POLITICAL POINTERS
Mayor Ihayer to Make an Address in
 Naugatuck To-hIght

| Norwich. Oct 23.--Mayor Thayer. | the democratic candidate for gov- ernor, left here to-day for Naugatuck. l where he will speak tonight, and among the subjects he will treat will
 be the state police. Mayor Thayer said before he left that he would be | unable to comply with the many re- quests to speak before the election, and said that propably he would make but two more public speeches, one in New Haven next week and one before a home rally here on the night before election. He expressed himself as satisfied with the way the campaign was going and to a Nor- wich Record reporter referred to an editorial in a New Haven republican organ headed "Thayer and Hearst" ]" He said that this was an example of the fairness of the republican press in the state. Tt is stated" he said, that 'Thayer is evidently anxious that the people of Connecticut should understand that he is very much in- terested in the campaign of William R. Hearst Just where it is evident We are not advised. The editorial goes on to say If Thayer favors Hearst, etc, he must of necessity en- dorse Hearst's ideas and practices.
 This is clearly said and said in way to make it appear, first. that I am in favor of Hearst, and, secondly. that endorse his ideas and practices
 (and all of his ideas and practices). for, says the editorial, he must stand for just what Hearst stands for
 NOW the fact is, continued Mayor; Thayer, II do not know Hearst, only having met him but once about two years ago, and I do not of necessity or otherwise endorse his ideas or practices because am not in his con- fdence. So far as he honestly op- poses ring rule, boss rule and ma chine rule such as we have in Con- necucut under Ullman, Paige and Lilley and honestly desires return to democracy, I am with him, but not more so than he with me.
 And I am also with Hughes in so far as he is against boss rule and machine rule. I am not running New York politics or interfering with them and I am not permitting New York politics to interfere with my campaign. have not endorsed Hearst, Hughes, Murphy or McClel- Ian. have nothing to do with them. for am conducting my campaign in my own way and am telling others to go their own way. only ask fair-. ness from the republican papers,"

T. T. Kelly Takes Opportunity to Offer
a Few Suggestions.

T. T. Kelly the state treasurer has
issued his biennial report showing all
the business transacted in connection
with the treasurer's office for the two
years ending June &c. 1906. Mr. Kelly
refers to the failure of the First Ma
tional bank of Topeka, to the conse-
quent loss of state funds; he refers to
the treasury investigation ordered by
Governor Hoch, of the suit brought
against him in the Shawnee couRty dis
trict court by Attorney General Cole
man, and for the infolRnation of the
governor and others. he says. he has
printed in the report the entire opinion
Of Judge Dana in this case
As a suggestion to Governor Hoch.
Mr.. Kelly recommends that the treas
ury board or the legislature itself in
stead of the governor be authorized to
fix the amount of the bond of the state
The report shows that the delinquent
tax due from counties amounts 10 81
254, $685. 20. Some OF the counties have
owed the state taxes for ten years and
others owe Ior only part of the taxes
of 1905.
Another interesting feature of the re-
port is as to the amount Of bonds held
by the state. Kansas owns $8.862, 020 Sc
worth of bonds according to the report
The state permanent school fund owns
all except one million dollars worth of
the bonds The remainder are distrib-
uted to the state university, the normal
school, the agricultural college and the
Stormont library funds. The amount of
bonds held IN each fund follows:
Permanent school fund. 1888, 112-16;
university permanent fund.- $150,715;
normal school fund $229, 765; agricultural
college fund. s4S5, 20 and Stormont
library, 1920. These bonds are all from
the counties and the state itself except
in the case of the agricultural college,
where S202 01220 with Of bonds were
purchased from Oklahoma counties. In
the perm school fund are $15,900
worth of fraudulent bonds.

THOSE SUDDEN TWTNGES.

Pain is natures signal OF distress,
warning that must not be ignored
These sharp twinges in the back, those
stabilize pains that follow any sudden
twist or turn, are simple signs OF hid
den danger in the kidneys.
No trouble starts more easily gains
ground more rapidly. nor proves more
often fatal than any disorder Of the
kidneys. All the outward appearances
of health may remain until terrible
disease has taken root
1t Is best to learn the duties Of the
kidneys, to watch for early signs OF
trouble and to correct any irregularity
before Its serious stage begins
The blood goes to the kidneys In an
incessant stream, to be cleared of poi
son and relieved of surplus water. This
Is passed of by the kidneys in the
urine. It is the retention of poison in
kidney trouble that breeds fatal dis
ease
Don't wait. The moment you feel
any Aineasiness. lameness or pain in
the back, the moment the urine shows

or in the quantity or number Of the
passages, begin with Doans Kidney

BELIEVE RATES AR EHIGH.
Increased Dividends With Big Car
Shortage Arouse Suspicious.

washington, Dec. $50 many COM
plants have been received that rail-
failing to give adequate car service,
that the. interstate commerce commits
sion is about to start one of the most
important investigations in its history.
1t will take up the question of in
creased dividends in connection with
assertions that they are the result of
unduly nigh rates. In connection with
the shortage of cars there are intima
lions that some shippers are favored at
the expense of others.
Generally, railroad rates have not
been reduced. The tendency has been
to higher figures, but the principal
not get the cars to transport their
goods, and these complaints have be-
come general They have been pouring
in on the commission at the rate OF
hundreds day.
All this time the railroad stockhold-
erS have been receiving millions in in
creased dividends One example was
the 10 per cent dividend of Union Pa
cific. Another was the 10 per cent ex-
ira dividend of the Lackawanna. Still
another was the division of valuable
rights by the Pullman company.
The investigation of the increased
dividends in connection with the short
age of rolling stock will be underta ken
by the commission Immediately and be
followed up by an investigation of the
relation between increased dividends
and the increased cost of articles of ne
cessity.
One point that is made by many
cOmplsinants is that where railro1 DIS
are practically in combination, as is the
case with the anthracite lines, instead
of taking all the traffic they can get and
proyfding} facilities for it, they. are saw
ing money on rolling stock and favoring
certain shippers in certain localities.
If this can be established it will prove
the existence of a widespread evil that
the rate bill was designed to check and
mako necessary recommendation to
congress for the passage of a law en-
towering the commission to compel rail-
roads to supply cars and rolling stock
for all traffic offered.
Petitions received by the interstate
commerce commission also recite ex-
orbitant dividends paid by all the ex-
press companies, and these are put
ity of the companies to do business at
lower rates. Many of the petitioners
assert that If the traffic companies, by
reducing grades, removing curves and
improving terminals and switching IA
cilities, are able to haul freight at less
COST there should be a reduction of
freight rates.
1t is believed the investigation by the
interstate commerce commission will be
especially directed at the roads dealing
in coal, which were the subject of an
inquiry by the old commission last
year. Notwithstanding the advance in
the price of coal in recent years as
made by the railroads, it IS found the
top has not yet been reached. It is
pointed out that, while the price of coal
to the consumer is continually going
up, directors of well known coal roads
are declaring extra dividends.

asked as to his age informed the Of

yet, compared in importance and
value with her corn, wheat is a side

aggregated when compared to even ap-

of the Kansas corn crop of 1902 from

cost of the entire Louisiana purchase

United States paid, for Alaska. In the
past ten years the value of the corn
crops of Kansas has been $1O6,000, 000,-
coo more than that of the wheat pro-
