And whether the next House be DEM
ocratic or Republican, it will comprise
3s1 men, larger proportion of whom
than ever since the Congressional land
slide of 1894 will be new men. A con-
siderable percentage of the unknown
members of the House, whose names
figure chiefly on the pay rolls and the

ton. The Western constituencies
many of them nominating now by pri-

ary frankness and welcomes the shock

ton without gloves. He meets the issue
raised about the rules of tho House of

Sity for some one to rule there with a
strong hand.
If the House remains Republican Mr..
Cannon of course, will be reelected as
Speaker and the desire to run over the
Speaker and place the control of the
House in the hands of the members
generally will not be allowed to pre-
vail. But the new crop of Western
members; now in prospect, will add to
the strength of the agitators in the
House, who have demanded a change in
the rules and the bestowal of less power
in the Speaker.
This will certainly be something of an
issue in the next Congress as well as
the enactment of legislation. For the

THE RIPLEY. EXPEDITION.
A Good Deal Of Fiction a. to Inciden,

Theodore G. Carter, 7th Mimi, St.
Peter, Mimi, sends refutation of the
story of Serg't Grant. 14th Iowa, as to
the killing of the Colonel of the 12Sth
ILL., by the wife of Col Faulkner, as A.
j. Smiths expedition passed thru Rip
ley, Miss, in July, 1864. Comrade Car
ter says:
"Serg't Grant was correct in every
thing but the few minor matters here
in specified. The Colonel of the l2Sth
ILL., was not shot by woman, nor was
anyone shot by a woman on that ex-
pedition. Neither that Colonel nor his
regiment were present on that march.
Not a Colonel was killed on our side on
that expedition. There was no Gen.
Faulkner in Lee and Forests army
at that time. Col. Faulkner, of the 18th
Ky. (Confederate), was wounded at the
battle on the 14th of July, 1864, and
his horse was killed. He charged up
to within a few yards of our line, where
he was dismounted and wounded, but
was not taken prisoner, nor did the
he had any. Neither did any of our
men kill woman on that expedition.
The wife of Col. Faulkner was at Rip
ley when Sturgis got drunk and sacri-
feed his army at Guntown to one-half
the number, and she was probably in
Ripley when our army passed thru, but
no such tragedy occurred. Col. f. was
not wounded so badly that he could not
walk, and he was complimented upon
his gallantry by Forrest after the bat
tie. Gen. A. J. Smith also reports that
Gen. Faulkner, of Kentucky, was killed,
but as none of his subordinate officers
made any such report to him, it must
have come from the Sergeant Had
any such occurrence taken place both
sides would have mentioned it in the
reports; but no such thing is mentioned
by either side, and the Commander oil
the United Confederate Veterans of the
Camp at Ripley says no such occurrence
took place there. And 1 was there my

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way, and
it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrl
know its miseries. There is no need
of this suffering. Yen can get rid OF
ii by simple, safe, inexpensive, home
treatment discovered by DIR. Blosser
who, for over thirty-four years, has
been treating catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlik' any other
1t Is not spray, douche, salve, cream
or inhaler, but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of them
II cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs so that you can agair
breathe freely and sleep without thai
stopped-up feeling that all catarrt
sufferers have. 1t heals the diseased
membranes and makes a radical cure
SO that you will not be constantly
blowing you nose and splitting, and a
the same time it does not poison the
system and ruin the stomach, as inter.
nal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DIR
j. w. Blosser, 800 Walton street
Atlanta, Ga, and he will send you by
return mail enough of the medicine tc
satisfy you that it is all he claims fol

rocking chair. he noticed what looked like
a bunch of small holes in the middle of the
carpet where most of the walking occurred
On examination he found the entire carpet
literally peppered with holes and in one he
could poke his fingers through. Similar com.
plants are being heard from all sides.
An expert on carpets now rushes 10 the
rescue and says: These holes are done by
carpet-bugs or buffalo bugs. They eat rap.
idly. There is but one thing known that will
destroy them absolutely and that is what is
known as Bug Doom. This is powder which
is dissolved in water. The water is sprinkled
over the carpet 1t never affects the color or
cloth of the carpet. Besides, it is odorless
and colorless. The carpet-bugs will be de-
stroyed and no more bugs will infest your
carpets and rugs. IT is also a wonderful
moth destroyer. Sprinkled clothes it de-
stroys and keeps out moths and has no
0dor. 1t is also an excellent bed-bug and
roach destroyer ] advise everyone to use
the Bug Doom on their clothes furs and car
pets before The moths and carpet-bugs get a
chance at them"

in from many directions about the
many, many Republicans who are 60
ing to vote for Mr.. Bryan this year. If
1t is true that Mr.. Bryan is not as strong
in Ohio, for instance, as Mr.. Harmon
will be for Governor, or in Indiana as
Mr. Marshall will be for Governor, or
in Illinois as ex-Vicc President Steven
Son Will be for Governor, there will be
little chance of Mr.. Bryan carrying any
Of those States, and therefore small
chance of his being elected to the Presi-
dency. But a few months ago Repub-
licans, and even some Democrats, were
saying that Mr.. Bryan was far from
being the best candidate the Democrats
could nominate. The party would not
unite on him. He could not get votes
These theories; have already been well
exploded. 1t may be thus with the
teachings about the relative strength
of Mr.. Bryan and Gubernatorial candi-
dates.
An official of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Jealous for the election of
Mr. Taft, said very recently: 81 come in
contact with a large number of rail-
road men. Usually a very large per-
centage of such men as I meet are Re-
publicans. 1 have not heard one rail-
road man this year, save two or three
very determined partisans, say they
were going to vote for Taft. They are
for Bryan
OF course, the railroad men come
within the class of laboring men whom
the Democrats are very confident this
year of winning After all. the labor
vote is the most important single factor

Republicans will lose a very large por-

1t may be that the success or failure of
the Republican efforts in that particu-
lar will decide the election. The polls
already taken show an enormous 81

operations IF both parties during Oc-
tober will be directed toward that class
Whether the voters are still doubtful
or are silent. because they are keeping
their convictions to themselves, is some
thing the managers would like to know
1t may be that the election has already
been decided in the minds of the Amer

With the housecleaning there has
been in both parties as result of the
Hearst letters and of Mr. Bryan's at
tack earlier in the Summer, it is prob
able that there will be more demands
for thinning out the campaign manage

The fight against Speaker Cannon in
the West is helping in the clamor for
change of members and for new
set of leaders. The West in recent years
has been widely recognizing the impor-
tance of long tenure for its members
of the House. But the long-service Re-
publicans are generally men who are
closely associated with Speaker Cam
