IL ID composed OF the same materials
that human beings are made Of viz.
dust and water.

the year. At this period II is largely
used by automobiles. 1t Is COOL for
rheumatism and turtles. In Pittsburg
and ST. Louis It is taken with meals.
Mud is a counterirritant for armies
Hannibal encountered II and Napoleon

mixed with the best thoughts
Inc earth has been trying to get
rid OF Its mud ever since It begun. but
1t still sticks, in spite OF countlc -
revolutions. Beside. II It fell off there

INVESTIGATION TALKING IN
CANHON'S TERRITORY

West Union and Adams county
in the Buckeye state are not to be
allowed to have monopoly in the
investigation Of the disgraceful
barter and sale of ballots. There
seems to be a disposition elsewhere
to calculate that in its capacity as
home of presidents Ohio has quite
distinction enough, and that it
cannot hope to monopolize any
other.
Hence it is that in Danville, ILL.,.
the home of Uncle Joe, there has
been born movement in emulation
Of that Of Judge Blair of West
Union, and u grand jury has been
asked to institute an Investigation
for the publication of the franchise
and elections.
This movement at Danville is not
openly aimed at the election Of
Uncle Joe of that vicinity in his
vigorous grasp. but while the
proposition is ostensibly to investi-
gate the election of the Danville
mayor, it is proposed to go back
three years, which would take. in
about two of Uncle Joe's trium.
plant vindications at the polls Just
whose scalp the grand jurors arc
after does not appear from the
dispatches, but out here we may
seemingly rest in the assurance that
it cannot be the scalp of our friend
W. l.. Cundiff, who went dowr
last fall before the tide of popular
favor for the venerable warrior
who has pcrsistently shown his
fighting spirit to the majority Of
the members OF the lower house Of
Congress.
1t may safely be concluded that
if there are purchaseable votes al
Danyille. the fact was not over.
looked by the interests that were
desperately bent ,!., on the recollection
of Uncle, Joe / Cannon. and the
reiterated prOmiie Of a genuine
sensation from that quarter must
be taken to indicate that there arc
some big fish in imminent danger
of being drawn into the net. q
Next comes New Jersey, the
home Of the trust. At Atlantic
City a commission from the legi-
stature has begun an investigation
of election frauds involving
methods besides which the peaceful
purchase of entcrprising voters l.
commonplace proceeding. Steal
ing the poll books and throwing
election judges out of the polls in
one instance, and giving an
election official knockout drops
in pitcher of water in another to
put him off watch, may suggest
themselves an methods much cruder
than the one that has excited 50
much ridicule in Ohio.
Then comes the voice of protest
from the Montana legislature,
which assumes to have manifested
the true inwardness of the two
Democratic votes that were cast
for Lodge senator. 1t smacks SO
much of the Lorimer brand Of
craftsmanship that its aroma ha'
reached clear to Montana.
Time and the popular mood seem
propitious for a general house

HOWARD TELLS WHY
Says He Objected to Only One Clause
in Union Contract.

H. B. Howard. who has been boy
cotted by the local electricians union
because he would not sign contract
with the union including this clause:
land shall refuse to employ any but
union men unless said employee shall
first secure a permit from the local
union takes a slap at union men.
81 am a union man at heart but am
sorry to say that efficiency is not al
ways a requirement in securing a card
and membership, and that more effort
is spent in procuring advantageous
contracts for the members (good or
bad) than is spent in improving the
efficiency of the members.
1.-THE clause which I objected to is
not square; is not decent; is not Amer
lean, and I refused to be a party to
any such deal judge each employee
on his merits and not on account of
his being a member of some organiza-
ton.
Il am frank to admit that there are
members of the electrical union that
could not conscientiously employ and
send out to do work. OF my workmen
in the electrical department I was en-
plcying twelve men on inside and out
side construction; of these, five were
union men and had I signed the con-
tract seven would have lost their jobs
or been compelled to get permits to
work from the union"

WAS ONLY A BOY.
Earl Taylor, Who Shot Himself, a
Rover, Says Father.

The body of Earl s. Taylor, who shot
himself at the Glenwood hotel sun
day morning in retribution for having
caused a woman to commit suicide in
Denver year ago, was taken to his
old home in Monnett, Mo-, last night
by his father, F. NJ Taylor, and a
brother.
Earl was only 21 but he has been
at home little since he was Is. He
has been all over the country and
seemed never to be satisfied any
where said his father as he turned
away from the corpse at Shella barger's
undertaking rooms last evening. He
was at home month ago. coming
from New York. He made good money
While he was there because he was
good cook and could get good wages,
but had to help him get out of the
city when he wanted to 1eave.''
Taylor had $6.Se counted out on his
bed when he was found dead Sunday
morning. That was all the money he
possessed. His job as second cook at
the National hotel. however, paid him
$50 a month and board.
coroner's jury found that the
death was plain case of suicide. Raw
clearinghouse and Wallace Mcdowell
the two bell boys who discovered the
dead body, agreed on the particulars
Taylor had shot himself directly in the
middle of the forehead evidently
pushing the trigger with his thumb as
the thumb of his right hand was
showed through the guard of the re-
volver when the body was found.
Fins Stewart, the fry cook at
the National testified that Taylor had
been in good spirits when he left work
Saturday night about O'Clock. Before
leaving Taylor had asked Stewart if he
did not want a drink. saying he had a
pint of whisky in his locker in the
basement The whisky bottle was
found nearly empty lying beside the
money on the bed in Taylor's room.
The dead mans father said he had
never heard of the woman who is sup
posed to have passed as TayIor's wife
in Denver and for whose suicide he
took the blame.

Men, as a rule, are first discovered

of merit will lie in being able to stand

1t was only in this way that Mr..

COLDS AND GRIPPE GO
How to Cure a Bad Cold and End
Grippe Misery in Few Hours.

Nothing else that you can take will
break your cold or end grippe so
promptly as a dose of Pape's Cold
Compound every awo hours until three
consecutive does are taken.
The most miserable headache, dull
ness, head and nose stffed up, fever
ishness, sneezing, running of the nose,
sore throat, mucous catarrhal dis
charges, soreness, stiffness, rheuma-
tism pains and other distress begin
to leave after the very first dose.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at cost of
more than fifty thousand dollars, and
contains no quinine, which we have
conclusively demonstrated is not ef-
fective in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other
assistance or bad after effects as a Is
cent package of Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

How Many Women
Keep Young

"A woman may be old at IS and
young at So" says Mrs. Margaret
Holmes Bates, prominent Chicago
club woman. years don't matter.
Didn't Ninon de L'Enclos have pro-
posaI at 9O?''
The youth of our women is more
lasting than it was a generation ago,
because we are becoming acquainted
with simple physiological laws. When
the first aging marks appear-wrinkles
baggy cheeks, neck and chin-We
realize that the cause is a loOsening of
the skin and so.tening of the tissue
underneath. We know the cause must
be removed. Instead of laying on
pastes we send to the drug store for
an ounce of saxolite and a half pint
of witch hazel, mix them and bathe
face neck and hands in the solution.
We know this tightens the skin, solidi-
fies the tissues, induces a healthy cir
culation. We treat causes rather than
effects We use reason-and stay
young.

KANSAS CITY SINKING
Tremors Felt on Kansas Side in Cen
ter Of Town.

Kansas City, Oct 24.-Persons in
the downtown districts of Kansas
City, Kan, felt strange sinking of
the earth Monday afternoon. There
was no tremor such as accompanies an
earthquake but a sinking sensation
that lasted less than a second.
WOrkmen on the new city hall
thought that the walls had given way
and hastily came down to the ground.
Persons in the old city hall next door
thought that the foundations had com
menced to crumble and Mayor Porter
ordered them inspected, but nothing
was found to be wrong.
The sensation was most severe along
Sixth street from Sandusky to Mime
sofa avenue. For some time buildings
in this portion of the city have been
settling. Property owners have found
it necessary to have doors rehung and
windows reset
Flower pots trembled and gas man
ties were shattered. In the stone resi-
dence of John Dugan, the chandeliers
shook. Plate glass windows were
shaken. Telephone bells jingled and
several clocks were stopped.
In the sleeping room of the firemen
at the city hall, Robert Patterson was
awakened by the settling movement.
He went down the pole to see what
was wrong, but the men on the ground
floor had not noticed the tremor.
Along the business streets the sink
ing was so slight that while many
persons noticed it, others at work be-
side them did not The sensation was
attributed to the wind or to a slight
settling of buildings. Bedrock is found
at no great depth under this portion
of the city. The sinking is gener-
ally attributed to a settling of a stra tum
of stone under the portion of the city
