The Baptist Tabernacle in Atlanta
has just purchased two adjoining
lots at cost of $4,000 on which it
is the intention of the Tabernacle
congregation to erect a $250,0OO au-
ditorium. This building will be
used as place of worship, and also
for the accommodation of large pub
lie conventions. 1t will have a seat
ing capacity of 1000 and will be one
of the handsomest structures in the
entire South. This is decided step
forward on the part of the Baptists
of this section of the country, and
one upon which they are to be con-
graduated by the whole religious
world.--Southern Presbyterian.

Under new law in Norway every
would. be bride must exhibit certifi-
cate that she knows how to cook.
In that country dyspeptic is re-
garded as natural curiosity, while
over here they are the rule rather
than the exception. By all means
let us have the Norway law and a
nation full of good cooks, which will
do more to reform vice than all the
efforts put forth by the professionals.
1t is bad food and bad cooking that
is making US a nation of grafters and
filling the country with dyspeptic
cronks.-The American Farm.

How to Advoid Appendicitis.

Most victims of appendicitis are those
who are habitually constipated. Orino
Laxative Fruit Syrup cures chronic con-
stipation by stimulating the liver and
bowels and restores the natural action of
the bowels. Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup
does not nauseate or gripe and is mild
and pleasant to take. Refuse substitutes.

H. III. Trawick and Sam Chandler,
two white men confined in the county
Jail at Lufkin, Texas, were found
dead in their cell August 9th, with
their skulls crushed. John Wilson,
a cell mate, and held on a minor
charge, is charged with the crime.
1t is believed the men were killed
while asleep, and the earthen cuspi-
dor found in the cell was evidently
the weapon used. Wilson denies the
charge, but tells conflicting stories.

save one man of 1t. His appeal will
be to beat Justice Gabbert.
The Democratic cohorts, II they can
be called by resonnding title. meaning
but small number, however. are in
retrerat. 1t is the story OF two years
ago. only more so. The Adams fam
ily is ridding the ticket OF salvage on
one side, and Patterson is casting all
to the winds but his own personal re-
venge.
Boss Patterson's newspapers have
undertaken to teach the people, par
ticularly the Republicans, how to
Scratch the Republican ticket to
save the Patterson nominees for the
supreme court bench. The veriest
tyro in politics knows what this
means. It is like rocket in the
midst of storm; 1t Is the bugle coll
to retreat in the heart of battle.
The Patterson state ticket is over
whclmingly beaten and the boss
knows 1t three weeks before election.
Yesterdays announcement in the
Patterson school to teach raw re-
crnits how to save the boss must be
pleasant reading for the rest of the
ticket. There is a grain of succor for
AudUlS-d Slight lHiliHdllDu lS given
of how to Scratch" for him, but the
main work is for the delectable Seeds
and the Micawber-like Hartenstein.
In Denver Boss Patterson has re-
fused recognition TO the. local Demo
cratic ticket, made up of a gang that
he had fought for years, and has
forced the machine to appeal to Lind
sey for aid; and. now, in the state
he has issued instructions to let all
the state ticket go in order to save
his candidates for the supreme court
bench.
This change in the Patterson pro
gram ought to serve as severe warn
ing to all Independent and liberty low
ing citizens in this state. They must
turn their attention to the new line
of battle. They must ask themselves
what the result 10 the state would be
should Patterson's revenge be granite L.
Just as certain as election day is
coming, Boss Patterson will have cen
tered his whole battery on the one
single object. the defeat Of Chief jus
tice Gahbert, before another ten days
He is preparing the way for his as
sault- If he can have this one victory
to his credit he will be satisfied and
the state will he that much the loser

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change a
lew years OF married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from n
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar.
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

Here is what Patterson said of
Adams just ten years ago: "Thc
corporations will be retained in
power by the election of Alva Adams
as governor" What has caused the
change from those days to these? Is
IL the fact that Alva, instead Of being
semi-millionaire then, has row be-
come millionaire? Is ii the fact that
he is now a director in dozen more
corporations than he was then? Yet
Patterson now says that the election
of Alva Adams means the abolition
of Corporation domination in Colo
RADIO" whatever that is. Please eS-
plain the reason for the change, Mr..
Patterson.

A well known Democrat remarked
yesterday that If II was question
between Patterson and Guggenheim
he would take the latter two to one.
And this sentiment is voiced all over
the state. Now, Mr.. Democrat, do
you not know Tom Patterson well
enough to know that he Is playing a
slick game and that If the Legislature
Is Democratic, Patterson Will come
forward as the saviour of his country
and demand endorsement. Has he
not pledged Alva, the meek, to serve
the full term as governor If elected?
And 1t Is fresh in everybody's mind
how the senator 'spewed' out all the
old line Democrats in the recent state
convention, Patterson is trouble
breeder and 1t does seem as though
the state had gone through enough
turmoil.

Chancellor Buchtel. according to
Yellow Boss Patterson, is untitled for
governor of Colorado. because he has
preached and led a Christian life.
This may be true from the Demo
cratic point OF view. A minister would
really be lonesome In the Democratic
party. as 1t Is organized today. but
the Republicans of Colorado have no
objections to a candidate simply be
cause he Is decent. moral and honest

AT high noon today Rev. Father
Duffy of st. Columbas Catholic
church recited the words which Joined
Tor life the destinies of Miss Gertrude
Strater and Mr.. H. Wayne Russell.
The grand wedding ceremony OF the
Catholic church was performed at the
house of the brides parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred w. Strater. on Third ave-
nue.. in the presence of many friends
and acquaintances of the BRIDE her
parents and the groom. Some 100 in
vitations were issued and responded
to.
Promptly on the stroke of 10 o'clock
the bridal procession came down tSe
stairs to the music of the Lohengrin
wedding march played by Feichting-
er's orchestra and passed into the
back parlor, taking position under a
bell of smilax, roses and carnations.
Here the solemn rite which made the
two one was performed. Little Mary
Chapman acted as ring-bearer and
little Martha Wingate and Howard
Herr acted as pages, lending very
pretty touch to the occasion. The
bride wore chiffon taffeta and the
groom the conventional black.
lHe ceremony u
reception was held at which Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell received the congratula-
tions of the guests, and refreshments
were served to all
large number of exquisite pres
ents were received by the bride and
groom, among them cut glass table
ware, silver and painted china articles
in great variety
The bride is the only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred w. Strater and has
lived in Durango and been a general
favorite since early childhood. She
will be missed by very many friends.
Mr. Russell is a young business
man who is making his mark, being
the travelling representative OF the
Denver Post, His trips to Durango
in that capacity brought him his ac-
quaintance with his bride and the old,
old story was the result His place
of birth was Albion. Mich.
This evening Mr.. and Mrs Russell
will take the Silverton train and make
their wedding journey around the cir
Gle TO Denver, where they will live
temporarily at the Shirley. They ex-
pect to be established in a homS in
Denver in couple of weeks.

welded pair its heartiest congratuIa-

The immense crowds that greet Dr..
Buchtel and the Republican candl-
dates and speakers wherever they go
is an indication OF the way the people
are going to vote this fall. They are
gradually getting stirred up to the
possible results of Democratic VIC
tory. In times of prosperity 1t is al
ways hard to stir the people up-they
are content to let well enough alone.
But when they see that prosperity is
threatened. then they wake up and
take some interest. They are doing
1t now and victory is assured on No

There are different stories around
as to the amount OF money it took to
get the Democrat off the fence. The
management was nearly week in
debating the matter. During Alva's
visit 1t is said the situation was gone
over and something had to be done.
OF course 1t would not do TO come out
the day after Adams was here. be
cause 1t would be too plain. although
the following morning Mr.. Adams re-
ceived unusual praise and no critl-
cism. While it required much
larger sum than the results will JUS
tify, the paper can now be looked to
as the mouth-piece of the local Dem
ocracy and chances are 1t will be sup
porting both Adams and Russell be-
fore the end OF the campaign.
