Delivery Wagon
Business Growth

some interesting informa ton concern
ing his experiences. He says:
Two years ago | had five single
horse wagons and it cost me from $25
pairs, shoeing, stable charges and So
forth for each of these wagons. 1t
took FIVE men to run the wagons. These
men l paid from S12 TO S15 a week each.
I studied the automobile delivery SyS-
TEN and decided TO try it out, though
was taking long chance at a ques-
tionable game. l bought two motor
delivery wagons, which cost me $1,000
each. Now, at the end of two years,
they are not only paying investment
but have already put back into the
business more than the price 1 paid for
them. / have just begun negotiations
for the purchase of a third car. These
two cars do the work that four wagons
used TO do. They cost from $40 to s12
per month to run, and this includes
gasoline for fuel. IT also includes
charges for repairs. ! pay two drivers
from S12 to SIS per week, as / did the
wagonmen: in fact, my drivers are the
same men who used to drive my horses.
Reduced to a years expense, the COM
five wagons and the two automobiles
which do the same work would be as
follows: Wages for men. automobile
$1,400; wages for men, wagons. $2,S0S:
upkeep. fuel and soforth for the auto
mobiles, $3.50; feed for the horses and
expenses. $1,000. This gives a total
expense for the motor delivery of
SLIGO, and for the wagons S4,10S On
long haulS three deliveries can be made
where one could be made with a horse.
When we have rush orders the ma
chimes are always ready. There is no
delay about feeding, for instance I do
delivery with these two cars that would
keep five wagons jumping"

WANT ROOSEVELT
TO GO TO SENATE
Party Needs Personality Of Great
Traveller 20 Make Sure Of New

Washington, April 28-Theodore
Roosevelt for the United States senate
as successor TO Chauncey Depew. This
is the way the political prophets and
wisacres in Washington have the sit
uation In New York state figured out
They arrived at the conclusion from
many different viewpoints, but there
apparently is a consensus of opinion
that this suggestion offers solution
to a multitude of problems confront.
ing the republican party, not only In
the Empire state, but In the nation at
large.
In the general discussion of the sit
uation growing out of the appointment
OF Governor Hughes to the supreme
court bench II already has been agreed
that his retirement from politics
leaves Colonel Roosevelt as the prob
able dictator of the party In New-York
state.
The party leaders in Washington
realize, and they believe Mr.. Roose-
welt will come to realize the same
thing. that the exigencles in New York
demand a strong factor In the race this
fall If the republicans are TO gain sue
cess at the polls.
With Roosevelt as candidate for the
senate, 1t is predicted that the republi-
can party would easily retain control
OF the legislature and that the Roose-
welt personality in the campaign would
bring success TO the entire state ticket.

Kansas City, NO. April 2S.-Thomas
II. swope, Jr., testified in the criminal
court today as to how he had found
the capsules. which Or. Hyde had
thrown away on the street and recog-
nized the odor they emitted as cyanide
of potassium. DR.. Hyde wGs about
three feet from him when the capsules
were thrown away, said Swope. The
physician stamped them into the snow
after dropping them testified the wit
ness. In so far as Swope knew, DR..
Hyde did not know his actions were
observed by anyone. Accompanied by
John G. Paxton, said Swope. he made
a second visit to the point where he

ments OF three capsules. All the parts
Of capsules were sent to Chicago and
the chemists announced that they
found traces of cyanide in them.
After smelling wet cyanide, on the
hand of Hugo Brecklein in the court
room, Miss Van Nuys said It was the
same drug she smelt on the hand of
Swope after he had handled the cap
sules he picked up in the street.
DR. B. c. Hydes bond Of 100000
was revoked and the physician was
placed in the county Jail by order of
Judge Latshaw at the close of the
criminal court session last night. This
action means that Hyde will remain
in jail until declared innocent by the
jury or permitted by the court to
furnish new bond.
This action by the court was due
to the nature of the evidence present
ed by the state against Hyde yester.
day. Without notifying anyone Of his
intention Judge Latshaw summoned,
Joe l. B. Mayes, county Marshal into
the court room, after the jury had been
