IS HOPEFUL OF SUCCESS Bays He Has Heard From Prominent Party Men in All Sections of the Country Who Announce Their Readiness to Do All They Can for the Ticket—Parker and Johnson Members of Advisory Committee. New York, Aug. 3.—Plans for the direction of the approaching national campaign were unfolded by Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee, on his arrival here to organize the Eastern head: quarters of the committee in this city. Mr. Mack will spend practically his entire time in the West during the campaign and the fight in the Basi will be conducted by a sub-committec of the national committee. Mr. Mack sald there was entire harmony be tween himself and Chairiman Counors of the Democratic state committee and that the national committee would not interfere with the n tion of the New York state lickel o1 with the state campaign. During the nest three days Mr Mack will hold conferences at the Hoffman House with national commit teemen from the E: rn siates as to the makeup of the sub-committee ‘Which probably will be composed of about fifteen members. While Mr. Mack will be chairman ef the commit- tee a vice chairman will be appointed who will have charge of the Eastern wing of the committee. Mr. Mack held conferences with Urey Woodson, secretary of the na- tional committee, and Roger C. Sul livan, national committeeman from Ilinois. Speaking of Democratic pros- pects Mr. Mack said: .“I have heard from committeemen and prominent Democrats all over the country and while it is too early to make forecasts I can say at this time that the future appears bright for suc- cess. I have received numbers of let- ters from well known Democrats in many parts of the United States, who ‘were not active or fnterested in recent campaigns, who announce their readi- ness to do all they can for the ticket. I do not know of a Democrat who is not ready to do all he can. Judge Parker accepted immediately a ten- der of a position on the advisory com- mittee and will do whatever the com- mittee asks him. Governor Johnson also accepted a position on the same committee without delay.” SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION. Farman Demonstrates Ability of His Aeroplane. New York, Aug. 3.—Rising from the ground like a giant bird and darting through the air at express train speed Henri Farman’s aeroplane, the flying machine he brought from France to demonstrate his ability to fly, made its initial flight in this country at Brighton Beach. It rose from an especially prepared runway at the will of the inventor and, after attaining a height of twen- tyfive feet, flew straight ahead on a direct line, finally alighting with ex- quisite grace when the noted air pilot diminished the motive power. Far- man was surrounded and literally hugged by the jubilant aeronauts ‘when he alighted. Farman then decided to make an- other test. He instructed his French mechanics to hold fast to the aero- plane while he turned on the power. Instantly the propeller began to re- volve at the rate of 1,400 revolutions .to the minute and a breeze equal to a small cyclone was created. The pho- tographers were knocked flat and plastered to the ground until the power was turned off. So great was the violence of the breeze that sev- eral willow trees were bent double.

The negroes had been in jail for several days and while there had been considerable unrest since the attempt on the part of the mob to take Brow- der, the slayer of Cunningham, from the jail some nights ago no real trou- ble was anticipated and there was no guard around the prison. The effort to get Browder failed, owing to the fact that he was spirited out of jail by the sheriff and sent to Bowling Green and later to Louisville, where he is now confined awaiting trial. Jailer Forced to Give Up Keys. The mob came into town so quietly that not one of the residents of the city was awakened from slumber. Proceeding at once to the county jail the jailer, Jake Butts, was summoned to the door, his residence being di- fectly comnnected with the prison. When he made 1is appearance he found himself covered by rifles and shotguns and was given the command to turn over the keys of the jail or be shot down.

Compared with the figures for 1858, when the total receipts were $286,902.36, and the balance at the end M of 1he “veal Wa's §4,065.18, these g ures foreibly demonstrate the growth of the state during the fifty years.

" In that time the total amount rafsed by taxation has grown from $554,600 to $28,000,000; the as- sessed valuation of all taxable. prop: erty from $41,000,000 to $1,050,000,000 and the amnual- cost of maintenance and operation of the state institutions has grown from $7,500 to over $2,000,- 000, with a total expenditure for the support of these institutions for the semi-centenmial period of $33,000,000.

It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must “keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches {rom kidney ills. Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and health is easily maintained. Read of a remedy for kidneys only that helps fand cures the kidneys and is endorsed by people you know. Mrs. J. C.

LABOR LEADERS ARRESTED French Government Proposes to Crush Organization. Paris, Aug. 3.—The determination of the government to crush what it terms the insurrectionary movement which broke out at Vigneux last Thursday and which continues active- 1y in the form of preparations for new demonstrations was evidenced when the police visited the offices of the General Federation of Labor and took into custody the other leaders of the revolutionary labor party on the charge of inciting to disorder and re- bellion. Bosquet, Yvetot and Merr- heim were arrested previously. The last men apprehended include Pouget, secretary of the official organ of the Federation of Labor; Griffuelhes, gen- eral secretary of the federation, and Maucolin, secretary of the Laborers’ union. The raid was witnessed by a great crowd, but there was no disor- der.
