The German League viii Make Its Fight
the Candidate
H. Won Langen, who is one Of the
founders of the German league, has re-
turned from the meeting At Salina
"No, sir" he said, n speaking of the
meeting, "we didn't endorse any party.
There was an effort made by both Dem
ocrats and Populists to get an endorse
ment, but they didn't get it. There were
members of all parties in the league
meeting-the greater number being
Democrats and Populists. but there were
some Republicans there, too. The Re
publicans didn't say anything though.
They were silent like their platform
ssWhile the league did not endorse any
ticket it did decide to support no candi-
date who is in favor Of woman suffrage
or prohibition. We intend to concentrate
our strength on the legislature and judg-
es. A committee was appointed in each
congressional district. whose business it
is to find out where the candidates stand
on these questions. This committee will
receive reports from the counties in the
district, and the members Will be gov
erned accordingly"

The Motion for Jury Trial Is Temper
arily CVerruled-
CHICAGO, Sept. 5-The hearing of the
contempt case against President Debs
and other officers of the A. r. T., which
was discontinued on July 20, was taken
circuit court this morning.
Counsel Walker, for the government,
announced a supplemental bill of in
formation. Attorney Gregory. for the
defense. moved for jury trial, which
was temporarily Overruled- The taking
of evidence was then begun.
President Debs was unable to be pres
ent owing to serious illness, but the other
defendants were IN court
Attorneys for the Santa Fe railroad,
which had brought proceedings against
the defendants similar to those of the
government. asked leave to amend their
bill. Judge Woods ruled that while the
testimony heard should be considered as
testimony in the government case, it
should also be applicable to the Santa
Fe proceedings.
E. A. Mulford, jr., manager of the
Western Union Telegraph company was
called and produced a collection of over
5000 telegrams bearing upon the strike.
The defense bitterly objected to the ad-
mlttance Of kilograms, but Judge Woods
finally admitted them. Dozens Of them
were read and when the famous Save
your money and buy a gun" message
was read, it was found that it also con
tanned the words. "Tell Efie I am
WE'LL showing it TO be a private tele-
gram.
Attorney Gregory took occasion to de-
nounce the prosecution for giving the
incomplete message for publication.
Judge Woods said that he did not con
slider that the alleged garbling Of the
dispatch amounted t0 much.
when I read that telegram in the
papers, said the court 4 did not attach
much importance 70 it a. it did NOT ap-
pear particularly incendiary."
Is WAS shown that De bs had nothing to

scarcely able to stand, as he walked
slowly 70 his seat Mr.. Debs had not
expected TO be present at today's pro-
ceedings, and left his bed against his
physicians orders
Witness Brernock testified to having
secured during the strike an order Of

used in having some switching done in
the railroad yards. He said he expert
enced much difficulty in having the rail-
road cars moved.

The recent rumors that the Hannibal

soon, is denied by the officers of the latter

the fourth time delegates from the eigh-
teen branches Of the A. r. T. at Pullman
have failed to meet in response TO Il call
summoning them to consider the matter
of declaring the strike at an end.
1t is said that the reason for this ap-
parent apathy on the part of the strikers
is that the majority of each union are at
present employed in the shops.

Some Timely s-ggestions Regarding Warm
Weather Clothing.
There nre many ways of keeping cool
In hot weather besides getting under a
shower bath or sleeping In the cellar.
Common sense will keep away many of
the ills that come from excessively hot
weather and science will do the rest.
People have an idea, for example,
that cotton is good deal cooler than
wool. Cotton will lie close TO the skin,
get wet and speedily become uncom-
Portable. A high grade of spun wool,
OF an extremely light weight, will not
stick TO the skin and will thus leave
room for the air TO circulate between
the steaming body and the product of
the blessed sheep. This seems to be n
funny idea, but IL Is full of truth.
Another truth that science has helped
10 furnish and which Is better under
stood by the people at large is that
in summer wear. IL Is a matter
of general knowledge that black
is not suitable color for tho warm
months. II attracts the heat and
keeps IL. Anyone who has worn n
pair OF patent leather shoes in the
sunlight of summer and then changed
TO russell or white shoes under the
same conditions of weather will re-
member the sense OF relief that fol-
lowed.
So IL is n wise thing TO do TO put
away black and other very dark gar
ments and adopt coats and trousers
made of white. Such garments not
only look cooler, but, in point of fact,
they are cooler.
Some foolish people are deluded into
the notion that ice water is cooling. II
is for the instant, but the reaction is as
hot as n Wyoming geyser. To cool
the head, apply a cool-not cold
damp towel TO the veins that supply
the cranial section with its blood.
Keep quiet, keep your temper, eat
and you may laugh at the
antics of the sun.-St Louis Globe
Democrat
