SHORTER DAYS
FROM NOW ON
This the Season When the
Frost is on the Pump
kin, Etc.

The changed position Of the earth,
called the procession Of the equinoxes,
which according TO astronomers began
on Wednesday, is really the forerunner
of the approaching winter and from
now on the days will begin to grow
shorter and the lamp will have to be
lighted at o'clock and the early riser
will have to dress by lamp light and
the different atmosphere will recall that
out in the country the frost is on the
pumpkin.
Though the coming Of the equinoc-
tial season Is supposed TO bring with
it severe storms, there was no indica-
tion today that a storm was within
several thousand miles Of this city.
There was not even an indication that
the earth had changed its position and
unless some one told you about H.,
you, would think that this sphere was
acting as it had acted right along
for the past several million years, more
or less.
Whether there is anything che mat
ter with the machinery that keeps this
planet in running order or whether the
matter Of a storm accompanying the
changes in the earth's position Is a
myth, is not known. One thing GER
tain is that the change viii bring In
the alienation OF the seasons. and the
short days Of winter may now be ex-
pected.
The dry spell that is prevalent
throughout the country will not be
broken for several days longer. the
weather seers say. for the conditions
as observed do not promise rain. II
is at least 40 days since rain fell and
the country is suffering extremely.

FIREMEN WERE
IN A QUANDERY

Gas generated in a stove in Thomas
j. Johnson's house at No. 327 East
Thirteenth street yesterday afternoon,
exploded and. blowing off the lids,
filled the house with smoke. At pre-
cisely the same moment an accident
of exactly the same kind and same re-
suits occurred in william H. Tills
home, at No. Ala East Twelfth street,
two blocks away. Both men ran "a
the same fire alarm box, No. 113. at
Thirteenth and Lombard streets. and
when the district engines responded
each tried TO persuade the firemen to
go to his house first.
The firemen divided their forces, but
were not needed. as the two houses
were merely filled with smoke and
there was no fire except that in the
stoves.

Haskells statement follows:
President Roosevelt's letter is befors
me and while this is the first time in
my life 1 have been made the subject
of cabinet meeting, I am thankful for
the distinction and I wish to explain
my high regard for the Office Of Presi-
dent and my profound respect for the
wisdom of our fathers in making II
possible to change the occupant of that
high Office every four years without
the right granted to a crown prince To
succeed the king.
Il assert it is fair for me to assume
If my case was to be dignified by an
all day cabinet meeting. that, by the
decision of Mr. Hearst and his cam
paign associate. Mr.. Roosevelt, left nc
stone unturned TO blaoken my char
acter. Ohio has been ranked fore and
aft concerning the Ohio Standard oil
cases Of 1893 and. finding absolutely
nothing rejecting on ME the President
tried to wave his charge of last Nor
day aside by saying he will make no
allusion to that. He drops this SUBJ
ject because his original statement was
untruthful
Il say now that the President knows
now that my statement is true and
regret that he tries to brush il aside
without doing me candid justice. Were

commonly used by the President.
would spell it in fewer letters than
'falsehood.'
"Mr. Roosevelt, I hope to speak In

Of the Prairie Oil and Gas Company

is an offspring of the Standard Ci
Company. 1 charge the political al.
lies, Hearst and Roosevelt, both know
that I acted properly. First the Prairie
/ Oil Company got its franchise in oui

velt's Secretary of tha Interior, Ions
before statehood began and had it
main line built and operating. AM
Congress in our statehood bill wa
careful to declare that our new Stat
must respect all such vested rights an,
existing franchises. That was all

Line franchise in our then helpless ter
ritory and then fasten it in our ney

VIII Mr.. Hearst or the President pleas
answer.
knowing all these things the presi
dent must pardon us for taking thi
issue with the occupant of the higl
office we all respect
Let US hope that in the future n
will appreciate and preserve its dig

Occasional attacks Of backache, ir-

toms of dropsy-puffy swellings below
the eyes, bloating of limbs and ankles,
or any part Of the body. don't delay a
minute. Begin taking Doan's Kidney
Pills, and keep up the treatment until
the kidneys are well, when your old
time health and vigor will return.
Cures in Wilmington prove the effec-
tiveness OF this great kidney remedy.
