TloN OF A FALSE REPORT.

an attack upon Judge Taft and the
Roosevelt administration on account
OF the manner In which the negro sol
diers stationed at Brownsville. Tex,
at the time Of the shooting up" of
that place. were dealp with.
came as good news to De-
mocrats In the South, especially. and.
we lelieve, to members OF the party
generally. The report In all proba-
bility was started for the express
purpose Of injuring the party's chance
Of success, for II any one thing could
break the solid South. a stand on the
part Of the Democratic, nominee in ia
sor Of these negro soldiers would do
the work. Mr.. Bryan has nailed the
falsehood without delay, however. and
II probably will do no narm. =.
In the first place. In spite Of Sena-
tor Foraker the negro soldier ques-
ti0n Is q dead issue. Mr.. Taft acted:
he was sustained by the President,
and Congress declinedIto interfere.
In the lsecond place. the people
down this way believe that II Judge
5 Taft ever did one good thing in his
life. 1t .ras when he dismissed from Tie
service the uniformed blacks who ter
rorixed the Texas town. aud their
comrades who shielded them. This
action was approved OF BY Southern
people, Democrats and Republicans.
and the approval ia going to stand no
matter II thousand Forakers talk
. thousand years trying to convince
somebody that the secretary Of war
exceeded his authority.
Hence It would be rank folly on the
part Of . candidate depending upon
TIE vote of the Southern people to
inject q criticism Of the admisistra-
ton In connection with the Browns
vile affair into his campaign speeches
os interviews. The Daily Press does
not know what Mr.. Bryan's personal
views on this question happen to be.
He may or he may not think that the
var secretary exceeded his authority.
But what the nominees opinion on
this subject may he does not matter

even an experienced business man
and student like David Belasco. So
, firmly convinced was Mr. Belasco of
the veracity and reliability of the in
sinuating Australian, that he allowed
himself to be captivated by the swind-
ler's stupendous yarns about the hun
dreds of millions of capital which he
represented, or rather pretended to
represent. He went so far even as to
become Meyers sponsor and to intro
/ duce him publicly as a man of fabu-
lous wealth, who had promised to give
! financial backing to Mr.. Belasco's
plans for building several new the
aires.
BY order OF the park authorities a
census was taken the other day of
squirrels in Central Park. Many
years ago squirrels were numerous in
Central Park and their number in
creased so sapidly thai it became nee
essary to shoot a large number every
year to prevent them from becoming
nuisance 1t was ascertained by
| the census that the number of squir-
rels has greatly decreased during the
last two years, SO much i'll fact, that
it will be necessary to restock Cen
trail Park with squirrels next year.
Two reasons are given to account for
this decrease in the number of SPUR
rels. The squirrels are fed so liber-
ally by visitors that they have prac-
tically abandoned their way of living
| like wild creatures. They have be-
come lazy and inactive and enervated
by their opulent way of living. The
result has been that the squirrels now
do not pair at all or, if they do, raise
much smaller families than hereto
fore. Another cause of their decline
in numbers is that hundreds of them
are run over and killed or crippled by
automobiles every year. The SPUR
rels have become so fat by overfeed-
ing that they are no longer able to
evade automobiles going at rapid
clip.
{. Raiding illicit stills in the Kentucky
mountains is dangerous undertaking
and many a marshal or deputy has
lost his life in the attempt. Equally
dangerous, though from different rea-
sons, seems to be to travel in an auto
mobile while raiding unlicensed sa-
looms in Westchester county. An I'M
der sheriff and two special deputies
started out in an auto the other day
to raid unlicensed saloons i'll that
county and came near losing their
lives After four saloons had been
raided the under sheriff mistook a
stone wall forming the abutment Of a
bridge for the road and ran his ma
chine into it with great force. The
machine was completely wrecked and
the occupants of the vehicle seriously
injured. Raiding saloons is risky

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubies-A Palestine Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
OF Brights disease The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. Il
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Palestine
people testify to permanent cures.
H. F. Brunow, living at 207 Line
street, Palestine, Texas. says: about
four years ago when having severe
spell of backache and sharp, shooting
twinges through the region of my
kidneys, I was advised by a friend to
try Doans Kidney Pills, and did so.
1t took only one box of this remedy
to make complete cure in my case,
and from that day to this there has
never been a sign Of the trouble.

fectiveness of Doan's Kidney Pills

STRAY TOPICS FROM
LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.
*%%%******=****$

New York, Dec. S.-One does not
have to be a hard boiled cynic to
reach the discouraging conclusion
that virtue is its own and only re-
ward Scarcely day passes that
does not supply the most glazing evil
dence in support of that theory. An
honest man, who has become tempo
rarily embarrassed, financially, will
find 1t practically impossible to obtain
even small loan, without going to
one of the numerous loan sharks, who
charge him from twelve hundred to
three thousand per cent year for
the accommodation. On the other
hand, any smooth and INSCRIPTIONS
scoundrel, with a record of fraud and
dishonesty a mile long, will have not
the slightest trouble in obtaining
credit and cash loans to almost any
amount from capitalists who would
not lend dime without ironclad Sc
curity to poor but honest working
man.
Adventures and adventureSSeS by
thousands make more than comfort
able living by sponging on credulous
capitalists and only once in great
while is their rascality exposed. As
a rule, the "stung" millionaires are
only too anxious to hush up the fact
that they were taken in by smooth
fakir and the latter escapes his de-
served punishment. Cases like those
of Mrs. Chadwick. or more recently
of William Abbott Foster and J. Mon
tefiore Meyers are by no means of
rare occurrence.
Foster has lived by his wits for
more than nine years. has swindled
more than 100000 out of capitalists
in New York and elsewhere and, with
his family has lived like a prince in
the royal suite of the Hotel Clar-
endon, without paying a single cent.
Now, that Foster is in Jail. charged
with vagrancy and swindling. his wife
and five children are taken care OF
by the proprietor of the Clarendon
Hotel 1t is remarkable fact that
Foster obtained his funds from minor
capitalists only. John ID. Rockefeller
j. Pierpont Morgan. Andrew Carnegie
and other men of that type were not
so easy marks for the persuasive
swindler.
]. Montefiore Myers, who was ar
rested on the charge of swindling the
other day. seems to be another genius
like Foster His smoothness and per
suasiyeness may be gagged by the
fact that he succeeded in foolins

| thing Some men are known to have
been so completely upset by raiding
but single saloon that they saw
things" and had to be taken to the
hospital.
! There is considerable room for inn
provement in the accommodations Of
fered by the railroads in their large
terminal stations There are news
stands. telegraph offices, insurance Of
| fees candy cigar and flower booths,
shoe shining parlors and score of
other institutions for the accOmmo-
! dation of the travelling public, but not
one of the railroad companies has
ever thought of providing justices of
the peace or ministers to marry pas
sengers upon their arrival at the sta
ton. The other day a couple arrived
| from the west in Hoboken, and for
some reason the young people were
after their arrival in HobOken. The
young man requested a justice Of the
peace of Hoboken by telegram to meet
| the train at the station fully prepared
| to perform the ceremony without de-
| lay. For the purpose of Identification
the justice of the peace was to carry
| his handkerchief in his hand. The af-
| fair turned out in the proper manner,
| but it makes one SILVER to think of
what might have happened if the
! young candidate for marital bliss had
| pounced upon the wrong man, who
! happened to carry handkerchief in
his hand. The New York railroads
are not quite up to date in that re-
spect and should take few lessons
from certain western railroads, par
| ticularly certain line not more than
! a hundred miles from Chicago, which
has made ample provision for just
such emergencies and advertises that
! fact on its excursion posters. 1t is
quite safe to predict that the popu-
larity of the New York railroad line
first introducing this accommodation
would increase enormously They
might even advertise matrimonial ex-
cursions and honeymoon trips to Sc
Guided spots in New Jersey or Con-
necticut.
