COURTS DEAL

LT HARD BLOW fndlanapoiis, Ind., Oct. 6. Tom Taggart'B gambling interests at French Lick suffered two Bevere blows today. One came in a decision of the supreme court, tVf other from the appellate cour. .'iie appellate court denied the petition of the French Lick and West Baden hotel companies for a rehearing on that court's decision that an action can be maintained against the companies to forfeit their charter because of alleged gambling in connection with the hotels. Judge Buskirk of Orange county, had thrown the attorney general's cases, attempting to forfeit the charters out of court. The decision means that immediate trial may be had. The supreme court overruled the decision of Judge Buskirk in quashing ten indictments against men alleged to have visited gambling houses in French Lick Springs. Buskirk had held that the place of gambling had not been properly described and that the indictments were insufficient. The supreme court held the indictments sufficient. Don't Say Cologne. ' She sprinkled eau de cologne liberally in the bath of pink marble. "It is this perfume,' she said learnedly, "which makes us think that the town of Cologne must be scented. Jobann Maria Farlaa invested 200 years ago in Cologne a perfume made of the oils of neroll, citron, bergamot, orange and rosemary. He called the perfume after his city, eau de Cologne water of Cologne. By the same token, had he been a Londoner, he'd have called It can de London. In that case the illiterate would now think London a scented city, and instead of saying correctly, 'Put a few drops ef perfume oa my handkerchief,' they would say, 'Put a few drops of London on It.' In fact. It la a very vulgar and silly error to call all perfumes cologne. You might aa well call them Chicago or Denver." New York Press. No Satisfaction. The Editor Eh, what's wrong?

The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the Board of Directors of the Commercial Club heartily approves of the effort of the South Side Improvement Association to obtain the location of the Rahn-Carpenter factory in Richmond and wish them every sucdisa. Joo Jefferson Found Out. The late Joseph Jefferson once received a cable dispatch from his son Thomas, who was in London, asking his father to remit to him 100. The father was doubtf nj, and so he wired back, "What do you want it for?" . Back came the answer, "For Tom." This so tickled the old man that the money was forthcoming. v The Drummer and the Oukoe. A commercial traveler got Into the same railway carriage with the Duke of Northumberland and the Duke of Argyll and conversed with them freely, not knowing who they were. The Duke of Northumberland got out at Alnwick, where a handsome equipage was in waiting. The traveler said with surprise, "I'll bet you that's some big nob we've been talking to." "It is tho Duke of Northumberland," said Argyll. The traveler stared after the equipage in amazement. "By gums!" be said at last "Who'd have thought that a duke would have talked to two little snobs like ua?"

POLICE LOOK FOR ALLEGED FORGER

Gorge Bailey Said to Have Passed Worthless Check. The police department is looking for a certain George Bailey. This particular George Bailey is accused of passing a fraudulent check on the grocery firm of Gruening & Eiclihorn, South Thirteenth and E streets. The aforesaid Mr. Bailey is alleged to have gone to he grocery and purchased provisions amounting in value to about $1.50. He gave in exchange a check for $12.50 drawn against the First National bank. The check was accepted and Bailey was given the change. Later suspicion arose and the bank was telephoned to. Then it was learned Bailey had no account there and bis check was a fraud. Where tho Octopus Abounds. "The rocky coast of Brittany," said a life guard, "abounds in octopus, the pleuvre, as they say down there." "Walk a Breton beach at low tide the beach of St. Lunaire, for instance and you will easily find in a half mile a score or more of perfect cuttlefish of those friable white bones that birds love. "They are from six inches to a foot or more in length, snowy and very prettily shaped. They make nice ash trays. The peasants gather them for bird food, for ash trays and also, I believe, for cisrarette cases. "They are bones of the octopus, and their abundance Is a convincing proof of the octopus in those rock strewn waters of France." Boston Post. Didn't Mind Suspense.

LY ISSUES CHALLENGE Gives Thos. R. Marshall Ten Days to Reply to People Of the State. CONCERNS OPTION APPEAL. WANTS TO KNOW WHAT DEMO CRAT WOULD DO IF ELECTED IF REPEAL SHOULD BE PRE SENTED FOR HIS SIGNATURE. Crawfordsville, Ind., Oct. 0. Governor Hanly, addressing a large audience in Music Hall here last night, issued a challenge to Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic nominee for governor, and gave him ten days in which to reply to the people of the state. The governor read a bill he prepared for repaal of the county local option law. Explaining his challenge, Governor Hanly Said: "It is due to you that Marshall should explain his position now. If you permit him to wa't until after the election his explanation njjiy come too late. I have hit udou a plan by which I can afford him an opportunity to see a bill in which the people of Indiana will be profoundly interested. I want him to read it. and then I want him to take ten days to consider it. At the end of the ten days I want him to say as an honest man. worthy of the suffrages of a free people,- will he sign it or will he veto it? It is such a brief bill that he ought to be able to make t'p his mind in less than ten days. "I want him to say," continued the governor, with increasing warmth, "what he would do with that particular bill if it should pass the legislature and come to his desk for action. Would he sign it or would he veto it? Let him tay yes or no. Let him no longer hide behind the subterfuge of a coward." The governor scored the Lieber-Fair-banks' brewer lobby unmercifully. He declared that A?bert Lieber, a ellknown Indianapolis brewer, called years ago and served notice on him that if the Moore temperance law was enacted he would see that a legislature was elected that would repeal it. Lieber and his forces, tried to defeat county local option, but failed. LANCASTER WINS IN HORSE SHOW Gets Blue Ribbon for His Work Team L. King Second.

Doctor Doane was demonstrator at a clinic which bad under advisement a patient suffering with a carbuncle of unusual proportions. In a burst of scientific rapture the demonstrator delivered something In the following vein: "Perfect specimen! Perfect specimen! I never saw one superior. A beautiful inflammation. There Isn't that a gem?" The unhappy victim raised his hands In protest. "Enough!" be gasped. "Hell Is full of joy like yours." He Was Willing to Oblige. A young North Carolina girl Is charming, but, like a great many other charming people, she is poor. She never has more than two evening gowns in a season, and the ruin of one of them is always a serious matter to her. She went to a little dancing party last week and she wore a brand new white frock. During the evening a great big, red faceu. perspiring man came up and asked her to dance. He wore no gloves. She looked at his well meaning but moist hands despairingly and thought of the immaculate back of her waist. She hesitated a bit, and then 6he said with a winning smile: "Of course I'll dance with you, but. If you don't mind, won't you please use your handkerchief?" The man looked at her blankly a moment or two. Then a, light broke over his face. "Why, certainly," he said. And he pulled out his handkerchief and blew his nose. Ladies' Home Journal. Benton and Calhoun. A short time after Calhoun's death, a friend said to Benton. "I suppose. Colonel, you won't pursue Calhoun beyond the grave?" to which he replied: "No. sir! When God Almighty lays His hand upon a man, sir, I take mine off, sir." Never Again. One day a learned judge was listening to a case that had been appealed from one of the lower courts. The young lawyer who appeared for the appellant was long and tedious; he brought in all the elementary textbooks and quoted the fundamental legal propositions. At length the judge thought it was time to make an effort to close the argument. "Can we not assume," be said suavely, "that the court Itself knows a little bout the law 7" That's the very mistake I made in the other court," answered the lawyer, "and I don't want to let it defeat me twicer There Is no medtctee se cere aad at tne same time so pleasant to take as Dr. C&ldweU's Syrup Pepsin, the positive core for an diseases arisina ovin W3IHICD inmw. i am price la wry reaa

FUNERAL HELD LAST SUNDAY Last Rites Over Daniel Bradway at Stranghn, Ind. Straughn. Ind., Oct. C The funeral of Daniel Bradway, who died at Paris, 111., took place Sunday afternoon from the Christian church, Rev. Hoeffer officiated. The burial was in the cemetery at Lewisburg. Young Bradway was taken serious sick several weeks ago at Paris, In., and all medical aid failed to relieve the 1 patient. He is survived by his aged father, two brothers, Franz, of Indian - apolis. and Owen, of Columbus, and a sister, Mrs. wnnam uarnes, or xsew Castle, Social Distinctions. At noontime when the twenty odd men employed ou the excavations for a new building stopped work for lunch eon a man who had been interested in their progress noticed that they separated into little groups. Upon inquiry he found that the reason for this clan nishness was a class distinction as rigidly observed as in society Itself. Driver frateruized with driver, engineer with engineer, shoveler with 6hoveler. "You fellows don't seem to be very good mixers," the man remarked. '"No," said the operutor of a steam drill; "we don't mix while on a job, at any rate. Somehow tach fellow naturally falls In with other men In his own line. We get along better thct way."

From the prairies, the mines and the mills, from the forests, the cotton plantations, tobacco fields, orchards and vineyards, from the oil fields and meat pack fag houses, from the grimy factories, large and small, ponderous engines of steel, harvesters, reapers, automobiles, bars of silver aud yellow bricks of gold, bales of cotton and wool and hides and tobacco, meats, barrels of flour and boxes of fruit, hogshead of oil and casks of wine tens of thousands of thingi and machines to make things piled up on the wharf by the acre. And still all night the teams clattered in and the tugs pujfed up with the barges, and from hundreds of miles away the trains j were rushing hither, bringing more j boxes aud barrels and bags to be i packed lu at the last moment. In gangs at every hatchway the 400 men were trundling, heaving, strain ing, a rough crowd, cursing aud Joking at the bourse shouts of the foreman, while from the darkness outside heavy black rope nets dropptd down to gather gigantic handfuls of cargo, swing them back up to the deck of the ship j and then down into her hold.

Everybody's, HUNTING WILD HORSES. How Brumbies New South Wales Ar- Trapped ancJ Broken. TT.,ntw "hmmhiAs " the wild Qorses an cal!ed there ,s favorite sport la New Soutn Wales. Districts iike the clarence and Stephens and Manning river watershed are still the home of numerous droves of brumbles, and hunting them is declared to be a very exhilarating pastime. The ! first step taken la to stake out a corral j and make all secure except a narrow entrance, which can subsequently be gated. On either side of the entrance and projecting from it funnelwise a "booby fence" is prepared. To the simple minded brumby it presumably looks like a stockade, and pieces of fluttering cotton make it look Impregnable. When this Is ready, the young bloods, well mounted, gallop out and round up the wild horses, driving them with shouts and much loud snapping of stock whips toward the mouth of the funnel. In a group of brumbies there is always a leader, and when once the hunters have got the leader heading for the corral they are pretty certain of the rest of the drove. The fluttering cotton rags of the sham fence are sufficient to deter the brumbies from breaking through the flimsy barriers, and in less time than it takes to tell the wild horses are safely corralled and the big gate shut on them. Then thev are left for four and ! twenty hours without food and water to reflect on the situation, and after 1 that they can be broken in without j much difficulty. London Standard.

He was not a maker, but a ebaper. Dr. Gould puts the matter bluntly when he says. "He had no original thing to say. for he was en - tirely without creative power and had always to borrow theme and plot.' And again: "Clearly and patently it was a mind without creative ability, spring or the desire for It It was a mind Improcreant by inheritance and by education, by necessity and by training, by poverty Internal and external." The truth In these words becomes evident when one recalls the failure as fiction of every one of Hearn's attempts in this field and the fact that his greatest successes were won In reclothing the ideas of other men. Forum. Very Clever. They tell a story In London of a certain peer who had never before shown the slightest interest in horse racing that he surprised a young man of his acquaintance by asking him apropos of nothing which horse had won the Derby.

HOW TEAMS SIZE" UP Reports of Football Conditions at Many Big Colleges.

QUARTER, YALE'S PROBLEMPrinceton Has Good Nucleus Opt! mitm at Harvard Chicago Strong. Outlook Dubious at Pennsylvania, Cornell, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The football season of 1908 for the big colleges of the east and west baa now begun, and from now on until the snow files, or later perhaps, the pigskin chasers will be in the limelight. This season was ushered in with condittons less chaotic than have prevailed at any time since the adoption of the uew ru!e8 aild the coaches of the big elevens bare something more definite ' to work on. The possibilities of the i nw iratr.r are thorouehlv anDreciated. and definite campaigns can be mapped out at the start of the season. As was to be expected, the Carlisle Indians opened the season for the big teams. These players are the chief advertising medium of the government school at Carlisle, Pa., and as they have little else to do besides play football they are always in good form weeks before any other prominent eleven. While it is difficult to predict the strength of football at this early stage of the year, the reports of conditions at the various big universities should prove of considerable help. At Yale the main problem is In de-' veloping a quarter to fill the place of Tad Jones. The ends will be weak, but the main work will be picking a quarter. Hopkins of the freshmen team, Bingham, second substitute ou the varsity, and KUpatrick, former Andover halfback, seem to be the strongest men at present. Captain Burch will play right end. Haines, star end and drop kicker of the freshmen; Mersereau, tackle on the same, and Logan, a "sub" on the varsity, are the most valuable candidates for left end. For tackles Andrua and Ilobbs are the best material. Both of these men played on the second team all season last year. For guards Greenough of the fresh men and Cooney and Goebel. last year's varsity regulars, will fight it out for the two positions. It is not unlikely that Cooney will be shifted to center. If he Is not, Hyde of the 1911 team is the strongest man out for the position. Harvard followers are jubilant over the large number of men they have from whom to pick their team members. There are fewer candidates for the line than any other department. The choice of a first team should not be very difficult so far as the line is concerned. There is Nourse for center. Burr for one guard and McKay for the other. The return of Fish, tackle on last year's team, will provide for the j other side of the line. Crt-wley and Corbett, last year's freshmen ends. with nouston, a substitute in 1907, are the likeliest looking ends. Brown snd Cutler and Sprague stand as the most promising material for quarterback. At Princeton they are more confident now than at this early period for sev eral seasons back. Enough veterans have returned to form a strong nucleus. The Tigers are better fixed as regards quarterback than any other team. Captain DO Ion Is a field general : par excellence, and his experience will 1 prove of decided benefit to the team. Frlnceton will have a hard time finding a man who can make a drop kick as well as Harlan did. Penn's football prospects received a sad blow recently when Coach Sol Metzgar announced that Dexter Draper would not play football this falL The loss of this All American tackle leaves an already weakened line in a rather bad shape. The coaches are doing their best to develop a strong line, and every man who has any size, regardless of experience, has been given a careful try out. but the prospects are rather dubious. The outlook at Cornell is somewhat discouraging. Of last year's team only four men have reported Gardner and Caldwell, both candidates for quarterback: Harris, candidate for left end, and Tydeman, right half. The Chicago eleven is just now the most feared aggregation in the middle west The early signs are that Chicago will round into championship form sooner than any of her rivals, eight members of last year's team having returned. The eight veterans are Captain Steffen. Page, Iddings. Falk. Kelly, Worth wine. Schommer and Hofman. Minnesota, according to present prospects, will have a hard task getting ready a football team op to the standard of past seasons. Only four of last year's regulars are left, the rest having been graduated in June, among them being Captain Shuknecht The four old timers who remain are ltadentnacber, an end; Young, a tackle; Mohlstadt a guard, and Coughlin, who baa played at quarter. Coughlin probably will be shifted to the back field this season. Illinois, with nine veterans on hand, looks good for a football revival, and the orange and blue students are pulling hard for a clear string of victories, with a win over Chicago as a reminder of changed conditions to Coach Stagg. Wisconsin is regarded as a "dark horse." but it is said that the Badgers will come up strong with the best team in years. For this reason the Chicago-Wisconsin game, which closes the western season, is regarded as on of the big contests. ' The Sickle of the Sphinx. The oldest piece of wrought Iron fn existence is believed to be a roughly fashioned sickle blade found by Belxonl in Kansas, near Thebes.
