BILL DYER QUITS
 GRAND OLD GAME

Atlanta, October 29.-Bill Dyer, the Atlanta third baseman, has decided to. quit baseball entirely and give his en- tire attention to practicing law. The Boston Traveller had the following to say regarding it:
 Bill Dyer, the old Holy Cross in- fielder who has been playing on the Atlanta team of the Southern league. is in Boston studying law. He says he is out of baseball forever.
 Yes says Dyer. Il am back here again where the cool breezes blow. at tending lectures in the Boston univer- sity law school 1 am out of baseball for good and all. As soon as l com plete my course in the law school I shall immediately commence practicing, probably here in Boston,
 At any rate I am through with base ball, professional or any other kind"
 Dyer made a wonderful reputation while a student at Holy Cross playing whir1wind game on one of tho strong est teams ever turned out of Worcester college. He suffered long illness in Atlanta last summer which interferred with his playing when he returned to the game. He was one of the most popular players ever identified with the Atlanta team.

FULL FREEDOM FOR
 CATHOLIC VOTERS

Washington, October 29.-National Con- mitteeman Newman of the District of Columbia related tonight a recent conver- sation he had had with Cardinal Gibbons as important, indicating the attitude of the Catholic church in the present cam paign.
 Cardinal Gibbons stated,' said MT. Newman, that he made q rule not to dis cuss party politics in a public manner, nor to disclose his own preference for this or that candidate for office. To do so. he said. would possibly expose him and IL, Catholic church to undeserved criticism.
 .'rhe church does not attempt to control the political votes or political conduct of it's members said the cardinal. ''In the United States, Catholics are to be found in all political parties. and each member of the church is free to think and vote as he pleases on political and economic questions. Any attempt to bring the church into the political arena or make it the champion or opponent of any can- didate or party. does it a grave inJus- tice. .''

RIVAL CANDIDATES
 NEARLY MEET AGAIN
CONTINUED FROM FACE 1)


 we fail to appreciate what governing means. It does not mean oratory. It does not mean the power of debate. It does not mean the advancement of plaus- fble theories. but it means the power of efficient performance.
 When you have popular government, the only method by which 1t can be car ried on is by system of. parties in which the members of the parties sacri- flee many of their non-essential views and agree on a few great principles.
 Comparing the two parties, first, what experience has each had in governing: second what is it that united them to- gether? Is 1t q force that is likely to keep them together in such d way as to give them a fun sense of responsibility to the people at large in carrying on the government? Are the men whom they se- lect for their leaders, statesmen, men with a fine sense of governmental pro- priety and governmental policy? Having made that comparison without regard to the particular principles which they up- hold in the present issues you can usu- ally make up your mind which party you ought to take, because between each presidential election many issues are like ly to arise that can not be submitted to a party crises are likely to come that can not be submitted to the rank and file of the people and you have got to take a party and trust it 10 work those problems out.
 That was exhibited in the record of the

republican party with reference to the Spanish-American war. We determined to end the international scandal at our doors. We went into the war in Cuba and we came out in the Philippines 1O,ON miles away, and we had to decide the ls- sues which were there raised and which were difficult to meet They presented new phases of government that we had never had before, but with William Me- Ilinley at the head with your own Elihu Root to aid him as one of the greatest jurists and statesmen this world has ever seen, with the republican party behind him, with it's solidarity of discipline, With it's intelligence and with courage, those policies were carried through, and they brought credit and glory to the nation, although they were not anticipated. They were not asked in national conventions, and they were not considered in national elections before they had to be decided. I am using that to illustrate that one of the great reasons for the selection of a party is it's proved efficiency its proved cour- age, it's proved experience with reference to all issues of government that may arise.
 Work of Democrats.
 Now what of the democratic party? They had power for four years, but the minute they got into power they began to quarrel over what they should do- Ihey passed free trade bill through one house and than in the next house they made 1t a kind of sectional protective bill, and before they got through it assumed such a phase that Mir. Cleveland. the leader of the party, for whom we all have the highest respect, pronounced that bill an act of perfidy and dishonor, and that broke up the party, and they had to di- vide between free silver and the gold standard tn other words, they showed then, as they would show now if you gave them power, that the only cohesive ness they have is a cohesiveness of oppo- sition to the republican party. They lack efficiency, they lack responsibility to the people for carrying on the government as it should be carried on, and this, my dear friends, without reference to their prin- ciples, and when you get to their princi- ples their acts are even worse"

PUNISH MENT FOR
 STUDENT LAYERS

Los Angeles, Cal, October 2s.-Six students of the Polytechnic High school have been suspended and three others are in danger of sharing the same fate today, because they had branded the foreheads of two students of the Los Angeles High school with nitrate of silver during the initiation ceremonies of the Kappa Delta fraternity a forbidden High school secret society
 The boys who were branded are Frank Rouse and Edgar Lusk. On Lusk's fore head the letters TX. D." were branded On Rouse's forehead were the figures "'o9" Ugly red scars were made, but it is not believed they will be permanent ly disfgured.
 It was learned from the authorities that the beginning of the initiation was at the home of one of the students where there was a pleasant gathering. This was fol- lowed by visit to West Lake park, where Rouse and Lusk were stripped and thrown into the lake. They were taken to a vacant field. where they were bound with wire shackles branded upon the forehead and left to shift for themselves They were finally able to free themselves sufficiently to make their way to neigh boring house, where they secured help in removing the wires which bound them

Acid And AIkali
 In The Stomach
Digests the Food Naturally If In Right Proportion; If Not; Then
 Dvspepsa

Acid and alkali make up the liquid known as gastric juice, which digests your food
 If through abuse of the stomach or weakness of blood or through scores of other causes this gastric juice is not made
 up correctly of acid and alkali, your stomach cannot digest food.
 Such stomach then acts as pit where the food lies, ferments, decays, is thrown off at last, either into the intestines or is vomited from the system.
 If thrown into the ntestines a large proportion of it is taken up and passed into the blood, for the intestines are cov- cred on the inside surfaces with millions of little mouths which are placed there to suck up nourishment for the blood
 You may readily see that if instead of good rich nourishment, there is vile, pois- onous, fermented bile and acid, these same little mouths suck some of it by necessity and pass it into the blood. The
 blood in turn throws 1t off and the sys- tenn is immediately placed in an imperfect
 state.
 The blood is weakened, the tissues lose
 strength the skin becomes diseased and
