BRYAN TO MEET
 TAFT AT FEAST
Annual Banquet Will be One of the Most Notable
 Ever Held

Chicago, Sept. 29. The fourth annual Banquet of the Chicago Association of Commerse, which is set for Oct. ', at the Auditor ium Hotel. promises to be one of the most important and interest ing public dinners ever held in Chicago. The keenest of inter est is being evinced in the affair and the demand for seats is enor- nous.
 So great is the desire of the members of the association to be present that an entirely new method of seat allotment has been found necessary. The seats are to be placed on sale this week and because of the demand for accommodation at the banquet, which is to bring together Taft and Bryan, it has been found necessary to engage the Great Northern Theatre for the plan of allotment adopted.
 Not only will the presidential candidates of the two great par ties be present as guests of honor, but there will be a third guest of honor = Theodore P. Sho n t s. Each of the three will make an address. Taft and Bryan will not touch on political questions.

BAD ON THE FISH

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 30. - Should Bryan be elected presi- dent of the United States, there will be dead fish all along the banks of the Arkansas river for days after the announcement has been made. In the yard of the State house is an old cannon, mounted on pile of bricks, and which, for the part it took in the Brooks-Baxter war when 1t was trained on the state house. be- came known as ''Old Lady Bax- ter" This old gun has the bore of a six inch cannon, and has been an ornament in the state house grounds ever since the ks-Baxter fued, but if Bryan is elected, the old gun will come again into service. Col. Colquitt, of the auditors office, volunteers to be the gu ner on that occasion, and if Bryan comes under the wire a winner, the state house force will load the old gun on a harpe anchor if in the river. and Col Colquitt will charge the can non as he did others in the civil war. though with a heavier charge, and apply the fuse which will wake the natives of the farthest hills in Arkansas.

times in succession. happening to find
the party "oui" every time. they will
almost conclude to blame 1t on the tcic

failure. The persistent person will call
up "a sixth-or twelfth-time, and will
eventually find the party sought,
In want advertising some people ex-

PULP AND PAPER PRICES.

(I'rom the Hartford CourantD
The ma iority of the congressional COM
mittee on the wood pulp and newspaper
question have done just what they were
expected to do and just what the trust
managers have been scheming to have
them do; they have reported in favor OF
doing nothing. They do not make this
recommendation out and out. for that
wouldn't do; they advise delaying until
after the present session is over. They
merely report progress, to the eject that
no evidence Of combination has been
produced and that an increase OF price
was justified.
Whoever has tried to buy paper knows
that there has developed just the situa-
ton that combination would develop
It Is notorious in the trade. All the Incl
dental combinations are there in plain
sight. The price has been arhitra rily
showed up. All hands have givvn II
shove. Competition has disappeared, II
that is not combination. what is it,
Through the efforts Of Herman Rid
der Of the Stats Zeitung of New York
and John Norris of the New York Times
the committee was flooded with evidence.
But this didn't convince the majority be
cause the manufacturers denied the fact
Of a combination. 1t was plainly nat
ural coincidence. Wait. is what the com
mittec say. but sweat is what the pub
fishers will do
Those who have been active in the
movement for the relief OF paper con-
sumers say that, IL they might tell the
inside facts. they would make some
mighty interesting reading But presum-
ably no such imprudence will he INDUCED
in. II would not be popular with Con-
gress The trust people must be smiling
these days with the refusal to do any
thing toward preserving the forests and

Chester H. BrouShn, by his next
| friend. VS.. l.. O. Allen. Tho plaintiff
| and his mother came to Middlebury
from Chicago in the spring of 1907
and after a short time BrouEhn, who
at tho time was only a little more
than 90 years of age. made a trade
with L. o. Allen for a pair of horses
and paid s65 towards the purchase
price Of 1920. The payment was made
| in a check signed by tho plaintiffs
mother. Broughn became dissatisfied
with his trade and never paid any
more on the horses, neither did ne ever
have them in his possession. He now
| sues to recover the amount paid or
| the ground that he was a minor. not
| having become OF age until January :
last. The defense will claim that tn,
| money paid belonged to the PLAINTIFF
| mother and that he was acting as he,
| agent. The case will probably be nm

Russell of Middlebury represent the
plaintiff and I. H. LaFlcur and J. B
