NO CAMELS FOR HIM.
Col. Roosevelt Prefers Dog Cart to
"Ship of the Desert

Khartum. March 16.-The Roose-
velts reached Omdurman at 1880
o'clock today and found awaiting them
on the pier a group of British officials.
an escort of Sudanese soldiers and a
large number of Arabs. The latter in
their robes of many colors made an
interesting picture Col Roosevelt
shook hands all around.
A camel corps was in waiting, but
Col. Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt
who had had their experiences with
the ships of the DESERT the day be-
fore, elected to travel today in dog
cart. Others of their imm ediate party
mounted horses or donkeys. Mounted
police officers accompanied the cavaI-
cade which was headed by four MEM
berS of the camel corps, followers of
the Mahdi brilliantly CARRIED in gold
faced scarlet coats and turbans and
trousers snowy white. Four Identical
appearing camel riders followed the
rear guard
As the regal appearing procession
moved, Slatin Pasha pointed out the
places of interest and related the
scraps of history with which each
spot was associated.
The party first visited the arsenal
where there are many relics of the
khalifa- These interested Colonel
Roosevelt Then visit was made to
the house where Baron Slatin was in
the Mahdists in 1884, and held a pris-
oner for 13 years.
The baion related many interesting
incidents of his experiences and point
ed out a we'll which he had dug. He
dropped a stone into the pit to show
its great depth and Colonel Roosevelt
made a similar test. Slatin PaSha also
showed the place in the Mosque where
he had been compelled to pray daily.
The mosque is now used as a mess
n eff
Colonel Roosevelt inquired whether
the inspector general had been made to
pray more frequently than his compan-
ions in prison and was was told such
was the case. From the mosque the
party proceeded to the parade ground
ir- the square formed by the Khalifa's
house, his harem and his tomb.
Here a battalion of the Twelfth
SGdaneSe infantry paraded and execu-
ted a series of maneuvers. Mr.. Roose-
Welt complimented Commander Hutch
inson on the splendid appearance of his
men. AS the regiment marched past
him in columns of four, the band play
ing a smart march. Colonel Roosevelt
standing at salute, exclaimed: This is
the finest and most interesting sight
that / have seen either today or yes
terday. Il is an instructive lesson"
The party had refreshments with
Father Walder, who for 10 years was a
captive of the Madi. A brief stop was
made at the Kahlifa's house, now occu-
pied by h II. ASqu1Ih, son OF the Brit
iSh premier.
Entering the business center of the
town, Colonel Roosevelt found the
Egyptian and Sudanese boys from the
Omdurman government school dressed
in their red and white suits, lined up on
the street to greet him. Mr.. Roosevelt
addressed the boys briefly, saying
among other things:
II hope you will perpetuate the pres

Sudan"

AUTOITIS IN TOPEKA.
DR.. Pettyjohn Says Running an Auto
Is Great Strain.

Chicago, March 16.-"Running an
automobile is the greatest strain in
the world on the human body. 1t is
| not half so great a strain to run an
| track laid out for it as it is to pilot
an automobile from thirty to sixty
| miles an hour over rough roads,"
This rap at automobiling was taken
| by DR.. E. S. Pettyjohn of Topeka.
Kansas, national medical examiner of
the knights and Ladies of Security,
| who spoke Oh the general work of a
physician examining applicants for in
examiners of the order at the Hotel

Nervous Disease Gain.
"Some poet has said that man has
made many inventions for shortening
life and has succeeded admirably" said
DR.. Pettyjohn. land I think he was
right. Nervous diseases are on the in
crease, due to the strenuous life Amer
leans lead. There are more deaths from
heart disease than there were were a
few years ago. There are more deaths
from cancer than from tuberculosis in
many localities.
II think a man should live to be
125 years old. 1 base this on the
theory that the expectation OF life
should be five times the age at which
any animal reaches maturity. I think

woman. This is not true. have seen
men at 20 years and boys at 80.
have seen women at Is years and girls
at 80.
Probably we cannot lay down any hard
and fast rule in this regard. We should all
live as long as we can, and it depends
largely on ourselves how long we do live.
Personal history should be taken into con-
sideration very largely by the medical ex-
aminer. think the doctor should base his
report on an applicant for insurance one

Attorney Jeremiah H. Carmody, national

examiners attended the banquet. Other
papers on subjects concerning examina-
lions for insurance were read.

The Melting Pot.

Some Indication of the sped with
which the melting pot is at work in
Greater New York is supplied in the
quarterly report of the board of health
for the period ended June 80, 1909.
During the preceding three months,
the number of births in the CITY was
2S,132, giving the high annual rate of
24.6 per 1000 of the population. The
number of children born to parents
of American nativity was 7,40S and
the number of births in which the
mother alone was American was 1851.
Taking the foreign elements in our
population, it appears that for every
four children born to parents both of
whom are natives of Austria, one child
on-Austrian father. In other words,
one out of every five Austrian women
in New York marries a native of some
other country than Austria. The same
ratio for Germans is roughly 1 out of
4; for Irish, 1 out of 3 for Swedes,
out of 9: for Russians and Poles, 1
out of Is. and for Italians. 1 out of
rs. In other words. the two races to
which Mr.. Zangwiill chiefly looks for
Americas future in idealism and the
arts are at present putting a very small
quota in the melting pot. Taking the
figures for New York as a whole, it
would appear that for every six women
who marry their fellow countrymen
one woman cuts across national lines.
But this hate calls for a serious modi-
ffcation. The one Irishwoman out of
three who marrieS a non-IriShman by
birth is very apt to marry a man of
Irish decent, though Of American birth

New York, March 16.-That Willis
z. Davis, the millionaire clubman
and artist of San Francisco, who died
on the White Star liner Oceanic, when
she was on her way to this port, was

his wife had died on the other side.
Davis was found dead in his state
room on Saturday afternoon, pistol
bullet having caused death. When

Wis had been suffering for sometime
with congestion of the lungs.
San Francisco, Cal, March 16.-

and artist of this city. His estate val
ued at 100000 was probated in the

October, as she and her husband,
were preparing to go to Europe. La
ter he took the trip to Europe, which
ended in his suicide.

REGISTRATION IS SLOW.
Four Thousand More Required to
Reach IL Thousand Mark.

Unless the Topeka of Topeka turn
out 1000 strong tomorrow and take
advantage of their last day to register,
the books for this election will con-
tain less than the common every day
registration of city elections.
The registration today is about 12,-
$50 and the people are not coming in
as fast as the city officials and all in
terested in the first attempt at the
commission form of government
would have it.
Last night when Election Commits
sioner Titus counted the work for
the day the total was slightly over
500. This has been the best day of the
year and it is expected that the regis
tration will reach 700. But unless
about 1000 register tomorrow the
plans to reach a 1900 registration
will fall fiat.
The books are open until 10 o'clock
tonight. They open again tomorrow
morning at o'clock and will remain
open until 10 o'clock that night. Then
they will not open again until after
the final election in April. No one
can register for the coming election,
after tomorrow.

COOK MAY RUN FAIR.
Nebraska Man Considering Offer as
Secretary of State Fair.

Executive committee of the Kansas
State Fair Association met at the Com
mercial club this noon and listened to
suggestions offered by II. L. Cook. whJ
has been chairman of the board OF diTec-
tors of the successful Nebraska state fai-
at Lincoln.
Mr. Cook had gone over the local fair
grounds and expressed himself as belev-
ing that in many particulars this tract
OF land is ideal for the holding Of a state
fair. He is believer in a compact fair,
and in his opinion the location of the fair
grounds, together with the street car and
other facilities which could not be enjoyed
were the fair located at some distance
from the city, may be considered a Va'u-
able asset.
On account of the location he considers
that evening attractions can also be made
one of the great drawing cards OF a sue
cessful fair.
Mr. Cook is now considering a PROPOSE
ton made to him to accept the position OF
secretary of The State Fair.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
TO its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

HAULING STONE
ON STATE ROAD

The Montour county court Monday
took cognizance of method of repair
ing public roads that is much execrat,
ed by the general travelling public, al
though it finds favor with township
supervisors and is pretty. generally
practiced in this part of the State. AL
lusion as had to the method of dump
ing large stones from the field or
quarry on the public highways instead
of..using broken or crushed stone Mon
day was the first that this particu-
lar cause for complaint was acted up
on by the Montour county court.
The matter was introduced by W. J.
Badly after the constables had present.
ed their returns. He complained of a
State road in Derry township, leading
to Washingtonville north and south,
where, he alleged, large stones from the
quarry have been dumped in the road
promiscuously, large number stand
ing on'end, where the sharp edges on
the upper side injure horses feet and
puncture automobile tires. Speaking
for himself, he said, he had been OBJ
liged to go several miles around in
driving from Danville to his farms in
Limestone township.
Mr.. Baldy explained that he had ex-
pected the constable from Derry town.
ship to report the road, especially, as
it had lain in that condition for at
least couple of weeks. When the con-
stable reported the roads in Derry
township as good he decided to bring
the matter before court himself. Judge
Evans at once took up the matter, call
ing the constable of Derry township
before him. The latter-Wesley Hollo-
baugh-acknowledged that the condi-
tions were truly described by Mr.
Badly, but that he had understood that
the practice of hauling stone in the
road was permissible; also that it had
been represented to him that the stone
were to be covered with dirt.
Judge Evans informed the constable
that he considered him derelict in not
reporting the road, which he consider
ed an example of wilful neglect. The
district attorney was notified to call
the attention of the supervisors to con-
ditions at the points complained of at
once If the roads are not put in good
condition forthwith, proceedings are
to be started. Judge Evans declared
that if supervisors who maintain bad
roads were indicted, in his opinion,
they would be convicted,

BLOOM HERE TO-DAY

This afternoon at 3:l5 o'clock at
Athletic park Bloomsbury will en-
deavor to wrest another victory from
the Danville victory trust and-some-
body's going to be disappointed. The
local boys are feeling fit to say the
least, and fail to see any possible
chance of losing. Bloomsbury too
seems rather confident and things
promise to ham.
Manager Hoffman will work Rowe
and Kelly in the points. Hine, of
course, will do the twirling for the
visitors.
In communication with President
McCollum last evening it was learned
that Walsh, of Wilkes Barre, will look
after the game today.
Walsh is new in Susquehanna League
circles, but has had considerable eX-
perience as an umpire in the Connecti-
cut State league.
The fans of both teams are working
their bugs overtime in anticipation of
the fray and the crowd will likely be
one of the largest of the season.
Bloomsbury will carry along some
hundreds of dyed the wool Par.or-
cityites to help things along and Dan
vile will possibly do some yelling
some. Anyway it will be a game to
ponder over.
