Cause of Writer'S Cramp.

Medical authorities now claim that
"writer's cramp'' and other similar
states Of apparent muscular paralysis
are actually due, not to the firing of
the muscles. but to brain flag. 1t ap-
pears that the particular part of the
brain which controls special combina-
lions of muscle action. such as the
movements Of writing or the working
of atelegraphk key, tends to become more
quickly exhausted in some individuals
than in others. Such exhaustion leads
to a state in which the brain is actual
ly unable to send out its necessary
messages to the hands and fingers to
write, tap a key. hold a violin bow.
etc. Furthermore. once the nerve cells
(the '~'batteries' of the brain) get thor
oughly IL down it is not easy to re-
store their energy. Heretofore it has
been supposed that all troubles of the
kind were due simply to overtiring of
the muscles concerned.

ton. The conditions prevailing at

review by Henry Clews, a high W
thority upon financial and industrial
matters, who is not Influenced in any
way by political considerations. Mr..
Clews compares the conditions that
now obtain with those prevailing in
1896 { after two years experience with
democratic tariff legislation J. his x
hibit being 10 part as follows:
An idea of the prosperity that exists
in the agricultural sections of our
country at the present time may be
gathered from a comparison of pre-.
sent prices with those available for
the grain crops in the year Of large
production 10 1896. In the earlier
year it will be recalled the production
of corr was 80 large that the farmers
actually burned that cereal. finding
it cheaper to do this than purchase
fuel. The price of September delivery
In Chicago in 1896 for corn declined
as low as 1911 cents a bushel. Today
it is about IS cents q bushel and we
have every reasonable expectation OF
3 1000, 600, 000-bushel yield.
Oats for September delivery in 1896
sold in Chicago at l41 cents q bushel.
Today's price is about 81 cents, and
we have this year an experimenting
production.
September wheat in the earlier year
| have named sold at 482c in Chicago.
1t is now selling at about 92c, and W
have a 700, 600, 000-bushel crop, in
round numbers, virtually made.
Under these circumstances it seems
q practical impossibility that we
can 20 through the year without q
severe congestion in our railroad
facilities. This is a contingency that
we must expect to meet. Railroad
traffic statements have already begun
to reflect the improvements due to in.
creased tonnage; aud, as comparisons
will necess arily be made with a CON-
paratively lean year, the monthly and
other statements to be issued by rail
roads from now on will furnish q
frequent stimulus to the market for a
considerable time ahead.

A z BY POLITICS.

The attempt of John Schrank, o.
New York, 10 kill former President
Roosevelt in Milwaukee last evening
is 30 illustration of the risks men OF
prominence run In the heat of 9 poll
tical campaign. Schrank that he Is
insane, but it was pure luck that the
bullet fred by q crazy man did not
prove fatal. Schrank, like others OF
weak mind, had evidently brooded
over the third term idea until he had
become obsessed with the belief that
it was his duty TO kill the former
president.
While those who oppose the ambi-
tions of Colonel Roosevelt undoubted.
ly constitute q vast majority of the
people of the United States, neverthe.
less he has few personal enemies. Those
most active in their opposition to the
policies for which he stands have no
personal enmity, and they will unite
with his warmest friends and most
loyal followers in c~ondemning the act
OF the crazy German, and will rejoice
tn at the result OF the attempted assassi-
nation was no more serious than it
was.
President Taft. Woodrow Wilson,
Eugene Debs, in fact every man who
runs for the presidency, takes the risk
OF falling q victim 20 the bullet, the
knife or the bomb of the insane per-
son, who has the belief that his life is
we'll given if he can put out of the way
the candid ate whom he thinks Is q
men ice to the country. This class
of irresponsibles is one of the most
difficult to deal with. There is prob.
ably not q man or woman In the coun-
try but who on first hearing of the at
tempt to kill Colonel Roosevelt had
the thought that his asssilant should be
given short shrift. But when it is re-
membered that Schrank Is undoubted-
ly mentally irresponsible, and 1t Is re.
called that there are scores and prob.
ably hundreds of others just like him
in the country, 1t Is difficult to deter.
mine what punishment should be met
ed out.
No punishment that could be visited
upon Schrank would act as a deterrent
upon any other insane person, and
this makes the problem what to
do with such as he hard one to solve.
There will be rejoicing In every town
Bnd hamlet, in every city in the
United States today, that Colonel
Roosevelt not only escaped with his
life, but that his injury is of as trivial
a nature as his ply sicians report

Roosevelt Shows Grit.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 15.-"I do not care
a rap about being shot; not q rap"
said Colonel Roosevelt, speaking to a
vast audience here with q bullet in his
body.
~"Friends," he began, ~ shall have
to ask you to be as quiet as possible.
l do not know whether you fully under
stand that l have just been shot, but
it takes more than that to kill a bull
moose. But fortunately l had my

uscript showing the audience where
the bullet had gone through so you
see | was going to make a long speech.
And friends. the hole is in it, but the
bullet wen through and it probably
saved it from going into my heart.
The bullet ia in me now, so that l can
not make a very long speech. But |
viii try my best.
"And now, friends I want to take
adv antage of this incident to say as
solemn q word of warning as I know
how to my fellow Americans. First
of all, I want to say this about my
self. l have altogether too many I'm
portant things to think of to pay any
heed or feel any concern over my owr
death. Now l would not speak to you
%insincerely within five minutes of be-
ing shot. I am telling you the literal
truth when l say that my concern II
for many other things. 1t is not il

GUM FOR CANOE CALKlNG.
An EfHeien. Article Can 30 Made From
Rosin and vaseiine.

Rosin and Vaselino.
Considerable need is often expert.
enced by c%anoeists and boatmen gen.
orally in the lack OF a good canoe gum
to stop leaks or breaks which may
occur in the calking of the boat, says
the Scientific American. When canoe
ing in the northern waters Of Canada
or on the lakes in the Adirondacks and
the Rockies it is often inconvenient or
impossible to obtain a ready made rum
which will answer this purpose.
A good canoe gum must answer sew
eral demands-first. it must be suff-
GENTLY pliable so as not to break and
powder when in the cold water and
under strain; second, it must not melt
and run in the sun when the canoe is
beached for a short time; third, it
must not dissolve or soften when in
the water. and. last. it must set hart!
in a few moments if it is to meet the
requirements of al emergency. I:
goes without saying that the raw ma.
terial must be easily accessible and
the price as low as possible.
All these demands are adequately
met by a gum compounded of rosin
and vaseline. and the gum can be
made in any water tight dish which
may be heated I've IN open fire. One
part Of vaseline and four parts Of
rosin. by weight. heated until dissolv-
ed in each other will give a gum
which. at summer temperature. is soft
and easily dented. This is the con-
sistency required for a gum to prevent
crumbling in cold waters, such as Lake
Superior.
A material compounded of 10 per cent
vaseline and 80 per ent rosin is quite
brittle when cold. However. in warm
err waters farther south this gum is
sufficiently pliahle and does not soften
or melt readily in the sun.
Addition Of roSin makes the gum
harder and more brittle: adding more
vaseline makes it softer and tougher.
so that any consistency may be had
from the hardness of rosin to the soft
ness of vaseline.
The above ingredients compounded
in the proportions of 10 to 20 per cent
Of vaseline and 90 to so per CEN of
rosin will answer all the requirements
of u first class n rum. 1t may be
carried in a tin or wrapped in paper.
and it melts easily ove the flame Of
a match and sticks like glue to warm
ed surfaces. Any coloring matter may
be stirred into the hot liquid gum. For
example. chinese blue gives a blush
green color. red lead gives a brilliant
red. and chrome green yields a bril-
liant green. The best proportions are
one part of mineral pigment to one part
Of gum. The addition of pigments
makes the gum very hard.

Intent To Kill.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 14.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt was shot and
wounded tonight az he was leaving
the Fitzpatrick hotel for the Coliseum
to make a speech. The wound was
not serious and the colonel went on to
the hall and delivered his speech after
be had seen the assassin arrested and
taken to the police station.
Albert J. Martin seized the assassin
and held him until policemen came up,
A mob surged around the man, who
apparently is q radical on the subject
OF R~oosevelt's running fol another
term for president. The assassin,
who is of small stature, admitted firing
the shot, and said that "any man
looking for q third term ought to be
shot,"
Notes found in the mans pocket at
the police station were statements that
the man had been visited in a dream
by the spirit Of William Mckinley,
who had said, indicating Roosevelt,
This 10 my murderer; avenge my
death"
1t is believed that Colonel Roose-
velt's injury is not serious. The COL
onel felt no pain at the time the shot
was fred and was not war that he
al shot until he was on the way to
the Auditorium. His attention was
then called to q hole in his overcoat
and he found that he was not hurt
badly. A superficial examinatio OF
the wound was made when he reached
the Auditorium, and three physicians
agreed that he was in no danger.
Colonel Roosevelt's life probably
was saved by a manuscript which re.
tarded the force of the bullet as i,
passed through into the flesh.

TAFT DEFINES ISSUES.

An interesting contribution to cur
President Taft In an article written for
the Saturday Evening Post, in which
the president defends his administra.
ton from what he considers unjust
criticism. The opening portion of
Mr.. Taft's statement is to this effect:
When | took the oath OF the highest
Office in the gift my Of fellow citizens it
vas with 40 lack of appreciation of
the great honor that had been done me,
but with an Infinitely greater realiza-
ton of the heavy, the almost terrible.
responsibility that rests on the Presi'
dent of the United States. To me
there came "a a heritage the noble
records of those who had gone before.
w ashington and Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield, Mckinley and Roosevelt,
great presidents and great republi-
cans.
On me rests the responsibility OF
maintaining the high standard they
had set, OF doing credit to my party
by serving the country to the best OF
my ability, and of carrying On to sue
cesetul fruition those wise policies
devised by my predecessors, which
had become synonymous with repub-
licanism as they were with good gov
eminent. And have kept the faith.
Ours is the party that does things,
3 distinguished from those who mere
ly oppose and those who only propose.
Under this skillful guidance many
storms have been w%eathered, many
vicissitudes have been survived
Falls cies have commanded public con
idence and lost it. Our opponents
have espoused such nostrums as
greenbackism and free silver, while
we have preserved the even tenor oil
our way, unshaken by the storm, and
ultimately it has been given us to
prove that these panaceas were no,
progress and that advancement could
be made only along q lines, ster
by step-that it was and is "liberty

the past four years. They appointed
delegates to the state democratic con-

the distinct understanding, however,
that the appointment Of a delegation
should in no way be constructed as
an abandonment by them of the prin-
