the man who voted against the

elusive evidence that the vote at

questions with almost every other
set of people except the brewers
and the distillers and their allies.
But they fight on. They work
through their lobby In the General

who t1ave been elected to the Leg

that they will stand for prohibi-

have no sympathy with such leg
islation. they manage TO pass
bill with such loopholes that II

 q have already given my estimony," she said to Tanlac representative few days ago, but l am so grateful for what your wonderful medicine has done for me I want to say a bit more.
 q suffered about 10 years from rheu- matism, kidney and stomach trouble, and this Tanlac did for me what nothing else on earth ever did--removed every pain and ache about my body and made me feel strong and sturdy and I be- lieve I am well.
 q bought my first bottle of Tanlac about June 20 and obtained relief from the very start. l have taken a total of four bottles and want to tell you the change has been something mar vicious. I haven't taken a dose in two months, for l quit when I believed 1 was well.

 Praised by Henderson

Montgomery, November 15.-(SpeciaL) ) Governor Henderson today issued the fol- lowing official statement on the death of Booker T. Washington, the noted ne- gro educator who founded Tuskegee in- stitute, who died early Sunday morning at his home at the institute:
 ..In the death of Booker T. Washing ton the colored race has lost its greatest leader. He was a man of unusual force and executive ability and in many re- spects rose above the environment of race In my opinion, his efforts toward the development of his people have been of great benefit to them and to the entire south Born slave, living a life of earnest endeavor and at his death the chief executive of an institution of na- ton- wide reputation created by his own brain and energy, demonstrates to the world the unbounded possibilities open to those whose purpose is to accomplish something and marks him as one of the able men of his time.

S1OO,OOO DIVIDEND
 BY STANDARD HOME
Checks for Approximately S100,000 Are Mailed to
 Creditors by Dryer

The first dividend to the creditors of the Standard Home company was mailed out yesterday by Judge E. H. Dryer, referee in bankruptcy. The amount approxi- mated s1000O0, and was a dividend of 715 per cent to about 10000 claimants. The dividend was practically decided upon several months ago, but owing to the many details to be worked out and the large number of checks to be issued the delay was made.
 Judge Dryer states that he is of the opinion that a similar dividend can be paid to the creditors each year and that the assets of the company will net the c. editors a good percentage of their claims in time.

 'The Deep Purple is a play of the New York underworld with plot some what familiar, but which has never failed to elicit enthusiastic applause.

. Jess Dandy, who will be seen in his old role of Hans Wagner in "The Prince of Pilsen' at the Jefferson theatre on Thursday matinee and night, is accomplished in more ways than one. He is not alone very fun ny comedian, but is master of sleight or hand. In his younger days he was assistant to one of the most noted magicians of the time, but learned the tricks so rapidly that he lost his po- sition. He then took up the study of medicine. He gave up this calling to become travelling man and told so many good stories on the road that he decided to go upon the stage and get paid for his stories When engaged for '"rhe Prince of Pilsen" more than 10 years ago he was doing a mono logue on the vaudeville stage.
