TAFT SAYS He
WILL SURELY WIN
Is Not At All Discouraged at
Outlook and Says Pros.
poets Better Every Day
GIVES HIS REASONS

New York, Sept. 25.-President Taft,
in prepared interview issued last
night, declared that his recent claims
of strength were entitled to respect. He
repeated that he believed he would
be elected and gave his reasons for de-
nying that he had been oversanguine. =
He aualyzed the political situation as
he saw it, maintained that the regular
republicans would carry the solid east,
and hold enough of the central west
ern states to win.
The president made these statements
at the home of his brother, Henry W.
Taft, where he went on his arrival
from Washington late yesterday and re-
ceived number of his friends and
political associates. The president
interview follows:
when l declared few weeks ago
that L felt reasonably sure of my own
reelection in November, and. of the sue
cess of the republican party, l was re-
garded by some as entirely oversan-
guine and unaware of the situation.
Today, however, after number of in
dications that the republican party is
still the dominant party and that the
expected growth of democratic strength
has failed to materiaiize, my original
declaration is shown to be entitled to
respect.

will suffer also The combined strength
of the third term party will not be
enough to change the ultimate results.
Where They Guessed Wrong
''Five or six weeks ago it was as
serted generally that the republican
party would secure the vote of the solid
east, including the New England states,
with the exception OF Maine and Yer,
mont, that the democratic party would
maintain its hold on the solid south
and that the thirdterm party would
secure the solid west, leaving only the
middle west as debatab!e ground. To-
day, with the election still one month
away, the republican party finds ITSELF
with strengthened hold on the solid
east, having routed the third term par
ty in Vermont and the democratic
party in Maine.
"The third term leaders recently con-
ceded that We would pick the state OF
Utah ont of the solid west, and after
comforting with Chairman Hilles and
others recently in the west, there is

MAX WAESSEL IS
HON0RED BY KAISER

Kromen Orden-the jOrler of the
Crown-has been conferred by direction
of Emperor William of Germany upon
Max Waessel of Denver, manager of
the foreign exchange department of
the First National bank, as token of
appreciation for services to the Ger
man empire through attending to the
affairs of the German consulate in
Denver during the absence of the con-
sui.
The distinction of being decorated by
the kaiser carries with it additional
honor in the fact that Waessel for thir-
teen years has been an American citi-
zen. Max Martin, acting German con-
sui in Denver, presented the decora-
tion-a gold maltese cross, surmounted
by the imperial German eagle, on q rib
bon of royal purple.
Waessel, who has been a resident of
Denver for eight years, lives at 1881
York street.
Mr.. Waessel is well known to many
of the residents of Glenwood as he
came here at the time of the opening
of the Citizens National bank and re-
manned couple years as assistant
cashier of that institution when he
went to Denver and accepted the posi-
tion which he still holds with the Fir-t
National.

WAS ROBBED BY
NEWMAOE FRIEND
Beasting Of a Big Real Estate
Sale Costs Fred 0Ieson
Shirt and Thirty Bucks
R0BBER HELD IN JAIL

Fred Oleson, who had been hanging
around the Glenwood saloons telling
those with whom he came in contact
that he had just sold valuable ranch,
will not be quite so boastful of his
wealth after his experience in Glen
wood Thursday Oleson made the ac
quaintance of young man who, after
a few drinks, invited him to take t,
walk.
When in an alley back of one of the
saloons the newmade friend attacked
Oleson, tearing his shirt off and ruin
ing his vest in his efforts to get a
purse which he had seen Oleson place
in his inside vest pocket. He secured
the wallet which proved to be a check
book on Brighton bank, but in this
book Oleson says he carried three ten
dollar bills.
The fellow ran down to the RIO
Grande depot, but Oleson gave the
alarm and number of people started
after the thief who kept close to the
river bank and ran westerly below the
railroad tracks. When pushed too
hard by the crowd he would stop and
put his hand behind him as Though
drawing a gun and as his pursuers
would fall back he would give them an
exhibition of real sprinting.
Finally, just as he was starting
across the railroad bridge, he was over
taken by Ned Robinson who held the
fellow until the arrival of the sheriff.
As soon as the fellow saw Sheriff Jes-
sup with his gun he ran to him and was
docile as a young lamb. -
Just before he was eadt t the fellow
had attempted to throw tn stolen wal
let into the river, but it Was picked
up on the bank some distance from the
water. 1t contained only anumber of
blank checks, the $50 being missing.
A thorough search of the fellow at the
Jail failed to locate the bills

MiIady's Toilet Table
BY Mime. D'MILLE

Enlarged pores, dark and ~discolored
patches and similar blemishes of the
complexion disappear in a week or ten
days if a solution made by ~dissolving
an original package of mayatone in a
half pint Of which hazel is rubbed on
the face, neck and arms each morn
ing. This is a true complexion beau
tiier and should be used regularly
instead Of powder or other cosmetic.
1t preserves youthful charms and
keeps the skin soft. smooth and
white.
Dry shampooing keeps the hair soft,
wavy and richly ~lustrous. Too much
water streaks and fades the hair and
makes 1t dry and brittle. To make a
shampoo powder. put a cupful Of corn
meal in a fruit Jar and mix with it a
small original package Of therox.
Sprinkle a little on the head and brush
1t out thoroughly. The powder comes
out easily and takes all dirt, dandruff
and excess oil with 1t.
To remove s~uperfluous hairs from
face or forearms simply apply delatone
paste. Mix enough powdered delatone
with water to cover the hairs; apply
and after two or three minutes wipe
off, wash the skin and the hairs will
be gone. This treatment is safe,
speedy and sure.
Colds, catarrh and ordinary cases of
sore throat, bronchitis. tonsiIitis. Group,
stiff neck and asthma yield quickly to
applications of Mothers Salve, rubbed
in well before retiring. The world
never saw its equal as a household
remedy. 1t gives almost instant re-
lief from aches. pains and sores.

CLUB NOTES

One of the most pleasing events,
which have been planned by the Ia
dies of the Fortnightiy club for some
time, was that of last evening when
DR.. Max Bait gave his excellent lee
ture on Switzerland with the slides
illustrating the scenes described. Mrs.
f. H. Wilder, president of the Fort
nightly club, assisted by some OF the
ladies from the neighborhood clubs
received the guests, and Mrs. Wilder
presided over the programme in her
usual capable and gracious manner.
Mrs. j. A. Jardine sang two solos very
beautifully and was enthusiastically
~applauded, and the intervals were filled
with selections on the Victrola. DR.
Bait was introduced by the president
and showed his appreciation Of the
Fortnightly club and what they are
doing for Fargo by expressing his
opinion that in the history of Fargo
this interpreting organization was de-
serving Of a special page. The lecture
consisted of very graphic and beautiful
word pictures of the wonders of
Switzerland. the home of the most
beautiful scenery in the world, which
helped to make the handsome slides
of both plain and colored finish, real
lstic. DR.. Bait is a graceful speaker
and his interpretations Of the beau
ties which nature has lavished among
the mountains of the Swiss are sources
OF much valuable information. He
alluded frequently to that legend Of
William Tell, which has been given
much to the literature, art and music
of the world, and presented many of
the settings of the story. There were
q number present who have travelled
through Europe and t. these as well
as others, the lecture was intensely
interesting. Following the programme
a social time was spent, and frappe
and waters We're served. Miss Mana
Gushing and Miss Vera Bush assisted
the committee consisting Of Mrs. +.
O. Kneer, Mrs. r. III. Bush, Mrs. w. r.
Sudro and Mrs. T.. G.. Guthrie, in serv-
ing. There We're a large number of
ladies and gentlemen present from the
various neighborhoods who greatly ap-
preciated the lecture as well as the
opportunity Of meeting each other.
