WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1906 TO Rfc.rU BL1CANS: We arc anxious to have every Republican, in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record o the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help as achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. P. O. Box 2063, New York, WORTHY CHARITY. In another column of this Issue the Palladium prints the story of a sorrow stricken family at Westville, just four miles east of Richmond. The family is doubly stricken not only with death but with poverty. The circumstances of the sad condition of affairs, truthfully told by the reporter who visited the home call forth a touch of sympathy from every true Christian that reads the lines. The Palladium calls on the people of this city to help the Vincent family. They need it sorely. It is not a time when through laziness, drunkenness or any such revolting circumstance a fami ly has been thrown upon the charity of the community. It is a time when through a chain of misfortunes a family finds that it cannot give its dead -decent burial. It Is a time when parents see a loved one taken from them and though the land teems with plenty and others all about them are happy they cannot lay their child to its last rest, as the most 'humble even could afford. Richmond people have many times responded with far greater amounts than needed in this case. They will no doubt stop just a moment in their rounds of pleasures surrounded by all that is good and think of a suffering brother. There may be a field for foreign mission work, the Blums of New York and Chicago may contain many families deserving of sympathy and support but here is an opportunity to show that charity truly begins at home. The Palladium enters on this work of collecting funds for the Vincent household, knowing that they are deserving of all that can be done for them. It Is hoped that the needed financial aid will come spontaneously. The representatives of the paper will dp all the work connected with the collecting the money. All tiaf fe nprPBsnrr ic ir rlftr tfiA office by 'phone or letter, that you desire to contribute. SUPERSTITION AS TO NUMBERS. That superstitious fears of the ab- . surdest sort are often combined with physical courage apparently without other limit has and has had, proofs without number, but it has been left for The Journal of the American Medical Association to call attention to one of the most curious of them. Says the New York Times. The men who take part In automobile races like those for the Vanderbilt Cup seem to be entirely destitute of the ordinary regard for personal safety. For hours at a time they hurl themselves along common roads at a sceed which often exceeds

a mile a minute, and from the be

ginning of the race to its end they put their limbs and lives in at least as great peril as the soldier does in battle. And they do this, not under any compulsion, but, in great part, at least, because they like the sen-' sations experienced as they fly along with death close at hand and likely to. overtake them at any instance. Of course the money reward is con siderable, especially in case of vie tory, and there is the added reward of fame of a certain rather poor and very limited sort, but the chief in centive must be a thrill of the nerves that can be obtained by these men in no . other way. Yet these rockless fellows shrink with horror at the idea of adding to their real dangers the imaginary one of having the num ber 13 painted on their cars! If this phenomenon were, not to familiar it would be vastly surprising, but the automobile races are far from alone in their terror of a number ex actly like other numbers a number for which 'iuck' has never shown either preference or prejudice. It has been connected with as many hips as mishaps, and the dislike for it is quite without foundation in history or logic. None the less it is generally banned. Few, indeed, are the doors of hotel bedrooms or of steamship staterooms that bear it, and few of the office buildings in which the own ers do not find it expedient to pretend that the floor above the twelfth is the fourteenth. Reflection upon these half-amusing, half-disgusting facts prompts. The Journal to ask: "Is it any wonder that with this senseless superstition still rampant pople should continue to think that various peculiar methods of treatment, and even nonsensi cal remedies, will relieve them of their pains and ills?" And it adds: What is needed, evidently, is not education in general, but specifio training in a state of mind and a development of character that will prevent the domination of such foolish remains of the ignorance of former generations." THE STAY-AT-HOME VOTER. According to some of the Republi can leaders and the Democratic leaders, too, there are evidences that there will be a big stay-at-home class at the forthcoming election. Wayne county has displayed the same signs that other parts of Indiana have. There is really no excuse for the stay-at-home. Business may be pressing on the farm, in the shop, in the store and in the counting room, but one of the most sacred business duties of every man is to exercise his right to the ballot. . No man or set of men has any right to criticize how a man exercises this privilege but everybody has the right to be provoked with the man who does not vote. "I'm disgusted with politics" one man says, because of the rottenness of it all." Yet he stays at home. If he believes that there are evils to correct, he should vote the way his conscience dictates, but don't stay at home. Wayne county farmers have seldom had a busier fall season than now, but every one of them can well afford with this emblem of prosperity at their very doors, to "leave off" the corn harvest for an hour or so while they vote. It has been said that Wayne county will suffer more from the stay-at-home class than any coun ty in the district, but it is hard to believe that such could well be the case. There is every reason why the farmers of Wayne county should go to the polls on November 6. Wayne county's crop of turkeys will be the biggest in the history of the poultry industry in this section, et there is every indication that the prices will be no lower. However, the average citizens cannot justly make complaint on the price of the Thanks giving bird. The farmer reaps the ben efit from the high scale of prices and the more prosperity the farmer enjoys the more everybody else shares in the general conditions that rural prosperity brings. So the turkey adds Its mite to the prosperity and whenever we think the price is too high, there are many substitutes, though none that can just fill the bill on 'inanksgivlng day. Just so long as the New Yorkers and other Eastern citizens take a stand for the Hoosier turkey, just so long will the price remain high and there will be more Wayne county birds shipped to the East this season than' will be served on the Thanksgiving dinner tables at home. If every-man who is now wearing Y. M. C. A. "boom button," will con tribute to the fund, the battle will have been won. Its time to begin thinking how much you can give toward the worthy project. If all the colder weather signs nowbeing heralded by "old timers' come true, the approaching season will be one of great joy for those who have been clamoring for an "old fashion winter."

Publishers' Press Washington, Oct. 23. The president issued a proclamation naming Thursday, November 29, as a day of thanks-. giving. The President says: "Never before in our history or in fhe history of any other nation, has a people enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than is ours, a pros perity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride and teast of all, a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibilities, but rather sober sense of our many blessings and a resolute purpose under providence not to forfeit them by any action of our own. "On our material well-beinz must bw WILL VISIT PORTO RICO ON HIS WAY TO PANAMA President Will Stop at the Island in the Hope of Creating Greater Loyalty In the People for the U. S. Government.

According to the present plans he will go to San Juan immediately after he completes his three days inspection of the great work on the isthmus.

10,000 MAY GO Oil STRIKE

10 MEN WERE DISCHARGED Machinists on the Southern Pacific May be Called Out on Account of a Few of Their Number Being Re- , leased i'n District No. 11. New Orleans, Oct. 23. It is said that as a result of the discharge of 10 machinists at the Algiers shops of the Southern Pacific railroad and because of alleged discrimination of long standing against their organization, 10,000 members of the International Association of Machinists may be called out on strike on that system within a day or two. The men affected are all in what is known aa District No. 11, extending from New Orleans to Portland, Ore. Thomas L. Wilson, a vice president of the International union, says the national officers will first endeavor to secure the co-operation of Mr. Harriman himself to have the discharged men reinstated and also try to negotiate an agreement whereby arbitrary powers of master mechanics in discharging employes without cause will be abrogated. HOME FOR BRIEF REST Congressman Watsori at Rusnvllle Taking a Respite From Duties of the Campaign. Rushville, Oct. 23, (Spl.) Congressman Watson returned home yesterday, apparently as fresh as he left here before he undertook the strenuous campaign, covering some fifteen states. In New York City a few days ago, together with Speaker Cannon he was given a grand ovation, and as has been the case all jear the news' papers gave him the lion's share of space, many of the Eastern papers predicting "big things for the big man from the West." Mr. Watson is today "enjoying" another one of those vacations at his office, literally buried in mail for he gives each letter his indivdual attention. He is obliged to turn down many flattering offers to speak and preside at large meetings throughout the country, and is, without ,a doubt, the best campaigner and most sought out man in public life today. He will speak on October 31st and November 1st in Speaker Cannon's district, and will return home after that, to finish up in his own district. OCEAN AVALANCHES Iob of tbe Great Easiiiang WTa of the Glutton Sea. There is one consolation about the two great earthquakes which destroyed respectively the two great cities of San Francisco and .Valparaiso, and that is that they raised no seismic waves to speak of. This was because the earth tremors were wholly on land and did not extend beneath the bed of the ocean. It is when this latter eventuality happens that these terrible waves are created, causing widespread havoc. For instance, it was this kind of ocean avalanche that engulfed Lisbon, with 50,000 of its Inhabitants, In 1755, and in 18S3 a submarine earthquake started in the straits of Sunda a so called "tidal" (seismic) wave that traveled twice around the globe and drowned 35,000 people. In 1891 again a - submarine earthquake threw, up a wall of water seventy feet high and more than 300 miles in length, which overwhelmed the greater portion of the Niphon islands. On this occasion 84,000 houses were swept away and 10,000 people lost their lives. Worse still was a huge wave which in 1868 wiped out of existence In a few minutes the cities of Arequipa, Iquique, Tacna and Chencba, drowning 25,000 persons and destroying property worth 60,000,000. The waters of the Pacific first retreated nearly half a mile, then rushed forward with irresistible force, so that great ships were carried far inland and there left high and dry for future generations to wonder at. At Port Royal, Jamaica, again, many houses were engulfed forty fathoms deep, with above 3,000 of their inhabitants, while about the same time an earthquake made wave so completely demolished Catania, In Sicily, that of the town and its 18,000 inhabitants not a trace remained.

A TRAINED ' NURSE

After Years of Experience, Advises Women Regard' to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue. Newark, N. J., who is a graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinic Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon. Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source. Mrs. Pohlman writes: " I am firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to use." " Immediately after my marriage I found that my health began to fail me. I became weak and pale, with severe bearing-down pains, fearful backaches ana frequent dizzy spells. The doctors prescribed for me, yet I did not improve. I would bloat after eating, and frequently become nauseated. 1 bad pains down through my limbs so I could hardly walk. It was as bad a case of female trouble as I have ever known. Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however, cured me within four months. Since that time I have had occasion to recommend it to a number of patients suffering from all forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it is considered unprofessional to recommend a patent medicine, I can honestly recommend Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for I have found that it euros female ills, where all other medicine fails. It is a grand medicine for sick women." Money cannot buy such testimony as this merit alone can produce such results, and the ablest specialists now agree that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most universally successful remedy for all female diseases known to medicine. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the female organs, that bearingdown feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excita-

He said he will not return to Cleveland until next summer. Ouster suit against the Hoster-Co-lumhus Associated Breweries company of Columbus was Instituted In the circuit court of Gallia, O. A warrant was issued at Kokomo, Ind., for the arrest of B. F. Wilkins, a wealthy farmer, charged with burning a barn and six horses of his neighbor, William Devore. Rev. Christopher J. Danigan, assistant pastor of the Church of St. John the Evangelist, who fell with the bleachers stand at a football game in Syracuse, N. Y., is dead of his Injuries. Former officials of the defunct Merchants and Farmers Bank and Trust company of Shreveport, La., were indicted, charged with having received deposits and created debts, knowing the bank to be insolvent.

bility, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone " and want-to-be-left-alone' feelings, blues and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. The needless suffering of women from diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible to see. The money which they pay to doctors who do not help them is an enormous waste. The pain is cured and the money is saved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It is well for women who are ill to write Mrs,-Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant for many years before her decease, and for twenty -five years since her advice has been freely given . to sick women.
