John CAMEL Wants to Sell.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Oct 24.-At
the final meeting of the Central league
magrates for the season of 1906 held
here yesterday the pennant was
awarded formally to Grand Rapids.
The report of President Carson
showed the total liabilities of the
league were 81. 9O9.91, and the total
assets S11,592.6O. leaving a deficit OF
$317.31. Each club paid S54.6z into
the treasury to square accounts.
Every club was represented by one
or more delegates. Several trades OF
players were proposed. but no deals
were closed. The annual meeting of
the league will be held in Toledo

President Carson stated he would
refuse to accept the presidency again
unless the league paid the salary Of
his secretary. IF am not president
of the league next year I will be con-
nected with the South Bend club he
said.
Louis Heilbronner was here look

the league will open the 1907 season
with the same towns with which it
closed last year.

SEES DEMOCRAT HOUSE
Col. Bryan Writes a Letter TO the
Faithful IN Kentucky.

Washington, Oct 24-The follow
ing letter from W. J. Bryan to Chair
man Griggs of the Democrat con-
gressional committee explaining why
he will be unable to visit Cynth1anas
KY. and incidentally predicting the
complexion Of the next house OF rep
resentatives, has been made public:
Dear Mr.. Griggs: I am very sorry
that It is impossible to 60 to Gym
thiana, KY. but, as I wired you, my
time is all taken until election. wish
Democratic candidate for congress in
that district (Mr. kehhoe) and say to
him am very anxious for his sue
cess. The Indications are that we
shall have the next congress and then
our Democrat house can send to the
senate remedial measures and join is
sues with the Republicans if they re-
fuse to adopt them. The Republican
leaders are so under the control of
predatory wealth that they viii not
support the president when he at
secure some reform The president
does not go far enough nor fast
enough IN the direction of reform, but
his political associates are all the time
throwing obstacles in his way. The
best way to support the president is
to elect Democrats in the place of
Republicans for the records show that
the Democrats have stood by him bet
ter in the senate and house than the
Republicans have. Ny interest in this
campaign has been shown by the fact
that I am devoting every day to cam
paign work. If your invitation had
come earlier I would have set apart
day for the Cynthiana district.

Report ON Cost to Massachusetts of
Caring for Lepers.

New Bedford, Mass. Oct 24.=The
five lepers cared for by the state of
Massachusetts, at the Isolated colony
on Penikez island. in Buzzard's Bay,
have cost the Bay state for the first
fourteen months Of the experiment
S49,O43. according to figures made
public today The greater portion of
this sum, however, was expended for
necessary initial expenses which in
Guided the purchase of the island. the
building OF four cottages for the pa
tents and other equipment. DR..
Joshua F. Lewis. superintendent of the
board of charity of the state adult
poor, estimates that, now the colony is
established, an annual appropriation
of $1,000 will be adequate. In 1905
the state legislature appropriated $780,
600 for the adjustment of a leper
colony.
Dr. Lewis said the first year of the
experiment had been success and
claimed that the plan proved more
economical than the old system of
caring for lepers in scattered portions
Of the commonwealth. Hitherto the
victims of the disease had cost the
state $1,000 annually.

1T is reported that the smokers in
Topeka are going to present a tesd-
moniaI TO George ". Stansfeld eS2
Kansas avenue, Topeka, for assuming
the agency of Wadsworth Bros Chi
cos, a high grade Havana filled cigar
that sells for a nickel.
Stansheld is perfectly satisfied,
though, with the appreciative thank
you's'' he has had from lovers of a
good cigar to whom he has recon-
mended the Chico. It is one Of the
best smokes in his show case, and sells
at a price SO low that any one can
afford to smoke it.
The price. however, is not the reason
why our leading lawyers, bankers and
business men call for the Chicos- They
buy II and smoke It because 1t Is a
good cigar. Try one yourself and join
the Chico club.
