DR.. kenncdy's New Medicine, CAL cura Sol.
vent, Warmly Praised by Mrs. Chaffee.

When DIR. David Kennedy, of Kennedy
Row, Kingston, n Y, said he regarded
Cal-cura Solvent, his neio medicine for
the Kidneys, Liver and Blood, as the
browning achievement of his life, he made
no mistake, as hundreds who have used it
testify. Here is one letter, short and to
the point
RUTLAND, W., August 9Th, 1909.
Dear SirS.
have never taken any medicine that did
me so much good as DIR. Kennedy's latest
medicine, Cal-cura Solvent. l can work
hard all day and can do more work than l
could even thirty years ago. am 80 years
OF age and never felt better in my life.
Gratefully yours,
MRS. A. f. CHAFFEE.
Remember that it is of DIR. Kennedy's
neo medicine that this lady writes. Only
one DIR. David Kennedy ever lived in
Rondout, City of Kingston, N. Y, and
his new medicine is sold only in $1.OO
bottles.

NO FEAR OF WAR.
Austrian Foreign Minister Issues a
Statement.

Vienna, Oct. 3.-M. Sawinski, Foreign
Minister Lamsdorff's secretary, has
issued a statement regarding the result
of the conferences in Austria between
Count Lamsdorff and Count Goiuchow-
ski. the Austrian Hungarian foreign
minister. from which it appears that
they reached a determination that the
two powers shall continue the Balkan
policy arranged last winter. The pro-
gramme for reform in Macedonia then
drawn up, has, however, been essen
TALLY extended and elaborated
The secretary characterized the state
men that Russia had demanded the free
passage of her ships through the OAR
danelles as being quite incorrect, and
added that the ministers conference
included the whole array of European
near east with the exception of old
Albania and gave repeated evidence of
entire accord in the views of Count
Lamsdorff and Count Goluchowskl,
that in consequence of the agreement
the powers need not fear war between
Turkey and Bulgaria, nor any great
difficulty in the execution of the re
forms.

and it is the opinion of the officers here
that they are telling the truth, and that
the car was broken into by tramps be-

Mr.. BONE COLLAPSES.
Governors Private Secretary
i'm a Serious Condition.

II. J. Bone, secretary to Governor
Bailey, has suffered nervous collapse
and has gone to Excelsior Springs for
rest. He passed through Topeka Thurs
day on his way from Ashland TO Ex-
celsior Springs, but no one knew of it
until Governor Bailey's return from the
west today, when he found letter from
Mrs. Bone awaiting him.
Mr.. Bone has been on the verge of
nervous prostration off and on FOR sew
eral months In fact. he has not Deen
strong since he had a serious illness
at Christ hospital a year ago last
spring.
In connection with his work as secre-
tary to the governor. Mr.. Bone is keep
ing up his large law practice at ASH
land, his home. and this is too much for
him. His law practice is really worth
much more to him than his JOB as sec
retary to the governor, as he has a
large clientele among the big cattlemen
of the southwest 1t is known that Mr.
Bone received a single fee in cattle
case a few months ago which was larger
than his salary as secretary to the gov
ernor for whole year.
Mr.. Bone went to Ashland several
weeks ago, soon after his return from
Colorado, to look after his business
there. and was taken with a severe at
tack of muscular rheumatism 1t was
very painful and confined him to lis
bed for a time but as soon as he was
able he returned to Topeka but had to
go back to Ashland later to attend to
some important cases in court there.
During the past two weeks little has
been heard from him at the governor s
office and the first information of his
Illness came in. the letter from Mrs.
Rome today. It is not known how seri-
Gus his condition is. but he will probably
have TO rest for some time

COAL STILL SCARS.
Usage Operators Will Give 1t
Another Boost.

Usage county coal is due for another
advance and it is predicted, upon tho
authority of an Usage county coal opeI =
ator. that it will be selling at 50 before
next Saturday.
The Usage county operators failed TO
hold their regular monthly meeting on
September 26 and it was inferred rroni
that fact that no immediate increases
were anticipated. But it appears that
the Usage county mine owners have
planned ahead.
The prediction of the advance appears
to be made on the best of authority 1t
covers all coal mines in Usage county
which have been selling at SAFE per ton
since September /.
Another advance of 25 cents per ton
on Leavenworth county coal went into
effect today This is the third advance
on Leavenworth coal since September l,
the price having been raised on Septem-
ber / and September %. successiveiy.

CIRCUIT WILL FIGHT.
Won't Give Up Place on Ticket
Without a Struggle.

New York. Oct, 3.-The hope that
Comptroller Grout and AIdermanic
President Fournes would withdraw from
the fusionist ticket failed when the for
mer announced today through his coun-
sci that he would fight the cancellation
of his name as regular candidate.
r. Fulton Cutting, che irnlan of the
Citizens Union committee sent a re-
sponse today to the letter of Mr.. Grout
in which the latter declined to repudiate
Tammany. Mr.. Cutting in the letter de-
clared that Grout had proven unequal
TO the situation, and apparently was
blinded to the disastrous effect on the
good government involved in the cleo
tion of a Tammany mayor"
Mr. Cutting proceeding further says:
Surely you can not imagine for one
instant that the Citizens committee
would ever have nominated you had you
written your letter of October 1st before
their convention and had they known
you then as they know you now

WOMEN GOLF PLAYERS.
They Meet TODAY to Contest for
Championship.

Wheaton, ILL.,, Oct 3.-Miss Bessie An
thony, of Glen View, and Miss Johnny"
Carpenter of Westward-Ho both west
ern women and opponents in many
western tournaments. met today in the
finals of the National Woman's Golf
championship over the Chicago golf
course, at Is holes As strong south
wind was blowing when the game was
started, no record breaking medal scores
were looked for. Miss Anthony was
generally looked upon as the winner.
although it was conceded that Miss Car
penter had a splendid chance should
should Miss Anthony exhibit any signs
of breaking under the strain. as she did
in the last four holes of her game yes
terday.
Both the officials of the United States
G. A. and the Eastern Women golfers
state that this will probably be the last
time in many years that The national
championship will be played in the west,
unless possibly next year when the
championship in common with many
other golfing events may be decided at
ST. Louis.
This however, isonly possibility, the
general feeling being thatzthe cham
pionship should be played over a course
not farther west than Philadelphia.
MISS ANTHONY WINS.
The woman'S national golf champion
ship belongs to Miss Bessie Anthony of
Glen View club, Chicago. She made q
runaway match Of her game with Miss
]. Anna Carpenter of Westward-Ho in
the finals for the championship over the
Wheaton course today, taking the lead
at the fourth hole and steadily increas-
ing it until the end came at the twelfth
hole, Miss Anthony winning up and q
to play Considering the weather condi-
tions, a 30-nile gale sweeping over the
course during the entire play, Miss An
thongs game was remarkable. Only
twice was she in trouble getting into
the bunker guarding the first hole on d
long brassey shot and driving out OF
bounds on the seventh. Miss Carpenter,
on the contrary, played in woefully bad
form. Seven Numbered shots and two
balls driven into the wide pond guard
ing the ninth and tentn holes tell the
story of her defeat
This is probably the last golf tourna-
ment Miss Anthony win ever figure in.
She will be married in November to
Mr. B. S. Horn of Pittsburg. and stated
to friends today that she did not e8-
pect either to defend her titles of west
ern or national champion next year. The

FUSION PARTY SPLIT.
Greater New York Democracy
Pulls Out of the Combine.

New York, Oct. 3.--Action looking
Grout and Charles Fornes from the
municipal ticket has been taken by the
Citizens union and Republican organi-
zation. Calls were issued for the reas
sembling of the convention of those
bodies on Wednesday of next week, the
purpose being to declare vacant the
nominations of the gentlemen named
above for the offices respectively of
comptroller and president of the board
of aldermen. Claiming that this action
can not be legally taken, Messrs. Grout
and Fornes will appeal to the courts
for an order that their names must be
printed on the official ballot in the Re
publican and Citizen union columns.
Their contention is that the functions
of the delegates to the two conventions
terminated with the adjournment of The
bodies to which they were chosen, and
that they can not be revived by the acts
of committees as is proposed The

head of which is John G. Sheehan has

wild Animals In the City.

The greatest surprise I ever expert
enced in the unexpected appearance Of
a wild creature in the heart Of the me-
tropolis was one day In the spring OF
1901 when / saw a possum crossing
Broadway near Chambers street The
creature had no chance. I think 1t was
q truck that killed 1t, and a great
crowd gathered, stopping traffic, excit-
edly discussing the tragedy. The ma
jority declared the animal to be rat;
the minority maintained that 1t was q
guinea pig. Then, as the police inter-
rupted discussion by clearing the car
tracks, a large negro dropped from the
back of a truck, seized the animal and,
mounting the cart tail once more, held
his prize aloft, grinning from ear to
ear. "Dasser possum," he said and
pocketed the future piece de resistance.
I have never learned where that pos
sum came from, but there's no doubt
where he went. Wild creatures in New
York are sometimes seen. Ducks, geese,
snipe and gulls pass over In their NIL
grations, and 1t Is not uncommon to
catch glimpse Of hawks hanging high
above the city smoke.
Once / saw a woodcock lying dead on
the sidewalk Of Fifth avenue-curious-
Iy enough in front Of Delmonico's. In
his nocturnal migration he had collid-
ed with that famous restaurant and

She had met the farmers folks some
