been that hundreds of people have been making earnest endeavors to persuade Colonel Dillingham; to remain in the South and yesterday he decided to yield to the power that has been brought to bear upon him by his many new friends. In an interview with reporter. Colonel Dillingham; said: My intention was to leave for Cincinnati next week, and I consider it to my interest to have done so, but the peo- pie of the State have been very kind to me and the telephone in my apartments at the h hotel has been ringing all day long for the last two days with the request that remain a month or so> longer. I have been urged by mem bers of my company to remain but have been compelled to decline on account of previous imperative business en- agreements elsewhere. I acertainly gratefully appreciate this evidence of friendship of the pc ople of this coun- try and will be very sorry to leave
 when the time comes It Is under stood that Col Dillingham's intention upon first coming South was to sell
 his medicines and handle them him self; that no one outside of the com pany be allowed to dispose of the reme- dies but the demand for the goods has grown to such enormous propor- tions that he has found himself unable to supply hundreds of the people anx- ious to obtain the remedies and has placed the medicines in the hands of druggists and the remarkable reme- dies will be sold from the drug stores hereafter. Colonel Dillingham; is pre- eminentiy an example of the we'll known fact that most of the successful men begin life with very little. He started with next to nothing and was educated to q great extent in the school of experience and hard knowledge; he omes from a long line of industrious Vermont politicians. and has inherited from tn em a remarkable gift of oratory and personal magnetism. At the age of A the desire to travel was too strong to be resisted by the boy and he left 8 luxuri ous home with nothing in his pocket, to seek fame and for tune in the unknown world which lay beyond the Great Mountains surround ing his homestead the next ten years he traveIed the world over, encounter ing many hardships and seeing many pc ople and places. It is claimed by him there are very few towns of any consequence in the United States that

His principal laboratory is situated at Sas West Fifth Street, Cincinnati, O., and he also has two immense ware houses adjacent thereto. Colonel Dil lingham is popular business and elul man in his home city and his reputa tion for integrity and acts of philaE- thropy is known everywhere he visits, and is especially So in Cincinnati. where he gives many thousands of dol lars tof the different charities througa- out the city Probably the most unique feature of Colonel Dillingham's fad and fancies is the amount of beautiful gems he wears on his person.
 Colonel Diilingham's success as al advertiser and lecturer on diseases has been so remarkable that many have come to the belief that he Is a hypno- tist of unusual power; that this re markable force and wonderful infiu- ence here in the city are due to the hypnotic powers. This is of course, an absurdity on it's face, as 1t is ut- terly impossible for a hypnotist, no matter how strong, to exert influence over more than one person at a-tame, and the idea of this man hypn otizing thousands of people into the belief that they were cured by the use of his med iclnes can only be entertained by peo- pie ignorant of what hypnotism and It's limitations really are. Colonel Dil- lingham,s success can be attributed to but two things: First, his thorough understanding of advertising in all that includes, and, sec ond, the fact that he has remarkable remedies, which do more than he claims for them.

rhe poom Of the Taft Boom.

LOulSVlll6 COuEleF-JOuTnhl.
 William H. Taft has sealed his doom as Presidential candidate. Across s. 900 miles of sunlit sea and broad, substantial continent there comes the news of a terrible scandal in the orient. Secretary Taft has accepted 2 loving cup as gift from the lawless body of men known as the Manila As sembly He has branded himself as being infinitely worse than. Mir. Fair banks, who suffered forty cocktails to be served. but who never drank one in his life, and would not be able to tell the difference between a Manhattan and a Martini if he were compelled to testify under oath.
 What, fellow citizens, and members of the w. c. T. U., is loving cup7 It is a vessel between the size ora wash bowl and gourd fashioned for two handed drinking, and usually filled with juleps or punch in bulk. Tho drinker seizes it by convenient handles on each side, eleVates 1t above the level of his lips, and pours a part of a Veritable sea of stimulant down his throat. He passes it to the tnebriate at his elbow and encourages him to commit a similar offense against de- eency and temperance. The forty Fairbanks cocktails could have been poured into a sponge. and the sponge could have been concealed in the aver age loving cup without wetting its bottom. If Fairbanks is to be criticized for serving cocktails, Taft should be excoriated for accepting the loving cup.
 We have 1t from excellent authority that 1t Is difficult to be good, or even reasonably careful, in the orient. It was, perhaps, the subtle influence of a seductive atmosphere that caused Will liam H. Taft to fall. but, whatever the cause. there can no longer be the slightest hope for him.

Selz Royal Blue shoe

UARANTEED" is such an easy NJ word to use that nearly every maker
 and dealer in shoes uses it; it's so common that nobody pays much attention to 1t.
 But Selz Royal Blue shoe has printed guarantee attached to every pair; it doesn't say much about the shoe-what it's made of etc. It simply says that the man who buys a pair is entitled to satisfaction in them; and authorizes us to "make good.'' We'll do it. Any shoe that maker stands behind like that is safe to sell; and to buy.

BUILT BARRICADE
THEN ROBBED BANK

Ferney, $. D., Sept, 26 The methods
used by the gang Of bank blowers who
recently operated here and at Leola,
securing nearly $1,000, remind many
South Dakotans OF the Jesse James
gang.
In this town they built an eight foot
barricade OF beer cases in front Of
the vault OF the bank Outside Of
the bank they constructed another
barricade In the form OF an apex, while

at the same time giving him excellent
opportunity to pick off anyone who got

toned at the extreme edges Of town
TO keep back any inquisitive persons
who might drive IN. The rest OF the
gang operated on the safe or else
warned the neighbors to keep inside.
Mr. Fleischman, a merchant or the
town and director in the bank,
lroomed across the street over a hard
ware store On hearing the rumpus
outside he got up and lit a lamp and
looked out OF the window. He was
