NO TURN ON" CHARGE.

Railroad Commission Rules in Re-
gard to Delinquent Water Taxes.
In the future the Oshkosh Water
Works Company will not impose a pen
atty of ST for shutting off or turning on
the water for non-payment of taxes, I'M
less the water is actually shut off. This
is the result of inquiries made by a
water user to the railroad commission.
This user offered payment of his tax af-
ter the time had expired for such pay
ment. The company charged him 81 for
shutting off the water and he claims the
water had not been shut off. The COM
mission held that 81 could not be collected
under the b., eumstances.

Der. Two years ago ChaGler ran near
lily 10000 votes ahead of his ticket and
demonstrated considerable personal
popularity in every section Of the
state.
Since then Governor Hughes has
done many things to lessen his popu-
larity while Lieutenant Governor
Chanler has been making additional
friends in both great parties.
Republican organs admit that
Hughes was nominated in face of the
wishes of a majority of the delegates
| to the convention, which majority
would have nominated either Secretary
Root or Ambassador Hill, had either
of them consented.
In forecasting the result of the com
| ing election all the experts are placing
New York in the doubtful column
The indications presage the defeat Of
Hughes by a plurality sufficiently
large to make Taft's carrying of the
state a matter of much doubt. The
ldefeat of Hughes would come with
especial qualification to that large
body of thinking men. who regard the
right functions of a governor as being
administrative rather than legislative

to work for man they hate to see
again in the governors chair, with
some of them making secret threats to
knife the state ticket, with the feud
between Charles F. Murphy and Sena-
tor Patrick II. McCarren at its bitter
est stage, with democracy suffering
from the wounds which accompanied
Charles F. Murphy's sensational entry
as state 'bossi and added to all this,
with an independent movement and a
multitude of unemployed in the cities
and larger towns. the political outlook
in the Empire state may truthfully be
described as hazy, to say the least"
AS goes New York, SO goes Indiana,
is an old saying, and the Herald adds:
Local conditions contribute to the
present doubtful character of the cleo
ton result. The state government in
Indiana has not been happy in the
choice of measures or of men, and
there is such a great dissatisfaction
on the part of voters that it has been
very difficult to find anyone who would
predict that the state ticket in Indi-
ana would win this year. The demo
Gratis have nominated a very strong
mated their ticket only after fierce
| factional fight. James E. Watson is
not as good candidate as Mr.. Mar
shall the democratic nominee for gov
ernor, and he has to answer for the
! sins of his party in congress, where
he was the republican whip as well
as for the shortcomings of the state
administration. Labor unions are very
strong in Indiana and it is a state
where the negro vote is heavy. In
t..ese two respects the democrats have
the republicans at a disadvantage at
the very start. because Mr. Kern will
do much to hold the labor vote for
Bryan and at the same time divide the
negro vote
the Herald looks for surprises in the
coming election.
The actual status, according to that
newspaper, is as follows:
/ Total votes in electoral college. :. Asa
Majority necessary to choice. -. .242

Republicans to win must gain. E. :. &c

The democrats have higher hill to
climb than have the republicans. bu
it is not an insurmountable hill. fol
there are new and unforeseen ele
ments at work AS in New York sc
also in other parts of the country, "a.
far as the national ticket is concerned
it is pretty generally conceded tina
Bryan is much stronger than he wa:
either in 1896 or 1900. Men wht
openly opposed him in both campaign:
are working for him this year. Re
ports from the rural districts indicate
that the old sentiment against Bryan
has disappeared.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1908-09-19

No one would have thought of Hi
Tremway in connection with the tender
passion. In I.akehead he had the repu-
tation of being a woman hatcr of the
most pronounced description, and
Martha Curtis, maiden lady of very
certain age, who had designs On
Hi. was the only person in all the
Lake Iona district of whom the griz-
Zled woodsman was afraid.
For that reason it seemed strange
that Iii should take such an interest in
the affair between Norma Downing and
Bryce Logan. The Downings had Il
camp 1T the upper end of Lake Iona,
and 1t was Gordon Downing who
loaned money to Hi for the purchase
of the gasoline launch in which he
made morning and evening trips
around the lake.
Iona, with its alternate bluffs and
valleys, was largely dependent on this
water bus for service. The wagon
road ran far back into the woods to
escape the uneven shore, and trip
by the road to the Downing camp was
q matter of several hours. In the
boat it required less than an hour
even when stops were made at the
other camps. and Gordon Downing
was regarded as 4 public benefactor
when he started his water express.
Bryce Logan had come only thai
spring, but none of the regulars was
regarded with greater favor by -Trem
way than this jolly young fellow. Lo-
gan always had a pleasant word and
a cigar for the eXpressman when Hi
drew into his dock with the mail and
supplies.
Then, too, there were notes to be
carried to the Downing camp and LET
tiers to be brought in reply. More
| than once Hi had arranged for moon
| light trip around the lake and had
given his strict attention to the motor
| and the steering wheel. yet he could
not help gathering that for some un
reasonable prejudice Gordon Downing
was opposed to the match between the
two.
This fact caused Hi to think that the
banker was not as clever as he was
generally considered to be, since an!
man In his sober senses would be gla(
| to have Bryce Logan for son-in-law.
So matters stood when from the Pull
man special there stepped on to thu
Lakehead platform a portly form tina
every one recognized as that of Cor
don Downing.
It was the invariable habit of thu
banker to spend August with his fami
", and his appearance in the middle o
July caused little ripple of specula
ton. Sensations We're few in Lakehead
and even so natural a happening rs tn
anticipation of vacation caused tall
for want of better conversational tor
les.
Il Only Hi realized that there might b
some connection between this untimel
visit and the presence of Bryce Loga
at the lake. He knew that Bryce ha
planned to return to town before tn
banker should arrive, and he guesse
that some word of Logan's presenc
there had reached the capitalist, th
more particularly as there was glir
in Downing's eyes that betokened trol
bic.
y When the new arrival reached tn

Virtues of the Automobile.

by prominent physicians and the re-
suit showed that there was a great
increase in the red blood corpuscles,

organs and sleep became regular and
restful. The majority OF people, how
ever, can't afford the luxury of an au.

results by taking course of Hostel.

ence has proven, both to doctors and
patients, that for purifying the blood
aiding digestion and promoting sound
sleep the Bitters is unequalled. 1t is
also excellent in cases of sick head

troubles, female ills, dyspepsia, indi
gestion, nausea and malaria. We
urge every sick man and woman t.

Forecast of Election.

The New York Heralds political
forecasts are regarded as being with
out partisan bias, and, therefore, COM
mand general attention. The recent
review of the situation made by that
journal is rather encouraging to dem
ocrats. 1t leaves ground for belief
that the democrats have as least an
even chance of winning in the next
election. The reason this is encour-
aging is that, few months ago, the
Herald would probably have shown
that there was no chance for the dem
ocratic party to win. It is not so long
as that ago when the New York World
was printing map of the United
States, the intent of which was to
prove that the case was hopeless, for
democracy; and the correctness of the
map. and the conclusion drawn from
it, were hardly in question. There
has been marked change in public
sentiment, however. The World has
come over to Mr.. Bryan's side and
thinks he can win; and the Herald
now is of the opinion that he may
win. At least. he has chance to win
whereas before it was thought that he
had no chance.
The Herald ventures an analysis Of
the probable vote of the severa
states and makes this disposition of it:
