Greatest Graft of All.
lOhlo State Journal.l

After making a fair record for
itself the seventy seventh general
assembly of Ohio stained it badly
by voting themselves $32, 900 mile
age; that is for nine round trips
to their homes, which they should
have made at their own expense,
and at the rate of l24 cents mile,
for which they paid two cents a
mile. There has been nothing like
il since the great salary grab in
congress, which doomed every
man who took 1t to their political
graves. IL ia amazing that the
representatives of the people
should plunder the people in this
fashion. IL is one of the worst
stabs that self-government has
sustained for many year. Ii is
discouraging to every man who
has hopes for his country. II
their constituencies sustain this
action the state OF public senti-
ment is indeed deplorabls

He told of his movements leading up to the time of the killing of his wife.

THE WAY OUT
From Weakness to Power by Food
 Route.

Getting the right start for the days work often means the difference be- tween doing things in wholesome comfort, or dragging along half dead all day.
 There's more in the use of proper food than many people ever dream of-n1ore's the pity.
 "Three years ago I began working fin q general store" writes a man, land between frequent deliveries and more frequent customers, I was kept on my feet from morning till night
 Indigestion had troubled me for some time, and in fact my slight than appetite At first this insufficient diet was not noticed much. but at work it made me weak and hungry long before noon,
 Yet breakfast of rolls, fried foods and coffee meant headache, nausea and kindred discomfort. Either way I was losing weight and strength, when one day friend suggested that I try a Grape e-Nuts breakfast
 "So l began with some stewed fruit. Grape-Nuts and cream, soft boiled egg toast, and cup of Post um, By noon I was hungry but with a healthy, normal appetite. The weak languid feeling was not there,
 My head was clearer, nerves stead fer than for months To-day my stom- ach Is strong. my appetite normal, my bodily power splendid and head al- ways clear.

HUGHES CHOICE
 PLEASES WEST Republican Leaders from Four teen States in Conference With Hitchcock at
 Chicago.
WANT GOVERNOR TO STUMP
National Manager Recipient of Many 1nsistent Dcmands-Com on Result of Maine
 Election.

Chicago. Sept. t5.--Republican leaders from fourteen central and western states, who were assembled here to-day in conference with Chair man Hitchcock of the republican na- tional committee expressed their grati- fcation at the renomination of Hughes for governor of New York Without exception these western leaders de- clared that the action of the New York convention will aid the republi cans in their campaigns in all of the debatable states of the west.
 Requests that Governor Hughes be sent into western states to make cam paign speeches have been received In great numbers and many of the chair men of state central committees have been nslstent in their demands. The national committee refrained from asking Governor Hughes from taking part in the campaign because 1t was not deemed wise to do anything which would look like interference in the contest of tho New York organiza- ton leaders and Hughes supporters over the gubernatoria situation. There Is no longer any reason why an invitation to speak should be withheld from Governor Hughes and he will be asked to visit as many states as he can in the time he has to spare from his own campaign.
 Chairman Hitchcock and Senator Dixon, director of the speakers bureau of the western headquarters, left Chi cago tonight for Cincinnati where they will confer with Judge Taft con cerning the itinerary arrangement for his western trip.
 Representative Boutclle of Illinois, who has just returned from cam paigning in Maine, visited republican headquarters to-day. He said that the small majority by which Maine was carried by the republican party has no particular bearing upon the national election. He thought, that the return of the entire republican con- gressional delegation was an indica- tion that the attitude of the party in congress meets with the approval of tho people of the state.

CAUSES DAMAGE
HUGE COLUMN OF WATER
SHOOTS FROM BROKEN MAIN
MAKING SENSATIONAL DIS

Yesterday shortly after noon toe
Cairo Water Company received notice
of a bad break in the water mains
near the corner of Eighth street and
Washington avenue. and it proved so
serious a break that Aldermen Magner
went to work with extraordinary en-
ergy to stop it and repair the damaged
main. When first noticed il was mere
~ a small stream oozing through the
gravel pavement and running off to
ward the gutter and little was thought
of it: but suddenly a huge slab Of
the pavement was lifted up and col
umn of water shot forth as big as an
elephants leg and twenty feet high.
1t came in contact with the trolley
wire of the Traction Company and
there was some display of electricity
as the powerful current sought to
travel from the wire to the ground on
the solid stream.
But the exhibition was soon stopped
when Mr.. Magner arrived. The water
was shut off and men went to work
repairing the pipe. 1t was found that
large section of the main had been
eaten through by electricity commu
nicated to it from the rails of the
street railway The pipe was so brit

ALL FOR BRYAN
CENTRALlA DEMOCRAT CALLS
CAIRO MAN MOST ENTHusl-
AsTIC BRYAN MAN IN Hill
NOlS.

Drew TUFTS, publisher of the Cen
tralia Democrat in letter TO his
paper written en- route to the Denver
convention on board Centralia's spec.
ial train says:
our party had a very pleasant visit
last night from Governor David X.
Francis, whom | mentioned yesterday
as a passenger on our train. He left
this train at St Joe and went to Lin
coin by invitation to confer with Mr.
Bryan. He discussed the political
situation quite freely, and expressed
confidence in Democratic victory in
November He disclaimed any am
bitiOn to be the candidate for vice
president. and declared there is no
probability of his nomination. Moth.
ing was said as to the national chair
manship.
Governor Francis feels that the
fight for Bryan must be made in the
west. and looks upon the states Of
Wisconsin, Nebraska, Indiana and
Colorado as the ones which must be
carried in order to supply the 102
electoral votes when Judge Parker
needed four years ago. He says there
is no doubt Missouri; will give her
electoral vote to Bryan. Claude
Winter of Cairo the most enthusiastic
Bryan man in Illinois assured Gov,
Francis that Illinois would also be
found in line and appeared pleased
but not convinced He is strongly in
favor of a conservative platform and
will use his influence both at Lincoln
and in Denver to prevent a radical
declaration on iniunctions."
