CUPID AFLOAT IS
KEPT VERY BUSY

NEW YORK, Sept 15.-There will
be great doings today aboard the float
ing hotel, Jacob Stamler, and as a re-
suit John Arbuckle, coffee and sugar
magnate, will be $500 poorer. Mr.. Ar
buckle will present 500 bill to each
of five young couples; which will today
entar upon the troubled seas of matri-
mony from the deck of the aquatic
hostelry. All of the brides-to-be and
bridegrooms- elect are $3.50 a week
guests Of the deep sea caravansary
where worthy people are boarded at
cost by Mr.. Arbuckle.
And each bride will bring a dowry
of 800 to her husband, which is
where Mr.. Arbuckle comes in.
If one of his young women guests
will marry one of his young men
guests on board and if she has quail
fed for matrimony by taking course
of cooking and plain and fancy wash
ing and ironing, then the coffee and
sugar magnate contributes 500 as q
wedding present.
There hasn't been as much rice pud-
ding served at meals on the Stamler
since news of the quintuple wedding
got around. The guests said they would
have their rice raw, please, for they
would have use for it later on, and
they mean to make the old ship look
like a floating granary at the proper
moment. Old shoes also have been
carefully laid away where they can be
reached handily.

trict, was his filing fee Of SO.
Z. NJ. Mckinney, who was nOminat-
ed on the democratic ticket for JUS
tice of the peace expended but the
filing fee, $12.
Everett j. Smith, who had a hard
fight for the nomination for prose-
cutting attorney, expended $67,2O, the
newspapers of the county having re-
ceived $50 of that amount Cards cost
him SO, the filing was SIC. and the

Plenty For Mr.
Taft to Explain

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15.-Bryan
while here on his eastern tour, today
accused Taft of evading the issues in
the statement issued from Cincinnati

was like his public speeches, that he
dealt with generalities. He says there
is much for Taft to explain regarding
his record in the Philippines, particu-
larry the Benguet road systems and
the perpetual franchise with perpet-
ual guarantee income.

such a thing as a person getting so
fat when done up in a plaster cast

doctor declared that the occurrence
was BY no means phenomenal.
Many illnesses do not result in
emaciation. especially down in this
part OF town" he said. Scores OF
poorly fed patients that are brought
to the hospital in a skinny condition
take on flesh amazingly while under
treatment. This is especially notice
able in the case Of an accident where
a plaster cast is necessary. Then the

thus incased increases in size under
hospital fare. until the patient Is in
positive pain from the pressure and
has to be relieved with a larger cast.
