To Win In Life.

Do we not pay so much attention
to mere material success that we ex.
clude from mind and heart other
things more precious? am anxious
(says Albert J. Beveridge) that every
young man should win in all the con.
fiicts of life-win in college and In
business-but am even more anxious
that through all of his triumphs he
should grow ever broader, sweeter
and more kindly. After all, we are
human beings. We do not want to be
mere machines of success, do we?
That is carrying our mechanical age
a little too far. We want to keep that
within us which makes our victory
worth having after we have won 1t.
What matter your mountains OF
wealth, or your network Of political
power, or those secrets which, in your
laboratory, you have wrung from Ma
ture-what matter all, and everything
that the world calls Success" IL the
human quality has been dried up in
you?

Chimney to the Clouds.


New York Is soon to have the odd
est amusement enterprise on the face
OF the, earth, in the shape of a tower
taller than any structure in the world
and equipped with a larger variety of
combined entertainments and utili-
ties than anything that has ever ex-
listed for the edifcation of the mil
lions who are constantly and hungrily
seeking new pleasures.
Called "the Weber tower" after its
designer, Carl Weber, one Of the best
known experts in the matter of tall
steel-concrete constructions, the build
Ing will be unique in many ways, and
when 1t has been erected, either In
one of the parks of Manhattan or In
some equally prominent spot, will UNI
questionably be one of the foremost
attractions of the metropolis.
In the first place 1t will reach the
enormous height of $50 feet, just 25S
feet taller than the Eiffel tower in
Paris and more than twice as tall as
the Washington monument, which.
with $3.50 feet is at present the highest
permanent structure in the world. 1t
will so far oyertop everything in New
York that comparison is idle. the Park
Row building, which now holds pre-
eminence, being only 3S2 feet high,
and the st. Paul building, ranking
second, having but sos feet In Eu-
rope. after the Eiffel tower, there Is
only the Ulm cathedral, with 52S feet
but this is excelled by the city hall
in Philadelphia.
Height alone, however, will not be
the chief recommendation of the
Weber tower. II will be a sky scraper
OF universal invitation. If you are a
business man you will be able to rent
Offices inside the lean but lofty
stretches. II you want an evenings
frolic you will be escorted to the
highest roof garden In the world,
100 feet above the sidewalk, which
Is so high that every other roof gar
den will look like plgmy patch OF
light without form or substance. II
you are an astronomer you will find
all the paraphernalia for the study
OF the heavens at such close range
that you will hardly need telescope.
And above all there will be the neces-
sary precautions to prevent you jump
ing off IL you are one Of those persons
who get that impulse whenever they
reach the top of a high places

CINCINNATI QUAKES
WITH FEAR OF FEVER

Cincinnati Sept 16.-At least five
persons suspected Of having yellow
fever, arrived here yesterday over the
Queen & Crescent line at 2:45 a. m.
Those held are: Mrs. T. u. Roam of
Talluluh, Miss Anna Stone, Mrs. ].
Stone of Tallulah, La. Willie Walters
Smith of Lake Providence, La, and
Miss Stockner of Lake Providence,
La.
The train consisted of two hundred
refugees from Lake Providence. La,
and Tallulah, La, who were fleeing
from the yellow fever.
DIR. Clark w. Davis, health officer
of this city, was notified by General
Passenger Agent Rinearson, that he
was bringing about 200 people from
the south in a special and at once
sent DR.. Lyle and an assistant to
board the train at Lexington, examine
the people aboard, and wire him.
Ambulances were at the train to re-
ceive the patients in response to
message from DR.. Lyle.
When the train reached Lexington
several persons who were sick at
tempted to escape bat we're caught by
the police and forced back on the
train. They were taken to the Branch
hospital on their arrival here.
All the other passengers of the
train were allowed to go to their des-
tination but the names and addresses
Of all were taken and they can be
reached by the authorities IL needed.
Reports that a large number of these
were also sick are being investigated
by physicians.

Rust Spots.

II Is not hard to take out rust spots
A little salt, lemon and sunshine will
do the work; but 1t saves time and
labor to prevent them. prolific
source OF these blemishes on white
and other light colored tub gowns is
hooks and eyes. These fastenings, II
made of the usual metal, must be
removed before the gown is sent to
the laundry otherwise IL will be
sprinkled with rust spots. Even ia.
PANIED hooks and eyes cause the
same disaster; and they not only
rust the gown they are on, but every
other article with which they come
in contact in the laundry process. Be
sides taking them off and replacing
them before each wearing is an i'm
possible slavery. All this can be
avoided by using hooks and eyes
made of brass. These will not stain
the fairest gown, even when subject
ed to repeated launderings. There
are also in the market snap fasten-
ings of several different styles, but all
made of aluminium, either in natural
color or japanned. These, also, are
antitrust. Cressmakers and tailors
dislike to use them, because they are
hard to sew on, having to be secured
in four different places; but once on
they are firm and have the merit of
not staining the gown.

LOCATE BANK CASHIER
IN NEW YORK ASYLUM
Former Official of Kansas Fiscal sn-
stitution Is Found by Detectives
for Insurance Company.

Niles. Mich, Sept. 1S.--A search
begun seven years ago by detectives
employed by the New York Life In
surance company for George A. Kim
mel, who disappeared on July 80, 1898.
from Arkansas City, Kan, where he
had been cashier of the Farmers
State bank, Is said to have resulted
in the discovery of Kimmel in an
asylum near New York city, where It
is claimed he was confined several
years ago.
A. G. Bacon OF ST. Louis, Mo-, who
has been retained as attorney by Mrs.
Edna X. Bonslett, sister of Kimmel,
the sole beneficiary OF Kimmel's life
insurance policy of $4,000, has been
notified of Kimmel's location and has
sent relatives to New York to estab-
fish the identity of the missing man.
The establishing of the identity of
the man Kimmel may clear up
mystery connected with the supposed
defalcation of $4,000 from the First
National bank of Niles by Charles A.
Johnson, an uncle of Kimmel, who
was cashier of the latter bank when
that institution failed in 1901. 1t is
alleged Johnson used Kimmel as
cats paw and that the latter fled to
avoid arrest.

masses of workingmen have been
marching to the lower house of the
diet for the purpose Of making a
demonstration in favor of universal

house received the deputation who
presented petitions setting forth the
demands of the people. In reply

dent of the house prevented him ex-
pressing an opinion, but he begged
the people to await quietly the decis-
ion of parliament.
Work is at a standstill in all the
factories as the workers are taking
part in the demonstrations. No dis
turbanees had occurred up to the time
this dispatch was filed.

POLITICAL SCANDAL
FOUND IN INDIANA
Stats Auditor Sherrick Re-
Loved By Governor
HanIy.
THE ACTION is SENSATIONAL
Official Charged With Shortage OF
About $I45, 900 - Alleged to Have
Loaned Public Funds to Parties
Without Proper Security.

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 15.-Alleg-
ing that David E. Sherrick, auditor Of
state, was guilty of "a plain and mex
cusable violation of the lazy, and
gross betrayal of public trust" in that
he invested funds belonging to the
state in private affairs, to the extent Of
about $145,000, Governor Hanly yes
terday issued an executive order, in
which he took cognizance of a vacancy
in the office, and appointed Warren
Bigler of Wabash, Ind, as his success
sor. This in effect amounts to a re-
moval of Mr.. Sherricz by the gov
ernor, though the Official statement
is not made that way
The governor gave Sherrick until
noon yesterday to make his settle
ment. This was not done, and the
governor after having asked for Sher-
rick's resignation three times, effect
ed the removal. Sherrick has not
been arrested as yet, and in his state
ment Governor Hanly did not say
that such an action was contemplated.
Mr.. Sherrick could not be seen yes
terday.
In formal statement issued rela-
tive to the matter the governor said
he had been investigating the affairs
in the auditors Office since the last
of August, having received informal
ton that Sherrick had not made the
July settlement for the state funds,
which had accumulated from January
to July /, 1905. He Immediately asked
for settlement, which was made.
This amount was about $235,000. In
addition to this amount the auditor
in his statement to the governor ad-
mitted that he was at that time
chargeable with state funds paid in
since the July payment amounting
to $145,197S0, for which he filed a
schedule enumerating the assets he
had to meet this amount which he
owed to the state. These items in
cluded notes, stocks and securities
amounting to $152,8S3.33, of which,
according to the governors letter, on
ly $37,355.01 could be realized on.

TUG R|DDLED
BY SHELLS
Canadian Cruiser VigiIant is
After Fishirg
Tug.
RACE FOR BOUNDARY LINE
American Tug Forced to Run Eight
Miles to Safety-Result of Habit OF
Erie Fishermen to Gross Line Into
Canadian Waters to Lower Lines.

Erie, Pa, Sept. 1S.-The fourth of
the fish tug incidents of the past week
took place in midlake yesterday when
the Canadian cruiser Vigilant riddled
the big steam tug Harry G. Barnhurst
with small shells from the rifle on the
patrol boat. Captain Nick Easel Of
the tug admitted after he escaped
that the Vigilant could have sent her
to the bottom if CAPTAIN Dunn had
so desired. They ran more than
eight miles under full head of steam
before they crossed the boundary line
and escaped from the Canadians.
More than thirty shots struck the
vessel and of these fifteen of the
small shells landed with telling effect
on the upper parts so the boat careen-
ed to one side with the mass or
wreckage when she came into port.
Having been used formerly for plea
sure steamer, the Barnhurst is Of
large size and well fitted with steam
equipment. The fireman, Magnus
Johnson, tainted in the hold from
oNOl CASlhlOh III hSSplhS SiAS oNSoAiSi
going ahead He was reported killed,
but revived after reaching the shore.
Two fishermen were cut in the face
by splinters shot away by the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Cap
tain Easel, was about five miles over
the lines drawing the nets when the
Vigilant appeared. The other Erie
tugs, the Alma, Valiant, and the Boyd,
were closer to the line and ran away
when the chase started. Captain
Dunn ordered the Barnhurst to stop.
but instead of doing so, Captain Easel
put on full steam and started for
the line. He took a southwesterly
direction and could not be headed
by the Vigilant.
1t has become quite the custom for
the Erie fishermen to cross the line,
regardless of strict orders from the
companies employing them, and have
exciting brushes with the Vigilant.
They never think of surrender when
there is a chance to run away. The
Barnhurst lost large quantity Of
nets.

DONATED MONEY
FOR POLITICS
N. Y. Life Gave Check of
$48,702 to Republican
Committee.
SHOWN IN lNSURAN CE HEARING
Same Thing Done in 1896 and 1900
Campaigns - George WI Perkins,
Summoned Before Legislative Com
mittee, Springs Sensation.

New York, Sept. 16.-GeorSe w.
Perkins, member of the firm of ]. p.
Morgan & Co. and first vice presi-
dent of the New York Life Insurance
company was the star witness at yes
terdays session of the special legis-
lative committee probing insurance
companies methods and his testi-
mony was replete with revelations of
the development of finance as applied
by insurance companies.
Mr.. Perkins was first called just
previous to the hour for luncheon. He
resumed Immediately after the recess
and was still being questioned when
adjournment was taken for the day.
The climax of the day came when
Mr. Perkins was asked concerning
an entry of $48,702 in a ledger marked
ordered paid by the president" Mr..
Randolph, the treasurer OF the New
York Life company, who had been on
the stand earlier in the day, had been
sharply questioned as to the purport
of this entry, but he was unable to ex-
plain it. He thought no one except the
president could Mr. Perkins had
been called to testify as to some other
transactions and, after a recess, he
was asked to produce the check. 1t
was made out payable to ]. P. Morgan
&c Co., and Mr.. Perkins frankly stated
that 1t was contribution to the no.
tional republican campaign commit
nee and had been paid, to Cornelius N.
Bliss. Mr.. Perkins said:
"This payment was made after very
careful deliberation. 1t must not be
considered an ordinary contribution
to the campaign fund 1t was paid
because we felt the assets of the New
York Life Insurance company would
be jeopardized by democratic success"
Mr.. Perkins said contributions were
also made in 1900 and in 1896. AS an
illustration, witness said the first con-
tribution made was in 1896 by Presi-
dent Mccall, who is q democrat. "He
contributed to the Mckinley cam
paign fund and voted the best inter
ests of the policy holders of his COM
pany."
This boom caused murmur of con-
versation about the room which had
become packed with spectators.

new STATE WILL Be
CALLED SEQUOYAH

Muskogee, l. t., Sept. 16.-Sequo-
yah will be the new state if Indian
Territory is admitted This appeals
particularly to the Cherokees, for he
was one of the greatest men of that
race.
Sequoyah invented the Cherokee
alphabet 1t comprises of eighty-six
characters and is said to be the most
perfect system of phonetics in the
world. 1t is claimed that a person
able to speak the Cherokee language
could in twenty-four hours learn to
read anything printed in these char
acters.
Sequoyah was born in Wills Valley,
Ca, in 1863. In early life he was a
silversmith. He was self taught. He
began work on the alphabet in 1909
wards joined the Cherokees in this
country. The first use made of his
alphabet, which was put in type form
In 1925, was to print the laws of the
Cherokees and the new testament. A
paper published for many years by
the tribal government, and still in ex-
istence, is printed half in English and
half in Cherikee.
Sequoyah represented his tribe on
many important missions to Wash
ington. Congress gave him a reward
of $500 for having invented the alpha
bet. and named a park in the Yo-
semitic valley and the great trees of
California in his honor The Chero-
KEGS gave him a pension. He lived
for time near Fort Gibson, in the
Cherokee nation, in cabin that is
still standing. He died in Mexico in
1S43. A movement is afoot to erect
a monument in, his honor at Table
quah.
