financial Affairs In Tangle.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27-Colonel
Christopher Columbus Wilson's death
leaves his financial affairs still unset
tied and a tangle of legislation growing
out Of the failure OF the United Wire
less Telegraph Company, of which he
was president, to be adjusted
Last May Wilson produced sched-
ule showing how he had spent more
than 100000 in four years He also
testified that although worth half
million dollars in 1909, his wealth had
shrunk to a gold watch and pair Of
cuff links. Colonel Wilson lived regally
before his conviction, but the receivers
search for assets has been almost a
fruitless task.

Cured at Atlanta last night, was a ma

Alexander had carried the county for
governor.
Previous to that. nobody knew really
what had happened in Union.
Unquestionably, the errors creeping
into the reports on the Broyles Pottle
race were due to the extreme and un-
reasonable length Of the ticket used in
Wednesdays primary, and to the fact
that the race, thought to be one
sided affair in the beginning, was over
looked in measure in the early returns
or more or less indifferently handled by
spOndents
1t seems a bit strange, however. at
that, that the truth could be establish
ed by no one earlier than Saturday
night.
Every newspaper in Atlanta was
seeking, of course, to present exact and
truthful figures; and that it took them
three days to get together may seem to
the irreverent something Of joke

He laid great importance to the
fact that getting a good start is
the battle half won. The old
saying that opportunity knocks
at your door but once. is trite
and true. The speaker wanted
the young men and women to be
alert, TO be watchful TO the
chance, aud improve the oppor'
tunity ere it is gone. Many a
failure is attributed to negligence
and many a success is credited
to the quick and vigilant scholar,
The step from youth to age is
out a moment, and much is TO be
done. The gigantic task of &C.
complishment is before them
and the time to begin is now.
Make your history an interest
ing story that will be helpful
stimulus for the classes in years
to come.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
PAID

The following appeared last week in
the Bloomingdale Leader, under the
heading "Our Candidate for Repre-.
seutative:"
Announcement has been received
that our fellow townsman, Charles A.
Weideufeller, is in receptive mood as
regards the office Of representative OF
the people of Van Buren, county to the
State Legislature.
"Will he get the nomination? Why
Of course. 1t is simply a case as to
whether or not the people of the county
meet the man and know who they are
voting for. Every citizen should know
the case G. A. Weidenfeler will get
their vote.
eve know him OF old; he has paid
taxes in our state for seventeen years
he knows what the voters of Van
Buren, county want and if as member
of the Legislature he should serve the
county as well as he has served old
Bloomingdale, the people will have
cause for much rejoicing.
cyan Buren, is strictly an agricultural
county, with no large cities, and we
have needs distinctly our own. We
need a man in the Legislature who can
accomplish results; who can obtain for
Van Buren, county all that is coming to
her. We want to be heard in the State
Legislature, aud when you are out after
big game, you don't want to use 100
short" You need good sized ammuui-
ton aud Mr. Weidenfeler is the right
cahber.
Here is man who has reached that
stage IN life when he cares more for the
love, respect and appreciation of his
fellow citizens than be does for the
"flthy lucre,' and il sent to the legisla-
ture you can gamble that his constitu-
ents 10 old Van Buren, will get square
deal, and will be represented by a msn
who can Ink" wherever be is placed,
whether With the Governor or the "man
behind the team
ave want such a man in the Legis
lature; one who will convince all who
meet him that Van Buren, county is or
the map 10 large letters and we know oil
no one who can fill the place to better
| advantage than Cherries A. Weidenseller
In recommending him to the voters
OF the county we feel that we but voice
the sentiment of everyone in this com
! mupity"

WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Thomas Brooks Fletcher, the we'll
known Chautauqua orator, appeared Tor
the first time in Paw Paw on Wednes-
day evening, the occasion being an ad-
dress to the graduating class OF the
Paw Paw high school. The opera house
could easily have held as many more
AS there were IN the audience, and we
have DO hesitancy in saying that those
who did not attend missed a treat while
those present enjoyed high class en-
tertainment.
The speaker. in his two hours talk on
the subject, "The Martyrdom at Fools,
demonstrated to the audience that there
is indeed fool born every minute and
that there are fools verywhere-except
here. The martyrdom Of today differs
however, from that of olden tine5-no
more burning at the stake, but more
modern method is employed to crush
TIE life of those who dare advance the
cries or ideas at variance with the exist
ing order of things.
The speaker paid glowing tribute to
the women of the country and put in a
plea for woman suffrage that was force
full anu convincing in the extreme, pre-
dieting that the day was not far distant
when the women of the whole country
would enjoy the right Of suffrage.
The results of habits formed early in
life on ones later years and even on the
unborn, was very forcibly illustrated.
Indeed, the speaker punctured his en-
tire talk with illustrations which served
as convincing arguments.
The audience showed its appreciation
of the lecture during its delivery and at
the close many remarks were heard
showing that the speaker had not only
pleased, but had awakened responsive
chord which would cause those present
to at least "think."

had found one genealogical dictionary

prises.' Such book is good for one
who finds it hard to concentrate his
mind amid the distractions of a Jour
ney.

DIR. DENNY IS BACK
 FROM NASHVILLE
Says Commencement at University Will Be of Unusual Inter- est This Year

President George H. Denny of the Uni- versity of Alabama was here yesterday attending the educational conference, hay Ing come from Nashville, where he at tended the conference for education in the south.
 Dr. Denny said yesterday that the work at the University was going along satis- factorily and that commencement this year would be of great interest, due for one thing to the unveiing of the portrait of Senator Morgan and the other interesting features of the programme.
 ''Tuscaloosa in a material way is cer- tainly booming" said pr. Denny. "The active civic improvement. the public utill- ties and everything that goes to make up a live city is throbblrg in Tuscaloosa with wonderful singleness of purpose. We are laying a great many new sidewalks streets are being bettered while the erec- ton of industrial buildings. the improve ment of residences and the construction of others are a few things that are tending to make Tuscaloosa a real live, husting city.
 For its size there cannot be any uues- ton but what Tuscaloosa is accomplish ing more than any city in the whole south.
 At the University the work is going ahead with great force and interest. The student body Is one of tho finest in the country and there is a. spirit of un- derstandlng that is of great value to the officers of the institution.
 We hope to have a very interesting commencement which will be featured by several matters of more than usual in- terest."

HIGHER PR|CESARE
 NOTED IN WHEAT Closing Figures Slightly Above Thursday-Corn
 Unchanged

Chicago. April 5.-Crop damage reports were used with effect today in bringing about higher prices for wheat. Nebraska in particular joined the bunch of states that sent in complaints of growth having been stunted or killed. Closing figures were 1sg14o to sso above last night. Corn finished unchanged to 1s9a4c up. oats at 1sG14c advance. and provisions with de- cline of 75ao to 121ac net.
 The Ohio state report showing a wheat condition of 61 per cent as against 6S in March and of S4 at harvest last year, gave to private reports of damage elsewhere more standing than such tales would otherwise have had. Thus far the travel ing experts of leading Chicago houses have all sent in optimistic opinions as to the crop outlook, but none of these cor respondents had yet visited tho sections in which the injury is alleged to be worst.
 As a matter Of fact the Kansas stories of supposed harm to winter wheat were not so numerous as on the previous day. Partly on this account there was good deal of realizing by longs, who were not SLOW 10 take duNdntASe ol lIlo pulSeS shhu make sure of profits. During the session July fuctuated from e6ssG96%c to 97ssc, and closed easy. but isqa4o up at e67sc.
 Because of light receipts here the fine weather did not count for much as an ad- verse influence In the corn crowd. Indeed, all the futures went to a new high level for the year and held up amazingly well in the profit taking sales at a lively rate. Southwestern advtoes were bearish, nota- ply decline of ss a. ton for hay at Kan sas City. In Chicago, May corn ranged from 7614@76asc to 767sc, closing steady at M01ac over last night, at 761zp76ssc- Cash grades were firm. No. yellow was not quoted.
 Oats sold at a new record price for the crop. but reacted in consequence of load ing on the part of the holders. Seeding began on high land In Illinois today and will begin throughout the central portion of the state next week. Upper and lower limits touched for May were 56c and 55lkc. with last sales lac under net higher at 55sfc.
 Packers letting go a liberal scale eased off provisions despite grain strength and light run of hogs. The product which weakened least was lard.
