the country than all other diseases put

great many years doctors pronounced it d
local disease and prescribed local RENE

with local treatment, pronounced il in

be a constitutional disease and therefore

BUT FEW AGAINST CANNON
Charles r. Davis viii Not Vote For
Uncle" Joe, Anyway.

Washington: Nov. 5.-Republican
members of the house of representa-,
tives elected yesterday who are pledged
to vote against Speaker Cannon for
another term number about eighteen
What will they do in view of the
large majority in the house and the
very substantial majority which Gun
Gle Joe"' himself received yesterday
at the hands of his neighbors?
An easy way out for the insurgents, >
as they will doubtless be called, will
be to simply go into the republican
caucus with candidate of their own,
vote for nim, and after being defeated
by Cannon, to fall in line. But some
of the antiCannon members have gone
so far as to say they will not vote
for him for speaker, even if nominated
by the caucus. Congressman c. R.
Davis is one, and Kincaid, of Nebraska,
is another.
These, and possibly other members
who will not vote for Cannon, will
probably remain outside the caucus. 1t
is believed that strong effort will
be made to induce Congressman Theo-
dore E. Burton, OF, Ohio, to become a
candidate, but with Cannon's large ma
jority, it is hardly probable that Mr..
Burton, will consent
Jonn j. Esch, of the La Crosse, Wis,
district, may be the man upon whom
the anti-Cannon members will unite.
He is personally popular, and would
get the eighteen or twenty opposi-
ton votes that now are in sight.
In view of the fact that there is
to be an early extra session of the
Sixty first congress, the organization of
the house will be commenced at once.
The present organization will seek to
continue in the saddle -

this morning, from some unknown
cause. The barn was' formerly Mr.
Kruger's, but recently he sold it to
Mr. Maher, who was preparing to move
it off and had prepared the founda-
tion.
Mr.. Maher was in the barn at 6 a.

he was hauling wood from the coun-
try. Fifteen minutes after he left,
the fire was discovered, and an alarm
quickly brought out the fire COM

was partly filled with hay and made a
hot fire, but the fire company saved
adjoining property and some wood piled
close to the barn.
The loss is about $3.50, and the in

GreWSOme Records in the Hands
Of Chicago Coroner.
LAST SPEECH OF MURDERERS
Instead Of Writing Words In Long
Hand, Photograph Brought to
Bear, Statements Saved.

Chicago, Nov. ll.-That grewsome
figure of speech, Listening to voice
from the grave" has become a start
ling reality.
ANY unbeliever. to verify this state
ment, has only to visit the office of
Coroner Hoffman some time in the
near future, and hear the voices of
murderers make their last denials or
detailed concessions after they have
paid the penalty for their misdeeds.
These voices of the dead are to be-
come portion of the county records.
The verbal statement of a man who
is dead seldom finds its way into
courts. at present, except as repeated
by another, but this is one of the
promises of the new system.
Discovered the Possibilities.
Coroner Hoffman discovered all of
these possibilities when a few days
ago, he installed battery of phono
graphs to be used with his steno-
graphic force. The monographs have
already been used in one important
case-that of Mrs. Fannie Thompson,
who was strangled in Michigan ave-
nue. rooming house.
There was long row of the wax
cylinders, and each had its own story
to tell. Some of them related to in
juries of men and women who had
fallen from trains or street cars, some
of suicides, and others of the va
rious cases which reach the coroner.
In corner of the room in which
the coroner preserves the voices, sat
young woman, whose busy fingers
were transcribing the words of va
rious witnesses to paper for duplicate,
which are kept just as the old ones
were.
What Caused the Act.
The coroner brought this novel
means of taking testimony into play
first because of restrictions as to
stenographers which were placed upon
his office by law Originally the
deputy coroners were called to write
all testimony out in long hand. Cor
oner Hoffman, however, convinced the
state legislature that this method was
inadequate, and has obtained permits
sion to hire a stenographer This
stenographer now is aided by the rec
ords just as they are used in business
houses. The coroner believes they
may be of great use in court.

system is that the plan will offer that 1nducement,
And nasmuch as it is the intention to limit the
amounts which the postal savings banks Will take
on deposit, it is argued that the habit OF saving
will rebound to the benefit of the regularly cons-
tuted savings banks. and that their deposits must
inevitably grow as the people grow more thrifty
1t is an interesting problem Inc financial
troubles of the nation all due TO the TACT tha
money goes into hiding when hard Tunes come on
but whether it is the money of the common people
or the money of the wealthy has never been dis
covered The three and half billions or savings
deposits represents largely the savings OF the com
mon people And if that amount is suddenly with
drawn from the channels of trade the effect is al
most instantly felt in the business and financial
world
If the system as proposed by the advocates of
the postal savings banks will keep the peoples
money where they get it, and where they
be sure it is SAFE it looks to the layman that it
would be a good thing for the people. The gov,
eminent would of course, have to inaugurate the
scheme and would have to make investment Of the
funds placed on deposit, which problem is one for
the advocates of the plan to work out From re,
ports received from countries where the postal sys-
tenn has been in force for a number of years it
seems that they have figured out the proper meth
cd of investment. We await the outcome of the
proposition with interest, and only regret that this
like great many other problems of government,
has been placed a partisan basis The people
ought to have chance to vote on the subject with
out seeming to endorse any other thing which the
political parties uphold. That would make for 9
government by the people rather than government
by political parties.
