Bread Facts

Like other facts are not always
indisputable. We certainly would
like to dispute numerous so-called
''facts" made by bakers of cheap
bread who claim that a cheap
bread is just as good as the stand
ard kinds that cost little more,
We've tried selling both and found
that it didn't pay to sell the shod-
dy article always necessary for a
cheap price, So we sell only the
standard kind. Its name is
stPURE MALT BREAD" and ev-
cry loaf is backed with our guar
antee. Just try loaf and if you
don't like it we cheerfully refund
the purchase price.

II don't see any sense In this everlast-
ting hustle to get something extra to
eat on Thanksgiving Day. I'd Jest as

dinner you could get up"
Miranda Wilson had heard that same
or q similar remark every year, as long
as she could remember. She was
brought up in New England. where the
day was kept as religiously as Sunday,
and she expected always to keep 1t that
way, and brought up her four children to
expect the regulation dinner of turkey
and plum-pudding, vegetables and mince
pie. After Jonas Wilson had said his
say about the utter uselessness and ex-
pense Of 1t all, he was ready to sit down
at the loaded table and eat as much as
anybody. f'7
The three remaining children-there
were four, but one lay in the little in
closure Just over the hill-grew up. and
one after another went away from home.

Thanksgiving; but this year 1t was to be

T0WNEvMAY BE
THE CANDIDATE
Former Senator from Minnesota Is
Looming Up Among the Dem
H.. ocratic Possibilities.

New York, Oct. 27.-The Victoria
hotel in the old times was the stop
ping place of Grover Cleveland. For
several years William J. Bryan has
put up there on his quick trips in and
out of New York. For the first time
in his life David B. Hill went to the
Victoria hotel yesterday.
Bryan was at the hotel at the same
time and so was Charles A. Towne,
formerly Of Minnesota and now half
way Of New York city. Mr.. Towne
was the Populist candidate for vice
president in 1900 at Sioux Falls, and
was rejected at Kansas City in favor
Of Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois.
It Is reported that Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Bryan, to a certain extent, have
patched up their differences and that
Mr.. Towne, is favorably spoken of as
a democratic presidential candidate
next year, his strength coming from
the fact that he is a native Of the
northwest.
AS a candidate for the democratic
nomination, Mr.. Towne has points. He
is good speechmaker, has some ad-
vantage from the populist sentiment
which surrounded him in the old
days, as well as republican senti-
ment when he was a republican con-
gresham, and has certain capita1isrlc
support in this city at this time.

the shot was fired thru the window by
some one on the sidewalk. H.
The actress says that she and her
maid, Emma Stewart, were in the
room at dusk on Friday evening and
that she Had JUST got up from Ter
desk to pull down the shade when she
heard quarrelling on the street. AS
she got near the window she says she
felt a pain in her left side and then
tainted. 49,.
The maid telephoned to DR.. Walter
GiIday Of 80 w Thirty-sixth street.
DR.. Gilday was not at home, but his
assistant, DR.. Moynan, answered the
summons. DR.. Moynan found the act
ress lying on the floor with a blanket
thrown over her. The doctor says he
found a bullet hole in the left side an
inch or so below the heart. He de-
rib and came out four inches from
where it struck. DR.. Moynan did not
see the bullet, but he thought 1t came
from a 80 caliber revolver. The phys
ician said it was only a flesh wound.
The police heard nothing of the
story until $50 o'clock yesterday
morning. Then Lieutenant Haues and
Detective O'Brien found the actress
lying on couch and as clipper as
could be. She told how the shot had
come from the street thru her VIM

feared notoriety. The window, she
said, was open when the shot was
fired: The police doubt her story

MILLIONAIRE Is
HELD FOR RANSOM
Detectives Engaged in Search for E.
L, Wentz Are Negotiating
with Bandits. Is
For a Price His SCaptors Will Re
turn the Missing Man I'm
harmed.
New York Sun Special Service,

Big Stone Gap, VA. Oct. Q 81 " is
persistently reported here that detec-
tives who are managing the search
for e. L. Wentz, the Philadelphia
millionaire who disappeared twelve
days ago, have opened negotiations
with bandits who demand a ransom
for the return of the young man alive
and unframed. ~. 81. 8. -
j. L. Bullitt, attorney for the Wentz
estate, declared that the story was not
true, but at the same time many, per-
sons identified with the search ex-
pressed confidence that Wentz would
return to his home here very soon and
that heavy reward" would be paid
for his recovery. The reward now
offered is 100000, but it is for the
recovery Of Wentz and the conviction
Of his captors, or for the discovery OF
his fate and the conviction of his
murderers. - sr,1~ -
The detectives have changed their
methods Of search. Instead of keep
ing in the woods, hunting for traces
of the missing man, they have scat
tered into adjoining towns and vii
lagos. While pushing the inquiry for
Wentz they are also making inquiries
regarding the mysterious disappear
ance four months ago Of an insurance
agent named Gearhard.
It Is thought there is a connection
between his disappearance and that OF
Wentz, and that possibly both men
may. be found captive at the same
place or that,zif dead, the murderers
|Sof one were probably the murderers
of the other. '

200 Russian troops is said to have
crossed the river Tumf into Korea and
another contingent of forty Russians
appeared at Wimfu Friday last and
subsequently retired.

Following the announcement made
here yesterday that the Korean gov
eminent had protested against the
Russian fertilization Of Yongampho
on the Talu river, official advices re-
ceived at Toxic tend to confirm the
report that the Russians have fortified
that place. This may lead to impor-
tant developments, as the fortificatior
OF Yongampho would be an infringe

NEW MERGER
ON The TAPS
The Wabash, Wheeling & Lake
Erie and Ann Arbor Roads to
- Consolidate. "
Car Shortage No Longer Bothers
Eastern Roads-Shipments
Show Falling OFF,.
gpeciaI to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, Oct 27.-Arrangements
are said to have been completed Tor
the consolidation of the WABASH
Wheeling & Lake Erie, and Ann Ar
bor railroads. They are to be oper-
ated as one road under the name OF
the Wabash Railroad company. The
Gould interests, which control these
roads, are said to have been at work
ever since the taking over OF the Ann
Arbor and Wheeling roads on plans TO
unite the lines. The three roads in
clude all of the present Gould INES
east of ST. Louis and Chicago, with the
exception Of the Western, Maryland,
which is as yet without connection
with the lines east of Pittsburg. ~
A deal is said to be pending by
which the Goulds expect to get anoth-
er line that will give them a'connect-
ing link between the terminus OF the
Pittsburg division and the Western
Maryland. It is possible that the West
Virginia Central will be acquired.
Ninety per cent Of the actual work
system has been completed and the
road will be opened for traffic soon.
When the consolidation becomes eff
fective number of offices of the Ann
Arbor and Wheeling & Lake Erie rail-
roads in Toledo will be abolished and
the work they have carried on Will be
done by the Wabash officers.
Shipments Are Small.
Eastern roads no longer complain
of a car shortage. This Is due to a
marked falling off in the shipments of
iron and steel products from the
Pittsburg district. The high prices of
material and labor have reduced
building operations to minimum and
there is little demand for building
material. Merchandise shipments are
also growing smaller. Other east
bound shipments are fairly good. Pro
visions gained 6,227 tons over the
week previous and wheat increased
$1,000 bushels. Following is a de-
tailed statement of shipments of flour,
grain and provisions by the all rail
lines from Chicago last week:
Flour. Brls. Grain, Blu. Prov. Tons
P Prss @se week 1000 $4,000 $Sas!
Last year ,316 954oO0 29Ss5
The situation in the west appears to
be far better than in the east. Ship
ments are said to be increasing owing
to the growing movement of grain
from west Of the Missouri. The move
ment is principally in the direction OF
the gulf ports.
