ROADS HAVE THE GRIP.
Smith Opens His Campaign Against
Hepburn-Makes Charges.

DIES MONIES, Oct. 2O.-In speeches
which A. L. Smith is making in his
campaign against Congressman w. P.
Hepburn, it is charged that the Bur-
lington road has the eighth district
in its grip, politically. and that vast
sums of money are expended annual
vation.''
THE most common method is to put
S. or $40 or some booze in the hands
of the boys and tell them to get out
and work. said Mr.. Smith in his
Clearfield address. Il warn you against
these methods as 1 have seen them
carried out all over this district. In
a recent campaign in my own country
a great deal of money was thus inri-
rectly used by the railroads."
Mr. Smith is discussing state issues
largely He lauds Governor Cummins
and says that it is time the railroad
ridden southern part of Iowa wakes up
to what Cummins is trying to do for
the state and nation, and lends help
ing hand.
Mr.. Smith takes a decided stand in
favor of primary law, and advocates
rate legislation and tariff reform.
Congressman Hepburn will make no
effort to start campaign in reply to
Smiths guns for two months yet.

WINS BRIDE AS PRIZE,
Splinter Gains Girls Hand by Taking
First Place Fifty-Yard Contest.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.-In winning a
race last night at the athletic games
of the physical culture exhibition in
Madison Square Garden, David Eaton
of Boston equaled the worlds record
for fifty yards and won Miss Ethel
Burns for bride. Young Eaton came
and her sister, who were to see him
run. Nearing New York, Miss Burns
asked. What is the prize you are
going to run for, Arthur"
Il don't know" was the answer, "but
there is just one prize in the world for
me-"
sly squeeze of the hand told Miss
Burns what he dared not say.
well, if you win," said the girl,
the prize SHALL be yours"
j. W. Morton, champion sprinter of
England; Arthur Johnson, Lawson
Robertson and two other fast ones
were lined up with Eaton for the race
"Crack!' went the pistol, and the Bos-
ton boy jumped to the front. Fear
that he would lose urged him to his ut
most speed, and he breasted the tape
a yard in front Of the English cham
pion. Fifteen hundred persons jumped
to their feet and shouted wildly when
the time was announced.
Darling away from those who would
congratulate him, Eaton ran to a boz
where Miss Burns was proudly way
ing her handkerchief and claimed his
real prize. Eaton Miss Burns and her
sister left the city on the midnight
tran for BOSTON,
Arthur Duffy, who holds the record,
said after the race that the Boston Boy
Is the coming champion. Eaton is a
member of the Cambridge Athletic
club, feet inches tall, just Duffy's
height, and weighs 125 pounds.

NO SYMPATHY.
Authorities of Nebraska University
Suspend a Student.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct 20.-The au-
thorities of Wesleyan university stu
ated in subprb of this city seem
to have no sympathy for victims of
the tender passion and suspension is
promptly meted out to those students
who give heed to the winged darts of
the mischievous god of love.
Chancellor Huntington, at recent
chapel meeting, gravely informed his
flock that a most grievous infraction
of the rules of the institution had just
occurred and for that reason he must
announce the expulsion Of Port John
son.
A vig1ant nightwatchman, it appears,
had accidentally discovered a tryst be-
tween young Johnson and a univer-
sity girl, and had seen the two walk
ing one night in the state farm grove.
He at once reported to the faculty and
the suspension of the young man for
part OF the nfSl term was at once
the result.
Johnson is about IS years of age and
is one of the best-known students at
the Methodist school. His father S
one of the trustees of Wesleyan. The
name of the young woman involved
has not been disclosed, and as no pun
ishment has been devised for her, 1t
seems that the brunt of the burden of
decorum at Wesleyan must
fall upon the young men.
Since the expulsion, it is said, that
the young men and girls Of the univer-
sity scarcely dare look at one another
after dark. Star-gazing excursions
have been almost totally abandoned
and after the meetings of the societies
the girls are rushed to their respective
homes and left abruptly at the gates.
The campus and the state farm grove
formerly such popular spots on moon
light evenings, are deserted.

Hungarian Parliament Dissolved

VIENNA, Oct. 20.-The Hungarian
parliament was dissolved today and
new elections were ordered to be held
forthwith. The Fejervary cabinet did
not attend the final sessions Of the par

hostile demonstrations by the members
or the parliament. notwithstanding
these and other precautions the clos
ing scenes were extremely stormy.

1914 has from the first hour been diff

and letter. Efforts have been made on
the Swedish side TO extend the union

ST. PETERSBURG, June AS a re-
SUIT of the meeting OF the Council of
Ministers yesterday. Instructions were
teleGrnphed this afternoon to the Rus
sian ambassadors in Washington and
Paris to The effect that Russia is de-
sirous of learning Japan's peace condi-

slightest surface indications OF any
change In the situation regarding the
continuation of the war. Preparations
TO send additional troops to the front
continue. new draft OF horses from
Poland has been made and a further
mobilization of men in the province of
Moscow is announced.
WASHINGTON, June preliminary
peace negotiations between Russia and
Japan are generally believed to be un-
der way and it is conceded that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will in all probability
act not as Il mediator but as .'the
friendly channel of communication"

that the President can be trusted abso-.
