Again at Cost Of $5,000,000.

Cleveland, Ohio Especially John
D. Rockefeller will live to be more
than ninety-four, said DR.. Biggar,
his family physician. He is the
best trained athlete in the sixty-year-
old class in the world today.
"Mr. Rockefeller has been born
twice physically, and he is only
fourteen years old now. He is grow
ing up again scientifically, adding
to his muscle, to his lungs, to his
heart power with every breath of
fresh air he takes on Forest Hill
and with every drive he makes with
the golf club"
And it cost Mr.. Rockefeller So
100000 for this second life. These
are his own words. It happened in
this wise. according to DIR. Biggar:
Mr.. Rockefeller came to Cleve-
land in 1898 in the middle Of the
panic period, completely broken in
health and spirit.
Doctor, I'm sick. I'm afraid I'm
going to die. But it is not on ac-

of Trade says
Jobbing trade in fall and winter
goods is active at the leading cities,
country merchants being In large at
tendance and operating freely as
rule. Retail sales of seasonable
merchandise are liberal, although at
some points customary midsummer
quiet is noted. While payments are
somewhat irregular, mercantile col
lections show distinct Improvement
on the whole few labor disputes
are pending, but there is little in
terruption In the leading industries,
most manufacturing plants working
full time and holding orders that
promise continued activity. Com
modify prices are lower. especially
In cases where speculative initiation
existed. New business In the iron
and steel industry is light and some
quotations of pig iron are lower,
but wire and wire products have be-
come firmer, and many steel mills
are sold well into next year.
Textile mills are well occupied, ex-
cept where the strike has interrupt
ed the silk industry in Pennsylvania.
The cotton goods situation is feature

extensive purchases of the past few
months and the process of assimila-

And he asked the doctor to help
him. After few days of close
study, DR.. Biggar went to Mr.
Rockefeller with this prescription:

DEFY THE POLICE.
Flags Kept Flying In Spite OF City
Ordinance.


Logansport. Ind Especial )-When
Corporal Murtaugh, of Indianapolis,
was placed in charge of the United
States marine recruiting station here
he hung out a United States flag
from a second story window A city
ordinance prohibits banners of any
description from being displayed
over streets, so Chief of Police Gra-
ham ordered Murtaugh to take down
the flag, and is alleged to have
threatened to haul 1t in himself.
Murtaugh, with a six-shooter, put
himself in the chiefs way, telling
him to leave the flag alone or he
would be shot. Graham retired,
Civil War veterans endeavored to
gather a force to mob Graham.
An army recruiting Office across
the street, in charge of Capt. Elijah
Martindale, unfurled another flag as
a dare. Both offices remain in charge
of armed men, ready to shoot.
The police chief is a son of a G..
A. r. veteran. A report of the in
cident was telegraphed to the de-
partment at Washington, which tele-
graphed back an order to Murtaugh
to keep the flag flying The mini

authority a flag hoisted in federal

Paris tBy Cable) Now that
Prime Minister Clemenceau and
General Picquart, the Minister OF
War, have been riding around IN
the new military airship Patrie, one
realizes that the dreams OF Jules
Verne have been realized and that
the poetic prophesy of Tennyson
written many years ago OF airy
navies dropping a CHASTITY dew up
on the earth below will soon be a
matter of fact and not a mere hs-
ment of a poets Imagination.
To make the thing clear to those
at home, the recent maneuvers OF
the military airships demonstrating
the fact that II can carry number
of people. to be duplicated In the
United States, would mean that Sec
retary Taft and Secretary Root would
find it both safe and feasible to go
for a sail around the Washington
Monument from the grounds OF
Fort Meyer, beyond Georgetown, d.
c., or that things we're in such a
shape in the United States that
President Roosevelt would sail from
Oyster Bay to New York on one OF
the War Departments new engines
of death.
The fact is that the day of the
airship is so assuredly at hand that

Winnebago County, about 10 miles
southwest of Albert Lea, and one

From Winona a special report
says that 20 or more buildings used
for manufacturing purposes and for
warehouses were unroofed. The
town was IN darkness at night ow-
ing to wires being down, and no
street cars were operated until late

blocked by fallen trees.
The damage was done by a
straight blow. The rain came down

ing overfiowed from the water which
ran over the curbing. Winona has
had several hard blows in the past,
but never any that lasted so long
as this, or which did so much dam
age.
All wire mmunication east and
south has been cut off entirely since
the storm. Railroad traffic east of
there is suspended owing to wash

Green Bay passenger train No g.,
which left Winona at O'Clock p.

three-quarters of mile east of
Winona. The train had been halted

up by the wind, carried a distance
of eight feet and toppled over an

The vote on the proposal stood 8
to in favor of It. Eleven delegates
ebstained from voting. France head

the best course would be to simplv
spply the rules already existing on
Dombardment and the use OF mines.
Germany shared in this view.
A second proposal forbidding the
dropping OF projectiles on undefend-
ed towns and villages or the dIa-
charge of deleterious gases thereon
put permitting the dropping of pro.
