The awful extravaganza, everywhere
about us, Is contagious. and II re-
Qulres the wisdom OF a philosopher
and the self-denial Of an adept to rise
about II. Women really sensible at
heart and anxious 10 do the right
thing for their families are yet af-
fected by the atmosphere OF luxury
which permeates the land. and are led
into folly and extravaganza which
bring ruin and disgrace.
Only recently heard OF a wife,
whose husband has an income OF S4.-
600 year. complaining OF her "poy-
erty," and consulting all her friends
10 know what she could do to earn
money. She has pleasant home,
keeps a capable maid. and is the mo-
Their OF a lovely child. She dresses
we'll and has many pleasures.
But her heart is full OF wild dis
content. She wants weath-great
wealth, and she enjoys nothing she
has in longing for what she has not.
1t Is this order OF woman who fire.
quently drives her husband into being
defaulter or forger.
Almost invariably behind every
great crime committed for money
stands the extravagant wife or mis-
tress.
Knowing all this, my correspondent
Is justified in thinking carefully before
he establishes a home.
But IL he Is sure that he has found
the right kind OF woman, he Is safe
TO proceed.

Ludwig jumped the car away at sec

westward along Kensington-gore,

JUST 4 FRIENDLY VISIT
Mir. Taft With Evident De- signs On the Solid South is
 In Kentucky With the In-
 tention of Penetrating Still Further In That Direction.

Plattsmouth, Oct. 15-Wm. J. Bryan closed a three days speechmaking tour in his home state with a large meeting in this city tonight, feeling that Nebraska can be safely counted in the democratic column this year by a larger majority than he received in 1906 It has been a notable day both in point of the number of speeches made, the size of the crowds addressed and the viborous manner in which he spoke to his audiences.
 A large portion of the day was spent in his old congressional dis trict and the enthusiasm which pre- vailed in his tour of the state was intensified by the fact that these peo- pie gave him his first political dis tinction and have followed him with increasing confidence as he has fought his way up the ladder Today they showed their affection for him by demonstrations at every station and by crowds such as the towns had never seen before.
 The trip throughout the state was not planned because there was any doubt about Nebraska" he said. Tt was because the democrats have been so loyal to me that I was not willing to let the campaign pass without vis- iting them
 After the meeting at PlattsmOuth tonight, Bryan took train for Den yer where he will speak tomorrow. While physically he was tired he was jubilant over the outlook in his own state.

Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. 15-The fire losses are now estimated at S75O,O0O. The citizens of the camp have raised several thousand dollars for relief and
 have deicded that outside assistance of which there have been numerous of fers will not be necessary. Commit
 tees of prominent citizens. working with the Salvation Army have provid-
 ed shelter, food and clothing for 800
 homeless people None were without shelter the night following the fire and the situation is well in hand. Many landlords having vacant houses have told the homeless to move in regardless of rent, while all rents have been lowered instead of raised.
 Arrangements are already being made to rebuild practically all of the busi-
 ness houses destroyed in a more sub
 stantial manner The residence sec ton will also be rebuilt, but not so rapidly.
 Two hundred thousand dollars of the loss is covered by insurance Several of the business houses totally destroy ed by the flames have already estab- lished temporary quarters, while oth- CTS have stretched tents over the burned area and are conducting busi-
 ness from them. Members of the Sal vation Army from Douglas. Tucson and Fl Paso are assisting in the re-
 lief of the sufferers.

Louisville. Ky, Oct 15.-Acting on the declaration that the south is a part of the union and as such is en- titled to be considered in the na- tional election" MT. Taft spent the day talking in the towns and cities of Kentucky He is the first re- publican presidential candidate who ever came to the Blue Grass state. He will be the first republican pres idential candidate to carry his cam paign into North Carolina and Vir- ginia, which he intends visiting in the next two days.
 His reception has been typical of southern hospitality. The attention he received while expounding republican doctrines was such as to indicate more than a passing interest. The candidate made many references to his reception during the day.
 For the second time since his work on the stump began. Mir. Taft made reference to the government guaranty of bank deposits, which MT. Bryan is engaged in urging in the west.
 That Judge Taft will not permit antagonistic interruptions while ad- dressing an audience was illustrated at Shelbyville, where his special ar rived at dark. He spoke in a hall which was crowded and as he pro ceeded there were persistent cries of Bryan

Camp Atascadero, Oct. 15.-A heavy drizzle dampened the spirits at Camp Atascadero this morning to such an extent that the recall from camp head quarters was welcomed by the troops that had prepared for the maneuvers.

 The lowering clouds of the morning were dispelled by neon and as a result the regular troops took the field in va rious exercises The machine guns under Captain John Parker hammered all day with ball ammunition against lines of lying, sitting and standing tar gets, developing a new use and method of fire for such weapons. The results were highly gratifying. one string of twelve shots making II hits at 1700 yards This is believed to be the rec ord for accuracy at that range.

THE THRILLING FLIGHT
 OF GERMAN AERONAUTS
They Threw Themselves Into the Sea to Avoid Going Farther.

Berlin, Oct I5.-The two German aeronauts whose rescue was reported today had thrilling experiences and a narrow escape, but none are the worse for their adventures. After the start from Berlin their balloon dTifted
 towards southern Russia and was then driven to the northwest. The
 men saw that they were passing over
 Cuxhaven and finding that they were being carried too far to the north
 they decided to descend. and early
 Tuesday morning at a point about ten
 miles from Heligoland they dropped their balloon into the sea.
 This was after they had sighted
 the steamer Prince Wilhelm and sig
 naled to her. The steamer chased the
 balloon for some distance until she
 was close to it. Then she launched
 small boat The balloon with pilots on top of it and the car dragging be- low was driven rapidly over the wat CT. The two men were in the water half an hour before they were finally dragged to safety in a small boat.
 It is estimated that they travelled 435 miles before they came down.

All Sailors on Leave Recalled to Their Vessels.

 All the sailors of the home fleet, absent from their ships on liberty, have been suddenly recalled. Inas- much as the reason for this is not asserted, the order has caused con- siderable excitement.
