WOMAN A COOK, NOT A VOTER

FalconiO Says She Should Get Busy
Looking After Home and Children.
A St. Louis dispatch to the Chi
cago Record-HeraId says:
ITO be able to mind her own bus
mess and get busy is the panacea,
somewhat briefly and laconically ex-
pressed, for the restlessness and dis
quietude of American women, ac-
cording to HIS excellency, Mgr. Do
mede Falconio, apostolic delegate to
the United States, expressed at Arch
bishop Glennon's residence.
do you think the modern woman
would be happier were she to become
more of a factor, politically and pub
licly. in order that she may rear bet
ter statesmen and men of affairs?'
Il think she should attend to her
husbands home and take care of
her children and see that their din
ner is we'll cooked. If she will see
TO her own business and be busy in
her house she will be happy"

SHERIFF BEARD UP AGAIN.
Recovering From Desperate Wounds

Recovering From Desperate Wounds
inflicted by Slayer of Bius Boys.
The Fort Gaines Sentinel reports
that Sheriff w. w Beard, of Clay
county, who was so desperately
wounded by George Thomas, the ne
gro who killed the Bus brothers in
Randolph county and himself died
from wounds inflicted by Sheriff
Beard while that officer was trying
to effect his capture, has so far re-
covered as to be able to be on the
streets again. The wounds of Mr..
Beard have about all healed with
the exception of his left arm, which
is still carried in a sling.
At first there were very grave fears
that the wounds of Mr.. Beard would
permanently disable some parts of
his body, but as his recovery pro-
crosses these fears are banished, for
every indication now points to COM
plete recovery.

SKUNK CURE FOR CANCER.
What a "Scent" in a Fashionable
Residence Section Disclosed.

A Milwaukee dispatch says:
Health Commissioner Bading has
learned why the smart residence
section of the West Side has com
planned Of skunks. In a street car
he ran across the young man who
first made the complaint, and a ply
stefan who lives in the neighborhood.
They told him that there never was
a skunk around there, but that an
important part of several skunks had
been deposited there by physician,
to whom Attorney Umbreit, for the
State Medical Board, has been giving
some attention.
This doctor sent to New York for
the sacs of several skunks, and had
a North Side druggist grind them and
put them up in gelantine capsules.
1t is said that they were sold as a
cure for cancer When this doctor
moved away he threw out some of
the capsules. The gelatine dissolved.

NEW YORK BETTING MEN SHY
No Money at Jefferson House ON
National or State Results.

The New York Morning telegram
says: With the presidential election
only one week off there is absolutely
no betting along Broadway. At the
Hoffman House, in former years.
Charles Mahoney used to have sew
eral hundred thousand dollars pack
ed away in election bets by this time.
rms year he has not $4,000.
i don't know why it is" he said
yesterday. Il have announced for
weeks than 1 had all the money in
any sum that any man might want
to bet to put out, but have only got
couple of bets. This money is to
be placed on Chanler at even against
Hughes. l got only two or three
bets.
Il have heard men offer all kinds
of odds here to 5, to 4, even,
and to l on Chanler-but you can
not coax Hughes man to loosen up.
On the national result things are
every bit as dull. Everybody re-
Allies that it is a close fight. Mr..
Bryan has put up the best campaign
he yer did. Everything favored the
democrats this year There is a
money stringency on which has last
ed for year. Mills are idle, work
men are tramping the streets. We
are having a panic right in republi-
can times, and after twelve years of
republican administration.
People are not swallowing all the
old talk about democrats making
hard times so readily this year, and
it has made things mighty uncertain.
Everybody, even his own friends, be-
lieve Hughes is whipped. That
seems a foregone conclusion, and it
is no wonder they will not bet on
him. But l cannot understand why
there is no betting on the national
event. That looks to me like a good
possibility either way

ALMOST BURIED WHILE ALIVE.
The Timely Act of Physician Pre-
vented That Horror.

The timely Intervention of a ply
stefan, who was not satisfied with
the appearance Of the body, prevented
the burial alive of Mrs. Thomas
Chapman, so years old, who was sup
posed to have died suddenly of heart
disease at Ellis, Kan, Saturday.
The body was prepared for burial,
but was not embalmed. The funeral
was to have taken place at 2:3O
O'Clock this afternoon. A few min
utes before the coffin was sealed a
physician requested permission to
see the body. An examination con-
firmed his suspicious that the wo-
mans body was made rigid by sus-
pended animation. The woman was
removed from the coffin, placed in
bed, and revived. While her heart
is weak, it is believed that Mrs.
Chapman will recover.

CATCHING the "Tone."

He was a well meaning young man,
but as curate in small village he had
never occasion to meet the class of
people who frequented the fashion
able parish to which he had just been
appointed.
His new rector, wishing to help him
ON to success, had been liberal with
advice and had duly impressed him
with the Importance of always taking
the ''tone" of the people with whom
he mingled. Being invited to take
dinner at the mansion of one of the
members of the congregation and
knowing that he would have to say
grace, the young curate took his cue
from the conversation overheard be-
fore dinner, and when his hostess
nodded meaningly in his direction he
delivered himself of the following,
which he considered quite in keeping
with the ''tone" of the guests assem-
bled:

MANY ARRESTS ARE MADE
Also Much Loot is Found-ReaI Cause
of the Mob Outbreak.

The gathering of evidence has begun
in earnest. Policemen in plain clothes
have been sent to search the houses of
prisoners and suspects, and as result
the police station looks like general

and women's clothing. dry goods and
shoes, were recovered in great quanti-
ties, most of them bearing the price

Naturally many arrests followed.
Eighty prisoners were crowded into
the small cell room at the police sta
ton. the lack of comfort being such
that only the cement floor is available
for sleeping space. "That will take
some Of the rioting out of them" was
the comment of one policeman.
Five OF the arrests are considered
important by the police. 1t was in the
homes of these men that most of the
loot was found. A sixth person is
being sought by the police who aver
that when he is arrested practically

Another Aged Negro Attacked-A Wo-

One of the most fearsome of the
nights brutalitieS was an attempt to

badly die as the result Of the attack
upon him. The Negroes name is Will
Smith. He is seventy years old and
for a long time has been unable to
move about on account of paralysis
of the lower limbs. He was lying in
bed in his little shack on East Madison
street, near Eleventh, when the mob
reached his place.
He was unceremoni0uSly dragged
into the street, stripped of most of his
clothing, and two or three shots were
fired at hin, but missed him. The
shack was set on fire and as the flames
began to die down some members of
the mob, delirious with drink picked
up the unconscious form and. with
shots of Burn the niger" started to
carry him toward the fire. Others in
