THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1898. WEI I I N VY L,hh 1 It is well known to all intelligent people that the few world-renowned remedies which have stood the test of time and grown constantly in favor with the most eminent physicians and with the public generally, have everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving to the world a thorough knowledge of the source of their active principles, as it is equally well known that the great reputation of such remedies is due not only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the skillful methods employed by the manufacturers in producing it. For many years past the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. has proclaimed to the world the fact that the LAXATIVE AND CARMINATIVE PRINCIPLES OF ITS REMEDY, named SYRUP OF FIGS, are obtained by a method of its own from AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION OF SENNA AND OTHER AROMATIC PLANTS

LEGISLATION IS NEEDED

SECURITY HOLDERS MOVING TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS. May Eiport Meat and Provision via Southern' Ports The Remarkable ' Charge on the II. A O. A well-known railroad attorney, in commenting on the recent reorganizations of railway companies and those now in process of reorganization, said: "It is notice able that the security holders are giving more attention to the manner '.he reorganlzationa are effected, which a-gues well for the future; still, I think, some legislation is needed which will give the stockholder some rights in the selection of a receiver .when it. becomes necessary to appoint one. ;In the past the stockholder has had no voice In the selection of a receiver." The" United States Investor, in its current issue, contains a long article on this subject and it is handled in a manner which will be of Interest to the security holders. The Investor say3: "The recent foreclosure sales and more recent collapse of important railway systems- call attention in a striking manner to the necessity which has long existed, of ' legislation to regulate the reorganization of railway corporations, . legislation which shall enforce a closer attachnent . to the well-settled rules of judicial procedure, legislation which shall better protect the rights of tbe stockholders and creditors, which shall enforce absolute impartiality. The general practice of the courts in dealing with bankrupt railways has become a mere farce, a crying outrage which demands immediate remedy. It la to the courts we must look for relief. During the past ; ten years the loss to lnand downright theft, actually amounts to millions of dollars. Self-constituted 'reorganization committees, 'underwriting syndicates,' lawyers and trust companies, have grown rich, fattened on the contributions wrung from luckless Investors, and still the bad practice obtains. Within the past few months we have been afforded numerous object lessons of these abuses. Stockholders have been forced to accept such terms as were offered. Exorbitant charges have been made for legal services, and auditing- of accounts: certain trust companies have charged enormous fees for their services, and the poor stockholders and Junior bondholders have found them Belves in possession of a lot of newly manufactured securities, fewer in number and lower in interest rate than the former stocks and bonds, with old debts wiped out ".1 V.. J V. VJ V fTUII r ft t?Lllt VII I U14 ly insolvent on their hands, sure to gravitate again' toward another formal bankruptcy and another repetition of the former outrageous process." The Diversion Permunent. Every day makes It more and more evident that the diversion of export business via New Orleans and Galveston has become a permanent arrangement. As an experiment, a tralnload of meats destined to Bremen was shipped this week via Galveston. Heretofore shipments of grain for export constituted the only attempt to divert business via the Southern ports, and much interest is taken as to the result of the shipments of meats. The Illinois Central has Just completed its new elevator at New Orleans, of one million bushels capacity, and tho business la rapidly increasing. Kailway traitic men who have ntudiod the problem agree that the diversion of Southwestern grain, at least from Chicago and the seaboard cities has become permanent. Chpc of Trouble Removed. The tfflcials of tho Western roads are much r leased over tfce recognition of the differentials Of the Canadian Pacific by tho rnud of the Joint Traffic Association. Thev say that while on the face of the returns It is a victory for the Canadian Pacific, its victory , involves the surrender by it of matter for which it has been fighting for a number of years. It is understood by Vie Western and truuk line that the Cana

as the name, byrup or b lgs.

dian Pacific has consented to withdraw the individual rate sheets, which it has been keeping in trunk-line territory for a long time against the urgent protests of the trunk lines. The withdrawal of the rate sheets means that the Canadian Pacific wiil make rates and arranrements that are in accordance with the rights of the trunk lines, and thus withdraw a prolific source of trouble and demoralization with which the roads have struggled for some years. The recognition of tho differentials has moreover been a great relief to the Western roads. Xevr Freight Association. Western roads have completed the organization of a new freight association. Its chief officials will be members of a board of administration, of which John W. Mldgley will be chairman and C. A. Parker, traffic manager of the Missouri Pacific, J. A. Monroe, freight traffic manager of the Union Pacific, J. Fletcher, freight traffic manager of tbe Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis, and C. L. Wellington, traffic manager of the Wisconsin Central, will be members. It will assume control of freight business in territory east of the Missouri riyer and west of the meridian and Chicago on the 1st day of the coming month, and advances in rates already agreed upon will then become effective. Personal, Local and General Notes. The winter time table of the Biz Four will go into effect Nov. 8. Bridges, stations and other small buildings on the Pennsylvania lines are being repainted. .. K. E. Clark, grand chief of the Order of Hallway Conductors, Is expected in the city to spend Sunday. Nov. 1 II. W. Sparks will enter upon the duties of traveling iasseng3r agent of the I'.ig Four-.in the Northwestern territory. The Wheeling & Lake Erie is replacing nineteen of its wooden bridges with steel structures, ten of which have already been put In place. Western traffic officials expect a heavy movement of west-bound freights immediately after election, as stocks of merchants are very low. :' , . E. F. Keraney, a telegrrph operator at Logansport, will to-night address the railroad men In Columbus, O., on the soundmoney question. William Gobble has Just completed his thirtieth year in the employ of the Big tour as passenger brakeman, running between Cincinnati and Chicago. In the last three months ninety-nine head of cattle have been .killed on the Indianapolis division of the Panhandle lines, and the attention of engineers has been called to the matter. Recent transactions In the securities of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis point to the property being acquired by the Illinois Central, when the road is sold at a foreclosure sale. Major Pangborn, author of "The Evolution and Development of Railways of the World," sailed on Wednesday for liussli where he will study the raiiway systems of that country. Western roads are again in trouble over the application of party rates as applied to theatrical companies. Among other things unwarranted concessions have been made In the carrying of baggage. All commodity rates expire Dec. 31, but on most articles the board of managers of the Joint Traffic Association has recommended that the rates of this year be continued in effect the coming year. The words "Final return l.mit" have been construed by the Southwestern Passenger Association to mean when the passenger arrives at his original starting point instead of when he starts to return. ' The Vandalla engine which was run in this city on the street-railway tracks at the late- Kepubllcan parade was yesterday rhipped to Louisville, and will run in the Republican parade on Saturday niht In that city. . P. A. Bonebrake, superintendent of the Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines. Is confident that the inspection party which went over his division on Thur.-day will confirm his claim that this division is in the best physical condition of any in the system west of Pittsburg. The Monon still has two construction trains distributing gravel at the rate of ninety carloads per day on the Indianapolis division, and Chief Kngineer Hull claims that the track from Indianapolis to Monon will, before winter sets in. be tho best in the State, both as to smoothness and solidity. A. A.

Known to act most beneficially on the system, and that a very small quantity of the juice of figs is used, merely, to promote the pleasant taste of the combination. It is well known that many fruits are wholesome as foods, but that being nutritious the juice of such fruits maybe used in large quantities as food, and that when used in medicinal compounds the quantity taken is so small as to have no medicinal value. The name Syrup of Figs was given to the laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. merely as a trade name, and the satisfaction which the remedy has given to millions of people, and its constant growth in favor with the most eminent physicians, and with millions of families, is ample evidence of the excellence of the plants used in the combination, and of the scientific method and exceptional facilities of the California Fig Syrup Co. for manufacturing the most perfect laxative known. Owing to the valuable reputation which the laxative remedy named Syrup of Figs, and manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. has obtained, many imitations have been offered to the public, which are sold under similar names, but which'have not the merits of the original remedy, and therefore should be avoided. As some imitations claim to obtain medicinal virtues from fruits, notwithstanding the above facts, it is more than ever important to the California Fig Syrup Co. to have the public know and understand that the true vand original remedy, named Syrup of Figs, is manufactured from an excellent combination of laxative and carminative plants, combined with a very small quantity of the juice of figs, and that the company does not claim, and has never claimed, to obtain the medicinal properties of the remedy from figs. . The great majority of druggists are too honorable to offer imitations to their customers. They know the importance of standard medicinal agents, manufactured by successful and world-renowned manufacturing chemists, and are willing to make great sacrifices to supply their customers with the highest products of modern science, and they know that the name of the California Fig Syrup Co. is a. guarantee of the excellence of the laxative remedy which it manufactures, and therefore will not sell imitations; but some dealers who have no regard for the quality of medicinal compounds, and desire to make the largest profit possible, are constantly endeavoring to sell the imitations. A well-informed public is able to protect itself against such imposition. The trouble with the imitations is not always a failure to act on the system, but that they sometimes act too violently, and when taken for any length of time they invariably tend to require constantly augmented doses, and in that way permanently injure the system. On the other hand, the laxative remedy named Syrup of Figs, and manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., acts naturally and gently on the system, and has a strengthening and refreshing effect, so that it is permanently beneficial, and may be taken or discontinued as desired Always note the full name of the Company printed on the front of each package when purchasing", as well

weighing and inspection bureau, which is supported by all the roads, should be in the Union Station. It Is claimed by trainmen who are informed that on no road In the United States is there daily made faster time than on the Panhandle between the city limits of Chicago and Kokomo Junction, the 122 miles from Lansing to Kokomo Junction being covered frequently in less than two hours. In the year ending Aug. 31 there were handled at the New York Central station. New York city. 4.107,820 pieces of baggage and nearly 100,000 bicycles, and out of this large number only three pieces of baggage were lost. It Is estimated that In this country there are handled at railway stations fu:ly 40.000,000 pieces of baggage annually, and It is seldom that a piece goes astray. Experts are now going over the Seaboard Air-line system in the interests of the syndicate which recent y secured control of the property. President Hoffman denies that he has resigned as president of the company, but it is well understood that the change of control means the removal of not only President Hoffman, but Vice President and General Manager E. St. John. The Michigan Central, in connection with the Pennsylvania Company, will construct extensive switching and transfer yards, extending from the State line to a point near the Calumet river, and connecting with tho Chicago & Calumet Terminal and the Chicago, Hammond & Western Belt line. There will bo twenty of these long tracks, and by their use the congestion of business at that poir.t will be greatly relieved. Although it is not generally known, E. E. Clark, grand chief of the Order of Railway Conductors. Is an enthusiastic supporter of sound money and McKinley. He has taken no active part In the campaign further than to use gilt-edged postal cards, on which he sent out his last official notice. Many of thu members are laying away for safe keeping the unique and handsome card he is sending out as mementoes of the campaign. The Mobile & Ohio is not making much bluster, but Is making financial exhibits from month to month which show it to be a much more valuable property than it is credited with being. In the last twelve months, when other roads of even more importance are showing decreased earnings, this road shows an increase of $349.-82 in gross earnings over the corresponding twelve months, or 10 per cent., and an increase in net earnings of $17S.3G6, or 10 per cent. It Is naturally a good feeder for the Big Four. For pome days past the Pennsylvania lines have been handling at Pittsburg an average of 4.000 loaded cars per day. The business Is about equally divided between the Panhandle and the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, and is chiefly grain, east bound. Last week thesf two mads turned over to the Pennsylvania for Eastern markets 1,400 carloads of live stock. An official of the Pennsylvania lines says that the company will soon be obliged to spend a large sum in purchasing ground for additional sidetracks at Pittsburg and its immediate vicinity. The Chicago-St. Paul lines are still fighting over the labor party matter, and there seems to be but a small chance that they will reach any conclusion satisfactory to all concerned. It was agreed at one time during the meeting that all the roads should take turns in hand'ing the traffic, but to this the Minneapolis & St. Louis objected, saying that It would not consent to any such arrangement. This brought up tho original question again, and the row is stl'l on. with little prospect of an amicable adjustment. The traffic over which the trouble has arisen is Inconsiderable In itself. The great changes which ' have been wroue-ht on , the Baltimore & Ohio lines since" Oscar Murray was appointed one of the receivers and elected one of the vice XresUnts. and what is heirs accomplished by William Greene, general manager, is attracting the attention of tne railroad and the business world. Of course, the receivership has given the road advantages which it would not otherwise have en loved, but these advantages have been utilized in a manner which has revolutionized business on the Baltimore & Ohio lines. Recently fifty new locomotives were added to the company's power; thlrtv-three firemen have b en promoted in the last few wee ks on the main line to be engineers, and in all departments reforms have been effected that argue much fcr the future of the property. Iveeptmr Their Affairs Secret. For the last two days an air of mystery has pervaded the proceedings of the executive council of the Federation of Labor. It was announced Thursday that the council had adjourned, but that afternoon the doors of the rooms in the De Soto Block were locked and no one was admitted but the members of . th council. The newspaper men wem barred out. When the co:m--cil left the rooms for the evening th members blipytU wiijf Aiutoily aud nothing

could be learned of What had happened behind the closed doors, but a rumor became current that there had been a quarrel of goodly proportions. President Gompers and Secretary McCraith could not be found during the evening. Friday was a repetition of Thursday. The doors were closed and in the afternoon late the members slipped away. Secretary McCraith did not even take hl3 supper where he Is accustomed to. He showed his dislike for newspapers early In the convention of tho council by saying he didn't see what good It did to have the proceedings of the council published in the papers, . MUNGER PLANT SOLD. Frank Fovrler, of Chicago, the Purchaser Will Enlurgre It. The plant of the Munger Cycle Company has been sold to Frank Fowler, of Chicago, by receiver Howard Cale, and he has submitted the transaction for the approval of the court. The place wa3 advertised to be sold at public sale a week from to-day, but in tho meantime an agreement has been reached with the Interested persons by which it was sold at private sale, and on account of the agreement of a.l concerned there is little question that the sale will be approved. The terms have not been made public. Mr. Fowelr comes from Chicago, where until . , within the last few months he has been connected with the Company that makes the bicycle bearing his name. He was the organizer of that company and has made a fortune in the business. He says he Lked the style of the Munger wheel and for that reason concluded to buy the plant and continue to manufacture it. He sold his interests in Chicago, and found after a few months; of Idleness that he wanted to again enter the work of manufacturing bicycles. He says he will enlargo the plant to about four or Overtimes its present capacity and to do this will have to move from its present location. If he can find a suitable place here he will not take It from this city, but the possible removal from the city depends upon securing a site. He thinks this city is a good place for the manufacture of wheels and would like to remain here. In the new factory Mr. Fowler expects to employ between 250 and 500 people. His success in pushing the Fowler wheel to the front is an indication of. what he may be expected to do in his new venture. FAIR WEATHER TO-DAY.

e SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON ELUCIDATION AND REVIEW OF IN TERNATIONAL TOPIC, OCT. 25. The Proverbs of Solomon, Proverbs 1, l-lO Teaching? the Secret of Successful and Happy Living. By Rev. JAMES E. GILBERT, Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. TITLE. The first versa of the lesson contains the title of the entire book. The word "proverb," from the Latin, 'proverbium" (for, or instead of, much verbiage), signifies a terse form of speech. The ancients were accustomed to this sententious manner. These proverbs were spoken by Solomon, designated here the son of David, to honor his royal father. Not all of the three thousand maxims of the King (I Kings iv, 32) are given, but selections. Some of them were copied out of other books by the men of Hezeklah (Ch. xxv, 1), those prophets whom that pious prince consulted, Isaiah being among them. The book may be divided Into four great sections, the first being the first nine chapters (Ch. x, 1), the second extending to the seventeenth verse of the twentysecond chapter, the third ending with the twentyfourth chapter, and the last port completing the work. Solomon's proverbs are so founded on the principles of human nature that they are everywhere recognized as good rules of conduct. SCOPE. What la the general range of this wisdom literature? This important question is answered in Verses 2 to 4, under four heads to make a man know what It is to be truly wise; to prepav-s him for the perception of the words of understanding; to instruct him how to avoid those errors Into which men are liable to fail, or to correct him if lie has been misled into them; to make him understand when good advice is given, and to enable him to give it to others. (XI Tim. iil, 16.) This assumes that righteous conduct is not conditional upon divine grace alone. Knowledge is also essential. Hence the saints are called wise. We read of the wise woman (Ch. xiv, 1), and of the foolish woman (Ch. ix, 13), and then of the terms of knowledge. (Ch. viil, 10-12.) In this regard Solomon anticipates Jesus (John viii, 31-32), who never taught the enthusiastic doctrine, which now has many advocates, that Ignorance is compatible with safety and holiness. (John xvii, 17.) A whole book is devoted to support precisely the opposite thought. VAJ-.UE. F!y what consideration shall one be incited to seek wisdom? What benetlts may be aenved irom it? These answers are given in the lesson (Verses 5-6), either of whicn is suthcient to move most men. First, he who has it will incrtue learning, adding constantly to his store of knowledge. This results because he has ac quired command of his iowers, being able to use them rightly, and he has been furnished with those truths which are fundamental. Second, by this process he will be titted for honorable and useful station, and will attain unto wise counsels, as an adviser to kings, or as a ruler over departments of the Government. Thirdly, he will have capacity to solve dark sayings (I'salm Ixxxviii, 2), the profound things uttered by the learned which have teen treasured up from generation to generation. Or, more briefly, wisdom ennobles a man, prepares him for service, distinguishes him among his fellows, eo that they turn to him for advice and assistance. SOUKCK. Such being the broad scope and incalculable value of wisdom, how may it be obtained? Is it inherited? May some possess it because they descend from wise ancestors? And must others, however much they desire it, be forever without it? Or, is it some capricious thing of whose origin little Js known? "The fear of the Lord" is its beginning, is Solomon's startling assertion (Verse T), agreeing with the patriarch of five centuries before (Job xxviii, ), and with David. (I'salm cxi,' iO.) Anxious to impress the truth, our author emphasizes the opposite, that fools, wicked people (Fsalm xiv, 1, despise wisdom and instruction. "We have here the great germinal principle of the entire book, entitling it to a prominent place In the sacred volume. Here is the measure line to be applied forever to all human attainments. The fear of the Lord reverence for l!is name and subjection to HU will Is the starting point in all advanced knowledge. The absence of such fear shuts the door and bars it against all Ferkers. They who search without it grope in darknesj and miss their way. SfJ'POUT. If the fear of the Lord Is the beginning, is any further direction needed In the pursuit of wisdom? What "other act or series of acts will assist in its cultivation. "Hear the Instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother,'' Solomon answers (Verge ). making the two parents Joint guardians and Instructors, entitled to equal respect. He repeats this counstl (Ch. .Iv, 1) in various forms, and pronounces the most terrible calamities upon children who flsr.lse their parents. (Prov. xxx. 0JU la a; this Ue is in harmony with all other.

N. Y. scriptural writers. Tho fourth commandment (Ex. xx, 12) enjoins honor to father and mother, and that follows the law concerning duty to God. The code of Moses provided for the punishment of an obdurate son. (Deut. xxl, 18-21.) Here, then. Is the eecond step in the way to wisdom. The correctness of this view might be shown by many notable examples, as the son of Ell (I Sam. 11, -o). on the one side, and the son of Eunice on the other. (U Tim. 1, C.) DANGERS. It is never well to show how a good thing may be obtained without at the same time presenting the dangers to which one is exposed. Man lives in a world of sinners. On every hand are those who would lead astray. (Itom. xvl, is.) They generally promts some reward for a proposed course of action. Appealing to the strongest motive in human nature, the love of gain, "Come with us," they say. "Unite your fortunes with ours, engage in our pursuits, let us have one puree, form a partnership, and as a result we shall fill our houses with precious substances." (Isa. x, 14.) This is a graphic, picture of those marauding expeditions in Eastern countries, by which vast wealth may be quickly acquired. The language might be applied to all those enterprises In our time in which there is profit at the expense of others. The danger is constantly before men. The sacrifice of righteousness for earthly good through the Mattering speech of associates is a sacrifice of wisdom. (Eph. v, 11.) WARNING. Having1 exposed this great danger, Solomon raises a voice of warning. "Walk not with them, do not be found lis company with such people. (Psalm i, 1.) Refrain thy foot from their path." (II Cor. vl, 17.) The duty of separation is urged many times In scripture (Psalrn cxix, 101), and illustrated in the life of Jesus. (Heb. vii, 26.) Here the warning is punctuated by the fact that the feet of these men run to evil (Verse 16), and are In the way of death. (Isa. llx, 7.) They are. therefore, hated by tht Lord. (Ch. vl, 18.)VThe meaning is -that they do not engage in single acts of violence, bul they persevere, proceeding from one case of mischief to another. Those who unite with them must remember that they thereby enter upon a course which will end in settled wickedness. This ought to deter most sensible people from beginning. There are many who, in hope of immediate return, might step aside for a time from the path of rectitude. There are few who will take that first step if they consider that associations will be formed and policies adopted which compel successive steps In a downward way. RUIN. Our royal tep.eher concludes this part of his lesson by showing the result of yielding to the enticements of others. They who seek gain by . robbery purchase ruin to themselves. They lay wait for their own blood, for their evil devices turn upon their own heads. There is a law of retribution that works through the very structure of society, the destruction of the evil doer. (Matt, xxvii, 4-5.) No man sins against his fellow who does not at the same time thrust at his own being. (Esth. vii, JO.) He is, in fact, a suicide. Besides, the eternal Justice of a holy God pursues him, and there is no escape from the storm of wrath which hangs continually over his head. To go forward in Fuch a way la supreme folly. "In vain the net is spread in sight of any bird." (Verse 17.) These simple creatures who live in the air and fly from place to place have sufficient intelligence to avoid the snare laid for them. Man, possessed of larger knowledge, ought in like manner to see the da r per In the evil schemes of men, and, seeing, escape. ... bi A! MARY. We have enjoyed a rare privilege to-day, to enter a school whose teacher is the wiseKt of men, a king honored and instructed by the Almighty. His theme, the secret of successful and happy living, is one of universal and permanent interest, too little considered. Our frequent and anxious agitation of . reform Is simply an unconscious acknowledgement that men have not bn rightly formed; they have not been educated and trained in that mcst Important of all sciences, how to live, and must by constant and laborious preens be brought back and reformed. Why not strike at the heart of this great matter that ts missed or violated on every hand? Until then our best effort will be but a track forever traveled backward. We have only to adopt the three great rules of Solomon fear the I.ord, obey your parents, shun evil companions and a new social era will becrin, and a higher order of men will appear. For then we come into harmony with the vitalizing tder,s of Cud in creation arid with the conserving forces operating through the generations. " Alone with God. "Lord, a little, little longer!" Sobs the earth love, growing stronger. He will miss me. and go mourning through his solitary days; And heaven were scarcely heaven. If these lambs which Thou hast given Were to slip out of our keeping and be lost In the world's ways, j Lord. It is not fear of dying. Not an impious denying Of Thy will, which forevenrore on earth. In heaven, be done; But the love that decpemte clings Unto these, my precious things, In the beauty of the daylight and the glory of the sun. Ah, Thou still art railing, calling. ti'ui. At f una nrtn IHnc And it vibrates in far circles through the everWhen Thou knockest. even so! I will arise and so. Miss Muloch, nough Sailing Ahead for Parka. Magistrate Lock man yesterday heard the case against John M. Parks, charged with nsault and battery with Intent to kill George Smock, a deputy constable. Smock went to the saloon at 196 North Senate avenue to levy on some Broods, and Parks, who is a bartender, objected to the process

and assaulted him with a - billiard cuaw Smock exhibited a sore head to the court. Dr. Wilson, of the City lMspensary, who dressed the wound, said he took six stitches in a gash two an! a half Inches long. Parks was sent to the grand Jury. Parks was fined $1 and yosts In the same court tor profanity, growing oin 'of the same encounter with the constable. He has to answer this morning at 9 o'clock In Magistrate Clark's court to the charge of provoke and drawing a deadly weapon. BEATEN BY A POLICEMAN. I'sed si Revolver on it Railroader Named Cojiady.

About midnight Wednesday 'night Dr. Laycock, living at 107 Bates street, was called up to dress a wound In the head of a railroad man named Casady. The wound was Just back of the forehead above the left eye, and was a cut about three Inches long. It took three fditches to draw It together. Casady said he was employed in the Big Four yards. He said that about 10 o'clock that nlg'it he had been discussing railroad affairs with a man in a saloon on Pine Btreet and a dlispute arose. The other man claimed thit he r-ad been employed by the Ulg Four railroad ten years ago, but now was a member of the police force and had day duty. He was in citizen's clothing. The dispute lasted until after the saloon closed for the right and the two went out on the street, where their words grew warmer. Suddenly the policeman drew his revolver, saying he would settle the matter, but Casady, realizing his peril, lushed toward him and clasped him about the body. The policerpan then dealt Casady a terrific blow on the head with the butt of the revolver, which knocked him senseless, and then fled. Casady, whose first name could not be ascertained, did not know the name of his assullant. and ;s very anxious that the matter be kept quiet. No one in the neighborhood seems to have any knowledge of the affair, and the name of the policeman cannot be learned. WOMEN VOTE FOR PRESIDENT For the first time in the history of this country an opportunity for women to publicly express their choice for President is offered. The method is unique, and will result in showing on Nov. 4 Just what effect the women's vote will have on national affairs. A manufacturer who has business relations with most of the trominent newspapers in the United States proposes the plan, as follows: ' All women over eighteen are entitled to one vote. The votes by States will be shown In the papers on every Wednesday and Saturday until Nov. 4. Women are requested to read more than ono side of the question and act upon their own Judgment. Write the name of candidate on a postal card and write your own name and uddress clearly, also city and State. On tho lower left-hand corner give the name of a banker or grocer who knows you. This precaution is to prevent flooding the mail with petitions votes. Names unKiiown to grocer or banker will be thrown out. lie vtry careful to write ciearly and an acknowledgment of the receipt f each vote will be sent to the fair voter. Send the postal to l ostum Cereal Food Coftee Company. Battle Creek. Mich.
