DRYDEN Gave About $4,000

The late John Dryden, presi-
dent of the Prudential Life In
surance Company and United
States Senator from New Jersey,
dumped about $4,000 into the
Roosevelt fund. Mr.. Dryden
seemed to have been relied upon
to pass the hat to a good many
of the interests that would profit
through the maintenance of a
high protective tariff.
There were contributions on
the list from concerns of this
character ranging all the way
from manufacturers of wooden
cloths to tne manufacturers of
steel products.
Jacob II. Schiff contributed
$50 600 ana seems to have been
active in collecting money in be-
half Of Mr.. Roosevelt from other
bankers in the downtown dis
trict OF New York.
Isaac Seligman gave 500, 900;
Speycr & Co., $4,000; Henry c.
Prick, $50, OOC, and the Guggen-
helms, who recently have been
bitterly attacked by Roosevelt,
dropped $4,000 into the 1904
pot.

Railroads Big Contributors.

The list shows that nearly all
the great railroad interests CON
tributed to the Roosevelt cam
paign fund in sums ranging
from $25, 900 to 1926, 900. 1t
shows further that many of the
big bankers of New York were
lgiven by Standard Oil officials
$1,000
But the most startling dis
closures in the document sub
mitted today was the enormous
fund contributed or raised by
George W. Perkins, who is now
the Colonel's principal financial
hacker. Mr.. Perkins, accord
ing TO the evidence submitted
today, turned $26O,O00 over to
the Roosevelt fund in 1904. This
does not include the $4,000
contributed by j. P. Morgan 4
Co., or $4,000 by the Internat-
ional Harvester Company. The
list shows that all told at least
$43O.G00 went TO the Roosevelt
fund from the so-called Morgan
interests. This was just about
one-quarter Of the entire fund
raised.
In addition to the contribution
hade by Mr.. Perkins and Mr.
Morgan, E. I. Stotesbury, who
IS known as one Of Mr.. Morgan's
Philadelphia partners, raised
about $4,000.
E. II. Hartman, represent.
ing the Union Pacific interests
contributed $15O,OOO; George J
Gould Of the Missouri Pacific

DUETS ALL CONTROVERSY
Document Given to 1904 Secretary by
Treasurer Placed Before
Clapp Committee.
CFrom New YORK SUM

Washington, Oct. 49, The
mystery and uncertainty sur
rounding the much discussed list
Of contributors to Col. Boose-
Welt s 1904 campaign were dissi-
pated today when Elmer Dover
Former secretary Of the Repub-
lican National Committee, laid
Before the Senate Investigators
a complete statement of con
tributions.
This list had been copied from
the books of Cornelius n. Bliss,
treasurer of the 1904 Roosevelt
campaign, and had been laid
away by Dover in Chicago to be
called forth for the future guild
ance of Republican managers in
The frying Of campaign fat.
The presentation of this list
by Mr.. Dover was one Of the
most sensational developments
that has occurred in the present
inquiry. It settles for all time
the controversy over the 1904
fund, which began with the Al
ton B. Parker charges eight
years ago and has cropped out
intermittently ever since.
The list as submitted by Mr..
Dover also goes far toward set.
ting the controversy about the
E. H. Hartman contribution OF
$500 in 1904. The list
gives the names Of the contri-
butors to that fund and thus
indicates that the treasurer re-
garded the gifts as part Of the
funds for the national organiza-
ton, and not, as Col. Roosevelt
has contended, to be used ex,
elusively for the saving of Hig,
gins in New York State.

nothing Of any contribution by
Mr.. Stillman. In fact Mr..
Cortelyou has said that he knew
nothing Of any of these large
contributions.
The contributors of the Harri-
man $250,O00 fund seem to ap-
pear together in the list of sub
scribers. The first name in the
group is J. p. Morgan, who is
down for $4,000. Then follow :
James H. Hyde, $25, 900; |. NJ.
Seligman, $1,000; C. N. Bliss,
5000; James Stillman, $4,000;
E. II Hartman, $4,000; II. c..
Frick, $4,000; D.. 0. Mills, 49,
900; Ii. Mex. Twombly, $4,000;
4. 7. Stotesbury, $4,000; G. w.
Perkins, S3O,0OO. These together
just make The $250,0OO gathered
by Mr.. Hartman and turned
over to Mr.. Bliss ON the eve Of
the 1904 election.
The Standard Oil contributions
appear in a list under the initials
Oh. II. R. and j. D. W" The
"W" is apparently a mistake
by the copyist, the initials pre-
sumably standing for H.. H..
Rogers and John D. Archbold.
One of the most interesting
features of the list is that it does
not disclose a single contribution
by a life insurance company al
though the Equitable, New York
Life and Mutual each contribute
ed a large amount. This omis-
sion raises the question as to
whether Mr.. Bliss actually knew
he was obtaining life insurance
funds or though they were com
ing out Of the pockets of the
officers and directors.
The total OF the Roosevelt 1904
fund was slightly more than 49,
600. 900.

Mild, GENTLE LAXATIVE
FOR WOMEN GIVEN FREE

So many of the ills of women are
due to habitual constipation, probably
because of their false modesty on the
subject, that their attention cannot be
too strongly called to the Importance
of keeping the bowels open. 1t is
always important to do that, regard
less of the sex, but it is especially
important in women.
From the time the girl begins to
menstruate until mentsruation ceases
she has always vastly better prospects
OF coming through healthy if she
watches her bowel movements. If you
find yourself constipated, with bad
breath, pimply complexion, headaches,
belching gas and other symptoms
of indigestion and constipation, take
a small dose of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup

REGISTER OF DEEDS GETS
ENORMOUS FEES.

MUSHROOM, Mich.-As the re
suit Of the many summer resort sub
division schemes which have been
projected in Muskegon county during
the past six months, the position OF
register of deeds is now declared by
politicians to be the best paying OIL
fee in Michigan, outside of Wayne
county.
One batch of deeds, two lots in
Fruitvale, aggregating 100000 was
recently filed Each document con
tanned two folios, which at the legal
rate would bring the register $6,ouU
There are still over 100000 such sum
mer resort lots on the market, and
the owners expect to dispose of them
within the next year or two. All OF
the fees for recording deeds go to the
register. The enormous returns
which the Office now brings has JUST
leaked out, and it is anticipated that
there will be a big scramble for the
nomination for that office at the PR
maries.

He also stated that there are many
factors to be considered in bringing
about the proposed merger. not the
least of which is the attitude of the

MICHIGAN ADVANCING IN
AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
Seen Many Changes Along This Line High Sch
Now Adding Agriculture TO Their Curricula.

During the past three years
much has been accomplished,
with the aid of the Michigan De-
Nelopment Bureau, by the en-
enlargement of Agricultural
education throughout the state.
in fact, the idea Of agricultural
education has advanced several
hundred per cent. Today there
are more than a dozen high
schools in the state that give
instruction in agriculture or
horticulture or both. furthermore,
a county agricultural school has
been established at Menominee
and is doing good work. In adj
dition to the above the Federal
government is arranging TO send
thirteen agricultural experts into
the state to give instructions on
this important subject. Some Of
these experts have already and
are now going from farm to
farm instructing the farmers
upon such subjects as conditions
demand.
Although Michigan is making
rapid strides in the direction of
agricultural development it has
much to learn from the people

A SHORT SYSTEM
OF SHORTHAND

Grand Rapids, Mich.-A new and
shorter system of Shorthand has
recently been completed and
copywrited by Mr.. Geo. T..
Churchill of this city. The
writing of the new system, which
is called "Simpls," depends
wholly upon the forward move
ment of the hand as in writing
Spencerian, and, it is claimed is
so much shorter, simpler, and
more rapid than the older sys-
TENS that one can easily acquire
il in half the time usually re-
quired.
Although Mr.. Churchill is a
business educator of wide
experience covering period
of over a quarter of a century
and thus is master of all the
better systems of shorthand it
has taken him over six years
to perfect the "Simplis."
The originator is principal of
the Churchill Business Institute
in this city, and although the
school has been located here for
nearly two years it has only been
during this last year that the
new system has been perfected TO
such an extent that it could be
put into practice. Since its in
stitution, though, it has met
with much favor and promises to
be a success.
Mr.. Churchill has just recently
taken into partnership his
brother Mr.. l.. r. Churchill who
will have full charge Of the
business end of the institution.
They have moved the college
from it's old quarters in the
Powers Theatre building to their
present location at f ell Ionia
Ave-, N. w., where they not only
have sufficient space to meet
the growing demands of the
business but also are fully
equipped with all the requisites
of a good business college.
Mr.. Churchill, in his chosen line
of work, has been associated
with some of the largest and best
business training schools in the
middle west and so with this ex-

TO BUY BELL
Gigantic Merger of all Companies in

Branches BY Citizens

State Telephone Company had beea
SO keen that trey bad been unable
to keep step with their rivals, Ger
eral Manager Jeffries, of the Home
Telephone Company. of Detroit,
which the Bell corporation seeks TO
purchase for So, 5Oi 900, has informed
the State Railroad Commission that
an immediate sale would mean a
great saving of money to The pres
ent stockholders. Jeffries declared
that the Detroit c 1mpany had operat-
ed at an annual loss since il was
opened several years ago
The consensus of opinion here,
openly expressed by those in attend
ance at the hear 1s, is that the De
troit merger is the iitst Of gigantic
merger about t. take place in the en-
tire state betwe n the stronger of The
Citizens, or independent telephone
companies, and the Bell II is the
small independent lines that are on
the anxious seat
Two years ago at a meeting at
tended by the Bel and several of the
larger independent lines, it was mu-
tually agreed that cancellations
would be effected wherever possible
This seems to have been carried
out, as il is understood here that the
Citizens of Grand Rapids who are
strongly fortified in the western sec
ton of the state will shortly make
application to the Railroad Commits
sion to buy out the Bell in certain
localities in that section of the state.

recently that the reported sale OF the
Bell interests in Western Michigan
to the Citizens Company IS not yet

igan, in session here recently, author
lied the buildings and grounds com
mittee TO have constructed a system
of fire protection for the campus, in
accordance with a plan submitted by

ment, and which, in case of fire, shall
pump from the marine engineering
tank.
