MAXWELL AGENTS
GET GLAD HAND
Thomas Tells Tale of Hair
Raising Trip to
Boston.

Thomas & Tolman were getting the
glad hand from all quarters this morn
ing over the showing of the Maxwell
in the record-breaking run from Wash
ington 70 Boston.
While the reports which reached here
last evening stated that the car had
made the run in twenty-elght hours.
thereby smashing the record, the fun
details forwarded by J. r. Thomas in
dictate that the Maxwell did even bet
ter work than the figures show.
The actual running time was TWEEN
ty-two hours. the time taken out be-
ing for accidents. Mr. Thomas ac-
count Of the run follows:
I'VE made good time to Baltimore
despite the heavy dust and rough
stretches at points along the road. Be
tween Baltimore and Bel Air We vast
ed an hour by getting oil in the mag
neto. Another half hour went by the
board waiting at Havre de Grace for
the ferry.
Odds Against Them.
Everything seemed 10 be oonspiring
to put us out Of the game When we
reached Philadelphia we found that the
extra tires and rims which had been
ordered from washington before tho
start had not arrived and we spent
some more valuable time in changing
tires, as we had four blow outs on the
trip. Insufficient preparations was re-
sponslhle for this delay and had we had
more time for preparation we could
have had these details arranged 50 that
we could have gone straight through.
But tho proposition was only sprung on
US d few hours before we started out
"Our real hoodoo cropped out near
New Haven While Kelsey was driV-
ing at high speed we skidded IN deep
sand. slid forty feet. and turned. Meth
er Of US was nurt. but the steering gear
and front axle were badly bent. We
lost four hours in getting the car IN
shape, but decided TO finish the run
After cranking the motor the car seem

reached the Maxwell agency IN Boston

A Lazy Liver

liver. 1t would be stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
In treating the tagging, torpid liver 1t is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs OF digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and sec how
quickly your liver will become active.

has made many marvellous cures Of silver
trouble by its wonderful control OF the
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,

There are rumors that strong
company is being organized, back
ed by the Standard Oil, to enter
the smelling field and buck the
American Smelling & Refining
company. The new concern likely
will afford the mining fraternity
some relief from the unfair treat
ment now received from the trust
but how long the competition will
last is a question. If the Standard
Oil people follow the same prac-
tices they adopted in building up
the monster oil trust their scheme
will be to absorb the present smell
ter trust and make it more power
full than it now is. However, if a
fight is made against the American
Smelling & Refining company, in
order to win ground the Standard
Oil company will have to show
their patrons some consideration
for while at least, which is more
than has been received or can be
expected from the trust now con-
trolling the smelling industry.

An important decision, of par

been handed down by the supreme
court of Kansas. This was in the
case of Attorney General G. G.
Coleman, who felt that he had
been libeled by the Topeka State
Journal in connection with coun-
ty bond deal when he was running
for reelection. Coleman lost the
suit in the district court and took
an appeal. The supreme court in
affirming the decision of the lower
court, says:
"If the publisher Of a newspaper
circulated throughout the state
publishes an article reciting facts
and making comment relative to
the official conduct and character
of state officer who is a candidate
for reelection for the sole purpose
of giving to the people of the state
what he honestly believes 10 be
true information, and for the sole
purpose of enabling the voters to
cast their ballot more intelligently,
and the whole thing is done in

ileged, although the matters con-
