Utica, N. F., Aug. 2a-Theodore Roosevelt bristling over the attack upon him by Wm. Barnes, Jr. the political leader of Albany made 1t known that he is determined upon a battle to the finish against Barnes and the men on his side. Col Roosevelt made his purpose decisively known
 when he was asked If he had any com ment to make upon Barnes assertion that the ex-president's interference in
 the Republican state convention ie 'unfortunate.s
 Mir. Roosevelt has just returned from a three hours horseback Jaunt when the Barnes attack was brought up.
 "Mr. Barnes indicates that the light against you Is going to be taken to the convention and thrashed out there,- remarked the conolel's inquisi. tor.
 Col. Roosevelt's Jaws snapped
 Well then, they will have all the fight they want" he replied "I am going to the convention only vecause feel that the public interests, the interest of the people of New York demands that the Republican party be given a chance to stand squarely and
 uncompromisingly for clean, decent honest politics.
 T shall go to that convention to
 make the speech exactly as 1t has been originally planned and while l hope there will be enough good sense
 to prevent any one opposing the principles for which 1 shall stand, yet If they do oppose them, it Is their own affair and as far as I am concerned the issue shall be absolutely clean cut"
 Mir Roosevelt while away on his trip to the West Is to keep in touch with the situation in New York: It
 Is supposed that Lloyd Griscom and Collector Loeb will keep him posted. The colonel is satisfied that he can control a majority of the delegates to the state convention and 1t will be up to Griscom and the others on Roosevelt's side to get to work im- meQiately.
 Tho colonel is now counting on be Ing named temporary chairman of the convention so as to deal a blow to
 the plot perpetrated by Vice-President
 sherman, Barnes and the others of
 the enemies camp. He is confident
 he can swing voters to insure being named for the chairmanship. Vice-President Sherman made no effort to get into touch with Col, Roosevelt and patch up the fight be- tween them.
 The special pulled out of Utica at midnight on the way West. There was a brief stop at Buffalo this morning at 6:20 to allow the former president to take breakfast at the Endicott club. The special pulled out of Buffalo at 7:S0 and was on its way to Cheyenne for "Cowbays roundup There will be
 no stop on the way to Cheyenne which will be reached on Saturday morning at 11:S0. That day 1t Is promised will be the most spectacular of the whole trip.

WAR ON IN NEW YORK.
ROOSEVELT AND PRoeREsslVEs WIN FIRST BATTLE FOR DELE
 oArEs TO CONVENTION
VICE PRES. SHERMAN DEFEATED
Roosevelt Promises His Best Efforts to Beat His opponents--WlIilam earnes, IT., Leader of the o'o Guard, Announces Finish Fight

Albion, N. r., Aug. 26.-Despito desperate efforts of James w. Wads' worth. Jr, John A. Merritt and other Old Guard leaders in the Thirtyfourta congressional district the Republican convention of Orleans county repudi ated vice-President sherman and ln structed its six delegates to the Re publican state convention which con, venes in Saratoga on September z to vote for Theodore Roosevelt TOT temporary chairman as against Sner man.
 As this was the first county conven. ton since Col Roosevelt declared open warfare on the Old Guard lead CTS and President Taft publicly repudi- ated vice-President sherman. the Old Guard leaders made every effort to keep Orleans county in line for the Wadsworth, Barnes, Woodruff. ward, and Sherman faction.
 The delegates to the convention turned a deaf ear to their entreaties, however In view of the earnest efforts made by the Old Guard leaders here and their failure to keep the convention in line for the program the result was regarded with special importance in Western New York and was accepted as an indication of what will occur In other sections oi the state as the conventions are held now that the fight between the pro gressives and he old Guard are under way.

WHY HENS DON'T HATCH.

There is general complaint that ear
~ clucking hens were scarce. This
shows that lots OF people didn't get
winter eggs. for hens seldom sit until
after they lay. But it's different now
from grandma's time. In those days
the whole shebang went broody In the
warm months.
The big barn was lined with them.
But the incubator gave the cluck a
black eye. People want eggs. not
clucks. and the broody quality is be-
ing bred out OF them.
In grandpap's time hens would sit
on a corncob. a doorknob or a fence
post. but most hens now are hatched
by machinery and lust grow" and
don't know how to sit.
Just so with Pekin ducks hatched
in lncubators. They seldom hatch. and
even love for swimming has been bred
out OF them.
Then there are the breeds that sell
dom brood-the Mediterranean class,
such rs Leghorns and Mlnorcas.
These are the great layers, and.
thinking TO get more eggs. poultry rails
ers cross these nonsitters with others
and thus change the characteristics Of
the stock so they don't sit.
Millions OF live day old chicks are
now shipped all over the United states
TO people who don't care TO set clucks,
but want their chicks ready made.

Rapid Army Mobilization.

The finest example Of rapid organ
ization of an army was certainly the
mobilization Of the German army in
1870. On July II in that year the IA
nous telegram, the shortest and most
momentous ever dispatched. "Krieg.
Mobil," went forth from the headquar-
tiers at Berlin, and within a fortnight
an army OF 100000 men, fully uni
formed, equipped and provided with
commissariat. was on its way to the
French frontier. or course it must be
remembered that all these men had
been previously warned and that all
had been through their period of mill
tary training.-London Answers.

Grim Scot Wit.

A Scottish minister had among his
pensioners a man who dealt in old
horses. alternating his spells of labor
with heavy sprees. During the pc
riod of depression which followed each
overindulgence John habltually took to
bed and there diligently studied the
family Bible. During one Of these fits
of attempted reformation his condition
prompted his wife to call in the Rev.
Mr.. Wallace. the parish minister, who
at the time happened to be passing.
"Oh, Master Wallace. come in and
see our John; he's rale badw
whats wrang WI himY
He's feart to meet his Maker"
said Mrs. John.
Quick as fire came the crushing re-
ply:
"Humphl Thell'm he need ma be
feart for that; he'll never SEEM"

STONE IN KIDNEY

An interesting case was that OF Mr..
II. l.. McDuffee, member OF the firm
OF II. c. DeWolfe & Co., OF the Crock.
er Building. San Francisco.
The case was puzzling. There was
pain in the kidney with a showing OF
blood. Examination by seven physlc.
clans proved that the blood was from
the kidneys. and It was the opinion
OF all that there was n stone cutting
the kidneys, as the least exercise
caused a showing OF blood.
Four X-Ray pictures were taken,
three OF them showing a stone half
an inch In diameter. To be certain
that II was a stone that cast the
shadow, similar stone about the
same size taken from a patient was
put under him for comparlson-both
stones showing on the plate.
An operation was about decided up
on when Fulton's Renal Compound
was recommended to Mr.. McDufiee.
He feared the knife and gave II a
trial.
Within ten weeks the blood and
pain had ceased and In six months he
considered himself well.
We also nave n three.page letter
from an old school physician a loctur.
er In one OF tho San Francisco Medi.
cal colleges. covering a similar case
OF stone In the kidney. An operation
seemed inevitable.
He prescribed Fulton's Renal Com.
pound upon the theory that "a II was
getting results In Nephritis Il ought
70 have some effect to reduce tho In.
ilammatlon and excessive uric acid
that attends Calculus. He was 80
surprised TO get complete recovery
that nc thought n record ought TO be
made OF Il and gave us the letter
above referred TO.
Fulton's Renal Compound seems TO
have about the same percentage OF
efficiency In stone In the kidney that
Il has shown IN Brlght's Disease.
For free literature, address the
John j. Fulton Co, 2i2 First ST., San
Francisco, Cal.
Fulton's Renal Compound can be

We desire to advise with every
patient who is not getting the usua
favorable results by tae third week.

kuRN HArrIn HOMES
Miss Sessions Here to Make Her An
nual Canvass

The attention of Bennington people
has been directed to "Kurn Hattin"
Homes for the past FIVE years by
Miss Sessions who has given an OBJ
portunity to express interest in the
splendid work they are doing for
boys by waiting upon people here in
their places of business and In their
homes to explain the work and re-
ceive contributions for the cause.
This work appeals to every sober
thinking man and woman. Il means
much to the future welfare of the
state to save the boys.
! 'Kurn Hattin" has demonstrated its
ability to do this by the excellent re-
suits with boys who have lived the
/ life Of the Homes and are now self
supporting, self-respecting fellows;
working in shops, factories, stores,
officers and on farms.
Bennington has three boys in the
homes: Harold and Charles Valley
and Marshal White. The present
waiting list OF over 100 boys shows
the names of three more Bennington
boys
There are IS boys In the homes
which is the largest number ever car
ed for. There is capacity for 35 more
who will be taken just as soon as the
Income will permit.
The "Kurn Hattin" management is
very anxious that the annual budget
shall be made large enough in the
very near future to guarantee the sup
port of 100 boys which is the full ca
pacity now.
To do this 1t Is essential that none
OF the present constituency fall of,
but rather increase II possible in their
gifts and also that new donors be
found.
The annual cost per boy is $3.50. AS
Bennington has three boys in the
homes and three more II wishes Ia
send, its financial responsibility is
evident. Miss Sessions is making
her sixth visit In town and will fol
low her custom OF former years.
She is stopping at the home OF w
b. Sheldon where she may be found
evenings or mornings before 9 a. IN.
Miss Sessions wishes to express
through these columns her sincere
appreciation for the warm reception
given her by Bennington people and
also for their moral and generous q
nancial support OF "Kurn Hattin.'
