OHIO FOR TAFT.
Every County But One Selected Dele
gates in His Favor.

Columbus. o., Feb. 1.-THE net
result of the Republican primaries
held throughout Ohio was in favor of
w Fl. Taft. Four delegates at large,
p district delegates to the national
convention in Chicago and a list of
delegates to the state convention to
be held March 3, which will be in his
favor, were selected.
No opposition worth mentioning
developed during the day.
The supreme court destroyed all
chances of success by the Foraker
element in Cuyahoga county by de-
claring that the Taft county commit
tee was the only valid organization of
this kind in the county and the Sc
lection of delegates went by default,
no ticket being placed in the field
against the Taft candidates. In Knox
county the opposition to Taft had
brought an independent ticket in the
Held, the independents however,
being all Foraker men. The Taft
candidates won easily, the vote being
about four to one in their favor. Ac-
tual voting for delegates to the state
convention was carried on in but 35
counties out of a total of 8S. the Taft
delegates in So counties having no OPP
position Congressional primaries
were held in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth
and part of the Eighth, Ninth.
Twelfth, Fourteenth, Sixteenth, Eigh-
teenth and Twenty-first districts and
in small portions of the Seventh and
Nineteenth. In all but the two last.
where in the voting was in too
limited territory to be decisive, the
Taft people won without opposition.
In the Ninth. Sixth and Sixteenth dis
tricts candidates for congress were
nominated directly at the primaries.

scenic production.


Some dramas die in infancy for lack
how deliberately presented they may be-
they fail to appeal to the public and
soon go on the shelf. But melodrama
like Human Hearts, holds its original
charm. 1t has been seen throughout
the country for the past ten years, yet
there is no decrease in public interest
in this delightful play. 1t contains all
the elements of suocess-pathos,v illainy
and comedy. Besides, the scenic sur
roundings make a picturesque stage
production and that attracts attention.

CARRIED OFF $4,000
Robbers Dynamite and Loot the Bank
at Rich Hill, Mo.

Rich Hill, Mo-, Feb. 12.-Securing
$4,000 in cash after dynamiting and
badly damaging the building of the
Farmers and Manufacturers bank in
this city, five bandits. heavily armed,
terrorized the citizens here at an early
hour this morning, and after exchang-
ing shots with the sheriff's posse,
escaped to the rough country south OF
here. No one was injured.
A terrific explosion caused by the
dynamiting of the vault of the bank
awakened the town half hour after
midnight, and the population hurried
to the two story brick bank building
in the center of the city. Many per-
sons arrived in time to see the robbers
riding away. Some of the citizens
opened fire on the fleeing bandits and
the robbers returned the fire.
Cashier J. w. Jamison said that
SIS, 900 in currency and $4,000 in gold
was taken by the robbers. Three
thousand in silver, all that remained of
the banks cash, was not touched. The
bank carried $4,000 insurance.

Most Roads Making Ready for
Spring Work.
Division Superintendent Now

tenance Work Will Increase.
Other Items Of Interest In
Railway Circles.
BEGIN NEXT MONTH.

Division superintendent of the differ
ent roads in this section Of the country
have begun to take up their plans for
spring work. Notwithstanding the
conditions at present 1t is confidently
expected and almost assured that a
large amount of DCC construction work
Will be started in the spring although it
will probably be a great deal less than
that of year ago.
The different division superintendents
are busily engaged in preparing state
ments which must be forwarded to the
general headquarters of their respec-
tive roads next month Joint meetings
OF the general managers and division
officers will follow and at these meet
ings the work of the coming season
will be discussed. 1t is expected that
a great deal of the new work will be
started by the end of March, provided
Of course that the weather is favorable
Owing to the retrenchment policies
adopted by the different roads last fall,
and the decisions of the officials that
the work must be kept down to a mini
mum along construction lines, reac-
ton is looked for in the spring when
the work Of the track and maintenance
departments will be much heavier.
1t is customary for the railroads to
keep a large portion of the mainten-
ance force busy all winter making nee
essary repairs and minor improvements
along the main lines and in the larger
yards. This was largely done away
with this past season on account Of the
wonderful shrinkage in freight traffic
during November and December. Dur
ing the past month practically no men
have been working in these depart
ments.
With the opening Of spring, however,
traffic is bound to increase. Hence the
necessity of making repairs from time
to time on the tracks will become more
pressing. In some quarters announce
ments have already been made of in
creases in the maintenance and con-
struction forces. Other roads will like
ly follow before spring is here.
Some weeks ago, division superin-
tendents on some of the roads forward
ed hist Of needed improvements to
the general headquarters. Many of
them were then advised that new con-
struction work would not be started for
some time, although they were given
authority to make any minor improve
ments that were absolutely necessary
to care for the business. While auth
ority to make any new improvements
is still lacking estimates on the cost
handle the increased1tonnage which is
expected to be noticeable soon, seem to
indicate that the local roads of Kan
sas will spend considerable money dur
ing the coming year for construction.

MANY PROTESTS RECEIVED.
Roads Want Extension of Line il
Enforcing Nine Hour Law.


Enforcing Nine Hour Law.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Inter
state Commerce commission has been
deluge6 with letters and kilograms for
the past week protesting against the
proposal of the railroads that the
commission suspend the enforcement
of the law providing that railroad
telegraphers shall not be permitted to
work more than nine hours a day.
Since Saturday last 1859 such pro-
tests have been received by the COM
mission in the form of kilograms.
They come from telegraphers en-
pIoyed by the railroads and from
union labor leaders.
The law in question will become
effective March 4. While the commits
sion has made no formal ruling on the
application of the railroads that an
extension shall be allowed, it is I'M
derstood that the members of the
commission are of the opinion that
they have no discretion but to begin
enforcing the law upon the date
named.
A committee of railroad operating
executive officers conferred last week
with President Roosevelt on the
proposition to suspend operation of
the law but he said that he had no
discretion in the matter and referred
the committee to the Interstate Com
MERGE commission. An amendment of
the nine hour clause can only be OBJ
tanned through congress.

of New Western Pacific.

New York, Feb. IA dispatch
from San Francisco states that the
Western Pacific, which is now being
built by the Gould interests from Salt
Lake City, Utah, to San Francisco, is
to use electricity for motive power.
While the statement is somewhat
premature, yet it is the purpose of the
management to use electricity as soon
as practicable.
e. J. Jeffrey, president of the Rio
Grande, said:
1--WE have discussed the question Of
electricity for the Western Pacific
from time to time for a year and a
half or more, but have not yet reached
any definite conclusion. The proba-
bilities are that when we open the
railroad for operation we shall have
steam power. but we shall continue
our studies of the uses and merits Of
electric power, with view to its
adoption in the future

DR.. Livingstone, and later, Henry

contact with possessed beautiful, white,

to the fact that the digestive organs OF
the negro had never been impaired, and
that they were able at all times to take
care of the coarse foods that were Ia
ken into the stomach
The negroes food is of the plaineSt
kind and is seldom if ever cooked. It is
eaten as it is found with but little
preparation.
The cause Of unsound and imperfect
teeth found among civilized people is
due to two important facts-the prev
alence Of dyspepsia, Indigestion and
stomach troubles, and the food we eat.
In the foods that we eat there is
lack of phosphates and other materials
necessary to make repairs and supply
the waste in the teeth.
Then again few people in civilized
countries are free from dyspepsia, which
interferes with the whole system and
causes trouble everywhere.
To have sound teeth, cure your dys-
pepsia and eat proper foods, and you
will have little trouble with them

GUARANTEEING DEPOSITS.

st. Cloud Times: The proposition
to guarantee bank deposits which Is
advocated in the democratic platform
is not without support from eminent
republican authority. Reference to
the hearings which were had in con-
gress last winter before the House
Committee on Banking and Currency
shows that the plank Of guaranteeing
bank deposits was cordially endorsed
by so high a republican financier as
the Hon. Lyman J. Gage, ex-secretary
of the treasury and by the Professor
joseph French Johnson, Dean OF the
New York School of Commerce. r
The committee had under considera-
ton. the Fowler currency bill, one
provision OF which was for guaranty
of bank deposits. Discussing the sub
ject Mr.. Gage, according to the
official report of the hearing, said !:
1.-The stumbling block in the bill to
most everybody, at first blush, IS the
guarantee of deposits. 1t stumbled me.
l fell right down over that, l sa1d,
never, never; no, that can't do: But
I reflected on this. I stand this bill
and, am persuaded that it is just,
equitable, wise and right that the
creditors of the banks which come
under the provision of this bill should
have their deposits guaranteed to
them as will be the banks circulating
notes held by the general public.
There is no difference IN principle.

Norman E. Mack, chairman dem

Dear Sir II have seen the threat of
the Sharples Separator company to
close down their shops in the event of
Mr.. Bryan's election. We, as the
largest manufacturers of cream
separators in the United States, will
agree in the event of the election of
Mr.. Bryan and the threat of the
Sharples company being put into
effect, to take the men into our en-
ploy. In view of the fact that the
finished product of the steel trust is
the raw material of separator
factory, and under the present tariff
the steel trust is permitted to charge
us so per cent more, and does charge
us so per cent more than we could
purchase in the worlds market, the
Sharples company must: be talking as
shareholders in the United States Steel
Corporation rather than as separator
manufacturers.

Springfield Republican, Taft sup:
porter: Judge Taft ought to retire
one of his arguments on behalf of the
republican ticket, which he is making
more extended use of as the campaign
nears an end. This is the contention,
as made yesterday in one OF his New
JERSEY speeches, that a choice between
the republican and democratic tickets
is choice between immediate re-
sumption of prosperity and continued
depression through the next four
years. That might sound very we'll
now, as it has sounded well IN repub-
llcan campaigns of the last 30 years.
but for the fact that we have had
extreme panic and depression under
full republican auspices, and this fact
simply makes the contention ridiculous
for further use. It is better calcul-
ated to make voters smile than to win
their sufrages.
