He is to holler all he wants to, and by and by, not Immediately, but in due time, a railroad bill is to be recommended to congress by the president. Under the terms of that bill the railroads will be required to cut off rebates and other discriminating practices. That will please the owners of the roads, but not the officers. " 'For the same reason free passes of all kind will be abolished. Tooling Is to be allowed under the name of maximum rates, and under these maximum rates the railroads will be permitted to take from the country from $300,000,000 to (400,000,000 more than they are now getting. This, of course, 'will permit an increase of the capital atock of all railroad corporations. The whole thing has been agreed to.' i "I told this railroad magnate I did not believe it. I said that no man could make me believe Theodore (Roosevelt would make such a bargain to obtain his election. But when the annual message of 1905 went to congress be recommended most of these things. I wrote to President Rooseyelt and told him what I heard and .that I thought the man lied, but now I must believe he had not. It was the only letter of mine Mr. Roosevelt 'ever failed to answer." Members of the committee asked Mr. Barker to give the name of the financial man who had told him that Roosevelt was to be elected. ' "I cannot do It," said Mr. Barker, taut subsequently somebody was alleged to have stolen some correspondence between Mr. Harriman and the president, telling of $250,000 put up for election expenses in the city of New York."

A Chicago story has it that no less than six of the Cub regulars are to be placed on the market this winter.

The South Bend club of the Cenral league, has signed a second baseman named Andrew Sphcolskl. Did you et it? U "Buddy" Ryan can live up to hiB reputation gained on the Pacific coast, Cleveland will surely have a bunch of sluggers nixt season. The recent death of President Russell, of the, Boston Nationals, will no doubt cause the sale of the Rustlers and a change in the management. Now that Hal Chase has resigned as manager of the New York Americans, Gotham fans are trying to figure out ('ho will lead the Yankees next season. From all accounts Messrs. Ebhets, of Brooklyn, Fogel of Philadelphia and Murphy, of Chicago, made a big hit with the minor league magnates at the recent meeting in San Antonio, Texas. Hot Springs, Ark., will get the bulk of the big leaguers during the training season. The Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Brooklyn and Cincinnati teams of the National league, and the Cleveland and Boston teams of the American league will work out among the Ozarks. FOOTBALL NOTES. ' Cue of the greatest struggles on the Western gridiron this season was the Minnesota-Wisconsin 6-6 tie game. The Dartmouth eleven made a fine showing this season, but was not quite strong enough to down Princeton or Harvard. Penn and Cornell are hard at work preparing for their last game of the Season, which will take place Thanksgiving day. Trinity college, with only 250 students, turned out an eleven that defeated Colgate, Wesleyan and the Massachusetts Aggies. Jimmy Thorpe of the Carlisle eleven, Is one of the wonders of the athletic world. Coming to Carlisle in 1908 with no knowledge whatever of athletics, be has since then accomplished a marvelous variety of athletic feats on floor, gridiron, diamond, track and field. WITH THE BOXERS.

HORSE LIKED FUDGE Animal, Tasting Sweet, Forgot About Balking.

BOSTON, Nov. 29. A balky, horse completely tied up traffic at the corner of School and Tremont street. Its driver and others, and traffic policemen, whipped' it, yanked at its bridle, coaxed it all In vain. The situation had become serious when came along an attractive young woman. She took a piece of chocolate fudge from her pocket and fed it to the horse; muncbing the candy it followed the pretty girl, who walked away, coaxingly holding out another piece of fudge. The horse got that in due time. In the block's length the fudge was all gone, but so wa3 the horse's balkineaa. "I'd follow her anywhere myself," exclaimed a young traffic policeman. "And without the fudge, too," returned his fellow. BOWLING SCORES.

Tom Is owned by Mrs. David MacElrath, and is the pride lot the neighborhood. .

ILLINOIS EDITORS

ENDORSE PRESIDENT Condemn Initiative and Referendum and Demand Party Loyalty. (National News Association) SPRINGFIELD, 111., Nov. 29 - -The nois has specifically endorsed President Taft for re-election. Other action taken by the editors included: National and state Republican administrations "heartily" indorsed. Protection and "scientific" revision of tariff approved. Initiative and referendum condemned as socialism. Party loyalty demanded of all aspirants for Republican primary nominations. State-wide vote recognized as the standard in the advisory vote for United States senator. Direct primary law condemned for all officers except county and less and convention system recommended for all offices greater than county. Insidious misrepresentation and garbled statements of tL.1 metropolitan press declared abhorrent. AS TO NUISANCES By Dr. J. N. Hurty BY DR. J. N. HURTY Two kinds of nuisance are defined by law, viz: Health Nuisance and Property Nuisance. A Health Nuisance is defined as "'Any condition whatever, which may transmit, generate or promote disease." Such nuisance conies directly within the jurisdiction of health authorities and can be abfted according to the law as follows: "And it shall be the duty of all health commissioners and all health officers upon hearing in any way of the existence of said unlawful conditions within their respective jurisdictions, to order their abatement in writing, if demanded, and specifying particularly wherein said conditions may transmit disease, and naming the shortest reasonable time for abatement." If this order of the health officer is not obeyed within the time specified, he shall inform the prosecuting attorney who shall institute proceedings in the courts for enforcement. Certain conditions specified in law (See Section 535, Acts of 1905) which are "Injurious to the comfort or property of individuals or the public," cr which j "Essentially interfere with the com ! fortable enjoyment of life," constitute a nuisance against property. Such nuis-! diction of health authorities, but must be abated through legal action in the courts by the injured property owner. j Manifestly all nuisances against health j j are at tho same time nuisances against property, but the reverse is not true, j A manure pile, unprotected from flies, jis a positive nuisance against health ! j because it may "generate, transmit or j promote disease, ana can or course 1 be abated by health officials. The same manure pile is a nuisance against ! property, because it is offensive to the senses and an injury to property. A fertilizer factory emits a horribly offensive odor, which odor in itself is not a nuisance against health, but is a 'decided nuisance against property. Such nuisance cannot be abated by i health authorities but must be proowners. Health officers must bear in ! mind the legal distinction between j I nuisances against health and those against property only and be guided in their official acts accordingly. FIRST AID. A Case Where It us. Aoni;4 Mot! Wisoly, but Too Well. An extremely ludicrous incident 01 etirred in a fashionable church on a recent Sunday.

With kind regards, I am Very truly yours, ROBERT M. LAFOLLETTE. Didn't Keep a Diary. At an important triai in a London law- court one of the witnesses was an Irishwoman who was decidedly hard to handle. She was particularly categorical as to her dates and told how "this happened at 4:27 on Tuesday, this at 6:33 on Friday," and so on. At last the patience of the advocate was exhausted. "My dear woman," said the exasperated counsel, "do you keep a diary?" "No, sir," replied the woman, "a dramshop." The Way It Helps. When Sir Andrew Clark, Mr. Gladstone's physician, recommended a patient to drink wine the latter expressed some surprise, saying he thought Sir Andrew was a temperance doctor to which Sir Andrew Clark replied: "Oh, wine does sometimes help you to get through work. For instance, I j have often twenty letters to answer after dinner, and a pint of champagne is a great help." "Indeed," said the patient, "does a pint of champagne really help you to answer the twenty letters?" "No, no!" said Sir Andrew. "But when I've had a pint of champagne I don't care a rap whether I answer them or not!" Have a Purpose. Have a purpose. No one ever reached great things without trying for them. Thoughts of what is great, love for great ideals, daily acts done in a great spirit, prepare the hero's hour and bring it to him. Purpose makes or mars life. Purposelessness ruins life. He Wasn't an Exception. It was married men's night at the revival meeting. "Let all you husbands who have troubles in your minds stand up!" shouted the emotional preaches at the height of his spasm Instantly every man in the church rose to his feet except one. "Ah!" exclaimed the preacher, peering out at this lone sitter, who occupied a chair near the door and apart from the others. "You are one in a million." "It ain't that," piped back this one helplessly as the rest of the congregation turned to gaze suspiciously at him. "I can't get up; I'm paralyzed!" The Abduction. An Englishman from the rural districts who was on a visit to London drew up in a four wheeler opposite the British museum and. having alighted, timidly approached the cabman and tendered him 1 shilling and 6 pennies as his fare. Cabby, descrying a half sovereign among the coppers, whipped up bis horse and drove frantically away. Hearing cries from the countryman, I AEf'T GOT SOTIilH' OF HIS.' who ran after the cab, he had an attack of deafness untIL nearing Holborn viaduct, he was stopped by a po-1 liceman. j The countryman, much out of! breath, soon came up with the cab, j and cabby mentally bade goodby to! the half sovereign. "I ain't got nothin of his, said the driver, turning appealingly to the policeman. "Yes, be hevr yelled the flustered countryman. "Ye ran away wl mo grandmother!" Sure enough, there waa the old lady stni in tho cab and staring, pale with fright, at the crowd and policeman. The wreck record of the Baltic is greater than that of any other body of water.

GAVE ENCOURAGEMENT Evangelist Tells the Church Members of Faith.

"To them that love God, all things work together for good," said the Rev. H. D. Kennedy last evening, while speaking to a large audience attending the revival service at the First M. E. church. The evangelist was o.uot-' ing from the eighth chapter of the j epistle to the Romans by the Apostle j Paul, which he used as the text of his sermon. Rev. Kennedy's remarks were mostly encouragement for church members urging them to be more trustful in the Lord. Ineidenta'ly he said that the book of Romans was an ideal kev to tl!e ot Paul, and that the single Phrase uoted ave a tru6 insight into th aPstte'8 life" He 8how how raui s career nau oeen niiea witn changes, both favorable and aQverso, and that in spite of appearances, the t hanSes alwas improved Paul's condi-: ,ion and tne aP8l!e realized the fact, The evanKst referred to numerous ; and proved the truth of his text by ""' V- . . ill.... 11... lum ii'ii 1 11 f uaiu iiuefa jiutt? valuable lessons, and should not be abhorr ed." The crowd. which was very large considering the inclement weather, showed good spirit, and greatly appreciated the sermon. One more person was converted and received into the church membership, making a total of ! 41 new members since the opening of the services, eighteen days ago. The : evengelist is planning to make the ; meetings during the remainder of this 1 week exceptionally interesting and to ', bring the revival to almost successful close Sunday.

BEND, OREGON, HAD REAUfflTIOllS Natives See Locomotive, and Then Get First View of Live Lobster.

Optional News Association) PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 29. Lobsters have at last come to Central Oregon. They followed the advent of the railroads and caused almost equal excitement. A cafe in the Mid-Oregon city of Bend has just offered lobsters and crabs for the first time and the town was thrown into a furore. In the old days, when all communication with the outside world was by stage, such succulent delicacies were unknown to the interior. The long stage ride was too unhealthy for the sea denizens for the ice would have melted within a short ristance of the Columbia River. So the actual advent of the shellfish nonplussed the oldest resident, who had never seen such things before. Only a few weeks ago many residents of Beud had never seen a locomotive and were awestricken when the Urst one puffed into town. They know what to expect though, for they had read of engines and trains, but the sight of such wierd things as lobsters and crabs, that looked like huge, overgrown insects, was too much for the comprehension of the people at first. It took time to get over the shock. Cowpunchers, eheepherders, ranchers and local townspeople were Btumped by the novel sight. A steady procession of people oozed through the cafo doors to gather information as to the origin of the strange curstaceans. The assistant to the chef was as stumped as the natives. He knew tbe lobsters were dobsters, because the chef told him so, but he suspected they were caught in Portland and so informed the sightseers. The crabs, be thought, bad been speared at Celilo Falls, although he was not sure. The strange objects were a nine-days wonder, and It was not until after considerable urging that the local sports were induced to eat them. FOOTBALL RULES WILL BE REVISED (National News Association) NKW YORK. Nov. 29. Further suggestions in the movement to "reform reformed football" were made in this city today, and they will probably be acted upon when the rules committee meets to lay down the laws to govern next season's plays. Head Coach Herman P. C. Olcutt of New York university, the old Yale' star, came forward in favor of decreasing the distance to be gained in three downs as one means of making it easier to score. He also counsels further restriction of the forward pass. "Restrictions should be placed upon the men eligible to make the forward pass," he declared. "If only the two ends of one back could make thia play it would take away one feature of the game which gave so much dissatisfaction this Beason." Man Eating Wild Men. In the celebrated "Travalles" ot Edward Webb (1500) are dozens of stories that would make Munchausen turn green with envy. One of tno most celebrated of these is his story of tho wild men of Prester John, which is as follows: "In the court of Prestor Iohn there is a wilde man and another in tho high street of Constantinople whoso allowance is every day a quarter of raw mutton, and when any man dyeth for some notorious offence then tbey are allowed every day a quarter of man's flesh. These wilde men are chained fast to a post every day. the one In Prester Iohn's courtd. the other in the high street of Constantinople, each ot them having a mantel I about their shoulders, and all over their bodyes they have wonderful long ha ire. Tbey are chained by the neck lest tbey speedily devour all that cometh within their reach." DR. B. McWHINNEY Physician and Surgeon Office Gcnnett Theater Building North A Street.
