OLD PARTIES ARE SCAREDSAYS T. R. Passes Through Indiana -Today and Gives Encouragement to Followers .

(National Xew Association) MUNC1E, Ind., Sept. 3. "The two old partica are scared. They are doing all they can to meet me. I'll give them a hard fight. We'll win out, too.." ThiB utterance of Col. Roosevelt today, as his train stopped at this city, evinced the confidence the ex-president is beginning to have as to his ultimate chance of winning the election. While Roosevelt considers he has the fight of his life on his hands, he expects that, as the campaign goes along, he would be able to swing the sentiment his own way. The attitude of the crowds in Connecticut yesterday coming on the heels of the whirlwind campaign in Vermont, impelled the Colonel to say that the Progressive party is gaining in force. He wants to get Woodrow Wilson Into the open in an aggressive battle that he can puncture his armor. If he can avoid it, Roosevelt will have little to say about President Taft) desiring to give the Impression that he regards the president as out of the race. His allusions to the president up to this time, have been brief. He has attacked the Republican party's platform and the performances of the Taft administration, but has refrained from indulging in any severe assault upon the president individually. Roosevelt read on the train this morning of the attack made upon him by Gov. Wllfon in Buffalo. H,e observed that he has taken up the cudgel against Wilson at once. In his St. Louis speech late today it is expected that the colonel will make sharp reply to the governor. On' the train last night Roosevelt Wm. H. Hotchkiss, N. Y. state chairman of the progressives who was on his way to Syracuse to attend the stats Bull Moose convention. Hotchkiss and the Colonel talked over the whole New York state situation. During the. talk, it is said Roosevelt expressed a preference for William A. Fnrergrast, comptroller of New York, as the party candidate 'ior governor. If. Prpndergast does not accept, Brainbrfdts Colby is regarded as Roosevelt's choice. The Colonel declined to ta.lk of the state convention today, saying that it was "all in the hands of the pr 5ple." ....... .Tbr people do their, own picking of candidates." .Roosevelt's schedule gets him to St. Louis late this afternoon. He remains i-ntil 7:30 o'clock when he rushes on to Ft. Paul. T're Colonel was hugely disappointed this morning when he learned that a ero'vd of 5,000 people had waited at the depot at Syracuse in the raia last rfght in a vain effort to see him. Roosevelt was fast 6leep after a fat'gulng day when the train pulled into Syracuse at 10 o'clock, and his Secretary declined to awaken him. The crowd stood patiently in the rain until the train pulled out.. r , Mighty Queer. ,'Tlie. nepro on occasions displays a fine discrimination in the choice of word"; says the National Monthly. "Who's the best whitewasher in unvn?" inquired the new resident. "Ale Hall am a bo'nd a'tist with a whitewash brush, sah." answered the elorod patriarch eloquently. "Well, tell him to come and whitewash my chicken house tomorrow." Untie Jacob shook bis head dubiously. . . J"Ah don't believe, sah, Ah'd engage Ale Hall to whitewash a chicken libuse. sah."

GEORGIANJCILLS SELF Commits Suicide in Chicago Hotel Reason Unknown.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 3. H. H. Adams, of Macon, Ga., killed himself early today in his room in the Hotel Planters here. He shot himself through the temple. A note in the room asked tho police to notify his father to take charge of the body. - From papers in Adams' possession it was found that the young man was a member of the firm of C. M. Adams and Sons, insurance brokers of Macon. Adams had been here since August 26. The reason of his suicide is not known. Since his bill at the hotel was left unpaid and he apparently had no money, police inclined to the theory that financial difficulties might have been the cause. Attaches of the hotel, however, think the extreme heat of the past few days may have brought on temporary unbalance. Adams had complained of the heat and had acted in a peculiar manner for some days. Few, if any, medicines, have met with the uniform success that has attended the use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The remarkable cures of colic and diarrhoea which it has effected in almost every neighborhood have given it a wide reputation. For sale by all dealers. A WARNING ISSUED BY SENATOR BOURNE To Guard Against Emasculation of the Initiative and Referendum. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., president of the national Progressive league, has issued an appeal to popular government advocates to guard against the emasculation of the initiative and referendum. He said: "Three general expedients are resorted to to defeat the initiative and referendum. First, by making the required percentage of petitioners so high as to practically prevent the filing of petitions for either the initiative or referendum; second, by exempting from the referendum all measures that bear the mere declarations of the legislature that an emergency exists; third, by requiring that measures submitted to the vote of the people under the initiative shall not become effective until ratified by an affirmative vote of all the votes cast at tho election. Experience has demonstrated that the initiative and referendum powers are practically nullified if the number of required signers to petitions be materially greater than the per cent for the iniative or five per cent for the. referendum. Experience also rhows that some of the most meritorious measures that have been adopted under the initiative would have failed of adoption if the constitution had required ah affirmative majority of all the votes cast at the election. Each measure should stand or fall according to the majority of votes cast thereon. "In the campaign which is now progressing many states for the election of state legislators, who will be called upon to vote for the submission of initiative and referendum amendments to friends of popular government should not be deceived but should insist on the submission of such amendments in practical form." PRAISES INSTITUTE In the opinion of Charles O. Williams, county superintendent of public instruction, this year's session of the Wayne County Teachers' institute, ;was by far the most successful of any institute held in this county. Supt. Williams declared today that he was well pleased with the session and that he believed every teacher who attended any of the meetings profited by so doing. "The talent this year was above the ordinary," said the superintendent. "The attendance was also good, although it was no better than the attendance of last year." QUEENS BIRTHDAY (National News Association) HONOLULU. Sept. 3. Former Queen Liliuokalani, who entered upon her seventy-fifth year today, held a large public reception in honor of the anniversary. During the day she received presents and messages of congratulations from friends and followers in all parts of the islands.

LIVING 111 FEAR

OF THEIR LIVES Rockefeller and Family Threatened by Black Hand Assassins. Is (National News Associatlou) NEW YORK, Sept. 3. In fear that a desperate band of blackmailers, whose letters have thrown John D. Rockefeller and members of hid family into a state of terror, will attempt to carry out their threats of assassination and kidnapping, elaborate measures are being employed today to protect the Standard oil millionaire's family at his Pocantico hills estate. Armed guards about the big estate have been doubled until thirty men are now on duty, including several special deputy sheriffs and six men from the W. J. Burns agency. The seriousness of the threats against the Rockefellers, lies in the fact that the blackmailers declare they will dynamite the Oil King's magnificent home if their communications are ignored. Some of these letters have been traved to Palermo, Italy, where Detective Petroeiuo of the New York police department was murdered. The amount demanded from the Oil millionaire was in the millions. The letters directed him if he valued ; his wife and property, to open nego tiations for the payment of this sum, and told him in what way to open negotiations. He has been given until September 12, to pay the vast sum demanded. The letters through the mails did not worry the Rockefellers at first. As a matter of fact, it is not believed they saw them, because the mail received from cranks always has been large. It was when, with guards about the house, the letters directed to Mr. Rockefeller or his son, sometimes to the foreman of the estate, and sometimes to the negro boss of the laborers, were found placed in prominent parts of the grounds, that alarm began to be felt. Then came letters threatening to dynamite the place and to kidnap the children of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Immediate action was taken to protect every part of the estate, every member of the family and the bosses of laborers, so that the estate today retembles an armed camp. Eighteen negro watchmen have been armed with repeating rifles and revolvers. At the entrance to the estate, the guns are resting against the pil- ' lars of the gates, hidden from view. but in the pocket of each guard there is a heavy revolver, of the army pattern. Five savage great Dane dogs also have been added to the force of guards. The blackmailers have directed their kidnapping threats against the Oil King, his son and the latter'a two youngest children, who are now ill of measues at the Kent house.

(National News Association) SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 3. The police department here has received a letter dated St. Louis, purporting to be from Charles Stanhope Talvert, a wealthy landowner, formerly of Baltimore, but now claiming St. Louis as his home. According to the letter Talvert murdered three women, one of them being a Miss Bradley, of Pittsburg, whom he threw overboard from a boat in a fit of rage. The letter stated he was on his way to kill his niece, Mr b. Henry Bowers, of Pittsfield, 111., but he was overpowered by a suicidal mania and otok his own life. Police of Pittsburgh, Baltimore and St. Louis have been asked to locate either Talvert or his body. Mrs. Henry Bowers stated this afternoon that Talvert had been appointed administrator of the estate of her grandfather, James a fortune of $150,000 at Baltimore. Her grandfather left her $50,000, but as yet she has never received a cent from it. CANT READ THEIR LIPS. When Actors Do Not Face the Audience It Bothers the Deaf. "Time and time again we're asked to have our actors face the andience squarely when speaking lines that are of great importance," a theatrical manager said recently. "The explanation for the request Is generally the same that deaf people In the audience who depend on lip reading rather than hearing lose the run of the play if some important lines are spoken by a person whose lips can't be read. An actor or actress who's stuck on posing in profile is always the despair of the deaf people in the audience, as they say it's almost impossible to read lips in profile. "Out ticket agent bears another side of the same question. People tell him when buying tickets that some one in the party Is stone deaf and must read the Hps of the actors In order to follow the play. Then they ask him on which side of the theater these par ticular seats should be located to make this lip reading the most satisfactory. Often the stage setting decides which way the actors must face, and if a deaf person gets on the wrong side of the house the play is practically lost." New York Sun. 0 I i t

GREAT FLOODS DID TERRIBLE DAMAGE Thirty-Nine Victims Known and Property Loss Will Be Tremendous.

(Natlo-al News Association! t ru loaLKijH, fa., sepi. a. i nirxynine persons are known to have been drowned as the result pf a series of cloudbursts and storms throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, causing property losses estimated high in the millions. The death list may mount higher. The heavy storms of Sunday night caused many streams in this district to rise above their banks, and the valleys soon became the beds of wild rivers, which swept into destruction ail lives and property in their paths. Heavy electrical storms through the day added to the flood and lightning started many disastrous fires throughout the flooded districts. Hundreds of families are homeless and shivering on the damp hillsides. Railroad traffic is greatly impeded and many cities were in total darkness, both electric and gas plants being flooded. Hundreds of industrial works are under water and the employes will be rendered idle, possibly for. weeks until the damage can be repaired. Among the towns which suffered principally from the rise of water were Washington. Beaver, Burgettstown, Canonsburg, and many smaller places throughout the Chartlers, Cherry and Beaver velleys, while in West Virginia Colliers and surrounding territory suffered principally. The dead at various points thus far ascertained number: At Hollidays Cove, six; at Colliers, nine; at Cherry Valley, 13; at Burgettstown, 3. Railroad traffic received probably the most damage from the downpour. Traffic between Steubenvllle. Wheeling and Pittsburgh over the Panhandle road, was knocked out, and it la reported that it will take a week to place the tracks in normal condition. General Manager George L. Peck and D. Frank Crawford, superintendent of motive power, left Pittsburgh at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon on a special train and managed to push their way through, partly on foot, as far as New Cumberland Junction. While returning last night Mr. Peck summed up the known damage done the Panhandle railroad as follows: On the main line four steel girder bridges were carried away, including the masonry. The first abutment of the stone arch bridge at Hollidays Cove gone. On the New Cumberland branch two steel girder bridges washed away and bridge No. 35, three miles this side of Hanlits, on the main line, completely undermined. The West 'Virginia line is just 'east of Colliers, and thence westward for seven miles the tracks are absolutely gone. Wanted Apprentice girl at Tinney's Millinery Store, 10 North 8th St. 311

Before a small house, Eddie Webber, Indianapolis welterweight last night at the Coliseum, clearly demonstrated his ability to wallop and get away, when he mixed it with Young Donelly. also of Indianapolis for ten rounds. Donelly was clearly out of training and eowld 'rot stand the pace Webber wanted to go. Out of mercy for his unden rained opponent Webber did not hit hard neither did he force the fighting, but seemed satisfied to show up Donelly. Webber outpointed Donelly in five of the ten rounds, and more than held his own in the other ive. Webber could easily have knocked his man down and out many times, but seemed to like to fight it out and give the crowd a run for its money, j Billy Benson and Harry Clapp went ; on for six rounds in which Benson j Lecause of lack of knowledge of the ! game, was outpointed by his slugging 'but unscientific opponent. i .mi a . v. i luuug niiiara iuu luuug jeuritB, lightweights of this city, went for four fast rounds.
