HtVltW IVIAItKIAL ' FOR TAFT'S MATE r . - Cummins, Hadley or Deneen Regarded More Satisfactory Than Sherman. Washington, D. C. May 16. James (Schoolcraft Sherman of New York, Tie president of the United States, will not be renominated for the office he holds if the two dominant factions of the Republican party can prevent it. . The man most favored for second place on the ticket by those who have Mr. Taft's Interests really at heart is either Senatoh Cummins of Iowa, Gov ertior Deneen. of Illinois, or Gov. Hadley of Missouri. The opposition to the renomlnatlon of Mr. Sherman arises in the first place among the friends of Mr. Taft It also prevail. among the progressives, who will be a unit in fighting his election for the second time for the vice presidency. Realising this situation, Mr. Sher man and the men behind him have engaged In maneuvers designed to strengthen them and his aspirations before the Republican convention. Opposition From Old Guard The administration has learned of moves made by the "old guard" In New York, with which Mr. Sherman la closely affiliated, the purpose of which is to get delegates away from Mr. Taft. To this end the "old gqard" is willing to stand , for Associate Justice Hughes, believelng that at the convention it can throw the votes for Mr. Sherman or where they might do the most good. This stand Is partly inspired, so far as is known here, by the desire to obtain revenge for the way In which the president polned Col. Roosevelt last summer In turning the "old guard" down and aiding the colonel In the nomination of Henry L,. Stlmson, just appointed secretary of war. It has been apparent for some time that Mr. Sherman would lend no trangth to, ticket headed by President Taft. The recent development will make impossible, it Is stated, his renomlnatlon for second, place. Sherman Is "In Bad."' : So far aa Mr. Sherman's candidacy for the presidency is concerned, that can be dismissed without a second thought. If, by any chance, he should be named by a majority of the convention, the progressive faction would walk out, bold a convention of its own and nominate a ticket which it would ask the country to elect. , But there is no possibility of Mr. Sherman getting enough, delegates to be within even striking distance of a majority. Had the plans of William Barnes, the Albany boss, not been nipped in the bud he might have appeared at' Chicago, it that be selected aa the convention city with a respectable following from the Empire state. . Mr. Barnes.' by default, recently obtained the chairmanship of the state Republican committee. When Claude Ctracom resigned as chairman of the New Yoflf .county committee Mr. Barnes communicated, with the president and told him he intended to keep hands off and let the committee choose its own chairman. Planned "Double Cross." . He suggested .the president should observe a like attitude, and as Mr. Taft did not care to Interfere in what appeared to be the unimportant question of the organization of a local committee he assented to the suggestions. But there are politicians in New York who know Mr. Barnea and who were aware he had no intention of letting the control of such an important com mittee escape him if he could help It. To understand the New York situation it must be appreciated that the strstegic political organisations of the state are the committees of New" York county. Kings county the latter covering Brooklyn, and Erie county, which Includes Buffalo. :, " Discreet inquiries made with respect to Mr. Barnes disclosed that he was actively pushing the candidacy of a man whom he could depend on. The President's friends got busy, with the result that a man loyal to Mr. Taft waa named as the successor of Mr. Oriscom. Thus a danger was avoided which might have had serious conse quences later on in the campaign. . .- "Old Guard" Dying Hard. It Is evident now that the "old guard" in New York cannot be depended upon to support the candidacy of the President for renomlnatlon. It may find it expedient to fall into line, and undoubtedly it will .do so in ehe end. for the reason' that it will realize It ran nhtaln mnr hv fralntnor with thA President than It can by opposing .him But the practical politicians who con-stltute it. feel they can hope for nothing unless they are in a position to command consideration. It la this consideration that ia prompting and will prompt every move on their par, and the political advisors of the Pres ident are fully aware of it. The attitude of these men is that of the ' atandpat politicians in other states. They are carefully considering the advisability of the "favorite son" plan, which they attempted to use in the last presidential campaign. For Instance, a movement is under way to get the Indiana delegation In structed for former Vice President Fairbanks. Speaker Cannon will want some delegates in Illinois Instructed to support him. or to go to the conven tlon uninstructed. Mr. Fairbanks may not fall In with the scheme, but so far as Mr. Cannon Is concerned he does not conceal his dislike of the presi dent and his policies, and If he cannot et the delegates for himself he would be glad to do so for Mr.. Sherman, or Mr. Fairbanks, or any other member of the regular faction. - : Hew Sherman Was Elected. ft will be recalled thai Mr. Shernaa's nomination (or the vice presi dency was brought about-at Chicago cot by any popular desire for his prornywi to this office, and hot by r eases cf any wlnsh therefor on the part of

but because of pome sharp organization work done by Mr. Cannon and Lucius Littaner, the latter a former congressman and glove manufacturer In New York. IJttauer was well liked In congress and had many friends among the delegates. The result of the work done was the nomination of Mr. Sherman. The latter and Mr. Cannon made de termined efforts to reward Mr. Llttaucr by getting a heavy increase of the duty on gloves when the Aldrich law was In the making. The outcry against this proposition caused its defeat, much to the regret of the vice president and the speaker and the irritation of Mr. Littauer. Since he has been vice president, Mr. Sherman's course. has not endear ed him to the progressives. They are frankly opposed to him because of his methods and associations and insist he is for the "interests" first last and aI the time. They assert hia record record would be vigorously attacked and that he not only would lend no strength, but would be a positive drawback to the ticket. It is because of the realization that Mr. Sherman would not be an avail able candidate that the president's po litical advisers are considering other men for second place in case of Mr. Taft's renomlnatlon. The three who loom largest In their eyes are Senator Cummins of Iowa, Gov. Hadley, of Missouri, and Gov. -Deneen of Illinois. It would be ideal of course to get a New Yorker, one strong enough to carry the state. But the field does not offer any one who has slufficient strength to accomplish this result. If Senator Cummins would accept second place ho would add tremendously to the ticket. But Mr. Cummins would prefer his present office, with Its Independence and power, to that of vice president, the duties of which, except in the event or resigna; tlon of the president are confined to presiding over the senate. " .K Col. Roosevelt desired Mr. Hadley to be Mr. Taft's running mate in 1908. But the ill health of the Missourian at the time prevented this. Missouri, of course is a doubtful state and Mr. Had-, ley could give strength to the ticket, HER BUSY DAY. Last Monday afternoon', Mrs. Gray, while up town, was much surprised to meet the colored woman who does her washing. "Why, Mrs. Johnson! said Mrs. Gray, "I thought this was your busy day." "Did use ter be," came the reply, "but Ah uses . Hewitt's Easy Task soap now an' gits all done 'fore dinner. It sure does the business in short order." It does "do the business" and it only costs a nickel. THE PRACTICABLE. Those tilings that are not practicable are not desirable. There is nothing in the world that is really beneficial that does not lie within the reach of an informed understanding and a well protected pursuit There is nothing that God has judged good for us that he has not given us the means to accomplish both in the natural and in die moral world. If we cry, like , children, for the moon, like children we must cry on. Burke.

BLOW Af REPORTERS

No Longer Allowed to Sleep in Council Hall. After the council reporters on the lo cal dallies had departed from the meet ing last night, having tired of hearing the different city fathers call each other and the city administration various names,- Councilman Oscar Williams arose, and using reporters for a object unburdened wails the like of which surely has not been heard since Brutus mourned at the funeral of Ceasar. he quoth as follows: "Your Honor, friends, and fellow councilman, Varily I say, to you. the reporters are the limit. Why stand we the insults of that scribe who goes to sleep, Or that hunky who places his clods on the .table? Teli me, Oh City Fathers, How long? How long? Oh, Council men, how long shall we endure these grevious insults? Besides, say I to you. They print nothing right in the pa pers. That yap sleeps. Varily he shall awaks, t Only, Gentlemen, to hear the last of something. Oh Mayor, how long? How long? Then he who sits on the throne ordered Mace Bearer Ed. McXally, who keeps order in the council to apply the hook in the future to any reporter who dared to go to sleefj in council or to put his feet on the table. This, it might be said, is a blow at a time honored custom among local newspaper reporters, originated by, Strickland Gillilian. As for going .to sleep, a number in the audience last evening, including a former president of the board of works, was likewise guilty.

Ten persons were hurt before the fire department dis persed the mobs with streams of water. The Mayor immediately called for a hundred volunteers to maintain order. , oHARK PRODUCTS Evan the Bones Are Useful, the Spina as a Walking Stick. , Products obtained from the shark are both numerous and valuable. Shark fins furnish a jelly that makes a delicious soup, if one may credit the statements of those affecting that delicacy. There is an excellent market for this jelly wherever Chinese are to be found. The shark's liver gives a splendid clear oil excellently adapted for the lubrication of the parts of watches, clocks and fine guns. This oil is held in some quarters in as high esteem as is the oil obtained from porpoise and dogfish liver. long claimed to be the finest of animal oils. Sharkskin is of much value. It is of a beautiful burnished gray or bluish color and at first glance looks like finely grained leather by reason of the tiny prickles plentifully set one way. There are so many of these prickles, quite invisible to the naked eye, that the effect afforded by the dried skin is one of rich beauty, a quality that makes it particularly valuable for the manufacture of shagreen. It is employed for many decorative purposes. Even the bones of sharks are useful. The spine is In constant demand by the manufacturers of curious walking sticks. They pass a thin malacca or steel rod through the polished and round vertebrae, and the result is a cane that sells for a high price. The shark spine stick is a great favorite in Germany.

A GENERAL DENIAL

TO THE COMPLAINT General denial to the allegations of the complaint of Mary E. Maupin against the Prudential Insurance company, demand 102, was filed by John P. Robbins, counsel for the defendent corporation in the Wayne circuit court Tuesday. The amount to whicli the complainant is entitled to, it is set forth in the answer, is but $51.90. half of the amount involved in the Industrial iolicy, which was carried by William J. Arvin, father of the plaintiff. It is alleged that no more is due the complainant because it is a part of the contract that in case the policy holder should die within six months after acceptance of, the policy, only one-half of the amount insured for, should be paid by the insuring corporation. SUIT ON NOTE TO BE HEARD MAY 22 Defendants in the case of James Carpenter and hia wife. Pearl, against William F. Brown and wife? Elizabeth, are summoned to appear in the Wayne circuit court on May 22. The Browns are colored. It is alleged in the com plaint against them, in which demand is made for a comparatively small sum on a promissory note, that Brown has transferred his holdings to his wife. Brown is understood to have al leged tbat he owned no property ex cept a watch, and the clothes on his back and therefore could not be held liable for the outstanding claim. Halter Skelter. "Helter skelter" has been suggestively defined as a jingling expression vaguely imitating the hurried clatter of feet rapidly and Irregularly moved. Most dictionaries, however, led astray probably by the ordinary orthography, have missed the true etymology of this phrase. It should be "belter kelter." "Heifer" is an old word for "bang." probably connected with baiter, and "kelter" Is used by old writers In the sense of "order" or the proper state. Thus Barrow, the divine, says, "If the organs of prayer be out of kelter how can we pray?" "Helter skelter," therefore, is literally "hang order" and means. "Oh. hang order; let us do It, or let it take its chance." Ben Jonson in "Every Man In His Humor" writes. "Helter skelter, bang sorrow, care Ml kill a cat" and Shakespeare, using it to express rush and hurry, says, "Helter skelter have 1 rode to thee." Horseradish as a Vegetable. In Germany horseradish is frequently made into an excellent cooked vegetable which goes particularly well with boiled mutton or chicken fricassee. It is made as follows: Grate as usual and stew till tender in butter; mix well with grated : Parker House rolls, one cupful of the latter to three of the horseradish, and boil up once more, adding a heaping teaspoonful of sugar. Served with very firmly jellied currant jelly, scooped out with a teaspoon and laid in solid little ovals like a wreath round ', the white ; mound of horseradish., this delectable dish looks almost as good as it tastes.

Never ask any one to supply you with a missing word, says a writer in the Atchison Globe, and if the experience which he relates is typical it is good advice. A woman was engaged recently in writing a letter to a friend, in which she was telling of what they had to eat at a party. She was getting along very well when all of a sudden she stopped to think. "What," she called to her family, "is that green stuff that grows up straight?" "Evergreen trees," some one replied. "Oh, no," said the woman; "I mean something to eat" "Onions," was the reply. "No," she said, "not onions." "Lettuce," "beans." "peas," and so on, were all called out by the family, all anxious to supply the missing word. "None of them is right," said the woman. Then she tried a new tack. "What is it." she said, "they serve on toast?" . "Poached eggs," said one member of the family. V "Jam," said another. Then the woman got up, tore ber letter into pieces and put the thing off till later on. Three days later she was in a grocery store and saw something marked "15 cents a bunch" that sent her running all the way home. - ;;; V" "It was asparagus!" she cried. "I should think some of you might have known it was asparagus! Didn't I say it grew up straight and was served on toast?"

JanesvUle Riding Cultivates

TWO-ROW CULTIVATOR The Janesville Two-Bow Cultivator doubles the amount of work done In a day by the single row cultivator and three horses are able to handle it ju6t as easily as two horses ' handle the single row cultivator. CONSTRUCTION TWO BALANCING LEVERS The frame is made of the very best of wide angle bar steel and heavy braces keep it from sagging and getting out of shape. Balancing levers are placed on each wheel axle. The adjustment of these levers enables the operator to balance the machine per- " fectly, doing away with all neck weight. .-: 3 . " ' ' ' GANG LEVERS The gang levers are placed with the view of handling them with the greatest ease and comfort The outside levers are longer and lift the outside gangs only. The inner levers lift the gangs by pairs. Strong lifting springs aid greatly in the manipulation cf the. gangs under all conditions. The gangs themselves are hung on compression springs. , . , MALLEABLE PARTS BOLTED ON All shafting is square, obviating the use of set screw. Thus all ' the malleable parts attached thereto are bolted and will never become loosened as they would if held on , simply by ordinary set screws. ; .s TWO-ROW GANGS EASILY OPERATED The front gang connection allows the gangs to be set close together or wide apart just as the operator desires. The connection is very simple and easily adjusted. The guiding loops are placed at the extreme rear of the middle gangs, giving the greatest possible leverage. It has been the Universal verdict of those who use the Janesville Two-Row, that the two pairs of gangs can be operated more easily (in proportion) than one pair as ordinarily hung In the f nunc of a single row cultivator. , , ; SEAT The seat is adjustable toany position the rider may select It can be set higher or lower by the adjustment of the connection at the forward end of the seat bars, and the seat itself may also be slid backward or forward on the seat bars. j LINE GUIDE The Wne guides are an exclusive feature of our own. The open eye at their upper end ; allows the lines to be quickly slipped into place and all possibility of-their catching any where on the; machine la done away with. -. ' ' - . . WHEELS Large heavy wide tire wheels are used: 44 in. high, 14 staggered spokes, 3 in. tires, 8 in. bearings. These are equipped with, removable boxings and are oiled by long distance grease cups. THE HITCH On the Janesville Two-Row has the greatest range of action to be found on any cultivator or its kind a very vital indeed.

Just when Mrs. Ackroyd had finished packing her trunks and after William Ackroyd had bought railway tickets for her and their two daughters little Bessie came down with a severe case of whooping cough. The doctor poU tlvcly refused to let the child start oa a long jouruey. and even if he had thought it safe for the little one to leave home he assured Mrs. Ackroyd that she would not be permitted to take the patient into a hotel anywhere. 'Isn't it a shame?" the distressed lady wailed, "Here we are with everything in our trunks, and my husband has eveu bought our berths in tbe sleeper.", ' , "It is unfortunate, but I don't know what you can do except sit down and wait four or five days. It may be safe then for you to start away." When her husband got home that evening Mrs. Ackroyd was weeping. ''Don't take it so bard, dear," he said. "It might be a good deal worse. Our little one is likely to get along all right The doctor says the case isn't an unusually severe one. and when I telephoned him this afternoon he said he thought it might be safe for you to start away by the end of the week." "I know. He told me the same thing. But I feel that we'll never go. I never postponed anything yet that didn't turn out sadly, I once postponed a wedding, and the marriage never took place."
