Ran Over a Bow.

Twelve-yeaF-old Theodore Smith. son
of Eugene Smith, eGitor of the Labor
Champion, was hurt late Thursday aft
ernoon while riding his bicycle near
his home. At Fifteenth and Lane
streets the boy encountered a large
movers wagon, the horses of which be-
came frightened at his bicycle. Losing
his head the lad rode directly into the
team and was thrown to the ground.
One of TIE horses stepped on his foot,
crushing it and a heavy wagon wheel
passed over his right leg near the
ankle. Bys tan6ers helped the boy home
while the driver of the wagon hurried
on without stopping to Investigate the
harm his wagon had done. When his
father reached home he discovered that
no bones were broken, although it is
miracle that TIE heavy camp wagon
could have passed over the limb with
out breaking il. The boys leg was
evidently protected in some way by the
bicycle, which was on top of him when
he fell.

they have a chorus and a number of
clever singers and dancers in their
support. AT the Races" will not bur-

claimed to be one of the most amusing
plays 1t is promised--the production
will be notable from scenic and cos
tune standpoints. Reserved seats are

is q play which has caused more argu-

than anything presented in America in
many years, which all goes to show
that the subject of the play is suffi-

think something that can be said for
very few dramatic offerings of, recent

per in booking this short tour have
agreed to retain the original company
and to carry the entire massive scenic
production precisely as it was given
during the four months run of the play
at the Victoria theater.
Lovers of good melodrama will
heartily welcome the appearance of

A GENERAL SLOWING UP.
International Mercantile Agency
Finds Business Less Brisk.
Agency

New York, Oct. photographic adj
vices from correspondents of the Inter
national Mercantile agency throughout
the United States are summarized as
follows:
Merchants generally are not antici-
pating requirements with the freedom
heretofore noted, partly on account of
weather and crop conditions. and IN
part because of industrial slowing
down. Car congestion is caused by
relatively heavier western movement.
Dry goods at wholesale are moving
from New York more slowly The big
silk auction shows a better demand
Retail merchants in New England re-
port falling off, and iobbers with
southern connections a like situation in
Atlantic coast states. Country mer-
chants in spring wheat regions are still
behind earlier anticiDatiOns. Chicago
and Louisville report banner seasons IN
leading staple lines. Business holds it's
own at New Orleans, has declined some
in Texas and elsewhere in the south
west because of the delay of cotton
croz0.
The cotton plant has deteriorated and
is later than anticipated. Indian corn
is reported as secure from frost. Cold
weather checks raisin curing in Cali
fornia. Little interest is shown at
southern sugar and rice markets.
Financial advices at larger centers
indicate that neither IMPORTS nor bank
loans are being curtailed, and that in
debtedness abroad is increasing. James
| H. EckleS, former comptroller of the
currency, sends word that increased
western bank loans compared with last
year are not due to the banks carving
speculative accounts

as evidence that the General industrial
tide has actually turned and that
contest between producers and con-
sumers in other l5nes may be expected.
Pittsburg, however reports a maxi

There is no apparent check to labor

William Allen White: About the
meanest fling that the Burton machine
organs have made yet is at Ed Hoch.
They intimate that he is to be bought
off as a gubernatorial candidate by the
appointment of his son as Bristow's pri-
vate secretary and by the appointment
of his brother-in-laW as district judge
of Marion county. Ed Hoch is an hon
est man. If all of his kin from Kansas
to Kentucky were to be put in office. it
would not effect Ed Hoch. He has a
sincere and perfectly proper desire to be
state printer and can't be made per-
petual candidate for other offices mere
ly to further the end, of designing poll
ticians. The defeat of Hoch for state
printer last winter was a mistake. and
it is to the credit of Lyon county that
she stood by Hoch. If Hoch ever ser
iously desires to be governor, Lyon
county will stand by him, for he IS
clean and decent and able. But to make
Hoch a Burton machine candidate for
governor against his wish and will,
would only defeat him for governor, but
by making him an everlasting candidatel
injure his chances for state printer. The
talk that he is to be bought off is an
insult pure and simple. and Ed Hoch's
life in Kansas has done nothing to jus
tifV it.

VOTERS WILL SAY RATS. 81
F. Dumont Smiths Idea About Re.
suit of fractional Fight.

Senator Fred Dumont Smith. who is
in Topeka attending the supreme court.
believes that the fighting will be all
over within the Republican party long
before the state convention meets next
year.
The off-year is a good time for Re
publieans to fight" he said today. 1t
let's the fellows vent their feelings and
it clarifies the atmosphere. Everything
that can be brought up against a Re
publican official is threshed out, and
when the opposition springs it IN the
campaign the voters say, oh, rats. We
have heard all of that before
I think there will be all kinds of
harmony next year and the present state
officers will be renominated by accla-
nation from governor down.
Speaking of fighting in off years,
am a little afraid of my job next year
just because there is no fight on me
now If somebody should start fight
now 1 would whip them and it would
be all over before convention time next
year, but if some fellow waits till next
spring and then starts his fight ne
might get me.

Good for Farmers.

Representative TrimbIe, Of Ken
lucky, has introduced in the
House a bill which, II adopted, will,
in his opinion, make growers OF
tobacco independent Of the Tobacco
Trust. The bill gives the tobacco
planters the right to market free
OF tax their tobacco in its pure
state, in any qaantity or package.
"The Tobacco Trust" Mr..
Trimble declared, absolutely con-
trolls the tobacco situation. This
year prices have been cut 30 per
cent. with the result that growers
can hardly make enough on which
to live, My bill will give to
growers the opportunity to stem
and twist their tobocco without
tax. They will thus have the ad-
vantage over the trust Of six cents.
OH every pound they produce. II
the Republican party refuses to
pass this bill it will go on record
as favoring the trust, and will so
tie the hands Of the planters that
they will be unable to sell the
product"
