LETTER TO z. ANDERSON,
BARTON, VT,
Sir. Here's a bully one

Dear Sir: Here's bully one.
Mr.. Dooley mot of Chicago, painter, Ian.
caster, n. q got the job of painting the
Episcopal parsonage. He was used to a
paint, as pure as Devoe, but weak and sh ort-
measure-he didn't know it was weak or
short measure. Dooley surveyed the job, and
said it wou Id take 20 gallons.
Mr.. L. F. Moore, our agent, offered to give
10 gallons Devoe. Accepted OF course.
Eleven gallons did it: the 10 plus one.
Mr.. Moore isn't painting parsonages on
shares this year.
Yours truly
FWDEvoE Co

P.S. Twombly & Cotton, Barton Landing,

LOITERERS NAY
WAIT TOO LONG
L. G. Housed. Writes of Prof
LarsOn's Plans
A SKETCH OF HIS WORK
Will Receive Patients of..Wednesdays and
thursdays Through December.
To the Public:

10 the Public:
Prof. J. Austin Larson will receive
new patients at his Offices, Hotel
Greene, Great Bend, on Wednesdays
and Thursdays through December
and no longer. Although his Offices
will be closed to new patients after
December %, yet the full course of
personal treatments will be given to
every patient accepted up to the last
day. 1 make this statement for the
benfit of the class of people who mis-
lead themselves in the belief that they
can commence treatment whenever
they please. The remark is freely
made. 90, he is doing such asbusi-
ness that be will continue to receive
new patients here for several weeks, -
but you don't know him as 1 do. 1t
makes no difference how. large a
business can be shown to him in the
months to come, you couldn's possibly
show up enough to induce hin. to stay
beyond the time specified above.
What Prof. Larson is after, is rep
utation in as large territory as
possible and in as short a time as Is
consistent with good work. He is
thoroughly in earnest in his efforts to
relieve suffering and his one great
aim is to establish a Temple of Heal
ing in large city. He and his ad-
visors think this is the est:sway to
get him before the entire public. His
argument is that the results accom-
plished in the cases of Mrs. c. r.
Allen, Fred Ulsh, c. P. Townsley,
J. G. Worrall and many others from
whom endorsements viii appear soon,
will induce them, when they or their
friends get sick, to go to his Temple
of Healing no matter where 1t is
located. Why? Because they know
personally that Prof. Larson has
power over chronic disease, when
other methods fail.
When he was finishing up his work
in Salina, no less than thirty five
loiterers wanted to begin The
ment after the orr~-.

STOCK MARKET
SHOT TOPECES
Laws0n's Prophecy Fulfilled
And His Advice Acted On.
PANIC NARROWLY AvERTED.
Break in Copper Causes Heavy Selling
of the Entire Speculative Holdings.

New York, Dec. 8.-The stock
market this morning was in a con-
dition approaching demoralization.
Copper dropped point and a half
shortly after the opening and all stocks
following in quick succession. At
times the situation bordered on a
panic. The sales were so numerous
that the experts could not record them
accurately. Thomas w. Lawson's
prophecy of Tuesday was fulfilled to
the letter. His first bulletin today
advised the sale of Amalgamated
Copper to the last share. Bulletins
came hourly from his Boston Office.
They were freely circulated and ap-
parently extensively followed. He
advised to sell Sugar and the entire
list for the time being. Sell Steel.
Sellall pool stocks, including Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific and Atchinson.
One bulletin said: "President Roose-
welt is just beginning to work." Just
before noon an attempt was made to
stem the tide of liquidation. This.
move proved partially successful for
time.

ELEVEN MINERS KILLED
Eight of the Men had Families. Corpses
Recovered.

Tacoma, Washington, Dec. 8.-By
an explosion of fire damp in the Bur
net coal mine here last night, eleven
miners were killed outright and sew
eral injured. Eight of the men killed
were married men with families de-
pending on them. The badly mangled
corpses were recovered this morning.
The explosion shook the surrounding
territory like an earthquake. Just
before the explosion forty men had
ascended from the mine, else the dis
aster would have been more terrible
Several others came out later alive.

MRS. CHADWICK
Is ARRESTED
Held in SIS. 600 Bond For Aiding
BankssOfficiaI to EmbezzIe
CARNEGIE DENIES BY WIREH

/ New York, Dec. 8.-Mrs. Cassie L.
Chadwick has been arrested and is
held in fifteen thousand dollar bond
today to answer the charge of aiding
and abetting bank official in embezzl-
ing twelve thousand five hundred
dollars. When the prisoner appeared
before Commissioner Shields this
morning her facewas drawn as though
in pain and was perfectly colorless.
She leaned heavily upon the arm of
her escort. Federal Marshal Hennei
personally took her from the Hotel
Breslen to the Federal building. She
desired to consult a physician first.
AS the doctor had told the marshal
last night this would be unnecessary
the marshal declined her request.
The marshal admitted however that
the lady was in poor way and not
feigLing illness. Efforts are being
made to secure bond.
Mrs. Chadwick's hearing was set
for the seventeenth. Unless she can
give bond by Eve O'Clock today she
will be committed to the Tombs.
Cleveland, o. Dec. 8.-Replying
to the inquiry of Prosecutor Keeler,
whether he had signed the notes
which figure in the Chadwick case,
and whether he would come to Cfeve-
land to testify before the grand jury,
Andrew Carnegie today telegraphed:
sNever signed such notes. Have not
issued note in many years. Hope you
can arrange to execute affidavit
here"

ROCKEFELLER
Is In THE GAME
Rich Man Believed To Be Com
ing to Mrs. Chadwick's Aid
HELP FAvORITE PREACHER

s Cleveland, o. Dec. 9.-The Cleve-
land Press this afternoon says the
confidence of Banker Newton tha
his 100000 claim against Mrs.
Chadwick would be paid was based
on the belief that John D. Rookie
Teller, the richest man in the world
would come to fthe woman's aid to
save his favorite pastor, Rev. Eaton,
of Cleveland. Some time ago, Mrs.
Chadwick sought Rev. Eaton, told
him her financial troubles and asked
his advice. He suggested Cgetting a
loan from Cleveland bank. = She
replied that she could not let them
know her embarrassment. Mr.. Eaton
then referred the woman to a LAWYER
relative of his in Boston who
eventually introduced Newton. The
latter finally accommodated her, all on
note signed by Andrew Carnegie.
Newton has been entertaining sthe
hope that Rockefeller would settle the
claim, owing to his great admiration
for Eaton, and to help him out of an
embarrassing position.

MAYOR WILL VETO FRANCHISE
Thinks Natural Gas Proposition A
Private Graft.

Kansas City, Dec. Sit is ex-
pected that Mayor Nef before night
will veto the thirty year franchise for
supplying natural gas to the city.
which the council in the early morn
ing hours granted to Randall Nor
gage of Philadelphia, Hugh MCGOWAN
of Indianapolis and Charles Small, of
Kansas City. The promoters figure
on using Kansas gas and the mayor
thinks the city's interests are not pro-
tected. The franchise permits them
to charge thirty five cents per thous-
and cubic feet after the first five years
during which period the charge is to
range from twenty five to thirty.
Alderman s.Beardsley, who opposed
the grant, says 1t is worth five million
dollars to the promoters.

result? Some of these loiterers fol-
lowed him to other towns and ssome
are writing now to find OUT where
they can go to take his treatment.
And Salina is simply a repetition of
other towns where he has had offices,
tor every town has its full quota of
those who are always little bit too
late totake advantage of opportunity
when it knocks.
1t you had seen his cures as have
seen them in following his work day
after day you would say with me. "If
there is anyweakness in Prof Larson's
method, fail to see it's
But Immediately the remark will
spring to the lips of some of you, sit
is all very well for you to talk this
way. but who are you? Has your
word any weight"
In answering this query, speak of
my private business affairs, not in
spirit OF vanity but that no stone may
be left unturned to: help this man
whom feel is doing so much ssfor
suffering humanity. Fourteen months
ago I knew comparatively nothing
about Prof. Larson and his work, ex-
cept what I had read in the Chicago
papers. I first met him in September
1908 when he came to Salina. I was
city editor of the Sallna Daily Union
and his sensational cures, furnished
news. I interviewed and published
the statements of fifty of his patients
whom knew personally and ended
up by being convert to his method.
When he later made me proposition
10 go with him, gladly accepted be-
cause I had learned to believe n the
man. 1 left my home, my relatives,
my friends, my business interests to
accompany this man in his great work
and do him all the good that could.
But when left Salina, letters of rec
commendation and introduction were
given to me by every bank, sssevery
wholesale house. every mill, every
newspaper and every prominent
business and professional man in
Salina. They gave me letters that
$4,000 in gold couldn't buy, be-
cause they believe in me and the man
whose employ 1 was about to enter.
I still have business interests in
Salina. 1 own my home there; have
an interest in large business block;
I am a director in manufacturing
concern; am a director in the newly
organized Saline County State Bank.
The people of .Salina know me. Ask
them if my word counts for ought. So
much for me, but [ am not the man
you are interested in. That man is
Prof. Larson, he who leads in his
profession and has performed more
cures and made more friends in
Kansas than any other man in the
state in sixteen months past.
Yours truly.
