Blair Also Has a Genius.

ana now from Washington county

cent candidate for the title genius"
Will A. Campbell, a printer. editor
human being and genius saw the light
OF day hrst in some obscure little Ne
praska town. He grew up like other
chlldren OF Nebraska towns, obtained
some schooling and began to scramble
Tor living when he was yet at a ten
der age.
Ihere was always something the
matter with him. He knew it and 9TH
erS knew 1T, but he never knew what
1T was until he started a little maga-
zine called THE Knocker," and then
II developed that he was a genius
Campbell was always different from
other people. He did not begin to
read shakespeare in his cradle and
peruse Montague in his kits, but he
was always an omnivorous reader and
ne soon learned to care for the best
DOCKS by the best authors. He read
much and thought much and was
DUBBED "a queer" one by his associates
he early learned the printers trade
and began to stick type on some If
tie sheet down in Weeping Water. He
drlfted from there to some place and
tnought OF taking orders and entering
the Episcopal ministry. Just how he
was switched from the sky-piIot track

Nebraska heard concerning him was
that he was conducting a newspaper
IN the town Of Herman, the place that
was once raised from the map by a
very strenuous cyclone.
Paper Was Cyclone.
Campbells paper was veritabIe CIV
clone. 1t contained much news mat
ter, but 1t was put up in such a breezy
manner that it took the breath away
from the denizens of the vicinity. The
young editor used the spIinters noade
by the cyclone in his office stove and
used brains in getting out his paper.
Inc result was very successful paper

EXETER VS.. ANDOVER.
The Famous Rivals Will Meet at An
dover, Saturday.

Andover, Mass, Nov. 7.-Phillips- Exeter
and Phillips-Andover rival preparatory
school football elevenS will meet on the
gridiron here. Saturday afternoon. In
their annual championship contest. While
Andover has made n better record in the
preliminary games than Exeter, the New
Hampshire academy team is the favor
lite. and if victory should perch on the
banners of the blue it would be all the
more acceptable because it was not ex-
pected.
Exeter has a heavy team and we'll
drilled one, and while the Andover eleven
Is an aggressive one and thoroughly
trained ii is unusually light and has
shown a lack of endurance Andover
may also be weakened by the absence of
capt Gates. who dislocated his shoulder
in a practice game, Wednesday after
noon. Gates has the faculty of inspiring
his team to do its best work, and al.
though the line will be weakened by his
absence, the worst effect of the injury
win be the loss of enthusiasm which his
presence on the team always arouses.
Andover is expected to depend upon
speed and gereralship while Exeter with
her heavy line will resort to the steady
line-plunSing game, using the famous
tackle back formation.
In the past % years Andover has won
II victories and Exeter nine. Two games
were drawn. neither team scoring, ana
in three years there were no games.

or4Ey MsmbsS Of the Sanitary

alton Of tho highly nutritious and
bsnsNclaH action Of the Genuine
Johann HoM9 Extract.
It is the nutrient qualities of food
extracted through the digestive process
that build strength and sustain life, by
charging the blood with red corpuscles.
Blood is life.
The thin, hollow-chested person who
loses the nutrient qualities of food is in
dangerofpulmonaryd isease-consump-
ton, most likely.
The nervously inclined, the sort who
worry and fuss over things big or little,
are face to face with prostration.
The care-worn woman with over
taxed organs peculiar to her sex may,
with reason, grow more anxious. for
female weaknesses are vital weaknesses
in very truth not an ounce OF nutrient
can be spared
And these dangers are wholly due to
the loss of life-giving elements through
improper food assimilation.
The proper treatment for impaired
digestion and every disease akin to it,
is wineglassful with each meal of
JOHANN HOFF'S EXTRACT. which
has for fifty years stood at the head as
strength and health builder.
1t does more than act as tonic to the
stomach more than to compel perfect
food assimilation and o HA IN
HOFFS even goes farther than mere
nerve or dyspepsia medicine; it IS IN
itself nutrient.
Weak. rundown men and women.
nursing mothers and all who need build
ing up, ought to take 0 H A N N

RATES TOO LOW.
A. C. Bird Of St. Paul Road
Makes Bold Statement.
Declares That Railroads Are Handling
Live Stock Too Cheap|y.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Hearing the Many Complaints.

Chicago, Nov. IA. c. Bird, third
vice president of the st. Paul Road,
took a bold stand before the interstate
commerce commission, Thursday, when
that body began an investigation into
rates on cattle and packing house
products between Chicago and the
Missouri river.
Mr.. Bird was the first witness of i'm
portance before the commission and
when asked if he desired to defend the
reasonableness of the st. Paurs live
stock rates. he declared that they were
not reasonable.
Not only are our livestock rates
unreasonable" he declared, but all our
freight rates, today, are unreasonable,
because they are entirely too low to
compensate for the service rendered.
All freight rates should be raised and
am surprised that the railroads don't
make combined effort and raise
them"
The witness stated that it was unfair
to take the past two years as a basis
from which to judge the fairness of
rates and the fairness of the renumer-
alton derived by the railroads, for dur
ing that period the volume of traffic
had greatly increased, whereas before
that period railroading had not, as u
general proposition, been remuner-
alive.
Mr.. Bird explained that he had al
ways deemed it a wise policy to make
as low a rate on the raw material as
on the finished products, but that when
a rate or the latter which was not re-
fixr.. ho dc
he did not believe in also forcing down
the livestock rates to maintain the re-
latiOns.
The morning session was devoted to
the case of the Proprietary Medicine
Association of America, against the
New York Central Railway Co., in
which the Medicine men" claim a
is made against them
by the railroads and by the New York
Central Railroad in particular.
G. L. Gill, chairman of the official
rate classification board of New York
City, testified. He said that the neces-
saries of life, agricultural products,
pay the largest percentage of freight
rates of any commodity the railroads
transport. Frequently, he said, the
freight rates on wheat, corn and po-
tatOes are 50 per cent. of their value.
In the case of the Chicago Livestock
against IS railroads in the
West and Northwest, charging dis
in rates on livestock as
with the rate on dressed and
finished goods, Secretary Tomlinson of
the Live Stock Association, outlined
his charges against the railroad. He
cold tho ccLa1ula favored Kansas City
against Chicago as a livestock market.
