"WE WILL KILL YOU" SAYS MESSAGE
Young Turks Tell Mehmid Ali Bey He Is Doomed -To Death.
ENVOY IS IN TERROR.
lMAN WHO HAS REPRESENTED SULTAN IN AMERICA TURNED PALE AND TOOK TO BED WHEN HE READ MESSAGE.
Washington, Aug. 14. "If you dare ito come to New York we will kill you. The eun has risen anew in our nation. They that have dimmed the luster of Its name must die. Izzet Bey and his eon shall answer to those who love their country." This portentous message, carrying terror to the heart of Mehmid All Bey, the discredited envoy of the sultan, was received by him a few hours after the cable dismissing him as minister, end it was this decree, passed by a band of "Young Turks" in New York, that caused him to collapse Tuesday end take to his bed. The message was written on red paper with black ink, and was signed "The Avengers of Our Nation." It is said that when the paper was handed ,to him by an under secretary the swarthy face of Mehmid Ali Bey turned a ghastly white and he reeled against tha wall of the legation office as though he had received a blow, while his secretaries sprang to prevent his falling to the floor. --It was the fear of assassins that caused his father, Izzet Pasha, for 15 years the power behind the throne Of the sultan to flee from Constantinople and hide himself in some other part of the world, and even now he lives In mortal fear that the curved knife of some Turk will find a resting place in his body. Many prayers has Mehmid Bey sent lip to Allah to save him from such a fate, and many supplications has he poured forth that his once powerful parent may be spared such an end. The friends of Mehmid Ali Bey have disappeared as snow before the sun. The falling of his star of power and the advent of MunjI Bey, powerful, alert, resourceful, practically leaves All Bey and his father without a country, exiles ina strange land.
Chairman of Speakers Bureau Relieved When He Finds Watson Not Badly Hurt
Indianapolis, Aug. 14. William H. Hays, chairman of the republican speakers' bureau, was an alarmed young man last night Hays' bureau is attached to the republican state committee headquarters in the Claypool hotel. For a week Hays has been busy making bookings for James E. Watson, republican candidate for governor of Indiana. Mr. Watson was in Indianapolis yesterday morning, but Hays was out of the city and did not see him. Late in the afternoon he learned that Watson had been injured in an automobile accident in making a hurried trip from Ridge ville to Winchester. "Gosh," said Hays when he heard of the accident, "this is bad, for I've got 700 engagements for Watson in the next two months." Immediately the chairman of the speakers' bureau got busy over the telephone. The clerks in Mr. Hays' office were startled by the following remarks of their chief: "Is that you, Jim?" "Was it your back or leg?"
"Good, I'm glad to hear Itonly your head." . "Bad gash was it?" "All right then are you?" "What's that you feel like a fighting cock?" "Good for the whole campaign, are you?' "Well, that's fine, for I've got you booked for every county in the state." The chairman of the speakers' bureau sighed contentedly as he hung up the receiver. "That relieves me greatly," he observed. "I feared that Mr. Watson had been too badly injured to go on with his campaign. He says it amounts to nothing. Requests for Mr. Watson are coming in from every county. We could divide 'Jim' Watson in twenty pieces and use every piece for campaign material from now until the close of the campaign. We are going to try to place him in every county in the state if it is possible between now and the day of the election. There will be no more popular speaker in this campaign than 'Jim' Watson."

Kilbourne, Wis., Aug. 14. By the capsizing of a pleasure launch on the Wisconsin River, four Chicago people were drowned. The dead are as follows: Edward G. Pfeiffer, 193 Emerson avenue, Chicago. Ralph Pfeiffer, son of E. G. Pfeiffer, Chicago. Miss Mabel Ward, 234 East Sixtysixth place, Chicago. Mrs. W. G. Heath, 556 Seminary avenue, Chicago. The launch, containing nine persons, among them Mrs. Pfeiffer and daughter, was returning from a trip through the Dells. When near the dock the
boat got into the wake of a passing steamer and capsized. The accident was seen by many people on the dock
and bridge and rescue at once was at
tempted with boats and launches, but four sank before aid arrived. The bodies of Pfeiffer and the Heath boy
have not been recovered.

Their Tone Will Indicate What the
Weather Will Be. Church bells can serve another pur pose besides ringing you to worship
They make a good substitute for a barometer. As the atmosphere is the sqle conductor "of sound from the bell to the ear, it is obvious that the Intensity and quality of the sound as perceived by the ear will depend on the state of the medium through which It comes. For instance, if bells sound very distinctly of an evening, this points to the probability of a wet day following, since air heavily charged with moisture conducts sound better than dry air. So, too, as dense air conducts better than light air, bells sound more clearly when the barometer Is high than when it Is low, other things being equal, and so, too, with hot and cold air. These principle are familiar to all country folk living within the sound of church bells. About five miles from Lebekke, in Belgium, there are some small bells which are called "water bells." When they are heard distinctly in the town rain Is sure to follow. London Spectator.
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 14. The tax
able property in Indiana Increased in
value about $200,000,000 from 10O4 to 1907. This showing Is made in figures
just compiled by the bureau of statistics.
In 1907 the total value of the taxa
ble property in the state was $1,767,-
815,487. The increase is apparent In
every kind of taxable property assess
ed either by the state board of tax commissioners or by the county boards
of review. It is regarded as an indication that the general values have increased throughout the state during the past four years. The counties, having the largest total valuations are Marion, Allen, Vigo, Lake, St. Joseph, Vanderburg, Madison,' Tippecanoe, Grant, Delaware, Wayne and Laporte. Ohio county had the smallest valuation. Brown county had the next lowest. The total taxable property in 1907 was valued as follows: Assessed by local boards in counties Lands and Improvements, $(to,172,175; lots and improvements, 9430,428,775; personal property, $428,4rA33S. Assessed by state board of tax commissioners Telegraph, pipe line, telephone, expressand sleeping car property, $23,770,414; railroad and interurban property, $224,987,785; Total taxable property, $1,757,815,487. The assessed valuation of the land areas in the state increased in the last four years also. Not only was there a slight increase in the total number of acres assessed and an increase in the total valuation of such
lands, butthere was a jump in the average value per acre from $22.97 o $24.56, an increase of $1.59 per acre. According to Mrs. Mary Stubbs Moore, chief of the bureau of statistics, the increased valuation of lands mt.y be traced t two causes: First, the state board of tax commissioners, beeweent the years 1904 and 1907, reassessed the value of the lands. This reassessment comes every four years and usually results In an increase; second, the growth of the cities in the state has caused land that was formerly farm land, assessed on farm land basis, t o be annexed to the cities and thus assessed on the basis of city lots. The total number of acres of farm lands assessed in Indiana in 1907 was 22,403,502. That in 1904 was 22.335,29. The Increase since 1904 is C7.873 acres. The total valuation of farm land in 1907 was $350,184,796. Thta in 1904 was $513,094,456. The increase since 1904 is $37,090,340.
New York, Aug. 14. "The Episcopal church took a very high stand regarding marriage relations at the Lambeth conference which I have Just been attending in London," said Bishop David H. Greer of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York on landing from the steamer Majestic, which had brought him home from hi3 vacation trip to Europe. "Every one agreed," continued the bishop, "that if divorce was ever to be allowed, a plea Ehould rest on one ground only infidelity. The conference was split on the question whether there might be a divorce even on those grounds. 'Some contended that the marriage tie is so sacred that it should not be broken for any reason and others insisted that the church
should take a more liberal view. Of course the Lambeth conference is not
a legislative body. It is merely con
sultive, but its recommendations will
get widespread attention."

Constantinople, Aug. 14. The report that the Young Turks had demanded that the Sultan surrender one-halt of

his private fortune to aid In the
habilitation of the empire is declared here to be untrue. The discontent caused by the dismissal of large numbers of officials has Induced the Government to make an effort to effect retrenchment by reducing salaries instead of by dismissal. Consequently it has been decided that all salaries above $50 a month shall be reduced one-half.

HOT-WEATHER CONSTIPATION People should be very careful at this time of the year not to become constipated, and if they do become constipated to attend to it promptly. Many people have a special tendency to constipation in hot weather, owing to the USE sudden change in food and to the fact that the nn PMnYEI !'" c,tural moisture of the body that in winter re2 vmiD DCDC in mains within and helps to digest the food, leaves STKUr rfcPolfl the system in the summer in the form of perspiration. And as the heat taints the food and the water, a. constipated person is .apeef.lly liable to a fever disease It Is. therefore, verr important, io both yousc ud old that the constipation should be immediately relieved. The best war to do this is not. as some suppose, by eating themselves sick with fruit and making- the matter worse, nor by tak Inssalts and laxative waters, which, as all who have tried them know, give bat temporary relief; but, on the contrary, yon should use a tried-and-true remedy like Dr. Caldwell' Syrup Pepsin, which acts quickly but mildly and which relieve permanently so that a steady and lasting cure results. A bottle can be bought of any druggist, in sise of SO cent and Jl 00, and this small sum will save yon and your family a world of trouble. It is the best remedy you can tak for any summer digestive trouble. Yon are guaranteed that It will do what I claimed. It will cure the constipation, clear the head, restore your appetite and steep and make yon feel Ilk your old self again.

What "llarnir" Meant. Though the Scottish guard of France had long lost its natural character, it jealously retained until the crash of 1780 all its curious old privileges, which, though they led to constant wrangles with other regiments, had been duly allowed by Louis XIV. He was actually obliged to intervene at his own wedding to compose a dispute as to the precedence of the Scots guards and the Cent gentllshommes. "Proud as a Scotchman" was an old proverb in Prance, and their successors in the bodyguard did their best to Justify it. But the most curious survival, long after a word of Scotch" had been heard in the corps, waa the practice of answering "hamir" (a corruption for "I am here") when the roll was called, which was religiously maintained, at all events, down to the revolution.

The Better Half Indeed. An English judge recently had an inspiration. A defendant appeared too dull to make a defense or answer intelligibly quostions put to him by the Judge. Suddenly the judge said, "Where do you live?"' and the intelligible reply, "About five minutes off," was at once forthcoming. "Then just run home and fetch your wife, and run a little quicker thau you talk." It was done, and the wife's clear and businesslike statement of the facts won the day for her helpless husband.

Distances In Veaesaelaw In traveling In Venezuela it is not enough to ask how far distant a place Is, but also how far up or down in other words, what its altitude is, and, no less Important, what hills and valleys have to be crossed. Thus It is not only necessary to know that Caracas is sit miles distant in a straight line from La Guayra, its eeaport, but that it lies at an elevation of nearly half a mile above sea level and that to reach it one has to cross a mountain wall rising far above the clouds. This, to the experienced traveler, means that he must prepare for an entirely different climate. George M. L. Brown in St. Nicholas.
