the eisy Monday sweating with the
hope OF nnains some eiew here that

brother. who ss~tertously disap-
peared Il weak aga last Friday, Mr,
Carpenter said that he had visited ali
the lawns around in this section OF
the state and made diligent inquiry.
but he could not find the first trace.
of the missing man. He seems to
have hopelessiy disappeared As II he
had been swallowed up In the sea.
MIR. Carpenter said that his brothers
wife Is still at Hudson. where she
went to remain until he had ar
ranged things for their removal to
Hawarden, Iowa, where Rex had
bought a barber shop. She. stated
hat there was not the slightest rea-
o for Rex disappearing In this way,
hat their family relations had been
of the most pleasant character and
no cloud had ever lowered over their
household.
Rex Carpenter worked in the
Mitchell hotel barber shop and he
was to leave on the early morning
train on March 20, for Hawarden.
Iowa. He got up early in the morn
ing. and with about ten minutes to
spare to catch the train he left the
Mitchell hotel and went to the de-
pot. There all trace of him is lost,
as he was not seen to get on the
train. He is a young man of quiet
disposition, but did not carry suffi-
cient money with him to cause any
body to hold him up. When he left
he had about $50, and so far as
known had made no display Of it.
He is five feet 10 inches high, weighs
about 14O pounds, has light complex
ion and dark hair.
Clyde Carpenter went back to
Hudson Tuesday to take up the
search again. He fears that foul
play has been done to his brother,
although he is not known to have
any enemies.

BROKE INTO wEBBER's
Burglar Gained Entrance to Their
Restaurant by Smashing a Win.
dow in the Rear.


When, the Weber Bros. got, down
to the restaurant Tuesday they
discovered that something had hap
pened to their place of business be-
tween midnight and morning, and
when they looked in the money draw
ers. and found that it had been robbed
of all its contents, they were further
impressed that something else had
happened.
The. brothers closed their restau-
rant shortly after IL O'Clock Monday
night, and when they reached the
place this morning they discovered
that a glass in one of the rear WIN
dows had been broken. By that
means the burglar had easily turned
the latch in the middle and raised
the window to admit his body get
ting through. Finding the money
drawer, Mr.. Burglar helped himself
to all the change that. was left over
night, which amounted to 800. The
curtains were drawn to the front
windows and there was no light in
the room so that the night policemen
could look in and see If everything
was all right. The night policemen
we're a block away from the restau-
rant when the robbery took place and
of course could not hear the smash
ing of the glass, which was accom-
plished by the burglar throwing a
brick through the pane.
Mr.. Sharp. who works at the Cur
tbs livery barn, said that he saw four
or five men in the vicinity of the res
taurant along about 1880 o'clock.
But there is no further clue as to
who went through the restaurant.

The echoes of the Chicago election
will be heard for months afterward
in the windy city, all because of th9
libel suits which have been started
as a result of the campaign. Will
liam R. Hearst has brought suit
against the Chicago Tribune for $2,I
100000, and Fred A. Busse, the rel
publican candidate for mayor, hat
commenced six suits for libel against
William r. Hearst and his newspas
pers; .aggregating $4,000. The
most laughable thing about this lit
bel business is that Hearst is suink
anybody for libel. Not one of his
newspapers will hesitate very long
about printing most anything about
an individual and to think thai
Hearst would stand back and bring
a libel suit is quite amusing. The
Tribune does not take the Hearst
libel suits very seriously and sayAH
that after the election is over it will
commence a libel suit against the
Chicago American. The issues of the
campaign when it opened was with
to the traction franchise OF
the city, but 1t had not proceeded,
far. before personalities. were I'M
d1nlged in to an alarming extent, and;
about every man in the, limelght Of

Senator Gamble is down east on
a visit to his old home and while at
Amsterdam, NY, he was inter-
viewed on South Dakota. The SEN
ator took occasion to make a liberal
statement of the growth and devel-.
opment of the state and set forth its
advantages as thoroughly as would
an immigration agent. He also in
dulged in a little political talk and
expressed opposite views to those of
Senator, Kittredge whom South
Dakota will support, fol, the presiden-
,tial nomination. Senator kittredge
in an interview gave, il out that
South Dakota would be for Secre7;

The most encouraging signs come
from all parts of South Dakota in
dicating that this is going to be an
of those mountaineering years

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader dug
up out of the records of 1896 a
prophecy that was made by William
Jennings Bryan of what would hap
pen if William Mckinley were elected
|president of the United States. The
prophecy had its supporters in those
days for a time, and MI. Bryan was
so insistent that many believed that
it would come true. Here is what Mr..
Bryan prophesied: eff Mckinley and
the republican party are successful
and put in power for the next four
years, wages will be decreased, hard
times will come upon us, and over
the land the price of wheat will go
down, and the price of gold will go
up; mortgages on our homes will be
l~foreclosed by the money lenders;
shops and factories will close and We
win import from foreign lands all the
goods we use; thus will ruin, want
and misery be with u.s." +,
What a dire condition of things
Mr.. Bryan had mapped out to get
himself into the presidential chair.
But just turn your mind back over
the past ten years and find wherein
just mt of Mr.. Bryan's prophesies
came true. Today when he is utter
ing prophesies can there be any
greater reliance placed In his words?
People do not care to be fooled twice.

and settlement of the anticipated
railroad strike between the employees
and the managers of the western
railroads. These two gentlemen left
Washington Friday and expect to be
with the opposing forces in Chicago
today. They have made the offer of
assisting in a settlement of the
strike, but whether they will be given
an opportunity to take part or not is
a question. Grand Master Norris
sey, of the trainmen, declares that
the situation is now such that the
railroad employees cannot recede an.
iota from their position already
taken, in that it has already been de-
livered to the railroad managers as
an ultimatum, and for them to make
any concessions now would mean
that they had been partially defeated.

discouraging in every way possible the
idea that turkeys were plentiful.

JUST AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR
THIS GLASS OF CRIMINAL
PREYS ON THE SMALL MER-
CHANTS AND PosToFFIcES.

Postmaster Spekenhier of this city
has been apprised that a number of
yeggman are working on the smaller
postoffices throughout this section Of
the country and in the East, The Off
cial journal of the postmasters this
week, devotes much space to the oper-
ations of yeggmen, and of their cum
ming ways in pulling off" the various
jobs successfully. This is the season
of the year for yeggmeu and the small
merchant and postmaster are caution
ed to keep a close look out in order to
prevent robbery. Ohio seems to be 4
great sufferer from the hands of tray
cling crooks. Notwithstanding that a
man who robs the government. is trac-
ed as no other criminal is, almost one
half hundred offices have been rob-
bed in Ohio in the past year. the major
ity of these robberies occurring at this
season of the year. Most of the burg
laries were at the postoffiees in small
towns. 1t is rather singular that al
though large force of government in
spectors are always placed on the trail
of the yeggman postoffice robbers, but
few are caught.

A MAXIMUM SCALE
IS ESTABLISHED BY IT
Indiana Railroad Commission
Passes on Question.
RATES ON ROAD MATERIAL

With its opinion and order, filed
Friday following a general inquiry in
to the rates on rOad-making materials,
throughout the state. the Indiana Rail-
road commission establishes maxi
mum scale Of rates on materials for
road and street making for thirty-five
railroads doing business in the state.
The opinion in the case is by Judge
c. V. McAdams, who holds that, in
asmuch as the materials are for public
benefit, it is not unjust discrimination
for the railroads to charge less for
these materials for public improve
ments than for the same materials
furnished for private purposes. Some
of the railroads have indicated that
they may not adopt the commissions
scale and considerable litigation may
result from the commissions order.
Among the railroads affected by
the commissions order:
Vandalia Railroad Co.; Pittsburg.
Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis; Penn
syivania Co; Grank Rapids & Indi-
ana; Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago &,
st. Louis; Lake Erie & Western; Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton; Chicago
Cincinnati & Louisville.

WILL COME FORWARD WITH

The end of the commercial telegra-
piers strike is not yet. The strikers
have broken away from the president
of their organization, whom they
charge with graft. The situation IN
Chicago and so far as it effects Rich
mond and vicinity. is the same as it
was five weeks ago. Nearly one hun
dred New York telesraphers are still
employed in the Chicago office of the
Western Union company. In this Of
flee there are now about 400 telegra-
piers. as compared with the usual
force Of eco operators. The railroad
operators are preparing to make de-
mands for a raise in wages next March
when the eight-hour law goes into Ell.
feet. The Order OF Railway Telegra-
pliers has a membership of more than
81. coo and the effect of general strike
would be the tying up OF railroads all
over the country.

ETHEL ROOSEVELT
NOT TO MAKE DEBUT
Daughter of the President Will
Not Appear in Society
This Year.
GOING BACK TO SCHOOL.
FRIENDS OF MRS. ROOSEVELT
SAY SHE WILL INTRODUCE HER
DAUGHTER TO WASHINGTON
CHRISTMAS WEEK OF 1908.

Washington, D. c.. Oct. 26 To the
great disappointment of many ambi-
tious mammas, it is finally made clear
to the social world that Miss EthA
Roosevelt will not bow to society this
winter. The impressions had been
current that because Miss Roosevelt
would not return to her classes at the
Cathedral school she would be partly
in society this season and might be
counted upon to lend prestige TO bud
luncheons even though she did not fig
ure as the hostess of one of her own.
Her studies will be pursued under
special masters, painting, sketching
music and the languages being the
branches which will receive her espec-
ial attention. The friends of Mrs
Roosevelt say that she will introduce
her daughter to Washington society
though very reluctantly. during Christ
mas week of 1908, aud then only be-
cause she realizes what ii is for a girl
to make her debut in the White House
Miss Roosevelt is only sixteen and
even next winter will be far too young
according to Mrs. Roosevelt's sensible
ideas, to enter the social whirl.

INDIANA BANKS STRONG.
National Bank Examiner Says There
is no Danger of Panic.

Warsaw, Ind, Oct. 26.-"The coun-
try is sound both in it's business and
finances said National Bank Examin-
er W. d. Frazer of Warsaw in discus
sing the financial furry in New York.
The trouble in New York is purely
local, and considering what is involved
it is only small trouble after all,
he continued. "One thing is certain,
all of the national banks of Indiana
are sound and can not be affected by
any kind of a furry or crash in New
York. The Knickerbocker trouble was
merely the result of bad banking by
the officers of that Cne institution.
These men We're gamblers. There is
no significance in the furry. Business
is good. Crops are generous and the
people of the country have confidence
There is no chance for hard times or
a panic"

Pouring of Millions Into the Banks And the
Market Has Had Good Effect.
OF ALL THE MEN OF FINANCE
Runs on the Banks Are Practically Ended--
Carnegie Is Surprised at Small Fall
In Stocks--Another Bank IN -
Brooklyn Suspended.

New York, Oct. 26.-Wall street and
the general public are convinced to-
day that the financial scare is about
over. The pouring of millions into
banks and the market by big finan-
.iers apparently has met with success.
This is the sentiment of all men of
finance. President Washington of
the clearing house said today that the
closing of several small banks yester-
day temporarily was due solely to the
dearth of ready cash and that the
banks are entirely solvent. J. Pier
pont Morgan said things look better.
The fight is practically over. Rookie
felier said the people should leave
their money in the banks, it is safe.
Hartman said the banks of New York
are sound and that the people should
stand by them.
