AGAINST STATE PROHIBITION.
Governor of Alabama Will Aid Leg.
isIIturc to Vote State Dry.

Montgomery. Ala, Nov. 2.-Tbe
state administration will not give
voluntary aid to a state prohibition
bill, says the Advertiser. The prohi-
bitiOn leaders of Alabama know that
the Governor and his political advis-
ers who were prominent in the cam
paign will not lend any assistance to
the movement to have the Legisla-
ture take up and pass the general
prohibition bill.
1t is an open secret that the anti
saloon leaders have been told this.
But whether the Governors negative

that the state will do what is right.

litigation, which will result in no
good to them or the people, and let
us all await results until the next
meeting of the general assembly"
If some of our business men
would stop trying to persuade NE to
violate the law passed by the Iegis-
lature," the governor added. which
under my oath it is my duty to main
tain. and which l have no right to
alter or appeal, and will turn their
persuasive powers and influences to-
ward inducing the railroads TO obey
the law as passed. until it has had a
fair trial. they would be doing
much greater service TO their state. D"

English is Good Enough.

The English language is pretty
we'll liked, and to some extent service
able, as it is-as Shakespeare mis-
spelled it, and Milton versed it, and
Pope and Swift and Addison and
Goldsmith refined it, and, in fact, as
all our long line of literary geniuses
have philosophical and sermonized
and romanced and word-painted in it..
And the Englishman, unfamiliar or
but slightly familiar with any save
his native tongue, may well wonder,
as he contemplates the great body of
English literature, whether there is
another so strong and at the same
time SO flexible. Surely any move
ment which even remotely threatens
to impair it's strength and lessen it's
f1exibility should be approached with
thoughtful hesitation. 1t would, in
deed, be a sad whiting down from
the big to the little should simplified
spelling finally lead to simplified
rhetoric, and simplified rhetoric re-
suit in desiccated prose and potted
theory. y.-Washington Herald.

Fair Year Fairly Beaten.

In July, 1905, the Lewis and Clark
Fair was in the height of its glory
Our streets were thronged with thou
sands of visitors from all over the
United States. Every hotel and lodg-
ing house was crowded, and new
buildings were going up on every
hand. This unparalleled activity,
while pleasing in the extreme, could
not disperse the gloom from a large
number of pessimists, who feared the
slump after the fair" But more
than a year has passed since the fair
was at the zenith of it's success, and
nine months have passed since it's
doors were closed forever, and what
is the result? Bank clearings for
July, 1906, more than $4,000, 900
greater than for the same month last
year, and building permits for May,
June and July-the months when,
last year, buildings was at it's height
this year $1,36S,000 greater than
for the same three months in 1905.
These glowing facts may be distress
ing for the pessimists, but it should
be remembered that Portland has
been no place for pessimist for the
past two years. Portland Oregonian.

NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

"My food was killing me and
didn't know the cause, writes Colo,
young lady: For two years l was
thin and sickly, suffering from indi-
gestion and inflammatory rheuma-
tism.
II had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living and many of the reme-
dies recommended, but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that l try Grape
Nuts, and began at once, eating 1t
with a little cream or milk. A
change for the better began at once.
To-day l am well and am gaining

never tire of it," Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
The favor of Grape-Nuts is pecu-
liar to itself. 1t is neutral, not too
sweet and has an agreeable, healthful
quality that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts Is taken regu-
larly. digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and Of carrying
away the excess of disease-maklng
material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. There's a reason" Read

Britain and Boer.

The London Spectator recently said
that until it took Great Britain near
ly three years and the whole power
of the empire to subdue the Beers,
Englishmen could never quite under
stand why it took so many years and
so many men for the North to con-
quer the South, but that now they
understand. The New York Tribune
hints that we may also have showed
the way for settlement of the Brit
lsh-Boer status which is agitating the
country now. 1t says:
''The great question now agitating
England, that of the status of Boer
and Briton in the Transvaal, is, of
course, one for Great Britain to set
tie. If a striking precedent is wanted
much might be learned from the
American policy of magnanimity
which, after some serious mistakes in
the reconstruction period, has at last
obliterated sectional lines between
North and South and resulted in a
happily reunited people"

knowledge that the water supply
was responsible for the epidemic
came as a shock to the city. Scran-
ton had long prided itself on the pur-
ity of its water, but the prevalence
of typhoid in sections supplied from
the Elmhurst dam soon attracted
suspicion, and this suspicion became
a certainty, when DR.. Dixon, Penn
sylvania's IS Health Commissioner, an
nounced that an analysis of water
taken from Roaring Brook gave evil
dence of typhoid bacilli.
Roaring Brook empties into the
Elmhurst dam. Water supplied from
other reservoirs owned by the Scran-
ton Gas and Water Company is free
from germs.
For a time the daily number of
new cases reported has averaged fifty.
1t is hoped the energetic and untiring
local and State health authorities are
beginning to show their effects
against the epidemic.
Owing to the rapidly increasing
number of cases in the last week, it
was decided to fit up the armory of
the Thirteenth Regiment as an emer-
gency hospital. Thus far the regular
hospitals have been able to accommo-

Hospital in the armory will be ready

Orders for boiling drinking water
and milk are strictly enforced, and
there is regular distribution of dis

Mrs. James P. Dickson, daughter-in-
law of the late Thomas Dickson,
president of the Delaware and Hud-
son Railroad, has placed herself at

Four large public hospitals are
filled to their capacity, and at least
a dozen private sanitariums are
crowded with patients suffering from
the disease. Physicians and nurses
are working until they are utterly
exhausted, and several of them have
succumbed to the fever.
1t has remained for Wilkesbarre
to take the first strenuous measures

RUSSIAN POLICE Chief SLAIN
Gen. Launitz, Prefect Of ST. Pet
ershurg, Assassinated.
Murderer Killed With a Sword by
Victims Aide-Dead Official an
Qppressor of Revolutionaires.

st. Petersburg, Russia. - General
von der Launitz, prefect of police of
st. Petersburg, was assassinated at
uoon. He was present in his official
capacity at the Inauguration of the
new hospital for skin diseases on
Lopuchinskaia street, which was
opened by the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess Oldenburg.
After the service in the chapel of
the hospital General Launitz was, es-
corting the Duke and Duchess to-
ward the door when a we'll dressed
young man fired two revolver shots,
both piercing the projects brain He
died on the spot.
An officer seized the assassin's re-
volver and the Grand Dukes aide
drew his sword and ran the murderer
through the body, killing him. Two
bystanders were arrested.
General Launitz was formerly
Governor of Tsmboff, where he dealt
severely with the revolutionaires 1t
is believed the assassin came from
Tamboff.
Won der LaunitZ as prefect of po-
lice of st. Petersburg was practically
the absolute ruler of the Russian
capital. The dissolution of the ma
tional Duma left him with this high
authority, of which he made full use.
In the last days of last year de-
tached squad of secret police arrested
nearly 900 persons charged with un-
due activity in revolutionary matters
and political agitation. Thirty-three
of the prisoners were women, whose
language on certain occasions had
brought them to the notice of the po-
lice.
The murder of Won der Launitz
prefect of police in st. Petersburg
by a Terrorist shows how unreal is
the apparent quiet in Russia. The
Government has taken the severest
measures to suppress rebellion. A
state of siege prevails throughout
most. of the provinces, drum-head
trials still rule, the administrative
processes of Imprisonment and exile
have suffered little interruption, but
the spirit of the Terrorist organiza.
tion never dies. Government absolu.
tism only fans it into fresh outbursts
of crime.
