Lincoln, July 20.-According to
Democratic leaders who have been to
Fairview and conferred with Bryan,
the ability of the Democratic party to
secure the negro vote in Ohio~wils de-.
pend largely upon the attitude of
Senator Foraker. So long as he re-
mains outside the Republican breast
works, at least as regards Judge Taft,
the Democrats feel assured of large
negro support in that state. Holding
as they do the balance of political
power there being something like
sixty thousand of them, the negroes
in the Ohio campaign will be most
important factor.
To Utilize Taft-Foraker Breach.
Should, however, Foraker become
reconciled, and lend his support to
Taft, it is conceded there is little prob
ability Of enrolling sufficient number
of negro voters in the cause of Demo-
cracy to materially affect the result.
Former Attorney General Frank s..
Monnett of Columbus and e. H. Moore
of Youngstown, who was chairman OF
the last Democratic state convention
in Ohio, are today speeding home after
a conference with Bryan last night,

ton and take every advantage of the

THERE WILL BE MUSIC.
New York Theaters Will Not Be With

New York, April 10.-After all New
York's theaters will not be without or
chestral music next winter. It looked
for a time as If the breach between the
Theatrical Managers association and
the Musical Protective union, which
had formulated new scale of prices
for the services of it's members, would
result In a deadlock and the probable
absence of orchestras from any of the
theaters next season. 1t is now re-
ported, however, that over 800 must
clans have joined the National Union

terms more acceptable to the employ

organizations arranged to be held in q

Max Stefesianoch. a German-Polish
boy, 16 years old, was discharged
from the Santa Fee hospital here two
weeks ago and taken in charge by
the association. His case is peculiar
ly sad, especially considering the fact
that he is a bright and deserving boy,
and still has a happy and Hkable
disposition in spite of his troubles and
misfortunes. Max cannot talk Eng
lish at all. He only understands and
speaks the German and Polish tongues.
He landed from an immigrant
steamer at Quebec six months ago.
He has a brother in Minneapolis who
is in good circumstances. The boy
worked his way up the St Lawrence
river to the lakes. Thence to Chicago
and across the country to the Min
brother turned the boy away from his
home and held his clothes for pay
ment of his steerage passage. The
lad drifted down the Mississippi val
ley to Oklahoma. Last December
while in the town of Call he was run
while lodging between the cars in the
yards His right leg was cut off be-
low the knee. He was brought by
the road to its hospital in Topeka.
The association became interested in
the boy and had guardian appointed
responsible for the boys accident.
made settlement with this guardian.
The association took charge of the
boy two weeks ago and is keeping
him at it's dormitories. He is learn
ing the English language. An effort
will be made to find him good
home The little fellow has a good
face and a merry smile as he limps
briskly about on his crutches. The
rough buffets of the world, his
brothers heart1essness, his own mis-
fortunes and loneliness and ignorance
and friendlessness have not served to
break his spirit or make him sullen
and vicious.
Another case is that of a young
woman who came here a few days
ago from Usage City. She had lost
her pocketbook on the train and
when she applied to the association
the first of the week she did not have
cent of money or a friend or ac-
quaintance in Topeka. There was no
one she could apply to for aid by
telegraph or letter, she said. The as
ISOLATION took her in and kept her in
the woman's dormitory for two
nights. She now has work in a good
home in this city and is well provided
| for.

AssAIIs ALDRICH BILL.
Professor Laughlin Declares 1t Would
Not Prevent q Panic

Chicago, April 10.-The A1drich cur
rency bill, now before the senate, was
subjected to scathing criticism In a lee
ture yesterday by Prof. J. Laurence
Laughlin before members Of the fac
'ulty and students of the University of
Chicago.
Prof. Laughlin is head of the uni
veTsity's department of political econ
omy. He characterized the bill as a
political makeshift' and said it fails
utterly to meet the actual conditions
engendered by a panic, its provisions
showing profound ignorance of the
operations Of credit and banking.
The speaker pointed out that an Is
sue of $500, 100000 would not '.pre-
vent panic" He explained that over
trading and ill judged expansion may
occur under any legislation and is sure
to be followed by collapse of credit.
"But how would an increase of bank
notes mitigate the panfc?" asked Prof.
Iaughlin. ''It would not increase the
reserves and would not increase the
ability to lend"

Chicago. April 10.-Chicago must go
back to the old system OF having mails
transported to and from the postoffice
by wagons instead of through the
bores of the Illinois Tunnel company,
as has been the practice for the last
three years.
Announcement to this effect came
last night from Washington and
caused stir among postoffice Off
Gals. who will now be compelled to
work out an elaborate plan to meet
changing conditions.
Postmaster Campbell was frank in
saying that he was not pleased at the
news Hopes had been entertained, he
declared, that the service of the I'LL
nois Tunnel company, which has an
almost perfect record for doing the
work, would be continued.
The use Of the tunnels will be discon-
tinued June 30 and the task turned
over to Harry G.. Sager and Fred L.
Nickel, who will furnish 50 wagons
and 40 horses for the work. The
change was made by Second Assistant
Postmaster General McCleary at WASH

rUBERCUIAR CAMP AT GROVER.
DIR. Thomas Brunk Says 1t Will Be
Started in Modest Way.

When DIR. Thomas l. Brunk of this
city was approached today regarding
his intention to install a tuberculosis
camp on a ten acre tract he had pur-
chased recently west of Lecompton on
the Kaw river, he said that it was true
that he bought such a tract and ex-
pected to make of it camp for con-
sumptives, but that it was early yet
to make definite announcement of just
what would be done. The doctor was
not seeking for publicity just yet, as
he had not made the showing out at
his camp to justify any big boost. but
it is evident that he means business.
He said:
"I would rather you would print
nothing about it yet until I get the
tract cleared off and my patients out
there. 1 hope to move three of my
patients there next week. 1t Is the
most beautiful spot for such a camp
over this section of the state lately
looking for a location. 1t is right at
Grover, small station west of Lee
compton. The tract is on the banks
Of the Kaw and extends up the bluffs.
I shall have it cleared off and then
erect tents there for my patients. A
camp of this kind has been decided by
the authorities on consumption to be
the best method of treating the white
plague. There is no such camp in the
state of Kansas, but there are plenty
of them in other states. We will have
to make a small beginning. After it
has been proved a success, the tents
will give way to better quarters. We
hope inside of the next year or two to
build an administration building on
this site. However, if 1 can get my
patients out there in tents in this love-
ly and healthful spot the main object
of the undertaking will have been ac-
complished. The trimmings and
pleasant and pretentious quarters will
come later"

sCHAEFER TOO ILL TO PLAY.
His Billiard Match With Sutton or

Chicago. April 10.-The billiard match

the world, billed for May IL between
Jacob Schaefer and George Sutton, will
go by default to Sutton, the challenger,
unless the present champion RECEIVERS
from his serious illness in time to de-

hope. Sutton left last night for Roch-

Schaefer became too ill in Albany to
complete his engagement. Just before
he left Sutton said that, according to
the rules governing the championship
trophy, it would be impossible for him
to agree to a postponement. He said,
however, he would not take sick

A Michigan Man Tells How DR..
Williams Pink Pills Cured
His Indigestion IN the
Only Rational Way.

The symptoms Of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a ravenous
appetite some loathe the sight of food.
Often there is a feeling as of weight
on the chest a full feeling in the
throat. Sometimes the gas presses on
the heart and leads the sufferer to
think he has heart disease. Sick head
ache is a frequent and distressing
symptom.
Experience shows that these trou-
hles vanish just as soon as the stomach
IL made storing enough to digest the
food. In other words, 1t needs a tonic
that will rouse it to do the work OF
changing the food into nourishment.
A very delicate stomach requires
easily digested food but nature never
Intended that the food should be di-
zested before it is eaten. The stom-
ach must be strengthened to perform
its won work and what it needs Is not
food already digested but tonic. The
processes of digestion are controlled by
the blood and nerves. and medical sci
ence has produced no better digestive
tonic than DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
