A Sudden DEATH.

Mrs. L. A. Tanner died of apo
plexy between the hours Of 400
and 500 o'clock Thursday morn
ing at her home north Of Odessa,
age 50 years. Although she had
been ill about ten days, her
death came as a great shock to
her many friends. Mrs. Tan
ner was one Of the best loved
women in this community, a
woman pure of heart, thoughtful
and attentive to the sick and dis
tressed, a woman whose great
sympathetic heart and tender
passions have endeared her to all
with whom she had to come in
contact.
In her home, Mrs. Tanner
was one of the most hospitable
women. She raised a large
family, being composed of
children Of her husbands first
wife, and to them she was all
that mother could be. There
can be no question about the
future Of this good woman. She
has followed in His steps and
will reap the great reward which
she so justly merits. Her life
has been such as may well be
emulated.
Mr.. Tanner, we understand,
is in a precarious condition.

NOT MERELY PERSONALITY.

In the city election and the
Democratic primary in regard to
most of the Offices it is the per
sonality of the candidate that
will and should determine the
decision of the voter as to which
man he will support. But in
two places personality should be
almost entirely eliminated. The
state senator and representative
of the county should be chosen
with regard to what they will do
at Jefferson City.
These two viii have something
to say about the future laws of
She state and will each have a
vote in the election Of a United
States Senator. On the surface
of things, this should not count
so very much, as by the workings
of the primary system, the
people are supposed to instruct
their representative senator
whom to support.
But, according to some rumors
afloat, these instructions may
not be absolutely binding. It is
intimated that an injunction will
be sought which viii hold these
instructions unconstitutional
In case they are so held tile

SHINY on HIS OWN SIDE. I"

Bryan's message bidding Taft
to shiny on his own side" had
in it as much of present-day po-
liticalphilosophy as of pleasantly.
The peculiar condition under
whichthe country enters uponthe
years elections is that in order
to keep themselves in power the
Republicans have so far quit
shinnying on their own side that
the Democrats can strike only
upon the knowledge of the nat
ural depravity of the Republican
party and the insincerity Of its
Democratic promises.
Mr. Taft does not shinny on
his own side when he proclaims
himself an impatient tariff re-
former, nor when he repudlates
President Roosevelt's centraliz-
ling utterances by proclaiming
the Democratic doctrine of local
self-goyernment for the Filipi-
nos.
He does not shinny on his own
side when he pledges himself, if
elected to the Presidency, to
carry forward the Democratic
policy Of just and equitable regu-
lation Of the great concerns

profits in these stocks caused syma-

that he was ready to post money on the
candidates either way He does not
give quite the odds on Taft that he re-
quires against him. nor on Deneen,
for he is looking for a higher percent
age.
His odds are as follows: Taft 1 to 5;
Bryan 4 to 1; Deneen 1 to 2; Stevenson
s to 5. O'Leary's odds were surprise
to the Bryan men. Several of those

OBJECT TO EXPRESS ORDERS.
Bankers Claim Companies Infringe on
Their Prerogatives.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The right of
the various express companies to issue
money orders and other commercial
paper was involved in hearing before
the interstate commerce commission
Thursday in the case of the American
Bankers association against a number
of express companies. The proceed
ing was upon the motion of the ex-
press companies to dismiss a complaint
filed against them on the ground that
the commission is without jurisdiction.
The bankers organization claims
that the practice of the express COM
panies in selling bills of exchange and
money orders and transporting over
their own lines currency and coin to
liquidate them unjustly discriminates
against the bankers, who are obliged
to pay certain rates on shipments of
currency and coin to satisfy their
commercial papers. At the conclusion
of the hearing the commission allowed
the usual time for the filing. of briefs.

TURKS TO ABANDON FEE.
American Dealers Given Opportunity
to Work OF Old Hats.

Washington, Oct 16-Many Turks
will abandon the fez in favor of hats
and caps, predicts Consul Jewett az
Trebizond, Turkey, in a report regard
ing the removal of restrictions as to
headgear in the Ottoman empire. The
sultan's subjects are now free to fol-
low their own inclination in GOVERNS
their heads and the consul suggests in
his report that as the fashion in hats
is not even known in most parts of
Turkey and as a majority of Turks
will not want to pay much for hat.
American dealers may take the oppor-
tunity to dispose of old hats in stock.
Until the restrictions were removed
the fez proclaimed a Turkish subject
and foreigners in the Turkish empire
as well, and the hat was worn by for
eigners only as a badge of extra-terri-
torial rights and foreign protection.
