ALLDS' MAN WINS
 IN 9TH DISTRICT
Thomas, Republican, Defeats Nash, Democratic.

Ralph w. Thomas was elected to the state senate from the Thirty-seventh district, to succeed Jotham P. Aids, former majority leader, who resigned just before the vote sustaining charges that he solicited and accepted a bribe of $1,00O was taken up by the senate, His majority was 2,100.
 The result of the election is looked upon by Aids followers as a vindica- tion of the former senator.
 Voting in the special election was in the three counties of Chenango, Ot- sego and Madison. The managers of both candidates, Ralph W. Thomas, Republican, and Edward L. Nash, Democrat, ended the campaign ex- pressing their confidence of victory, but there were indications of a. de- cided lack of harmony in the Repub- Hcan organization.

EDWARD lPAYsoN WESTON.

1. He did not walk on Sundays, and they are deducted by him in speaking of his time, seventy-seven days. The distance of his route by railroad meas urement is 3,483 miles, but he made detour to the Grand canyon of Color ado of 12S miles, which makes the dis tance as he figures it 3,611 miles. West ern railroad men say, however, that he should be credited with greater mile age, for he made hundreds of side ex- cursions from the railroads to get a better path. His longest days walk was seventy miles. se'
 Weston's two previous great pedes- trian feats were his walk from Port land, Me-, to Chicago, which began Oct. %, 1867. and ended Nov. 2S, 1867, and his walk from Portland, Me, to San Francisco, which began Oct. %, 1907, and ended in 104 days. This trip was by way of Portland, Ore, and the distance was 4,3OO miles. He reached Chicago in the 1907 trip in twenty-four hours less time than it took him forty years earlier. His daily average dis tance in the walk which ended yester- day was about three miles better than the average on the walk in 1907.

A Romantic Career.

The romantic career of a very re- markable man, John Gully, who sec onded Cribb in his battle with Moli- neaux, is thus summed up in the "Dictionary of National Biography" :" ''Prizefighter, horse racer, legislator and colliery proprietor" Gully fought his first fight just before Trafalgar. He fought his last and retired from the prize ring in a blaze of triumph seven years before Waterloo. Gully rose to be a rich man and member of parliament. He won the Derby three times and was the owner of a large and prosperous colliery. He died in 1863, the father of twenty-four chill dren.

RAISING FREIGHT RATES.
Advance Credited to Higher Wages
 and CostIier Material.

Advance Credited to Higher Wages
 and CostIier Material.
 Officials of the trunk line railroads that operate in the territory between the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic seaboard are now at work on a read justment of rates which will bring to all of them some increases in revenue in both freight and passenger traffic. The water and rail routes as well as the standard and differential rail lines are taking part in the negotiations.
 Increased operating expenses, due to recent advances in wages, higher cost of materials and increased taxation. impel to the adjustment. The plan as outlined at present cOntemplates a rad ical change in the relations of various rates, whereby the largest advances will be made on articles of luxury and the higher 'class of manufactured goods. This will involve an increase in class rates more nearly proportionate to the value of the commodity shipped. The raise, although heavy on the high CT classes, will be graded down so as to amount to but a small advance on articles in the lower class.
 In view of the large amount of de- tail work involved there is small prob ability of the changes going into effect before congress acts on the proposed amendment to the Hepburn act.
 The railway wage advances already made or to be made before the end of the year are now estimated at S1OO.- OOOOOO for the entire country.

TAGGART IS BEATEN
 IN SENATE. FIGHT.
Kern Wins Indiana Democratic Nomination.

Through a combination of the friends of Governor Marshall and John W. Kern, the Taggart element in the Dem pcratlc party in Indiana was put to rout in the state convention.
 Kern was nominated for the United States senate. Thomas Taggart and eight other men were in the field against him.
 Taggart's defeat was foreshadowed when the convention by a vote of S8S1a to 8521a, decided to adopt Governor Thomas R. Marshalps plan to nomi- mate candidate for the senate.
 Taggart, with all his influence as former chairman of the Democratic national committee, opposed this pro- gram. At times the proceedings were so stormy that blows were struck.
 Under the rule of the convention the determination to name senator was followed by nominations for the place and ten candidates were presented as follows: G. V. Menzier of Mount Yer
 
 Joseph H. Shea of Seymour, l.. B. Slack of Franklin, John B. Lamb of Terre Haute, Tom Taggart of Indian apolis, John W. Kern of Indianapolis, Lawrence Becker of Hammond, D. W. Sims of Lafayette, B. G. Hoffman of Fort Wayne.
 On the first ballot Taggart led with 228 votes, Marion county giving him 179 and the others being scattered over the state. Kern received POO votes. On the second ballot there was man. fest slump from other candidates to Kern. He appeared in the convention and declared that no one had been au- thorized to place him in nomination and that he was not a candidate. The convention howled him down, and it was evident that there was settled purpose to nominate him after compli- menting the other candidates.
 On the second ballot he received CAT votes and with the nomination within his grasp he appeared upon the plat form and declared that he would not accept if nominated.
 It was during that ballot that Tag gart withdrew his name, saying that the Taggart machine had been sent to the scrap pile and Marion county would give Kern 1855 votes.
 The third roll call was ordered and Kern received TIP votes. At this juhcture John B. Lamb withdrew in favor of Kern and all the other candi- dates following, his nomination was made unanimous. el
 The platform adopted threw few bouquets at the party and little inter- est was manifested in any except the tariff and liquor blanks, both of which the Republicans lodged in their plat form.
 The declaration in favor of city and township local option and the modifi- cation of the present law forces the liquor question into the campaign de- spite the fact that the Republicans ig- nored it and the party will be com pelled to defend the county local op- ton. .."

Inertia of the Nerves.

The researches and experiments of a French scientist have led him to the conclusion that the cerebral nervous system is incapable of perceiving more than an average of ten separate im- pressions per second. After each ex- citation of the nerves a period of in- ertia follows, lasting about one-tenth of a second, and during this period a new impression cannot be made. Ac- cording to the investigations of this scientist a person cannot make more than ten or at the most a dozen sep arate voluntary movements of any kind in a second, although the muscles, independently of the will, are capable of making as many as thirty or forty.

Jersey Farmers Surprised at Price of
 Black Walnut.
 Farmers in the region of South Or ange, N. J., who are so fortunate as to have black walnut trees on their land are getting good prices for them. A man from Wilmington, Del, is buying the trees to send the wood to Ger many, where is it cut into veneer.
 Some years ago black walnut was so plentiful there that 1t was used for fence posts. When the Wilmington alan came along and offered $50 for some old tree the farmers thought he was a confidence man, and when he jumped the offer to $1O0 they felt sure he was and wouldn't have anything to do with him. He later convinced them by the color of his money that he meant business.
