To Policy Holders in Old Line Com
panies: Beware of the confidence game
played by the pious Insurance Agent,
who wants to do you the favor Of
switching you from your company to
his. All companies write numerous
plans of insurance and every plan costs
different price. You get value re-
ceived for any plan you buy, from any
Old Line Company When the con-
fdence man shows you a plan differing
from the one you have, which is part Of
the game, and should you prefer this
particular plan write to the Agent OF
Company who insured you and get it,
and thereby save what you paid. Don't
be an easy mark There are millions of
dollars lost each year by policyholderS
being duped by confidence men.

Mr.. RollO Russell has for manv

and now prints his principal concin-

that do not depend on the meeting
of such currents are rare, but there
are many cases of meeting currents
where no fogs are produced.-Science.

No Money From Morgan.

A New York dispatch says that Pier
pont Morgan has declined to give any
thing to the Republican state cam
paign fund. mot a dollar" is said to
have been his reply to the Republican
state committee when he was asked
for his usual contribution, which war
never less than $4,000 in off years and
was $4,000 In presidential or con-
gressional years. The dispatch says:
1T has been generally understood that
Mr.. Morgan's refusal to contribute this
year was due to the attitude of the
Republican leaders in regard to the
coal strike. Men who should be in
position to know, however, said this
was not the case. That Gov. Odell's
measures in the taxation Of corpora
lions have not always met the approx
al of Mr.. Morgan Is not a secret, and
it is said that the governor was vexed
because the Northern Securities COM

sey instead If In this state" If the
Republican party loses the support of
the trusts, to whom can it turn?

A Wonderful Pill.

Freedom, Mo-, Nov. Sd.-A splendid
remedy has recently been introduced
in this neighborhood. 1t is called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and it has cured
Rheumatism right and left. On every

has been stated already there seems
to be no case of rheumatism that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure.
One of those who has already tested
the virtue of Dodd's Kidney Pills Is
Katie Anderson Of this place. who
says:

ney Pills. They have helped me so
much. l suffered very severely with

Shutting OF Trouble.

"Sing America and talk about the
war;" That is Secretary Shaw's de-
vice, put in practice at political meet
ing in New Haven, to shut off bother
some questions from the audience
about the tariff and trusts. 1t was eff.
fectual, of course, and is likely to
have many imitators. who will heart
lily regret that the plan was not devel-
oped earlier in the campaign. why
should the trusts have tariff protec-
tion?" Sing America and talk about
the war;" why should homemade
goods cost more here than abroad?"
Everybody sing my country, it's OF
thee" why should we not have free
coal, free hides and free wool?" All

After Sowing the Wind.

Is there not a solemn warning for
the Republican party in the way in
which its campaign has been shat
tered to fragments by the coal strike?
Here we see it's managers in two
great states, with critical elections
on their hands, dropping everything
in unconcealed alarm and practically
confessing that they are beaten in adj
vance unless they are able to settle
labor difficulty. What a pitiable
state of panic for great party to fall
into! And the worst of it is that it is
the direct result of it's own boosted
claims and favorite teachings. 1t has
posed as the guardian angel of every
laboring man, the universal provider
of prosperity, fatuously failing to per-
ceiys how this attitude puts it at the
mercy of every industrial disturbance
or crop failure that comes along

Admits Embarrassment.

OF course we understand that the
question of tariff revision is full of en-
barrassment tor the Republican party.
The present tariff is only five years
old, and yet there is all over the coun-
try revolt against it among the Re-
publicans themselves. Republican
candidates in Massachusetts, are de-
handing the removal of the duties on
COAL wool, hides and steel. In Wis
consin there is strong opposition to
the present law among the Repub-
licans. The schism in the Iowa Re-
publican party on this question Is
clearly defined. In Indiana the tariff
reform sentiment is now, as it always
has been, strong. When tariff law
becomes obsolete in five years there
is abundant reason for alarm on the
part of those responsible for tin

AMERICANS IN DEAL
sHREWD SCHEME TO FORCE
THE HAND OF CONGRESS.
Subsidy Begsars Have Now an oP'
portunity to Point to the Action OF
the British Government and Demand
Its Imitation.

Let nobody fail to note the fact that
the spellbinders find plenty to talk
about this fall without mentioning
their old friend subsidy.
Individuals and corporations that
have axes to grind and the honorable
political gentlemen whom they en-
ploy to turn tho grindstone have
thrifty way Of keeping very still at
times when the electors are about to
express their opinions Of men, parties
and things at the polls.
When election day is yet long way
on they boldly appear in Washing
ton with their schemes, and their at
torneys on the floors of congress wax
eloquent over the beauties of their
projects and offer to prove to DEM
onstration that it is the patriotic duty
of congress to put money into the
pockets of gentlemen who ache to
serve their country for considera-
ton.
But as election day draws near they
seek the seclusion that the cabin
grants and patiently wait for the popu-
lar breezes to blow over. The people
are not to be trusted to pass upon a
question so profound as that of vot-
ing $2O0,O00,000, more or less, out OF
the treasury and into the pockets OF
patriotic capitalists who long to build
ships to fly the American flag and
transfer the scepter of the wave from
Britannia to Columbia.
Let us not fail to note further in
this connection that some one, pre-
sumably the great American magician
of finance, recently drove right little
tight little bargain with his majesty's
ministry in London.
BY the terms of this contract the
British companies and the British
ships in the American steamship COM
bine are to stay British, but on the
other hand one of the British COM
panies, the Cunard, is to get an annual
subsidy of $750,000 from the British
government. 1t Is also to get from
that government loan of the money
wherewith to build two new ships
paying az per cent interest and re-
paying the principal in twenty years
by annual installments.
Who can fail to see the fine hand
of the American subsidy beggars in
that? When their attorneys arise to
address the senate and the house next
winter they will point triumphantly to
this nice little subsidy bargain and de-
mand to know how Columbia can ex.
pect to rule the wave If she refuses
to do as well as Britannia does for
those who go down to the sea in
ships.
The s750,0OO will be an acceptable
plum to the Cunard company, OF
course, but it may prove much more
valuable to our own subsidy beggars.
We may be sure that it will be worked
for all it is worth in Washington.
Very likely it was intended by the
shrewd American who engineered the
deal more for use in tapping the
United States treasury than for the
benefit of the Cunard company.

Lessons Of the Coal Strike.

The public has learned from the
coal strike that there Is in fact duty
of 67 cents ton on anthracite coal,
which is apparently on the free list.
And, with coal selling 1T prices op-
pressive to people who are not
wealthy, all have condemned that
duty, not excepting the most extreme
protectionists outside of the interest
Immediately benefited.
Will this revelation to all men of
the smuggling methods of tariff legis-
lation and this universal condemna-
ton Of protection when 1t comes to
pinch somewhere result in the abroga-
ton of this or any other oppressive
duty?
Secretary Moody and others high in
the councils of the dominant party say
it will. 1t must, or the education which
the public has been getting will be in
vain.

The number of cabinet officers sent

that six of the administrative depart

The Tariff Increases Prices.

Nothing can be palmer than that
the tariff keeps out imports 80 long as
home prices do not exceed the foreign
cost with the duty added. Foreign
competition is excluded up to GER
tain price in the case of steel billets
by the tariff, but not in the case Of oil.
BY comparing the markets we find
that the advance of the tariff pro-
tected trust product has been more
than five times that on the commodity
not so protected.

MURDER AT A CARNIVAL.

Duel During II Fair ut Me-
trOpOlis, III,

Metropolis, Ill, July 1o.-In a duel
on the street Friday Sam Faughn, of
Metropolis, was shot and killed by Jas
per Abbott, of Rock, Ill. At the time
of the shooting over 10000 people were
in the city taking in the. big street
fair and carnival. Abbott made sew
eral remarks to ladies in hotel at
which Faughn demonstrated. He led
Abbott up the street about 40 yards,
and Abbott then drew pistol and
shot Faughn twice, one bullet lodging
below the seventh rib ON the left side,
the other just below the clavicle on the
right side. Faughn then wrested the
gun from Abbott and fired at him, in
tlicting a slight flesh wound. Faughn
walked half a square after being shot
and fell dead. Abbott is now in Jail
