 After escaping from the asylum sev eral days ago. he worked his way back to his home in this city. and it is un. derstood that he has been staying with relatives. He showed no signs of vio Ience and everything went well until Thursday afternoon. when he sudden. Iy became seized with the idea that an injury was being done him, and he made bold threats. He harbored a Erudge against Deputy Sheriff Claude McRee. and threatened to kill him. The family became alarmed and notified the police to he on the lookout for him and capture him.
 Yesterday morning Bryan visited the tail in search of MT. Mckee but did not find him there. A few minutes later he was seen by the police standing quietly on the postoffice corner and when the officers walked up to him to make the arrest he very quietly sub mitted.
 When searched at police headquaP. ters the young man had no concealed weapons on his person. and appeared to be very calm and took his arrest as a matter of no consequence.

HIrh Preenure Days.

Men and women alike have to work necessarily with brain and hand to hold their own nowadays Never were th demands of brsineSs, the wants of the family. the requirements of soci- ety, more numer Ius. Tie first effect of the praiseworthy eht t to keep up with all these things is commonly seen in a weakened or debijitated condition of the nervous system. which results in dyspepsia, defsc:iNe nutrition of both body and brain. and In extreme cases in complete nervhUs prostration. It is clearly seen that what is needed is what will sustain the system. give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimilslve functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge, we can recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this purpose It acts on all the vital organs. builds up the whole system, and fits men and wo- men for these high pressure days

Poor Rich Children

Two hundred thousand dollars is enough to "bring up" little daughter of the rich. If it's a boy, it will cost more.
 May K. Warwick takes up the case of these rich children, in the current issue of THE SATURDAY EVENING PosT.
 A wealthy Boston couple put their two boys under the care of French bonnes and goyernesses. When the children reached the ages of eight and nine they were sent to a well-known school. They knew their mother-tongue so very little that they could not understand what their in- structors were saying to them, and they actually did not know how to dress them selves. They had to be sent home; there was no place for them, even in a fashionable school.
 Some of these children be- come cads and rakes, others at tain beautifulideals ofcourtesy, breeding and social grace, but they all lose something which a human being has right to.

JUDGE REITER DID NOT
ORDER LIQUOR DESTROYED.
Judge Mcmahon of Circuit Court, Is
sued Writ and Sheriff Carter
Carried Out Courts Order.

The Chicago Inter Ocean yesterday
printed an account of the destruction
of a quantity of liquor by Sheriff Car
ter The account was erroneous in
that it said that the destruction of the
liquor had been ordered by Judge Vir-
gil S. Reiter of the Lake superior court,
when the facts are that the liquor was
ordered destroyed BY the judge Of the
Lake and Porter circuit court at Crown
Point.
The Hammond correspondent of the
Inter Ocean denies that he tried to in
jure Judge Reiter. who is exceeding
wrothy by the publication of such a
report and says that it was merely a
mistake on his part.
Judge Reiter had nothing to do with
ordering the destruction of the liquor
and the mistake was a grave error.

DEMOCRATS ARE
WONDERING WHY
Betting Is 2 to l That Taft Will
Garry Indiana and 8 to l That
Republican Candidate Will Be
Elected President of the United
States.

Indianapolis, Oct. "A sudden
change in the betting odds last even
ing indicated that some kind of impetus
had been given the republican cause I'm
the state. On practically all the bet-
ting boards, which had been covered
with democratic money, the Marshall
bets were gobbIed up and Watson
wagers appeared. The change was SO
sudden to attract general comment
and cause much comment.
Big Change Takes Place.
For weeks even money on Marshall
had not found takers and Watson
money was not in sight. On some of
the boards odds of 10 to had been
offered on the democratic nominee
These were the first last evening to
disappear. They were erased as IL
by magic. Then. the even money on
Marshall disappeared there suddenly
being more takers thanN weas
bets
Made Bets of Their Own.
With no Marshall money posted. re-
publican hackers commenced to make
bets of their own. Even bets on Wat
son were offered. There went untaken
and remainde so today At any one of
the six or eight betting places today
there. was an abundance of Watson
money. offered even on the outcome.
The sudden change struck consterna-
tion in the hearts of democratic back
ers and they refrained from betting.
Those who sought to back up their
opinions with money sought odds of
Z to TO- This was great tumble
from 10 to 9.
Big Odds On Taft.
The betting on Taft and Bryan re-
nained unchanged to 1 that Taft
would carry Indiana and to 1 that he
would be elected.
! Managers of both parties deny
knowledge of any reason why the bet
ting on the outcome in the state should
have fuctuated so violently.
The Indianapolis Taft club. with a
membership upwards of $500, will have
a big demonstration here tomorrow
night. Prominent professional and
business men. who heretofore never en-
gagged actively in politics, are members.
Saturday E7arshaII Day.
Saturday viii be Marshall day" in
Indianapolis. The democratic candidate
for governor will make four speeches.
one in the court house yard and an
other in the Auditorium. This will be
dianapolis.
Republicans say that the tide has
not changed and that the democratic
wave, which was pronounced. has been
overcome.

RoseIawn, Ind, Oct. THE entire
stroyed last night by a $4,000 fire
which started in the rear of the Best
liv~ry barn from an unknown origin.
The are was discovered just after Neis
Jacobson, of Hammond, had got
through speaking.
The debris was still smouldering to-
day, the village having had no means
to fight the fire. A bucket brigade,
composed practically of the entire citi-
zenship, worked heroical1y, but its ef-
forts were useless in a district built
mp of frame structures. The town to-
day looks desOlate and fOrsaken, the
thrifty community is crushed by the
cOnf1azratiOn and 1T was only In half
hearted manner that the sufferers set
about to retrieve their losses.
START IS A MYSTERY.
How the fire started is a mystery,
although 1T is thought that some care
less person dropped a burning cigar
stump in the rear of the livery barn.
1t was about 1850 and quite NUM-
ber of people were still asfir owing to
rOusing republican meeting that had
been held and at which NeIs Jacob
son, of Hammond, was one of the prin-
cipaI speakers.
Strange, as it seemed to the people
of ROseInwn this morning, one build
ing in the entire block was saved, this
being the blacksmith shop of Harvey
Nelson. who, fOreseeinx just such n
cOnnagration, had provided himself
against ii.
For some time he has had a gosoline
engine installed. which he had con-
nected with well, and by this means
he was able to throw large enough
stream of water on his shop to save
1T from the flames.
IS HEAVIEST LOSER.
| The ROseIawn Lumber company was
probably the heaviest loser, all its
sheds and stock having ben destroyed
Its damage is estimated at $4,000 and
only the smallest part of this was In
sured.
1. n. Best, whose livery barn was de.
strOyed, suffered loss of $4,000, al.
though 81 $50 of this is covered by in.
surance. His loss would have beer
heavier, but with the help of neigh.
bors he managed TO rescue seven horses
ana two cows.
On the whole, the loss would hay,
been greater, but for the fact tina
some of the buildings which burne,
were unoccupied. Principal among
these were MeIIinger's and SteePs sa
looms, which had been put cut of bust
ness by remOnstrance.

ROBERTSOALE IN LINE

The republicans of Robertsdale have
decided to organize a republican club
and will meet in that city next Friday
for the purpose of affecting the organi-
zation. Mr.. Frank Olson is interested
in the orga nization of the club and he
and many other Robertsdale republic
ans are working tooth and toe na4 for
the success of the ticket. They think
that they work will be more effective
if they have a republican club, and so
they organized one. The meeting will
probably be held in HATS hall
Robertsdale is in better shape than
ever before and the republicans there
expect to poll practically the entire
vote of this ward.
