The news from New York as reflected in the following dispatch shows that no time Is to be lost: New York, Nov. s—The result of the recent elections was reflected in a broader inquiry for investment issues and general advances in the prices of listed securities being traded In outside the stock exchange. Another helpful factor was thp announcement that the Liverpool cotton exchange Is to re-open on a restricted basis of operations tomorrow. The news created a feeling of optimism in local cotton circles, where it was felt that the New York cotton exchange would soon be reopened. The ‘‘citizens’ ” party in Adams county became automatically dead with Tuesday's election. Os course the only trouble is that the corpse is likely to be revived at any time, if the democrats in office do not use the greatest care and efficiency. It's an ill wind that doesn’t blow somebody some good, according to an old adage. The foot and mouth disease which is causing such havoc among live stock and loss of much money for many stock men, will throw

many cut of employment in the big stock yards of the country, but it. will reduce the price of meats in the cities some, it is argued, for it permits only shipments of stock inside the states and in this country, where there is an over supply it will for a time at least probably effect the prices. The Buffalo markets were closed today and the Chicago stock yards will not be re-opened before next week. The government and the various state authorities are working hand in hand to stamp out this terrible disease. Official returns on the election indicate that the state has given a democratic plurality of about 50,000, which is just about what was claimed by the leaders. On the state ticket a big fight was made against Homer 1,. Cook for secretary of state, but he came througli with a plurality but about 5,000 less than that of Mr. Shively. The national congress is democratic by thirty-three plurality and the senate by thirteen majority. The Indiana legislature remains safely in the control of the democrats, and

there Is much to bring Joy to the followers of Woodrow Wilson. A return of good times will prove that a high tariff Is not necessary for prosperity in this counlry and will give this nation tile best era in its history in the next two years we believe. If this is so there will be no reason for the democrats to vacate the position of control it lias had for several years. fpoiillGS IN SOCIETY j WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Friday.

I will toss my heart in the air To be caught by Death.”

“But out of the night I heard, Like the inland sound of the sea, The hushed and terrible sob Os all humanity.” Then I said: “Oh, who am I To scorn God to His face? I will bow my heaw and stay And suffer with my race." —Sara Teasdale, in the Smart Set Invitation has been received by Mr. and Mrs. I. A.

The word comedian is as much abused as are the words, “surf cure,” “best on earth,” "guaranteed, ’’ etc., without end. What is a comedian? Did you ever stop to think? Is a comedian a man that blackens his face and asks, “How old is Ann?" No. Is a comedian a man that puts on a bald wig and a chin-piece and then pulls something about “Mein little dog Schneider?" Not at all. Dees a comedian —a real comedian —depend upon smutty sayings and a' barrel stave to provoke laughter? Again the answer is “No!” A genuine comedian, worthy of the name, is not listed above. A true comedian is funny at any time in the twenty-four hours r.f the day, with the aid of grease, paint and calcium lights, or with nothing tc aid him but his personality. And therein you have the answer —“Pensonality.” That makes the comedian If an actor doesn’t have personality then all the paint, powder and funny clothes in the world won’t give him the right to call himself a comedian. Personality can hardly be explained but is detected on sight. It consists of that inflniteismal something that radiates from gifted people, just as light is thrown from the sun, making their every action harmonious and pleasing to all observers. The par* of “Uncle Billy” in “The Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” which comes to the opera house next Monday night, was ever a humorous part, but since Mr Charles D. Marlowe has assumed the role he has literally made it stand out as a feature of the show. Every move he makes from his shuffling entrance in the first act to his final exit in the fourth act, proclaims his right to affix the title “comedian” to his name “Uncle Billy’s” part of the entertainment alone is worth the price of admission. Every one who has witness ed it concedes Mr. Marlowe to be “a true comedian,” worthy of the name

ADDED TO LIST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of Inquiries poured in to the depnrt ment from the livestock owners and railroads as to the movement of livi stock and feed across quarantined state Hues. The government officials declined to make any exception to the rule that no live stock may he lakoi; out of quarantined states and the rule that bey, straw and manure must be disinfected before being shipped from Infected states. Farmers were advised that two months would probably elapse before they would be able to ship live stock out of quarantined states. No quarantine has yet been placed on corn but in an interview till* morning with the Burk Elevator com pany of this city, the company expressed the opinion that an embarge would be placed on it within a few days. It became neetpsary for the United States government and the different state governments, where the disease is spreading to issue the embargo and quarantines on account of the foot and mouth disease among the cattle which broke out about a montli ago in Niles, Mich., later spreading to South Bend, Ind„ and then over the differ ent states. The foot and mouth disease attacks inly those animals which have cloven hoofs. Its presence is shown by the appearance of small ulcers and vesicles in the mouths of the animals and on their feet in the clefts. The mouths become so sore the animals cannot eat, and they grow emaciated. The only way to combat it is to kill the infected animals, as the malady spreads rapidly. Foot and mouth diseases are the most contagious ailment which affects cattle. Its prevelance in some parts of Europe and South America has prevented a natural increase in supplies in these countries for many years. To prevent the disease gaining a foothold in the United States the most drastic action was necessary on the part of the federal and state inspectors. o BANK STATEMENT. C. S. NIBLICK. President M.
