Nation on
Solid Basis.
Fires are Rekindled and
Forces are Doubled.

New York, Nov. THE World
tomorrow morning will say:
Zone million men are marching
briskly forward to reopened fac
tories, freshly whirring looms
and spindles and to shops where
clanking FORCES are making
strange noises.
From every section of the Unit
cd States the whistles OF the
shops and factories are shrieking
a rousing welcome to the battal-
ions OF employees who are conf
IDENTIFY responding to the call for
more help to man the plants
which have been entirely Closed
or practically out OF commission,
pending the result OF the nation
al election.
"In each quarter OF the nation
smoke pours from the chimneys
OF establishments which have
been working reduced forces OF
men at half time. Rush orders
for additional equipment have
poured into the offices OF machin
cry builders in volume sufficient
to swamp them and creating at
once a tremendous demand for
additional employees.
"All along the line the word
has been passed that prosperity
has arrived simultaneously with
the election of William III. Taft,
and like q giant the business and
manufacturing interests have
reused from the prediction leth
argy and, shaking off the shackl
es OF uncertainty and d~istrust Of
radical changes in economic con-
ditions, have ordered the fires re-
kindled and the forces doubled.
Every barometer OF trade has
utterly changed within the week.
The first news from the polls sent
the glass to the fair weather
mark and within a week business
conditions from coast to coast
have become wonderfully settled.
"From the financial head-quart
ers the signal has been flashed to
construction firms to hurry the
building OF delayed railroad lines.
Contracts involving the expendi-
lture OF huge sums for equipment
and labor and which contained
clauses conditioned upon the
election result, have been put into
effect by telegram. In the manu-
featuring centers OF the East and
West, the North and the South
the full strength OF the labor
army Is practically into action.
Not an industrial capital but
which has signalled the magic
slogan; Get busy
The World then follows with
nine columns OF dispatches from
every Industrial center in the Uni
ted States, showing the tremen-
dous activity In all branches.
Leading men In all branches OF
financial and commercial life are
quoted as predicting that the out
look has never been better for the
most prosperous times the coun-
try has known for years. The
banks are full OF money and there
is a general feeling OF confidence,
SO that any worthy enterprise
VIII have no difficulty In financ
Ing itself. The general trend OF
the interviews Is that the nation
feels itself firmly upon solid
ground, with no obstacles in the
way OF progress.

1t is somewhat of a virtue and an in

pleasant to the beholder and unfor-
self love, or, rather. the love Of other

Wednesday evening the bank q
Stephen, MIMI, was dynamited and the
robbers, six in number, secured about
5000. They shot seven charges Of dy-
Mantle before they got to the cash and
badly wrecked the bank and the flx-

climbed to the roof Of abuilding near
and behind the parapet Of the roof had
. duel with the robbers and blood was
found next morning, showing that he
had wounded one Of them. Posses were
at once formed by the citizens and there
is prospect Of getting some Of the

Later-A phone from Emerson late
yesterday afternoon stated that two Of
the robbers were caught in Emerson
having in their possession dynamite, a
large roll Of bills and go in gold, and
that the authorities were on the trail Of

His Good Eve.

His Good Eye.
It 1s curious fact that the loss of
any one of the FIVE senses is atoned for
to considerable extent by a pro-
nounced increase in the efficiency Of
the other senses. The result is some
times astonishing.
A man who had lost the sight of
both eyes trained his hearing until he
could tell by the sound Of his footsteps
on the sidewalks as he made his way
about town whether he was in the
middle Of the walk or at aone side.
whether he was walking past brick
or frame house or a fence or open
ground. .s... .,53 rs

he was not only by his memory or
