The words were hardly out of his

hands was raised in warning. the other
held a watch. A smaller man came
through the hedge and joined him.

he shut off power and applied the

AS He Understood IL.

with his grandmother in Nutley, n.

a short time ago, and while here was
taken to the theater for the first time

The man with the dark mustache
groaned painfully; the other merely
shook his head in silent agreement.
They were decently clothed, but OBJ
viously depressed in spirits. There
was that in their detected attitude
which told Of disaster, and the way in
which the bigger mans hands fidgeted
In his pockets plainly indicated their
emptiness.
Between sunlit but silent fields the
level white read on which they stood
stretched away two miles ahead, where
its perspective vanished in a point.
What luck!" muttered the dark
man for the twentieth time
'Oh. dry up, do" snapped his COM

The other turned away with a short
exclamation Of annoyance, went to the
side Of the road and sat down mood
lily. The dark mans lips moved. He
was making calculations. Presently he
looked up; his expression changed; he
listened.
A soft hum rose on the air-very
faint, very distant-rose and fell
again. For few moments the dark
mans eyes searched the horizon where
the road seemed to end. Then he gave
a start as a black speck showed where
earth and sky touched. The hum be-
came a rhythmic throb.

DECLARE FOR BRYAN

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 23.-The re-

and socialists held their state conven-

ton of party platforms. The popu-

the democrats on candidates, also met
in separate convention and adopted
a set of party principles.
The republicans defeated the pro-
posed plank calling for guarantee of

spreading to the better classes and it
has broken out in the barracks
among the troops.
Practically nothing has been done
to clean up the market places, where
there is indescribable filth, the at
mosphere reeking with foul doors.
One hundred carloads of fruit have
been auctioned on ind forwarded TO
warsaw, wilma, and other towns,

Premier Stolypin has sharply rep

he found three bathrooms for 300 pa,
tients. The mortality at that hos
pital has been three times that at
other hospitals. Three of its nurses
were stricken yesterday, making a
total of nine nurses now under treat
ment
The government threat OF martial
law has goaded the city officials to
greater efforts to stamp out the dis
ease. The Aldermanic council appro-
priated s250,O0O for more hos
pital space, for disinfectants, and
to hurry the burial of bodies, which
has been VIGOROUSLY slow.
The Project Dracheffsky, on Satur-
day forbid the sale of liquor, even in
government vodka shops, until next
Tuesday, and after that the sale shall
be suspended between 3 p. m. on Sat
urday and 10 a. m. on Mondays. This
is to diminish alcoholic excuses,
which materially increase liability to
cholera.
Cholera made its appearance in
Russia about this time last year, but
it was confined to the southern and
southeastern provinces. The cold
weather in the latter part of October
and early in November checked it's
spread, and by the 1st of December
it had practically disappeared.
Plague Made Rapid Progress.
This year, however, it has had
what may be termed flying start
and is sweeping over the city in a
frightful way.
When first reported, about the end
OF July, it was of virulent type, and
the percentage of mortality was high.
The disease spread rapidly into the
provinces along the Volga, down both
coasts of the Caspian and in the
territory of the Don Cossacks; in
other words. in the eastern and south
eastern districts of European Russia.
BY the end of August there was an
average of 1900 cases reported each
week with a mortality of upward Of
so per cent.
On August IA it was announced that
st. Petersburg was threatened and on
September the disease was in the
capital. On September II the.e were
IS cases there and the disease had
spread to all quarters.
The record of cases and deaths
from that date until the present shows
startling increase,

In Chicago scattered showers occurred
