ANOTHER CUMMINGS
IN DIVORCE COURT

The name Cummings" familiar
one In the proceedings Of the local d.
vorce court, was again heard in Judge
Don0yan's room Tuesday morning,
Whole Neomi Cummings asked for a
decree from her husband, George
Cummings, The husband is brother
of Tom Cummings, whose handsome
wife. Grille Doumouchelle Cummings,
obtained a divorce several months
ago.
Mrs. Cummings charged that her
husband was habitual drunkard,
spending so much for drink that he
was unable to support her, or to hold
a Job. She alleged that he remained
away from home frequently all night,
while drinking, and more than once
struck her.
The husband put In no defense. but
he fled an answer sometime ago In
which he made a general denial of
his wife's charges.
The evidence In the case promised
to be somewhat sensational, but Judge
Donovan promised the wife a decree
before much of the testimony was In

a charge without proof, and ! re-
specially request. therefore. that
you furnish any proof which you
have in your possession. or II you

Without consulting Mr.. Haskell.
I will agree that he Will appear

a maximum Of $4,000 for indi-

tributions above 800, and the
committee acted favorably upon
this request. The Republican
candidate and the Republican ma

publication before the election,
but publication after the election.

STYLISH HATS
ARE ON DISPLAY
sEMl.ANNUAl MILLINERY OPEN.
ING AT HUDsoN's ATTRACTS
BIG CROWDS.

The semi-annual opening Of the mil
linery department OF the J. l.. Hud
son store began Tuesday, and all day
patrons OF this establishment crowded
the show rooms to inspect the new
styles and make selections from the
big stock.
Since the Hudson store has been re-
modelled, the millinery department has
had ample room for the display OF
goods, so that the very latest styles
In the various shapes and prices may
now be seen arranged on the tables
and cases. A casual glance would
seem to indicate that nothing but the
very big hat, much larger than OF
the season Just past, would be modfsfi,
but the American woman is distinct
from others In that she refuses to
wear a shape or style simply because
II is the style. II certain style
doesn't suit her fancy. she refuses
absolutely to wear It, and for this
reason the wholesalers have sent out
a variety of the smaller chapeaux
for the woman who finds that the
huge hats are unbecoming. On the
whole, however, the hats are larger
and more complicated than ever.
Satin, beaver and beaver cloth. TO-
gether with velvet and felt, will be
much In evidence in the construction
of hats, while the high crowned style
has a close second In the low, fiat
crown. Peacock blue. taupe and black
and white are leaders In colors. while
wings. ostrich plumes and airgettes,
together with buckles will be highly
favored for trimming.
The millinery department OF this
store has always been a popular one.
and the interest shown In the autumn
opening Of 1908 would indicate that II
would continue TO be so. The open
ing continues through the week

STANDARD OIL eRIeER, LAT
TER WILL BE DROPPED.

William j. Bryan, Democratic can
didate for president. sent a lengthy
telegram to President Roosevelt, Tues
day. demanding that the president
produce proof OF the charges against
Gov. Haskell. OF Oklahoma. which the
president Endorsed in a statement Civ
en- out Monday. The charges impli
cate Gov. Haskell In an alleged at.
tempt TO bride former Attorney Gen
eral Monnett, OF Ohio. AS Gov. Has
kell Is treasurer OF the Democratic ma
tional committee and as such is very
close to Bryan. the latter regards the
presidents Endorsement of the charges
as a reflection on him. The telegram
Is as follows:
Detroit. Mich, Sept, %, 1908.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
President Of the United States.
Dear Sir:
In a statement given out by you
yesterday, and published IN this
mornings papers, you indorsed
charge made against Gov. Has
kell, OF Oklahoma. TO the effect
that he was once In the employ OF
the Standard Oil Company. and.
-as-sHeA- e@ployer WAS connected
with an attempt to bribe or infiu-
-enee- Attorney General MenHett,-
of Ohio, to dismiss suits pending
against the Standard Oil company.
In indorsing this charge you at
tack the Democratic party and Its
candidate. saying that GOV.
Haskell stands high in the coun-
ellis of Mr.. Bryan and Is the treas
urer of his national campaign
committee" And you add that
"the publication OF this cores
pondence not merely justifies In
striking fashion the action of the
administration. but also casts
curious side-light on the attacks
made upon the administration,
both in the Denver convention,
which nominated Mr.. Bryan, and
In the course Of Mr.. Bryan's cam
pagn."
Your charge Is so serious that
I cannot allow 1t to go unnoticed.
NGov. Haskell has denied that he
was ever employed by the Stand
ard OIL Company In any capacity
or was ever connected In any way
whatever with II or with the
transaction upon which your
charge Is based.

vestigation at the time the charge
was first made. offering to appear
and testify, and he demands an In

A Few Samples OF what He Thinks
of His Contemporaries.

papers and what a view of life Is
upfolded. We will not discuss just
now their mendacity. their exploita-

the fact that their money is made
largely out of advertising that Is

limited point we have in mind-their
treatment of public men who OBJ

Mr.. Roosevelt is a baboon.
Mr.. Roosevelt is "A servant of the

Mr.. Chanler is servant of tho

Mr. Bryan is a donkey, raven,

Charles J. Bonaparte is a "cab

The farmers themselves are awake
to the importance OF preventing fur

land. and the statistics ON which T.
will base its report are practically
all in hand.
Two exceedingly interesting ques-
tions upon which the section Is
gathering data are whether the ten.
dency is towards larger or smaller
farms and whether soil productive
ness per acre is increasing or de.
creasing. The answers to these ques
tions are not only vital at present
since they will indicate whether
there is a noticeable trend towards
monopoli2ation OF the soil ana
whether the diminution of fertility

in some districts is general, but
the, are peculiarly significant In
connection with the prediction that
within half n century the population
OF the United States will reach
200 900 600.
James j. Hill. the railroad organiz-
er, who presented some startling
figures on soil waste at the white
house conference of governors last
May, said recently that all the
natural resources of the country put
together will not be able to furnish
profitable employment for such a
population without conservation of
