THE FALL ELECTION.

The state elections will be of more
than usual interest and Importance this
year and will be watched closely, as the
result in several states will have great
bearing on the presidential election two
years hence. The important fact is
the schisms in the republican ranks in
the usually strong republican states of
Pennsylvania, Iowa, Massachusetts and
Wisconsin, and the factional fights in
Ohio, New York, Illinois, Rhode Island,
New Hampshire and Vermont. These
party disturbances must have more or
less effect on the campaign for congress
men and the election Of legislatures
that will select United States senators
and as the democrats have nothing to
lose in the states mentioned, for their
representation in the present congress
is at the minimum, they may make sur
prising gains. There is genuine
reform feeling prevalent and if the re-
publican reformers find themselves cut
off by machine methods from tariff re-
vision and square DEAL their re-
source is to quietly vote for decent
democrats.

Men past Sixty In Danger.

More than half of mankind over sixty
years of age suffer from kidney and
bladder disorders, usually enlargement
of prostate gland. This is both painful
and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney
Cure should be taken at the first sign
of danger, as it corrects Irregularities
and has cured many old men OF this
disease. Mr.. Rodney Burnett, Rock
Port, Mo-, writes: 81 suffered with en-
larged prostate gland and kidney trou-

For years Marshall Field was pointed

For years Marshall Field was pointed
to as one rich man who did not seek
to evade his taxes. Now the Chicago
tax board has assessed the personal
property of the estate at $130,000,OO0
and the real estate at S5O,0OO,OOO. The
reviewers say that for years Field es-
capped taxation on the greater part of
his property and the executors will be
asked to pay total tax, including back
taxes, of S2,S00,0OO. Taxation of the
rich seems to be even greater failure
in the large cities than in the smaller
communities.

Independent oil men are iubilant owe

Independent oil men are jubilant over
the action of western railroads in their
recent decision to assume prorating
arrangements with eastern railroads
This will have the effect of materially
reducing rates on oil and it's products
from the eastern oil fields and refineries
to all points west of Chicago. It is
claimed that this will be an important
factor in enabling independent con-
Germs to compete with the Standard Oil
company.
