various Office rooms took their turn

were shown throughout every part

HAS BAD EFFECT
ON STOCK MARKET

New York, Feb. 14.-Disap-
pointment in high financial cir

Nearly all the stock in the

over, however, there was brisk
recovery, and signs of strength
were evident all along the line.

Fears That Loss of Popularity

MAY LOSE THE NEXT HOUSE
Thinks the Lack of sagacity and De-
flciency in Aggressive Militant
Earnestness Has Alienated the
People Who Believed That He

Roosevelt.

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 14.-The
Kansas City Star, the first paper in
the middle west to urge the nomina-
ton of VIM. H. Taft for the presi-
dency, and whose editor, w. r. Nell
son, is personal friend of the chief
executive, says today:
I'm his speech in New York Pres
ident Taft admitted loss of popu-
larity for his administration that
might cause the Republican party to
lose the house of representatives.
"He might have gone even far
ther.
80 great has the detection been
that if a presidential eection were
to be held next November, there is
probably but one Republican,
Roosevelt, who would stand
chance of carrying the country
against ticket headed, for exam
pie, for Gaynor or Folk.
In all this transformation of pub
lie sentiment there has been little
bitterness.
Instead there has been general
sorrow over loss of confidence in q
president of charming personality
and right intentions, who partly
from temperament, partly from lack
of sagacity, and partly from a de-
ficiency in aggressive militant ear
nestness, has allenated the people
who believed they had found in him
a man to carry out the work Of
Roosevelt"

Jumped OF Speeding Train.

The evening train from Wayne was
over half an hour late Tuesday night,
the reason for it being that man who
found himself aboard the wrong train,
about two miles out of Wayne, jumped
from the fast moving car, throwing all
the passengers aboard into state of
excitement. They believed he had
gone insane and committed suicide.
The train crew managed to have the
train stopped and returned to pick up
the presumably dead man, who was
found making his way back to Wayne
The train backed all the way to
Wayne and then again started on it's
way.
The man, whose name has not been
learned, climbed aboard the Norfolk
train, believing he was headed for
Wakefield. He sat composed until no.
titled that he was on his way to Nor
folk. Springing from his seat he
reached the platform of the car and
leaped out. Two women are said to
have tainted and excitement prevailed.

Has Disanpeared.

Clarkson Herald: Emil Mrsny has
disappeared and his family, relatives
and friends are much worried as to
his whereabouts. He is farming the
John Rybacek place near Heun. Last
Wednesday he came in from the field,
hitched his team to a buggy, and
without making a change of clothing
drove to Schuyler, wnere he put mis-
team in a feed barn, since which time
no trace of him has been found. His
family relations were the most pleas
ant, as to his finances he was in fair
circumstances, being an industrious,
thrifty young man of good habits.
Mrs. Mrsny says he had brooded over
poor crop prospects, and 1t is feared
that his mind has been affected, and
that he has strayed away or possibly
taken his life. This morning his
brother, John, with Peter Hajek,
Adolph Fiala and Charles Renter went
TO Schuyler to institute search for
him.
