The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation of hui
man life is many years below the attain
ment possible with the advanced know
ledge of which the race is now possessed.
The critical period, that determines Its
duration, seems to be between 80 and 60;
the proper care of the body during this
decade cannot be too strongly urged;
carelessnsss then being fatal to longevi-
ty. Natures best helper after 80 is Elec-
trio Bitters, the scientific tonic medicine
that revitalizes every organ of the body.

RIVER MADE HIM INSURE.
Got Tired Of Falling Into Water and
SOUGHT Protection.

One of our men selling insurance
tells of An instance where special
manifestation and a moving OF the
spirit and the flesh were necessary to
make a New Madrid man take out a
policy, says an insurance man in the
st. Louis Post Dispatch. He had a
place on the river bank below the
town. His little shack was perched
on bluff which jutted far out over
the water. There had been a good
many landslides down there. caused
by the disintegration of the bank. The
agent sighted the shack the first thing
when he made the town and that after
noon he went up there to talk bust
ness. There was nothing doing. The
old fellow was fatalist and he didn't
believe in insurance. q go as the
spirit moves me-" he said, solemnly.
The agent was persistent. You might
fall in the river some day" he said.
We'll, l tell you all, honey, l amt
never fell in yet When I've done fell
In you can come around and see me-
Five months later the agent made the
town again. He sighted the shack,
but it wasn't where 1t had been. 1t
was a mile or so back from the bluff.
But the man who lived there was wait
Ing at the ang-plank. He grabbed the
agents hand and said: Il thought
maybe you was on the boat and l
came down to wait for you all" After
an awkward pause he added: Il guess
maybe I'll take that policy. I've done
fell in three times. You'd better put
a policy on the shack, too. I'm tired

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP NOT AN ISSUE.

As the campaign approaches it becomes
more and more evident that Of the eco
nomic questions, three-the trust ques'
ton, the tariff question and the rail
road question will share public attention,
and these three really present the same
issue between the general public and the
privileged classes. Shall the govern
ment be administered in the interest of
the whole people or in the interest OF a
fewt This is the issue presented by the
trust question, the tariff question and
the railroad question.
Government ownership il not an i'm
mediate issue. A large majority Of the
people still hope for effective regulation,
and while they 50 hope, they will not
consider ownership. While many de-
mocrats believe-and Mr. Bryan il one
OF the pumber-that public ownership
offers the ultimate solution Of the prob.
lem, still, those who believe that the pub
lie will finally in self defense be driven
TO ownership, recognize that regulation
must be tried under the most favorable
circumstances before the masses will be
ready to try more radical remedy.
Regulation can not be sufficiently
tried within the next year, and there is
no desire anywhere to make ownership
an issue in 1908. Mr.. Bryan fully agrees
with those who believe that it would be
unwise to turn attention from regula
tion, on which the people are ready to
act, 10 government ownership, upon

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,

unless the inflammation can be taken out

Quality OF TrustWorthiness.

People would try harder for trust
worthiness if they knew how lovable a
quality it is. When you know you can
rely upon anyone, that whatever they
undertake to do will be done, that you
can really pass over share of your
load to them, you cannot help liking
them. On the other hand, It does not
matter how amiable men be, II they
are forgetful. II they are unpunctual
II they habitually neglect, they be-

ones liking is apt to die out.-W. Il.

The interstate commerce commission pro-
poses to secure a stable basis for ascertain

forts o. the commission to eventually have
the railroads adopt a uniform system of
keeping accounts, and unless there is uni
formity in ascertaining depreciation that
cannot be done. This information is also
essential in allowing the commission to de-
termine reasonable rates.
When the commission decided to make
the investigation II made up its mind to
obtain expert assistance, and accordingly
created a committee on depreciation, com
posed of Prof. Henry c. Adams. an en-
ploye of the commission: President Delano

President Knuttschntt of the Southern Pa

Mr. Delano was selected because of his

Reported That Gov. Cummins Has
Presidents Offer.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
hEOkUK, Iowa, October 1T is re-
ported here on excellent authority that
during his recent visit to this city Presi-
dent Roosevelt definitely offered to appoint
Gov. Cummins to be Attorney General in
his cabinet in place of Attorney General
Bonaparte. who it has been reported many
times, intends to retire from the cabin I
as soon as the President has fixed upon
a suitable successor. 1t is understood that
the offer of the President to appoint Gov.
Cummins to his official family was made
with view to eliminating opposition to
the reelection of Senator Alison from
that state.
The proposition. it was said. was care
fully gone over by the President and Rep
resentative Hepburn shortly after Mr. Hep
burns return from Washington. Whether
Gov. Cummins will accept the proposition
is problematical. His friends are Incins d
to think 1t very doubtful, as the President
who will succeed Mr.. Roosevelt might not
wish to retain him Attorney General.
The governors faction seems now to
be in control of the state of Iowa, and
will probably be abe to elect Warren
Garst governor. and. If he wishes it, in
sure Gov. Cummins an election to the
United States Senate II Mr.. Allison should
retire.

SCRIMMAGE FOR PROXIES.
Hartman and Fish Working Hard for
the I. c. Control.

IAS L. ~. SouIIO1
Special Dispatch to The Star
CHICAGO, October 4-Agents Of E. Fl.
Hartman and Stuyvesant Fish are search
ing the country for proxies for use at the
Illinois Centra.'s annual meeting here Octo-
Der 16, when the fight for control of the
road will be decided. Shareholders, big and
little, are being sought out and argued
over to one side or the other. Even the
man owning one, two or three shares Of
stock is considered important enough to go
after with the strongest sort of argument
and appeal
In the scrimmage for proxies Fish and
his party are busiest, but the Hartman
following is not overlooking any proxies
they possibly can obtain Evidence of this
developed yesterday when a representative
of the Hartman party waited upon the
Rev Dr. Newman Smyth, a New Haven,
Conn, minister, who owns three shares of
Illinois Central stock.
The Hartman representative told Dr.
Smyth that he was going after every share
holder in Connecticut, but he failed to get
the minister's proxy. DR.. Smyth let him
understand tat his sympathes were with
Fish.
The action of Hartford shareholders in
siding with Fish has already been made
public.
The Hartman party had better luck in
Massachusetts. r. c. Longenecker Mr..
Harrimans representative in Worcester,
announced that he had secured proxies for
most of the stock held in that city. MIR.
Longenecker said that all through MaSsa-
chusetts he finds majority of the proxies
favor Hartman. The desperate scrmmage
for proxies is only beginning. Between now
and october IL every Illinois Central Share
holder in the country will be looked up and
won over to one or the other of the con-
tending parties.

After hearing the answer of the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company and
the argument of counsel in the suit for
injunction recently instituted against the
company by Samuel Wasserman. a hotel
solicitor to restrain the company from
fusing to allow him passage their
steamers, Chief Justice Clabaugh today dis
missed the rule recently issued against the
company.

Company by Attorneys Alex Britton, AL
dis b. Browne and Evans Browne, ad-
mitted that passage on its boats had been
denied MI Wasserman, but only after
peated violations. 1t declares, of its rea-
soma BILE rule against soliciting on its boats.
Owing to frequent complaints from Its
passengers of persons annoying them with
requests to stop at this hotel or that.
the company says, il posted conspicuously
a notice that no soliciting would be toler-
ated and authorized its captains and en-
ployes to enforce the rule against every
one detected in such occupa ton.
The company denies the allegation of the
bill that its rule was adopted for the benefit
of a solicitor named Sweet and informs the
court that it does not permit him or any
one else to solicit on its steamers.
