TILLMAN IMPROVES SLOWLY.
Can Hardly Return to Senate This
Session--Statement From Dr.. &c.
Hunter. -.

The condition of Senator b. r. Till
man, who is sick at his home at Tren-
ton, is not alarming, according to his
physician, but it is not thought that
he will be able to return to the senate
this session.
In response to all inquiry DR.. Il. j.
Hunter, Senator Tilman's physician,
wired the State at 9.45 Wednesday
evening as follows:
"Tlere is nothing alarming in Sen
ator Tllman's condition. Left off
anodyne last night for first time
since he has been sick, and he did not
rest as we'll as he has been. He has
been somewhat depressed today. He
has developed no organic symptoms
at all. His trouble is purely func-
tlonal. His Improvement has not
been as rapid as I first expected.
Don't think he Will be able to return
TO the senate this session."

would justify such Il change. But,
adoption of his resolution would not
have committed the State COMMITTEES
to such Il change. Moreover, the
meeting Tuesday night was probably
the last gathering of the present
committee. 1t is impossible to see
what harm could have been done BY
adoption Of .hc resolution, which was
simply Il request for the Democrats
IN their club meetings and county
conventions /" discuss the suggested
Change Of the day for holding the
primary election. SO that the DELEGATES

.d to the State convention for con-
Sidcration. Is anybody afraid to have
the Democrats discuss party questions
for tllemselvcS;q
Briefly stated, Mr.. Bleasc thought
the suggested change advisable be-
cause Saturday is usually II half holi-
day with negro laborcrS, 50 farmers
can better spare the time to vote on
Saturdays than on Tuesdays; more
over, most of the mills give Il half
holiday on Saturdays. which would
enable operatives to vote without be-
III" beloldcn to anybody for the pri-
"ile%" Of leaving the mill 10 do 50 and
without danger Of having their wages
locked.
There 4 no statement OF reasons
why The proposed chAn"r would not
be desirable. and certainly not even
n hint as to any harm that would re-
suit from asking the Democrats 10
consider the question. Mr.. w. +. ST..
vcnSon made tn, motion on which Mr..
Rleasc'S resolution was voted down.
II may be well to keep tnis in mind.
The only objection to H., proposed
change which the Record can see Il:
present is that il might operate TO cul
down the vote in the cities Of tho
State. This is not likely. however. a.
the primary is held durin" the time of
summer 1ulncSS.
The Record does not advocate Tbs
proposed change. but if does urge tn,
Democrats to consider it IN their clul
mrrtingS and county conventions. 50
thci' delegates to the State conven-
!;on may know their wishes in al.
vanr" Of consideration of the sub,
lrrt by the state convention.

The people of this section were
very much panied over the sad news

Ncwbcrry Of a mad dog, and there is
a growing sentiment in this commun-
ity III favor of the enactment of a
law requiring the owner Of a dog to
keep it on his W premises. at least
the greater part of the year. Hun
ters say that the scarcity of game is
due more TO the fact that hounds and
every other kind of dog prowl around
in the fields during the spring and
summer and destroy the partridge
eggs and the Young rabbits than to
any other cause. Then, too, it would
be astounding if it could be known
just how many turkey, and guinea
eggs are destroyed in this county in
one year by these worthless dogs.
But more important to consider than
all THESE things, is tine danger that
some innocent and helpless school
child may be bitten by a. mad dog
running at large, and die with HYDRO
phobia, Just for the sake of an old
worthless Il prowling around all ov-
er the county, night and day.

the convenience of pupils in Kansas

THROWN OUT IN COLD.
Hard Lot of Old soldiers at Leaven-
worth Home.

Leavenworth, Nov. 19.-Chief Tay-
Tor said today. There should be some
action taken to protect LeaVenWortE
city and county from the expense
thrown on them by the Soldiers
Home There is not a week passes
that we do not have to take care of
some old man who is refused admls-
sion to the Home or who is thrown
out because of some infringement OF
the rules. The government should
provide some means of caring Tor
these unfortunates. Every year nun
dreds of old men, usually cripples or
sick men. come here under the i'm
preston that they can get admitted
to the Home. Some OF them are
taken care of on the Home grounds,
and still others are told to see Major
Warner or wait a few days. Dozens
of them get robbed while waiting in
cheap boarding houses and dives and
often they get beaten up or become
sick and Leavenworth county has to
pay the expense of caring for them.
We would be censured If we allowed
these old men to suffer uncared for.
Under the law we cannot send an old
soldier to the poor house without his
consent and few of them will consent
to go there. Consequently they have
certainly a great injustice to the COM
munity.
''It seems to me that the govern
ment could maintain some kind of a
stockade inside the Home grounds for
men who violate the rules and forfeit
their membership. 1t is not right to
throw these helpless old fellows out
on this community
This is a matter that should receive
attention. Surely the government can
afford to send men who violate the
rules and forfeit their membership,

MUCH GOOD. TO LABOR.
Is Expected to Result From White
House Conference.

Washington, Nov. .19.-Further con-
ferences at the White House between
the president and men who are prorni-
nent in labor matters made the atti-
tude of the administration toward pro-
posed labor legislationsa subject of keen
discussion in Washington. Among
those who saw the president were
Charles P. Neill. commissioner of labor,
United States Attorney Henry L. Slim
son of New York. Edward J. Gaven Of
New York, attorney for labor unions,
and Charles H. Sheriff., an attorney OF
New York, all of whom attended the
labor dinner at the White House Tues
day evening.
1t is learned from the highest author
ity that the object of the president in
giving a dinner to friends of labor and
in holding the subsequent conferences
was primarily to bring about a better
understanding between representatives
of the government and labor leaders and
to impress upon the labor interests of
the country the disposition Of the adj
ministration to receive its representa-
tives in conference on equality with all
others. The desire of the president. it
was explained, was to have the labor
ing man feel that he has the right to
present his grievances and demands
and to demonstrate that neither the
labor leader nor the millionaire need
come to the back door of the White
House at midnight in order to have
conference with the president
The reason members of the supreme
court of the United States and execu-
tive officials were invited to be present
was merely to enable them to learn
from the leaders direct what they re-
gard as their needs.
The occasion is said to have afforded
a free exchange of ideas and to have
been of illuminating value" to the
president.
While he may not adopt a labor
programme at the close Of his admins
tration lest he might thereby embarrass
his successor. it is believed he will set
forth his views on needs of labor either
In his annual message to congress or In
special labor message submitted SUD-
sequently.
The various conferences Of the past
two days are said to have brought out
more plainly than ever before, the de-
sire of the labor interests to eliminate
laws in collecting damages under en-
ployers' liability laws. 1t has been
found the labor leaders claim, that the
lawsuits result in benefit to lawyers

EAT NO GREEN VEGETABLES.
And You VIII Never Have Cancer
Says an Authority.

Buffalo. N. Y, Nov 19.-The Buffalo
Academy of Medicine last night heard
new theory as to the origin of can
Ger. Dr. Hiram D. Walker. form erly
of New Burgh. n. Y, but now living
here, said in a paper on the subject
that seven years experiments had
proved TO his satisfaction that can
Ger is a parasitic disease and that
the common garden worm is the
source of the parasite. which pro-
duces cancer. The transmission of
the parasite from the worm to the
human being comes from the worm
crawling over fresh vegetables which
are afterwards eaten. He said:
IF am correct in my con-
illusions. all the suffering and death
caused by cancer can be prevented by
refraining from eating such vegetables
as cabbage celery, onions and lettuce
which have been infected by these
parasites"

sixty experiments upon various ami

parasitic germs obtained from earth
