Bryan Will Get Fourth.
The fourth district is one Of those which
is likely to show up we'll for the demo-
Gratis. as Ben Johnson the present rep
resentative is one Of the most popular
men In the district besides being stat
chairman OF the democratic committee.
and he Is expected to land his district for
Bryan by a good safe margin. variously
estimated at from 1890 to 1900.
Will Be Hot in Fifth.
1t is the NTH district. however, in which
1t Is conceded that the hottest fight Will
be made, and the opinion among both
democrats and republicans seems to be
that the result In this district. which in
cludes Louisville, will! decide the fate OF
the state. Louisville has never yet given
Bryan a majority. and IN the Roosevelt
Parker race showed a hare 1000 major

q. c. kinkead one of the most popular
republicans In Louisville personally and
an original Taft man. Mr.. kinkead is
regarded as a shrewd lawyer and an ex-
cellent campaisner, and should be abe to
carry the district and displace Mr.. Sher-
ley. It Is probable that unless something
unforeseen arises he will be the next
representative. and that he will have a
majority OF 2.5c0 or 5000. though he
claims it will be greater than that and
that his victory will be easy.
Doubtful in Sixth District.
In the sixth district Abe Rhinock. race
track promoter. one of the chief men In
the Latonia Racing Association and a
machine politician. is a candidate to sue
coed himself in Congress. while Mr.. John
NJ. Inglis. one of the best known repub-
licans in the district across from Indiana
is the republican nominee. He is also an
original Taft man, and with the aid Of the
Taft sentiment may be able to pull
through. especially as there appears to
be general dissatisfaction with Rhinock S
political methods.
At the present time this promises to be
one of the closest races in the state. with
the majority not over 800 either way, and
the chances slightly favoring Rhinock.

To sum up the situation it appears that

Anty Drudge Makes Donation.
He-I venture to ask madam you would endeavor spare
nue. something for the Home for Broken Down Washer
women:
Anty Dudge-"Certainy I'll donate box of Fels-Naptha
soap. Tell them it according to directions and they
will still be able do washing, because the Fels Naptha
way banshes all the back breaking and hard rubbing OF
washday; and cuts washday work in half.
Why do so many women who do their
own work grow old before their time?
The weekly washing, they will tell
you, is responsible for their breaking down.
And they tell the absolute truth if they
wash in the old-fashioned way.
Continual rubbing on the washboard
is so bad on the back
And standing over steaming suds paves
the way for colds
But the Fels-Naptha way is just as
different from the old way of washing as
Fels-Naptha is different from all other soaps.
Only cool or lukewarm water needed,
in winter or summer, and very little rubbing
required.
In nutshell Fels-Naptha does most of
the work itself without human assistance.
In using Fels-Naptha, follow the easy
directions printed on the red and green
wrapper.

FRENCH MAY
HELP HOLLAND
Netherlands Has Asked Aid
and the filming Of French
Cable Company by Vene-
zuela May Shake Up
Things

Paris, Aug. 29.-It is impossible to
anticipate at this time the nature OF
Frances reply to the proposal of the
Netherlands regarding help in the
Venezuela emhroglio. The matter is
not one to be handled hurriedly, and it
entails SO many important questions
that it probably will have to await
a. formal meeting between Premier
Clemenceau and members of the cabi-
net, many of whom are now absent
from the city.
Although France has practically
dropped the question Of her relations
with Venezuela, as President Castro
had refused to allow Brazil to take
over French interests, attention has
been attracted to the matter anew by
the recent sensational condemnation
of the French cable company by the
Venezuela courts to pay damages for
alleged completely in the Mates rev
olution of 1903 to the amount Of $5,-
o00, 600. In fact, this judgment, from
the French standpoint, has re-opened
the entire matter.

The Hague, Aug. 29.--Reports re-

were those of her neighbors. NJ
The apparent changes in the pro-

Dutch newspapers are beginning to
protest against the secrecy with which
the government enfolds the entire
