Democrats Sweep State and Elect Col.
F. w. PIaisted Governor.
Augusta, Me.-Col. Frederick W.
Plaisted, mayor of this city, was
elected governor at the election held
in this state. The Democrats have
probably elected four congressman
and it is likely that they will have a
majority in the state legislature.
Plaisted's majority over his Repub-
lican opponent, the present governor,
Bert NJ Fernald, will probably reach
5000, though it will be several days
before the vote of many remote rural
communities is received. The Fourth
Congressional district, which includes
numerous polling places of this sort,
is thought to have gone Republican.
Asher G. Kinds, the parliamentarian
of congress, is defeated in the Port
and Burleigh in the Third.
That state issues, notably the dras-
tic enforcement of the prohibitory law
by the party in power, have been
chiefly responsible for the election of
Plaisted is freely admitted on both
sides and this result is not much of a
surprise to close observers, but that
the political complexion of Maine rep
resentation in congress should be
changed is regarded as the verdict of
the voters on the questions which are
uppermost in the Insurgent west.
Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 13.-Unof1cial
figures indicate that the Democrats
are certain of a majority of the So
delegates in the constitutional conven-
ton The Democrats made their
campaign on pledge to incorporate

Sensitive to Art.

Said the art gallery guide; Just
watch the crowd a while and see
which of their antics impress you
most"
Presently the visitor said: 81 think
It is the queer attitudes so many of
them strike"
Exactly" said the guide. "They
are initiating the poses of the figures
n the portraits Anybody who sits
or a portrait is supposed to strike a
graceful attitude. All these people
who have never been painted realize
The grace there is in the poise Of the
head, the turn of the wrist, the slope
Of the shoulders. They wish they
could look like that, and uncOn
sciousIy they try it.
1.-The men are as bad as the women.
They straighten up, they droop, they
lit their heads, they arrange their
hands and feet in imitation Of the fig
nres they admire most. Sometimes
their attempts are very clever, again
they are simply ridiculous"

Red Gross Christmas Seals.

arrangements for the sale Of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "A Million for Tuber-
cuiosis" will be the slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters The American National
Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and P, evention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds of the
sales, The charge to locel associa-
tons for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 121a per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber-
culosis work in all parts of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig-
mated as RED Cross Seals" this year
and are to be placed on the back of
letters instead of on the front.

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the In,
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in Southern state says: my moth.
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker had been
troubled with her heart for a number
Of years and complaings4 of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago I was making an Of
fetal visit to distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. / noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor Of the cot.
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. | was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-.
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam.
lily, but in a more marked degree In
the case of my mother, as she was a
victim of long standing"
Ever read the above Ietter7 new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.

COL. ISAAC L. ELLWooD EXPIRES
Barb Wire King Stricken by Fatal
Paralysis at Dekalb.

Chicago. - Col. Isaac L. Ellwood,
one of the most prominent figures
in the life of Illinois since the
early '70s and the richest man in Hi
nois. died Sunday night at his resi-
dence in De Kalb, H., after an illness
of more than two months.
Since the death of his wife nine
weeks ago Colonel Ellwood had been
sinking rapidly and physicians at no
time have even hoped for his recov-
cry. The illness from which he was
suffering was of paralytic nature
and attacked him a few days after
the funeral of Mrs. Ellwood.
Colonel Ellwood was ponce
manufacturer of barbed wire fencing,
and to the expansion of that industry
with the subdivision of the great
ranches of the west into farms, he
owes his fortune. Aside from his
wealth and his industrial activity,
Colonel Ellwood became one of the
best known men in the state through
his political and financial affiliations.

PROOFS ARE BURNED.
Witnesses Admit Doing Away With
Books Wanted in Inquiry.

New York Louis F. Goodsell,
'ormer state senator from Orange
county, and H. S. Beardsley, secretary
and treasurer of the Street Railways
association of the state of New York,

committee investigating the activities
Of the Street Railways association at
Albany during the assembly sessions
Of 1908 and 1909, that they themselves
burned their individual books, private
accounts and vouchers, which were
wanted by the committee to show that
business relations existed between the
two men. Louis F. Bedell former as
semblyman from Orange county, had
testified at a previous hearing of the
committee that his books and accounts
had been destroyed in a hotel fire.
The cumulative effect of the testi-
nony of Messrs. Coodsell and Boards
ey produced a sensation. Mr.. Good
sell caused another one when, in de-
lending his bill granting sweeping
privileges to the New York TranspOr-
,ation company, he declared that Col
onel Roosevelt, then governor, had
signed 1t.
Mr. Goodsell was asked concerning
letter sent him by Ellingwood &
Cunningham in 1903, advising him

would be given $4,000 in cash. He
protested ignorance of this $4,000 and
could not recall having ever received

Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr, writing in
pne of the magazines Of the fighting
chance Of the city child, thinks that
he foes of the child. poverty, disease
and premature death, should be fought
by an organized army rather than the
amateur skirmishers that give their

by each of the societies working
against the evils and much by the

Vew Workers Cause Arrest When They
Insist on Watching"

New York The employment
IF women as watchers at the
polling places was not success. In
some instances the women were or
1ered out and arrested when they re-

could not act as watchers, while
others took an opposite view. Mrs.
Roberta Mengies Corwin Hill was
