An Autumn Note.

Autumn said to dying Summer:
"Sweet were your songs. and softly
went you winds above the blue banks
of violets and gardens where your
lilies were like affairs of sweet wor-
ship. But the beautiful dies and
leaves us but the rose of memory,
kissed of sad sunlight, and the rain
that love calls tears. Your birds
have left their nests, laced in the
sheltering trees; your flowers are but
phantoms; your streams have sung
you to sleep; your footprints are fad
ing from the hills; your voice is silent
in the valleys; and, grieving for you..
I have robed you-not in ghostly
shrouds, but raiment of scarlet and
gold, and laid you down to dream be-
meath my perfect skies of life to come
of love that lives forever.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1sth.-Mr. Il. A.
Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer
of this city, whose opinion on legal
matters is unquestioned, has recently
made public his unqualified opinion on
q matter of medicine. Mr.. Wade says
that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
affect the eyesight, and further. that
there is no case of the kind that can.
not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Hehas no fear of being setright by any
of his medical friends, for both state
ments have a living and indisputable'
proof in the person of the great law
yer himself, who, as a result of Rheu-
matism and Kidney Trouble, from.
which he suffered for years, became
totally blind.
. Physicians, the best in the country,
pronounced his case incurable and
hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
him, restored his sight, drove away
the Kidney Trouble and with it the
Rheumatism and made an allround
we'll man of him.

ASKS FOR TROOPS.
Mr.. Dickinson Tired of Parleying
in Miss Stones Case.
The Consul General Does Not Believe That
the Bandits Will Harm Their Captive
IL Bulgarian Troops Arc Empowered
to Surround Them.

Sofia, Nov. 2O.-It is reported that
Mr.. Dickinson, the United States dip
lomatic agent here, has informed the
government of Bulgaria that the abb
ductors of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone and
Nine. Tsilka, with their captives, are
concealed in defile of the Belleritza
mountains, near Smotch, district of
Dubnitza, and has requested that
troops be sent to surround the place
and liberate the captives. Both Mr..
Dickinson and the Bulgarian foreign
Office decline to confirm or deny this
report. Nevertheless, it is believed
that Mr.. Dickinson, persuaded of the
impossibility of coming to terms with
the brigands and relying upon his be-
lief that they will not harm their
captives If troops are employed
against them, has, after consulting
with Washington, decided upon this
move. Only eight bandits now guard
Miss Stone and some of these are
known to sympathize with her.
About fortnight ago Mr.. Dickinson
approached the foreign Office and pro-
posed this same plan, but its carrying
out was abandoned because of the
uncertainty of the location of the
bandits.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 2O.-The case Of

Telegraph company was started here
yesterday before Referee Slonecker.
The suit is n elimination of large
number of small actions against the

has objected all along to obeying the
law, and submitted a financial state
ment showing that it could not af-

put up the claim yesterday that the
Western Union had not included in
the statement any of the money re-
ceived from leasing its wires to the
Associated press or brokers' compa-
MES, and called attention to some
other minor admissions. The case is
being hard fought and will be
