BIG LOAN OF BILLION
BUCKS NOT YET MADE

New York, Sept. 22.-The Anglo
French financial commissioners here
to establish a huge credit for Great
Britain and France were in session
most of the day and until late to-
night. The matters discussed were
not disclosed. Apparently, their ma
ture was unknown to American
bankers who have been conferring
with the commission.
Early in the day it became estab-
lished that the anticipated announce
ment of the success of the commits
sion's work here would not be forth
coming today and might not be made
till next week. A dozen rumors
sought to tell why the expected an
nouncement should have been de-
ferred. One was that the commits
sion was marking time till the ca
bles should bring word as to wheth-
er Russia wanted a slice of the pro-
posed loan. Another was that the
commission was rounding off mass
of minor details.
Several American bankers ven
tured the opinion that there might
be an eleventh hour change in the
terms. One banker thought the COM
mission had been asked to make the
interest rate 51a per cent. Another
thought the commission should offer
the five year joint notes at 971b to
the underwriters and 98h or there
abouts to the investors, instead of
offering them to the investor at par.
Still another report was that the
commission had been advised that
an even half billion dollars was the
maximum amount American bank
ers would be willing to lend.
The opinion prevailed in Wall
street that the recent finding of the
British prize court in the case of
American meat cargoes had not
helped the commissions cause in the
middle west. Street gossip said GER
tain big Chicago banks were re-
ported as being less inclined than
heretofore to participate in the loan.

A bad back makes you gloomy.
Can't be happy with continual

The aches and pains of bad back
are frequently due to weak kidneys.

neys were weak and the secretions
passed too freely. I had to get up
often at night on account of this
weakness. My back got weak and
achy and l had rheumatic twinges in
the joints of my arms. Dropsical
swellings appeared beneath my eyes
and in my feet and had dizzy spells.

D. MCKELLER
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR u. 5. SENATE
DIRECT APPEAL TO PEOPLE
Wants to Build Up the Business, Ag-
ricnltural and Commercial In
terests Of Our Great State.
People Should Approve.

Hon. Kenneth D. Mcclellan, demo-
cratic candidate for the senatorlal
nomination, to be voted on at the
urinary in November, has right 10
ask and to expect every democrat 10
read his speeches before committing
himself to any other candidate and
to frankly make up his mind on the
issues between him and his oppo-
nents. His platform is the platform
that every nnessean-republican OF
democrat-should approve. Il say 10
van" he declares, that | have no po-
litical machine; that | do not want
any political machine and seeing
that the greatest curse Tennessee
has suffered from in recent years
has been political machines, this dec
laration of the one untainted demo-
cratic candidate for the senate ought
To appeal with compelling force to
hopeful people of the state as well
as to the democrats of all shades OF
belief. Bossism and the personally
conducted and secretly formed lnVis-
ible government of party action has
been the undoing of disciplined
party organization in Tennessee-in
both parties-and every good citizen
ought to embrace any honest pro-
posal for reversing this order and for
restoring the control of party affairs
TO the people.
Next in importance in Mr.. Nickel
lars platform is his patriotic an
norncement that he wants to bring
about a ifferent order of things, po-
litical, in Tennessee" an ambition
that is shared by every well-Wishef
of The state. II want to build up the
commercial interests; want to
bnild up the agricultural interests
and the educational interests OF our
great state." These are the things
the people of the state want, and a
surcease from the bedeviling and de-
moralizing effects of factionalism
and personal politics. They want
clean-cut partisanism based on issues
of economic and governmental prin-
ciples and an end to the pettifogging,
trifling and corrupting influence OF
place-mongering and dthe hypocriti-
cal cant of the moral uplift' as the
methods of acquiring Office and in
stalling machinery for self-advance-
ment and the acquisition of personal
power and the emoluments of public
office.
Another most satisfactory plank
in Mr.. McKellar's platform is that
he pledges himself to do all he can
to put an end to the miserable fac
tionalism that has afflicted the state

BULGARIA IS
DRAWING NEAR
BRINK Of WAR
RAILROADS ARE SEIZED
BY MILITARY AUTHORITIES
LEANS TO CENTRAK ALLIES
People Generally Think HOstllities
lmminent; Former Commander
ln.Chief Summoned Hastily
10 Capital.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 20.-Bulga-
ria apparently is on the brink of war.
The people generally believe that
hostilities are imminent. The mill
tary authorities have taken posses
sion of the railways and ordinary
traffic has been suspended.
Diplomatic representatives of the
entente powers generally recognize
that their cause is lost one, and
that Bulgaria is manifesting clearly
a tendency toward the central pow
ers. This is due to the dissatisfac-
tion of the government at Serbia s
reply in the negotiations for territor-
ial concessions in Macedonia and at
the conduct of Greece. None of the
allies representatives cherish longer
the hope that Bulgaria can be. pre-
vented from joining with Germany,
Austria and Turkey.
In government circles the state
ment was made today that all the
military measures taken are of a
preventative nature, designed solely
to guard against circumstances that
might threaten Bulgaria's position in
the present situation, which is deyel-
oping with extraordinary rapidity.
The measures consist in turning over
the railroads to the military authori-
ties and suspending ordinary traffic.
Populace Enthusiastic.
Reports from many parts of Bull
garia tell of enthusiastic demonstra-
tions in favor of the government.
This is considered symtomatic of
public feeling.
The formal cession by Turkey of
the territory along the Dedeaghatch
railroad has been delayed by the ac-
tion of the entente powers in notify
ing Bulgaria that acceptance would
be regarded as an unfriendly act.
1t was learned today that King
Ferdinand replying last Friday to
the assertions of leaders of the op-
position parties that the allies would
be victorious, said:
"The entente is not sure of win
ming. Nothing indicates at this mo-
ment that such will be the case. If
Bulgaria's chances of obtaining Mac
edonia depend thereon they may new
er be realized My government is
following policy which is positive

ures can be laid before the public as
in the case of the Carson Valley dairy
farms, the question naturally will be
asked whether there are not other

money are wasted on $3.50 producers

ROOT CONDEMNS
BOSSISM SYSTEM

From the floor of the constitutional
convention President Elihu Root con.
demned the system of "bossism" ant
invisible government" which he said
to his knowledge has dominated New
York for years and pleaded that the
people be. armed with the short ballot
that they may establish their own
rule. 1t is all wrong, he declared, that
any other rule should exist He said
all parties are alike, and the system
extends through all.
This domination" Root declared in
part, "has caused deep, sullen and
long continued resentment among
the people at being governed by men
not of their own choosing. They de-
mand change The short ballot
plan is solution or at least may be
the first step that is to work out a
solution. When | go back home, as !

application of business system to the
farm. Years ago farmers discovered
that It cost no more to nave good
horses of approved blood strains do
the work required ct them on the
farm ;lan it did to keep animals of
no pedigree. So the dairy man has
the fact driven home to him that it
costs no more to care for a COW that
will produce $40 month in milk than
it does to keep one that will produce
only $3.50.
The dairy men of Carson Valley do
not have to be told what to do next.
They are men who are telling the

PANAMA PACIFIC |NTERNAT|0NA EXPOSITION A SUCCESS
NEVADA IS IN
THE L|MEL|CHT

The six months that have followed
the opening of the great Exposition at
| San Francisco have demonstrated
thoroughly that the active and sub
stantial representation made by the
State of Nevada is paying interest on
the investment.
Thousands of visitors inquire daily
at Nevada pavilion regarding the re-
sources and opportunities of that State
as future home, or as field for in
vestment. Many of these have al
ready visited the State, and are seek
ing information with a definite view
of locating there.
| A high official of the Exposition
is responsible for the statement that,
there are more inquiries regarding
the opportunities and resources avail
able in Nevada than any other State
represented here" This man was in a
position to speak with authority on
this subject, and could have had no
possible object in misrepresenting
the condition under consideration.
The opportunity thus given to Ne
vada to exploit, at an Exposition
where the whole world is passing in
review, her advantages in undevel-
oped mineral wealth and agricultural
resources, that are eager for prospect
ors, that have open arms for the cap
italist, and in good homes for the set
tier, is one that is being thoroughly
appreciated, and has already proven a
success.
1t only remains for the people of the
| State to demonstrate as emphatically
when the prospective homesteader
reaches the State by placing before
them in as convincing a manner, and
give them as hearty a welcome, as the
Exposition is doing at San Francisco.
The impression made here at the
Nevada building is good. The attend
ants are courteous, and the registra-
tion is in excess of that at any other
building. This must mean that people
generally are interested in the State
itself. For while the pavilion is beau
tifully located on the very brink of
San Francisco bay, and from its ver-
andas may be seen great men-of-war
at anchor, palatial Oriental steamers
bound for far countries passing
through the Golden Gate, the Marin
Ferry boats passing with their daily
largo oI commuters, anu across TIE
Day the brown and wooded slopes OF
te 4lstant nil.s. It'll, the scenery
could not account lor the many vis-
itors to the pavilion, as other State
have similar advantages, and their
registers do mt show as large a mum

information.
AT any rate the Nevada showing is
drawing the crowds, adm many of
these visitors will doubtless later visit
the State itself, and large number
locate permanently.
