TENTH DISTRICT is IN DANGER
Chairman Price Sends out Appeal for Funds to
Elect Woods.

We are in receipt of letter from
Chairman B. j. Price in which he
tells us that Woods has opposition and
that there is danger of his defeat if
he and his friends are caught nap
ping. Chairman Price also appeals
for funds to pay for small matters
connected with the campaign of the
candidate for congress. This is the
first time in the history of the district
that congressional candidate ha:
made an appeal for help to pay hi
campaign expenses and it must be
that affairs are desperate.

p. j. Klinker is making a spleuoid
campaign Of the county. His good
work as county attorney is being re-
cognized and it is felt that he is the
right kind of young man. A man
who appreciates the support given him
and who makes the most of his oppor-
tunities. He is typical of what every
young German boy can DO if he has
the grit and the determination and it
is no wonder The Germans of the coun-
ty are proud of him and stand lack of
him so we'll.

COUGHDROP MAN DEAD.
Noted Chicago Character Found Dead
in n Doorway.

Chicago, Oct. 24-The "coughdror
man." as he was known to thousands
of persons in Chicago, was found dead
yesterday in the doorway of a Clark
street lodging house. Heart failure
was the cause of death.
Richard Connors was the name
given the decedent when he was chris
tened at Buffalo fifty years ago. He
had benn a familiar figure in Clark
street for quarter of a century during
which he eked out an existence by
peddling coughdrops.
In the winter season he visited the
large office buildings selling his "in-
comparable coughdrops, and he got
to be known to the tenants as the
"coughdrop man."
Among his customers were bankers,
physicians. and the most successful
lawyers at the bar. So methodical was
the "coughdrop man" in his calls at
the different buildings that his Gus
toners could almost set their clocks by
his coming.
Although he died penniless, Connors
will have swell funeral" to quote
Alderman Michael Kenna- He was a
member of the First Ward Democratic
club, and the auxiliary. which was in
corporated at Springfield only week
ago. will take charge of the funeral
arrangements

BILLION rs AVAILABLE
DISTRICTS APPROPRIATION OF
$40, ooo, 900 CAN NOW BE SPENT.

Today, the first day Of the new fiscal
year, the food-gates Of the United States
Treasury are opened to the government
service. More than a billion dollars be-
comes available under appropriation acts
passed by the last Congress.
This does not mean, of course. that this
vast sum of money is going to be i'm
mediately turned loose upon the country.
1t is simply renewal by Congress of the
credit Of the many departments of the
government to enable them to carry on
their respective functions until July of
next year.
But nevertheless it does mean that with
will begin various works of necessity. and
otherwise calling for the employment Of
labor and the payment OF many thou
sands Of dollars in salaries. Many claims.
too will now doubtless receive recognition
and satisfaction.
The appropriations for the District of
Columbia. not including those which
cover the work Of the federal government.
amount to more than $4,000. 000-about
S. 600. 600 less than the estimates called
for-and $500 600 less than was provided
for the conduct of the District govern
ment during the previous fiscal year.
This vast sum will not only provide for
the salaries of all the employees of the
District government. the schools. the po-
lice the fire department and all other
employees. but will cover many improve
ments. both within and beyond the city's
boundary lines. the purchase of sites for
and the erection of new and much-needed
schoolhouses, sewers, street improvements
and the like.
In other words, 1t is a new deposit
added to the bank account of the city
and its environments. and though smaller
than last year, yet sufficiently large
to accomplish much for the good OF the
city.

NO CHIEF OF ENGINEERS YET
SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENT
BY WAR DEPARTMENT.
Indicates That Col. Marshall, Be-
lieved to Have Been Choice,
Has Declined Post.

It was announced at the War Depart
ment today that the office of chief OF
engineers of the army, vacant since the
retirement Of Maj. Gen. Alexander Mack
enzie, May % last, has not been filled. re-
ports to the contrary notwithstanding
and that it will not be filled until 1t has
been considered further by the President
and Secretary Wright.
The significance of this statement is the
indication that there is some hitch IN the
plan to appoint Col William L. Marshall
to the vacant Office.
Col. Marshall, who is in charge Of river
and harbor works in the vicinity OF New
York city, was summoned to oyster Bay
Monday and took luncheon with the Presi-
dent. 1t was generally understood In this
choice as chief of engineers and That ne
was summoned to Oyster Bay with view
to his appointment.
Col. Marshall will retire for age In June
1910 1t was known by his friends thai
he did not care to change his station and
duties for the short period of active serv-
ice before him. He was not a candidate
for the office of chief of engineers. and
had no desire, it IS said, to assume its
duties and responsibilities, involving a
radical change in his plans and place OF
residence.
Because of these considerations the Of
fetal announcement made today that the
appointment of a chief of engineers would
not be settled for several days yet Is
accepted as an indication that II Col
Marshall was offered the position by the
President, the other day, he respectfully
and politely declined 1t.

ATTEMPTS DRAMATIC SUICIDE.
Son Of Good Family Tries to Escape
Prison by Death.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, July 1.-Determined that his
family name should not be dishonored.
M. Hureau, a man of good position and
education, handed to his son In the dock
of a Paris court an envelope containing
poison, which the young man was to
swallow II he were convicted. The pris-
oner was found guilty with others Of
completely in an insurance swindle. As
his counsel was about to plead extenuat-
ing circumstances. the young man stood
up in the dock and desired the barrister
to be silent.
At the same moment he put the envel-
ope to his lips and swallowed the con-
tents. few seconds later he fell heav-
fly, foaming at the mouth. A doctor who
was in court attended to him instantly
with a stomach pump, while one OF his
fellow-prisoners. DR.. Lacombe, did his
best to help by inducing artificial respira-
ton.
Ultimately after two hours. the young
man, who had taken a large dose of digi-
tails, recovered and was brought into
court and sentenced to years imprison-
ment, while DIR. Lacombe was condemned
to two years. hard labor. The prisoner
had told his father that he preferred
death to dishonor.
