formal demand to see his daughter.
When Corey refused to allow the inter-

Mr.. Gilman told him exactly what he
thought OF him, accused him OF going TO
unusual ends TO induce his wife TO repu-

The conversation, which was mostly
one-sided, lasted more than ten minutes.

THREE AUTOISTS IN
COURT FOR SPEEDING

Three automobile operators were in the
district court this morning TO answer TO
complaints OF overspeeding their machines
as result OF renewed activity of the
police TO round up offenders.
George Hoyle pleaded guilty to the
charge II was said that he went over
the measured section on Broad street at
the rate OF 20 miles an hour.
His attorney said that at the time the
speedometer had given out that Hoyle had
shut Off his power and was coastng, as
he could tell at what speed he might
travel with the power on.
He said that Mr.. Hoyle is chauffeur for
Mr. Briefly of the Allen Fire Department
Supply company and had been hired. as
he was known TO be a careful operator.
Judge Lee said the explanation was like
what they all made and fined him $50 and
costs.
Stacy T. Lyon, II years old, was fined
500 and costs for speeding over the same
course for 20 miles an hour. His excuse
that he did not know he was travelling
so fast did not go with the court.
Rupert A. Dickey, 20 years old. pleaded
not guilty to over speeding on the Broad
street coarse and he gave surety in $500
TO appear for trial on Tuesday. DR..
Keefe was his bondsman.

PRESIDENT PLANS
A GOOD BEAR HUNT

New Orleans, Sept 27-Presldent Roosc-
Welt will have a good bear hunt In North
east Louisiana next month. II painstaking
preparation can produce such sport. For
weeks past the sWamps In which the pres
ident will hunt have been so well guarded
that even the sound OF a gunshot has not
disturbed the swamp animals.
Two OF the swiftest and best trained
bear dogs In the south have been secured
from the Kentucky farm OF Norvin T
Harris for use In the pack which the
president will follow. The presence OF
the best dogs obtainable is necessary be-
cause in October Louisiana bears are
usually lean and consequently give the
hunt n swift run. Another valuable ac-
QUESTION for the hunting outfit Is the

best hunting horses In the south.

undoubtedly will attract more attention
than a contrivance from this city which

James M. Baker. who for his hobby

men.
Mr. Bakers last product In this line is
what he terms stand pipe" and the
Idea is 10 have n pipe that can be ham
dleo easily. This pipe is fitted TO carry
two lines OF hose from a steamer. and
the apparatus Itself can be handled by
one man. and when ready for action a
child can handle the pipe Ordinarily II
requires two strong men TO handle a pipe
from single stream from a steamer or
from tho high pressure service. There
are two inlets TO Mr. Bakers machine,
and the water then goes through a cham
Der about II inches long and from there
into two outlets into the pipe, and u Is
the force of tho two streams, one against
the other. at both the inlet and outlet
that does away with strain on the pipe
and hose and at the same time does not
reduce the pressure Of the water at the
nozzle OF the pipe.
The apparatus II laid on the ground or
noOr. and stream can be played at any
angle except down. and as Mr.. Baker
demonstrated yesterday to some OF the
local fire department. "a child 20 years
old" could handle II with the Utmost
ease Mr.. Baker also showed that any
leneth-of ordinary hose -eo-id-br attach
ed to the apparatus and the handling of
the pipe would be the same. He has also
invented a cellar pipe on the same prin-
cipie. and Il IL operated with a lever, the
pipe being placed I'm an opening In the
floor. and with the lever water can be
thrown I'm every direction.

The Allen Fountain Bath Brush.

So rapidly do the new things come to
relieve our ever-existing necessities that
it seems but yesterday that the old-style
scrub brush, which the Allen Fountain
Brush has so undeniably supplanted,
had its day. Without protest or COM
plant cleanly people have scrubbed
their bodies and merely washed off the
accumulations as china plate is clean
ed. There was no better way outside
of the expensive and not always con-
venient Turkish Bath until the inven .
ton of the Allen Fountain Brush, the
only sanitary and seif-cIeansing bath
brush. Continuous flushing of the bris-
ties with pure. clean water that flows
thru the brush while in use prevents
contamination and accumulation of dirt
and impurities.
The Allen Fountain Brush is the only
bath brush possessing the three in
one" essential functions of the perfect
bath-namely, friction, shower and
massag age-individually or collectively It
is the only bath brush which at one
operation opens the pores, thoroly
cleanses the skin, imparting a healthy
tone and glow and puts one in condi-
ton to resist colds, la grippe and all
contagious and infectious diseases. Its
regular use promotes clear complexion,
bright eyes. cheerful spirits and sound,
refreshing sleep. Read their announce

Canister shot was always made for the

extent. The Confederates used in

which they drove back upon the infan-
try, and the battle began. Slocum ad-
vanced his brigade thru Burkittsville
to attack on the right of the road, which
seemed to offer the best prospect.
Ayres's Battery was posted on the
nights, where 1t had a fine chance at
the enemy's guns, and did most effec-
tive service. Smiths Division went into
position east of Burkittsville as reserve,
and Brooks's Brigade was sent to the
left of the road to occupy the attention
of the enemy in that quarter, and make
an attack if circumstances favored.
After developing the enemy the skir-
mishers were withdrawn, and Col. Bart
lett advanced his brigade in line of bat
tie, supported by the brigades of New
ton and Torbert. A severe engagement
ensued, during which time Newtons
and Torberts Brigades came up into
line with Bartlett, and a charge of the
whole line was ordered. The men, who
had become weary of the musketry,
anticipated this order with shouts, and
rushed forward over the rough ground.
scaling the stone wall, and dislodging
the enemy from every portion of the
line, pursued him clear over the crest.
Gen. Brooks caught the infection. and
swept forward on the left with Slo-
Gums line, carrying everything before
him. The victory was complete and so
quickly won that the reserve which
Cobb was hurrying UP only arrived in
time to mingle in the fight and add
confusion to the rush to the rear. Some
400 prisoners were captured from II
