SHERMAN APPEALS
10' Says That President Roosevelt's Policies Should Be Continued. ' DEMOCRATS' TASK HARD. CANNOT APPEAL TO VOTERS ON SAME GROUNDS AS, REPUBLICANS, AS THEY. HAVE NO SUCH GOOD RECORD. ", Chicago, Sept. 20. Opening the re publican campaign in Cook county bebefore the Hamilton club here last night, James S. Sherman, vice presidential nominee, began a Breech making tour which in the next two weeks will take him through Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Declaring that confidence In the business world could be maintained only by the election of a republican president and a republican majority In the house of representatives, Mr. Sherman eald that the paramount issue of this campaign related to a continuation of Mr. Roosevelt's policies. ' "Our task as republicans In this campaign, our duty as Americans," aid Mr. Sherman, "is to convince a majority of the voters that republican nnllclM. renubllcan ' enactments, re publican administration, will produce the- greatest degree of prosperity, of progress, of contentment; the fullest measure of the necessaries, the comforts, the luxuries of life; the best plane of living, of education, of clviH nation; the surest prospect of the mm a A. 1 . a. mgnest attainment. ' "Our task is easier than that of our adversaries, because we have a pro mise on which to base our argument. "We have a past to which we exultant ly point a past on which we rightful ly base predictions for the future. The only past to which our democratic brethren are to refer Is three quartan of a century gone to the history of Jefferson and Jackson; they appeal to history rather than to memory. MRS.

Apparently nearly fully convalescent from Illness covering a period of about sis months, Mrs. James McNeill, 22 South Thlrteenthstreet, was comfort ably seated In the living room of her noma last evening, listening to her hasband reading, when she was sud dealy seized with a violent attack of covghmg. She asked Mr. McNeill to assist her to the door where she could get some fresh air. Before he could carry her there she had expired. Mrs. McNeill was one of the best known residents of this city. She was Tl years of age and had been a rest dent of this city for the past thirtynine years.

Scar city of butter in Hagerstown, is large ly responsible for the action of George Petty, a farmer residing south of town, who will install a creamery plant. During the drought those farmers who have not been shipping their milk to Chicago, were unable to. furnish butter to tho residents of Hagerstown, because the pastures were dead and cows were unable to get proper food. By the installation of the creamery is thought those farmers who have en shipping their milk north, can be ndnced to sell at home and if this is case the butter scarcity In Hagersra will soon-end. - -! -' - - -

'Taft Is Coming" 'Taft Is Coming;" It was Taft too-Engineer Taft
"Taft is coming! Taft is coming!" "He'll be here! at 3:45, on train No. IS, the Chicago-Cincinnati flyer." "Hurry up there, and send word to the Republican headquarters and let them know. Hurry up." Thus it was, the announcement that Taft, the presidential candidate of the Republican party was to pass through Richmond, spread at the Pennsylvania 'station, yesterday afternoon. The word created great excitement. Every man who had a friend that could be reached by the 'phone was apprised of the fact that the Rreat Taft was going through. JuBt abont train time, a crowd of two or three hundred citizens of Richmond had gathered to greet him. The train was ten minutes late, appropriation of $10,000 for the employment of secret service men and the making of investigations and the bill ratifying the contract between Pulse & Porter, the contractors who superseded E. M. Campfield, of Richmond. On motion of Chairman Condo of the committee the bills were made a special order for 10 o'clock this morning on Becond reading. This meant that they must go over until tomorrow for third reading unless the unwilling minority should change its mind and agree to the suspension of the constitutional rules. The delay on the bills came about because the Rider bill did not meet approval of either minority or majority in the ways and means committee. Some members of the committee wished to report it for indefinite postponement. Others wished to report it for passage, with the amount reduced. A few wished to report it as passed by the senate. The hearing of .argument from Representative Lieb, of Spencer, the big tobacco county, and L. L. Brown an attorney from Lieb's own city, Rock port,, the two men taking opposite sides on the question of the need of legislation, did not tend to simplify matters in the minds of the confused committeemen. Coincident with the committee's confusion is the development of a decided sentiment In the house against appropriating of funds for the purpose asked by the governor. Most members have never taken talk of Night Riders In Indiana very seriously. Up until yesterday the only thought given the matter was that at the outset of the session, when the house republicans' program committee appointed to act jointly with such a committee from the senate republicans, reported In favor of the Night Rider matter being dropped entirely. In keeping with this feeling no bill on the subject was ever Introduced in the house, the present measure coming from the senate. To Reason For Fear. The house very readily adopted a resolution by Representative Lieb calling on the governor for information concerning the alleged depredations or threats of depredations. The governor did not make answer to the demand until Saturday afternoon when his message was reecived but not read. For that matter it never has been read. Lieb himself declares and is supported by a communication signed by twenty-four tobacco growers of Spencer county, that. Night Riders have no terrors for them. They -have brought the American Tobacco company to fair terms by peaceable pooling of their crops, they say, and the Night Rider scares emanate from the trust itself. It was representations of this character by Lieb before the Ways and Means committee that caused the division in the committee. He was answered by Brown, but, It seems ineffectively. Bribery Charges Discussed. The Kniseiy charges, against Governor "Hanly and Senator Wick wire of attempted bribery by the offer of a lucrative state position, caused a great deal of discussion about the hotel lobbies last night Some republicans were heard to express regret that the resolution prepared by house democrats were not introduced, calling for a grand jury investigation and proper punishment of the guilty parties, official or otherwise, high or low Senators Slack and Stotsenberg of the senate minority, were chiefly responsible for the charges being withheld. They convinced Honan, minority leader, that the proper sort of investigation would be one by the legislature itself. This, they showed, could not be a matter of less than a week or ten days and they did not wish to continue the session that much longer. Proh! Bill Killed. In the senate yesterday afternoon the prohibition resolution was brought out and played with for quite awhile. Senators Slack and Stotsenberg did it They signed a minority report to the effect that there being some doubt as to the constitutionality of the resolution, an opinion should be obtained from the attorney general. In support of their report democrats made fervid prohibition speeches, quite worth listening to, but provocative of mirth as far as the senate was concerned. A delegation of ministers in the senate at the time were called into the war of words and put in a very embarrassing position. Tbey made' It clear, however, that they did not favor the action of the minority, because it had found its Inspiration In politics. The last of the Vincennes University matter is believed to have been heard. With Governor Hanlys departure for the north end of the state today, his friend3 breathed a sigh of relief, lid had , saved himself a re

but it seemed like ten hours to the patiently waiting Republicans. On arrival the anxious crowd watched the Pullman cars, all the while fully expecting the presidential candidate to make his appearance. "There he Is up on the engine," some one cried and with a rush the crowd dashed pell mell for the engine expecting to tee the big form of the candidate protruding from one of the cab windows. But alas! the crowd had assembled all in vain, for it was not "Bill" but only Fred Taft, the engineer. Taft is one of. the regular engineers on No. IS, and has many friend3 in this city. It was .only a joke of the station officials. People forgot Taft is in the west.
buke from the legislature, it was believed, for there was never a chance that bis bill to repeal the act of last session .would be treated respectfully In either house. In the senate. Senator Stephenson, of Fulton county, has had prepared a resolution that embodies a stinging rebuke of the executive for his course on that measure. In the house. Chairman Edwards of the judi ciary committee, having the bill in charge has written on its cover: "Requiescat in pace."

I LE Young mirst Was Injured Near Swallows. Eddy Hurst, son of Omer Hurst, one of the wealthiest residents of Washington township, was severely injured in an automobile accident yesterday on the National road near Swallow's switch, and it Is feared he will lose the sight of one eye. Young Hurst had some trouble with his machine and while cranking it, the crank slipped from his hand, hitting him a staggering blow in the temple. The young man was brought to this city for medical attention. His condition is still serious. v ... I Was Ordered. In the biography of Prince Bismarck It Is said that when he was minister at St Petersburg he was walking one morning In the summer garden and met the czar, who invited him to join him. Presently .Bismarck noticed a" sentry stationed iu the middle of a large grass plot and asked the aid-de-camp why, who In turn inquired of the sentry. "It Is ordered," was the sentry's brief reply. Every official gave the same answer. "It Is ordered," but nobody knew by whom. A sentry had always stood guard in the middle of that Innocent grass jlot The archives were searched, but in vain. At last an aged official waa found who had been told by his father that the Empress Catherine had once seen a snowdrop ready to bloom in the spot and had ordered a sentry to stand guard and allow no one to pluck it. For more than a century the watch had been maintained because "it was ordered." and no one had ever thought of disobeying the order or of questioning the reason- why the order had been Issued.

BURNS AN

MEET IN- DECEMBER Battle for World's Championship Before the Australian Club. SHOULD BE SPLENDID BOUT CHANCES SEEM IN FAVOR OF BURNS TO WIN THE GREAT GO COLOR LINE IS FORGOTTEN BY BURNS MEN. The . announcement is made that Tommy Burns has agreed to fight Jack Johnson for tbe championship of the world. A purse of $30,000 has been guaranteed them by a syndicate of sporting men in Sydney. Australia. The men are to fight early In December. Burns has been practically forced to take Jackson on. . In England and Australia they cut out the color line, and they judge a pugilist on his merits as a fighter. When Bums came along and claimed to be a champion, or. In other words, a man who could whip any man in the world, the English sporting men thought him great stuff. But when Jobnson came over and Burns refused to meet him and left the country rather than take a chance against the big Texas negro then the Englishmen sat up and took notice. "If he is such a great fighter," they asked, "why doesn't be make a match with the colored man? He must be afraid to fight him." When Burns and his followers tried to give them the color line gag then they laughed, and they fairly laughed Tommy out of the country. They jeered his claims to championship honors, and Burns found it convenient to start for Australia. There they had seen Johnson in tlie ring, and as he bad beaten their best men they thought pretty well of him as a fighter, and when Burns arrived they were willing to see him in tryouts with the minor pugilists of the land. But when he got right down to business they asked Burns to meet Johnson or get back home to America. Tbey had no time for the color line business. A lighter was a fighter and nothing more. The "gentleman pugilist" did not go with them for a minute, and the opposition to Burns got so strong that there was nothing else for him to At but agree to fight Jobnson or lose a chance to make a lot of money in that young but very rich country. When Burns and Johnson once get Into the ring you can look for a very Interesting occasion. Jobnson has such a great advantage in height and reach and weight that he may not suffer from his usual attack of heart failure when the champion comes to him. Johnson is known as a clever boxer, and he is a big, strong fellow, but It has been charged that he is not game. TOMMY BURNS, CHAMPION HEAVYWEIOHt PCGniST. and if this is true there is no reason why Burns should not whip him and then be in reality the world's heavyweight champion. Terhaps also the defeat of Ketchel by Tapke had a lot to do with Barns' determination to face Johnson in tbe ring. Had Ketchel won at Los Angeles there would have been a chance for the big Canadian to have once more sidestepped Johnson and returned to America to fight, tb' Montana Kid. Ketchel was getting- heary and ambitions to wear the honors of heavyweight champion, and as be bad made a lot of friends through his many recent victories fight between him snd Burns would have been quite a card in the west. English Tennis Champion Coming. Cecil Fairs, who holds the professional court tennis championship of Great Britain, bavin? beaten Ted Johnson, Jr, after Peter Latham withdrew, is to come to this country next winter and play t the prominent courts.

Affairs of the Sporting World
(By Tort.) New York pulled slightly away from Chicago and Pittsburg yesterday, those teams remaining idle on account of rain while New York was giving the Quakers a trimming. Detroit also had a share of Its usual luck. Sunday the Tigers nosed ahead of - Cleveland into first place because the Naps did not have a game scheduled. Yesterday the Tigers increased their lead to four points because the Clevelands were forced to remain idle on account of wet grounds. With the assistance of the schedule maker and the weather merchant the Tigers may yet win the bunting. 'The White Sox fought desperately yesterday to keep in the running, but the Bostons held them to a tie, 2 to '2. Old Cy Young was the stumbling block for the Sox. The St. Louis Browns yesterday after winning the first of a double bill

The Richmond high school and the Earlham College football teams will clash in a practice contest Wednesday evening at 4:00 o'clock for the purpose of showing the coaches of the two teams the weak places so that they can be strengthened for the games Saturday. Earlham plays Antloch and the high school lads play a team from Ohio,, but this has not been definitely decided. The high school players have been on the war path for the past three weeks and have made excellent progress in learning fine points of the game and there is not the least doubt but that the team this year will be the best since the team of 1900 and 1901, when the fighters for the crimson and white had a reputation that reached over the entire state, and western Ohio. To Promote Socker Football. (Sua Kissinger, the Milwaukee sports- . man, who recently became interested in socker rootball, has donated a trophy, to be competed for by young baseball teams trying to break Into the old English game. In order to prevent any complaint about ringers'' two experienced players will be allowed for each team, the remainder of the members being novice.

Yesterday a diminutive fellow came into the Palladium office and asked for the "sporting editor." The stranger says he is Perry A. Wiley and claims to be champion feather weight wrestler of the Atlantic and Southern states. He bas the medal to show as the symbol of one of his honors and a gold watch inscribed as the other.Wiley claims he was a champion at 105 pounds but has taken on weight recently until now he wrestles at 115 pounds. He Is after a match and says he will challenge any 115 pounder in the country; He claims he never has been defeated and that Kaufman, Stagner, Mean well and other noted featherweights have fallen before him. He claims to have conquered Pierre Levan, the Canadian champion. Wiley is anxious to have a match arranged for him and says he can deliver the goods. He appears to be an aggressive chap and one likely to hold his own in a battle with a man of his size. Rugby In th Wsst. The prospects of a brilliant Rugby football season on tbe Pacific coast are bright this fall, for the two college teams of that section, Stanford unirersity and the University of California, are well supplied with veteran players, nearly all of their men having returned. Tbe greatest loss to the Stauford team was the entrance to Yale of Kenneth Fenton, who had been elected assistant coach of the team. Ctrroll Owen, another member of last year's team, will also go to Yale, but the rest of tbe back Held is Intact, and the cardinal players look for a long string of victories this season.

THIS THE BANNER YEAR FOR BASEBALL
,LIOSe Races for Pennants Have Drawn Great Crowds Over the Country. PROSPERITY IN LEAGUES. BOTH LARGE AND SMALL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE MADE MONEYCHAMPIONSHIPS IN DOUBT TILL. FINAL CONTEST. When the final curtain Is rung down on the ta$eball reason of 190S It will fall on the most wonderful year la all the chronicles of the national pastlmo. I -a st eeasou was said to have been the most prosperous, the most successful in every way of the annals of America's premier sport, but the j baseball season of 1903 is destined to ecllps that of 100,. although the margin may be narrow. In 1907 only one big league rave was Interesting. The other was farcical in tbe Irresistible Tunawayness" of one club. The Chicago club of the National, league secured a toe hold on first place early in the season and spent tbe remainder of its journey up pennant lane merely In pressing down the bold forging the vise tighter. A. runaway la no race, and the fans refused to slip the currency to the bot office proprietor. That was but business, for it takes money and lots of it to keep baseball at the high standard of the present day. On the other band, there was a four cornered fight In progress In tbe American league, and it waa into the fettered coffers of the junior circuit club owners that the patrons poured their shekels. Tbe baseball fans like a "boss" race, and Detroit was the gallant thoroughbred with the gameuess, the endurance and the burst of speed to breast the wire first. The American league season was a coin maker. This year there has been a grueling fight in both tbe National and the American leagues, and each Is narrowed down to a bitter finish, with more than one thoroughbred "hoss" In the dash along the stretch. These great finishes are the delight of the bugs and the bugettes, and the major league magnates are wallowing in the gate receipts. This will be tbe banner year for the big league money crops. Tbe unbounded activity, the elose races, tbe Jingle of tbe patrons silver, the general prosperity of the major leagues, all are echoed In tbe minor leagues and even in the circuits of tbe sagebrush. Baltimore and Providence engaged in a slzxlng mill for first place In the Eastern league, but In the last few weeks Baltimore palled out ahead. The club treasurers of the East era league haven't sent forth nj wails of woe. The race In the American assodatioa was a dandy, and every magnate, with the possible exception of Lennon of St. Paul, has fondled a fine bundle of legal tender as the pecuniary result of the season's doings. In proof of tbe fact that tbe present is highly satisfactory and the future brightly promising to the American association club owners has com the announcement, official and final, that there will be no baseball war next spring, and It must be admitted that tbe war clouds were lowering ominously. The Southern league has moved along Prosperity highway at a fast clip. New Orleans. Nashville and Memphis had a great tussle for tbe flag, bnt during the last week of the race New Orleans pulled out ahead. It was a great pennant race. The race In the New York State league, one of the fastest of the bush circuits, bas been very interesting all season. In the Western association Topeka won first place after a bard fight with Wichita and Oklahoma City. Last year the Wichita team bad an easier walkaway than did Chicago In the NationaL This year there was a pennant race. Prosperity did smile on the Shivery league with a warmth that was missing last season. In the West' ern league Sioux City captured the leadership after a bot fight with Omaha, the pennant being won on the last day. Tnlsa and Independence sparred valiantly for tbe top rung on tbe Oklahoma-Kansas ladder, and that thriving infant league already has finished one pennant race this season. And every where It Is the same. It would be difficult to find a league that Isn't making money. And even so It is with the Independents and the semlproa. Bah for baseball's banner year! , Pave la: lit yure to use Gold Medal Flour. Isabella.
