BEGINS AT MONETT.
Fairbanks Again Crosses Missouri OH
Speaking Tour.

Republic, Mo-. Oct. 2S-Besinning
with a before breakfast speech to a
large crowd at Monett, Mo, today SEN
ator Fairbanks special train doubled
back to Springfield it's way to St.
Louis where the evening meeting will
be held More than dozen speeches
were made during the day. At Aurora
where the principal industries are zinc
and lead mines and mills the senator
addressed a large crowd dwelling par
ticularly upon the effect of Democratic
policies upon wages.
There is a direct connection" he
said, between governmental policies
and our own prosperity If our poll
cies in the national government are un-
sound we suffer in consequence of that
fact. We also realize that if our gov
ernmental policies are wise and sound
we are all benefited hereby. We want
continuous prosperity we want contin-
uous employment and continuous de-
mand for the products of the field and
the products of the factory. If we
change our policies there is fluctuation
in the pay roll; it goes down in the
number of employees and the rate of
wages. Here in Aurora is evidence of
the efficacy of Republican policies and
Republican administration. During the
four years of the last Democratic ad-
ministration there were not as many
men engaged in the mines and mills
now. Under Democratic policies the
pay roll about here, 1 dare say, was
not as long as it is today. Shall we
go back to the old policies, shall we
lose sight of our interests and vote a
prejudiced ballot? The question is to
be decided by yourselves and your
countrymen on the 8th of November.
We do not wish to go back and expert
ence once more the bitter fruits of
Democratic administration. Our flag
has gone into the far off islands of the
sea, not a symbol of tyranny, but as
a guaranty of good government We

that the K. u. management is trying
to spoil the attendance at the Wash
burn game, and it seems that the man
agement is succeeding, for. there were
enthusiasm meeting held for the
purpose of getting up yells. etc, for the
game. The Lawrence paper says;
Football talk relative to the ga[ne
to be played Saturday in Topeka be-
tween Kansas and Washburn contin-
ueS to be about the only topic in attn
letic circles. The management is max
ing an effort to divert interest to the
Notre Dame game which Will be play
ed here a week from Saturday. because
of the expense of the game and the
necessity of taking in a plentiful sup
ply of gate money, and because the
Notre Dame team is member OF the
big nine and the result of that contest
will give a sort of line on the relative
strength of Kansas and the big teams
in the central part of the country.
Apparently the K. U. people and the
Lawrence newspapers are preparing
place for their team to light" in case
of defeat by Washburn. One OF the
papers contains this significant state
ment:
"The Washburn game has oeen
looked forward to as one of the sec
ondary games although it has been
known that it will doubtless prove
stiff tussle for the university men. Ihe
game with Notre Dame Will, however,
be much the better game and will pull
a big crowd it will be the last game
of the season to be played here. The
X. U. team is saving up for the Notre
Dame contest and If it does not defeat
Washburn a proper score no discreolt
will attend the failure to do So.
X. u. perpetrated another good joke
Thursday by protesting Stahl, the
Washburn substitute end. Stahl grad
uated from Fairmount college last
June, and is now in the Washburn
law school. There is no possible
ground for protest. The K. u people
doubtless have good friends at Wash
burn who are furnishing them yalu-
able hints on how to injure the Wash
burn team, but far the tipster has
had his wires badly crossed.
The advance sale of tickets for the
game is large at Stansfield's New
grandstands are ready, and the field
has been worked into fine condition
with drags.

Steamer NfainIander Sunk in Collision
With Tug.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 2s.-The steamer
Mainlander, of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company's fleet lies at the bottom
of Puget Sound. off West Point light
house four miles north of Seattle, as
the result of a collision with the power
full tug Sea Lion. No lives were lost
despite the fact that the Mainlander
had sixteen passengers and a crew of
thirty. While the Mainlander went
down with everything aboard save the
people. the tug was but little injured,
and her crew escaped without injury
But for the Sea Lions having stood by,
everybody aboard the Mainlander
doubtless would have persisted. Within
twenty minutes from the time the ves
sells came together in collision the
Mainlander went to the bottom.
A dense fog prevailed at the time of
the collision
The Mainlander was valued at $780,,
900 and was heavily insured.

New York, Oct. 28.-Efforts are being
made by the managers of the Repub-
lican campaign in New York county
to induce Secretary of State John Hay

the matter under advisement.
More than 4,500 Republican mass

next week This is an average of IL
meetings in each county every night
and exceeds by far the number of
meetings held in any Republican cam
paisn in the last IL years.

WITH A YELL THAT WAS HEARD A QUARTER OF A MILE.

the Greeks, was the son of Aritaces, a
wealthy gentleman of Cyrene, in Afri-
ca, and was born in that city about the
year 424, B. C. Having come over from
Greece to attend the Olympic games,
he heard so much of Socrates that he
was filled with an eager desire to see
the sage, and hurried to Athens and
became one of his pupils. He remain
ed with Socrates up to nearly the last
moments of the great teacher, though
he does not at any period seem to have
followed his doctrine or practice.
I'VE know that subsequently he was
the object of strong dislike, both to
Plato and to Anisthenes the Stole. He
passed a considerable part of his life
in Syracuse, at the court of Dionysius
the Tyrant, where he acquired the rep
utation of a philosophic voluptuary. AS
to the date of his death, it is not given
in history. but he is supposed to have
died at the age of 60. That's all about
Aristuppus, Mr.. -Bowser. Shall we now
turn to Aristotle?"
He gasped for breath, but could not
reply.
1--WE will simply say that Aristotle was
Stageira, on the west side of the Stry-
monte gulf in the year 3s4 B. c. He be-
of physic was hereditary. His father,
Nichomachus, was the friend and phySi-
clan of Amyyntas II, king Of Macedonia,
exander the Great. Aristotle lost both
parents while he was very young, and
was brought up under the care of Prox-
enus, a citizen of Atarneus, in Asia Mi
nor, who was then settled at Stageria.
It is to be conjectured that his educsa-
ton, such as it was, would take the di-
rection of preparing him for the family
profession, and that whatever xnowl-
edge and power of manipulation attached
to the practice of physic at that time
would rank among his early acquisitions.
In after life he occupied himself large
~ in the dissecting OF animals and was
acquainted with all the facts that had
been derived from this source by others
before him. 1t seems probable, however,
that he early abandoned the intention of
following physic as a profession, and as
PRED to that cultivation, of universal
knowledge for its own sake, il which he
attained q distinction without parallel in
the history of the human race"
When Mrs. Bowser finished, Mr.. BoWser
stood up and waved and motioned and
gestured and tried to say something, but
as it was impossible he passed down the
hail. put on his overcoat and hat, and
banged the door behind him. He had no
sooner reached the gate than he espied
tramp and, with a yell that was heard
quarter of a mile away, he made a dash
for the unfortunate, and had run him
seven blocks, when Mrs Bowser had re
ceived the latest dispatch.-(Copyrigh

The other Sunday afternoon Mrs.
Bowser noticed a rather queer action on
Mr.. Bowser's part. He made sly notes
with pencil and afterwards consulted
several volumes in the library, and his
desire for concealment was so evident
that she, of course, determined to solve
the mystery. How she secured and
made a copy of his memoranda must
remain a family secret. but for the next

PRAYER AND ADORATION.
One reason why many persons have
lost faith in the efficiency of prayer is
because they and others have made
their prayers too small. Let US discard
the notion that prayer is simply asking
for things. Prayer is first of all adora-
ton, pouring out the soul in the pres
ence of manifested, greatness and beau
ty. When in the Scriptures we catch
gIimpses of the worship which goes on
behind the veil we do not hear angel OF
