Rheumatic Pains

"My mother is a great sufferer from rheumatism, and Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills is the only remedy that relieves her." MRS. G. DAVENPORT, Roycefield, N. J. The pains of rheumatism are almost invariably relieved with Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They also overcome that nervous irritation which prevents sleep because they soothe the nerves. To chronic suffers they are invaluable. When taken as directed, they relieve the distress and save the weakening influence of pain, which so frequently prostrates. Many sufferers use them whenever occasion requires with the greatest satisfaction, why not you? They do not derange the stomach nor create a habit. Why not try them ? Get a package from your druggist. Take it according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money. A BOWLING EVENT Thanksgiving Tournament Is Arousing a Great Deal Of Interest. RESULTS LAST EVENING The Thanksgiving Bowling tournament which will be held at the city bowling alleys is arousing great interest among local bowlers. Each man will roll five games. Gold and bronze metals will be awarded to the individual rolling the highest scores. The bowlers will be divided into two classes so that the poor player will have equal chances to win a metal. The entrance fee is small. In the railroaders league at the city alleys last evening, the Flyers took two out of the three games played, with the Iflghballs. The scores were as follows: Flyers, 731, 780, 675; Highbells, 690, 709, 740. Foster of the Flyers made the high score of the evening rolling 211. In the city league tonight the Entre Nous and Colonials will be pitted against each other and a fast series of games are promised. Kennett, a youngster on the Diamond Edge team, is showing great class. This is his first season at bowling and it is thought that when he becomes more familiar with ,the game he will make one of the best bowlers in the state. He holds the high individual score for the week at the local alleys, hitting the maples yesterday for 230. A machine has been invented to wrap with wire a telephone or telegraph pole to save it from gnawing horses.

"Graustark.' "Graustark, the dramatization by Geo. D. Baker, of the popular novel of fiction from the pen of George Barr McCutcheon, will be the attraction at the Gennett on Thursday, November 18. The company, if anything, is stronger than last season, and the same magnificent scenic production will again be seen. "St. Elmo." Contrasting boldly with the realism which is characterizing both the literature and the drama of the present day, comes the announcement that "St Elmo," that fascinating novel of Southern life by Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson, has been worked over into dramatic form by Willard Holcomb, and will be the attraction Wednesday, November 17, matinee and night at the Gennett. Otis Skinner. Otis Skinner returns this season to the Gennett next Tuesday, November 16, with a new play that promises to be a distinct novelty. It is the work of Messrs. Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilsqn, and is entitled "Your Humble Servant." Perhaps a succinct way to describe the play would be to say that it is a drama within a drama. All of the four acts transpire in that mystic world known as "behind the scenes" of which the layman knows comparatively nothing. Mr. Skinner will appear as a flambuoyant, optimistic tragedian, Lafayette Towers, a part which the authors have written in a vein of humor somewhat akin to the humor of Dickens in depicting the memorable character of Vincent Crummies. Every production bearing the trademark of Charles Frohman is notable for the excellence of its stagecraft, the thoroughness of its detail, and the perfection of its ensemble. Crowds Block the Aisle. An interesting incident occurred to the De Wolf Hopper company which comes here on Saturday evening to the Gennett in their new success "A Matinee Idol." While in Scranton the crowds in the aisles were so great that the superintendent of the fire department held the curtain for nearly an hour, insisting that the crowds be driven out of the aisles. De Wolf Hopper finally asked the city officials to come back and see him in his dressing room and obtained their consent to allow the women standees to be seated in the wings. The audience was beginning to express its impatience when Mr. Hopper brought on the superintendent of the fire department before the foot lights and the fire chief amid much laughter made a speech apologizing for the delay. The seats will be on sale tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. "Moulin Rouge Girls." With everything new and bright and a host of pretty girls direct from New York the "Moulin Rouge Girls" will appear at the Phillips theater on Thursday and Friday evenings, Nov. 11 and 12 and amuse the burlesque public with the latest song hits and gingery fancing numbers assisted by a I quartette of funny comedians, who will endeavor to hand some good wholesome laughter over the footlights to those who attend.

At The Murray. The bill at the Murray this week, one of the best that has ever appeared on the vaudeville stage in this city. Easily the headliner of the bill, is the famous Rennee family. Their beautiful selections of light operatas, artistically staged and professionally rendered, hold the audience spell bound in admiration. We are glad to notify our readers that Roy Peck is appearing on this bill this week with Harris and Peck as the Minstrel Boys. Mr. Peck's home is in this city and his many friends force him to appear time after time before the footlights, not even satisfied with the timely little speech. The Webb-Romola company furnish the audience with a very clever equilibrist and head and hand balancing act. Handson and Drew in their funny little playlet entitled "The Village Bill Poster" bring much laughter and applause from the audience. J. G. BERRYHILL RESPONSIBLE FOR DES MOINES PLAN ( Continued From Page One.) Berryhill, "The Father of the Des Moines Plan," almost constantly, in Des Moines. He placed all his material at my disposal and was helpful in suggesting men who should know the workings of the Des Moines Plan best. He took up with me each part of the plan, and brought up many points, which, while apparent weaknesses to the commentators of the Des Moines Plan, are in reality in some cases its very strongest points. But he was so modest concerning his part in it, that I had to go elsewhere for ry knowledge of his part in the Des Moines Plan. On this phase of my investigation of the Des Moines Plan, I consulted the special assignment men of the newspapers, who had been detailed while the plan was talked over. Harry Wilson, of the Des Moines Register and Leader, who handled all the assignments on the new system of govern ment, and went through two cam paigns, and who did the city hall before and after, was particularly well posted on the plan. I spent some time with him, going over the files before, during and after the adoption of the Plan, as well as with the city editor, Mr. Brown. A Reporter's View. Wilson, who may be said to have been more on the spot on all occasions, and who thereby got a universal and unprejudiced attitude on the history, said: How It Was Suggested. "The change of city government was first suggested by Charles W. Johnston. In April. 1905, he wrote to the Register and Leader, suggesting a change for the better by adopting a commission form. He had in mind Memphis, Tenn., which T. E. Browne of Des Moines forced into the hands of ?. board of trustees, who ran it with remarkable success. Freeman Conaway of Ames, in a letter to The Register and Leader, a few weeks later, offered the Galveston plan as a substitute for iq old ward system. James G. Berryhill then went to Galveston and made a study of the new form of government. On his return in December. l-rxx, he addressed several clubs and a mass meeting of citizens. A bill embodying the Galveston plan was prepared by James G. Berryhill, W. H. Bailey and John M. Read and submitted to the state legislature, where it met defeat, A committee of about 3X) citizens was formed, and at a mass meeting in January, 1907, James G. Berryhill, W. H. Bailey, I, M. Earle md John M. Read prepared the Des Moines plan bill which passed the house of representatives by almost an

unanimous vote. Des Moines adopted the new system of government June 20, 1907, by a majority of 2,280 votes." Plan Opposed by Corporations. But the reason that the Des Moines Plan was successful is because the people realized that it was their chance. The plain, average man fell in behind the lead of the Des Moines boosters and forced the issue. The people were opposed by the public service corporations working through their old co-workers, the ward heelers, the contractors. They even bought a newspaper and ran It for six months to fight the plan. But the average man had been so tired of the previous condition that he did not allow himself to be fooled. After the enaabling act had passed the legislature the people threw aside the bonds which the corporations had placed on them and embraced the plan. The election was a decision, but it is safe to say that ninety per cent of the people would compose the majority in favor of the plan today if the question wera up. They, and not the corporations, rule today. The people won and they will protect themselves.

INDUCED HIM TO MARRY WIFE NO. 3 SAYS SHE IS SATISFIED SINCE SHE GOT HER MONEY BACK AND WILL NOT PROSECUTE CHARGE. (Palladium Special) Marion, Ind., Nov. 10. "That woman had a peculiar influence over me. In an unguarded moment I married her, knowing that I already was a married man. She also knew that I had another wife, but she insisted that I marry her and influenced me to do so. I have been told that she practiced hypnotism. She must have exerted her power over me. After inducing me to marry her, she still had an influence over me and caused me to do just as she pleased." Thus spoke Harlan White, the confessed bigamist held in the county jail, to a reporter in explaining why he deliberately laid himself liable to imprisonment by marrying a woman at Valparaiso when he knew that he had not obtained a divorce from his wife. Woman Gets Blame. He lays the blame for his act on the woman. He says that she begged him to marry her, and that she influenced bim to take her for his wife even though both knew that he was al ready a married man. He says that he has been told that No. 3 wife was a hypnotist, and he believes that she made him one of her subjects. Wife No. 3 was more interested in securing a return of her money than in prosecuting White for bigamy, for she is now willing that he be released from jail without prosecution even though he is a confessed bigamist. White is now sorry that he returned the money to No. 3 wife. When arrested he bad $520 in twenty dollar bills in his pocket, and he handed the bunch of greenbacks over to No. 3 wife believing that he could thus avoid prosecution for a theft of the money. This was before the officers let White know that they had knowledge of him being a bigamist. Now White is wondering how he can get the money back. He says the money was in the bank in his name and that he is entitled to it. The wife, however, says that the money, even though it was deposited in the bank in his name, is her own, having received it from her first husband's estate. Gets a Release Order. Mrs. White No. 3 who traced White to Marion and caused his arrest, returned to Michigan Saturday night to file charges of bigamy, but she now refuses to Drosecute him. Parinr kI cured a return of her money she is i willine that he ham tiia nm-v Su perintendent of Police White on Tuesday morning received a message from the sheriff of Whitecloud, Mich., reading as follows: "Release White. Wife willing. Attorneys say we have no jurisdiction.' Superintendent White, however, does not propose to turn White loose even though his wife is willing. With attorneys deciding that the Michigan courts have no jurisdiction, the case already filed in the local court will be permitted to stand. White pleaded guilty when arraigned in the city court on the day of his arrest, but the judge has withheld sentence. White admits that he is not an ordained minister, although he says he became a "changed man and that he has often assisted in religious servic es. He has frequently participated in Salvation Army meetings although not a regular member of that organization.

GUI ARTICLE DENOUNCED AS A MERE BACK-BITE

Rancor in the Breast of the Author Is Blamed for the Bitter Attack Made on Secretary Ballinger. EX-FIELD AGENT IS TERMED A FALSIFIER By the Secretary of the Interior and His Washington Friends Are Very Greatly Wrought Up Now. Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. In tke light of the latest development in the controversy over the Alaska coal land claims it seems difficult to escape the conviction that the subject is a matter of congressional investigation, as the statement, prepared by Louis R. Glavis, recently dismissed as field agent of the general land office at Seattle. Wash., which was given out for publication yesterday afternoon is replete with intimations directed against the official integrity of Secretary of the Interior Ballinger. While Glavis asserts that he is making no charge against the secretary, wnicn language is merely a play on words, it is his obvious purpose to ere-1 ate the impression that Ballinger has been seeking to facilitate the acquisition of 100,000 acres of coal lands in Alaska by a group of capitalists in u manner which is not in accordance with the laws and purposes of con gress. Falsehood, Says Ballinger. Needless to say, this is a serious imputation against the secretary, and, if for no other reason than to justify his own course, an investigation by a proper committee of congress should be invited by him. For the present the secretary contents himself with a brief statement in which he brands as a tissue of falsehood and unwarranted insinuation the story given out by the deposed land agent. Glavis clearly was actuated by a twofold purpose in giving publicity at this time to his side of the case. First, he desired to justify his own course of action and show that his dismissal by direction of the president was not merited. Second, he designed to put SecretaBallinger in an awkward position, from which it would be difficult to extricate himself. Having lost his own position for going over the Secretary's head to the president,1 he would now like to see Ballinger separated from the public service for alleged connivance with men who were seeking to gobble up the coal lands in the public domain I a Alaska. It would require a long and exhaustive examination of public records to determine to one's satisfaction whether Glavis's Insinuating statements con cerning the secretary's actions were justified by the facts, and for this reason it would be difficult for the public to reach a rational and unprejudiced conclusion unless it were guided by a congressional committee which had ac cess to all data in connection with the Alaska coal claims and made a com prehensive report after diligent search ing and dispassionate investigation. There is no doubt that a request for such an investigation will be made when congress convenes next month, and it would seem that only by such a procedure could the atmosphere be clarified of the clouds of suspicion that have been created by the crimination and recrminations that have been pass ing back and forth during the last three or four months. There are some assertions in Glavis's ated and which he probably was inspir ed to make by the notification of his dismissal and the nervous tension un der which he has been laboring. For example, referring to the coal lands of Alaska owned by the govern SOME HARD KN0CK8 Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Heart." The injurious action of coffee on the heart of many persons is well known by physicians to be caused by caffeine This is the drug found by chemists In coffee and tea. A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up cof fee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes: "My heart was so weak it could not do its work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that I would never breathe again. "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said I most stop it, but it seemed I could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostration. "For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right. Slowly I got well.. Now I do not have any headaches, nor those spells with weak heart. We know it Is Postum that helped me. The doctor said the other day, 1 never thought you would be what you are.' I used to weigh 92 pounds and now I weigh 158.

ment and amounting to more than UM.OOO acres, he declares that "they are the future coal supply of the nation." This is clearly an overdrawn observation, but. even were it well within the bounds of reason, the cost of coal to the consumer in Ohio or Indiana, or any point east of the Mississippi river would be absolutely prohibitive on account of the cost of transportation, if it were shipped all the way from Alaska. It very likely would bo cheaper almost to use mahogany for fuel. Nevertheless, there is but one opinion among unprejudiced persons in Washington tonight, and that is that. in spite of any hyperbole or inaccura cies contained in Glavis's statement. congress should make an inquiry for the purpose of clearing Secretary Ballinger of the suspicion of performing any act suggestive of favoritism to the Cunningham interests, provided he was justified in everything he did, as the president himself believes.
