Weis, a clerk. r.. ~ 81. ~
These removals are the first results
of General Bristow's report of irregu-

Michael w. Louis has been removed
because the recent investigation shows
that he influenced the awarding of con-
tracts for supplies to favored bidders;
that he has been extravagant and waste
full in the administration of his office, and
that he has paid excessive prices for sup
plies to favored contractors.
he Louis Kempner has been removed for
incompetent and negligent administration,
for wasteful and reckless extravaganza
in sending expensive manifold registration
books to large number Of small fourth
class postoffices, and for violating tho
revenue laws by a system Of petty
smuggling. ...-. ~ -.
G. 3. Terry has been removed for max

TOBACCO CURED HIM
Man Regains Power Over Paralyzed
Vocal Organs Thru Use Of
80 the Weed.

Muncie, Ind. Oct. 22.-Tobacco Is
regarded as useless and filthy weed
by people generally, but F. M. Wolf,
living near Stone Station, east of
Muncie, who has been dumb for more
than two years and is now able to
carry on a conversation as a result
of chewing tobacco for several hours,
is Of a different opinion.
Two years ago last June Wolf was
struck by lightning while sitting in
the door Of his farmhouse, and from
that time until last Sunday he had not
been able to utter a sound. ,. -s
Last Saturday night Wolf dreamed
that If he took a chew of tobacco, he
would be able to speak again, When
he arose in the morning he told of his
dream by writing. . -
In g. joking way he was told to try
it. Wolf concluded to take a "chew."
A few hours after he had taken the
tobacco he was able to make slight
vocal sounds. He continued chewing
and was soon able to talk.
Physicians can give no scientific
reason for the cure,

CANADA HAD NO CASE
That Is the Opinion of Queens Uni
$versity, Political Economist,
> - Who Investigated It.

Kingston, Ont, Oct. 22.-Professor
Short, the political economist Of
Queens university, when asked to ex-
press his views upon the Alaskan
boundary question, said:
About three years ago was asked
to write an article on the Alaskan
boundary question. I agreed to do so,
presumfng from what I had read on
the subject from the usual Canadian
sources that at least as good a case
could be made out for the Canadian
contention as for the United States
Having access to the more important
official documents and correspondence
on the subject of the English, Russian
and United States claims, both before
and after the treaty Of 1925, applied
myself to these as a necessary prep
aration for my article.
1.-THE result Of my study was to con-
vince me that the Russian claims,
which were transferred to the United
States, were so strongly supported by
the documents that it was impossible
to make out valid case for the Can
adam contention on the more impor-
tant points at issue.
mot wishing to do anything that
would prejudice the Canadian case, I
was forced to withdraw my PROMISE"

:. Offers Prizes for Adyer-
t1sements. &s.%5
From Printers Ink, Oct.z IA, 1908.

From Printers Ink, Oct.s Il, 1908!
M. Lee Starke, the special, believes
that there is room for improvement in
the form Of advertising used by news
paper publishers, particularly in ad-
vertising journals. Not enough vital
information is given about papers or
their territory, tho the fund Of live
statistics at the disposal of every pub
Usher Is large. Mr.. Starke's six eve
ming dailies have just made arrange
ments to use q page of space in Print
ers' Ink from week to week, in CO.
operation, and 1t Is his intention to
use new forms of advertising, If pos
sible. With a view to obtaining the
best ideas on the subject, he has
opened q prize competition somewhat
similar to those conducted by Print
ers' Ink. Ad writer's and others are
invited to send in manuscript adver-
tisements to fill this page, and the
one deemed best each week will be
printed, if it Is Of sufficient merit and
advertising value, and the writer
thereof will receive from Mr.. Starke a
coupon emitting him to a years sub
scription to Printers Ink, the value
of which Is IS. The contest closes
with the issue Of Printers LAX of Dec.
80, when the advertisement which is
deemed bese of all those received will
be selected, and on New Years Day
a check for SIS will be mailed to it's
writer as a first prize. A check for
SIS will be mailed on the same day

FASTEST ship
IN HER CLASS
The Missouri Breaks All Records on
Her Trial Trip Despite IN
favorable Conditions.

81 E I
Boston, Oct. 22.-The new battleship
Missouri proved herself queen of the
seas in her class In a speed trial trip
yesterday over the Cape Ann, course,
with weather conditions of a consider
ably handicapping nature.
~ Steaming over a course of thirty
three nautical miles and return, the
battleship made an average speed of
1906 knots per hour, which, with tidal
corrections greatly in her favor, will
advance 1t to 1921 new world s
record for battleships.
The first part Of the run was made
against a strong northwest breeze,
which kept down the speed to 1854
knots, but coming back the condi-
lions were more favorable, and the
thirty-three knots were covered in
one hour, forty-seven minutes and nine
seconds. a speed Of 1916 knots per
hour. The big battleship at one time
attained a speed of 1875 knots per
hour.

LIZARDS IN HER STOMACH
They Made Little Florence Cole
Sick and Finally Resulted in
Her Death.

Tyrone, Ont, Oct. 22.-Three weeks
ago Florence, the 3-year-old daughter
of John Cole, farmer near here, was
taken i'll with pains in her stomach.
Household remedies were applied but
to no avail. Florence writhed in pain.
The family doctor treated the child
for cholera infantum. She grew no
better. Commissions set in.
Another and yet another doctor was
called, till half a dozen had expert
mented on the little patient. Finally
the youngest and newest doctor gave
her an emetic. This brought to view
young ones.
SO weakened was the child from her
long siege that she died in few hours.
