STATE CAMPAIGN COMES TO CLOSE

Last Meetings Under Auspices Of State Speakers' Bureau Tonight. HAYS SEEMS CONFIDENT. RETURNING FROM TRIP ON WAT60N SPECIAL HE FEELS RUSHVILLE MAN WILL BE ELECTED NEXT TUESDAY. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 31. The republican campaign in Indiana will probably close with tonight's speeches In different parts of the state. In the last two days the state committee has made its final appeal to the party workers over the state, in thousands of circular letters sent out. At headquarters yeBterday, every stenographer and clerk and a number of additional employes called in for the purpose were busy sending out these circulars. Secretary Rlddlck said they were for the eye of the precinct workers out in the state. Neither Secretary Rlddlck nor Chairman Goodrich will make a prediction as to results. They feel confident of success, however. Will H. Hays was not so modest. Hays left the Watson train yesterday In the charge of C. F. Remy and hurried back to his desk at headquarters to make what new assignments of Epeakers were necessary for the closing two or three days. Hays can talk of nothing but the success of the Watson train. People Are With WaUon. "The people are with Watson and the things he stands for," Hays said. "We had splendid crowds everywhere, and there was the keenest enthusiasm. , It seems to me that we are sure of victory beyond a doubt. His reception in j counties where there are big democratic majorities was gratifying." I The republican orators who have : come In from over the state, having finished their work for the state committee, are flushed with success. One of the speakers said: "Down at Rockport, and other southern Indiana cities, I found many' democrats who will support Mr. Watson. I saw men wearing Bryan but tons with Watson buttons galore. In some localities the liquor element is rampant against us. In the town of Clinton there are forty-eight' saloons, twenty-seven are on one street. I was ordered out of one of these saloons by the proprietors. Representative Johnson of Clinton, who had the courage to vote for county local option, is not allowed to walk on the side of the street where these saloons are." THE SWORDFISH." Overlord of the Sea and the Daintiest Feeder That Swims. The swordflsh la the overlord of the sea. Neither the whale, the shark nor any other giant of the deep can conquer him in private fight or public brawl. Nevertheless he is peaceful in the main and seeks the simple life, amusing himself often with worldwide travel and always with delicate gustatory joys. He Is the daintiest feeder that swims, always kills his own game and thereby insures its freshness, wherefore bis flesh is a delight to the palate of mankind and wherefore, again, men go forth to kill him for market and thereby at times fall upon adventures that make the hunting of tigers and the shooting of grizzlies pale Into pastimes for the weary weakling. .For the bold swordflsh Is still hunted In mode as primitive as that the Eskimo uses to kill the stupid whale, and often the sting of the harpoon changes this luxurious ocean gastronome Into a raging water devil, quick to perceive his advantage, charging with the speed of a bullet and the accuracy of a swordsman up against the lone fisherman in the dory who tries to bring him to gaff. Then must the fisherman measure with exactness the lunge of the monster, avoid it by a marvel of nice sidestepping in a plunging dory, or he will be spitted like a lark. William Inglls In Harper's Weekly. CHANCES IN GAMBLING. The Rule of the Unexpected at the Tables In Monte Carlo. There are systems, some will say. that will defeat the bank at Monte Carlo. 1 have not found one. Two factors settle all systems. One Is the bank's limit, which prevents the dou bling system so often advocated; the second, the extraordinary idiosyncrasies of chance. Red or black will often jrun in long series. I saw fifteen reds come up In succession on one occasion. seventeen uneven numbers in an unbroken series on another. One even ing on a losing day I' was playing on the first six numbers and persistently for some hours the last twelve numbers invariably turned up. Once I saw 21come up four times In succession when mathematically It should have taken 144 coups to make it show that cumber of time, and still more strange that on this occasion each time it came up a gentleman had staked the limit on the number namely. 18C francs winning In ten minutes some thing over 24.000 francs. One readily sees by these instances the unexpected very often happens in fact, more of ten that not. Arthur Hewitt in Bonilan V ,",-tne. Killing Time.

VENEZUELA. FORTS SHOULDBE SILENCED Holland Advised to Then Blockade Ports.

The Hague, Oct. 31. The Nieuwe Courant advocates the re-enforcement of the Dutch flotilla off the island of Curacao by three cruisers and four battle ships, which, it says, should commence operations against Venezuela by silencing the forts of La Guaira and Puerto Cabello, and then enforce a strict blockade until President Castro submitted to the Dutch demands. HAD NARROW ESCAPE Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Galbreath Thrown Out of Riq in Accident. TWO RIGS IN COLLISION. Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Galbreath, who reside near Fountain City, had a narrow escape this morning from being seriously injured. They had driven to j the city to attend the Bryan meeting at the coliseum. Just as Mr. Galbreath started to hitch his horse to ' the hitch rack on North Seventh street opposite the Neff & Nusbaum , store, Guy Trotter, driving a team of horses, emerged from the alley in the rear of the store. j He pulled up suddenly to prevent colliding with the Galbreath rig. In so doing the tongue of his vehicle raised, catching under the Galbreath j rig and turning it upside down. Mr. and Mrs. Galbreath were thrown out ; and deposited among a basket of eggs and a jar of butter. Several police-, men formed a rescue party and soon I had Mr. and Mrs. Galbreath on their feet and the rig righted. Mrs. Gal- j breath's indignation over the loss of the eggs amused the big crowd which witnessed the accident. The Hog. No other animal has been more modifled by civilization and none revert more quickly to the original wild type than the hog. Three generations oi running wild suffice to turn the smooth, round, short snouted razorback or hazel splitter thin, lank, leggy, lop eared, saarp snouted, an Ishmael in bristles, running like a deer, if running be possible, fighting as ,only a wild hog can fight when battle is Imperative. The tusks, which have been half obliterated in the process of civilization, get back size and strength, At a year old they are formidable, at two murderous, at three or five more deadly than a sword. They afford a certain index of age up to six years, but are commonly broken In fights long before that time. Wild boars are very ill tempered and when worsted in fighting often revenge themselves by ripping the bark from trees as high as they can reach. Her Exercise. Many readers think insufficient exercise is responsible for worrying moods. "Dare I whisper it," writes one correspondent. "Though I am a married woman, with two bonnie bairns, when my worries and temper prove too mucb for me I shut myself up In my room and dance a wild Scotch reel. I al ways did It when I got in a temper as a child as a sort of vent to my feelings, and I do It still and probably shall continue to do so as long as I'm sufficiently energetic." Certainly a Scotch" reel ought to pro vide enough exercise to exorcise anj demon of worry if lack of exercise Is the cause of it. Home Chat. A Bad Quarrel. "Why don't you try to get him to straighten up?" "He's his own -worst enemy.' "Welir "Ifs pretty hard to patch up that kind qf a quarrel." Louisville CourierJournal. Describing the Climate. "Is your climate changeable?" asked the stranger. "Not very," answered Farmer Corntossel. "It keeps shiftin' around a little till It strikes a kind of weathei nobody likes; then it sticks.

NAT GOODWIN FICKLE OLD BUG

Announced He Is to Marry Edna Goodrich. New York, Oct. 31. Phocian Howard, in the Graphic, today published the following interesting little piece of gossip: "Nat Goodwin is to be married again. Edna Goodrich will" be his wife. This, at least, is the gossip around the Lambs club, where Goodwin is spending an hour or so daily after the rehearsals of his new play, 'Cameo KIrby,' which will be produced by George Tyler on November 16. "It's only been a few days ago that Nat got a divorce from the beautiful Maxine Elliott, now playing at Daly's. . "Miss Goodrich has been abroad all summer, but will arrive in America in a few days, when the marriage will take place. "X "Memory "oF'ffiEHffiST." The Unalloyed Joy That Came With the Little Red Scarf. "1 was wondering the other day what one thing had given me the most pleasure In the world," said the village deacon. "I had to go back a long ways clear back into the blessed Santa Claus days but I recalled it. It was a scarf I found In my stocking one bright Christmas morning. I got a red one, and my brother got a blue one. I was a mighty proud boy that morning as I trudged downtown with that red scarf around my neck. I wore it every day until the birds began to sing In the springtime and the kids were hunting up their marbles. I don't now remember who gave it to me nor what became of it, but I do know that the memory of it still clings like a benediction. "Since the days of that little red scarf I have had things of far more Intrinsic value. I have worn lodge emblems of high degree; I have had a gold watch and chain; I once had a pair of shoes that cost $5 and a necktie that cost twice as much as the little red scarf. Nay, more, I once tackled a plug hat. But among these things do I recall none that gave me such genuine and unalloyed pleasure, such a swelled up feeling, as did that little red scarf way back In the days when the wolf sat out in the road and howled. 'Tis the little red scarf days that stir the memory with 'It might have been. " Osborn (Kan.) Farmer. PLAIN JOHN SMITH. Mow His Name Changes In Various Parte of the World. John Smith plain John Smith is not very high sounding; It does not suggest aristocracy; it is not the name of any hero In die away novels, and yet it is good, strong and honest. Transferred to other languages, it seems to climb the ladder of respectability. Thus in Latin it is Johannes Smithus; the Italian smooths It off into Giovanni Smithi; the Spaniards render It Juan Smithus; the Dutchman adopts It as Hans Schmidt; the French flatten it out into Jean Smeet, and the Russian sneezes and barks Jonloff Smittowskl. "When John Smith gets into the tea trade in Canton he becomes Jovan Shlmmit; If he clambers about Mount Hecla, the Icelanders say he la Jahne Smlthson; if be trades among the Tuscaroras he becomes Ton Qa Smittia; in Poland he is known aa Ivan Schmittiwelski; should he wander among the Welsh mountains they talk of Jihon Schmidd; when he goes to Mexico he Is booked as Jon til fSmltti; if of classic turn and he lingers among Greek ruins he turns to Ion Smikton, and In Turkey be is utterly disguised as Toe Seef. Phrenological Journal. Mystery of a Cookbook. Somebody mentioned cookbooks. "It takes a good deal to make me wonder," said the publisher, "but I received a jolt in the culinary line the other day that set me thinking. In looking over the manuscript of a cookbook that had been submitted for our approval 1 was struck by this introduction to many of the recipes, 'Good for boarding house table.' "Now, why that discrimination? Isn't anything that is good enough for a boarding house table good enough for any other table, and isn't anything that is good enough for any other table good enough for a boarding house table? Judging by the way those particular recipes read, they may result In some rather tasty dishes. Then why limit them to boarding houses?" New York Globe. His Successor. Shortly after the death of one of England's greatest poets a devoted admirer of his visited the little Westmorland villages where the poet hkdl lived and died to gaze reverently at his house, the little church and at some of his favorite haunts where some of his Immortal poems were composed. Seeing an old man a native of the village), the stranger entered into conversation with him, remarking sadly on the death of the poet, to which the old man answered kindly and encouragingly: "Aye, aye, still I mak' na doobt but t' wife '11 carry the blzness on."

WHIPPED WITH HICKORY FERRULES Cleveland Principal Admits to Punishment of Boys. Cleveland, O., Oct. 31. Boys are beaten with a hickory ferrule across their bare backs at the Public Boys' School, according to the statement of Principal H. O. Merriman, who said this punishment was sanctioned by Superintendent Elson. Merriman tried to explain matters to Juvenile Court officers who had received a complaint from twelve-year-old Mathew Flood that he had been whipped at the institution. "Boys who are sent to the Boys' School need severe treatment," Merriman said. "We punish them scientifically. We give three blows for tardiness, ten for absence and from three to ten for other offenses." A LINGUISTIC ESCAPADE." When Henry W. , Longfellow SKocked Intellectual Boston. In the original impression of Longfellow's poem of "Hiawatha" there were found in the seventh book the three lines following: 8traibt Into the river Kwaslnd Plunged as If he were an otter. Dove as if he were a beaver. How this offending preterit passed the proofreader without protest is one of those mysteries which have never been revealed. But the form certainly made its appearance and can still be found In copies of the poem which were regularly published and sold. Boston never received such a shock since the days when Fenimore Cooper insisted that it was only in the middle states that the English language was spoken in Its purity. But that attack came from an outsider. Here the offender was of her own household, was, In fact, her favorite son. What means of suppression were resorted to will probably never be disclosed. A mysterious reticence has always been preserved in regard to this linguistic escapade. The biographers of Longfellow appear to be silent upon the subject. Measures of some sort must, howcrvel, have been taken at once. "Dove" was expunged, and the decorous "dived" assumed its place, and the whole transaction was so completely hushed up that no public scandal was created. Let him who possesses a copy of that first impression continue to cherish it. W natever may oe its wortn now, tne time will come when It will reach the value of the virtuous woman of Scripture, and its price wlfl be far above ruble. Professor Thomas K, Loonsbury In Harper's Magazine.

You will have to decide it fo yourself next Tuesday. The popular verdict on the question of the best breakfast cereal made in this country was long ago decided in favor of

SHKEDD

The next President will be in favor of Shredded Wheat because both Taft and Bryan are pledged to the enforcement of the National Pure Food Law. Shredded Wheat is the purest, cleanest, most nutritious cereal made. It contains more actual body-building material than meat or eggs or starchy vegetables, is much more easily digested and costs much less.

Tell the thinking honest people of this community where under heaven could politics get a foothold or in what manner either party could swing it into profit. Run your eye down that list, ye voters of Richmond, and smile at the thought when you note that which you have seen in the past, one of the prominent members buying votes on the streets of this city on nomination election day. Would or would he not swing that single vote out at the hospital toward his interests politically or not? And then another member styled by himself as a "law abiding citizen" defending before the courts of this county a "Blind Tiger" and an automobile story thrown in. Come out from under cover and into the open! Let us have less prattle as to "pure benevolences" and mushy "compliments" to the council. Let us deal in facts as to the management of that Institution and then let us note if it be wise to continue a self-perpetuating board. I get It on good authority that the present superintendent wonders why the people of this city are averse to going to the hospital and thereby contributing to its support She is entitled to wonder. Let the history of Its management be made plain to her and the "wonder" will cease. I charge upon the board of trustees, mismanagement as to policies toward its patrons and the doctors; mismanagement as to its care of the sick within it, and business mismanagement. I dare its president and its executive committee to appear before me with their books and bills for interrogation. I enjoin upon them to bring the editors of the three daily papers with them to note their answers. I invite them to bring with them Drs.

Let me state further that the conclusion of this "open" investigation will be that a few of that board of trustees will find the problem very easy to obtain successors. As a concluding eye-opener will Mr. Rupe now state to Council what he said In the board meeting at which time the clause was enacted, providing that the "mayor of the city be given visitorial powers and the right to auestion any of its employes." Will council note the answer, and then refer to the many very cordial thanks extended to them for this personal interest in the hospital? When Mr. Rupe read that clause he laughingly said, "If anybody knows what that means." I was there and heard it. JOHN M. WAMPLER.
