ALL PURSE STRINGS OPEN.
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CON-
TRIBUTE CAMPAIGN FUNDS.


Mr.. Roosevelt Says Government Clerks
Don't Have to Give Financial Aid-No
Force Employed in the Matter--Intimi-
dation Strictly Prohibited.
WASHINGTON, October 30.-A we'll
known Republican leader not DOW in Office
but prominently connected with the Con-
gressional Campaign Committee, has re-
ceived from Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Civil
Service Commissioner, a contribution of $50
to be used for the legitimate campaign ex-
penses in any Congressional district where
it is needed. Ex-Governor Hugh Thomp-
son, also a member of the commission, has
sent in a contribution in aid of the Demo-
cratic cause. In conversation to-day, Mr..
Roosevelt:
"There is no reason why under Repub-
lican administration-all the contributions
should be made to the Republican cam
paIgn fund-and under a Democratic ad-
ministration they should all be to the
Democratic fund.
'The clerks are as much at liberty to con-
tribute to one party as another, and they
are perfectly safe and free to make no con-
tribution If they SO prefer. Within the
classified service the employees are under OBJ
legations to no party. Governor Thompson
is Democrat serving under this admins
tration; he makes a contribution to aid his
party. 1 am a Republicans; aid mine. If
we did not want to contribute we would not.
No one can force a Government employ to
contribute; nor if he desires to contribute,
compel him to contribute to this party
rather than that
"That is all there is in the question ex-
cept that no empioye shall solicit directly or
indirectly from any other employe, and
none shall give to or take from an employe.
II there are political clubs of which Gov
ernment employees are members, there is no
reason why they should not be Democratic
as well as Republican. But any of them
will be prosecuted if we have evidence of
their trying to secure contributions by in
timidation"

THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING
And s. Hamilton is Prepared Already With
Abundance of Presents.


No sooner is the Exposition over and gone
than thoughts OF the approaching holidays
begin to occupy the minds of customers and
merchants alike. They cause the soul to
thrill with pleasure and fill the heart with
happy emotions. Then is the time that the
doctrine of "peace on earth and good will to
men, is preached with more powerful effect
than at any other time. 1t is the time Of
universal giving and receiving of gifts,
making giyer and receiver equally happy.
There are none so poor that the holy infu-
ences of the season do not descend upon
them and none so rich that they are above
them.
In that glad season what is a more appro-
pirate gift than a musical instrument? It
is valued by its receiver not merely on ac-
count of its loving associations, but for its
intrinsic, pleasure-giving merits, whether il
be grand piano or organ or simple har-
monicon or music box For all who con-
template making holiday presents OF musi-
cal instruments of any description or price

different classes and kind of goods from
which Hamilton gives you chance to make

Iowa Farmers Alliance Excited Over Elec-
ton of Officers.
DEs MONIES, October 3O.-The names Of
more than 700 delegates appear on the roll
of the State Convention of the Farmers AL
lance. The body is unwieldly and disor-
derly. Great confusion marked the pro-
ceedings to-day. The principal business
was the election of officers. Many candi-
dates appeared for each position, and several
ballots were necessary in most cases.
There was considerable discussion in re-
gard to the disposition of 10000 in the
hands of Secretary Post in connection with
tine State purchasing agency, and the mat
ter was finally satisfactorily explained. An
attempt was made to have the convention
indorse J.. NJ. Joseph, the Union Labor
candidate, for Railroad Commissioner, but

mittee on Resolutions, which will report to-
morrow,

HIS LORDSHIP WITH THEM.

Conservatives Arrange to Secure ChurchilPs
Services.
tBY pUNLAP's CABLE coMPANY.l
LONDON, October 30.-It is stated in the
Conservative clubs that it has been arranged
that Lord Randolph Churchill shall once
more give his services to the Conservative
party which feels he should be restored to
actual public life with a responsibility
worthy of his great ability The result OF a
series of conferences held at the Carlton
Club and Of good deal of correspondence
is that Lord Randolph will under no circum-
stances join the present ministry, but ON
change of government he will be offered the
leadership o: the opposition in the House Of
Commons.
Lord Randolph has signifed his assent
and the Tories are preparing for an early
appeal to the country and frankly admit
that change in the Government is likely.
The originators of this understanding are
exultant over the success of what they open.
ly contend secures to the Conservative party
the powerful aid of Lord Randolph at the
general election.

TEETH COST MORE.

The Use of Platinum by the Electricians
Causes the Rise.
False teeth are more expensive now than
six months ago, says Dentist Richard Par
ker in the st. Louis Globe Democrat. The
blame must be laid on the electricians, who
are consuming platinum wire so fast that
manufacturers can charge Just what they
like for it. The price has doubled itself
twice over this year and is still going up in
rapid jumps.
Platinum wire must be used in false teeth
that are OF any use whatever, and hence the
advance. The retail trade is, of course,
going to be blamed, but competition had
brought prices down so as to leave very small
profits before platinum wire jumped up, and
the advance was positive necessity. The
manufacture is largely controlled by trust,
and it is probable higher prices will prevail
this winter

Great Drawback in Costly Cure for Dread
Consumption.
rBT DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANT.l
BERLIN, October 3O.-Particulars in re-
gard TO a cure for consumption invented by
Professor Koch state that metallic salts are
used in the preparation of the lymph. The
lymph, having killed the bacillus, acts as a
medium to re-establish the patients health
by its inherent heating powers, and also
iortIfies him against the farther invasions of
the bacillus.
The lymph is obtained by long and ex-
tremely difficult process at great cost, and
the cure will therefore be available only for
the wealthy, if the remedy is not bought by
the Governments OF the different countries
for the general benefit of humanity, like
smokeless powder for instance. The doctors
who have seen its working declare that the
new invention is greater than the discovery
of chloroform or the antiseptic treatment
which was found Out by Sir Joseph Lister.
