WAYMAN GAINS
BY THE RECOUNT
HeaTy Loses in Fight Against
Enemy.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-John j. Healy's
plan to wrest the republican nomina-
ton for states attorney from John E.
w. Wayman hit the rocks hard last
night when the recount of the city of
Chicago and the town of Cicero not
only left Wayman's original plurality
untouched, but gave the latter a net
gain of 1876 additio- al votes.
The result leaves Wayman with a
plurality of 4,544 instead of 4,35S in
this territory, and a net plurality OF
1,269 in the county.
This effectively disposed of Healy's
claims that there had been fraud in
the count, and left him with only his
charges of fraud in the voting to fall
back upon. These, say Mr.. Wayman's
attorneys, can easily be proven
groundless and useless before Judge
Cutting in the county court, which has
jurisdiction over the contest.
The recount of the wards and the
town of Cicero covered the jurisdic-
ton of the election commissioners.
The country town vote will be recount
ed under the eyes of County Clerk
Haas.

THE HORSE CHESTNUT.
A Theory or Two as to the Origin o.
Its Name.

a Theory or TWO AS to the origin OF
It's Name.
The horse chestnut tree is well
known, and the nuts are dear to boys
and sufferers from rheumatism. But
the statement was made lately, and it
Is even found in some encyclopedias,
that the name is given on account Of
Its coarseness: Like horse, or like
that of horse; hence, coarse and I'M
refined" The reflection on the horse is
an unworthy one, but let that pass. Is
not the explanation given in Gerarde's
Herbal $3.50 a more reasonable one
Called in English horse chestnut, for
that the people of the east countries do
with the fruit thereof cure their horses
Of the cough and such like diseases"
There is a long list of plants that
have animal prefixes-horse, dog, cat,
bear, COW, pig. wolf. mouse, rat, toad,
frog, dragon, snake, etc. In some in
stances 1.-The name of an animal pre-
fixed has a totally different significa-

quently worthlessness or spurious
ness" but names have also originated
from the particular uses to which GER
tain plants have been put, and the
horse chestnut is an example. The
Turks, Arabians, Persians, all believ-
ed that these nuts cured horses of
coughs, shortness of wind and such
other ailments. In England prepare
ton of the nut was once used for
bleaching yarn.
Yet there may be something in the
statement of an Englishman, Al
fred A Millward: THE tree possesses
a feature which L have often found to
be not generally known. 1t is a very
distinctly marked horseshoe, with sew
en- dots corresponding to the nails of
the horseshoe, and this appears at the
knuckle of the branches, large and
small, but more clearly on the latter. u

DODGlNG THE SPEAKER.
One of the First Cases of Fiiinusterins
In CONGRESS,

One of the first instances of fiibus-
tering occurred in 1906 just after the
Impeachment trial Of the Hon. Samuel
Chase, one Of the associate justices of
the supreme court. A quarrel arose
over the payment of witnesses. The
house Of representatives would pass no
blu which provided for the payment
Of those summoned by Chase. Tho
senate would pass no bill which did
not, and conference followed. Each
refused to yield. and the bill was lost.
John Randolph then attempted in
the closing hours of the session to
have the witnesses for the managers
of the trial paid out of the contingent
fund of the house. But the Federalists
were ready. They hurried from the
room, and when the vote was taken
the speaker announced no quorum.
Members were thereupon summoned
from the lobby and committee rooms.
Hardly were they in their seats when
a message from the president was an
nounced, and while the clerk was read
ing it the Federalists again left the
room, so that when the resolution was
q second time called up there was
again no quorum Once more the ser
geant at arms went into the lobby.
and once more the members came in.
But an enrolled bill was reported. and
while the speaker was signing it the
Federalists a third time slipped out.
The announcement of no quorum which
followed was greeted with shouts of
laughter. Randolph In a great passion
desisted, and late on the evening Of
Sunday. March 3, 1905. the Eighth
congress ended.-Baltimore American.

cause of his horse running away as a

automobile alleged to have been driv-

states he has unjustly been made the

New York, Sept. 12.-Ever since AL

OUR OLDEST DOLL.
It Was Brought From England Over
Two Centuries Ago.


It Was Brought From England Over
Two Centuries Ago.
Long, long ago, when William Penn
sailed from England ON his second
visit to America, what do you think
he brought with him on the good ship
Canterbury? An English doll. This
passenger is the sole survivor of that
voyage across the Atlantic, which was
made over 200 years ago.
William Penn had a little daughter
named Letitia. Letitia heard her ia
saw and heard in Pennsylvania on bis
first visit to this country. thousands of
miles distant from Letitia's home. He
often told her about little Miss Ran
kin, who, living as she did in the will
derness of Pennsylvania (for this was
long ago, remember), had no toys at
all, not even one rag doll. When Lett
tia's father was getting ready to again
cross the ocean to America his little
girl insisted upon sending a doll to that
lonesome little girl.
So doll was dressed in a court cos
tune Of striped and delicately tinted
brocade and velvet The skirt was
held out by enormous hoops. for such
was the fashion of the well dressed la
dies of that period. The doll itself is
twenty inches high and has the long
waist and slender form of the court

Her hair is rolled back from her face,

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 12.-"The time

Prof. F. N. Blackmar, head of the

here in an address before the Super
intendents of Kansas charitable insti-

Persons AFFLICTED with pulmonary or
mental diseases should not be allowed

is believed by. the Superintendent for
hospitals for the insane and penal in
situations and by Prof. Blackmar to
be necessary to prevent an increase in

Somebody has said that the vices of
the very rich and of the very poor are
identical. 1t is a matter of specula-
ton whether their appetites are also
similar, for the very poor woman
finds great solace in her cup Of tea and
drinks quantities Of it: so also does the
rich woman. Alcoholic stimulants are
also favored by the one who finds life
monotonous from poverty and she who
finds it equally monotonous from
wealth. One can have nothing she
