BIG FELLOWS AT 1T.

Roosevelt and Bryan are at It'll.
They are scrappers worth watching,
even from such an interminable dis
ance as little old Astoria.
OF course. we are betting on Theo-
dore, and he carries all the odds we
can stand for. Mr.. Bryan has made a
mistake, just as Hitchcock made a
blunder;; Haskell is not one whit bet
ter than Foraker. And as Mr.. Taft
promptly dealt with an ugly situa-
ton, so the Nebraskan will have to
deal with his mess. Theodore Roose-
welt never yet went after public man
without reason and justification, and
Mr.. Bryan cannot afford to be less
clean and emphatic in his dealings
with questionable people.
1t is an interesting phase Of an
otherwise desultory campaign; desul-
tory because of the foregoness OF
Bryan's defeat.

seawall will not appeal with any par
ticular allurement; and while this may
not figure as an admissible plea
against the great Improvement, it will
certainly operate to the negativing oi
the proposition so long as it will be
effective. And again there are other
thousands OF men who use the open
trestling as highway to boat-berths
and net racks who will disparage the
idea OF the barrier so long as they
may do so decently. They are talk
ing it freely, and he who doubts it
has but to go to Alderbrook or Union
town for quick and specific proof of
the sentiment prevailing.
We admit that there is nothing logi-
cal in such an idea as weighed against
the splendid accomplishment OF the
seawall, but that it exists in definite
shape, is of Importance enough to
warrant its recognition, especially by
those who would force the measure
during this year OF unpreparedness
and with bill that does not even
give consideration to the imperative
and elemental prerequisites OF ad-
ranced street grades and new and
adequate sewer provisions.

CHICAGO TAKES DETERMINED
STEPS TO BLOCK
TACTICS.
KNOWN AS THE WHITE HANDS
kidnapping Cases in the Illinois
Town Grow to Such Large Ex-
tent That the Police Are Unable to
Handle Them Successfully.

CHICAGO, Sept 2+,-The cam
paigu Of the White Hand Society
against the blackmailing and kidnap-
ing Of persons Of the BLACK hand
was renewed yesterday at a meeting
Of the organization at the Italian con-
sulate in the Masonic Temple.
Stirred by the recent kidnapping OF
Giuseppe Giunta, whose father An
tonic Giunta, received several threat
ening letters demanding $500, the
White Hand Society adopted resolu-
tons demanding increased police pro
lection for Italian residents of Chi
ago.
The resolutions allege that the ordi-
nary policeman is powerless to cope
with Black Hand criminals and the
peculiar crimes they commit because
of lack OF knowledge OF the Italian
language and customs,
That the campaign for the suppress
sion TO the Black Hand bids fair to
become an international question was
revealed by an announcement made by
Attorney Malata, who returned re-
Gently from visit to Italy, that the
question had been taken up by Tho
mas Tittoni, Italian minister Of for
eign affairs. Foreign Minister Tittoni
has given -his official approval of the
Chicago White Hand Society and
promised active cooperation in its
work.
The problem OF supprcssing Black
Hand crimes will be taken up inter-
nationally at congress OF delegates
from all Italian colonies in the world,
to be held in Rome beginning Octo-
Der s. The object Of the congress is
to discuss and devise ways and means
for the welfare OF Italian emigrants
in all parts of the world.

ALABAMA REPUBLICANS.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept 23,-At
the meeting yesterday OF the execu-
tive committe Of the Davidson, or an
administration wing of the repub-
lican party in Alabama it was decid-
ed to withdraw all candidates from
the field for state Offices. Followers
of this faction of the party we're urged
to support the nominees OF the
Thopmson or regular wing in the COM
ing election. This apparently re-
moves all strife within the party in
the state, although the organization
will be maintained with an advisory
committee of which w. F. Aldrich is
chairman.

A SURPRISED MINISTER.
Hyomei Cured Bronchial Catarrh Al
ter he Had Given up in Despair.

"For many years have been sui
ferer from bronchial catarrh, and had
despaired Of anything like a cure
Judge of my pleasant surprise when !
first used Hyomei, which brought
complete relief. Hyomei has been a
veritable godsend." Rev. Charles
Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio.
There are many readers of the AS
torian who are suffering from catarrh,
either nasal or bronchial Many OF
these despair of ever being cured.
They have soaked their stomachs with
nostrums until they are disgusted with
all medicines, and are now travelling
their miserable way, allowing the
devilish germs Of catarrh to sap them
Of their health, energy and vitality.
But let us reason together. T. F.
Laurin, the druggist, has guaranteed
remedy for catarrh, and all infamma-
tory diseases of the nose, throat and
bronchial tubes. The name of this
remarkable remedy is Hyomei, and if
it doesn't cure T. r. Laurin will give
you your money back.
Hyomei pronounced High-o-me)
is medicated air; you just brethe it
through the inhaler over the infamed
and germ ridden membrane, and its
soothing antiseptic properties will
aliay the inflammation, destroy the
germs, and restore the entire respi,
ratory tract to its normal conditions
A complete Hyomei outfit, includ-
ing a hard rubber inhaler, costs, but
$1.00, and an extra bottle of Hyomei
if afterwards needed, costs but 81
cents. See T. F. Laurin about it to
day.

The women only could be induced
