Rock Island. ILL.,, Oct 6.-Governor
Roosevelt's voice has broken. After
a strain such as few public men have
sver put upon the cords of the throat
the governor has been compelled to
acknowledge that the open air, the
lack of rest and the nearly 300 adj
dresses he has given have taken from
his voice the best of its strength. j.
He barely managed to finish his
Waterloo speech yesterday afternoon,
and at Cedar Rapids he could scarce
" be heard twenty feet from the plat
form. His voice was whisper at
West Liberty. This evening he was
unable to carry on private CONVEX
sation, and the Davenport and Rock
Island people were compelled to take
but short speeches from him.

Ownsboro, KY, Oct. 5.-Striking
miners at Basket won the strike for
recognition of the Union carrying with
it the reduction of wages.
The former owner of the mines
never recognized the union but paid
good wages averaging five cents per

This is probably the first time a
strike for lower wages was ever made.

To Cut Down Speechmaking.
National Committeeman Schneider of
Nebraska was so troubled over the
governors condition last night that
he left the train for Chicago to warn
Henry G. Payne this morning that he
must be more merciful with assign
ments for the governor or have the
campaign end now. Mr.. Schneider
favored abandoning the Coliseum
meeting in Chicago this evening and
giving the governor a rest, but it
was finally decided to ask Mr.. Payne
next Monday and give the governor
Sunday and that day to rest If this
course is not taken it is more than
probable that the governor will COM
pletely break down by the time ST.
Louis is reached, and will have to go
into the hands of a physician for
throat treatment.
Speech at Waterloo.
Governor Roosevelt was given a
drive sabout the town before the

Thru Iowa and Illinois.
At Cedar Rapids the governor had
an audience of 10000. A stay of an
hour was made there. Governor Shaw
spoke after the governor. At West
Liberty there was a gathering of
$500. At Davenport the number Of
people out was 10000 and the town
was Illuminated with red fire.
In this city the largest crowd the
city has ever known was gathered.
The local estimates place the crowd

strike will be over in another week.

METHYLATED SPIRITS.
Law Against Its Sale Will Be Framed
for the Legislature.

Methylated spirits occupied a promf-
nent place in the discussions of the
Board of Health yesterday The Board
members did not consider methylat ted
spirits could be termed a poison within
the meaning of the term, although it
was known to be a deadly liquid when
taken in sufficient quantities. The rec
concentrations of two of the coroners
juTies which have lately sat in cases
where deaths occurred through the I'M
restricted purchase of methylated spir-
Its were considered.
President Raymond said the matter
should be thoroughly investigated by
the Board. He thought a committee
should be appointed to investigate the
question as to whether the spirits had
toxic elements and whether the Board
had any legal authority to prohibit it's
sale. He thought the coming Legisla-
ture was the proper body to consider
the matter
Mr.. Smith said methylated spirits
was not poison in the general sense
of the term. Those handling the liquor
preferred not to sell it, If the act of
the Legislature was repealed it would
effect the sale of it as the community
desired. He considered it inimical to
human life. He said the French AS
sembly had lately passed law pro-
hibiting the sale of absinthe in France
which he considered was a wise meas
ure. If the Board of Health framed
law in the matter he thought the Legis-
lature would adopt 1t.
DR.. Cooper moved that a committee
be appointed by the President to take
up the question at once. The commit
tee will be named later.

Mr.. Steele was married less than a

daughter of Il. Il. Willis OF Kohala.
The marriage was one OF the events
of the season In Hilo, the reception be-
ing attended by nearly 200 guests. Mr..
Steele was formerly foreman OF the
composing room OF the Star, but was
for some time past connected with the
Hilo Tribune. He had been In the
