NEW KIND OF MONKEY.
Scientists Think They May Have
Found the Missing Link.

New York, Oct. 12-The experts at
the Bronx Zoo are puzzling over a
new monkey from Java, which is
the nearest. SO far seen here to the
long-sought missing link" the dream
of science ever since the Darwin the
DRY OF evolution was propounded.
me Simian in question was brought
TO New York day or SO ago bv the
captain OF the steamship Clan Mac
donald. 1t was taken off the shin in
the Hudson and conveyed to the Zoo
IN stout cage. The captain said he
had never seen any monkey like it in
all his travels in the East Indies. The
folks at the Zoo have never seen any
thing like it either
The creature is supposed to be some
kind of gfbbon. 1t stands three and
half feet high and has an unusually
intelligent face. The body is covered
with long black hair.
Prof. Melvin Haggerty. of Harvard
university, who recently made a study
of the monkey dialects at the Bronx
Zoo, is to be apprised of the find" in
order that he may examine the crea-
ture and talk to it if possible in the
hope that it may turn out to be the
real missing link which is supposed
to bind man to his ape ancestors.
Several times scientists have
thought they had found the missin Q
link, only to discover on closer study
that they were as far from solving
the battling problem as ever.

new ISSUE OF STAMPS.
Distribution Is Expected to Begin in
November.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE bureau OF
engraving and printing has completed
designs suggested by Postmaster Cen
eral Myer for a new issue of United
States postage stamps. The new stamps
will be of the following denominations:
One cent, two, three, four, five, six,
eight, ten, fifteen and fifty cents and
one dollar. The two-dollar and five
dollar denominations now in use will
not be reprinted. 1t will be some weeks
before all the denominations will be put
on the market. However, the two-cent
stamps will be first distributed and 1t
is expected that shipments to postmas-
tiers will commence some time in No
vember The new issue has been de-
signed with the object of obtaining the
simplicity commensurate with artistic
results. The profile has been taken in
each instance instead of a full view,
giving a bas-relief effect. All the
stamps are of similar design, contain
ing a head in an ellipse, the only dec
Grafton being laurel leaves on either
side of the ellipse.
The lettering is in straight lines. at
the top being ''U. S. postage" and at
the bottom the words 1.-TWO cents" The
one-cent stamp contains the head of
Franklin. while all others will bear that
of Washington taken from busts by
Houdon Thus one of the most notable
differences in the new issue will be the
minimum of lettering. The colors are
the reds and blues of the early stamp.
Director Ralph of the bureau of en-
craving and printing regards the new
stamps as the most artistic ever issued
by the government.

BRINGS GOOD REPORTS.
Elmer Dover Tells Roosevelt Prospects
Are Frightening.

Washington, Oct. 12-Republican
prospects are materially, Frightening
according to the information brought to
the White House during the last 4s
hours. The president is much graft
fed over the encouraging reports which
are reaching him and which indicate
that there has been a substantial
change in the situation for the better
within the last week There is no doubt
of Taft carrying New York and Ohio,
the president is told. and all question
of his election has been removed.
Elmer Dover, until recently secretary
of the Republican national committee
and at present member OF the adj
visory committee of the national COM
mittee, brings the greatest cheer.
'In New York and Ohio the outlook
is much better than it was he told
the president, land the result cannot
be doubted by anyone
The sinews of war, which have been
sadly lacking, are coming forward now
in satisfactory quantities, according to
Mr.. Dover, and there is no longer any
shortage of campaign funds. Mr.. Do
yer says that a few days ago Treas
urer Sheldon mailed $4,000 letters to Re-
publicans asking each for a contribu-
ton of $50. The last of these letters
went out Wednesday night On Thurs
day 100 replies, each containing a
check were received.
1T is an interesting fact" said Mr..
Dover, that the individual Subscr1p-
lions greatly exceed the number in any
other year in the history of the party.
Another interesting fact is that the
cities of Chicago, New York, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg and Boston furnish so
per cent of all contributions to our
campaign fund. This is a record es-
tablished by a long series of cam
paigns."
Willis Moore, chief of the weather
bureau, who was for a time a member
of the Typographical union and who
is in close touch with labor leaders,
has been quietly at work endeavoring
to ascertain the position of organized
labor, and do what he could to influ-
ence labor to support Taft. He has
received many letters from labor lead
ers with whom he has been unable
to confer personally. and he told the
president that he finds a strong ten
dency among organized labor to break
away from Bryan.

TWO RECORDS SMASHED
In Hammer Throwing and Hurdle
Racing at 44O Yards.

New York, Oct. 1.-TWO worlds records
were smashed at the annual fall games of
the Irish American Athletic club at Celtic
park. Matt McGrath of the New York
Athletic club and John ]. Flanagan of the
Irish-American Athletic club also estab-
lished new figures for the 16-pound ham,
mer event, but the hammer was one inch
longer than the regulation length and the
records will not be allowed.
The first record to go was the 440-yard
hurdle. The event was especially put on
to give Charles Bacon. the Olympic cham
pion. show for new figures. He covered
the distance in sixty and three-ffths
record by eight seconds, held by j. <a-
honey of the New York Athletic club.
Jack Eiler. the bicycle cop. who has been
burning up the cinder path recently with
his wonderful hurdling, established a new
record for the 220-yard high hurdle He
topped the timbers in the fast time of
twenty-seven and three-fifths seconds
beating the best previous figures by six
and one-fifth seconds.

Lord Bacon Said,
Digest"
This is the Secret of Life in Bust
ness or in Health.

1t IS claimed that Lord Bacon struck
the prime keynote Of life when he
wrote: Some books are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed, and some few
to be chewed and digested."
He wrote Of books; many who have
followed him have written likewise of
life. The man who digests his bust
ness, makes success; the actor or ac-
cress who digests his or her art brings
fame; the man who lives life and di-
gests it as he should lives as was the
intention he should live.
1t is not the food you swallow or
taste that brings happiness to you; 1t
is the food you digest
If you swallow and taste and don't
digest and chew, Nature cannot give
you health, for you do not furnish the
ammunition.

St Louis, Mo-, Oct. 12.-Captain

tain among others, the following plati-
tudes. on the railroad uestion. viz:
People began to investigate and they
round that the Republican party had
already put pretty heavy burden Of
taxation upon the railroads.
Freight rates are higher in most
states than they are in Kansas.
But little, if any complaint is made
as to local rates

%. Did you not, as such chairman,
submit the manuscript of that speech
to one or more railroad attorneys in
Topeka. for their approval?
"a. Did you not, as such chairman
of the Republican committee, approve
the railroad section of Governor Hoch's
speech?
IS. After this speech was delivered at
Marion, did you not receive from
tributions for campaign purposes?
''6. After you had received this rail-
road money to be used to defeat Judge
Dale, did you not conceal from the
public the fact that you had solicited,
received and used this railroad money
to elect Hoch governor?
we also charge in our document
that in addition to the $1,000, Stubs
went to the railroads and demanded all
the tickets he needed. telling them that
he would not use passes for the reason
that the peonle would know he was
using free transportation. Mr.. Stubs
in his interview fails to deny that
charge, and it is fair to presume he
admits il.
1T is evident that he meant to de-
ceive the people when he demanded
tickets in place of passes. Mr.. Stubs
uses the language of a man who would
like to discontinue the controversy.
While he admits the truth of our
charges, he says we are trying to
SANDER him. He is mistaken. We are
not trying to Islander him at all We
are trying to point out his hidden
tracks; we are trying to point out the
egg shells he has failed to hide

Burns Losing Favor
In England
Lord LonsdaIe Takes a Hand
and Tells Pugaist to Be
Reasonable
SPECIAL cABLE TO THE CALL

LONDON. May 1s.-Lord LOnsdale
has taken a hand in the public debate
over the proposed 6ght between
Tommy Burns and Jack Johnson for
the heavy weight championship Of the
world. Lord Lonsdale sent Burns
telegram last night telling Burns he
ought to light Johnson on the same
financial terms former heavy weight
champions took on their opponents. Hs
also said that he did not think Burns
had the right to decide the size of the
stake. Burns IS fast losing favor with
the general public owing to his ex-
eessive demands. The public has at
last awakened to the fact that the willy
Canadian does not care for sportsman
ship and that he is afraid 70 risk his
title by lighting Johnson.
Johnson has the general sympathy
OF the English sporting world and
many are already calling him the
worlds champion. saying that Burns
has lost the title by default. II IS
probable that Johnson will be matched
to fight Bill Sduires. the Australian. at
the National sporting club OF London,
the fight to take place some time in
June
