OECEIVING THE PEOPLE.

The Republican Leaders Take Diff
ferent Views of Trust Control.
The Republican leaders should get
together and agree on information they
impart to the voters. President RoOse-
welt, in what was doubtless a carefully
considered speech on the tariff and
trust issues, told us that the Sherman
law was inadequate and constitu-
tional amendment was essential to con-
troll the trusts. The Ohio Republican
platform says, Combinations for the
monopoly of trade and kindred unlaw-
full purposes are directly amenable to
penalties provided by Republican legis-
latiOn," meaning, of course. that the
Sherman law is ample to control the
trusts. Which of these statements are
we to believe-that of the president or
Senator Hanna? Neither do the same
authorities agree on the tariff as af-
fecting the trusts, for the president
said that the tariff had no connection
with the trusts. while the Ohio plat
form. after declaring as above quoted
on the control of monopolies. further
says, mo worthy interest is imperiled,
but whatever will work public harm is
the Democratic plan of destroying all
American industries through tariff re-
vision or otherwise"
"Or otherwise" is good. 1t allows the
Republican brethren a hole to crawl
into when the Democratic plan of tariff
revision has relieved the people from
trust extortion. which is now permitted
by the protection the tariff gives them.
1t would also seem that Senator
Hanna has changed his mind about
trusts. for it was not long ago that he
was vociferously declaring from every
stump he mounted that there were no
trusts, and now he admits that there
are combinations for the monopoly of
trade" This being all things to all
men and each leader putting his own
construction on the important issues
may fool some of the people all the
time, but it surely cannot fool all the
people all the time.

Against the Sunday "CoIor Scheme

The comic supplements printed for
metropolitan Sunday newspapers in
glaring colors are not as popular as
they once were. Many of them are
filled with that which is "stale. fiat
and Improbable" and some of them
are detestable. The Fort Dodge
(Iowa) Messenger goes after them
and declares that they lead the boys
and girls into wrong doing by study
ing the fake funny pictures where the
youngsters are always getting into
trouble. The Messenger says:
There is another way to stop this
kind of business, and that is for the
parents of children to think a little
seriously of what their children are
imbibing Sunday after the Sunday
school lesson is over. If you must
have that particular paper, then tear
up the cOlOred supplement and write
letter of protest to the editor. If
the demand for such demoraliZing
stuff was cut off and the parents pro-
tested there would be a change, for
of all people the editors want to fur
nish what the people want. There are
a few fathers and mothers, who, if
they stop and think, would not want
their children educated in lawlessness
and contempt for their elders. A lit
tie more noticing on their part would
soon stop this carnival of red paint
and ruffianism in the Sunday press"

The biggest man in Missouri is
Thomas j. MOsteller. of Hazel Run,
St. Francis county. He weighs sos
pounds MIR. Mosteller says he is una
bic to explain his weight, his father
having been man of ordinary size
and his mother rather small. But the
work of explanation does not seem
hard after one has been told some
thing of his eating. At common
meal he devours five pounds of fresh
meat and drinks nearly two gallons
of water. y gallon of water is a good
average drink for him. and he con-
sumes other things in proportion. He
is especially fond of meats and
sweets. He is not able to do much
work. and gets ABOUT only with the
aid of a strong cane. He has heart
trouble. and expects to die from it.
He always was large and strong. but
has gained most of his weight since
he was p years old. Mr.. Mosteller has
three children of average size.

DAILY SHORT STORY
The Jungle Man.

While 1 was hunting in the province
of Bengal with officers belonging to
the Seventh native infantry we got
word one day that a wild man had
been seen in jungle ten miles away.
The man was native who had
served for several years as Il soldier,
and he had a good military record
and was known to be of peaceful dis
position. One day while on scout
through the forest with his company
he was bitten on the neck by spider
The wound gave him great pain, and
he was sent back to the hospital for
treatment. He was under the sur
geon's care for ten days and was
discharged as cured, but one morning
when at drill he suddenly began
whooping and shouting and acting in
singular manner. When his com
rades attempted to restrain laim he be-
came violent, and, casting them off. he
bOlted a cross the parade and down the
road. He was pursued, but he gained
the forest, a mile away, ahead of all,
and was successful in hiding himself.
A long search had been made for him
at the time, but without avail.
We at once moved across the coun-
try and located in village, and next
morning a dozen natives We're sent out
on a scout. They were back before
noon with the news that the wild man
had moved his retreat about five miles
to the east. He was evidently afraid
of us. He had taken refuge in another
jungle near another village, and we
broke camp and rode down to the place
and beat up the thickets for hours.
We caught sight of the man once or
twice, but he was long way off and
acted as if he suspected trap. Next
day he was twelve miles away, and
In the course of week he had trav-
eled sixty miles. When he moved we
moved after him. We attempted no
trick and made no demonstration to
alarm or anger him.
Our persistent pursuit had the effect
of putting him in n passion, however,
for on the sixth day of the chase, as
we were en- route to village near
which he had gone into hiding, he
entered the place shouting in fury and
Drained five people with his club. He
had stripped off most of his clothing
and was naked from the waist up.
After killing the people he fired sew
eral huts and ran away and hid in
ravine.
1t was now plainly evident that we
must change our tactics. If the man
was enraged he might attack us at
any moment, and if he did so we
should have to fire on him in self de-
Tense.
The ravine in which he was hiding
was about Il mile long, and at the
lower end it opened into path much
used by the natives. If the wild man

Catarrh of the stomach.

When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and infames the
mucous membrane, exposing the
nerves and causing the glands to Sc
crete mucin, instead of the natural
juices of digestion. This is called ca
tarrh of the stomach. "For years 1
suffered with catarrh of the stomach,
caused by indigestion. Doctors and
medicines failed to benefit me until 1
used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure" J. r.

was not hunted out or alarmed he
would probably come down the ravine
and enter this path.
After looking the ground over it
was decided to dig pitfall and set
some traps along the path, and soon
after noon a force of natives was set
ut work. They dug n pit twenty feet
long by fourteen deep, and when ready
1t was covered over the same as if to
catch a tiger \ few yards to north
ana south Of the pit we arranged
nooses which led over the limbs of
trees, and by shutdown we felt sure
of our man If lie came that way. Two
soldiers and three natives were hidden
near the pit to act as sentinels and
give the alarm. and all was quiet in
the camp and village at the usual hour
AT O'Clock in the morning we were
turned out by an alarm from the SEN
tinels, and our whole force at once has
tened to the pit. The wild man had
come down the ravine and fallen into
the pit. Notwithstanding its depth
he was out again in moment, and but
for the trap on the north side we
should have lost him. He ran into
that, was caught by the leg and sus-
pended in the air, and when we ar
rived he was screaming and shouting
and cursing in Il way to make ones
hair stand up.
lie was defenseless, but for a long
time no one dared to go near him. He
made the most tremendous efforts to
escape, and but for our throwing
noosed ropes over his head and draw
ing them tight he would soon have re-
gained his liberty. When we finally
had him fast and secure he had tired
himself out and was pitiable object
to behold. He had been heard to use
a few English words, but no one had
heard him make sentences before. His
speech came back to him as we stood
around him, and he used many of the
commands given a soldier at drill
We remained in camp four days after
capturing the wild man, hoping to sub
due him aud make him presentable at
headquarters, but he was worse than
n wild beast Not n stitch of clothing
could be kept on him, and he had to be
bound hand and foot all the time. He
preferred raw meat to cooked. and
when fed he would growl and roar as
II the sight OF meat put him in u
frenzy.
The surgeon with us could make
nothing of his case. and we finally got
n cart and started for home TO turn the
poor fellow over to the proper authori-
ties. On the second day OF the journey
the cart broke down, and as it did so
the wild man burst his bonds and es-
capped into the jungle. We put in ten
days hunting for him, but got no trace
and finally abandoned all pursuit.
Six months later lie was seen once or
twice in the foothills to the north, but
no pursuit was organized. and if not
dead he Is today wandering about the
forests and jungles like wild beast.

that Mr.. Littauer, during the war.
manufactured about $500, 900 worth of
gloves and other articles for the Unit
ed States government.
The contract for making the gloves
was awarded to man named Lyon,
but the hitter engaged Littauer to
make the gloves. Writing to Lyon
Littauer asked whether he (Lfttauer,
should interview the responsible head
of the war department, Gen. LIIdding-
ton, about other glove contracts y
1T is worthy of remark that Littauer
cleaned up about $4,000 ON the glove
deal.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the president will cause an
investigation to determine whether
Lyon got the original contract on the
strength of having the presidents
closest friend and political advisor
make the gloves. 1t is important that
the people know whether pull and
not merit is governing the award of
contracts. OF course, it may never
have. occurred to Littauer that Lyon
was using his friendship as the quid
pro quo. He may not have given a
moments thought 10 the influences
he might command 10 get 100000
contract through Lyon.
We say that he may not have CON
sidered these circumstances. Yet the
modern and approved methods of do
ing business are to exert all the infiu-
ence at ones command.

The theatrical advance agent is a
much maligned and little understood
person. In the eyes of joke writer's and
the public, he is an INSCRIPTIONS and
constituencies liar, who perpetrates un-
heard of fake" stories about the at
traction or star he represents. Every
theatrical company has an advance
agent, but few people, even professionals,
know just why an advance man is en-
ployed, and what he has to do to earn the
salary, often quite respectable, which is
paid to him. The advance man is never
seen by the public. He is usually well
on the way to some other city by the
time his company reaches the town
where he has spent a week. The ad-
vance man of a theatrical company is
his own boss at all times. He can do his
work when he pleases, and how he
pleases, but even with the advance man
there is reckoning some day, so that 1t
behooves him to attend to business and
follow his route according to schedule.
Most agents do this, but there are al
ways some stray wanderers who fall by
the wayside now and then.
The theatrical advance man of to-day
is a development of the last ten years.
A few newspaper men, able to write good
stories about theatrical matters, found
the people read them with interest. The
atrical managers commenced to employ
newspaper men to write articles about
their attractions. The old style advance
agent, or ''press agent" was unable to
write line of correct grammar. In the
old days all the agent needed was brief
and perfunctory announcement, prepared
in advance by some one in New York
city. But the new development of news
papers led to the demand for fresh and
readable theatrical matter. No one was
able to fill the demand excepting news
paper men. Thus 1t happened that many
newspaper men stopped working for
newspapers and wrote for theatrical
managers.
Some of the best known theatrical
managers of to-day were former news
paper men. Daniel Frohman was a critic
on the New York Tribune. Kirk La
Shelle worked on the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. George c. Tyler, the executive
head Of Liebler & Co., was a printer and
