many to be a favorite of fortune in politics, his great and almost unprecedented success has been by no means due to luck. It has had its origin primarily in the fidelity with which he has discharged all the duties entrusted to him, and his courage in protecting the interests committed to his charge, and secondarily, in his wonderful gifts as a campaigner. In his campaigns nothing has been left to chance: he has been no rainbow chaser. Upon the beginning of each campaign he investigates the political situation with the greatest care and lays his plan of battle to meet the peculiar exigencies and conditions of each occasion, and in politics as in law, he relies upon his oratorical power and great personal influence to supplement, not to take the place of, hard labor and careful attention to detail. His Nomination for Governor. Notwithstanding the fact that he had never asked any man to support him in or out of the convention, Judge Rose was the first choice of a large majority of the delegates, being nominated on the first ballot by a vote of 384 out of 627. This result was all the more significant tribute to the strength and popularity of Judge Rose from the fact that the five candidates whose names were placed NUMBER 4. WATTAWA, Governor on Democratic Ticket. with credit to himself and honor to this state; and "Resolved, that Hon. John Wattawa be extended the courtesy of naming the delegates to his nominating convention and that such selection be confirmed by this convention." In pursuance of the foregoing resolutions the following delegates were named by Mr. Wattawa: Ed Decker, Democratic nominee for Congress. M. C. Haney, mayor of Algoma. Josepl. Mahlberg, chairman town of West Kewaunee. John M. Borgman, chairman county board. M. J. Rice, merchant. William Rogers, member of Assembly. before the convention for the same nomination were all gentlemen of the highest character, great ability, and possessing the esteem and regard of all who knew them. Judge Rose's public career and his record as a champion of the people's rights have so endeared him to the people of the entire state that his nomination was greeted with wild enthusiasm. That this action of the convention was satisfactory to all was evidenced by the fact that the most ardent friends and supporters of each of the otier candidates and each of the candidates themselves assured Judge Rose and his friends of their active and energetic support throughout the ensuing campaign. Judge Rose's record as the thrice-elected mayor of a city whose population constitutes one-seventh of the entire population of the state, is an open book, and it is because of that record and of his known and tried fitness for high official position that his friends confidently predict his triumphant election by a large plurality on the 4th day of November next. HUGH RYAN. Milwaukee, Wis. Mr. Bryan appears to have gotten his idea of the Democratic party's position on the primary election question from reading the Milwaukee Free Press. The Democratic platform does not denounce the principle of direct nominations, but protests that the measure known as the Stevens bill, and which proposed to abolish all political conventions and authorize the candidates to make their own platforms, was un-American and un-Democratic. Which is quite different. Now is the time for every good Democrat to take a day off and labor with his neighbor in the interest of honest taxation and common-sense methods in government. The Democratic party stands for lower taxes as well as equal taxes. What good does it do to "equalize" taxation, if the taxes are made higher? A tariff commission, in the course of the next four or five years, might recommend some scientific change in the tariff, but before that time, unless something is done to relieve the people, the trusts will have about everything in sight. very tight There will be no dodging of taxes by corporations under the Democratic plan of uniform taxation—nor will there be a tax issue. The Democratic party proposes to settle the question once for all, and with justice to all. It seems that the foreigner is not paying for coal tax. A SOFT COAL MERGER. Combination of Bituminous Con- cerns. END TO TRADE RIVALRY Indications that urkiadite Operators are Not Acting in Good Faith in Arbitration Business. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 29.—Plans are be- ing laid for the merging of the Pittsburg Coal Company and the Monongahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke Com- pany, with their combined autorized capi- talization of $110,000,000 and assets of $120,088,581. Consolidation of these in- terests will launch by far the. strongest bituminous concern in the world. The combined coal output of the two companies is close to 30,000,000 tons a pe The pian is to make the Pitts- urg company lessee and the purpose tu economize operations. Successful termi- nation’ of the deal will end the trade rivalry which has existed between he two companies. No New Stock to be Issued. The tentative plan is to merge the two companies and at the same tme eliminate one of the seeminly fundamental princi- ples of such moves, which is the issuance of a new and increased lot of watered stock to constituents. While the Pitts- burg company wil] probably become the Investor interest, there is no present pur- pose to issue new stock of the Pittsburg company to take over that of the River oa, aoe like a stock-water- ing deal is to eliminated. The total assets of the Pittsburg com- pany are figured at $76,276,769 and those of the River company at $43,811,812. SUSPICIOUS OF OPERATORS. Some of Them May Not be Btund by the Arbitration Findings. Washington, D. C., Oct. 29.—Peopie who have carefully studied the course of the anthracite coal operators fear that the arbitration craft may land on the rocks before the end of its journey. Many of the operators have not been made parties to the proceedings up to the present time and they may not con- sider themselves bound by the hndings of the commission, and skeptics declare that there is a basis for a large share of disappointment and cause for a contro- versy later on. The most significant fact is the objec- tion of E. B. Thomas of the Erie to the use of the word “arbitration,” instead of “investigation.” If this view were to pre- vail it would entirely nullify the purposes of the commission. No idea is entertained that the commission will sanction it, be- cause it is considered that the language of the President on this subject is be- yond mere cavil. The miners called the strike off as a result of an understand- ing that their difficulties were to be ar- bitrated and that the pe to the arbi- tration were to abide by its results. To Eliminate Mitchell. The third suggestion, looked upon as having within it possible seeds of great dissension, is that made by Mr. Trues- dale of the Delaware & Lackawanna Railroad Company, employing about 12,- 000 men and boys. Mr. Truesdale want- ed his employes, union and nonunion, to appoint a committee to come before the commission, state their ances and er his employes. If sueh a com- mittee were appointed without Mr. Mitchell as a member of it it would eliminate him from all consideration in matters concerning that particular com- pany. On being asked what would be done if either of the parties to the controversy should refuse to abide by the decision of the commission, one of the board made this reply: “I do not regard that as a possibility. ‘We see no reason to anticipate anything of the sort. I do not believe that either side could face the force of public opin- jon’ by rejecting the conclusions which they have agreed in advance to accept. VISIT COAL FIELDS. Members of Coal Strike. Commission Start for Pennsylvania. Washington, D. C., Oct. 20.—The ma- jority of the members of the anthracite coal strike commission left here at 3 o’clock this afternoon over the Baltimore & Ohio railroad for Seranton, -Pa., where they will meet tomorrow morning to be- gin their investigation of the ‘conditions in the mining region. The other mem- bers of the commission are also expected to reach Scranton by tomorrow morning. Judge Gray, the chairman, is in Wilming- ton, Del., and expects to board the train on its arrival there late this afternoon. Messrs. Watkins and Parker are in New York city and have been officially notified of the departure of the others from here. The commission will spend tomorrow at Scranton, arranging the details of the trip through the coal fields. The hear- ings will not begin until the formal claims of the miners and the answer of the operators have been filed. The first place to be visited by the comwission after leaving Scranton prob- ably will be Walkesbarre. The tour of the commission through the coal fields in advance of the hearings will be of a pre- liminary character, as the same points fn all probability will be visited later for the pupose of taking the testimony of the mine bosses, forémen and the miners themselves MINERS TAKE DAY OFF. Celebrate Anniversary of Former Strike —Do Honor to Mitchell. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 29.—Miteheli day was celebrated by all the union min- ers in the anthracite region today. There was a general suspension of work. A few washeries were working, but their output of coal was very,small. President Mitchell arrived from New York today. He will go to Scranton to attend the first session of the arbitration commission. There were demonstrations in many of the ‘nearby towns today and after the paren the people flocked to Wilkesbarre n large numbers to see the bie parade, Shamokin, Pa., Oct. 29.—Mitchell day was observed here today. Seven thou- sand United Mine Workers, headed by the Tenth Regiment Band and _ troops, paraded the streets, after which the mine workers were addressed by several labor leaders. No collieries were in operation and all business was ogencrally sus- pended. SOLDIERS ARE STONED. Troops Ordered to Fire, but Order was Countermanded. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 29.—A scene de- nounced. by bystanders as contemptible and outrageons marked the return of the soldiers of the Fourteenth Regiment from the anthracite region today. While passing down Fifth avenue they were assailed with chunks of concrete. blocks of weod as large as bricks, and even tools, thrown from the twenty-first floor of the new Farmers’ Deposit Bank build- ing, a distance of 275 feet, by workmen. The act was evidently premeditated, for the workmen had collected enough missiles to*be able to keep up the as- sault the whole time the regiment was passing. That no one was seriously hurt is remarkable. ‘When the soldiers realized that the missiles were aimed at them a line was quickly formed on the opposite pave- ment, an officer gave the command to load, but the commanding officer counter- manded the order and no shots were fired. ee DYNAMITE A SAFE. Lee Masked Men Secure $4000 from the Ex- change National Bank of Gardner, Ill. Gardner, Ill., Oct. 29.--Six men blew open the vault of a bank here early this morning and took several thousand dol- lars. They seized Marshal Edmondson at the engine house, tied him with ropes, took him to the bank and sat him in a chair. The marshal is the only police- man. The rest of the inhabitants were asleep. The vault was blown open with ‘dynamite and the inside of the bank wrecked. ‘The robbers are supposed to have secured between $3000 and $4000, though the amount is not known. After leaving the bank they foe the marshal to ‘the school house, ti him to a chair and: put a rope*around ‘his ‘neck. The chair was placed at the head of a ainien ay. so that if he struggled to-re- lease himself he would fall down stairs and hang himself. The robbers took a train which left at 4:40 for Chicago. Took All but 3o Cents. Des Moines, Ia., Oct. 29.—One suspect was arrested at Pella last night in con- nection with the Prairie City bank rob- vay and is being held to await identifi- cation. As Night Watchman Erskine and Den- tist Gibford-watched the men for three hours during the robbery it is believed identification will be possible, although the men were masked. It has developed that there were five of the bandits, two of whom engaged in dynamiting the safe, and that it required eight shots before the safe was finally opened. The loss has been definitely placed at $4500. They took all the cash but 30 cents. It is be- lieved that the bandits boarded a Rock Island train at Fairmount and went sontheast. It is feared the robbers have escaped. Private Bank Robbed. Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 29.—The vault of the private bank of Charles K, Knapp at Sodus was broken into with dynamite by burglars early today and a sum _be- lieved to be $5000 was secured. The owner of the bank refuses to say how rauch was stolen, Not only the vault bot also the bank building was wrecked by the force of the explosion. Stolen Money Recovered. Miles City, Mént:, Oct. 29-*Warden MeTague of the state penitentiary and Fred Morrow, a convict, were here yes- terday and, following Morrow’s direc- tions, recovered $4500 in money which Morrow stole on May 29, 1900, from the Northern Pacific Bape Company and concealed near the Tongue river bridge. Burglars Frightened Away. Sioux City, Ia., Oct. 29.—Robbers wrecked the safe in the Bank of Buffalo County, at Gann Valley, S. D., this morning, but fled without securing any money. It is supposed they were alarmed bv the ernlosion. GOES BAIL FOR LOVER. Chicago Woman Charges Harry Scott Sears of Berlin, Wis., with Forgery. Chicago, Ill, Oct. 29.—[Special.]— Amanda C. Davidson of Ravenswood caused the arrest of Harry Scott Sears, her sweetheart, Monday on a charge of forgery. Then she repented and signed his bond. Young Sears is a son of H. D. Sears, a tanner of Berlin, Wis. He signed his father’s name to a check for $75, which Miss Davidson cashed for him, in payment of a loan. Sears came to Chicago to visit his brother, H. H. Sears, a short time ago and was introduced to Miss Davidson, whose confidence and affection he soon won, Then he borrowed the money from her. ‘The check was protested three times. Meantime Miss Davidson had written to the young man’s mother, say- ing that she was practically engaged to Harry Sears, and asking the mother to make the check right. Mrs. Sears wrote back that her hus- band could not be held responsible for the debts of his son and asked Miss Da- vidson to tell Harry to come home. ‘The young woman then began prosecution. When she saw Sears taken into cus- tody by the constable she relented and spent several hours of the early evening trying to find a justice before whom she could sign the young man’s bond. At last Justice Hamburgher was found at a political meeting and the bond was signed. The case is set before Justice Hurley for November 6.

Houghton, Mich., Oct. 29.—[ Special. ]— An accidental shooting in which the vic- tim was mistaken fpr a deer and was killed nearly had a tragic sequel, it is al- leged. Later in the day upon which John L. Krantz, a young man who resided near Laird, was killed by William Me- Kernan, the father of the victim was traveling from Keweenaw bay on the South Shore railroad. At Allston station McKernan boarded the train, and, see- ing the elder Krantz, he offered to shake hands. The father of the victim drew a revolver, it is alleged, and threatened to shoot the man who had accidentally killed his son. Prompt intereference by the trainmen saved McKernan fron in- jury. ele eae ea TWO ACRES OF GROUND CAVED IN. Valuable Mining Property in Joplin, Mo., Takes’ Sudden Drop.

Winnepeg, Man., Oct. 29.—With gaunt faces and eyes lifted heavenward an ar- my of fanatics chanting weird religious hymns, entered Yorkton, Assinaboia, fill- ae inhabitants with fear and pity. The pilgrims form part of the colony of Doukhobers or Russian zealots, who located in the Canadian Northwest two years ago, which has gone on the march leaving crops half harvested and desert- ing their horses and cattle. ixteen hundred men, women and chil- dren entered Yorkton carrying their in- fants and sick on stretchers. The body marched to the immigration sheds, where agents of the government met and interviewed them. Through in- a the Doukhobers told the offi- cials they did not know where they were going or what they expected to do, their only mission was to convert people and find “Jesus.” The male members of the party refused proffered shelter for the women and chil- dren and the sick, but after much per suasion were induced to leave the weaker ones behind while they continued their march soeone the city. The men and women are living on weeds and raw _ po- tatoes and looked emaciated after their long tramp from the villages. - Four hundred more Doukhobers are “now exiles out of the town and 600 more are leaving their villages. One child died while on the march. When word was brought in of their Posaity a meeting of the council was astily called and several special con- stables were sworn in, Some apprehen- sion is felt that they will be driven to acts ef violence by sheer necessity.

C., Oct. 28.—Colom! has responded to the proposition made the state department for the negotiativ.. a cynal treaty on the lines. of the Spooner act. The reply was presented to the state department by Mr. Herran, sec- retary of the Colombian legation. Lhe Colombian government is dissatis- fied with ‘the‘payment to be made by the United States under the terms of the pro- tocol, which it is proposed to use as the basis for the treaty. ‘This sum is $7.000,- 000. Colombia wants at least $10,000,000. In addition the original proposal looked to a wait for fourteen years before be- ginning the payment of annual rental, the amount of which was to be fixed then by mutual agreement, Colombia asks tlic United States to agree at once on a lump yearly payment of $600,000, which will considerably increase the immediate cost of the enterprise. Proposes a Long Lease. The Colombian government clings to its contention that it has no constitutional authority to alienate any Colombia terri- tory and reiterates that the best it can do to meet the language of the Spooner act, which looks to a perpetual control by the United States over the canal strip, is to make a 100-year lease with a distinct sipolaiod that the same shall be renew- able by the United States at the expira- tion of the first Cotas One obstacle which, it is believed, will ‘interfere somewhat with the immediate resumption of negotiations of the treaty is the feeling aroused in Colombia by the actions of American naval officers during the revolutionary movements there. American Interference Resented. These are declared to have been bitterly resented in Bogota, where it was felt the American officers had exceeded their au- thority in interfering with the transpor- tation of Colombian soldiers across the isthmus railroad—a seo the Colombian officials have asserted is guaranteed them by treaty. The question at issue touches the question of sovereignty and has an important bearing on the pending sub- aa ABJURE THE POPE. Catholic Church of the Philippines is Formally Inaugurated at Manila. Manila, Oct. 28.—The Catholic Church of the Philippines was inaugurated here yesterday. Mass was celebrated and Bishop Aglipay, the leader of the move- ment, delivered an address, in which he renounced allegiance to the papal au- thority. He said the new church would maintain practically all the religious forms of the Roman Catholic Church. Aguinaldo has been named as a lay official of the church of the pe ee He did not attend the isaayare! cere- mony on account of illness, but sent a létter approving the matter. ‘The first announcement of the dissent- ing of the church was given in a dis- patch dated August 10. The organizers of the movement were then said to be Isabelo de los Reyes, a labor leader, and Pasqual Poblete, formerly a member of Katipunan secret society. I ather Agli- pay, a native priest who has been ex- communicated by the Roman Catholic Church, was appointed bishop of the new church. Fourteen junior bishops and a large lay council were also named. The eounci] included Felipe Buencamino, one of the leaders of the Federal party, who was recently in the United States.. In Ome quarters in Manila, this new move- ment is considered serious. It is thought that it will further upset the political situation and possibly create a clash between the regular Catholics and the dissenters. COLLEGE BOYS ON STRIKE.

MUST BE ENJOINED. Scheme of Steel Corporation to Retire Preferted Stock and Issue Bonds Instead. Newark, N. J., Oct. 29.—Vice Cancel- lor Emery today filed his decision in the suit of J. Aspinwall Hodge. and others to prevent the United States Steel Corpora- tion from retiring $200,000,000 of pre- ferred stock and issuing $250,000,000 in bonds. In his decision the vice chan-~ cellor says: i 5 “I will advise that a preliminary injunc- tion be granted restraining the issue of bonds under the resolution upon the terms that if the defendant desires to ‘appeal, the complainant shall consent that the cause be set down for hearing at the next term of the court of errors and appeals.” The resolution referred to by the vice ehancellor was adoptel by the directors of the United States Steel Carporation and ordered the retirement of the pre- ferred stock. Vice Chancellor Emery decides that the meeting of the directors at which the resolution was adopted was prematurély called and that the retire- ment of the stock under the resolution must be therefore enjoined. The de- cision of the vice chancellor agrees with the decision of the court of errors and appeals in the Berger case on all other points. Preparing a S‘ipulation.

A DIGNIFIED DISCUSSION. National Committeeman Ryan Speaks on State and National Issues. La Follette's Re-election Would be a Calamity--His Administration Has Fomented Confusion. One of the most thought exciting speeches of the campaign in Wisconsin was delivered at Burlington Tuesday evening by Timothy E. Ryan, national committeeman from Wisconsin, in support of the state ticket. It was an intelligent discussion and presented national and state issues squarely, honestly and forcibly. The following are a few of the remarks, taken at random from the speech of Mr. Ryan, and serve to indicate its general character as one of the strongest vote makers of the campaign: "The cardinal principle of Democracy is well understood by every student of Democratic principles to be 'equal rights to all and special privileges to none.'" * * * "The history of the Republican party proves that that party practices 'equal rights to some and special privileges to many.'" ☆ ☆ ☆ "The Democrats early in the history of the tariff question argued that a high protective tariff would result in breeding and creating trusts and monopolies that would become so gigantic as to be a menace to the country." * * * "If he (La Follette) had the ability to lead men by appealing to their judgment, instead of trying to drive them to do just as he wanted them to do, regardless of how they themselves felt upon the questions, I believe a large portion of the friction that existed in the last Legislature could have been avoided." * * * "The Democratic party takes the position that no mercy nor consideration should be shown to any combination of capital that takes advantage of the protective tariff to mulct American consumers." * * * "We have had a succession of five or six good crops in our great grain-growing sections and a like number of crop failures in many foreign countries. * * * Good crops, or bad crops, are not the result of a high tariff." ```markdown ``` "The theory of primary election (Gov. La Follette's pet scheme) can be said with perhaps some propriety to be Democratic, because it is claimed that it means the placing of the power of government in the hands of the people." * * * "I can well conceive how a primary election experiment might be tried in municipal and county affairs; but when you undertake to extend beyond that." 非 常 乐 "I am satisfied that a party once placed in power under a general primary election, such as the Stevens bill contemplated, never could be dethroned afterward." 宋 亦 亦 "When Gov. La Follette advised and directed the doubling of the assessed valuation of all the real estate of the individual I cannot understand that to be any advancement towards equal and just taxation." "Why should our manufacturers be aided by our laws to charge our citizens more for the same goods than they do to foreigners." "Examination of the expenditures made by the different departments of the state it will be found that our expense account, in almost every direction, is constantly increasing. Our taxes are growing greater all the time." 承承承 "For the business interests of this great commonwealth a change in the management of state affairs should be made." The Tariff Question. Of the tariff Mr. Ryan said: Of the tariff Mr. Ryan said: The Republican party has just as persistently advocated a high protective tariff, regardless of the amount of revenue derived from the same, under many a pretext. First it was said by protectionists that a protective tariff was necessary to protect infant industries from competition with foreign countries. When that argument failed to convince they justified a high protective tariff under the excuse of protecting the American laborer from the pauper labor of Europe. We can all remember with what confidence, as well as audacity, we were told that it could make no difference to the American people how high a tariff was established by this country, because the foreigner paid the tax and not the American. These questions have been so thoroughly threshed over in the past quarter of a century by both parties that it seems almost unnecessary to enter into any lengthy discussion of them at this time. The tariff question is of so much importance, however, that you will pardon me if I call your attention to some facts connected with it that you have heard over and over again in different campaigns. The Democrats early in the history of the tariff question argued that a high protective tariff would result in breeding and creating trusts and monopolies that would become so gigantic as to be a menace to the country. These infant industries, which the Republican protectionists claim to be protecting, have now grown so strong as to invade the world, and are at present looking to attain commercial supremacy. Do not the American people ask themselves why they alone should be unfavored by world competition? The study of the manner in which these infant industries protected for so many years by the tariff laws of this country show their gratitude to their protector is quite interesting. I cannot take the time to call your attention to the difference between the home price of many of the articles manufactured by these so-called infant industries as compared with the export price; I will, however, call attention to a few of the articles which are sold abroad at a greatly reduced price compared to what they are sold for to the consumer at home. consisting of numerous agricultural implements and tools, of kitchen utensils and household goods, carpenter tools, etc. It will be seen that the domestic prices usually exceed the foreign prices by from 10 to 25 per cent., and as high as 100 per cent. in some cases. Cultivators selling at home for $11, sell abroad for $8.40. Citizens Should be First. Why should our manufacturers be aided by our laws to charge our citizens more for the same goods than they do to foreigners? Upon this question let me give you some admissions from government publications in 1900. We find in a government publication the report of the bureau of statistics, commerce and finance, for 1900, undoubted Republican auspices, a large number of statements and confessions. We are informed, for instance, that the progress of work on shipbuilding in the United States has been retarded because makers of steel materials required a higher price from the American consumers than from the foreign consumers for substantially similar products. Also in addition to this that American export plate makers are interested in preventing the establishing of plate manufactories among their customer nations abroad and to that end bid low enough in foreign markets to discourage foreign nations from entering the field for producing their own plate at home. The same authority contends that this policy is short sighted and shows how it has resulted in curtailing the home demand. Up to April, 1900, it had resulted in a very positive shrinkage in domestic consumption. Farmers had ceased to purchase wire for fences; retail dealers had complained for months on account of the diminished sale of wire and nails; jobbers had gotten in the way of doing a hand to mouth business on prices that had advanced from $1.35 to $3.20 in the course of a year. Farmer's Wife Handicapped. The wife of the American farmer is compelled to use a sewing machine in her home, produced by an American factory, which costs nearly twice as much as the same machine sold the housewife of Mexico or South America. The American farmer must pay more for the plow manufactured in his own country, out of raw material furnished by his own country, than the Russian peasant has to pay for the same plow. We now have combinations covering almost everything from sugar and lead to brooms, soap and coffins. No Mercy to Corporations. The Democratic party takes the position that no mercy nor consideration should be shown to any combination of capital that takes advantage of the protective tariff to mulct American consumers. What is imperatively required is a revision of the tariff, such as will modify the rates and place upon the free list all foreign goods that are the subject of domestic monopoly. The much talked of trust question is one of great importance to the American people. How to regulate and how to control the great combinations known as trusts is the topic of the hour. The Democratic party does not offer tariff reform as a complete remedy for this troublesome question. We do claim, however, that if all trust-made articles were placed upon the free list it would destroy a great advantage that the trusts have over the small competitor and the consumer. Republicans Not in Earnest. It is amusing to hear the charge made by Republicans in high station that the Republican party has a much better record on the trust question than the Democratic party, and the only explanation attempted to be made of that charge is that it is claimed that in the second last Congress it was proposed by the Republican party to submit an amendment to the federal constitution which would authorize the federal government to control the trusts, and that by Democratic votes it was defeated. The well-known fact of the matter is that the Republican party as a makeshift and as a campaign dodge, during the last days of that Congress, did submit such a proposition, when they knew full well that the resolution would die a natural death, and that if it did not, it would take from three to four years before it could be ratified by the states in the manner provided by law. They forget to state that during the last session of Congress the Republicans had an overwhelming majority in both the House and the Senate, and that not one step was taken by said Congress towards passing legislation of any kind or description in regard to regulating, controlling or in any way interfering with the trusts. When the Republican party and a Republican President announce their opposition to the trusts, as a proof of their sincerity, ask them if they are willing to stand for legislation placing all articles selling abroad cheaper than at home, upon the free list, and request a promise that a bill will be reported from the ways and means committee of the next national Congress to this effect. Laboring Man Not to Suffer. A very much favored argument used by protectionists against a modification of the tariff is the one that the laboring man would suffer by a reduction of wages which would necessarily follow any interference with the tariff. It would seem as if this argument, which has been so long and often used, would by this time be quite thoroughly understood. Who are the parties that are so much interested in the laboring man? Are they not the "trust barons" who have grown immensely wealthy under the protective system, who, during the discussion of this question in each campaign shed crocodile tears for the laboring man? I have no doubt but what the "coal barons" who are involved in the present unfortunate so-called strike, are afraid to have the tariff modified for fear the laboring man would suffer by any interference! Labor Has Competition. The laboring man now thoroughly understands that his labor, which is the only capital that he has and the only article that he has to sell upon the market of the world, is in direct competition with the labor of the world and has no direct protection under any tariff system ever adopted, and the very men who are crying in the interests of the laboring man are very ready to import the cheapest kind of pauper labor from abroad, land it in this country and put it in direct competition with American labor. Farmers Have Been Misled. The farmers have long been misled, at least many of them, upon the question of high protective tariff. I believe they now understand that the produce of their farms is sold at market prices fixed in the competitive market of the world, and that the proceeds from the sale of their produce they are compelled—under the protective tariff system—to expend in the dearest market in the world, so it can justly be claimed that farmers of this country sell their produce in the cheapest market of the world and take the proceeds therefrom and purchase their necessities in the dearest market of the world. It is the boast of Americans that we are now able to undersell the people of every other nation in the markets of the world; if that is true, it cannot be said that any other nation can undersell us. As to State Issues. Upon state issues Mr. Ryan said: Upon state issues the Democratic party has adopted a platform which clearly defines its position upon the important questions before the people of the state of Wisconsin. Tells of Rose's Record. The candidates of the party for the different state officers are all well-known citizens of the state of Wisconsin, thoroughly equipped and competent to perform the duties of the respective offices for which they were placed in nomination. The standard bearer of the party, Mayor D. S. Rose of the city of Milwaukee, has been elected, three times in succession, as mayor of the metropolis of this state, having been elected for the third time last spring by a larger majority than he received in the two preceding elections. This certainly speaks well for Mayor Rose and justifies the claim that having acted as mayor of the city of Milwaukee for four and a half years, up to the present time, and conducted the affairs of that great metropolis to the satisfaction of the large business interests of that city, that his experience as an executive officer has equipped him so that he will make a splendid governor for our commonwealth. The campaign in this state, according to Gov. La Follette, is to be fought out upon two principal issues: First, the question which has been developed and brought forward through the partisanship of Gov. La Follette, known as the primary election law. Second, the question of taxation in its different phases. People Tired of Party Fight. For the past five or six years Gov. La Follette has been waging war against a large element of his own party, accusing that element (known as the Stalwart element) of everything that is bad and crediting them with nothing that is good. On the other hand, the so-called Stalwart wing of the Republican party has been making all kinds of accusations against the La Follette wing of the party (known as the Half-Breeds), and so it has gone on until I am satisfied that I express the sentiment of the business interests of this state when I say that the people have got tired of this kind of political "clap-trap" and that they propose to put an end to it at the coming election. If this kind of partisan warfare is permitted to go on it cannot help but disburb our business interests and interfere with the progress and happiness of the people of this state. "Turn Out the Fighters." I appeal to the great business interests of Wisconsin, and ask as a business proposition that if the state of Wisconsin was a business corporation, and each voter was a stockholder in said corporation, and it had such a board of directors as the last Legislature of the state of Wisconsin proved to be, and it became necessary at this time to act upon the question of either choosing a new board of directors entirely by the stockholders, or the retention of the same board of directors which accomplished nothing but kept up a general warfare during its term, would you not, as business men, say. "We will turn out this old belligerent board of directors and elect a new set of men to take charge and manage the affairs of the corporation." I firmly believe that any man interested in a corporation of that character would, as a business proposition, refuse to keep in control of the affairs of the corporation a set of men as board of directors who could not agree upon anything and seemed to be satisfied with occupying their time in finding fault and making faces at each other. It would therefore seem that the conduct of the Republican party for the past four or five years in the state of Wisconsin has been such that it becomes the duty of the people of this state, who are more or less independent on political questions, to take a positive stand and see that men are placed in control of the affairs of this state who are willing to work harmoniously, and try to accomplish some good. All Want Equal Taxation. The question of equal taxation is one to which a great deal of attention is being paid in this campaign. It is highly proper that this troublesome question should receive the consideration of every citizen who is interested in the welfare of the state of Wisconsin. It is not a new question. It is as old as our republic. How to bring about a system of equal and just taxation has been discussed for years and years. Very impressive appeals are being made by Gov. La Follette to the people of this state to stand firmly for equal and just taxation. Ah, but he says that the "public service corporations" of the state of Wisconsin have such a control and influence over the people of this state that it is impossible to establish a system of equal and just taxation! I cannot believe that the public service corporations can exercise such a control as that over our citizenship or over the citizens that we elect to our Legislature. No Remedy Provided. The trouble has been that Gov. La Follette nor any other man, as yet, has not presented for the consideration of the people any measure which it can be said will establish absolute, equal and just taxation. If the railroad companies of the state of Wisconsin are not paying their just share of taxation we all say they should be made to do so; that same rule should also be applied to the individual. But when Gov. La Follette advised and directed the doubling of the assessed valuation of all the real estate of the individual I cannot understand that to be any advancement towards equal and just taxation. I am sure that upon this question there ought to be no necessity for exciting such feeling as Gov. La Follette seems to have, judging from the expressions used in his veto messages addressed to the last Legislature, and also in the speeches that he has already made in this campaign. A calm, cool, dispassionate discussion of this question, along business lines, or a consideration of it in the same manner that business men would consider the important questions concerning their business affairs, could be much more advisable than the appeals that are being made to the people intended to excite prejudice against railroads and corporations. We must not forget that the railroad systems of this state are an important part of our business interests and that a large amount of the resources of this commonwealth are managed by corporations. We cannot afford to establish a warfare between the people and railroad companies without some good reason therefor. Gov. La Follette's administration seems to have been unfortunately marked with a lack of business ability and conspicuous for exciting turmoil, trouble and dissensions among the people as well as among men occupying important political positions in the state. I believe the candidates on the Democratic ticket to be natural leaders of men, tactful, resourceful men, who are willing to recognize the judgment of other men and who will not attempt to place their own judgment above all others and insist that their will must rule. For that reason I believe it will be for the best interests of the state of Wisconsin that the Democratic party should be successful in this campaign. I do not desire to be understood as claiming that any party should win unless it deserves to win, and no party should be retained in power unless by its action it deserves to be retained. Governor Open to Many Charges. Government Open to many charges. There is the question of the appointment of supervisors of assessment in every county which necessitates a large expense with doubtful returns therefor. There is the new policy adopted by Gov. La Follette of the taxation of mortgages. A veto of what was known as the Frost bill introduced in the last Legislature on the grounds, as claimed by Gov. La Follette, that it was not constitutional. The shameful and scandalous dealing with book companies as to contributions to campaign fund in this state; all of which has been fully explained through the press. It is to be regretted that the chief executive of this state should leave himself open to have such charges brought against him. We must remember, too, that this charge was not brought against him by Democrats or by that wing of his party which is opposed to him, known as the "Stalwart." It is a charge made by some of his stanchest supporters, eminent Republicans, whose honor and reputation has never been questioned, and whose services to the state in the past are deserving of favorable mention. For the interest of the state of Wisconsin any impartial and unbiased man cannot help but arrive at the conclusion that the ticket nominated by the Republican party in this election should be defeated, and for the business interests of this great commonwealth a change in the management of state affairs should be made. PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPT. Iowa Man Has Formal Acceptance of Lincoln's Second Election. Abraham Lincoln was chosen to his second term as President of the United States in November, 1864. After the official canvass of the votes a committee of the two houses of Congress was appointed to notify him of his election. The committee consisted of Lyman Trumbull of Illinois on the part of the Senate and Messrs. James F. Wilson of Iowa and John F. Dawson of Pennsylvania on the part of the House. It will be remembered that Mr. Wilson was at that time a member of the House of Representatives. Waiting upon him at the executive mansion, the committee, by its chairman, notified him of his election to a second term. Mr. Lincoln, in anticipation of this official visit, had his acceptance, written by his own hand, and filling a little more than half a page of old-fashioned letter paper, ready for the occasion. He read as follows: "Having served four years in the depths of a great, and yet unended, national peril I can view this call to a second term in no wise more flattering to myself than as an expression of the public judgment that I may better finish a difficult work, in which I have labored from the first, than could anyone less severely schooled to the task. In this view, and with assured reliance on that Almighty Ruler who has so graciously sustained us thus far, and with increased gratitude to the generous people for their continued confidence I accept the renewed trust, with its yet onerous and perplexing duties and responsibilities." When the official ceremony was over Mr. Wilson said: "With your permission, Mr. President, I would be glad to keep that page of manuscript." "You are very welcome to it," replied Mr. Lincoln, handing it to Mr. Wilson. This paper, which was Mr. Lincoln's formal and official acceptance of his second term as President of the United States was retained by Senator Wilson until his death. It has since remained in the possession of his family. Just now they have turned it over to Mr. Charles Aldrich, by whom it has been placed in his great autograph and photograph collection in the historical department of Iowa. While it is not signed it is yet a manuscript of great value. It would command a price in New York city or London which would have to be expressed in three figures. It is a precious memorial of the great martyr President and of James F. Wilson of Iowa. We may add that the page upon which it is written also contains seven lines, which are in the handwriting of Mr. Wilson, explanatory of the manuscript.—Des Moines (Ia.) Register and Leader. A German Motor Novelty. A motor-wagon of a decidedly novel character is being experimented with, among others, by the army service corps, with a view to its adaptability for a transport of military stores, etc. It is known as a Meller wagon, and is of German make. The principle is that it lays down a line of rails to travel over as it goes along. Four steel double-flanged wheels about 2 feet in diameter carry the wagon, and these rest inside 7 feet circular rails, the outside surfaces of which are broad and flat. The rails are kept in position at the sides of the wagon by two smaller flanged guide wheels across its diameter, by means of which the steering is done. As the wagon is driven along the rails revolve, thus presenting a uniform level surface for the wagon to travel over. A speed of eight miles an hour can be attained drawing a fairly heavy trailer, the engines being 28-horsepower. Three large circular rails at each side of the wagon give it the appearance of having four large wheels without spokes or axles.—London Telegraph. Must Move a Whole Town. Within a few weeks the original town of Delta, Idaho, one of the oldest mining camps in the Coeur d'Alenes, will be no more. Every building in the town has to be torn down, burned, or moved away. The townsite has been purchased by the Beaver Creek Gold Mining Company, which will soon start to dredge that portion of the creek, and it has issued an order that every lot must be vacated. The work of removing the town already has begun. Some of the buildings have been burned. Nearly all the buildings were of high value at the time of the boom back in the '80s, but now most of them are worth but little. Some houses have been erected recently, and these will likewise have to be moved. MRS. STANTON IS DEAD. New York, Oct. 27.—Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the well-known woman suffragist, died yesterday at her home in West Ninety-fourth street in this city. Old age was given as the cause of death. She was conscious almost to the last. About a week ago Mrs. Stanton began to fail rapidly. This became more noticeable last week, and then it was known to the family that her death was only a question of days or hours. The children with Mrs. Stanton when she died were Mrs. M. F. Lawrence and Mrs. Stanton Blatch of New York, Henry and Robert L. of New York, lawyers; C. de Prins ELIZABETH CADY STANTON. Theodore of Paris, and G. Smith, a real estate broker at Warden Cliffe, L. I. The funeral will be held on Wednesday. The interment will be in Woodlawn cemetery. Story of Notable Career. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who signed the first call for a woman's rights convention in the United States, was born in Johnstown, N. Y., on November 12, 1815. She was the daughter of Judge Daniel Cady and Margaret Livingston Cady, both persons of unusual education and refinement. In her youth Elizabeth Cady was much at her father's law office and from what she learned there she became impressed with the injustice and inequality of the laws. It is related of her that this idea became so fixed in her mind that she decided to cut the objectionable laws out of the books, hoping by that means to abolish them. She pursued her studies zealously, mastering Greek and Latin, and was deeply distressed at being refused admission to Union College with her brother because she was a girl, although it was admitted that her mental attainments were equal to the requirements. Opponent of Slavery. In 1839 she met Henry Brewster Stanton, an anti-slavery orator of some note, and in 1840 they were married. Immediately after their wedding they went to London, where the international anti-slavery convention was to be held. Mrs. Stanton was one of the delegates from America, but was denied participation in the proceedings because she was a woman. While in London she met Lucretia Mott, and with her signed the first call for a women's rights convention. It was in Seneca Falls, on the 19th and 20th of July, 1848, in the Wesleyan chapel that the first women's rights convention was held. Mrs. Stanton was the head of the movement at that time, and beside caring for the delegates wrote the declaration of aims which became the subject of ridicule and jest throughout the United States. Father Thought Her Crazy. When Mrs. Stanton's father, Judge Cady, heard of her resolution, "That it is the duty of the women of this country to secure to themselves their sacred rights to the elective franchise," he was impressed with the idea that her mind had become deranged and hastened from Johnstown and Seneca Falls to care for her. He tried to reason with her on the elective franchise question, but failed to move her from her purpose. From 1867 to 1874 she went from state to state campaigning for woman's suffrage and became associated with numerous organizations having that end in view. She became a candidate for Congress from the Eighth New York district, having the support of the New York Herald. She became associated in the management of the revolution with Susan B. Anthony and was the joint author in many books bearing on woman's suffrage. She had five sons and two daughters, all of whom are living and successful in life. EMPEROR IN RUNAWAY. Horses Became Unmanageable and Francis Joseph of Austria Jumps from His Carriage. Vienna, Oct. 27.—While Emperor Francis Joseph was driving from his country place at Schoenbrunn today the horses attached to his carriage became unmanageable and he jumped out of the vehicle and walked the remainder of the distance to the Hoffburg. No one was hurt, but great excitement was caused by rumors to the effect that the Emperor had been injured. HAS CORNER IN PEPPERMINT Ex-Congressman's Company Controls 95 Per Cent. of High-Priced Crop. Kalamazoo, Mich., Oct. 27.—Ex-Congressman A. M. Todd, president of the A. M. Tood Company, said his company practically controlled the peppermint and essential oil crop of the world, having 95 per cent. of the total. The crop this year approximates 190,000 pounds. A month ago it was worth $2.50 a pound, but now the price is $5. The total value of the crop therefore is $950,000, showing an advance of nearly $500,000 since September. The cause for the increased price as given by Todd is a shortage of the crop, which is only two-thirds of the usual supply, and the greatly increased demand for essential oils. Train Flagged Just in Time Marquette, Mich., Oct. 27.—Men loading cordwood at Granite Bluff, near Iron Mountain, on the Milwaukee road, let a loaded car run out on the main line. The brakes became disabled and the car, which had gained considerable momentum, ran a quarter of a mile down the track. The evening passenger train was soon due, but a man named Tamborini seized a lantern, signalled and stopped the train. Roller Rink to Open. The regular skating season will open at the Exposition rink next Thursday night, October 30. Manager Trumpff has had the skates overhauled, and the floor leveled and put in good condition. Clauder's Band has been engaged to furnish music for the skaters throughout the season. Every Saturday morning and afternoon children will be admitted for 5 cents, and will be furnished skates for the same price. Japanese Language to be Taught. Japanese is the latest language to be added to the list taught at the University of Chicago. Prof. Yashiaka, a graduate of Northwestern University, has been selected to teach the language. There are a number of students in the university who expect to go to Japan as missionaries. LATEST MARKET REPORTS. MILWAUKEE, OCTOBER 29, 1902. EGG AND DAIRY PRODUCTS. EGG AND DAIRY PRODUCTS.

PRANK MHA HieMOERALD, cualeman spedteee Hae, Pe Democratic State Ccatral Committee. : OF WISCONSIN << F. WARDEN, Chairman. Milwaukee, Wis., Get. 23, 1902. To the Voters of Wisconsin: ~ The campaign fur a retum to sane methods in govyerumert and economy in public administration has now reached a stage where it may confidently be pre- icted that “the Demoeratic state ticket will be elected by a substantial majority, with promise of Democratic control of the Legislature and the election of sev- eral Democrats to the House of Repre- sentatives of the federal Congress. The issues of the campaign have been fairly presented to the yoters of the state by the Democratic press and by Democratic speakers that have addressed the voters of every city, village, town and hamlet in the state. David 8. Rose, the Democratic candidate for governor, has been making one of the greatest cam- paigns in the history of the state. Be- fore the polls will have been closed, he will have addressed more voters than any other public speaker has ever spoken to during a political campaign in this state. Wherever he has spoken, his meetings have aroused widespread interest among the voters. The euthusiasm which his speaking campaign has-created and the evidence on every hand that his speeches have carried conviction to the minds of the voters warrant the statement that the election of the Democratic state tick- et is assured. It is not, however, upon what might be deemed surface indica- tions that the prediction of Democratic success is made, A thorongh organiza- tion in every precinct of the state hax been perfected and from a careful poll of the voters made by the correspondents of the Democratic state central comimit- tee there is every assurance of the elec- tion of the Democratic ticket by a majori- ty larger than the most sanguine reason- ably could expect. The voters of Wisconsin have come to realize the hollowness of “reform” and the perfidy of its apostle, who, while professing attachmeur to high ideais and to purity in government. has heen con- -victed at the bar of public epiaion upon the evidence of men of the highest stand- ing in the Republican party, of sean- dalous methods of raising money contribu- ‘tions from corporations with which to carry on his personal campaign for fac- |tional supremacy. They have come to realize the insincerity of the Republican candidate for governor in professing to desire tax legislation which shall make corporations and individuals bear a just- ly proportionate share of the burden of government. They have had it brought home to them that this “reformer” made the Stevens bill the paramount measure of his administration and through his influence withheld consideration of the tax commission tax bills by the Assem- bly until the Republican factions had become so embittered that the passage of any important measure was impos- sible. They have contrasted his public utterances demanding “tax reform” with the double taxation and the enormous in- crease in the state mill tax under his ad- ministration that “it is but just to note in this connection that, as appears by the above tables, the railroad companies have been fairer than the average of individuals, who, as to the great mass of personal property, assess themselves,” and have come to realize that “tax re- form” as advocated by the Republican party is merely to afford Gov La Fol- lette an issue with which to address the yoters after having exhausted his hobby to inaugurate purity in government by abolishing all political conventions and to reduce office-seeking to an exact science. The voters of Wisconsin have come to see that the Democratic party alone Bob I. to His Troops. fee. 2 se) pe pe) ae Tere Once more unto the booths, dear friends. once more; Or lose the jobs that mean your daily bread!

Two Administrations. Mayor David 8S. Rose, the Democratic candidate for governor, is the executive of the municipal government of the priu- cipal city of Wisconsin—a eity that in- cludes within its limits nearly one-sev- enth of the populaton of the state. A comparison, then, between his adminis- tration of the gevernmental affairs of the city of Milwaukee with the adminis- tration of the larger affairs of the state by Gov. La Follette is neither irrelevant nor impertinent. : When David S. Rose was elected may- or of Milwaukee, the finances of the city were in a deplorable condition. The city had exhausted its credit and public improvements were at a standstill. Un- der Mayor Rose's four years of adminis- tration, the city’s debt has been reduced more than $1,500,000 below the 5 per cent. limit, taxes have been lowered and the burdens of the taxpayers lightened, While his management of the affairs of the city has been characterized by close economy, great public improvements have been undertaken, many of which have been carried to completion. Miles of streets have been repaved, and today Milwaukee is credited with having more splendid drives and cleaner streets than anf other city of its size in the United States. New bridges, at great cost, have been built to facilitate tae city’s lake commerce, and oor now ranks the first in the artount of tonnage offers in its plan of uniform taxation the only method of placing the several class- es of property subject to taxation upon a basis of absolute equality. The record ioe urente party made in its admin- stration of the state government from 1891 to 1895 offers 2 striking contrast with the “reform” administration of Gov, La Follette. Under Democratic administration, economy ruled, tax bur- dens were lightened and sinecures abol- ished. Under the administration of Gov. La Follette there has been great outery for “tax reform,” but no effort has been made to relieve the burdens of the taxpayers by cutting off useless ex- penses; instead there has been extrava- gence in every department of govern- ment, the taxes of the individual tax- payer has been made heavier, useless officials have been multiplied, and under the increase in the assessment the taxes of public-service corporations have been reduced, The Democratic party of Wisconsin has never made a secret alliance with the railway corporations to attain its ends. It has never trafficked in office or bartered places upon its ticket. It #0es before the voters with clean hands and a clear conscience. It is unequiyo- cally for honest taxation, without favor- itism to any class or interest, but with justice to all, It has never lost sight of the tax question. In state and nation it has always stood for an adjustment of taxes to relieve the masses of unjust bur- dens. It was the Democratic party that enacted the income tax that was made void by a decision of the United States supreme court. It was the Democratic party that first recognized the evils of tariffs that enable monopoly to receive undue advantage and fatten on the subl- stance of the people—a position which ‘is now coming to be recognized by a growing element among the Republicans of the West as eminently correct. The Demoeratie party of Wisconsin lias not abated its zeal for tariff reform. It has not lost sight of the greater issues that press for solution, but it has recognized that in the election of a state ticket, is- sues that are purely local should not be neglected. The verdict of the voters of Wisconsin will be rendered upon the ag- gression of the protected monopolies in the election of members of Congress and indirectly to the election of members of the Legislature. ‘There ix every _rea- son to believe that their decision will be favorable to the Democratic party in its attitude of no-protection to criminal | trusts. 7 In the election of state officers, the eaters of Wisconsin are called upon to determine whether they prefer couserva- tive and sane methods of public adminis- tration, uniformity in taxation and econ- omy in expenditures, or false pretense, extravagance, the riding of hobbies and the blocking of legislation by factional warfare between the executive and the Legislature. That their verdict will be such as will justify the efforts of the Democratie party to present the issues fairly before them, I have every reason to believe. Democratic success is as- sured, if every Democrat does his duty. ene you, Democrats of Wisconsin; to you, independent voters and Republicans that have freed yourselves from partisan prejudice, the Democratic party coufi- dently looks for the redemption of oui -yommon state from the affliction of ‘pharisaical and hypocritical “reform,” and relief from the burdens of unjust taxation and extravagance in public ad- ministration which the people of Wis- consin are now to bear. A. F. WARDEN, Chairman Democratic State Central Committee. of the lake ports. Encouragement has been given to every movement designed to advance the interests of the city, aud today Milwaukee is one of the best known and most prosperous cities of the country. | In state affairs, what has been ac- ‘complished under the administration of Gov. La Follette? What great improve- ment has been undertaken, what new ‘public institution created, what extra- ordinary expenditure made to require increase of taxes? Not a single im- provement has been made, not a new public building erected, yet we find added burdens heaped upon the tax- payers and are told that the taxes now raised are inadequate to meet the ex- penses of the state. No encouragement has been given the movement to settle the vacant lands of the north and bring added wealth to the state to lessen the general burden ef taxes, but out of 2 narrow spirit of factional revenge, the state board of immigration has been abolished. To further the political ambi- tions of the executive a pretense of “re- form” has been raised and the state tn- fiicted with turmoil, agitation and strife. Public affairs have been neglected and the capitol has been made the rendezvous of political workers that have carried on an incessant agitation to further the gov- ernor’s political ambitions. In a word, David S. Rose’s adminis- tration has been devoted to the inter- ests of the public—to the interests of the taxpayers, the home owners and the business men—while the administration of Goy. La Follette from first to last has been given over entirely to promot- ing his unbridled ambition to achieve political power without regard to its in-| jurious effect, nor consideration for the interests of the people. David S. Rose is not constantly prat- ing about purity in government and pos- ing as a martyr to the cause of the peo- ple. It is not that he does not approve of honest methods of administration nor seek to safeguard’ theinterests of the people ‘that he is not posing as a- “friend of the peepul” and a martyr to their interests, but that he believes that deeds count for more than words. In what- ever official position he has filled, no seandal has: attached to his administra- tion nor sacrifice of the people's in- terests been made. Instead, the last time he was elected mayor of ‘Milwaukee he received a larger oe than he did when first, elected and the corer by an overwhelming vote aces the stamp of their approval upon his policies. ——_—_-—_——_ Henry C. Payne is quite a “mutual- izer,” but “mutualizing” the candidates for office and satisfying the voters are altogether two different propositions. The exigencies of politics required that Spooner should take his ‘medicine and that Quarles should get out on the stump and deny that he ever said it, but there are others that are not to be so easity assimilated by the apostle of “reform.” Why despair of the millenium? When Eastern corporations feel such a deep interest in “reform” and “purity” in gov- erpment that they are impelled to con- tribute lavishly and without solicitation to the campaign funds of Wisconsin “re- formers,” who is there to declare that the corporation is without a soul or that its existence threatens the perpetuity of free institutions? = RSS SEER ES IRS : . < SS = : as RON Se Sas .

Ernst Merton, nominee for state sen- ator from this distrivt, is one of the state’s prominent lewyers and well known Democrats. He was born in Ber- lin, Germany, in 1S4#8, and came to this country with his parents in 1856, settling at Milwaukee. He atiended the Luther- an parochial school at that city until he became 14 years of age, when he left home to make his own way in the world. For a while he was empleyed on farms in Milwankee and Walworth comnties and subsequently commenced the study of law in the office of James Merrill, at Eas: ‘Troy. Ile was adinitted to the bar in 1877 and at once opened an office at Burliagton and commenced the practice of his professien. From the first he was successful and in 1883 was admitted to practice in the supreme court. While a resident of Burlington he was elected president of the village and subse- quently re-elected, resigning in 1889, when he came to the city to reside. In 1884 he was the Democratic nominee for Congress in the First district, but was, defeated, the district being hopelessiy | Republican. Mr. Merton was married at East Troy, in 1868, to Miss Hyelyn | Adams. Upou coming to Wankesha Br. Merton formed a law partnership with 4. E. Ryan. The firm is now knowa as Ryan, Merton & Newbury and has a large practice. He is ai present an alderman from the Sixth ward. Every- thing imucates Mr, Merton's — election over Senator Long Jones by a gratifying | majoriiy. He is exceedingly popuiar | with the Democrats of the district and | has the assurance of much Republican | sup>ort beth in this county a Wash- | ington. There is uo candidate on the Democratic ticket whose election would give more universal satisfaction than the election of Mr. Merton over that great political turncoat “Long Jones” of Lli- nois, erstwhile stalwart Republican, and the man who against the protests of Henry C. Payne organized ahe eleventh floor, and who now truckles at the heels of the La Follette crowd in the vain hope that it may save his political hide. Jones made his reputation by running around the Hotel Pfister during the Quarles campaign, yelling: “This js the way we do it in Illinois.” Jones is one of those good Republicans who thinks a Negro newspaper has no business to attack a white man. He will learn some sense before he gets much older and we would not give much for his politics! carcass after November 4. W. H. Hardy. Sr.. Nominee for Register. Se eee eee a Oe eg Oe ee ge The convention showed excellent. jnig- ment in the selection of W. H. Hardy, Sr., of the city for register of deeds. Mr. Hardy is known as a campaigner of un- usual] ability, which has been demonstrat- ed by his repeated election as city as- sessor on the Democratic ticket several times when most of the ticket was snowed under. He is a native of New York, where he was born in 1832. He came West with his parents in 1846 and settled in the town of Genesee. For a while he clerked in a store here and I«ter conducted a photograph gallery and earned the money to pay for his educa- tion, which was subsequently secured at Carroll College and Lawrence Univer- sity. After leaving college he taught school and later embarked in the mer- and of exquisite and beautiful design.

He was 73 years of age, and an ardent and uncompromising Repablic- an in politics. In the early days before the Civil war he was an actiye-co-worker with the abolition movement in the North and operated a station upon the line of the “underground railWay.” ~ He- was a credit to the Negro race and will be missed by many, old and young, in this city, cantile business, subsequently being en- gaged in the sale of wool and lmnber. He was married at Palmyra, in 1860, to Miss Asenath Hill of Franklin county, New York, Mr, Hardy has always been identified with the growth ond progress of the county. He was a uetary public for years and chairman of the town-of Genesee in 1873.

Martin Cornelius Had the Money with Him, Intending to Close Real Estate Deal. Appleton, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.]— Martin Cornelius, a wealthy saloonkeeper of this city, was held up and robbed of $8000 at 9 o'clock last night. Cornelius was in Oshkosh yesterday afternoon, where he intended purchasing some real estate, and this accounts for his having such a large sum of money on his person at the time of the robbery. He left the latter city about 6 o'clock and arrived at Appleton shortly before 9. Leaving the interurban car near the downtown district, he immediately started for his home. At the corner of Pacific and Bates streets he met two men who confronted him and ordered him to throw up his hands. One of the men held Cornelius' hands to his back while the other covered him with a revolver and went through his pockets. The money, which was in one roll and consisted of bills ranging in denomination from $10 to $500, was carried in his inside vest pocket. After securing the roll the robbers quietly warned Cornelius against making any outcry and then disappeared down a dark side street. The matter was promptly reported to the police, but up to this morning no clue to the highwaymen had been found. IS WORTH THOUSANDS. Lizzie Riebes Returns to the Old Home in Racine with Lots of Racine, Wis., Oct. 29.—[Special.]— Lizzie Ziebes, whose relatives thought that she was dead, returned to this city today. She has government drafts for $25,000 and says that she is worth between $50,000 and $60,000. Mrs. Ziebes left here eight years ago and went to San Francisco to live. Four years ago she went to the Klondike and was a nurse for a while in a hospital at Dawson City. Later she went to a mining camp to become cook, and after that her relatives lost track of her and it was later reported that she had died. It seems that Mrs. Ziebes while in the mining camp invested what little money she had in some claims, all of which turned out well. She did some mining herself and secured a large amount of gold dust. When she arrived in Seattle, Wash., she sold the dust for $25,000. The avful hardships experienced by the Racine woman can hardly be described. She suffered from cold and hunger and at one time she was at the point of death in a mining camp 200 miles from any settlement. She is now well and has come back to Racine to live. Beloit, Wis., Oct. 29.—F. L. Preston of this city, who has been absent for some months looking after his mining interests at Boulder, Col., has returned to Beloit, and states that he has just sold interests in certain mines for $200,000 and has stock left worth millions. His friends declare him to be now the richest man in Beloit. LIGHTNING WRECKS PLANT Electric Power House and Water Works at Cumberland Put Out of Business.

Edward Bailey of Carney, Mich., Killed by Train Near Pembine. Pembine, Wis., Oct. 29.—The mutilated body of a man, identified as Edward Bailey, formerly of Carney, Mich., was found on the "Soo" tracks east of here by the crew of a passenger train which also passed over the body. Bailey was probably struck and killed by No. 8 passenger, east bound, as he had started early yesterday morning for a lumber camp where he has been working. Bailey was about 30 years old and had no family. PRISON CONTRACT NOT LET State Board of Control will Meet Again Later in the Month.

The Waterways of Wisconsin will be Made by Professors of State University. Madison, Wis., Oct. 29.—Prof. L. S. Smith of the civil engineering department, with a score of assistants, is to make a hydrographic survey of the principal rivers of the state of Wisconsin. The survey consists of a systematic study of the discharge of many of the principal streams of the state and will be carried on through a term of three years. Its purpose is twofold: (1) To determine the possible power of development. (2) To determine the water supply of the separate rivers. Incidentally its purpose is to find the relation or ratio between the amount of rainfall on a given water-shed and the run-off from the same. Gauges will be established on the upper and lower courses of both the Wisconsin and Fox rivers. A single gauging station will be established on each of the following rivers: Chippewa, Black, Menomonee and possibly on other important rivers. The amount of water flowing in these streams will be actually measured every month and the law of the stream determined. The cost of the survey is paid out of an appropriation of $2,500,000 by the United States government for the work of the United States geological survey. MURDEROUS MANIAC MAKES HIS ESCAPE.

Emma Thomas Claims She was in Odanah on Night Which Miller was Murdered Washburn, Wis., Oct. 28.—[Special.] The reading of the letters written by Emma Thomas, alias Cassody, to Mike Miller, has occupied the attention of the circuit court in the murder trial this morning.

During the reading of them the defendant kept her face covered and for the first time during the trial was visibly affected.

FOR TWO GENERATIONS MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT HAS BEEN THE FARMER'S FRIEND AND A HOUSE-HOLD NECESSITY. PAIN LEAVES WHEN MUSTANG LINIMENT ARRIVES——FOR MAN OR BEAST Boom in Walnut Stumps. Old walnut stumps are on a boom throughout Tennessee, says the Memphis Appeal. Stumps that have remained unnoticed for years and were regarded as worthless are now eagerly sought after at prices that seem almost fabulous. One Indiana concern has had men traveling over the country buying every old walnut stump that could be found. At first the prices paid were small, but as the eyes of the stick timber folks began to open the prices went higher and higher, until new they are out of sight, and the funny part about it is that the uglier, knottier and more unsightly the stump the more money it will bring. The stump of a walnut tree that was cut down several years ago brought more than the whole of the tree. It is stated that the stumps are made into veneering material and used in the manufacture of high-grade furniture. In cases where bronchitis has become chronic from want of proper treatment in the earlier stages, there is nothing so good as Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an outward application along the front of the throat, from close up under the chin to well down to the top of the chest; the one remedy assists the other, and as intended, they work in complete unison. The wonderful penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil enables it to reach the adhesion of foreign matter which lines the bronchial tubes and which makes breathing more and more difficult. As these adhesions become inflamed and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil causes such adhesions to break away, making expectoration easier and more free. Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly and very hot, soothes and heals the parts, is comforting and quieting, stops the cough and relieves the breathing. This manner of treatment (and there is no other two remedies that will work together so successfully) reaches the difficulty from the outside and the inside at the same time. St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the adhesion, and assists Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then both remedies act in unison in healing and curing. The above remarks apply with equal force in cases of asthma, croup, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils and all bronchial affections. Every family should have St. Jacobs Oil and Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea always in the house in order that they may be promptly used in the first stages. Often the malaies develop with wonderful rapidity, and complications take place with equal suddenness. Rapid Transit Courting. The proud people of Neck City claim that the shortest courtship on record in Missouri took place there a few days ago. At noon H. W. Parker of Chitwood met Miss Clara Holdman. Neither had seen nor heard of the other before, but at 7:30 o'clock the same evening they were married. This beats by a half hour the record of the Carthage couple that recently got married in eight hours after their first meeting. Kansas City Journal.

The town of Bingham is the home of Nathan B. Moore, undoubtedly the oldest guide in Maine. Mr. Moore is 84 years of age, erect of figure, and still able to stand his share of a tramp through the woods. He estimates his record of big game killed at 276 moose, 200 caribou, 100 bear and many deer. At 8 years of age he began trapping and he has followed it every season since. "My father," he says, "was the ferryman at the time, and he gave me two small steel traps, which I set near the ferry at a point where muskrats and mink were plenty, and this, my first effort, met with good success. I was so small that I could not spring the traps alone, and I had to take the animals caught to my father, who removed them and reset the traps. The money secured from those skins was the first I ever earned. Before long, however, I was able to look after the traps myself, and from that time on I took many fur-bearing animals each season. As I became older I had a gun and hunted small game and killed many partridges, which were eaten at our table. "At fourteen years of age I killed my first moose, a large bull, and soon after that my career as a trapper and hunter began, and I have devoted most of my time to it since. "When I started out in life I determined that I would always tell the truth, never drink spirits or use tobacco. "Moose and caribou were very plentiful about here in those days and I killed many of them, taking the meat down the river and selling it, often realizing $100 for a moose and nearly as much for a caribou, besides having the hides, tallow and shanks left for my own use. "I ran down on snowshoes most of the 276 moose I killed, and I think that I must have found some of the smartest moose in the woods in the number, but I never yet found one that I could not catch the first time I started him in the morning under favorable conditions, and without he help of either man or dogs. Some would run five, some ten, and a few twenty miles, but I was always sure of them sooner or later."—Bangor (Me.) Commercial. On the Verge of Bright's Disease. A Quick Cure that Lasted. CASE NO. 30,611.-C. E. Boies, dealer in grain and feed, 505 South Water Street, Akron, O., made the following statement in 1896, he said: "Ever since the Civil War I have had attacks of kidney and bladder trouble, decidedly worse during the last two or three years. Although I consulted physicians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright's disease, and I was continually using standard remedies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoulder blades, still existed. As might be expected when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition, there was a distressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney secretions. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a decided change within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Three Years After. Mr. Boies says in 1899: "In the spring of 1896 I made a public statement of my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of a terrible aching in the kidneys, in the small of my back, in the muscles of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. During the years that have gone by I can conscientiously say there have been no recurrences of my old trouble. My confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills is stronger than ever, not only from my personal experience but from the experience of many others in Akron which have come to my notice." A FREE TRIAL of this great kidney medicine which cured Mr. Boles will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

In these days of scarcity of fuel it may be interesting to know how one thrifty housekeeper, with more leisure than money, has warmed her house for years during the two weeks or so in the fall and spring when heat is needed in the morning and evening only. She uses old newspapers and prepares them for combustion by twisting them into fagots. For the furnace she tears the paper in half, doubles each half together and twists it tightly. For the fireplace heater she separates the sheets, crumples each together and finishes by giving a slight twist, while for the small stove in her sewing room, or for a grate that is sometimes used in a north room, she merely gives the paper a close crumple. She finds it better to prepare the fuel pretty near the time of using it, as it burns better if it has not been allowed to gather dampness. This fuel is prepared at odd times, usually at dusk, by the mistress and her children, and is kept in huge bags made of castoff garments, and these form measures for the amounts needed.

He is suffering from fatty degeneration of the heart and the physicians hold out little hope for his recovery. Maurice Grau has completed the number of German tenors he has engaged for this country by adding to the list Herr Anther, who has sung in Dresden for a number of years, and is one of the best known German tenors. Simon Raphael, believed to be the oldest man in New York, is dead, at the age of 106 years. He was born in Russia and is survived by a son, six daughters, forty-five grandchildren and twenty-eight great grandchildren. Mr. Raphael retired from the dry goods business when 100 years old. Foxhall Keene had hardly recovered from a bad shaking up by being thrown out of his automobile at Mineola, L. I., when, on going to the dog show in Madison Square garden, he was bitten by a bull terrier. The animal sank its teeth into Mr. Keene's right hand, inflicting a painful injury. It is definitely settled that C. Oliver Iselin will be the managing owner of the new boat which the Herreshoffs are to build as a candidate for the defense of the America's cup. Mr. Iselin has been abroad with his family since early summer and is still away, but the arrangement, it is said, was made by cable. Invitations for a "three score and ten reception" have been sent to about 100 Brooklyn men who are between the ages of 70 and 100 by Dr. William B. Hund, a veteran dentist. These aged men are to participate in a "social" in Dr. Hund's home, Williamsburg. The old men are to have a social time and swap stories. On board the Majestic, from Liverpool, was Miss Geraidine Stoney, famous in British society circles as an Irish beauty. Miss Stoney is on her way to Bermuda, where she will visit the family of the governor of that colony, Sir Henry Le G. Geary, K. C. B. She was accompanied by Lieut.-Col. Parkinson, who is attached to the governor's staff. The famous Hudson river trip, which is part of all Eastern honeymoon tours, is to be made doubly attractive next year by the launching of magnificent palace steamers which will make the trip in five hours. It is designed to meet the fastest river service in the world. Charles W. Morse, the millionaire banker and former president of the ice trust, is behind the scheme. Two idols of Broadway are ill. Marie Dressler is confined to her apartments in a delirium of typhoid, and her condition is said to be serious. Bonnie Maginn, the pretty little dancer of the Weber & Fields Company, has been obliged to give up work indefinitely through illness brought on by the complex stunts she has nightly amused audiences with for the past three months. Little Margaret Palma has done something that will cause her to be held up for emulation in all the Sunday school societies of the country. She is a little 5-year-old miss and with the pennies that she saved she bought a bisque doll and raffled it off for the benefit of a church fund. The $5 she made formed the nucleus of an $8000 collection and the cornerstone has just been laid. St. Joseph's Catholic Church of Rosebank is the beneficiary. According to an estimate made by an expert there were just a quarter of a million worth of "dawg" on exhibition in Madison Square Garden. There were 1500 canines housed in the building and they ranged in value from 15 cents to $15,000. Over 200 men are constantly employed in caring for these aristocrats of dogdom and a high salaried chef looks after the cuisine. The dog biscuit is the piece de resistance, but many dainties enter into the daily bill of fare. Mrs. Annie Donovan, the "bearded lady" exhibited with, Barnum's circus, died in Williamsburg, aged 37 years. She will be buried with her whiskers uncut, according to her dying request. She had hair on her face from birth, and was only 9 months old when brought from Virginia by a Barnum agent to New York. She continued to exhibit herself until five months ago, when she was forced by consumption to quit the circus in Spain and come home. Mrs. Donovan is said to have been married twice. Hilda Clark, the prima donna, is soon to become the bride of Anson Flower, the son of the late Gov. Flower. The marriage probably will take place at Mr. Flower's old home in Watertown, N. Y. Miss Clark was a guest there last Wednesday at the wedding of Anson Robinson, Mr. Flower's nephew, and Miss Marguerite Williams. A date for the wedding has not been set, but the invitations are expected at any time. Her mother is Mrs. Lynda Clark, wife of M. E. Clark of Leavenworth, Kan. A daughter was born to Mrs. Lewis Rutherford Morris, who was formerly Miss Katherine Clark, daughter of the millionaire senator from Montana. The child is even now heiress to $20,000,000, which was her mother's dowry when she married Dr. Morris, and undoubtedly will succeed to some of the many millions of Senator Clark. Miss Clark and Dr. Morris were married in St. Thomas' Church May 29, 1900. They live at 175 West Fifty-eighth street and have been noted for the magnificence of their entertainments. The announcement is made of the engagement of Miss Pearl Livingston Underwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Underwood, to Rev. John Hopkins Denison, pastor of the Church of the Sea and Land, at Market and Henry streets. Miss Underwood is one of the members of New York's smart set, who torsook society for the church, and while doing parish work for Dr. Parkhurst met the young clergyman, who was the doctor's assistant. Rev. Mr. Denison is a grandson of Mark Hopkins, who was for years president of Williams College. Asbestos bricks by the use of which oil can be burned in ordinary stoves, are selling freely on the market. They are made of a size to fit the average firebox. The brick is soaked in kerosene for a half minute, and will take up a half-pint of the fluid. It is then placed in the stove and lighted, and will give out an intense heat for a half-hour. The salesman's advice to customers is: "Take three bricks, for safety and convenience. While one is burning another will be cooling off, and the other in soak. The hot brick must never be put in the oil." Mrs. E. M. Schoonmaker, at Asbury Park, formerly Miss Bessie Turner, the adopted daughter of Theodore Tilton, lies in a partly unconscious condition, the result of a stroke of paralysis. The story of Bessie Turner, who figured so conspicuously in the Beecher-Tilton trial, is well known. Drawn into the public gaze when almost a child, wherever she went notoriety pursued her, even though she had married a prominent and highly respectable member of the New York National Guard. He husband, leaving a competence, died six years ago, and three years ago she removed to Asbury Park. A middle-aged, black mustached man wearing a black coat and a silk hat walked down Wall street the other day until he sighted the statue of George Washington on he subtreasury steps. Then he reverently removed his hat and, kneeling down, kissed George Washington's toe. Theis he did thrice while a big crowd cheered. He started to make a speech, but could not be heard for the applause. The same man had made a disturbance in Wall street on other occasions recently. He tells people that his name is Belden and that he was formerly a high officers of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. His royal highness, Chowfa Maha Vajiravudh, crown prince of Siam, has returned to New York. He is incognito, Mayor Low called on the prince, and the prince returned the call. He told the mayor he has found America amazing. The crown prince went to see the antics at Weber & Fields'. He occupied an orchestra seat. The greater number of the "gags" and "jokes" he could not quite understand, but he laughed. Asked whether it was true that he was engaged to Miss Wilson, the daughter of Gen. James H. Wilson, whom he had visited in Delaware, the prince said the story was imaginative and an injustice to the girl mentioned. In the last month New York city has been overrun by inventors of devices to consume smoke. They were brought here, of course, by the universal consumption of soft coal, made necessary by the strike. With the ending of the great conflict they are beginning to flit. It must not be supposed, however, that the smoke nuisance has been abated by the magic touch of arbitration. In fact, along Broadway this evening it was almost impossible to see the tops of the tall sky-scrapers through the heavy pall of smoke. The ordinance dealing with this nuisance has been suspended during the strike and will probably not again become effective until close to the holidays. Anybody who has curiosity enough to investigate for himself may go into old Trinity church yard any of these fine days and find sitting around the steps at the entrance to the church anywhere from a dozen to three dozen girls, complacently eating the luncheons which they brought away from home with them in the morning. As many more may be seen wandering around and about the gravestones, most of them reading. A casual glance at the covers would not lead the observer to mistake the books for works of theology. St. Paul's Chapel church yard, across the street from the Astor house, is also a favorite lunching place for girls who work in skyscrapers in the neighborhood. Mrs. James Roosevelt Roosevelt, Jr., who, before her sensational marriage to the young scion of the Astor-Roosevelt families, was known as "Dutch Sadie," is not in the least disturbed because her father-in-law had transferred to her husband's sister, Miss Helen Roosevelt, property valued at several million dollars. Young Roosevelt's escapade two years ago startled society. He was a college senior when he met "Dutch Sadie," otherwise Sadie Messinger. He became infatuated with her and they were married, in spite of threats of disinheritance. The young man is a nephew of President Roosevelt. The fortune of Miss Helen Roosevelt, whose engagement to Theodore Roosevelt Douglas Robinson, a distant cousin, was recently announced, is estimated at $5,000,000. Miss Roosevelt made her debut in Washington last winter. There was a small spot of coffee on the menu card that lay upon a table at a much-crowded Broadway restaurant. The hawkeyed manager saw it. "Excuse me," he said to the man who was about to order supper, and he tore the card into several pieces, says the New York Sun. He then took a card that was spotless, like the other appointments of the place, and handed it to the guest. The latter had not noticed the spot upon the card and asked what was the matter. The manager explained that an imperfect menu card was as much of a blot upon his establishment as a badly cooked or badly served dish. "We do our own printing," he said, "and you will notice that each card bears a date. The date is that of today. "The paper and printing cost us about $20 a day, and as we keep open seven days a week the annual cost of menu cards is not a bad income. "In old times and times not so old a card might last for two or three days, or even more. Now, new cards are provided each day, and I might say that nearly every other item of expense connected with the business has kept pace with the increased cost of menu cards." Capt. Titus, chief of detectives, has had a double relay of men to meet every incoming Atlantic steamship since the cable reports reached New York of the expulsion of American "guns" and "grafters" from Paris and London. The adventurers, having been driven out of the two best capitals of Europe for their business, have no recourse but to return to their own city. Most of them come back with fat bank rolls, for the past year or two have been the best in all the history of graft abroad. All or nearly all of them are known to the police of New York, and not a few who went away in some haste and stress of weather left behind their souvenirs in the form of photographs, which still adorn the rogues' gallery. Capt. Titus says that if these pilgrims expect to spend the winter here in peaceful activity they will be disappointed. He has no idea of accepting the "discard" of Scotland Yard. The grafters will be closely watched, and if they attempt to turn a trick will be brought without recourse or delay to the front office, photographed again and warned to leave town. Or, if they be found on the street with no apparent means of support, they will be "vagged." A vag with $50,000 or $100.000 in his pocket would be a curio, even at 300 Mulberry street.

It has been a fine year for the increasing thousands who have fads about their food. The high prices of almost everything in the market have given the opportunity. The advocates of no breakfast, of meat once a day, of no meat at all, of certain kinds of vegetables, of no kinds of vegetables, of nuts only, of the absolute avoidance of nuts, of raw fruit, of fruit only when cooked, of neither coffee nor tea nor sassafras, and of all the other things, or of any part of things, or of no things at all, have come forth, not singly, but in battalions, and have told us how to live to be to a hundred—if we don't die. It would be gross ingratitude not to be thankful to these advisers. They are sincere. They want to do good. They give their time for the benefit of others. They are sad to think of ignorant thousands going to early graves on full stomachs. They raise their warning voices against satiety. People should stop eating before they get enough. The old saying about losing what is left on plates finds no echo in their doctrines. Eating for the sake of eating is a sin. Eating all the things that are offered is wickedness. So they find something bad in every number of the bill of fare—from typhoid fever in raw oysters to dyspepsia and vain regrets in pie. They have a right to their convictions. A man down in Virginia went without food for thirty days this year. But like as not they doubled the price of his board for the next month. People use the starvation plan for many ailments. Many of them go to health resorts and pay $50 to the hotel doctor, who strikes off from the bill of fare all the good things they would like to eat. The hotels get their savings, the doctor gets his big fees and they get—hungry. But most of the faddists have their imaginations in their culinary departments, and it is not reasonable of them to expect the robust members of society to follow their examples. It may be wrong, but the average American wants breakfast. It may hurt him, but he will have meat. He may be jeopardizing his very soul, but he likes to play with the menu all the way from soup to satisfaction. And somehow it agrees with him. Look at the other nations. We don't know of any that beat him when the food or the fuel within him works its way to results in the progress and civilization of mankind.—Saturday Evening Post. Helped Everybody Gainesville, Texas, Oct. 27.—Mrs. L. E. Burton, formerly of Eureka, Kan., has been at 507 Gladstone street, this city, for some time. While here Mrs. Burton has been the means of doing much good by introducing to her sick friends a remedy which it seems is very popular in Kansas, but which has not been very much heard of in this neighborhood. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and in every case where it has been used it has produced wonderful results. Mrs. Burton has good reason to speak well of Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they have done much for her and her family. She says: "I must tell everybody what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me and for as many of my friends as have used them. "I had a very bad case of Kidney Trouble, for which I had been doctoring for a long time without benefit. I saw Dodd's Kidney Pills recommended. I tried them and was completely cured. My mother and my brother were ill and they took them and were soon well again. "Dodd's Kidney Pills have done much for us." Hot Water Baths for Laborers.

Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health most be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds, and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con- MILWAUKEE F. MAYER B. & S. CO.

The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio: Dear Sirs-I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an exe lent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la gripe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh."

We desire to urge upon every colored voter the absolute necessity of casting a vote next Tuesday for Cassius C. Rogers for state senator. Mr. Rogers has always been friendly to them, he is one of our best citizens and business men, and is a frequent contributor to colored churches and charitable institutions. The senatorial term is four years and Mr. Rogers will, if elected, have an opportunity to vote not only for the re-election of Senator Spooner in 1903, but of Senator Quarles two years later. Mr. Rogers is true blue and when some of our lily-white Republicans sought to influence him against a Negro paper he told them he was running his own campaign and refused to turn us down. This is the type of Republican we should stand up and do battle for November 4. Attorney Green was called to Madison on legal business during the week. There will be a mass meeting held under the auspices of the Colored Men's Republican Club this (Friday) evening, October 31, at their headquarters at H. P. Knebel's hall, 254 Fifth street. Speakers, William Hawkins and William Miller. W. T. Green will preside. The only colored woman in the Fourth ward, Milwaukee, who registered in the present campaign is Mrs. J. J. Miles of 408 Wells street. Where are all our loud-mouthed sisters who have been reading essays and talking about woman's suffrage and the like? If the franchise were denied our people you could not keep them quiet. They would infest the literary societies and criticise our public men, but now when the ballot, though in a limited sense, is placed within their reach they are too busy talking about their neighbors to exercise it. ATTENTION! For some time past a chemical discovery for straightening and strengthening KNOTTY, KINKY or CURLY HAIR has been advertised and sold under various names. Several firms have become wealthy from its manufacture and sale through agents. As a SPECIAL OFFER, for the next thirty days, we will send the COMPLETE FORMULA and full directions for making and using this wonderful preparation to any reader of the Advocate on receipt of only 50 cents, money or stamps. C. R. PARIS & CO. Waupaca, Wis. Notice! The undersigned herewith endorse the efforts of Hon. Frederick H. McGee, financial secretary for the National Afro-American Council, as being duly accredited with authority to solicit funds for the council, to be used in testing the abridgement of suffrage as has been imposed upon the Negro race by constitutional amendment by various states of the South. Attorney McGee will speak in behalf of this movement at St. Mark's A. M. E. Church on the evening of November 12, 1902. A large assemblage is earnestly desired. JOHN J. MILES. SHELTON M. MINOR.
