TOM TAGGART IS NOT YET OUT OF POLITICAL GAME Returns From the East and Promptly Announces He Will Take Hand in Indianapolis Campaign. WILL SUPPORT GAUSS IS STATEMENT MADE

"I Will Jump in and Support Him With Pleasure and Agility" Announces the Beaming Thomas. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 11. Tom Tag gart made an announcement Saturday evening that showed where he stands in the political game which is bein-? played in this state. He had been in the east with his family for some time and only arrived home Saturday after noon and remained here only long enough to eay hello to a few democrats and start for French LickBut while he was here he was asked what he proposes to do in the Indianapolis city campaign. He has not done a thing thus far, and some of the poli ticians of both parties have been won dering whether he Intended to continue this policy of inactivity. "I shall Jump in and do all I can for Mr. Gauss with pleasure and agility," .Taggart said in answer to the question put to him. That Word "Agility." Just what he meant by the word agil ity is not known, but if Taggart em ploys the same kind of agility that the Taggart crowd has used in years past It will mean a lively campaign, in which all the tricks of the trade will be used. When Charles A. Gauss, the democratic candidate for mayor of this city, was nominated, it was known that I he was not satisfactory to Taggart. In , fact, long prior to the primaries Tag- j gart dame out openly for Charles B. j Clark, the other candidate for the nomination. He said Clarke was the ; better man of the two for mayor, and , all of the Taggart push got behind . Clark and tried to put him through. But it failed to land him and Gauss was nominated by an overwhelming vote..,..':,,' . . , , j About that time Taggart made the declaration, so it is said, that he intended to retire from active participation in politics in Indiana, and that be , would hereafter attend strictly to business. Few people took any stock in this declaration, however, because they could not bring themselves to think of Tom Taggart out of politics. Those who did pay any attention to his declaration took it to mean that Taggart would not even take a hand in the city campaign. The General Opinion. The general opinion now, however, is that if Taggart intends to jump into the city campaign after declaring he would retire fro m active politics, he will also be in the game in the next state campaign, just as he has always been. "The way to retire is to retire," said one man today, "and if Taggart is nut going to retire from city politics he is not likely to retire from state politics." That about expresses the feeling here. So Governor Marshall, John W. Kern and the rest of the antls who are figuring on putting the rollers under Taggart, may as well begin, now, it is believed, and get ready for a fight that will make the fur fly. It is undoubtedly true that the movement to put Taggart on the "hummer" so far as the control of the democratic state organization is concerned, is gaining ground every day, and that there is a good prospect that it may succeed. The work is being carried on quietly, but effectively, however. . 's Hard to Interview. Taggart was quoted in a dispatch from Toledo, a few days ago, as saying that W. J. Bryan was on the shelf. Taggart stopped in Toledo on his way back home from Cape Cod, and w as interviewed by a newspaper man. Evidently, it was the first time that man ever tried to get anything out of Taggart. for the newspaper men who aw familiar with his methods of responding to an interview know how hard it is to get him to say anything definitely. When Taggart got back here he said he was misquoted in the Toledo dispatch. What he really said, ac cording to his statement, was that Bryan had made the race for president three times and he could not see any symptoms that he would run again. This, of course, is only another way of saying that Bryan is on the shelf, but it shows the oily way Taggart has of saying things without saying anything.

When Henry Savage sends his big production of "The Merry Widow" to the Gennett theater on Friday, October 22. Richmond will have its first view of the most famous Vienese opera which has ever been sung in America. Franz Lahar's charming music met with such success in New York that the vogue for anything with the stamp of Vienna on it was eagerly looked forward to. The Murray Theater. Theatrically speaking this will be Richmond's gala night as the new Murray theater will throw open its doors to the public this evening for the formal opening. The bill that has been secured will make the occasion all the more notable as it includes the very best acts on the vaudeville circuit. The headline act will be put on by the musical comedy company of Eddie Adair which is composed of 8 actors and actresses and Edythe Henney. There will be 8 musical song hits with 12 complete changes of costume and 5 special drops. Frank Rutledge and Company will present their playlet entitled "Our Wife." Frank Rutledge is a recruit to the vaudeville stage from the dramatic forces of Mr. Savage and the act will prove to be a very pleasing one. LeClair and Sampson have a very good comedy on gymnastic stunts and DIRE DISTRESS It Is Near at Hand to Hundreds Richmond Readers. of Don't neglect an aching back.

The kidney secretions passed too frequently day and night and heavy lifting seemed to make my trouble worse. When I -heard about Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box at Luken's drug store and they helped me so greatly from the first that I continued taking them until cured.

Great Shocks Almost Always Followed by After Shocks. Although seismologists have not yet succeeded in finding out any means of definitely predicting the occurrence of an earthquake, they are very hopeful of finally arriving at this desired goal, and already they can discern danger by the pulsations which are always gently agitating the surface of the earth. A sudden cessation of these heart beats is a danger signal, extreme stillness Invariably preceding an earthquake, whereas constant tremors are a good sigu. A great earthquake is almost always followed by weaker ones, and when it Is violent and destructive the number of minor shocks following it may amount to hundreds or even thousands and continue for several montbs or years. The occurrence of after shocks is t;uite natural and necessary for the settling down into stable equilibrium of the disturbed tract at the origin of disturbance, each of these shocks removing an unstable or weak point underneath. Further, as a very great shock would remove a correspondingly great underground instability it is probable that such a shock would not for a long time be followed by another of a magnitude comparable to its own in the same or a neighboring district. When, however, the Initial shock is not very great it may be followed by another like it. but even in this case the positiou of the origin of the second shock would usually be quite distinct from that of the first.

THE ULTIMATE GOAL What Organized Labor Aims to Do For Mankind.

THE GROWTH OF UNIONISM. Under the Spur of Organized Opposition by Employers Wageworkers Are Rising to Mst the Situation United They Are Able to Resist injustice. Discussing the question "What Is the Ultimate Goal of Organized Labor?" in a recent Issue of the Boston Globe. H. B. Perham, president of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, outlines the following program: There are likely to be many diver gent opinions in regard to the query j as to "What Is the Ultimate Goal of ; Organized Labor?" and this thesis Is submitted as the present Tlew of one cheerful citizen who knows there are others. The necessity for organization among the wage earners in the United States became apparent only during the past fifty years. The organization of those who had copital to invest made the organization of wage earners an imperative necessity as a matter of self preservation. The power of money is great, but when it is massed by incorporation to such an extent that It makes Croesus of old look like a piker the wage earner is forced to hustle to save himself from abject slavery; hence the American Federation of Labor, with its 11U national and International unions. 3S state branches, 5S7 city central bodies. 064 local trades and federal labor unions and scores of other unions, brotherhoods and wage earners' associations not yet affiliated. But not withstanding the millions of citizens now identified with the cause of organized labor the movement is still iu its infancy. Employers have recently formed organizations for the purpose of stamping out those of the workingmen. What piffle! They might as well try to stop the rising tide of the ocean. Good came of the attempt, because by that means the employer found out the depth and strength of the workingman's movement and how thoroughly it is in earnest. Organized labor is today resisting injustice on the part of the employers and occasionally wresting a little more of labor's profits from the boss for the use of the worker and his family and by tJiat means steadily strengthening Its position. It is settling jurisdiction disputes between organizations along broad and sympathetic lines, and the result will be unity and enhanced opportunity for more effective work. Here and there the ultra conservative and the red radicals are shying rocks at one another (metaphorically speaking), but they will eventually discover common ground upon which both sides can stand and unitedly gain victories over conscienceless greed, grasping canning and the lawless rich. Tomorrow it will be resolving itself Into o-operative societies for the pur Pose of distribution of Its product among its memners along equitame lines: also devising means of becoming itself the employer by Instituting manufacturing plants of its own. In the not distant future It will elect Its own members to the congress and the legislature to solve those larger problems that unionism and co-opera ! tion cannot touch. The money ques answer those conundrums. The goal will be reached when we have achieved peace, prosperity and happiness for the citizens of the United States and commenced proselyting among other nations to solve their vex ed questions in the same manner as we have done. The United States is the hope of the world at the present time. Its citizens must make good by showing the down trodden and oppressed of other nations how to emancipate themselves from all kinds of slavery by Intelligent, forceful, yet harmonious action. Worst Crime of AM. "Call the jury for the next case," said the judge. "May it please the court." said the prosecuting attorney, "the prisoner at the bar is not entitled to a jury. He" "Why. the ornariest chicken thief Is entitled to trial by Jury." exclaimed the judge. "It Is the Inalienable right of every man charged with" "But this is a union man charged with having violated your order not to approach a strike breaker with intent to influence him." "What? Prisoner, stand up! Ton have committed a crime which is so much worse than murder, rape, incest, arson, infanticide, homicide, patricide, matricide or fratlcide that you have forfeited all right to a trial by Jury.

Removes Poisons of Catarrh And Rheumatism from The Blood. For catarrh of the heud use a teaspoonful of salt ami a quarter teaspoonful of borax dissolved in a pint cf warm water. Snuff this mixture through the nostrils twice daily and Immediate relief is experienced. To cure, a constitutional blood remedy must be used. Catarrh and rheumatism are both due to accumulated poisons in the Fysten. These poisons must be eliminated. The following simple home mixture effectually acts on the kidneys, the bowels and the skin, causing them to resume their functions quickly and properly: Get one-half ounce fluid extract Buchu. one ounce compound fluid Balmwort, and two ounces syrup Sar-

sananlla compound Mix and take a teasp00nful after each meal and one at retiring. Many cases of catarrh, rheumatism, and kidney trouble have already benefited by this treatment. QUEER ANIMALS. The Harpy Eagle, the Aye-aye and the Tasmania Devil. The world has been so thoroughly explored that one might imaglue it impossible that uny noteworthy species of mammal or bird could still remain unknown. Yet every uow and then something new turns up. For example, it wan not so very long ago that a first acquaintance was made with the harpy eagle, a fowl native to the reglou of the Amazon, which feeds chiefly on monkeys. Another curiosity not long known is the aye-aye of Madagascar, a mammal which has one finger of each band most curiously skeletonized and elongated for the purpose of dragging from their burrows the earthworms on which It feeds. As is well known, it is from Australia and New Zealand that come the flightless birds, some of which readily breed in captivity. The fur seal rebels In captivity. The seals which one sees captive and which do such intelligent tricks are hair seals, belonging to quite a different species. So opposed is the fur seal to the very notion of deprivation of liberty that It will invariably starve itself to death rather than submit to such a condition. Likewise it is with the Tasmania n devil, a queer little marsupial about two feet long, somewhat resembling in appearance a baby bear, which Is found only In Tasmania, a large island formerly known as Van Dlemen's Laud, to the south of Australia. It is almost incredibly ferocious, preying uioii the sheep and poultry of the farmers, and never yet, though captured in earliest Infancy, has it responded to kindness by manifesting an amiable disposition. Philadelphia Ledger. TALL AFRICAN GRASS. Beautiful Scenes at Night en the Veldt When Fire Spreads. Unlike a good deal of South Africa. Rhodesia is largely wooded. In some places the forests are of value, but a large proportion is not valued for Its timber. The grass in this part of Africa grows to a phenomenal height In the valleys, and especially in the valleys of the Sabl and Zambezi rivers it reaches Its greatest height. To say that the grass Is often twelve feet high is no exaggeration. Naturally it is very easy to lose one's way In this grass If one is unfortunate enough to stray from the beaten track. It is the custom there to burn this grass off each year when It gets dry. , This is usually in August and September or even in October. Fires burn for miles, and as the country is largely a wilderness little damage is done by this method of destroying the grass. It Is a beautiful sight at night in the fire season to see the bills for miles around encircled with flames. After the grass has been burned tbe rainy season usually begins, and it is then that the country is at its prettiest. The grass is then green, and the foliage on tbe trees is beautiful. The old leaves drop off gradually, and tbe new ones take their place before the trees are bare. Tbe new leaves are of all shades of tbe rainbow, and it is much IJke the f?n. soenery In tbts..conntry The Sign of Approved Vaudeville MURRAY T H E formal Opening A P P R 0 V E D YANKEE
