The following letter was received
by a man whom the writer thought
was candidate for the state legis-
lature. AS the writer probaly does
not believe in woman's suffrage, his
letter is interesting.
Some two years ago, bill was
presented to the Georgia legislature
for enactment which, though : it
threatened woman's most cherished
right that of self Identification,
sought to throw about men all safe
guards against the allurements of
the fair sex.
GAS long as woman chooses to
remain single, she will, under the
Glenn bill, have a right to use all
aids to beauty that she desires and
exert her Establishments upon the
more susceptible sex at will.
"If she wants to get married.
however, she must appear as she
really is. The measure provided
that should a woman entrap- man
into marriage through the use. of
paints, powders, cosmetics, arti-
fetal teeth, paddings, drop stitch,
ed hose, high heeled shoes, ,corsets,
V cut waists, lingerie, or. peekaboo
waists, the marriage would, be de-
clared null and void. -
Should you be- candidate. for re-
election from the 61st, and should
you find that a similar law as the
above would meetlwith the approval
of the Constituents of the district
andoyour personal support, I shall
hereby pledge you my support at the
polls"
Evidently the writer must have
been shared by one Of the weaker
sex who did not play fair.

Already the press dispatches are
carrying news of accidents caused
by premature celebrations of the
Fourth. A little girl in Reading,
Pennsylvania, set fire to her dress
while shooting off firec1ackers and
was burned to death. Two brothers
in Sparta, Wisconsin,, were. seriously
injured by the explosion of toy
cannon which they were trying
out preparatory to the Fourth. AS
far as we know, no one here has
been injured but it would be we'll
to heed Chief Benner's warning.

The long delayed settlement of the
question of pugilistic supremacy
will be settled. AS much as we de-
plore that men still are uncivllized
enough to train months to be able
to punch each other senseless, vet
we must admit that we are savage
enough to take keen interest in
the result.

Down Six and one.t,aif Points.
New York, July 1.-The stock mar.
ket was flooded with selling orders at
the opening as an aftermath of
Wednesdays violent decline, The
opening downward plunge in prices,
after establishing new low levels for
the year, was followed by quick and
violent rebound, which made up the
opening losses in some cases. Excited
and irregular fluctuations foil wed, but
the excitement quieted down to an
extent before the first hour was over
and a. steadier tone was manifest.
Immediately after II O'Clock another
spasm of liquidation convulsed the
market and prices broke violently in
new directions. Northern Pacific and
Atchison were carried down 4 points,
Union Pacific 81, Southern Pacific

Fluctuations Are Violent.
Another feverish rebound came and
the shorts started to cover, but the
market continued excited and greatly
unsettled.
The tone of the market became de-
moralized towards noon and there
were indications that important mar.
ket pools were letting go enormous
holdings of stocks for what they
would bring.
The prices of Atchison were swept
down 614 points, Southern Pacific 5k
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
st. Paul 5, Reading AZ, Chesapeake
and Ohio 4, United States Steel 3 and
corresponding declines in practically
all OF the active stocks.
There was a violent upward reac.
ton in the quarter hour after noon,
owing to the rush of shorts to cover
on the severe break in prices.

ton B. Parker.
New York, June 90.-Judge Alton B.
Parker had narrow escape from the
bullet of an infuriated negro, who was
battling with an angry mob on Mad
ison avenue. Judge Parker had been
a passenger on a car following close
behind one on which the negro had
quarreled with the conductor, starting
small riot. The former presidential
candidate had stepped off his car and
was watching the excitement when
there was pistol shot and bullet
whizzeds by.
Plato J. Jerrey, hotel proprietor at
beach resort, is the negro whom the
police charge with firing the shot. He
was aiming, they say, at the crowd Of
men and boys who pursued him for
his assault on the conductor.
Judge Parker would not enter a
complaint against Jerrey, saying he
had not been hit and did not see the
man fire the shot.

A Prominent
Iowa Banker
Unreservedly Endorses The Neal Three
Day Drink Habit Cure In An
Open Letter Bankers.

Atlantic, Iowa, March 21st, 10.
To All Bankers and All Interested:
About the first of December,
1909, I was instrumental in inducing.
a very close friend of mine to take
the NEAL THREE DAY CURE
and treatment for the drink habit.
He took thescure at the Neal Insti.
tute, No. 8O2 Fifth Street, Des
Moines, Iowa, commencing the treat
ment on Wednesday, Dec. 9Th, 1909,
and discharged as cured and RE-
turned home on the following .Satur-
day evening, having been in the
said institute under treatment just
three days. This man as person
ally know mad been a--hard drinker
for several years-in fact had reached
a point where I am sure he could not
control the appetite for liquor.
Since taking the cure this man has
greatly improved both physically
and mentally, the habit and desire
seems to be entirely eradicated, and
l feel that the cure is permanent.
His general health is good and
nervous system wonderfully i'm
proved. also know of four other
very bad cases and the results of
same, publicly treated in this city
at our hospital in the early part of
January this year by Doctor Neal,
and they all seem to be perfectly
cured, and are leading sober and
industrious lives and supporting
their families which they have not
done before in years.
I gladly write this letter, and au-
thorize the Neal Institutes Company
to use same in any way they may de.
sire, hoping that it may be the
means of inducing some unfortune
man afflicted with this awful habit
to try the Neal Cure.
Respectfully submitted,
...- j. A. sMcWAID,
president Atlantic Nat. Bank"
The Neal is an internal treatment
that is given in 80 drop doses, no
hypodermic injections that effects a
perfect cure of the drink habit in

New York, Sept. 24.-Beaten to 4
in their penultimate game Of the sea-
son in New York, Chicago's Cubs still
moved a lap nearer cinchtown because
Pittsburg's defeat wiped off one of the
games which the Pirates had to win to
overtake US.
Barring their Unborn dislike for be-
ing defeated by New York, the most
serious part of the affair was the de-
throning of King Cole and his loss of a
possible chance to lead the pitchers
this year. On tie kings shoulders will
fall the weight of this licking. for he
was battered out of the game in the
third inning with the score 4 to 2
against him and all the kings horses
and all the kings men couldn't pull the
game back again.
The Cubs, with Harry McIntfre on
the slab. made heroic efforts to save
Cole the defeat. They succeeded in
drawing even in their half of the sixth
| inning, but in the other portion of the
same round a home run by Snodgrass
smashed the stufffng out of the tie
