A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case OF Ia grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac-
tory in its results, IS putting it very
mildly, indeed. 1t acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent Cough Remedy

NIGHT FOR BOYS
HALLOWEEN WILL BE CELEBRATED
THIS EVENING.

Chief of Police Campbell Says He VII
Tolerate No Vandalism. and Should AM
Be Perpetrated the Guilty Parties viii
| Be Found Out and Proeecuted-In Pas,
Years BONE Funny Franks Have Been
Played by the Boys, aud In Some Cases
| Much Damage Done to Property
Gates Should Be Taken Indoors
| Tonight Halloween viii be celebrated
| by the boys and girls of this city. Hal
loween occurs on the last night in Octo-
Der, but as it falls on Sunday this year,
| those who go out for frolic will do 50
this evening. In the past much damage
has been done by the mischievous young
sters, which will not be tolerated by the
police department this year. Chief
Campbell said yesterday: II do not want
to abridge the innocent sport of the boys
nor Will 1. but shall not tolerate for an
instant any vandalism. Should any
property be destroyed the matter will
be thoroughly investigated and the guilty
l.
tail the detective force on the case ali
winter"
However, it might be well for all who
have gates to have a care and take time
by the forelock by putting the gates in
the house and forestailing the boys, who
Will not then be tempted to make way
with the gate.
Halloween has been celebrated In
Wichita ever since the first organization
Of the town. and many pranks have been
perpetrated- Only few years ago at the
First ward school on Sunday morning
were found over 300 gates, piled high up
against the front door. Outhouses al,
over the city were turned over, and con-
siderable expense was incurred 10 the
owners in getting things TO rights. Barn
doors were opened and horses and COWS
were turned out, and in some few cases
did not find their way home again for
two or three days. Signs were changed,
which made the business appear ridfcu-
ious The front wheels to a buggy OF
wagon were changed for the back wheels
and every conceivable Bit of mischief
was done that was possible for the boys
to imagine. But it won't go this year
and should any be caught doing any
thing Of the kind they wiz be severely
dealt with.
The girls have never been prone TO
enter into any Of the antics and pranks
bic exception that they would purloin
any gates that they could lift from their
any gates that they could rifht from the
hinges. AS usual thing, they have
gathered Ia groups at some friends
house and had games or dressed in out
landish fashion and called on some of
their adult friends with view of giving
them a scare. Others put up ticktacks
that nearly frightened some tllnid lady
to death
The young grown people usually spend
che evening in dancing or in playing
cards at some home. or pulling candy or
other innocent advertisement. No doubt
many will be out for an evening of fun |
tonight, and no one should be taken una
wares should any OF the usual tricks DE |
played upon them.

STATIONS BADLY DAMAGED.

Washington, Oct. 28.-Superintenden
Kimball of the Life Saving service, re-
ceived letters from a number of the
keepers of life saving stations along the
coast where the storm has been raging,
showing that many of the stations were
damaged by the storm. The keepers
state that the storm was the worst
known in twenty years. The station
at Cobb's Island, Va, was the most bad
ly damaged. The Wachapreague sta
ton, not far from Cobb's Island, was
also badly damaged.
Superintendent Kimball does not think
it will be necessary to build a new sta
tion at Cobb's Island. The damage can
be repaired and the station used for the
remainder of the season. Life boats and
life saving paraphernalia at the differ
ent stations were lost.

Yawl Boat.

Beaufort, N. c., Oct 2S-(Special.)-
At Cape Lookout light house the schoon-

The sea was running high and blowing
a fierce gale, but the captain with great
difficulty approached them. The boat in
attempting to get alongside was cap

THE SOUTH Is The PLACE
NEW ENGLAND COTTON MILLS CAN'T
COMPETE WITH THE SOUTH.
Mr.. Parkinson Says the South WiII Get the
Orders and the North What They
Cannot Fill.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct 2S.-The sixty
third semi-annual meeting of the New
England Cotton Manufacturer's Associa-
tion, closed to-day. Arthur Parkinson.
Providence, r. l., read paper on Man
ufacture and Export of Cotton Goods"
Mr.. Parkinson said in part:
1T is well known that Southern man
with the present conditions,
can undersell or compete easily with the
Eastern mills on medium and coarse
fabrics and the future looks dark for
New England. The facilities of MANN
featuring have been so increased that
in many lines Of goods the existing man
ufacturing establishments can produce
vast amount more than what the Uni
ted States can consume, and it seems
likely that each year will cause Stagna-
tion for the industry, and Of course the
usual stoppages of mills during certain
periods. As a result of this continued
competition in certain lines Of goods for
the home market, the prices are low,
wages are low and tariff legislation cam
not help matters for the merchants and
jobbers will buy in the cheaper market,
and that means Southern looms will be
engaged ahead and the New England
mills must take what is left.

VAN WYCkS STAR SPEECH
CONSIST ED IN THIRTY WORDS
OF HEARTY GREETING.
HENRY GEORGE FURNISHES THE GINGER
He Makes Some Sensational Charges CLAIMING
That judgeships Have Been the Objects
Of Barter by the So-CaIled Political
Bosses in New York.
Bosses in New York,

New York, Oct. 2S.-Henry George 10
supplying the greater part OF the gin
ger'' that is being consumed in the NUM-
cipal campaign. His allegations touch
ing the integrity of the recognized chiefs
of both the leading parties are exciting
wide interest, though they are met by
those most directly concerned with
showing of Indifference that does credit
to their capacity for going unrufhed
through political game of boot-ball.
The most specific of Mr. Georges allega
tions are that Roger A. Pryor paid Rich
ard Croker $4,000 for the judgesh:p
he now holds; that $4,000 was paid
for q seat upon the bench for Judge In
graham and that other judicial offices
were made the object of barter by the
so-called political bosses. Judge Pryor
has made categorical denial that he paid
or caused to be paid, directly or indirect
ly, any sum whatsoever for the nomlna-
non. and like denial has been made by
others of the judges involved Georges
allegation. That Judgeshp's come high"
is a fact well known, and freely admit
ted. The sworn statement of election
expenses ON file in the county clerks Of
fee chow that since the law requiring
itemized statements Of such expenses
went into effect the following sums have
been so paid:
By Judge McAdam, $4,000: by Judge
Pryor, S1O.500; by Judge Ingraham, ST.
900; by Judge Newberger, S61S5; by
Judge Ehrlich, S6.450; by Judge Smythe,
$500, and by other judges, sums below
this amount last given down to $210
These sums, it should be made clear,
are for so-called legitimate election ex-
penses. George alleges that in addition
to the sums admitted to have been paid
as above, the judges have been black
mailed out of other and in some instances
larger sums. 1t is for this alleged ex-
tortion OF blackmail and for other kim
dred offenses which. he asserts. have
been perpetrated that George threatens
Croker and Platt with the penitentiary.
Possibly because of the latitude fire.
quently permitted n political cam
paign, there has been no move to pro-
ceed against George for libel.
If George is doing great deal of
talking, so are Tracy and Low, though
the latter are less sensational and per-
sonal in their utterances. The only ex-
ception to the rule of volubity among
the Mayorality candidates, is Van Wyck,
whose "star' speech, delivered last night
before the Independence Hall Democra-
cy was limited to thirty words of COM
mon-place Acknowledgements of a hearty
greeting.

TO GIVE THEM A CHANCE
WANT TO BUY THE UNION PACI.
. FIC AND KANSAS DIVISION.
SEPARATE SALES MEANS LOSS TO U. S.
Coates Syndicate's Bid Would Produce S2O,.
100000 More Urge Postponement I'm
til Dec. 18th to See if Bonds VIII be
Accepted in Part Payment.

London, Oct 2S.-Long cable mes
sages have been sent to United States
Attorney General McKenna in the mat
ter of the Union Pacific Railway sale,
on behalf of the Coates syndicate, max
ing offers that meet the objections
raised. The syndicate claims that its bid
would produce $20000,OOO more to the
government than any other bid and
urges that the sale be adjourned until
December Is to enable Congress to de-
termine as to the advisability of the ac-
ceptance of bonds in part payment.
Coates, Son q Co. contend that by the
sale of the Union Pacific separately the
United States government will be loser,
while they Coates, Son & Coz propose
to pay the government in full for both
roads.
The final cable message, sent yesterday.
asserts that the latest Schiff bid is very
little better than the previous bids, and
that when Mr.. Schiff has secured the
Union Pacific, he will have the Kansas
division at his mercy and be able to get
it at his own price. The dispatch con-
cludes as follows.
If the government secures a postpone
ment of both sales to December - the
Coates syndicate will furnish guarantees
to pay in full for the government claims
on both roads. Congress can then deter
mine whether both roads should not be
sold concurrently. BY our bids we have
already earned $S,000,O00 for the gov
ernment and are therefore entitled to a
fair opportunity, to more than four
weeks notice of sale of these great rail-
roads, to secure the property and get
ting millions more for the government.
The Times in its financial article this
morning thinks it certain that the reor-
ganization committee will obtain unop-
posed possession of the main Union Pa
cific line on November l.
