LOOKS LIKE BRYAN Jeffersonville Man Gets into All Kinds of Trouble In New York. LIFE MADE STRENUOUS. ASKED TO MAKE SPEECH, LOSES SLEEP AND HAS HAT CRUSHED WHEN DEMOCRATS MAKE RUSH TO 8HAKE HIS HAND. New York, Aug. 24. Dr. David Coombs Peyton, of Jeffersonville, Ind., president of the Indiana State Medical association, got a hair-cut in the Hoffman House Sunday. Dr. Peyton also eaid to the barber: "You need not shave my upper Hp today, I'm going to grow a mustache." Then Dr. Peyton got Into a closed cab, and, notwithstanding the heat, pulled down the curtains and told the ; driver to break all records driving to the nearest railroad station. One Dr. Feyton thought it was a joke because be is a remarkable double of Wm. Jennings Bryan, but after being routed out of a New Haven train coming from Boston to New York at midnight, pushed to the back platform, cheered and asked to deliver a fepeech. Dr. Peyton thought it was time to change his looks. Dr. Peyton would not have worried bo much over the loss of sleep, but today he was caught in the Cafe Martin, and a score of men Insisted on shaking itoands with him. V During the excitcment Dr. Peyton, lost a watch, and that was too much hence the hair-cut and ja new mustache. "While the Indiana doctor was trying jto escape from the Hoffman House he iwas found by several enthusiastic deruIccrats on their way to attend the democratic committee meeting In the Vlcjtorla "Hotel, and, before he could prove lie was not William Jennings Bryan, lie had his straw hat broken. "I am a Bryan democrat," explained Dr. Peyton. "I like Mr. Bryan and ihave entertained him, but I can't carry around any- more of his trouble on my shoulders. He seems to have too many friends in New York, so I'm going back home, where folks know who I am. "It so happens that Mr. Bryan and I are the exact age and the Game height and weight. I must look like him, for" the folks oa the New Haven train I think, put Mr. Bryan down as a terrible liar when I insisted I was not the real article. "I would like it much better If people could mistake me for having the trains of Mr. Bryan, rather than being like him ini looks. Anyhow, I'm going home, minus a fob, the loss of a breakfast, a straw hat and some eleep." I M.I.GRAND COUNCIL MEETSJHIS WEEK Conzaga Club Will Be Represented by Henry Nuechter.

ROOSEVELT NEVER STOLE BRYAN'S IDEAS SAYS MEYER (Continued F.Dra Page One.) day here and had a chat with Mr. Taft regarding conditions in Cuba. That the people of Cuba are quali fied for self-government is the positive assertion of Governor Magoon. He said the complicated election law which has just been put into practice in the islands was a rigid, but success ful test of Cuban intelligence. The Cuban people, he indicated, are heartily in favor of Government own ei-ship of public utilities. They now own the telegraph lines, and the test of the popular will, which has just been made on the question of private concessions for telephoneNlines, he believes has demonstrated their desire for Government ownership. The concession of this company ex pires in 1910, whereupon the telephone lines and plant of the company in that city will revert to the Cuban Gov ernment. Governor Magoon left last night for Oyster Bay, where he will see the President on Tuesday. - CARD OF THANKS. I wish to thank my friends and the citizens in general for their kindly feeling and expressions in regard to the accident that befell Thos. Long. I deeply regret it. However, I feel justly relieved that everyone seems "nk as I do, that the accident was . r.dable. I did everything I could l fur him and met all burial expenses. 1 extend to the surviving relatives my .heartfelt sympathy, i S. W. BRICKER.

READABLE, BUT IT CAN'T BE PRINTED Merle Campbell, Co-respondent, Makes Denial. Merle Campbell, named as co-respondent in the divorce suit of Hazel Carter against Prank Carter, presented to the newspapers this morning, a statement purporting to be her real opinion of Mrs. Carter. This statement is most interesting reading, but it cannot be confided to the public through the columns of the Palladium for various reasons principally legal ones. The substance of Mrs. Campbell's statement is to the effect the charges made by Mrs. Carter is a case of the kettle calling the skillet black. In conclusion Mrs. Campbell states: "It is a mistake that I was ever in the company, of Charlie Carter, for I never was in my life. Mrs. Carter has the wrong woman. Thought She tnew Him. A short time ago a surgeon had three leg amputations in a week. The unusual number caused talk ia the surgeon's household, and his little daughter Dorothy was greatly interested. A few days after the last operation the surgeon's wife and little Dorothy were rummaging the attic. In a trunk was found a daguerreotype depicting a girl about eight years of age. The portrait, through a peculiarity of pose, showed only- one leg of the subject, the ether being doubled under her. "Whose picture is that, mamma?" asked Dorothy." "Mine. It was taken when I was a child not much elder than you are now." "DM you know papa then?" "No, dear. Why do you ask?" "I thought maybe you did, 'cause you've only got one leg.

gfegiji' life: 17 THROWN UNDER CAR Robbers, Angered at Woman's Resistance, Pitch Her Headlong to Death. ONE ARREST WAS MADE. New York, Aug. 24. Two highwaymen, bent on robbing a well dressed woman at Ninetieth and Amsterdam streets early today, became infuriated when she screamed and offered resistance and they hurled her in front of a trolley car. As the car crushed the life out of her the men fled. A car barn employe named Dunn has been arrested on suspicion. A handbag containing a few dollars was dropped by a fleeing robber in a nearby saloon. A Nice Point. The ethics of the difference between the professional opinion of a paid ad vocate and the honest conviction of a learned man were set forth by a well known English barrister who died re cently. It was a case of murder, and the client and counsel were closeted together. "Smith," said the barrister. "of course I know you didn't murder the man; but, as a matter of fact, did you do it with the butt end of a revolver or with a stick?" "Sir," said Smith, "I swear I am innocent" "I know that perfectly well, but you must tell me, for if you did it with a revolv er I shall say to the prosecution, 'Produce the stick,' and if you did it with a stick I shall say, 'Produce the revolv er. " The client pausod and scratched his head meditatively. "It was the butt end of a revolver, sir." "That's right," said the counsel. "I think I can get you off now." LED TO RIOT AND MURDER. ;ts
SOLDIERS WILL BE ROYALLY RECEIVED Two Grand Military Balls Are Planned for Uncle Sam's Men Who Come Here. FUNDS TO Y. M. B. C.
MONEY DERIVED FROM DANCES TO BE USED IN FURTHERING INTERESTS OF CLUB COMMITTEE MEETS TONIGHT. The Young Men's Business club of Richmond is planning to give Uncle Sam's fighting men of the Tenth Infantry such a good time when they come here, that it will be a long time before they forget Richmond. The entertainment committee for the Fall Festival is now planning for the entertainment of the soldiers and it has about decided to give two dances at the coliseum, one for the privates and non-commissioned officers, and one for the commissioned officers. J The vice president of the club has written to Col. Greene of the Tenth, asking him if this arrangement will be satisfactory, and it is expected he will send his acceptance within a day or two. It has been suggested that the first evening the regiment is in the city, a dance be given at the Coliseum for the privates and non-commissioned officers. All of them in uniform would be admitted to the Coliseum' free of charge. The general public would be charged probably oO cents admission. The lure of the olive drab uniform would be sufficient to pack the big building to its capacity, it is thought. On this date there will be hundreds of out of town people in the city and they will probably all want a chance to see how Uncle Sam's fighters perform on the ball room floor. The committee plans to give a ball at the Coliseum on the following night for the commissioned officers of the regiment. This would be one of the social events of the season and it is expected that another large orowd would be attracted. It has been suggested that the price of admission to this event be placed at $2.50. The entire proceeds of the two dances would go Into the funds of the club, and the lo cal public would not begrudge this en terprising organization all the finan cial gain it could reap from the two dances as it is known the money would eventually be expended for the good of the community. There will be a meeting this even ing at the city building of the finan cial committee of the Fall Festival and the committee will devise ways and means of raising money to carry out the plans of the club. Secretary Ed Harris will go to Day ton this week to attend the fall festival there. He expects to get many good ideas to be used for the local fes tival. UNCLE SAM NOT BALKED BY GREAT TASK IN PANAMA (Continued From Pag" One.) dynamite were used per month, and to make tho dirt fly to this extent thir ty-two ninety-five ton steam shovels. thirty-seven seventy ton, ten forty-five ton and twenty-four others,' were in constant use. "A total of 4,146 cars and 302 loco motives moved this mass to the dumps. A fleet of 18 barges, 15 dred ges and 31 other vessels weret work in the dredging service. On April 30 last, 26,118 men were actually at work for the Isthmian canal commission and 7,075 at work for the Panama rail road a total of 33.193." In speaking of the morale of the service the report says: "From the outset we were strongly impressed by the spirit of good will ,and loyalty of the employes inspired through the accessibility of the chief engineer, Colonel George Goethals, to I all complainants, and his prompt invest ie-ntinn in ncrsnn nr hv donntv nf all complaints made." Urges Wage Revision. A revision of the wage schedule would work to advantage, the commission finds. The report deals with this subject as follows: "The wage schedule should be simplified, the grades reduced in number and the same pay and hours required for similar service for the Isthmian canal commission and the Panama railroad. Much cause for existing complaints would be eliminated by the above mentioned changes." The commission dwells at length on the difficulty of holding skilled workingmen at the isthmus and says that the wages paid are but 10 per cent higher than the wages paid on building construction work in the city of New York. It recommends that no reductions be made. Regarding the number of hours the employes should be asked to work, the report says: "It is proper to record that we found the eight-hour law faithfully enforced in the entire service of the Isthmian canal commission." As to Investigating and disposing of complaints with the workmen, etc., the commission reports: . A labor secretary to the commission should be appointed, whose duty it shall be to investigate complaints in relation to conditions of employment, subsistence and accommodations, and to report thereupon to -the chairman of the commission.

"Why mother, what's the matter?" asked her daughter. "Gee I guess there is something doing down here all right said Station Master Mayhew, for I can hardly see. Somebody stung me one in the eye with a hand full of rice. A closer look near the scene of the commotion disclosed old shoes, tin cans, stream ers and signs reading "For we are married now" adorning the trunks and valises of Omer Sands, a well known young man, and his newly made wife, who was Miss Nellie Grube. Miss Grube was the bookkeeper at Feltman's shoe store and it was pre sumed that she had left on a vacation The vacation promises to be a lengthy one so it will be necessary for Mr. Feltman to secure the services of a new bookkeeper. GREEN THE BEST COLOR. Saves the Eyes and the Temper, Syi a London Doctor. "If the whole of London were painted green It would have a wonderful effect upon the health and spirits of us Londoners," said one of London's leading specialists. "Eyesight and health are mdst closely connected, and among town dwellers eyesight is steadily deteriorating. Green is one of nature'6 cures for worry and fatigue. Watch a man who Is worried or tired out and see how often be will wander to a window from which he can gase on a tree In leaf. Instinctively his eyes seek the restful green of the foliage- A great deal of the good obtained from a visit to the country is from the incessant environment of the green fields and green leaves. "A green room, too, is a splendid thing. I know of a case of a popular actress who could never understand why It was that in a certain room in her house she could always rest so much better than in any other one. She mentioned the fact to me one day,and I pointed out to her that the paper and furniture were entirely green." London Mirror. Sounds Fish Make. The horse mackerel, or scad, Is said to grunt Purring noises are heard from the cuckoo gurnard when it is being removed from the water. The herring, again, is said to emit a faint squeak when the net has been drawn over it, and there are other fishes which are credited with vocal powers. Most certain of all is the case of the little creature known to many a shrimper and fisher boy as the hummer, or hard head (Cottus seorpius), the sea bullhead, which when held in the hand near to the ear produces so distinct a buzzing noise that It cannot only be heard, but felt, since the vibration caused by the sound is perceptible by the hand. It seems to be the result of fear and comes apparently from the inside of the huga head. Londen News. A Woman's Reason. "Of all the foolish reasons girls give for wishing to marry, or rather not to remain single," said Miss Afternoon Tea. "I think 'because she wants Mrs. on her tombstone Is the most inane. Why should she want It there where she cannot see It? I would rather have Mrs. on my visiting cards than on my tombstone, wouldn't you, Clarice?" - "Yes. dear, and that reminds me. I asked Jane Smiley yesterday why she was marrying so much sooner than she intended when I last saw her. She said, 'Oh, my visiting cards are almost gone, sad I do not care to order another hundred of these, so I am hurrying up getting my new name to have engraved on them." St. Louis Times.
