SHAKING DOWN THE TRUSTS.
chas. G. Dawes Visits wall Street and
Promises Republican Party VIII
BE Good.

Under New York date line of Sept.
~ the daily papers of the country
publish dispatch from which the fol.
lowing is taken:
THE visit of Charles G. Dawes, Of
Chicago formerly Comptroller of the
Currency), had more influence than
anything else in arousing Wall street
uneasiness. Mr.. Dawes came to New
York primarily to raise money for the
Republican congressional campaign
committee. and he gave the people he
called upon very clearly to under
stand that the Republican majority in
the house is in danger.
Wall street has steeled itself
against the opportunities Of political
canvassers for funds, but Mr.. Dawes
visit was unquestionably impressive.
The people who saw and heard him
were convinced that he really meant
what he said when he announced that
unless means were taken to arrest the
current and change the situation the
Democrats would swing into control
of the popular branch of congress and
probably elect president. Mr.. Dawes
did not contine his visit alone to
bankers and financiers. He devoted i
good share of his attention to leading
representatives of the manufacturing
interests. He carried away some
money. but not nearly as much AZ he
had hoped for"

a STRAW VOTE.

Joseph Eyers, deputy auditor. who
returned Thursday afternoon from a
trip through the Rosebud country in
South Dakota, took several straw
votes from the passengers on board
tie crowded trains going into and
c. ming from Dallas, destination
point for homeseekers and land In
vestors. The outcome of the few
hundred voters is interesting, for the
reason that the two dummy contests
were even, the first resulting as fol-
lows: Bryan, 1877; Taft, 1903; while
the second gave Bryan 255 and Taft
1913.
The people going to the Rosebud
reservation are a normal and fair
sample class of Americans and from
the estimates and opinions received
from travelling men. who are in a po-
sition to pick up the expressions Of
tie business man, the farmer and all
the various representative voters in
the country. The first vote gives
the democratic candidate the advan-
tage, while the second is favorable
for the standard bearer of the re-
0 blican party This even break in
licates the closeness of the approach
ing November election, and how close
.he contest will undoubtedly be.
Bets are being taken generally by
hopeful winners of stakes, and the
entire lack of apathy on the part of
any community concerning the out
come of the election, is becoming
more noticeable each week. Enthas-
lasts offering money on tie re-
publican chances in the New Eng
land states are frequently met, and
Where the fight will be close, as the

Between Supper and Breakfast.

Many persons, says well known
doctor, though not actually sick, keep
below par in strength and general
tone, and he is of the opinion that
fasting during the long interval be-
tween supper and breakfast, and espe.
cially the complete emptiness of the
stomach during sleep. adds greatly to
the amount Of emaciation, sleepless-
ness and general weakness we so often
meet. 1t is logical to believe that the
supply of nourlshment should be some
what continuous. especially i'll those
who are below par, if we would coun.
teract their emaciation and lower de-

vigor-are the results.-London Globe.

ADDITIONAL TRAIN SERVICE.

Sometime ago, 1t was reported that
the Illinois Central would restore
Trains Nos. 33 and "a, commonly call
ed the Clipper but no authorized
( s,atement has been secured until this
week. A new time card will be made
affective about the goth of this
month. The following story is taken
ON Waterloo newspapers inter
view with an official of the company
I in that city:
A new time card will go into effect
ON the Illinois Central about the 20ti
, OF the month that will greatly ib-
{ prove the passenger service in ana
out of Waterloo. One of the most
important features of the new card to
local people will be restoring the clip

Isshas increased to such an extent IL;

liz Another trainwill also be put on be-

local stops between these cities. This
train was formerly in the Service. but
was taken off at the same time as
