II will need Little Sand Occasionally
For Some Time.
The sand hill road which was built
south Of tows recently, had the finishing
touches put to II today and all that 1t
needs now 10 rain and travel, with
little sand added at places occasionally
and all there Is to supplying the sand is
to run grader along to throw the sand
to the center.
Some have the impression that too
much sand has been put on top Of the
soil used In building the road. 1t should
be remem bered that Mr.. Spoon, the
government expert, has had years of
experience. He has watched these roads
wear. and he knows how they should be
built. This road, he says, will last for
twenty years. It will not be at Its best
until there Is more rain, and more sand
pressed into the soil. II Is not . new
experiment with him. he has the record
on many Of these roads, and he certainly
ought to know just what kind Of road
this will make and.how long it will last.

ible up to short time ago, is now a

Tor heavy loads, but 1t will be getting
better all the time II the instructions Of
Mr.. Spoon are carried out 1t Is to the
credit of the board Of commissioners, to
Mr.. Sughrue and others who have taken
a personal interest In 1t, and to all who
have contributed to 1t financially that
such splendid example 10 road building
has been given. This work. too, is be-
Ing followed up by more work in the
southeast part Of the county. The
interest should be kept alive until all
roads In Ford county are "good roads,.

The nerves are delicate wires that en-
able you to feel pain. If you poison
your nerves with drugs you can't feel
the pain until the stupor wears OFF.
Then the pain comes back and you have
to repeat the dose until Nature removes
the cause.
If you have a pain in your back. you
can stop it for few hours by stupefy-
ing the nerves with poisonous drugs.
Blu. to cure that pain you have got to
remove the cause. That pain is some
times caused by kidney trouble. So
cant you see that to remove the cause
you must restore the kidneys to "a healthy
condition.
The reason the kidneys, liver, stom-
ach OF other organs become weak or
dsbilitated is because they lack cleo
tricity. This must be restored, either
artifeislly or by Nature, before they can
do their work properly.
Weakness in men is caused by an
exhaustion of electricity. Get back that
force and you will have your strength.
My Electro-Vigor pours a stream of
electric life into your nerves while you

BURNING SCHOONER
 RESCUED AT SEA

New YorK, November LA story of fire at sea and timely rescue was brought to port tonight by tue steamer Admiral Schley from Port Antonio. The Admiral Schley has on board the captain and crew of the four -masted schooner Lulie T. Pollard which was bound for New York from Fernandina with a cargo of lumber and which was burned at sea last night
 Capt. J.. c. Powell of the schooner told the story of the disaster. It was at D o'clock yesterday afternoon, he said when the schooner was in latitude 35:30, longi- tude 74:10, that the steward struck a match in the engine room to light the side light Immediately there was an ex- plosion which set fire to the entire for ward house. containing two tanks of gas oline which was used to supply the boistiug engine. The mate, who was sit- ting on the doorstep of the engine room and the steward, were thrown on deck hut both miracuously escaped unhurt. The fire spread rapidly and the seamen fled to the stern without saving any of their effects. Had it not been for the timely arrival of the Steamer Admiral Schley which reached them about 45 minutes after the fire started they might all have pershed as it would have been impossible for a life boat to live in the high sea. The Pollard was owned in Philadelphia

TAFT MAKES FINAL CA
 GRAB AT LABOR VOTE
BRYAN IS SURE THAT HE
 WILL WIN IN ELECTION

Chicago, November 1.-Confdent Of the victory at the election on Tuesday ". J. Bryan, democratic candidate for President, left Chicago today for a tour tomorrow through Kansas. To- morrow night he expects to reach his home at Lincoln, Neb., where he will participate in a 'home demonstration"
 Mrs. Bryan left the candidates spe- cial train here today and went direct to Lincoln. More than a dozen boxes of flowers, which had been given her during the trip through Indiana on Saturday, were taken home by Mrs. Bryan.
 Before leaving Chicago MT. Bryan said: q do not care to make any list of states in estimating the result of the election for, while I think that the result is more certain in some states than in others, I should not want to discourage democrats in the less cer- tain states by making discriminations.

Kobe, Japan, November 1.-The recep- ton which was accorded the visiting bus mess men from the Pacific coast of the United States today on their arrival here was of a most enthusiastic nature, and attended by scenes of popular demonstra- tions such as have not been observed here since the exciting days of the Japanese Russian war.
 Today the Americans, accompanied by the governor of this province and many high municipal and provincial officials, were entertained on a trip about the beautiful inland sea of Japan, the excur- sion being made in a steamer especially chartered for the occasion. Returning, the party visited the stocllyards and many large industrial plants near the city. To- night the feature of the entertainment was a large torchlight procession.
 The Americans have been greatly im- pressed not only with what they have

TAFT RESTS FROM
 HIS HARD LABORS

Buffalo, N Y., November 1.-Judge w. attended morning church service at the First Presbyterian church with Ansley Wilcox, long time personal friend, at whose home here President Roosevelt took the oath of office after the death of President Mckinley; went to the Will cox home for luncheon; later devoted some time to that portion of his core spondence which could not be delayed and retired early in his suite of rooms at the Iroquois hotel.
 The last day of the campaign tomorrow will be devoted by the candidate to mak- ing speeches at Dunkirk, N. r.; Ashta- bula, Cleveland and Youngstown. O.. after which he will proceed during the night to Cincinnati, where he will arrive at 8 o'clock election morning.
 q feel g. little weary, but in as good physical condition as ever in my life, is the diagnosis of himself made by the judge tonight
 That the strain has been great and the work wearisome there is ample evidence, Judge Taft has had a special train throughout It has been in charge of Col. Daniel Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms of the United States Senate, and has trav- eled 15,O00 miles.

THOUSANDS OF VOTERS
 ARE GOING HOME TOV OTE

Washington, November 1.-Such an exo- dus from the national capital of voters entitled to the right of franchise in va rious states has not been known in any political campaign since that of 1896, as has been taking place in the last four or five days. A careful canvass of the several executive departments showed up to noon yesterday, that approximately 3700 voters already had gone to their homes and many hundreds more left Washington last night and today. It is estimated that 1500 more will leave for nearby states tonight and tomorrow, as hundreds of bureau and division chiefs and clerks reside in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York.
 President Roosevelt, Secretary Loeb and several White House attaches, holding voting residences at Oyster Bay or other places in New York, will leave Wash ington tomorrow night. All members of

REPUBLICAN LEADERS
 ARE VERY BADLY SCARED

Washington. November 1.-(Special) President Roosevelt was in communica- tion with Judge Taft and National Chairman Hitchcock tonight. At late hour no statement was forthcoming at the White House. The statement given out by Judge Taft tonight in vain at tempt to win the labor vote was read to the President and approved by him. Labor leaders attach no importance to it, dismissing it by saying that the re- publican platform was dictated by Judge Tafts friends and as labor's de mands were considered of so little im- portance at the Chicago convention 1t is too late to amend the party's plat form by promises of remedial legisla- tion.
 It is reported that the President wanted to give out another Rockefeller

the cabinet are now in their respective states except Secretaries Wright and Met calf. The former failed to register in Tennessee and the latter is confined to his residence by serious illness
 The unusual number of government em- ployes who this year are embracing the opportunity of their ballots, indicates the intensity of interest taken in Washington in the result of next Tuesdays election. While the presidency, of course. is the overshadowing issue in the minds of cleo tors generally, thousands of them are interested keenly-many of them personal ly-in the result of congressional cam paigns in districts throughout the coun- try Particular interest is manifested in Washington in the candidacy of Speaker Cannon Telegrams from the speaker to friends here express confidence in the re- suit of Tuesdays ballot, not only so far as he himself is concerned, but also as to the republican national ticket. MT Cannon expresses the belief that the re- publicans will have in the House of the Sixty-first Congress a comfortable work ing majority.

believe that we shall have votes to spare in the electoral college and a considerable majority of the popular vote."
 Speaking of his delay in reaching Chicago Saturday night MT. Bryan said:
 'The trip arranged for Saturday was long one, with a large number of stops. The meetings were unexpectedly large; and in some places the speaking stands were some distance from the station. We had to ride slowly through the crowded streets to reach the stands. Then there were three changes of railroads. Finally our locomotive broke down and the substitute engine had to be turned around at the next station and that caused a delay. I never before had such series of de- lays in this campaign.
 "I am very much pleased with the re- ports I have had from Illinois I be- 1ieve that the republicans of this state have an unpleasant surprise coming when they read the returns from their state on election day"

ADLER WILL COME
 BACK FOR TRIAL

New Orleans. November 1.--Attorneys for William A. Adler, former president of tie defunct State National bank of New Orleans. today gave out q statement con- firrins the reports that Adler was com- ing back from Honduras to stand trial on an indictment against him in the United States court.
 Adler suddenly left New Orleans last year on the steamer Alps. which he load ed with full cargo of supplies from the Adler Wholesale Grocery company. Almost immediately after his departure the grocery company went into the hands Of a receiver with a long list of New York creditofs. and this was soon fol- lowed by the liquidation of the State Na- tional bank. In his flight to Honduras the steamer Alps was wrecked off the coast oi HoAduras. but Adler and his son got ashore with small iron safe. An exam instion of the affairs of the bank by . United States inspector resulted in indIct. ments against Adler for illegal oonduoA in administering the loans of the bank ].

statement tonight, but the party man. agers objected to it on the ground that further agitation could serve no good end. Frank Kellogg may have some thing to say with reference to past and future Standard oil prosecution, but a statement of this kind would be issued so palpably for political effect as to have no weight.
 It is undeniable that the bluff and spirit of cocksureness which has per vaded republican official circles here has been distinctly on the wane for the last three days. It is admitted by men who are in the counsels of the Presi- de'tt that MT. Tafts election, far from being a certainty, Is a matter of the gravest doubt. There is reason to be- lieve that Chairman Hltchcock's in side figures show doubtful column of states that would easily elect MT. Bryan.

FALSE REPORTS
 ON BETTING ODDS

Washington, November 1.-(Special.) There has been little betting of con sequence in Washington on the result of the election. The few wagers on the general result have never exceeded to l on Taft. Reports of 10, z and 3 to 1 on Taft are purely mythical. There is also another view to be taken of the Lloyd insurance matter, which repub- lican papers are displaying. If any such insurance of "9 to 1 against Bry- an' has been actually issued. and it is believed there has not been, it is an excellent argument against the dis aster," the republicans are bowling about in case of democratic victory. This insurance at a to 1" Is against business loss by reason of MT. Bryan's election. and, therefore. sh ows that this great English concern Is so sure there will be no depression on that account IS to offer "9 to r thereon.

GOVERNOR COMER BURNED IN EFFIGY

Chattanooga, Tenn, November IA that the people of Larkinsville, a small village near that place. had a meeting there last night and burned Governor Conner in effigy. Their indignation was aroused over the refusal of the governr to appoint Walker McCutcheon, son of the late Judge w. w. McCutcheon, to the probate judgeship made vacant by the death of Judge McCutcheon.
 Probably POO people. worked up to high pitch of excitement, participated. Lar kinsville had been almost unanimously for the appointment of McCutcheon, but Gov ernor Conner named J. J. Williams of Section as his appointee. There is no feeling against the new judge as he is considered one of the best men in the county.
