WORKING FORCES ARE INCREASED

Encouraging Reports Received From All Parts of the Country.

ALL TIDES RUN STRONG.

INCREASED EARNINGS, MORE HOURS OF, WORK, GREATER TRANSPORTATION, AND LARGE BANK CLEARANCES. '

New York, Nov. 16 For the past week the commercial, Industrial and financial tides have been running strong and heavy. It can be put in a sentence. Business is just as good as it safely can be at this juncture. The country does not need a sudden boom, lifting values to a standard that cannot be sustained, and that would only result 5n a drop, a loss to investors or purchasers and a consequent loss of confidence in conditions. From every section of the country, and Ju nearly every line of important business affairs, each day brings news of more men being employed, more hours of work for many who have been on short time, greater demand for raw materials of every nature, increased earnings upon the transportation lines, larger bank clearances the country over, more life in realty transactions, opening of thousands of negotiations lookiing to greater development of building operations, and construction work, from tenement houses to structures running up In cost to several millions of dollars. It is safe to say that there have been more new negotiations entered into during the past ten days than in any prior two months of 1908. Business in the United States for the last three months was impeded by the' Presidential campaign dammed up as it were and whether the election had resulted as it did or had shown a different conclusion this pent-up business would have produced a sudden Increase of activity: Possibly not as much as under present conditions, for political arguments, truly or falsely based, had influenced many people's views as to the effect of the election verdict upon business in general. The fortnight now ended has shown a remarkable advance in our home business affairs, and it is strange that In this same brief period of time Great Britain, which has also been suffering from a severe commercial and industrial depression, reports a very great Improvement in all her shipbuilding centers.

Deeds, Not Words.

Richmond People Have Absolute Proof Of Deeds at Home. It's not words, but deeds that prove true merit. The deeds of DoanV Kiduey Pills, For Richmond kidney sufferers, Have made their local reputation. Propf lies in the testimony of Richmond people who have been cured to slay cured. Charles A. Fry, for a number of years a member of the Richmond Fire Department, and living at 21 North 5th street, Richmond, Ind.. says: "A few years ago I got. Doau's Kidney Pills at A. G. Lnken & Go's drug store for my son, who had been troubled most of his life with a weakness of his kidneys. I had heard the remedy highly recommended for such cases, and was not disappointed with the results of its use. After the boy had taken Doan's Kidney Pills a short time his condition was much improved, and he continued their use for a while longer until his kidneys were again in a normal condition. Since then he has never been troubled as he formerly was, nnd I cannot praise Doan's Kidney Pills too highly."

Tit For Tat. In Venezuela once a noted revolutionary plotter was put under what we call bonds to keep the peace." But, In addition, be was not allowed to leave the city where he was residing. "I give you the city for a prison," was the courteous way the governor of Caracas phrased it. Later on that plotter came in with a uccessful revolution, and the memory of the days when he had "the city for a prison" rankled within him. So it gave him great pleasure to throw the ex-governor of Caracas into Jail. I give you the prison for a city," he remarked as he did it

A ppointment of Several Minor Offices May Be Taken Out of Hands of Marshall

T.KTlTIAt

Go'd Medal Flour makes the whitest

Indianapolis, Nov. 1G. Republican state officials have discovered what they believe to be a condition that will enable them to name the custodian of the state house and the state house engineer under the next administration, notwithstanding the election

of Thomas R. Marshall, a democra

tic governor. The discovery, they assert, is that the law gives the power

of choosing the custodian and the en

gineer to a commission consisting of the governor, the secretary of state and the auditor of state, instead of to the governor alone. The democrats

contend the power is vested In the governor alone and they say they will contest any effort to take the power

out of Mr. Marshall's hands or they

will attempt to repeal the law at the

next session of the legislature and again place the appointive power in the governor's hands.

It is contended by John C. Billhei-

mer, state auditor, nnd other republicans who are investigating the question, that the law is perfectly clear on

the subject and there is no doubt that the secretary and auditor of state, both of whom in this instance are republicans, can control the appointment of the" state house custodian and the state house engineer. The' question arrises from efforts that have been made in the past to amend the law so as to save some of the patronage for minority parties. The republicans will be able to control a number of other appointments, including the secretary of the state printing board and the members of the state board of health. The law provides that the secretary . of the printing board shall be chosen by the board. The board consists of the governor, the secretary of state, the auditor of state and the reporter of the supreme court, all of whom are republicans except the governor. The law provides that the members of the state board of health shall be appointed by the governor, the secretary of the state board of health is chosen by the board itself.

GOOD HORSEMANSHIP.

An Old Hunter's Illustration of the Gift of "Hands." Tour heart and your bead keep up. Your hands and your knees keep down. Tour knes keep close to your horse's sides And your elbows to your own. This old brt of advice for the would be horseman is quoted by a writer in Baily's Magazine and declared to be pereunially sound. lie quotes another old hunter on the subject of what he calls "the divine gift of hands" in riding. This old hunter, John Darby, used to attach two pieces of twine to the back of an ordinary chair and draw the same tighter until the chair balanced on its fore or hind legs, according to his own position. Then when balanced he would keep It, so to speak, on the swing by gently manipulating the twine or reins he held in his hand. A rough pull would, of course, . have upset the chair one way, whereas the fact of not checking it in Its movements at all would have caused a total loss of control over it in the opposite direction. "And that," when the exhibition was concluded he would add, "is hands, gentlemen." Jogging to the covert, continues the writer, you may notice one fine horse, the owner fully equipped, throwing its head up and down like pump handle, another sweating profusely, although the pace has not exceeded five miles an hour since It left the stable, and a third snorting and prancing about all over the place. Why is this so? Simply because the rider of neither of them is possessed with the divine gift of "hands."

THE BEE'S STING.

Here is a cold sore cure: Two pans castor oil to one quart of spirits ol camphor. It is very simple and will heal the most obstinate cold sore in ni time. It Is also very good for sor nose, caused by cold In the head. Another salve for such sores is the plain zinc ointment, which can be bought It bulk of the druggist.- It's a first rate salve to have on hand, by the way, foi It heals pimples quicker than any other lotion knovfn. ' "Tour dog bit me. Do you think he's mad?" "No, hardly mad, but I expect he was awfully disappointed."

An Ugly Weapon Something Like a Three Bladed Sword. The bee's sting is made up of three po a rate lances, each with a barbed edge and each capable of being thrust forward independently of the others. The central and broader lance has a hollow face furnished at each side with a rail or beading, which runs ifs whole length. On the back of each of the other two lances there Is a longitudinal groove, and into these grooves fit the raised headings of the central lancet. Thus the sting is like a sword with three blades united, but sliding upon one another the barbed points of wrhlch continue to advance alternately into the wound, going ever deeper and deeper of their own malice aforethought after the initial thrust is made. It is a device of war compared to which the explosive bullet is but a clumsy brutality. Yet this is not all. To make Its death dealing powers doubly sure this thorough minded amazon must fill the haft of her triple blade with a subtle poison and so contrive its sliding mechanism that the same impulse which drives the points successively fonvard drenches the whole weapon with a fatal juice. From "The Lore of the Honey Bee," by Tiekner Edwardes.

The Weather House. A very ingenious contrivance for foretelling the weather is the old fashioned "weather house," largely made in Switzerland. It is arranged in such a way that two figures act in response to the twisting of a piece of tatgnt. The material, supported by a wire, controls the movements of a little platform on either end of which is placed a model. Excessive moisture in the air causes the catgut to twist and turn the platform round, so that the man emerges from one of the doors in the front of the house. Reverse conditions of the atmosphere bring about the contraction" of the catgut, and the platform swings back, thus bringing the figure of the woman into promiuence at her particular door. The making of a weather house is quite an easy matter.

FORAKER DEFENDS OIL EMPLOYMENT

Prints Leiters Outlining His Work for Standard in Ohio Cases.

TRUST GIVES CLEAN BILL

SENATOR FIGHTS TO RETAIN SENATE SEAT.

SAYS SENATOR NEVER TOOK ANYTHING INCONSISTENT WITH HIS PUBLIC DUTIES EMPLOYED TWO YEARS.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 16. Senator Joseph B. Foraker last night made public letters in connection with his employment by the Standard Oil company and in answer to charges made against him in tUe recent presidential campaign. A letter from Virgil P. Kline of Cleveland, O., tells of Foraker's work as legal adviser in litigation in which the Standard Oil company of Ohio was involved about ten years ago. Kline states that the company had no desire to evade the law and that the cases finally were dismissed. He says Foraker, as far as he (Kline) knows, never accepted anything from the company inconsistent with his public duties. Senator's Statement With Letters. "With the publication of these letr ters," says Senator Foraker, "which, added to my former statements, should, in my opinion, satisfy any fair minded man, I submit to the legislature, as every other candidate must do, the question as to who shall be my successor in the senate. " "I do not mean by this statement that I do not intend to give any further attention to the impending contest, but rather that I do not intend to engage in any unseemly scramble." Kline's Letter in Reply. In answer to a letter from the senator requesting it, Virgil P. Kline of Cleveland, O., sent the following explanation of Foraker's employment by the Standard in Ohio: "Kline, Tolles & Goff, 1215 Williamson Building, Cleveland, O., Oct. 6, 1908. Joseph B. Foraker, Cincinnati, O. My. Dear Sir: In December, 1898, at the time you were employed by me, there was pending against the Standard Oil company, in the supreme court of the State of Ohio, a proceeding in contempt instituted by the attorney general, charging that company with having willfully violated the order of the supreme court directing it to withdraw from the trust, agreement. "There was also pending against the Buckeye Pipe line company a proceeding in quo warranto, charging it with being a member of a trust, also a like proceeding against the Ohio Oil company and the Solar Refining company and one of a like character, at that time, I think threatened against the Standard Oil company of Ohio, and which was brought in January, 1899. These were so-called constituent companies of the Standard Oil trust. "These bills in quo warranto were filed in the supreme court and asked for the revocation of the charters of the said several corporal '.ons, the appointment of receivers to take possession of the properties and the dissolution of the various companies. Wanter to Get Out of Trust. "The company in Ohio which had beei ordered ' to withdraw from the trust agreement could not afford to

permititself to be put, nor could the gentlemen who managed it permit themselves to be put in the attitude of defying the law. A heavy fine might have been imposed, a receiver might have been appointed, and the vast business of the organization irreparably injured. "It was upon a realization of these serious and disastrous consequences, well known in your ability as an attorneyand the respect lawyers and courts had for you throughout the state that I sought your service. "Your employment extended over a period of more than two years, during which time I was repeatedly in consultation with you. and there was no phase of the litigation of which you were not fully abreast all the time. So far from the attitude of the company being one of a desire to evade the law or the decree of the court, it had

THERE'S TWO WAYS. And One of Them Is Blackburn's. The "animal way" is running, climbing and jumping, and the "civilized way" is to take a valuable medicine, made expressly to strengthen the bowel-nerves and when this is properly done the bowel muscles are toned, and strengthened into natural activity; headaches, depression, feverishness and the "whole line of constipation ills vanish as if by magic. This sweet little pill is not a secret medicine, but contains Cascara. castor oil, sulphur, wild lemon, and the like, thus giving the used all the benefits of a pleasurable physic, tonic and purifier. Mr. Blackburnfthe originator of this popular non-secret medicine prints his portrait and signature on each package to protect the public from harmful imitations. Reliable druggists carry only the genuine in stock. Should the reader wish to try this excellent and pleasant article they may ask for Blackburn's CascaRoyal Pills, in ten and twenty-five cent packages.

A Riot of Color. From the land of the Moros a soldier writes: "A Moro matron passed our quarters this morning wearing a heliotrope jacket, purple trousers with large heart designs worked in yellow, blue and pink embroidery, a red and Mack sarong, yellow plush slippers and yellow silk mantilla. The lady's maid (oldi. In modest garb, walked bohind, carrying a magenta parasol."

Hobson's Choice. "There is an egg for breakfast," r& marked a landlady to her lodger. "Which do you prefer?" "Prefer?" repeated the latter. "Where's the preference when yoa only offer an egg?" "Why, you can have an egg or nothing!' was the sharp reply. London Scraps.
