OmU Us flaww 4 0 titaM la it Mfjn mi HARRIMAN'S STOMACH The whole country must be aware by this time that there is something very serious the matter with the stomach or other . internal organs of Mr. Harriman. Stocks have fallen many points since the newspaper re porters found out tow sick he is. And not only have the stocks in which Harriman has been interested in fal- , Jen under the weight of his disability, but the sympathetic -action has follow ed through almost all the listed se curities. From which, those who are not in terested in the stock market will surely notice, if they ha'j not before, that Mr. Harriman ia a considerable per son when he can affect the business of the country to such an extent. The condition of his health is no inconsid erable item when it is remembered that he represents the funds of the Standard Oil syndicate in its railroad operations. A conservative writer estimated in 1903 that six or seven men representing as many groups controlled $6,756,000,000 of railroad stocks and bonds. Since that time Harriman and. his associates have increased their holdings enormously, so that they probably control over half that amount. An uncertain billion or two with its director in a precarious struggle for life and death is enough to disturb the stock market and other business. FOUR GRAMS The whole world doubtless feels delighted now that the Pure Food Congress has decided that the admixture of four grams of Benzoate of Soda as a preservative will not kill. The congress decided but it was divided 57 to 42. Apparently the experts themselves are not so certain. We have received a communication which is very much to tue point The Inquirer wants to know whether any one can tell the differencein other words how will he know when he has passed the limit of four grams. We do not know. Neither docs any one else. t The . majority of people do not have the apparatus of an analytic chemist, nor the time to examine every can of beans which may happen to be benzoated. ' , That is the most serious objection to the decision if it is believed that a small dose of benzoate is not harmful. For ourselves we believe that th-s statement of Heinze he of the fiftyseven varieties who-says that he can put.: up Ms chow-chow without ben zoate is a reliable authority. And we further believe that the people will be safer to avoid the benzoated art! cles. We have a great deal of confidence in Dr. Wiley and we believe that the pure ' food laws of the Roosevelt re gime are most valuable to the country at large. Benzoate is admitted to be dangerous in large quantities and to protect the public it is almost fair to presume that those manufacturers who are not so "scrupulously clean in their manufactures that benzoate must be employed Will not be overly scrupulous in occasionally putting in a little over the requisite dose of ben zoate. We imagine that benzoate will not be popular, no matter what the Fure Food Congress may decide. LIGHT AND BUSINESS Not lorn: ago a business men's club In a New Jersey city started in to boom one particular section of the city and they succeeded. They employed many expedients. Every possible ad vertising: scheme and medium was used. The newspapers and one other scheme were found to be the " best drawing cards for business.

What Elgar Hibberd Can Do It was not without a reason that the S. S. Saxton Construction company started to work on the paving of Eighth street. Nor was it without reason that the company Is very anxious to 'have the street asphalted up to North A street. The most casual observer can see that a foothold an entering wedge is secured! And from this entering wedge the asphalt will spread abroad like molten lava all for the benefit of the S. S. Saxton Construc- , tion Company. , .'....

But look out if they ever get their foothold anywhere on North A street! And this is why: Elgar Hibberd, one of the Incorporators and stockholders in the S. S. Saxton Construction Company, the father-in-law of S. S. Saxton, has the whole of North A street in his grip from Seventh to Tenth streets. HE IS THE SOLE AND ONLY RESIDENT PROPERTY OWNER. His son-in-law admitted to Mr. O'Neal of the Board of Works, that he had lobbied in the legislature of this state to hafc the power of designating the kind of pavement put in the hands of the resident property owners. DOES ANY ONE THINK THAT ELGAR HIBBERD WILL NOT USE THAT POWER IF HE GETS A CHANCE?

It should be plain to the citizens of Richmond by this time that they are up against the real thing. .Mr. Hibberd and Mr. Saxton have in their past dealings been tip against propositions to which a little sure thing like this is a mere bagatele. After they get Eighth street asphalted to North A street, it will be one of the simplest things in the world to get the street asphalted from Seventh to Tenth street. Then you will hear the cry of uniformity. Uniformity. Uniformity is the cry that the asphalt people raise everywhere after they have gained a foothold. The paving of North A street to make it uniform from Seventh to Sixteenth, will be in turn. It will not be this year nor next year, nor perhaps the year after that. But it will come if it ever gets a foothold. That is the lesson that they are just learning down in Hamilton.

We therefore take pleasure in pointing out the extreme danger which there is in allowing any asphalt paving in this town, especially on North Eighth street, where it can come in contact with a private right of way which Elgar Hibberd had doubtless been contemplating when he went into the S. S. Saxton Construction Company with his son-in-law, Mr. S. S. Saxton, just after he 'resigned' from the Barber Asphalt Trust and had accomplished his lobbying in the state legislature of Indiana.

Here is the whole thing. Elgar Hibberd, stockholder In the S. S. Saxton Company; father-in-law of S. S. Saxton (who lobbied in the state legislature to fix the law so that the resident property owners could designate the kind of paving in spite of what the other owners of property desire), is the only resident property owner between Seventh and Tenth streets on North A street.

Let them asphalt Eighth street up to North A and see what happens. Do you really think that Elgar Hibberd of the S. S. Saxton Company would overlook a little thing like that?

refurnished the stores and put in window decorations of the highest meritbut still the trade did not come. One day there appeared in the papers a news story to the effect that this part of town was to have a new system of lighting. In a few weeks the street was covered oVer with arches made of gas pipe on which were electric bulbs. The section was turned into a veritable "white way," rivaling even the historic Broadway. It drew the crowds. It was follow ed up with consistent and attractive advertisements and the merchants in the other parts of town had to follow suit to keep what trade they had left. Now the whole town is covered over with this arcade lighting system. It serves to bring people into the town as it formerly served to bring people from other districts to the originators of the plan. This system of lighting is in use in Columbus, Ohio, on the principal business street of the town High street. It was put up temporarily for some celebration and proved so popular that it was allowed to stay. The merchants were in favor of it, not, only because it drew the crowds but because it did not conflict with the win dow lights which showed off their wares. The thing is familiar enough In Rich mond since the brilliant illumination of Main street with the festoons of electric bulbs employed in the Fall Festival decorations last year. Light, as a means of drawing crowds is little different from the proverbial moth and the candle, minus the implication of the fate of the moth.

You can come through nest time." Cam says: "Yes, after you are beat or elected - everybody is for you alter it is too late to do you any good. "It is no pleasant thing for a good man to be connected wtih politics. A man to make a politician must be of

this type: One that doesn't care to lie; one who cares not to betray his fast friends: one that has money and dos not care to spend it, or one who has no money and doesn't want any. If a man goes into a campaign with nothing he is not hurt. Therefore if a man wants to keep clean and save his money he should keep out of county politics."

AS ROME DID. Atchison (Kan.) Globe. There seems to be about as little excuse for the speed maniac as any other kind, and he is also a dangerous variety. Two men were killed at the opening of the great speedway at Indianapolis. The Romans would probably have demanded more blood, but for the young and modest capital Indianapolis made a fair showing. There was little grief in Rome when a glad iator fell, and the game will go on in Indianapolis .unchecked.. . And yet, if it seems a little cruel much can be said for Indianapolis and its superb speedway dedicated with blood. The speed mania is here and it is safer to to let it take its course on a smooth and guarded track than on the average public thoroughfare. If fools wish to kill themselves it is at least well to protect as much as possible the innocent bystander. TWINKLES As It Seems to Them. (Chicago Record-Herald.) Little Elsie Westlake Is New York near the Atlantic Ocean? Little Dottie Morningside No, the Atlantic Ocean is near New York. They Looked Wilted. (Pittsburg Post.) "How fresh everything everything looks after the rain!" "Except the people who were caught out in it." True. (Detroit Free Press.) From men who bet on horses this Experience I've learned: The man who plays a red-hot tip Is often badly burned. Inquisition. (Detroit Free Press.) "What sort of role does Rounder take in the new drama?" "An emotional one. In the big scene he is offered a drink which he has to refuse." (Atchison (Kan.) Globe.) An excuse is the easiest thing to find. Beware of the man who professes to love his enemies. Let the heathen go to hell; help your neighbor. Every one is patient to a sick man, if assured he will die soon. Every woman regards the confes sion of a young man that he is striving to be a better man as equivalent to a proposal. ; A man will coax his wife till she gives in. and is pleased with himself when he succeeds, but when the children coax her and she yields, he is disgusted with her.

SPANISH FORCES

AG ANT DEFEATED Riffs Gathered in Vast Horde To Make Effort to Sweep Out Dons. PRISONERS ARE TORTURED MOST ATROCIOUS SLAUGHTER OF MODERN TIMES HAS BEEN REPORTED HUNDRED SOLDIERS WERE CRUCIFIED. (American Is'ewa Service) Lisbon, Aug. 28. Gen. Marina's army has again suffered defeat in Morocco. The Moors have checked the advance at Restinga and while they are torturing their Spanish prisoners the RifTs are gathering in reinforcements to attack the entire Spanish col umn. Dispatches today state that only 400 Spanish have fallen in the past fortyeight hours fighting, but those dispatches were censored and the total number of deal is believed to have reached nearly twice that number.. The Moors have taken 1,000 Spanish prisoners and 1,000 tribesmen have fallen. Great Cruelties. The most atrocious slaughter of modern times, attended by barbarous cruelties practiced upon Spanish prisoners are described in dispatches received here today from Melilla and other Moroccan points along the fight-! ing line. The Spanish in the garrison of Melilla are compelled to witness the most heart rending scenes every day. From the garrison they can see detachments of prisoners led out upon a small plateau upon the side of Mount Gurug.i where sickening tortures are visited upon them until death relieves them of their suffering. One hundred Spaniards were crucified in plain view of the garrison, which was too far away for the artillery to reach the natives. The corpses are thrown into a trench filled with the decaying bodies of Spanish soldiers. The soldiers in the Melilla barracks pleaded with their officers upon their knees to be allowed to advance upoa the Moors and avenge their comrades. The main body of troops is still cen tered about Melilla. A detachment of Spanish troops are encamped in the armed village of Elabar where there is fresh water. The village for a time will be the base of the vanguards operations on account of the water supply and the operations of the enemy. Tales of Bloodshed. Tales of cruelties practiced upon the Spanish soldiers are borne from camp fire to campfire. The Moors after leading a detachment of bound soldiers out upon the heights of Mount Gurugu lop off their hands while fanatics dance and sing around the bodies. Then with their long knives they slash the bodies and fill the wounds with salt. With their fingers they gouge out the eyes of the prisoners and puli their tongues out by the roots. Even after the dying prisoner has lost all consciousness of pain the barbarians continue their cruelties until life is extinct. Many of the inhuman prac tices are too vile for mention. The firing line now extends along the entire Moroccan coast. The ad vance of the Spanish troops is marked by a trail of ashes. Three villages near Restinga were burned by a Spanish troop and the torch is applied indiscriminately along the line of march. Sickness has broken out in the Spanish camps in the immediate vicinity of Melilla on account of the men drinking impure water. The officers are able to buy mineral waters but the soldiers had to get their supply from stagnant pools which were literally alive with vermin. The Moors made a sortie against Alhucemas last night but were driven back by artillery fire. 7 HEED HUBBY Spokane, Wash., Aug. 28. Grace Croonquist, comedy and vivacious. who drew No. 354 in Uncle Sam's big land lottery at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where tnree thousand names were drawn from among the 100,000 registered for lands in the Coeur d'Alene reservation, made a witty reply when asked by Judge W. Witten. superintendent in charge of the drawing, what she would do on a homestead without a husband to run it. She said : "With a dog that growls, a cat that delights in staying out at night and a parrot that 'cusses' like a veteran sailor or seasoned mule-whacker, I do not believe I will have occasion to miss a husband. I believe I have all the nec essary adjuncts to farm life. I have paddled my own canoe for several years and I think I am qualified to pilot a plow over the hills. However, if the right man comes along I may be induced to share my claim, which timber cruisers say is worth $10,000, with him. Understand I said the right man. " EAGLES TO SCREAM Kansas City.

Emperor Franz Josef Plans For American Girl's Wedding

Vienna, Aug. 28. Emperor Franz Josef of Austria is arranging all the details of the marriage of Miss Anita Stewart, the rich American girl, to Prince Miguel of Braganza, once pretender to the throne of Portugal, which will take place at Tulloch castle, where the mother of the bride-to-be is spending the season, in Rosshire Scotland. While the family of Miss Stewart denied that she should settle nearly $2,000,000 upon the Prince to pay his debts before the ceremony the report is generally credited that approximately $840,000 will be given the prospective noble groom with which to satisfy at least some of his personal creditors before September 15, when the wedding will take place. This is one of the few international marriages which has been planned by a crowned head of Europe. The prince is of Austrian birth. Some day he will inherit the estates at Richenau as he is the eldest son. The family from which the prince comes is large and there will be a large gathering of the house of Braganza at the ceremony. The prince has eight stepsis ters and brothers, the youngest of whom is four years old. These will attend the nuptials as well as six aunts who are infantes of Spain. The prince's grandmother, the Duchess Dowager of Braganza. is now 8 years of age and for the past de cade has been in the convent at St. Cecilia at Ryde. Isle of Wight. Preparations of the most elaborate nature are going forward at Tullock Castle. An army of workmen from neighboring villages are preparing the great mansion and estate. Artisans brought all the way from London are decorating and rearranging. The bride's trousseau commanded the attention of a battallion of Parisian dressmakers and is said to be one of the largest and expensive taken from the French capital in a long time. William Stewart, the bride's brother. TREATS

But among those who will attend are the three sons and daughters and Mrs. Anthony Drexel and the bride's four cousins.

The American Bankers' Association's Thirty-fifth Annual Convention to be held in this city September 13-17, bids fair to outrival all , of its predecessors in attendance and importance. Secretary Farnsworth had a two days' session with President George M. Reynolds, Chairman of the General Committee on arrangements, and also met the local committee. The work of the several committees is now well under way, and from arrangements already made, and reports submitted at 'their meeting, every important detail will be perfected for the convention, and a most elaborate series of entertainments furnished which will not in any way conflict with the business program. The Headquarters of the Association will be at the Auditorium-Annex; getteral registration at the Auditorium where a large lobby on the second floor has been set aside for the purpose; the Section meetings will be held in the Egyptian room of the Auditorium, and the general convention will be held in the Auditorium Theater. August Blum, First National Bank, Chicago, is Chairman of the Hotel Committee. Whoever decided that people should wear clothes knew his business. We all look mighty tough without clothes.
