Prominent Party Leaders Come To-

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Two opposing can
didates for vice president, the leader
of the third party. the daughter and
son-inlaw of President Roosevelt and
the heads of both Democrat and Re-
publican national headquarters were
housed under the same roof at the
Auditorium Annex last night and the
guests of the hotel have voted the man
ager to be a first-class diplomat
The visitors cared for were John W.
Kern, Democratic nominee for vice
president. James S. Sher-
man. Republican nominee for vice
president. Congressman Longworth and
Mrs. Longworth and VIM. R. Hearst,
leader of the Independence League.
When the question of assigning them
to suites came up Manager Kennedy
took down his room plan and said
Give Mr.. Kern the vice presidential
suite; put Mr.. Sherman in the new an

Hearst the midway suite and give the
Longworths the newly fitted suite on

Population of the County Is
Only About $4,000.

Emporia. Kan. Sept 2s-The Ga
Zette says:
The bank statements printed today
indicate that there are s2.500,000 on de-
post in the Lyon county banks. The
records of the banks show that there
are about 5000 depositors in the county.
The population of the county is about
$4,000. There is therefore one account
for each family in the county. There
are no large accounts. A thousand
dollar account is a big account in this
town; so that the $3.50 900, distributed
among about 5000 depositors is fairly
well distributed over the county. Other
counties may have more per capita
than Lyon county. But few communi-
ties on this earth have their savings
and surplus capital SO equitably dis
tributed. Also an examination of the
banks statements indicates that few
communities in this country have their
savings SO securely guarded. The per
cent of money in the Lyon county
banks is extraordinarily large.

SOME BIG LAND SALES.
Real Estate Transactions in Northwest
Kansas Numerous.

Plainville, Sept. 29.-Big real estate
deals are getting to be fashionable so
far as northwest Kansas is concerned.
Among the more recent land transac-
lions was the sale of a 40 acre tract
near Plainville for $4,000 cash.
Another deal, a farm of IT'S acres in
Rocks county sold for $4,000.
The famous Geer ranch of 5000
acres, has been sold to ex-Secretary of
State ]. r. Burrow, ex-lieutenant gov
ernor d. ]. Hanna, E. ]. Williams of
Stockton. and E. H. Lupton of Hoxie,
for a consideration of $4,000. This
tract will be cut into smaller farms
and again put on the market.
Rocks county has raised big wheat
and corn crops this year. Another
drawing card for the county is her
prolific and beautiful Paradise Flats
country, which is one of the most fer
tile and productive sections of north

"An tendency to disease that appears

terberger, ''is to be regarded as here
ditary whether or not the correspond
ing disease can be traced back each
time to parents or ancestors. The ten
dency to consumption is inherited and
may be developed by various agencies.
Numerous autopsies show that every
man over 80 years of age has old re-
mains of tuberculosis infection. THESE
facts show how comparatively easy the
human organism can overcome the

ton for our treatment. the strengthen

dietetic means. We must seek to de-
stroy the tubercle bacillus, but our
chief endeavors must be directed tow

DR.. Julium Bartel of Vienna, discuss
ing the routes of infection, said:
THE infection from pharynx, stom-
ach and intestines is far more frequent,
particularly during early life, than has
generally been considered. OF less i'm
portance as compared with general
hygienic regulations, is the constant
dispute concerning the more frequent
mode of infection whether due to swal-
lowing or inhalation. inasmuch as it is
difficult to judge the relative effects of
deglutition and aspiration"
DR.. Carl Hart, of Berlin, in his views
on the subject of predisposition of the
apices of the lungs to pulmonary tub
erculosis, declared that aside from in
lection the cause of pulmonary tuber-
culosis in youthful individuals is to be
sought in an individual predispos- zion
due to anatomic and functional dis
turbance of the normal conditions

thorax The final outcome of this bat
tie between the tubercle bacili and
the tissues. depends on the degree of
the functional disturbance. he declared.

ing from clinical facts and experiments
on animals drew the conclusion that
tuberculosis Is chiefly transmitted by
aerial germs and by way of respiratory

may serve as a channel of entrance to
tuberculosis, in conditions particular
favorable to contamination, although
this could not be considered a factor of

A FAILURE OF CROPS.
little Raised in Thomas County, But
Much Wheat to Be SoWn.

Brewster, Sept. 29.-Tl1is section of
Thomas county will raise but little
crops this year. In fact it is about as
complete failure as our farmers care
to see. Yet the big wheat raisers are
going to sow quite as large an acreage
as in former years. Our home wheat
buyer, J. P. Horney, who operates his
own private elevator, paid out in Au-
gust over 81, 900 in cash for wheat, and
expects to almost double these figures
in the month of September. His ele-
vator has a capacity of 5000 bushels.
In the midst of partial crop failure
in this vicinity the two political parties
in Thomas county have generously
remembered the town of Brewster by
nominating Republican candidates for
treasurer, probate judge and commits
sioner, while the Democrats nominated
one of their kind for treasurer. Fred
Horney. E. w. Albright and C. E. Ma
lory are the Republican candidates,
and G. w. L. Martin is the Democrat.
All are representative citizens and
business men.
Brewster. town of about 800 pop
ulation, has two newspapers. the Rec
ord and Hustler. If there is another
town in the state that can beat it for
population and newspapers, the people
of Brewster say to trot it out.

The deposits of the state bank run

this bank is good considering the par
tial loss of the crops in this vicinity
Many of the depositors are farmers,
who have unlimited confidence in this
part of Thomas county and northwest
Kansas.
Brewster has two elevators, but ow-
ing to the shortage of crops only one
of them is in operation. The elevator
of J. P. Horney is so conveniently ar
ranged that he can do all the grain
business promptly. His elevator is
good to pattern after.
