Cameron Forbes, of Boston, vice governor of the Philippines, and Seaor Jose Luzuriaga, of Manila. Vice Governor Forbes, who has been In this country on a four months' leave of absence, came to pay his formal respects, and to extend his congratulationspersonally, as he will return to the Philippines within a fortnight, and this was his only opportunity to see the president-elect and to have a quiet' talk with him. Mr. Jrbes and Senor Luzuriaga were the lily guests at luncheon, with Mr. and '.Mrs. Taft Sunday. Discussed the Philippines. The conversation had been almost entirely on matters of interest appertaining to the Philippines and the progress of its interests and developments and that he found Mr. Taft to be as keen as ever in his interest in Philippine affairs. "It was delightful," said Mr. Forbes, 'to find Mr. Taft looking so well, and I found him just as happy as I expected over his great success in the recent campalgu. He Is looking splendid, but one can see and realize that he has been through the hard work of a very heavy campaign." Senor Jose Luzuriaga also took part is the animated conversation during the two hours which slipped by all too Quickly. Senor Luzuriaga is one of the largest sugar planters in the Philippines, and came over with Mr. Forbes, having been with him part of the time and also independently visiting the country to Quite a large extent. He Is a member of the Philippine Commission, and was also a member while Mr. Taft was governor of the Philippines . His Ideas on the Tariff. Representative Joseph W. Gaines, of West Virginia, stopped here Sunday and had a long talk with Judge Taft. Mr. Gaines is on his way to Washington to attend the tariff hearing by the Ways and Means committee of the house of representatives, of, which he is a member. It is the belief of Mr. Gaines that there 4s unanimity of opinion between Judge Taft and the majority of the members of the committee. In that all are believers in the . principle of protection, and that the measure of protection should be j the difference between the cost of production of an article here and abroad, including a fair profit in- the calculation. The difficulty of the work to be done in framing a new tariff, he added, was in arriving at the basis of issue. GREENSFORK, 1ND. Greensfork, Ind.. Nov. 9.

Edna Goodrich and Nat Goodwin were married Sunday afternoon at the Goodwin home, 80 St. Botolph street, in the presence only of members of both families and George O. Weeden, of New York, at York. With the evident plan of avoiding publicity through the presence of newspaper reporters the marrying man had been asked to call an hour earlier than the time mentioned in Miss Goodrich's interviews, and accordingly visitors were told when they tame that "it was all over." The wedding marked the fourth marriage of Mr. Goodwin and the second of Miss Goodrich. Sho was the wife of Edward F. Staccy, a young Cincinnati millionaire. Their married life was unhappy, and within a few months they were divorced. It was while playing with Mr. Woodruff that Miss Goodrich's beauty and ability first attracted Nat Goodwin.

VERDICT SOOII Oil GOMPER'S ACTION

His Work in Political Campaign Either to Be br Not to Be Endorsed. FEDERATION CONVENTION. TWENTY-EIGHTH SESSION BEGINS IN DENVER, COLORADO TODAY AND FIGHT IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE. Denver, Col., Nov. 9. The twentyeighth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, which, it is predicted, will be the most important gathering of delegates of that body in its history began in this city today. The political program carried out by the executive council during the recent political campaign and which has generally been referred to as Mr. Gompers' plan, will come up for indorsement Opponents of Samuel Gompers, of more or less strength within the federation, are charging him with "pernicious political activity," and using other arguments to convince delegates that be has lost standing as a leader of workingmen. and that the working classes need expect nothing from congress in the way of legislation if Gompers continues at the head of the federation. Among those who are expected to lead the fight against the re-election of Gompers is Daniel Iteefe. of the Longshoremen's union, who was charged with deserting the federation's legislative committee and coming out for Taft In consideration of the promise of political office. Although it is difficult to get the temper of the delegates at this time, local leaders who will participate in the sessions of the convention laugh at the idea Of Gompers being turned down. They point to the defeat of certain candidates for congress known as enemies of labor as a distinct victory for the cause, In spite of the federation's unfruitful support of the democratic national ticket James M. Lynch, president of the International Typographical union, was especially honored last night on his arrival. About a thousand workmen in the printing trades met him at the train and escorted him to his hotel. LAST OF THE PASCAGOULAS. An Indian Legend From the Shores of the Gulf of Mexico. An Indian legend of the Pascagoula? is told by the fishermen and oystermen down on the shores of the gulf of Mexico. ! A point reaches out into the gulf near the mouth of the Pascagoula rlv er. The pine trees on it come almost ; to the water's edge, and between lien ( a strip of white sand; across a marsh, a border of light green swaying and rustling grasses and beyond a gray cypress swamp the hanging moss of the trees swaying in the wind. To the south the blue waters of the gulf stretch away, with little waves lapping on the chalk white clam shells of the shore. There in the evening during the short twilight one hears soft music, as If it were the notes of a violin, insistent, changing, sweet It is the song of the Pascagoulas. Long years before the Pascagoula Indians bad lived upon this point The white men, the Spaniards, came in numbers, and with them the hostile warriors of other tribes, to make war and to drive the Pascagoulas out of the country. Coming from the inland, the enemy took away all chance of right and hedged them in on the point The Pascagoulas fought for days and nights in the dark pine woods against outnumbering foes. Then they saw that all was useless, that they could not overcome, and starvation stared them In the face. The Pascagoulas called a council of the tribe and talked long together. To give themselves up meant lives of slavery or death, and to fight to the j last man was to leave the women and children to the mercy of the whlto men and their allies. The next morning the Pascagoulas put on all their paint and trappings and burned their wigwams. The men, women and children slowly, deliberately, unflinchingly backed step by step into the water behind them, singing. Not one faltered. They died with their faces toward their enemies, brave and free, and now in the evening when the wind blows over the marshes the pines and grasses sing the song of the Pascagoulas. New York Tost Hunting Fish With Dogs. A curious mode of fishing was formerly practiced on the southern coast of "Wales, in which dogs were used to drive fish Into the hands of the fishermen. The fishermen would begin their operations at the ebbing of the tide by stretching a seine across the river sev eral hundred paces from the mouth, and while drawing it downward toward the sea they Incessantly disturbed the water by beating the surface and hurling stones. The affrighted fish would make at once for the sea. which, however, they could not reach except by passing over the Intervening shallows of the river bar. Here they were pursued by dogs trained for the purpose and clubbed or speared by the men. One or two hundred fine salmon, weighing from ten to twenty pounds, would frequently be taken at one time in this extraordinary manner. Boston Post.

0R( (mm F.ETRIGG REGISTER. R0CKTORD,IAJ CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED ICopyrirtit. 1508. by F. E. Trier. This matter must not b reprinted without special permission. Kvery ear of corn Intended for next year's seed should be gathered and bung in a weii veutilated place to dry by Oct 15. If you are dilatory in this matter and wait until Nov. 20 before attending to this most important business, you needn't lay it off on the Lord next spring if the seed you have naved doesn't germinate. Good horse sense and Providence go hand in hand in a good many Instances, but in none more ' than In the matter of a selecting and saving of seed corn. A number of town boys we know have this year spent the major part of j their summer vacation working on nearby farms and have as a result of ' their Industry earned from $40 to $70 j apiece, la addition to this fiuancla! j gain they have acquired a knowledge j of different kinds of farm work which is Dot a practical ana userui ana win come in handy at some future time. When these same boys attended the county or state fair they had the satisfaction of knowing that they had earned a vacation as well as that the money they spent was their own. Having spent the summer thus, these boys are in a mood to take up their school work with Interest and zest and will get much more good out of it A Chicago health physician a short time ago issued a bulletin In which he warned the people of the city against the danger of. the spread of carlet and typhoid fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis and other contagious diseases by means of the common house fly. He recommends as an effective method of exterminating this omnipresent pest a plan discovered by Dr. Delamare, a French army surgeon, who has found that If one part of formol (also known as formalin or formaldehyde) Is mixed with nine parts of water and put on plates which are to be set wherever the flies are likely to congregate they can easily be exterminated. The insects seem to be attracted by the mixture as If It were sugar. Even the emanations of the mixture are deadly to them. In one large room In which the doctor tried this method the number of flies killed averaged 4,000 a day. Following a protracted dry spell which has been characterized quite generally the country over with numerous forest fires and parched pastures, there will be a tendency to stuff the young pigs with a heavy ration of green and Immature field corn. Better let them go hungry and stay thin than make this mistake. Immature corn may be fed, but in limited quaqtlties, and the ration should not be increased nntil the food is dry and hard. A pig's digestive apparatus is just as likely to be upset as is that of the human being who jumps of a sudden from a diet of pork, potatoes, soda biscuits and dried apples to all the green cucumbers and sweet corn he can stuff. In the latter Instance there is quite likely to be violent disturbance. It's just so with the pig, only that he doesn't have sense enough to quit eating the stuff that has upset his stomach, in which case his own should have sense enough to quit placing the corn within his reach. Feed the pigs sparingly of the new corn. It will mean a saving of dollars' In the end. The milk cows will do much better during the winter months if, in addition to their hay and grain, they can be given a daily ration of beets, which have a high sugar content and seem to Increase an animal's capacity for digesting and assimilating other foods. Expressed appreciation for work well done often furnishes as strong an Incentive to effort as the money which, Is paid in the shape of wages at the end of the week or month, and it is a kind of incentive that Is not utilized as much as It ought to be. To the tiller of the soil more than to any other class of people is the country , as a whole Indebted for a perpetuation ! of good times. When crops are bountiful good times are assured, but when there is a failure hard times come, no matter what political administration may be in power. When members of the home circle leave It for a visit or take the long Journey whose end is not on earth we realize with greater clearness than before that it Is 'the folks rather than the furniture and fixings of the dwelling place that constitute the home. When they are gone it Is but at best a cheerless, lonesome place. The excellence of a man's digestion Is quite often in Inverse ratio to the measnre of success which he achieves In the business world. There is many a captain of industry and millionaire who would gladly give thousands of dollars to the humblest laborer In hia employ in exchange for a good digestive apparatus. " The necessity of sufficient ram for the corn at earing time Is shown from the fact that for the production ot every pound of dry matter in stalk or ear there must pass through the stalk from 275 to 300 pounds of water. Thus when there is a shortage of moisture In the soil the size and weight of the stalk and ear are likely to be reduced In the same proportion. A friend Inquires how he can exterminate a patch of quack grass that has gained a foothold In his lawn, the natch tviojr 1mii.4. hjo fe-. is a

eaae of thk'ktnd the "beef as well as

the most effective method to follow would be to cover the patch with tar paper, covering the outer edges with flirt as well as the edge where the two pieces of paper lapped. Six or eight weeks of this kind of a dose will put the quack grass, root and branch, out of business. t Many farm animals which are killed In pasture during summer thunderstorms get the fatal charge of electricity from being in too close proximity to wire fences inclosing the pasture. Loss from this source could be completely done away with. An Ohio farmers' mutual Insurance company requires all members who take out insurance for live stock to ground the wire fences on their premises. This is done by connecting short wires of the proper length to the several wires comprising the fence and grounding them at intervals of about six rods by running them down the posts. The lower evil of the wire should extend Into the ground about six Inches. Figures given us recently by the representative of a leading lightning rod manufacturing company show that a barn 40 by 50 feet and 50 feet high at the gable can be equipped with three effective rods and the wires necessary to ground them properly for $41.50. Considering the fact that the insurance rate on farm buildings thus protected is considerably less than on those not protected and in view of the large number of barns which are burned to the ground every year, with their contents of hay. grain and live stock, protection of property at the above cost would not seem to be a matter of extravagance, but one of good business judgment It goes without saying that to be worth anything the job of rodding a building should be carefully and scientifically done, but when it is so done there is as nearly complete protection from loss by lightning as can well be. A locality 100 miles south of where the writer lives this year had in sight some fifteen carloads of Wealthy and other varieties of fall apples. A few days before it was time to pick them a hard wind blew through the orchards for several hours, with the result that two-thirds of the fruit on the trees was precipitated to the ground and rendered worthless for packing purposes. In no instance were any of these orchards protected by a timber belt as a windbreak. As a result tho ripening fruit was an easy prey for the sWishing winds. The importance of a windbreak for the orchard in localities where heavy winds are likely to blow from a given quarter can hardly be overestimated. If a site cannot be chosen for the orchard which already has a belt of natural timber to the windward, it is well to set out several rows of quick growing ixees, such as cottonwoods, willows or, elms, which will furnish the needed protection by the time the trees get into bearing. Next to hail, damage from wind the orcbardist has most to fear, and against serious loss from this source he can largely Insure himself with a timber belt of the above type. In the writer's orchard this protection Is furnished by a belt of natural timber to the south and west, which has proved invaluable since the orchard came into bearing. SPOTLESS TOWN. Brook, In Holland, Is tho Cleanest Placo In tho World. The housecleaning tools, hung upon the wall In neat lines, were as numerous, as diverse and as handsome as the tools of a carpenter or a chauffeur. There were floor brushes, wall brushes, picture brushes all sizes and shapes. There were rakes and scrapers for corners. There were polishing instruments of every kind for glass, for metal, for floors, for furniture. There were sponges, chamois skins, soaps and powders of all descriptions. "It is a complete set of cleaning tools, isn't it?" said the owner. "It 6hould be complete. I brought it from Holland with me from Broek from Spotless Town. "Broek is the cleanest place In the world. When you enter Its gates they give you a pair of new straw sandals yellow as gold to put on so that you will not track up the snowy streets. "In the bright sunshine you seem to be walking In a town made of sugar candy. The tree trunks are painted yellow, the garden fences are a bright blue, the tables and chairs before the little inns are as white as though carved out of snow. "Enter a Broek stable. The walls are scarlet, the mangers are green, the floors are yellow. The cows' tails are fastened to rings in the ceiling so that they may not soil nor be soiled." Cincinnati Enquirer. THE ILLS OF MAN.

Appendicitis and Gout Rampant Thousands of Years Ago. The Injuries, disease and peculiarities of the people who lived in the valley of the Nile from prehistoric until early Christian times, a period of over 5.000 years, are shown in a pathological collection on view at the Royal College of Surgeons In London. The collection was obtained during the exploration of fifty-seven cemeteries in tho area of the Nile valley lying immediately south of the pillars of Konosso, which mark the frontier of ancient Egypt. The survey was carried out under the direction of Captain IL G. Lyons of the Egyptian government. In one grave were found the abdominal organs of a woman so well preserved that It was possible to say that she suffered from appendicitis, "vhich la considered to be the earliest evidence of this disease. Typical lesions of gout were found in an early Christian subject. A pair of splints, with bandages, were found on the forearms of a young woman's body, both the forearms having been broken just above the wrists. The splints are almost Identical with those used at the preseat dax.PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY.
