tltcnoN-pRtDlcIIoN TRUSTS.

The Incorporation at Albany OF q
company to furnish election statistics
and predictions might seem to threaten
one of the proudest prerogatives of the
American citizen. Is even the privilege
of saying 81 tell you, SIR" and 81 told
you so," before and after election, to
be monopolized by trust? The dan
ger. however, is less real than apparent.
Even the greatest ever steel trust Is
not able to shut out opposition and
finds itself to-day with a cut-rate war
on its hands The small producer can
not be wholly eliminated from any in
dustry. Least of all can he be con-
trolled in the resistless tidal output of
prophecy. Including non-voters who
have an interest in politics, there are
100000 political prophets in the Unit
ed States. says the N. Y. World. The
raw material of their industry-the hot
air of the waning summer and the SUM-
set glow of hope-cannot be cornered.
What possible trust can interfere with
the enthusiast who sees signs Of q
Roosevelt landslide in Texas or fore
tells democratic victory in repentant
Vermont? 1t cannot be donei

THE AMERICAN INVASION"

Mexico is suffering from the "Ameri-
can invasion" Ell TEMPO. of the cap
ital city, calls attention to the truly
alarming" number of business schools
that are being established in Mexico
City by citizens of the United States,
which are ''frequented preferably by
young women who hope in them to ac-
quire in brief period the knowledge
necessary to obtain employment in
agencies, offices and stores" 1t is to be
presumed that the Americanos are
teaching the future stenographers and
secretaries of Mexico to handle the type
writer and keep a set of double-entry
books Glancing beyond this specific in
stance. FL TEMPO continues in explana-
ton and complaint: These Yankees
slumber not nor sleep; they avail them
selves of every opportunity for becom-
ing masters of the situation; and not
content with controlling the most profit-
abl agricultural, mining, industrial and
other concerns, now seek to make use OF
the women, educating and training them
in their own way in order to make them
instruments capable of furthering their
plan of Americanizing us and implant-
ing their customs here. The fact ought
to alarm US; but unfortunately. we con-
template it passively and we fail to
found the number of schools that are
necessary to qualify for sundry occupa-
tions the many young women who have
to earn their livelihood by working. We
will return to this matter which de.
serves to receive attention on the part
of all who have the future of the country
at heart" Truly the Yankee and ths
boll-weeyil e=e greatly to be feared In

There is an opportunity which has
lately presented itself for Bellefontaine

kuRoN.s HOUR OF REVENGE.

What savage battling is that now
going on about those ramparts which

warriors of the Mikado's realm 4,
Russia's forces are ON the verge of an
ignominious routing and while the
Japanese have lost thousands upon

Some interesting "reminiscences of
the college career Of the Republican
candidate for vice president are told
by Julius Chambers in the current
Harper's Weekly. Mr.. Chambers
attended the Ohio Wesleyan university
while Senator Fairbanks was there as
student. He tells of one occasion
when n contest had been arranged be-
tween two rival literary societies. On
the night of the affair instead of a gen
une contest. "mock program" made
its appearance and in consequence the
faculty suspended two prominent upper
classmeu. A students meeting WAS
called and Fairbanks, ~. made stir
ring speech. criticising the faculty's
action as an infraction of the rights of
American citizenship. The next day
there was special meeting Of the
faculty and young Fairbanks was sum-
moned and required to repeat his
speech of the night before. The facul-
ty then entered into n heated discus
sion of the matter A number of the
more up-to-date professors supported
Fairbanks in his views with the result
that the two suspended men were rein
stated. After that the name of Fair
banks was on every tongue and he be-
came the most popular man in Ohio
Wesleyan university.

One OF the lessons" which military
science was supposed to have learned
from the war in South Africa was that
artillery could accomplish nothing in
field operations that could not be more
cheaply and expeditiously effected by
rifle fire. The comparatively small dam
age done to certain carefully selected
positions after hours of bombardment
with highly explosive shells was cited
as evidence that all field guns, except
those of the smaller machine types, cost
more than they were worth The rec
ord of the Russo-Japanese war disproves
this claim. During the last few months
artillery has always been an important.
and occasionally, vital factor in de-
termining the issue of engagements.
The story Of the protracted duel between
field batteries at Tatehekaio shows that
the superior position of the Russian
guns long held an overwhelming jap
anese force at bay when rifle fire would
have been powerless to have checked the
attack

CHEERFUL WOMEN.
How to Keep Happy.

IN ESPONDENCY Is thing of evil
origin and evil results. Worry
IL produces nothing but wrinkles
and wretchedness. Let the
reader put up little note on her bureau,
on her desk, and at the head of her bed,
Just two words, DON'T WORRY. Worry
Is the greatest foe to the happiness of
any household. An anxious, despond-
ent face. a fretful, complaining voice,
will make every one uncomfortable.
A womau's nerves are more truly the
cause of worry than outside troubles.
The nerves are to a woman's body the
telegraph system, which surely warns her
of any trouble in the feminine makeup.
WHY WOMEN HAVE NERVES
What is the reason why women have
nerves. When our thoughts begin to
grow cloudy and uncertain, our i'm
pulses lag and the warnings of pain
and distress are sent like flying mes
sages throughout our limbs and frame,
we straightway, nine times in ten, lay
the cause of the trouble to some defect
Ia the point where we first feel it. Is
Il a headache, a backache, a sensation
of irritability or twitching and uncon-
trollable nervousness, something must
be wrong with the head or back, a
woman naturally says. but all the time
the real trouble very often centers in
the womanly organs. In nine cases out
of ten the seat of the difficulty is here,
and a woman should take rational treat
ment for its cure The local disordeI
and Inflammation of the delicate special
organs of the sex should be treated
steadily and Systematically"
DIR. Pierce, during a long period ol
practice, found that prescription made
up entirely of roots and herbs, without
the use Of alcohol, cured over ninety
per cent. of such cases. After using thi!
remedy for many years in his privats
practice he put it up in form tha
would make 1t easily procurable, and j

LABOR DAY AT KENYON.

Union delegates from Marion, Ken
ton and Bsllefontaine will probably
meet in the near future for the purpose
of deciding where the next Labor Day
celebration will be held. So much in
terest is taken by the three cities in the
event that the city fortunate enough
to win the day is assured of thousands
of people.
Kenton in all her history never had
larger crowd than gathered there on
Monday. The Lima delegation failed
to materializs bat the unions of Marion
We're represented by a thousand men
and two hundred and ninety-eight went

special of ten cars and several hundred
went from here over the Big Four.
That the Bellefontaine unions made
fine showing in the parade which
moved at 1880 o'clock is shown by
the fact that the Retail Clerks associa-
tion won the prize for being the best
appearing union organization in line
The Bellefontains unions followed
Kenton in the parade and were led by
Ora Fulton, president OF the Trade:
Council, the local unions following In
the order named:
Reymer's band
Lady Clerks in Carriages
| Retail Clerks union
| BARRIERS union Woodworkers' union
Laborers' union Painters union
Other unions.

played by the Bellefontaine unions
were works of art and caused man,

the parade.

Reymer's city band was the re
