Takes Illinois Printer to Show Billy Sunday Few Tricks Youl Always Chicago, Sept. 19.-Evangelist Billy Sunday, once the famous outfielder of the Chicago National league team, but now one of the foremost pulpit spellbinders of the country has just paid $3,500 for a bit of experience in which a country printer in Illinois got the better of him. Sunday preached a series of revival sermons at Decatur, I1L, last winter. After he had departed, the local printer, having carefully saved the papers them in book form, first taking the tur printer has been that Sunday's sermons have been sold widley over the west, and the enterprising publisher has reaped a harvest which the exbaseball player has failed to share. Sunday hurried to Decatur to endeavor to stop the publication of the book without success. It- is stated on good authority he was considerably put out about it, and fumed not a little over what he considered an outrage; but the printer had the copyright and Sunday was helpless. Finally a meeting between attorneys representing the publisher and the evangelist was arranged, and as a result Sunday paid $3,500 for the copyright on his own sermons. nrecaution to copyrizht them.

SPEAKERSHIP RESPONSIBLE OPPOSITION OF HOUSE TO ROOSEVELT MEASURES STARTS HIM ON TOBOGGAN WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Washington, Sept. 19. Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, probably Is glad he is not the republican candidate for president. He has a whole peck of trouble on his hands trying to secure lection to the 61st congress, and were he a candidate for the higher office the opposition would be multiplied a hundred fold. Mr. Cannon expected, of course that the American Federation of Labor would try to convince the voters of the Eighteenth Illinois district that "Uncle Joe" was not a proper man to represent them in congress, but it is not likely he was prepared for the opposition of the Methodist general conference. This is not the first time that the labor unions have fought Cannon. They did it two years ago, but his constituents returned him to the 60th congress. As he has not changed his ettitude toward union labor since the last congressional election, he had no reason to expect labor had changed its attitude toward him. The Methodists are not opposing Cannon because he "cusses" as might be supposed, but because of his opposition to the bill preventing the shipment of liquor into ctates that have prohibition laws. An effort to pass -the bill at the last session of congress failed, and Cannon is bearing the brunt of the anger of the temperance people. Despite the opposition of labor and the Methodists Cannon probably will be elected, but he is not enjoying the peace and security in office which old age and long service might seem to warrant. In many ways Mr. Cannon has found , the speakership a disappointment. Itj has served to increase his fame and popularity. At the time he became speaker there probably was no more j popular man In America than "Uncle

Joe" Cannon. His unique personality i and remarkably efficient service at the head of the house committee on appropriations had made him widely .known. Cannon stories always repre sented him as a plain farmer who! loved green corn better then anything on earth except poker, who wore home spun clothes and hated luxury as the devil hates holy water. It vas not un til Cannon became speaker that the country generally learned that he was a millionaire, that he vas as familiar with the feel of broadcloth as of home j spun, and that his mode of life did not deprive wholly of the good things which money will buy. I It is not likely that the discovery of these facts seriously hurt Cannon's i fame. It was never charged that his : money had been dishonestly acquired, ! and Americans have never regarded j the mere making of a fortune as a sinful thing. It was not until some of President Roosevelt's legislative measures were defeated in the house that Cannon began to be severely criticized. Critics declared that the scheme of house organization stood in the way of progressive legislation, and though Cannon was the creaturo and not the creator of the house organization, it came to be known as Cannonism and as such was roundly denounced. For the past, year Cannon's popularity has been on the toboggan and this year will probably see the hardest fight he has e?er had to retain his seat in congress. ' ' The White house Is being gotten ready for the last winter of occupancy by Mr. Roosevelt and bis temily. Not a great deal except painting will be done. As the present Incumbents will occupy the mansion but little more than fire months, the president order ed that no extensive changes be made. He preferred that either Judge Taft or Mr. Bryan fix things up to suit himself after March 4 next Mr. Roosevelt prefers, of course, that Judge Taft be the one to have the ordering of things, but that particular preference did not enter into plans lor White House betterments. Mr. Roosevelt during tho seven years of his occupancy of the White House has caused more changes to be made in the mansion than did any of his predecessors. There has been some criticism in congress of White House expenditures, but no visitor to the White House can deny that the changes have been for the better. The question of a new form of government for the District of Columbia has finally broken Into politics. The District democratic association favors one-man rule and argument for legislation providing such a government was heartily cheered at a recent meeting. The Washington Post has been conducting a vigorous campaign tgalnst the present commission government and has succeeded in storing up a lot of sentiment on the subject. -While it is well known the Post's Interest In the matter is not wholly unselfish, idea of a government headed by a governor Instead of three commissioners seems to be popular. The Post took op the crusade for a change as a result of the gas fight of last winter. John It. McLean, who owns the Post, also controls the gas supply of the Dis trict end the present commissioners made things exceedingly warm for the gas company. Mr. McLean's newspaper Immediately began to criticize the commlssioneds personally, and to advocate that they be legislated out of fice. ..

Bachelors Pass on Qualifications of 38 Pretty Wichita Stenographers

Wichita, Kas., Sept 19. Walter Barney, secretary of the Randlett Bachelors' club of Randlett, Okla., is in Wichita looking up the records of 38 lady stenographers here, who have recently expressed their willingness to surrender their positions to accept matrimonial proffers from members of the Randlett Bachelors' club. Barney is "official examiner" of the A CLUB Young Republicans of Webste Township Hold Enthus.iastic Meeting. LOCAL MEN SPEAK. The Webster Township Young Men's Republican Club was organized with twenty-eight members last evening at a rousing meeting held at the town hall at Webster. There were nearly one hundred people at the meeting, about a fourth of the number being women. Before tfce opening of the meeting the Seventh Ward Drum corps of this city paraded the town. Ray K. Shiveley of this city opened the meeting by explaining the manner in which the Young Men's Republican club of this city had been organized and its plan of promoting similar organizations all over the county. Charles Harris acted as temporary chairman of the meeting, while DeWitt C. Jay acted as temporary secretary. After Mr. Shiveley's address the club was organized and the following officers elected: Charles Harris, president; Smith Crow, vice president; William Flattey, secretary; Clement Palmer, treasurer. Perry J. Freeman closed the meeting with an address in which he briefly outlined the true meaning of the plank In the republican platform on county local option. His remarks were enthusiastically received. Twenty-five of the new members will attend the Crumpacker meeting in this city next Thursday evening. R. O. Leeds, P. J. Freeman, Milton Elrod and R. K. Shiveley were the local men attending the meeting. PRECEDENT BROKEN BY FOOTBALL MEN High School Lads Report on a Saturday. Yesterday for the first time in the history of Richmond high school athletics the foot ball candidates reported for practice on a Saturday afternoon. There were some 15 men, in suits and they were sent through practice In punting, drop kicking and other essential points of the game. It was surprising even to the coach himself that so many men answered the call and was gratifying to find that so mapy took interest in having a good team. Mr. C. W. Knouff the new principal was on the grounds during the practice and was very much pleased with the way the boys are giving attention to the athletics. MANY INQUIRIES. Many inquiries are being made at the post office in regard to the civil service examination that is to be held at the Richmond postoffice November 18 for clerks and carriers. A large number are expected to take the examination. Mistress Bridget It always seems to me that the crankiest mistresses get the best cooks. Cook Ah, go on wid rer blarney I Town Topics.

St Louis Pastor Tells Bashful Lovers Art of Love Making

St. Louis, Sept 19. Are you bashful? Do you stammer when you try to tell a pretty girl that you love her to death? Do you change color, fumble with t your hands, cough squirm and finally "skidoo" when the critical moment comes? If you belong in any of these classes you should have been at the Shaw M. E. church tonight and heard Rev. John Worsnop of the Grand avenue church give "tips on love, beau, bells, and wedding bells. His purpose was to teach the young idea a few things worth while on the gentle art of pop-

club, and upon his report depends the fate of these willing office girls. The club was organized six months ago, and has 38 members who mean business. They advertised for wives, and received 6,00 answers, but those of the Wichita stenographers sounded the best of all. The names of the young ladies will be kept secret until their qualifications are passed upon.

PEOPLE WORN BY FIGHTING FIRES Several New York Towns Ask Assistance. New York, Sept 19. Dispatches from points in the northern part of this state, from various Maine cities and from Montreal and Ottawa in Canada, Utica and nearby towns and from Michigan bring news of forest fires raging unchecked on account of the long drought and present lack of rain. Property worth millions of dollars and several lives have already been lost, and unless rain comes soon it is feared that the loss will be enormous. Smoke palls cover a half dozen states, reaching even to this city. Inhabitants of the devastated sections are worn out fighting the continuous blaze, and help is being asked from towns and cities many miles from the scenes. MINISTER SHOT ON PENNSY TRAIN How It All Happened, No One Knows. Philadelphia, Sept 19. The Rev. B. Bellamor, said to be pastor of a Syrian church in Scranton. is in the Hannemann hospital with a bullet wound in his right arm. He was shot while asleep in the chair car of a Pennsylvania railroad train from Washington to this city. He had visited the Turkish embassy in Washington. The story told by Mr. Bellamor is that he entered the car at Washington. After riding for some distance he went into the dining car and ate a meal. Then he returned to his seat and fell asleep. He was awakened by a sharp pain in his arm, and opening his "eyes he saw blood running down his wrist The strange feature of the occurrence is that no one on the train heard the sound of a shot and that the window by the seat of Mr. Bellamor occupied was not broken. Mr. Bellamor says he did not carry a revolver and no weapon was in his clothing when he entered the hospital yet there is a bullet in his arm. CROWDS ATTEND THE FLOWER SHOW Display of Whitewater School Interesting. Large crowds went to the Garfield school last evening to view the third annual flower show of the pupils of the Richmond public schools held Saturday under the auspices of the Aftermath society. The display from the Whitewater school which won the school board prize of $15 for the best display excited much interest Joajtxa: Gold Medal Flour ia real economy. PSCDENCK ping the question. It was a kind of a "first aid to the bashful" lecture, full of ideas telling the proper time to tell "her the story of your life."

Many beaux and belles who are waiting to hear the chime of the wedding bell heard the reverend gentleman's discourse. Probably there were some there who have been humming "Waiting at the Church," because'the steady didn't hare nerve enough to say "Will

MINISTERS WILL URGE THAT BILL BE PASSED IMMEDIATELY VISIT TO BE PAID TOMORROW. Shelbyvllle, Ind., Sept. 19. That Governor Hanly's appeal to the Methodist ministers was not made in vain, was seen here today when the Indiana conference with its 30O ministers, voted to go to Indianapolis on Monday in the interest of county local option. The Rev. George D. Wolfe, pastor of Fletcher avenue church, Indiana polis made a motion that the conference visit the state legislature in a body next Myiday. The conference at once voted to go at such time on Monday as is convenient, and a committee was appointed to arrange for the trip. The ministerial army, when it reaches the capital, will try moral suasion on the legislators in the hope that a county local option bill will be passed without de'ay. A telegram has been sent to the general assembly, urgently asking in the Interest of moral righteousness that the county unit local option bill be passed at the present session. The conference was enthusiastic in this action. The cabinet of the conference is busy at work, and an effort is being made to adjourn early on Monday.

FAVORABLE ACTION IS NOW EXPECTED ON COUNTY OPTION (Continued From Page One) other words they believe Ratliff went over to the "drys" for fear his alliance with the "wets" would mean his defeat at the November elections. The many business men, shop employes, laborers, and other citizens who have been silently opposed to the passage of. a county local option law, shrugged their shoulders and remarked, "Just as I said, Ratliff would come down off his high horse and line up for the bill." Local saloonists heard of RatlifTs action with much gnashing of teeth, and with statements that they would vigorously oppose his reelection to the legislature. "The temperance people outgeneraled us," bitterly remarked one of the most, vigorous and influential opponents of county local option last evening. "While temperance people were bombarding Ratliff with delegations, letters and telegrams urging him to vote for the county local option bill, local opponents of this measure Remained dumb and as far as Mr. Ratliff was concerned he could not be blamed if he thought all the "wets" In the county were dead or asleep. I think he made a great mistake in going over to the temperance ranks. Had he stood pat he would have received next November a big republican vote and hundreds of democrats would also have supported him." OHIO SENATOR WILL NOT SPEAK . BEFORE CLUBS (Continued From Page One.) enough money to be of very material assistance, but for the 6ake of having the paper in friendly hands, I was willing to advance a part of it. I applied to a number of friends to see if they would not make up the balance of the amount. Among others I applied to the Standard Oil company. They first agreed to loan to the newspaper company when purchased and reorganized, $35,000, according to my present recollection, the same to be secured by stock of the newspaper company. Deal Not Carried Through. "Somebody who was expected to go into the enterprise dropped out and j that made it necessary for all the oth- j era to increase the amounts they were ; proposing to advance. At the request j of my friend I asked the different parties to Increase their advances and thereupon the Standard Oil company did accordingly increase their amount from $35,000 to $50,000 and sent me the letter with the certificate inclosed as stated. It was thought at that time that the transaction would be lmmediately closed, but there was a delay . of a few days, and at the end of that delay the whole transaction fell to the j ground because other people had stepJ ped in and purchased the property, j Thereupon I returned the draft to the Standard Oil company.

"I do not remember to have received the letter relating to the bill intrornced by Senator Jones of Arkansas, Lat whether I received it or not it had no reference to any employment of any kind from the Standard Oil company or anybody else; nor did the letter about Smith Bennett and Judge Burkett, read by Mr. Hearst at Columbus, have any reference to any employment.
