men suffered so severely from exposure,

two survivors of the coasting schooner

which was beaten to pieces by II gale of

Two days later she ran into a heavy
gale and after Wallowing about IN the
great seas for several hours sprang
leak. The pumps were started but with

At s o'clock on the morning of October
6. with her hold full of water, the little
schooner was hove down on her beam

weather side and lashed themselves 10

washed by the seas that broke merci-
lessly over them all day Friday,
That night the storm increased in fury
and one great wave crashed aboard,

fishing a chain Of banks which would
permit him to back his projects. He
had been interested in the cOnstruc-
tons OF the Massa chusetts canal and
the North American Dredging COM
pany and obtained much credit
through digging the Pontchartrain
canal, near New Orleans. He got sew
eral good dredging contracts for deep
ening the bay and Harlem river and
aspired to obtain a $4,000, 900 Near
aqua canal contract
Simmons was indicted under the
federal statutes for violating the bank
ing laws and was, in 1891, sentenced
to six years Imprisonment. He was
pardoned a year later.

Terrible ITCHING
SORE ON HANDS
Doctored for Four Months and Tried
Nearly Everything but Could Get
Only Temporary Relief Better
from First and
SPEEDILY CURED BY
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

Ny left hand was almost covered
with a large red sore which would itch
terribly. dOctored with it four
months, also tried everything I could
think of, but I would only have tenn
porary relief. A competent physician
of Kansas City shook his head and
said, 1t looks bad" Then a friend
told me of Cuticura, and as had tried
so much, thought I might as well try
that too, and I bought a set of Cuti-
gura Soap Ointment, and Resolvent.
just three days and nights after I had
taken the first dose, the Inflammation
had all gone from the sore; and when
/ had taken three bottles and q half of
Resolvent, my hand was all well.
1t gives me pleasure to tell you of
this, and if any one wishes to write
to me personally, I shall be glad to
answer. j am never tired of speaking
well of the Cuticura Remedies. (signed5

ROW OVER FISH,
American Fishermen Lodge Complaint
Against Newfoundland.

washington. Oct. 17.-Through Repre-
sentative Gardner, of Massachusetts,
the Gloucester fishermen have officially
laid before the state department their
grievance against the Newfoundland
government, which they charge with
forbidding all vessels Of American reg
lister to fish on the treaty coast. This
right, the fishermen Slain, is granted
them by the treaty of 1913 between the
United States and Great Britain
The Gloucester and Newfoundland
fisheries question was revived last week
by a telegram received by Secretary
Root from Senator Lodge saying il WAS
reported that the Newfoundland cruiser
Fiona had arrived IN the Bay of Islands
on the treaty coast with the minister for
marine and fisheries on beard and that
the minister had forbidden all vessels

requesting any information he might
have on the subject. The ambassador
communicated with the Newfoundland
government by wire and started Inn

Friday night. Since then the secretary
has received from the ambassador the
contents of the latter's dispatch from

.DIDSTUBBSGO TOO FAR?
From Washington Says He Is
in Bad OdoF With Roosevelt

A Washington dispatch states that
W. r. Stubs stepped over the traces
a Washington, and got himself into bad
repute with the president by his for
wardness il the federal appointment
matter.
Stubbs had no chiSs in the federal
appointment controversy; that was
Longs business: but according to the
reports, Mr.. Stubs made it a point to
have a long talk with the president,
advising him what to do about the fed
eral Jobs in Kansas.
Mr. Stubs told the president that he
heartily favored the reappointment of
Pension Agent Metcalf, but that he was
vigorously opposed to the retention of
either Dean or Simpson. He urged the
appointment of Harry Bone for the at
torneyship. LAS to the matter of ap-
pointing a. marshal for Kansas you will
hear from me later concluded Mr..
Stubs. The president said that Sen
ator Long was waiting in the ante-room
to have q. conference. with him about
that hour regarding these appointments.
I will have Senator Long called in so
that he may hear what you have to say
about the. Kansas candidates"
Senator Long was admitted to the
presidents room and Mr.. Stubbs was
asked to reiterate his objections. It is
not known what the exact words We're
that the president used, but it is under
stoed that he plainly indicated to Mr..
Stubs that no matter what recommen-
dations were made for these federal APP
pointments, he was compelled to recog-
nize Senator Longs Endorsement above
all other influences, as these jobs were
purely senatorial patronage.
The conference lasted fully an hour
and at the time much speculation was
rife about the White House as to what
was I'D in Kansas matters. When it
was learned that Mr.. Stubs, as a state
campaign committee chairman. had at
tempted to interfere with senatorial
prerogatives, he. was freely criticised by
public, men who got an mixing Of the
affair. An Interesting feature of the
conference was that neither Stubs or
Long knew Ok the others presence at
the White House until the. president
brought them together.

FOLK HELPS WEAVER.
Academy of Music Packed to Hear the
Missouri Governor.

Philadelphia, Oct. 1.-THE great
battle between the Republican organ
ization and the City party. the mu-
nicipal reform organization recently
formed here, has been enlivened by
the visit of Governor Folk of Mis-
souri, who came to lend his voice in
the interest Of good government The
Missouri governor addressed large
and enthusiastic audience in the
Academy of Music.
The crowd that attempted to gain
entrance to the Academy was so great
that the doors were closed before the
meeting began. Several thousand
persons who could not get in were ad-
dressed by City party speakers. While
the curbstone mass meeting was IN
progress Governor Folk arrived and
the Assem- blage would not permit him
to enter the building until he had adj
dressed them. He made a short
speech When he entered the Acad-
envy the entire audience stood up to
welcome him. With him on the stage
were George Durham, jr., president
of the City club; former Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith. former
United States Attorney General Wayne
MacVeagh, William Potter former
United States minister to Italy, and
about a hundred other citizens of
prominence. Mayor Weaver occupied
a proscenium box and was given a
warm welcome when he appeared.
Governor Folk spoke in part as fol-
lows:
THE most conspicuous fact of mu-
nicipaI governments in the United
States today is that they are govern
ments by the few and not by the
people.
There is more aggressive rotten
ness and less aggressive patriotism in
our large cities than anywhere else.
If the patriotism can be made as
aggressive as the rOften0eSg. the prob

eminent into their own hands
ST corruption exists in PhiIadei-
plia the people are to blame; if cor
ruption is to be eradicated the DeoDle
alone can do it. The fight YOU are
making here is a battle which will be
felt by every town, city and state in
the land. The benefit Of a victory for
good government wiz be universal
and the evil effects of defeat will de-
governm ent by the people. The aver
age man does not appreciate the
solemn duty he owes his city, state
and his country.
1.-THE moral revolution now sweep
ing over the land means the patriot
ism that comes from the heart, not
from the head.
MANY men would be willing, if
need be, to give up their lives for
their city or state if they are needed
some time and this kind of patriotism
cannot be too highly common ded. but
the man who is willing to live for his
city and state every day is the man
that is needed just now. There may
be as much patriotism in giving ones
time to the betterment Of civic condi-
lions and the election Of good men to
office and purifying the ballot as in
barring ones breast to the bullets OF
an enemy. There never was a time
when the need for patriotic men in
public affairs was greater than now.
We need more men aetuated alone by
the public good and fewer of those who
are in politics merely for revenue

said that the printing bills, the cost OF
fixing up the various meeting places, the
rents which had to be paid on some OF
them, the music. the maintenance of an
office and the salary of two stenograph-
ers for the two weeks and all the Incl

to $1,000 or 81, 400 So it can be seen that

obligations are met, DIR. Chapman takes
the rest. While here, however, DR.. Evans
said. that DR.. Chapman found that $l,0l0
would not meet the expenses of his asso-
ciates and he had to pay $500 extra out
of his own pocket.
The ministers at the meeting were well
pleased with the report and DR.. Evans
was given a hearty vote of thanks for the
hard work which he did in behalf Of the
revival.

MOVES A NEW TRIAL.
Mrs. Taggart Is Not Yet Ready to
Give Up the Fight.

Wooster, Ohio, Oct. 17.-Attorneys
for Major Taggart. were given a sur
prise when they learned that Judge
Smyser, attorney for Mrs. Grace Tag
CART had filed a motion for new trial.
1t was supposed that Judge Smyser
had only given the notice to preserve his
rights The motion moves that judg-
ment and decree be set aside for the
following reasons: That during the
trial the court erred in admission of
evidence in favor of plaintiff and
against defendant; that court erred in
the rejection of evidence offered by
defendant; because of irreguIarity by
which the defendant was preeluded
from having fair and impartial hear
ing. The irreguIarity consisted of
bringing to the attention of the court
and before the court outside matter
not affected in evidence and not
brought to attention in open court.
Other formal and general grounds are
given such as conviction judgment and
decree were given for plaintiff when
by law and evidence it should have
been for the defendant.
1t is stated that attorneys for Mrs.
Taggart viii claim that Judge Eason
conferred with outside parties as to
what and for what the judgment and
decree should be.

DR.. Evans Apt Comparison With
Circus.
ZEN CENTS PER CAPITA
Show in One Day Took Twenty
two Cents.
Ministers Well Pleased With DR..
Evans Work.

1t cost the people of Topeka who
contributed, just a slight amount over
$4,000 for the two weeks of evangel-
istic meetings which were concluded
on Thursday of last week.
A statement to this effect was made
Monday by DR.. William Copeland
Evans, pastor of the First Methodist
church, and chairman of the execu-
tive committee which had the meet
ings in charge, to the Topeka Minis
terial union at its regular weekly gath
ering at the Y. NJ. c. A. parlors.
Now" said DR.. Evans, $4,000 for
a city of 10000 people, such as To-
peka claims to be according to the
census makers, that would be ten
cents per capita
Waiting a few minutes for this
statement to thoroughly soak into the
thirty ministers who were gathered
about him, DR.. Evans continued: "A
short while ago a circus was in To-
peka. It's total receipts day and night.
for one day, amounted to 100000
That would for a city like Topeka be
22 cents per capita-and that was for
one day mind you"
DR.. Evans again took few mo-
ments of time. Then he continued as
follows: "Ten cents per capita for
| two weeks of revival meetings twenty
two cents per capita for one day of
circus. Now which did Topeka the
most good ?" The ministers broke out
| into applause. DR.. Evans very apt
comparison caused them to cheer in
saIvos of hand-cafnage.
The remainder of DR.. Evans report
was confined to details of the music
committees expenses and some other
minor matters. He did not give out q
detailed statement of all expenses SO
exact figures cannot be given further
1 than a lump of $4,000 for all pur-
poses. It includes the expenses of the
evangelists while here, the expenses Of
conducting and providing for the
meetings, and the free will offerings

man and his associates get their

From a statement given out the other

/ can be reached as to just what DR.. Chap
man. the evangelist, took away from To-
I pelza in the way of salaries. DR.. Evans
