Mediation Is Delicate

The Times correspondent at Sofia, referring to mediation by the powers. says:
 Ut should be clearly understood that the point has been reached where exhcrtations and counsels not only are totally useless but even tend to pre- cipitate war, which all are anxious to avoid. Unless the powers guarantee the execution of Article XXIII of tho treaty of Berlin nothing can prevent war. Everything depends upon the ac- tion of the powers during the next week or 10 days, by which time the forces of the allied states will have been concentrated on their frontiers"
 The Times Belgrade correspondent says mobilization of the Servian army practically is complete.

It was a strenuous day for the can didate and after two hours here with Secretary Joseph F. Davies of the na- tional committee and others he left for Omaha and Lincoln. Neb. At the latter place he will meet William Bryan tomorrow.
 Large Crowds Greet Him Large crowds greeted the governor. As most of the meetings were out of doors the nominee had to strain his voice to reach the outer fringe of the mass of people who spread out on all sides of improvised platforms. No man in the United States was ever more trusted than the leader of the third party during the seven and half years that he was president" Mir. Wilson said at Kokomo. "Is 1t possible that he has just discovered the deep needs of humanity? Is 1t pos sible that he now for the first time sees that he wasted seven and half years during which he could have led the American people to any triumph or re- form to which he had chosen to lead them? When l look at these two par ties l look at the top of them and l don't see any more prospect in the one direction than in the other

 At the steel town of Gary, Ind, MT. Wilson said the United States Steel corporation was one of the chief bene- ficiaries of the tariff. And then he added:
 And you have been told ever since you can remember that the tariff meant nigh wages I don't have to prove to this audience that that is piece of buncombe."

Witness Is Reluctant

MT. Hance refused to say whether he did any business with 'rhe Standard oil company until Attorney Untermeyer threatened to cite him to the court for contempt. After denying he had any communca- ton with Blair X Go. until they had called him up and offered him the bonds as u business proposition rom one broker to another" Mir Hanee was asked if he knew anything at the time about the Magnolia Petroleum company. "Only vaguely. 1 had read of some such company" he replied.
 How did you come to buy bonds you knew nothing of?'
 "Oh. | had customer"

 Do you want me to tell you? Well. it was John D. oRckefeller,' said the wit ness. somewhat dramatically.

Standard Oil Head May Be Cited for Contempt of Court - Evidence About Rockefeller Given Re-
 luctantIy by His Broker

New York, October 4.-Ehforts of coun- sel for the Waters-Pierce oil company to trace ownership of the bonds of the m dicted Magnolia Petroleum company oi Texas were successful today, when 1t was testified that S2.io4,ooo worth of the se- curties were purchased by John p. Rockefeller This revelation and the fact that John D. Archbold failed to obey a subpoena summoning him as witness stood out as features of the hearing m the litigation over the attempt of the Standard on interests to gain control oi the Waters Pierce company
 The taking of dispositions in this city was closed as trial of the case in tue Missouri courts at St. Louis is scheduled for october s. but the failure of MT. Arch bold to respond to his subpoena and the Inability of the Waters-Pierce counsel to find other Standard oil witnesses wanted will be made the basis, 1t was learned, for an application to postpone the trial until further testimony can be taken

Await Archbold's Explanation

Mir Archbold's failure to appear was certified to the court by Commissioner Jacobs, and the question of taking pro- ceedings against the Standard oil execu- tive for contempt of court is being held in abeyance, it was stated, for possible explanation from MT. Archbold.
 The testimony that MT. Rockefeller had purchased the Magnolia company bonds was reluctantly given by John A. Hanee, ser;ior partner of the firm of Jessup & Lamont commonly known as Standard uu nrakers. Ii WAS d eoncluoing ink ot a cliatn of evidence by which Waters Pierce attorneys have been trying to prove that stockholders of the dissolved Standard oil company of New Jersey have violated the decree of the United States supreme court by perpetuatins control of refineries in Texas. The Mag nolia company is held by the Waters Pierce interests to be the successor of the Security Oil company of Texas, which was separated from the Standard Oil control by the decree.
 Testimony of MT. Hance supplemented that of Edgar l.. Marsden of the banking firm of Blair X Co. that the Standard Oil company of New York had sold $i,355,00O of the bonds to the firm in April last, which was about the time the Magnolia company was being investigated by the federal authorities or these bonds, MT. Marsden had testified that he sold $2,550.- Ooo to IessiIp X Lamont at 9S1&

Turks Should Issue Ultimatum

There is strong feeling in Constanti- nople that Turkey should issue an uiti- matum of her own. instead of waiting for Servia, Bulgaria. Montenegro and Greece to send one to her, says dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from the Turkish capital.
 The same correspondent says there are rumors in Constantinople that 400o Greeks have invaded Turkish territory, that Bull garian bands are invading Macedonia and committing dynamite outrages and that Servian bands in Novipazar are commit ting atrocities.
 "1t is believed here" continues the correspondent, that Bulgaria will mark the anniversary of her independence Sat urady by declaring war.

London, October 4--Wires from the near eastern capitals tonight were some what ominously reticent or all were si- lent A brief dispatch announcing that railroad traffic had been stopped between Constantinope and Mustahpa Pasha and Dodeaghatach and confirmation of the news that Bulgaltans had crossed the Turkish frontier was practically all the news of military nature received in London today and shows that the tele- graphic censorship is strict.
 one hopeful sign. however. is the fact the diplomatic relations still remain un- broken and apparently no ultimatum has Ibeen dtsi eered or Gecia ration of war
 made Therefore. diplomats still have time to act in the interests of peace. At present the European negotiations i looking to peace are centered in Paris. but it stIll seems to be undecided wheth- CT action in thls direction shall be taken by concert Of the European powers as whole or by Austria and Russia, as representatives of Europe. It Is believed difficulty is being found in reconciling the views of the situation held by Aus tria and Russia and although more hopeful opinion of avoiding war was held previously today. 1t is believed that un- less the powers act promptly it may be too late to prevent an explosion,

SAGE TEA DARKENs THE HAIR, Restore Faded And Gray Hair to
 Natural Color.

There is nothing new about the idea of using Sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair dark, glossy and abundant by the use of simple Sage Tea" Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull. faded or streaked appearance, they made brew of Sage leaves, and ap- piled 1t to their hair with wonderful beneficial effect.
 Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-time tiresome method of gathering the herbs and making the tea, This is done by skillful chemists better than we could do it ourselves: and all we have to do Is to call for the ready-ma product. wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the proper strength, with the addition of Sulphur another old-tinne scalp remedy.
 This preparation gives youthful color and beauty to the hair, and is one of the best remedies you can use for dan druff. dry, feverish, itching scalp, and falling hair. Get 8 fifty cent bottle from your druggist today, and you will be surprised at the quick results. All druggists sell 1t, under guarantee that the money will be refunded if the rem edy is not exactly as represented. Agents, The Lee & Osgood Co.

ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.
Nineteen Citizens Transact Business S52ooo Appropriated for scheols- ss6o for St. Joseph's Hospital.

Moderator William A. Dawson called the adjourned annual town meeting to order in the town hall Saturday afternoon at two o'clock. The warn. ing was read by Town Clerk Frank P. Fenton. There was a total attendance or nineteen at one time or another dur ing the meeting, that lasted almost an hour. The reports of the town officers were accepted. It was moved by At. torney Thomas J. Kelley that the lay- ing of the tax be deferred until such tlme after the board of assessors have made their report as Is deemed expe- dient by the board of selectmen. The action was carried. A resolution was adopted authorizing the board Of se- lectmen to borrow such sums of money as is necessary from time to time to defray the expenses of the town.
 Dr. F. E. Guild, chairman of the town school committee, asked for an appropriation of $52,000 for the use Of the schools for the ensuing year. John F, Carr said: T have confidence in the school committee and know the money will be well spent" M. Flu gene Lincoln amended the motion to make the appropriation S50,000. which would be 5000 more than wa. ap- propriated last year. He said: Tn my opinion that amount will be s,lf- hcient" He alluded to extrssa,r%~ .e in various school matters and said with large appropriation it is more apt to be the case that economies will not be so closely watched and the funds be used with lavish hand. On a rising vote the vote stood 5-5. At torney Kelley told tho electors the need for the additf nal appropriation. and spoke in favor of the $52,000. After some more discussion, the sum origi- nally sought was voted appropriated. The sum of S100 was then appropri- ated for the use of the town mission ary.
 A resolution was offered by John F. Reilly, appropriating $950 for St. Joseph's hospital M. Eugene Lincoln offered as an amendment that the sum o1 S2,O00 be appropriated and that It include the cost of caring for the towns patients. John F. Carr opposed the amendment, reading statistics rel at1ve to the maintenance and care of the patients at the hospital, saying that figuring the cost upon an ex- tremely low basis 1t amounted to ap- proximately SIP per week each. and according to his figures the hospital got over $1,400 the past year on town patients alone. MT. Lincoln said we should get value for money expended and believed in doing busi- ness-no matter of what character upon business principles. He main tained that $2, 900 was too much, An amendment to the amendment was then offered by MT. Reilly. making the appropriation $950 and a weekly charge of $5 for each town patient extra. The motion as amended was finally adopted.
 A resolution was adopted whereby in future town meetings and electors meetings in the town shall be from a. III, until ?. n., and the polls will hereafter be open during those hours. As there was no further busi- ness the meeting was adjourned.
