SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER' ANNUM INVADES GAMP OF THE ENEMY Bryan Makes a Number of Speeches in Ohio. LABOR ISSUE T0 THE FORE Democratic Candidate Declares That Question Is Assuming More and More Prominence in the Campaign and Asserts That His Party Is the Friend of the Worker, as 8hown by Its Piatform. Dennison, 0. Sept. 1!—Speeding on to Wheeling, W. Va., where he is scheduled to make a formal address. ‘William J. Bryan, the Democratic can- didate for president, conducted his campaign into the very camp of the enemy and delivered numerous speeches in the native state of Mr Taft, his chief opponent. He pointed out to his several audiences that the indications were all favorable to Dem- ocratic success and that the party could safely be entrusted with the reins of government. Addressing a large and enthusiastic gathering of ‘workingmen employed in the shops at this place Mr. Bryan declared that the platforms of the two parties with respect to the labor question were assuming more and more prominence in the campaign and especially since Speaker Cannon has undertaken to de- fend the position of the Republican party. He then discussed the planks of the Democratic platform and indi- cated those which, in his opinion, will be most beneficial to the workers. “The Democratic party takes the side of the laboring man,” he de- clared, amidst shouts of approval, “and the Republican party the oppo- site side.” Taking up the tariff Mr. Bryan as- serted that the Republicans were be- ginning to find that they are not pre- pared to meet the arguments present- ed by the Democrats because they are beginning to threaten. They are be- ginning to present scares and Mr. Taft admits the weakness of his case when instead of trying to show that the Republican position on the tariff question is right and the Republican position on the trust question is right he warns the country that if it does not elect him to office there will be a panic.” Mr. Taft, he said, had start- ed a panic at the wrong time. “There was a time,” remarked Mr. Bryan, “when the Republicans could use the panic argument and deceive the peo- ple, but that time has passed.” DETAILS YET INCOMPLETE Taft to Make Tour of the East, West " and South. Cincinnati, Sept. 12.—Three trips are contemplated in the Taft itin- erary, West, East and South. Judge Taft said there was no longer any question about the Western trip. “I will take that trip without question,” he remarked, “although its details are not arranged. As to the East and South the question is not so definitely settled.” A. I Vorys, the candidate’s chief of staff, has left here for New York per- sonally to represent Judge Taft be- tore the committee during its wofk on the traveling itinerary of the candi- date. Mr. Vorys, it was said, will bring back with him the plan of the committee. The plan to have Mr. Vorys go to New York was decided upon after a conversation over the telephone between Judge Taft and National Chairman Hitcheock. In discussing fhe probabilities ot his Western trip Mr. Taft said it was not likeély he should go to the Pacific coast. That he will speak in St. Louis and Kansas City seemed assured, but the plans, he repeated, were not ma- tured and any prediction now made ‘was purely conjecture. After the re- turn of Mr. Vorys the plans he brings with him will be subject to the ap- proval of Judge Taft before their final adoption. He said Mr. Vorys takes with him no specific instructions or suggestions, but, added the candidate, “Vorys has been with me and knows closely what I think regarding per- haps any question likely to arise with reference to the plans to be made and it will undoubtedly be a great assist- ance to the committee to have him present.” CUMMINS ADMITS DEFEAT Extra Session of lowa Legislature Adjourns. Des Moines, Sept. 1.—Beaten by the revolters who deadlocked the leg- islature Governor Cummins asked his friends to cease pressing him as a candidate for the short term for Unit- ed States senator and accept the terms which the standpatters offered. The progressives were forced te sub- mit. The extra session of the legisla- ture therefore adjourned to recon- vene Nov. 24, after the general elec- tion. It will then elect the person to the senate receiving the largest vote at the primary in November. “I now. am willing to yield to the minority to secure party peace and harmony,” said Governor Cummins. G. N. Haugen, Walter 1. Smith and former Governor Jackson of Des Moines are ‘being considered as op- ponents of Cummins in the November primaries. o dedodedeidood oo DEFEATED JENKINS IN ELEY- % ENTH WISCONSIN DISTRICT dpdedderdeododiabodeodndrododrdnivboddriobei IRVINE L.

CAUSES SOME ALARM IN EASTERN PRUSSIA Cholera Spreading Rapidly in St Petershurg, Berlin, Sept. 1:.—The announce- ment that there have been nineteen deaths from Asiatic cholera in St. Petersburg has caused a disagreeable shock throughout Eastern Prussiaand in Berlin, which city is within four hours’ train journey of the Russian border. The news has brought out a quieting declaration to the public from the Prussian ministry of health, in which it is said that every arrange- ment has been made for dealing with the cholera should it cross the. Ger- man frontier. Although the disease is widely spread in Russia the type does mot appear to be virulent and there have been comparatively few deaths. The government has proclaimed a quaran- tine on all Russian vessels arriving at German ports from St. Petersburg, Kronstadt and the Black sea. RAPID SPREAD OF CHOLERA Large Number of Cases Exist at St. Petersburg. - St. Petersburg, Sept. 1,.—The Asi- atic cholera is spreading in St. Pe- tersburg and the sudden jump in the stalistics is taken to mean that the city authorities failed to take proper precautions against an epidemic when the first suspicious cases were discov- ered a fortnight ago. The last bul- letin issued reports fifty-two cases and eighteen deaths, but it is believed that treble that number exist within the city limits. The health commission admits that there are 102 other cases of sickness that are being watched. One hundred doctors have been drafted into the cholera squad at a salary of $2,50 per day. The city has chartered a special tank steamer to. distribute boiled wa- ter to the barges where a large per- centage of the cases have been found. A case of cholera is reported from Peterhof. THAW FAILS TO APPEAR. Not Present at Meeting of Creditors at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Sept. 1 .—The secend hearing in the bankruptcy case of Harry K. Thaw was held before Ref- eree in Bankruptcy W. R. Blair. Two attorneys, W. O. Boyd of Poughkeep- sie, N. Y., and A. P. Meyer of Stone & Stone, were present. Attorney Boyd asked what had been done with a view of bringing the bankrupt to attend the meeting of his creditors. Referee Blair informed him that Attorney Meyer had personally served notice on Thaw at the jail in Poughkeepsie. . Attorney Boyd, who represents H. N. Blaine, proprieter of a restaurant at Poughkeepsie, then called Referee Blair’s attention to sec- tion No. 41 of the bankruptey act and alleged that the absence of Thaw from the meeting practically amounted to contempt. He asked the referee to issue a certificate of the proceedings 80 that it might be brought to the at- tention of a judge in the United States district court-who might take proper action on learning that the bankrupt had failed to put in an appearance. Referee Blair stated that he did not think it was right for a petitioner in bankruptcy to be cited for contempt of court five minutes after the calling of a meeting of the creditors, at which he had been asked to-be present. He said that he would refuse the certifi- cate and requested Attorney Boyd to be sure of each step he took in the proceedings. DEVASTATED BY HURRICANE Town in British West Indies Mass of Wreckage. Grand Turk, Turks Island, B. W ' Sept. 1.,—The town of Grand Tufk has been devastated by a hurricane. The wind has done much damage-to property and the streets are one mass of wreckage. Trees have been up- rooted and portions of bulldings blown away. The Haytian sloop Telegraph, which had taken shelter at Hawks Nest, foundered with all hands. Intends to Abandon Struggle. Onsa Blanca, Sept. 1]—Abdel Aziz, the former sultan of Morocco, has written a letter: to Mtougi, one of his leaders, thanking him for his support, | but saying that he had detided to ebandon the struggle. Mtougi replied that he would never’ submit to Mulai Hafid and it is believed that he in- tends to enter the fleld against the new ruler of the empire. BUESTS AT THE SAME BANQUET Taft and Bryan to Meet in Chicago on Oct. 1. AFFAIR IS NONPARTISAN Besides the Presidential Candidates the Governors of Eighteen States and a Number of Congressmen and Senators Are Expected to Atfend. Chicago Association of Commerce in Charge of the Event. Chicago, Sept. 1, .—William. H. Taft and William J. Bryan, rivy candidates for the presidency of the TUnited States, will meet at Chicago Oct. 7 at a banquet given by the Chicago Asso- clation of Commerce, according to an announcement made here by W. D. Moody, business agent of the assocta- tion. The speeches will be non-polit- ical. In addition to Mr. Bryan and Mr., Taft it is expected that some eighteen governors of states and a number of congressmen and senators will be at the banquet board. Mr. Taft’s acceptance was obtained at Cincinnati recently when a commit- tee of prominent members of the As- sociation of Commerce, accompanied by a committee of the Deep Water- ways commission, which will begin a three days’ session here on Oct. 7, called on the Republican candidate. Mr. Bryan agreed to be present dur- ing a long telephone conversation which he held Thursday night with Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee. Mr. Bryan was called from his bed at 1 a. m. at Terre Haute and the malter of the invitation discussed. The Dem- ocratic leader approved an acceptance and Mr. Moody was notified of the fact. . ‘The coming together of the two men at present looming largest in the pub- lic eye was made possible by the deep waterways convention, at which from three to five thousand delegates are expected to be present. As this move- ment, as well as the Chicago Asso- ciation of Commerce, is nonpartisan it was felt that the occasion was an ex- cellent one for the meeting of the two candidates. In extending both invita- tions the non-political motive of the banquet was emphasized and it is be; lieved that both Mr. Taft and Mr. Bryan will confine their remarks to waterways and possibly business mat- ters. It is hoped to secure the at- tendance of J. P. Morgan and a com- mittee of the local organization- has left here for New York to call upon the financier. KAISER ON FRENCH SOIL. First German Ruler to Cross the Line 8ince 1871. Parls; Sept. 1 .—The government has received official information that Emperor William, the army maneu- vers in Alsace-Lorraine being at an end, crossed the French frontier in an automobile as a “simple tourist” for the purpose ‘of enjoying the magnifi- cent view from the top of the Schlucht mountains. Although considerably astonished that Emperor Willlam should choose the present moment for the first visit to French territory made by a Ger- man emperdr since the king of Prus- sla was proclaimed emperor at Ver- sailles in 1871 the government at once dispatched ‘nstructions to the customs officials to allow the imperial automo- bile to pass the frontier without ex- amination and for the proper guarding of the route by gendarmes to prevent any unfortunate incident. According to the official advices the emperor traversed only about one hun- dred yards of French soil in order to reach a point whence he could view the splendid panorama. The view in- cludes the plain of Upper Alsace, the lakes of Longemer and Gerardmer and the valleys of the Cologne and Mos.- lotte rivers, .which flow through pine forests into the Moselle. - STeeg— m‘cmmnn-m-cm : - OF THE NATIONAL €.

SEEKS T0 RECQVER HEALTH Mrs. Evelyn Thaw Livir Living Incognito at ° Mount Clemens, Mich. Detroit, Mich.,, Sept. 1. Fvelyn Nesbit Thaw, with her maid, is a guest incognito at the Mead hotel and bathhouse, Mount Clemens, Mich. The bath city is agog over the arrival of the much talked of woman. . She had been stopping at the Grand hotel, Mackinac, for the last two weeks and Tuesday, when her identity was discovered, she took the Detroit boat and landed here Wednesday aft- ernoon. Mrs. Thaw did not linger in Detroit, but went right through to Mount Clemens, arriving there late in the evening. The guests at the hotel are all anx- ious to see Mrs. Thaw, but she shuns everybody but the proprietor of the hotel and he positively refused to discuss how long Mrs. Thaw will re- main in the bath city. When Mrs. | Thaw left Mackinac island she an- nounced that she intended to return to "New York city and enter a sanitarium. 1t is said that the wife of Harry Thaw is in need of rest and she will remain in Mount Clem:ns until she recovers her health. WELCOMED BY BIG CROWD American Fleet Reaches "Albany, West Australia. Albany, West Australia, Sept. 12— After a 1,2300-mile voyage from Mel- bourne the American battleships dropped anchor off King point, at the eutrance to Princess Royal harbor, in King Georges sound. Great crowds witnessed the coming of the fleet, the sighting of which from Breaksea isl- and was reported several hours be- fore. Fine weather was experienced dur- ing the trip from Melbourne. The ships encountered smooth seas and fair winds and the time of the men was largely taken up in routine drills and exercises. ¢ On the run up from Melbourne the warships engaged in battle maneuvers day and night and they are making active preparations for the target shooting and. maneuvers that are to be conducted in Manila bay during the month of November. These opera- tions are to be the most important ever carried out by the American navy. Temporary Truce Arranged. Chicago, Sept. 1\.—Information has come to the Democratic national com- mittee that a temporary truce has been concluded between the leaders || of Tammany Hall and State Senator Patrick H. McCarren of Brooklyn and until the election both sides will lay aside their differences and join in an active campaign for the national and state tickets in New York state. Trade Improvement Slow. New York, Sept. 1/ ,—Dispatches to Dun’s Trade Review indicate some ir- regularity in trade development, but on the whole there is improvement, especially in jobbing distribution of fall and winter merchandise. Why.Eat Ordma Toasted Corn Flalae: ‘Anyone who eats E-C Corn Flakes—and millions of men, women and children do—will tell you there is hardly a comparison. CORN FLAKES [7vasted] are the improved toasted . corn flakes, sweet with all the delicious natural flavor of the choicest selected corn, every dainty flake toasted to a delicate, toothsome crispness.

However, the officer thought it best to ‘watch the place for awhile to see If :| anything out of the way might occur. A short time later, emerging from the front door, the stranger stopped as if some one had spoken to Mm from ‘within, and, saying “Yes, Bess, I have my key this time,” he lifted his hat and walked slowly away. Some hours later, when the real owner of the house | returned, the policeman learned that his first suspicions had been correct, for the well dressed stranger had walked off with the jewelry and everything of value that he could lay his kid gloved hands upon.—Chicago Tribune. Milking the Cow. “Milkmen have different ways of managing their cows, but generally they feed each cow and begin milking a8 soon as the cow begins to eat,” says a dairyman. “The milker hurries to get through, too, because if the cow finishes her breakfast before the milk- er has done his work she extorts more feed by holding back her milk, so must be fed again to keep her in good hu- mor. Some milkmen do their .milking first and then feed immediately, and cows that are accustomed to this treat- ment generally give down their milk cheerfully, for they know that milking is a prelude to the feeding. It all de- pends on habit and the way the cows are treated, for a cow is much smarter than she looks and more grateful than most persons would believe.- So long a8 the cows kiow they are mot going to be struck or beaten they will neither kick nor hook. An experienced milk- man will never allow any loud talking or excitement about his barns, for the quieter the cows are kept the greater the quantity of milk and the easler the work."—St. Louls Globe-Democrat. Danton and the Organ Grinders. Parls has more than once made war on organ grinders. There, as here, they have their enemies and also their champions. The war, however, is an old one, and politicians had time toat- tend to it even at the height of the revolution. No less a man than Danton then took the part of the musicians. “Citizens,” he cried from the tribunal, “I hear that an attempt is being made to prevent the organ grinders of Bar- bary from playing their tunes as usual. Do you think, then, that the streets of Paris are too gay? Have the people of Paris too many songs on their lips? One after another our liberties are be- ing wrested from us. Leave us at least the liberty of listening to the or- gans of Barbary, of hearing from them our favorite songs and refrains.” Danton was gulllotined for reasons with which this speech had nothing to do, but the oration containing these sentiments was the last that he had the opportunity of delivering as a member of the convention.—Westmin- ster Gazette.
