st, Louis where his mother might be
cared for Among documents sub
mitted yesterday was an abstract
In ST. Louis. in January 1894, in
which Ben Herbert sought the re-
lease Of his mother from the insti-
tute in which she had been placed,
claiming that she was not insane and
was being kept there by his father
without good cause. The testimony
OF some of the Sisters in charge of
the institute was that Mrs Herbert
| had been brought to the institute by
| Ben Herbert himself in 1890. accom-
PANIED by a younger sister, and the
patient had been left there by him.
The testimony of the Sisters shows
further that Mrs. Herbert was well
cared for at the institute, the ex-
peuses being paid By the deceased
husband Further the testimony of
the physician Of the institute and
other physicians, declared Mrs. Her
bert to he insane The record is
that the court ordered Mrs Herbert
sent back to the institute and al. |
nunistered severe rebuke to her /
son the present contestant.
Brought Back to Cairo.
But in spite Of this record il appears
that Ben Herbert continued to worry
his father, writing many letters anI !
also having circulars printed which
he mailed to people indiscriminately,
denouncing his father for keeping his
mother in restraint when she was not
insane. He did this even while ha
vas employed in his. father's Office on
salary, with little or nothing to do:
md in the hope of stopping this the
deceased had his wife brought back to
afro and tried in the county court Il

MIR. TAFTs REPLY.

Judge Taft is a forceful replicant, as Mir. Bryan and his friends will have to admit It must also be con- ceded that the house which he bonn barded yesterday was of glass and that it's occupant was in an exposed position.
 No public man in recent years has been so wanting in consistency as AIr. Bryan. The lightning changes which he has effected, for, as Mr. Taft suggests, the purpose of catch ing votes. would have retired almost any. other man to the rear rank and have kept him there.
 He has after a fashion explained to the apparent satisfaction of his followers his abandonment of free coinage and government ownership and he has let it be inferred that the question of imperialism has passed beyond control.
 The point especially made by MT. laLL IS lIldl bIg dll . NlelAlli tc 4As' AA-o been the originator of the Roosevelt policies is disproved by the fact that none of them were made issues in any of the campaigns headed or par ticipated in by him. This is fact which has not been directly laid before many who had come to be- lieve that MT. Bryan was really the premier .reformer, the forerunner of President Roosevelt, his voice years ago crying in the wilderness of cor ruption where predatory beasts ragged.
 Out of the multitude of sugges- tions made by Mir. Bryan in his many speeches and letters it would be strange if he had not at one time or another advocated practically ev- cry reform, wise or foolish, that could be conceived.
 Mir Taft's reply, however, plainly shows that MT. Bryan, even as late as 1904, did not regard any of these alleged inventions of his as of suf- ficient importance to be incorporated in the democratic national platform

New York, Sept 14.-While not pre- cisely apthetic tOday's stock market lost much of the animation compared with last week. The dullness of the trading through much of the session was due to a waiting attitude, waiting on the expected announcement of fi nancial readjustment of the Hartman Pacific primarily.

Substitutes for Pulp Wood.

The American nation has the repu-
tatlon of wasting almost as much of
its resources as 1t uses. Facts are
often advanced to show that there is
much truth in such statement.
"A practical paper-maker recently
called attention to few OF the
sources of enormous waste when
speaking of the number of materials
In Americas refuse heap which are
worth while considering as promising
substitutes for wood pulp.
The Northwest annually produces
a million and a half tons OF flax
stalks which are not now used for
anything. That amount Of waste re-
mains after the Irvine makers take all
they want. 1t makes excellent paper.
The farmers in the South burn or
pillow under 13 million tons of cotton
stalks every year. That which is
plowed under is not wholly lost for
1t enriches the soil to some extent,
but not SO with what goes up in
smoke.
Five hundred thousand tons of
fiber have been adhering to cotton
seed every year. 1t has been fed to
farm stock along with the seed and
has done the stock no good. Cattle
and sheep do not like the fiber and
the seed cake is better without it. A
machine has been invented, which. it
is claimed, will separate the lint from
the seed. Paper makers think they
can use 1t.
Nobody knows how many million
tons OF cornstalks so to waste; but
in quality they are far ahead of cot
ton stalk, and 1t is believed they can
! be made into paper, although it has
not yet been done on a commercial
scale.
Thousands OF acres of wild hemp
grow IN the southwestern part of the
country, particularly along the Colo
RADIO river. It's only use now is to
shelter Jack rabbits and coyotes, but
it has splendid fiber and tests on a
small scale show that excellent paper

Lists Of fibrous or woody plants

The time has not yet come when
It is absolutely necessary that sub
stitutes for pulp wood be found, but
1t is coming. The forests are still
able. to furnish materials for paper,
but they cannot continue TODD so
for great many years to come. at
the present rate of cutting and

which prompts the active search now
going on for substitutes.

Death Of Cleveland.

The death of Grover Cleveland
leaves this country without an ex.
President and brings sorrow to the
nation, as his real worth as a states
man and citizen was revealed in later
years, when the people studied the
character OF his public service and
ascertained its high value and deep
integrity. Unfortunate surroundings
brought his last administration into
more or less disrepute, but he stood
out for what he regarded right and
thereby incurred tho enmity of his
own party. His conservative advice
in later years, If needed. might have
placed his party on a firm basis. But
now that he has gone to the grave let
none feel but kindly toward him, for
he was one of, the nations great men.

Myron @. Tough.

Myron c. Tough, of Fairmont, who
Is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for state superintendent
of schools, was born on a farm in
Barbour county, June 25, 1870, and
grew to manhood in that county. He
began teaching at the age of II, and
month before his 21st birthday was
elected county superintendent OF
schools. being the first Republican
elected to that Office In Barbour coun-
ty for a period OF twenty years. He
afterwards served as principal of the
public schools of Belington. Enter
ing the West Virginia Conference
Seminary, at Buckhannon, he was
graduated there in 1894, taking the
degree of bachelor of pedagogy. Lat
er he took the degrees of A. B. and
IA. NJ. from the West Virginia Uni
versity, at Morgantown, and spent six
years as teacher and assistant prin-
cipal in the Falrmont State Normal
school.
Thus is 1t readily seen that he is
fully equipped for the Office. and, in
addition to his educational work, he
has had newspaper experience of
much value, which gives him addi-
tional equipment and capacity for the
office
Besides, Mr.. Tough is gentleman
of splendid personality, which is an
essential that counts in that Office.
