The Observer presses have just
turned off the last OF the June election
ballots for Polk county, and Sheriff
Grant will distribute them among the
various voting precincts early next
week. The ballot is about the size of
an ordinary horse blanket, and the
average voter will be inclined to throw
up his hands In desperation when 1t Is
handed to him at the voting booth a
week from next Monday. Besides the
names OF state, district aud county
officers, the big sheet contains all OF
the proposed laws and constitutional
amendments, nineteen in number To
help the voter to become familiar with
the form OF the ballot, and to aid him
ia studying the various laws pro-
posed, the Observer has printed at It's
own expense large number of colored
or sample ballots for distribution
among the voters. As many voters
would not otherwise have an oppor-
tunity to see ballot before the morn
Ing OF election day, we have done this
printing gratultously. believing that
many citizens will desire sample to
take home and study. Call at the
office at any time and you will be well
come to ballot.

SACRIFICES HER
LIFE FOR OTHERS
Tenement Resident Carries Ex.
p|oding Stove to Street.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Mary Farrell
a seamstress, is dying in Roosevelt
hospital, having sacrificed her life in
a successful effort to save the lives
Of the scores of people who with her
occupied a tenement house in West
Forty-thfrd street. While Miss Far.
rell, who lived alone on the top floor
of the building, was preparing a meal
an oil stove on which she was cooking
exploded. Fearing the house would
catch fire from the burning stove Miss
Farrell seized it in her arms and hur-
ried down the front stairs of the build
ing, crying out to the occupants of the
other rooms to close their doors and
give her and her blazing burden a
clear passageway. Although her light
dress caught fire and the flames eat
their way into her flesh she did not
hesitate. But at the bottom of the
second flight of stairs her foot caught
in her skirt and she fell on the top
of her fiery burden. She was dragged
away from the burning stove, but it
was too late, for the hospital surgeon
who responded to call pronounced
her injuries fatal. Firemen extin-
guished the fire after small damage
had been done the house.
The revival Of business IS quickened
as the conviction grows that the cleo
ton of Taft and Sherman is assured.

Pcstoffice Department Adopts New
Rule for Carrying Mali.
Chicago, Oct 28-A million dollars
a year in revenue will be lost to the
railroads who are engaged in the
transportation of United States mail
as a result of new order governing
ethe methods of calculating the COM
rensation to be paid the roads, which
has just been issued by the postoffice
department.
It was announced that Joseph Stew
art, second assistant postmaster gen.
eral, has issued a notification to the
New York Central and the Lake Shore
roads that the rates for carrying the
mails between Chicago and New York
will hereafter be based upon the short
line mileage between the cities. AS
the Lake Shore-New York Central
route is some thirty or forty miles
longer than that of the Pennsylvania
fastest trains, which run 905 miles,
the compensation paid to the New
York Central lines will be reduced
$4,000 a year, or the contract for
handling the mail will be turned over
to the Pennsylvania. The latter now
handles much of the mail from the
South, while the Lake Shore gets that
from Chicago and the North
The reduction applies over the four
year period for which the contract
was made. and is retroactive from the
date of the contract, July 1, 1907, so
the loss to the roads will amount to
1920 600

INTENSE ACTIVITY
IN new YORK STATE
Political Speakers Hot on the
Trail Of Voters,

New York, Oct. 28.-The political
programme was one of intense activ.
1ty throughout New York city and
state. Both presidential candidates
are here, hurrying from point to point
In the city and nearby towns. MIR.
Taft started for the outlying suburbs
early in the day, going first to >Yon-
kers and then to series of cities and
towns along the Hudson as far up as
Troy. Mr.. Bryan devoted himself to
Greater New York, beginning at 3 a.
m. in City Hall park, then, after
few hours sleep, addressing a Broad.
way meeting, then going to Brooklyn
and Long Island City and later cross
ing to Jersey City.
Both of the gubernatorial candi-
dates also devoted their attention to
New York city. Governor Hughes
came down from Albany, speaking en-
route at Catskill and later he filled
engagements here, at Long Island
City and several suburban points. Mr..
Chanler gave his attention to New
York city and Brooklyn.

TALKS TO NIGHT WORKERS
Bryan Makes Speech at Three in the
Morning.

bryan wakes speech at Inree IN the
Morning.
New York, Oct 2S.-For the first
time in their history at such an hour
the gray walls of the old city hall
were lighted up by red fire at o'clock
in the morning when William J. .Bry-
en, bare headed and smiling, was in
rroduced from the steps of the build
ing to big crowd of night workers
gathered there to greet him and hear
him speak on the issues of the cam
paign. The crowd was composed prin-
cirally of employees of the big news
paper Offices on Park Row, the tele-
graph Offices and the general postof1ce
across the park, while here and there
yellow "duster" marked listener
from one of the big markets where
work does not cease with darkness. A
brass band entertained the crowd with
badly played patriotic airs until the
arrival of Mr.. Bryan and his party
and a number of lesser lights in the
political field spoke briefly, but neither
the Interruptions nor the arrival or
speech of Mr.. Bryan himself dis
turbed the regular patrons of the park
benches, scores of whom slept on un-
disturbed by the unusual activity in
their out of doors sleeping places.
Mr.. Bryan was accompanied by Ma
tional Chairman Norman e. Mack and
by Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Mack. Mr.
Bryan eulogized the workers of the
country and spoke at some length on
the various issues of the campaign.

Ing. He aroused enthusiasm wher-
ever he stopped and his receptions
have been marked by spirit of
friendliness and cordiality.
When Judge Taft reached the Grand
Central station in New York he found
= cheering crowd awaiting him. He
acknowledged the compliment, but
gould not respond with a speech be
cause of the noise. At Yonkers the
candidate spoke to an audience in the
local theater, going extremely into the
campaign issues, after severely de-
bouncing AS false the rumor in New
York that he was in bad shape phys
ically. The Yonkers meeting demon
strated the interest in the candidate
by it's size and the large number who
could not get into the hall. -

COURT RULES
FOR DEFENSE
Several Points Decided in
Morse=CnrtiS Case.
TRIAL WILL NOW PROCEED

Judge Hough, on Motion Of Defend.
s ants Attorneys, Dismisses the
Counts in the Indictments Alleging
Conspiracy and Misrepresentation,
but Refuses Application to Dismiss
the Remaining Counts.
New York, Oct. 2S.-The defense in
the case of Charles w. Morse, fnan-
cier, and A. H. Curtis, former presi-
dent of the National Bank of North
America, who are on trial in the Unit
ed States court here, scored telling
points. The presentation of evidence
by the prosecution had been conclud-
ed and the defense, before opening
it's case, had made motions to have
quashed the indictment against their
clients. These motions were denied,
but after hearing arguments on mo-
lions to strike out certain specific por-
lions of the Indictment Judge Hough
ruled in favor of the defense. By his
direction two counts of the indictment
one charging conspiracy and the
other misrepresentation stricken
from the record. In dismissing the
conspiracy charge Judge Hough said
that, from the evidence which had
been adduced, he could not see how
the minds of the two defendants could
act in concert. In view of the evil
dence, he said, he could not permit
verdict on the conspiracy count and
therefore he directed that the conspi-
racy charge be dismissed. The count
In the indictment charging m1sappro-
priation in connection with 100000
note given in payment for stock pur-
chased from Mr.. Morse also was dis
missed by Judge Hough on the
ground that there was no evidence of
criminality. The part of the indict-
ment which remains, and which Judge
Hough refused to dismiss when appli-
cation was made by counsel for Morse,
alleges false reports, misapplication,
over certification and the use of funds
of depositors for speculative purposes.
After Judge Hough had passed upon
the motions to dismiss portions of the
Indictment Mr.. Olcott began an ar
gument in behalf of Mr.. Curtis. He
contended that many of the counts
in the indictment did not apply to Mr..
Curtis at all, but his application to
have them lifted from Mr.. Curtis was
denied by the court.
