TYLER COMMERCE. COLLEGE WINS
The Greatest Stenographic Endurance
Test Ever Proposed.

Draughon's Practical Business
College challenged the Tyler Com
merclal College of Tyler, Texas,
putting up 5000, that it did not
have single student in attendance
who could, with three months
training in the Byrne Simplified
Shorthand, write 100 words, new
matter, to the minute far forty con-
secutive minutes, read back accur.
ately at the rate of thirty words per
minute. This contest was held on
the 18th inst, before three judges
selected from the prominent bust
ness men of the city Of Tyler. Not
withstanding the fact that the U.
S. Civil Service stenographic ex-
animation requires only a three
consecutive minutes test, and the
Official Court Reporters examina.
ton five minutes test, the Tyler
Commercial College accepted and
won this most enduring test of for
ty consecutive minutes. ltput up
two of it's young men, Mr.. j. B.
Leigh of Huntsville, Texas, II
years of age, and Mr.. w. H. Bra
haney, of Tyler, Texas, 10 years
of age, who took the dictation con-
sisting of 1000 words new matter,
court reporting, 5000 words select
ed from a criminal case and 1000
from civil case, and read their
notes back at almost three times
the rate of speed required,
This demonstrates conclusively
the wonderful superiority of the
Byrne Simplified Shorthand and
the stenographic training given in
the Tyler Commercial College. Ii
is no wonder. with such steno.
graphic feats as the above, that the
Tyler Commercial College has, in
six years, grown to more than
double the annual enrolment of
any commercial school in the state
and won reputation that draws
students from more twenty differ
ent states during the past year
The Tyler Commercial College o
Tyler, Texas. is without question
the greatest commercial school ir
the South, if not of the entire
United States.

Wounds. Bruises and Bnrns.

By applying an antiseptic dressing to
wounds. bruises, burus and like injuries
before inflammation sets in. they may
be healed without maturation and in
about one-third the time required by
the old treatment. This is the greatest
discovery and triumph of modern sur,
gerry. Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts
on this same principle. 1t is an antisep-
tic and when applied to such injuries
causes them to heal very quickly, II
also allays the pain and soreness and
prevents any danger of blood poisoning
Keep a bottle of Pain Balm in your home
and it will save you time and money,n
to mention the inconvenience and suff.
ering such injuries entail. For sale by

AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION
ASSEMBLED IN WASHINGTON, D. c.
Largest in History of AssOciatiOn--FOur Thousand
Arrived Mostly in Special Trains. President
Roosevelt Receives Them

Washington, d. c., Oct. 10.-The
largest number of delegates which
ever came together to attend a con-
vention of the American Bankers as
sociation, is now assembled in this
city to take part in the thirty-fifth
annual convention of the association.
1t is not only the largest convention
of its kind ever held in this country,
but is probably the most important,
as matters of great importance will
be considered and decided by it..
Nearly 1000 bankers from all parts of
the country have already arrived, and
several hundred are expected to ar
rive in the course of the day. The
treasury department and local bank
ers have combined in making the most
elaborate preparations for the recep-
tion and entertainment of the visit
ing bankers, and everything is in
readiness for the convention, which
will hold its final session tomorrow.
Most of the bankers who arrived
here today came in special trains and
were received by committees of the
local bankers, which escorted them to
their respective hotels and to the
headquarters of the convention, where
they registered and received their
cards and badges. The rest of the day
will be spent by the delegates in
sightseeing on their own account.
This evening the general officers and
members of the council of the associa-
tion will be rendered banquet at the
New Willard hotel.

ton will be called to order by the

RAMSEY-GOULD FINAL FIGHT FOR
WABASH BEGAN this MORNING
elimination of Long Series of Disagreements.
Ramsey Made General Manager Ten Years
Ago and President -Four Years Ago.

Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 10.--The annual
meeting of the stockholders of the Wa
bash railroad began here this morn
ing. The meeting will be of unusual
Importance, as it will practically de-
eide the battle between Joseph RAM
sey, Jr., the suspended president of
the Wabash railroad, and George ].
Gould, over the control of the rail-
road. Railroad men and financial men
in all parts of the country are look
ing forward with great interest to the
battle which will be fought out at the
meeting between the supporters of
Ramsey and the stockholders who
have sided with Mr.. Gould.
Mr.. Ramsey was elected vice pres
ident and general manager OF the Wa
bash railroad in 1895, and in 1901 was
made president of the road, with the
support of Mr. Gould, who had repeat
edly recognized the ability and en-
ergy of Mr.. Ramsey. Since then diff
ferances sprang up between the two
men, principally owing TO the fact
that Mr.. Gould, ignoring the official
rights and preIogatives of Mr.. RAM
, sey signed large contracts for ma
terial and work, over the head Of the
president.
Mr.. Ramsey, dissatisfied with the
| policy of Mr.. Gould, protested against
| his action, and at the same time re-
signed his position as president of
the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal rail-
way.
In the early part Of the summer the
directors of the railroad held a meet
| ing and granted Mr.. Ramsey leave of
absence until October 1. 1t is gener-
/ ally believed that 1t was at Mr.. Goulu s
| demand, that the directors held an
other meeting the week before the
first of October, and granted an in
| definite extension OF Mr.. Ramsey's
leave Of absence, which practically
meant his removal as p. esident.
Mr.. Ramsey was present at tho
meeting and protested against the ac-
/ tion of the directors. The matter was
( then laid over, to be decided by the
meeting of the stockholders. In the
meantime, Mr.. Ramsey issued a cir
cular to the stockholders explaining
| his position in the matter. defending
/ his course against Mr. Gould, and ask
ing the stockholders TO give him the
( proxies of their stock. Although many
4 Of the smaller stockholders responded
to Mr.. Ramsey's appeal il is believed
/ in financial and railroad circles that
| Mr.. Gould will hold proxies for an
| overwhelming number of the shares
and will practically control the meet
/ ing.
That will naturally mean the defeat
of Mr.. Ramsey and the severance OF
his connection with the Wabash rail
road. 1t Is believed by some that Mr.
Ramsey will not let the matter rest
even in that case, but will appeal to
the courts, although his position is
considered hopeless.
The election Is to continue from
o'clock until noon. or seven directors

COURT BUSY HEARING
ANOTHER ASSAULT CASE

The time of the district court was
occupied today with the case of the
territory VS.. Faustin Lobato, charged
with a deadly assault upon one Gar
cia. The assault was committed more
than year ago. According to the
testimony introduced on both sides,
Lobato and Garcia became engaged
in row because some one had left
open a flood gate in an acequia. Vile
words exchanged on both sides soon
lead to blows with the result that
Garcia was worsted in the fight.
In order to get even he had Lobato
arrested and he was indicted by the
grand jury at the April term upon the
charge of assault with a deadly wea-
pom. Attorney Felix Baca is defending
Lobato and is seeking his acquittal
on the grounds of self defense. Gar
cia was not badly injured in the scrap.
1t is expected that the case will go
to the jury this afternoon and a YER
dict returned by this evening.
Gutierrez Found Not Guilty.
Late yesterday afternoon the case
of the territory VS.. Ignacio Gutierrez,
charged with a deadly assault upon
the person of Policarpio Armijo, was
given to the jury. 1t took that body
but a very few minutes to reach a
verdict, which was returned in favor
OF the defendant, acquitting him OF
the charge.

Ishpeming, Mich, Oct. 1O.-Ore ship
ping records in the Ishpeming and
Negaunee fields will be broken this
season. Ever since the opening OF
navigation ore has been rushed to the

been idle over a year. The old River
side mine Is being freed of water by
pool of Fort Wayne and Chicago
men. The mine is 400 feet deep and
is very wet. It has not been operated
for years. In case a good showing OF
ore is made as a result Of exploratory
work TO be undertaken, it is under
stood that Oglebay, Norton & COM
pany have agreed TO take over the
mine.
Other idle mines being reopened
are the Iron belt, Gogebic range, and
