Anoka Union: Here is the accu- rate definition for an automobile, which Bob Burdette gives: ‘“The automobile is a large iron and rubber contrivance for transforming gasoline into speed, luxury, excitement and obituaries. It consists of a handsome leather upholstered carriage body mounted on fat rubber tired wheels and containing a gizzard full of mach- inery suffering from various ailments. It is the speediest and most stylish form of transporta- tion known. It . has run over 1000 miles an hour and costs $1000 a minute. It can transport seven people from the front porch to the police station, the bankruptcy courts or the golden gates in less time than any other known method.” PRETTY SMOOTH CROWD. Frank Day wouldn’t bet Secre- tary of State Julius Schmall that Governor Johnson would not be a candidate for the fourth term. Frank is a wise boy and he can run the state just about as well when Johnson is at the capitol as he can when the Governor is away on lecture tours.—Cannon Falls Beacon. Yes, and when the governor and Frank are both out, Harvey Grim- mer can “run things” about to the taste of the absentees; and if Har- vey is busily engaged William Wil liams, the smoothbest colored man in the whole United States, can give a “game of gab” that is about the best thing in the line of diplomacy yet discovered. Great ‘‘bunch,” down there in the governor’s office. “CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.” We would gently remind Brler Watson, of the Big Falls Compass, that it is customary, among all well- regulated newspaper men, to credit an artlcle taken from a contempor- ary. In this week’s issue of the Compass, we find an article (the one headed “When to Advertise”) taken in its entirety from the columns of the Pioneer and reproduced in the Compass, without any credit what- soever. Choose your weapons, brother. CAUSTIC COMMENT. [A. G. Rutledge.] THE REAL FISHERMAN. (To Al Jester,) He doesn’t lie about the fish that he let got away. Ah, no; the honest fisherman does not arise and say That it was just “as long as that” from eye- brow to the tall And that he’s sure that he had hooked a fitty- barrel whale. . He does not lie about the fish whose nibbles came to naught— He tells his biggest whoppers on the fish he sayshe caught. If Mr. Pinchot decides to resign, perhaps he can be induced to come here and conserve our pine-laden lake breeze. After thinking the matter over, Spain is rather more inclined to start a fight against herself than to war against the Moors. Rumor says that the Standard O1l company may go into the ice cream business. That’s where the public get another “freeze out.” While the Standard Oil company is experimenting with butter, the Chicago operators are making bread- stuffs so expensive that there may be no place to put it. It was stated the other day that Mr. Harriman is suffering with a stiffening of the backbone. We have not yet decided whether this is a characteristic or a complaint, SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR Alabama’s New Prohibition Code Now in Effect. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 26.—The whole code of prohibition laws passed by the legislature at the session just adjourned has been signed by thé governor. They prevent the use o1 distribution of liquors in clubs; make it unlawful for foreign corporations to break the temperance laws; provide for impeachment of sheriffs who re fuse to obey the laws; make it the duty of municipalities to fix and en- force prohibition laws like those in effect in the state and prevent soft drink stands from using screens o1 storing liquors of any kind. Doyen Demands Investigation. Annapolis, Md., Aug. 26.—Charles A. Doyen, the present commandant of marines and the ranking officer at the marine school of application when young James N. Sutton lost his life, has demanded an investigation of his oonduct of the command of the school at that time. WALL STREET IS STILL ALARMED Not Assured by Reports on Harriman’s Condition. STOCK MARKET IS WEAK Union Pacific and Allied Securities Particularly Depressed, Heavy De- clines Being Recorded on Big Vol- ume of Trades—Harriman’s An- nouncement That Dividends Would Not Be Increased a Factor. New York, Aug. 26.—The stock mar- ket opened weak on unfavorable in- terpretations of the reports of Mr. Harriman's health and disappointment over his interview, in which he indi- cated it to be his policy to maintain present dividends and tend the properties rather than to increase im- mediately the returns to stockholders. The Harriman railroads, New York Central, Erie and Reading were con- spicuously weak, with declines of a point or more. Before the end of the first hour fur- ther weakness was shown by the Har- riman stocks and Union Pacific showed a decline of 33, the preferred 2% and Southern Pacific 2. Reading was sold extensively at a decline of over 2 points. In the group of specialists the most marked recession was in General Electric, which sold off 2%. Despite the fact that the business of the first hour was limited largely to a half dozen issues the volume of trad- ing was in excess of 300,000 shares. In the second hour there was some recovery, but on a reduction of opera- tions. By noon further losses were record- ed throughout the list. Union Pacific was off over 5 points, the preferred over 2, Southern Pacific 3, New York Central 3., Reading 3%, St. Paul 25 and United States Steel common and Erie common 2 points each. HOPES TO REGAIN STRENGTH Harriman Begine “After Cure” at His Summer Home. New York, Aug. 26.—Sustained by sheer determination and will power E. H..Harriman, after a trying ordeal accompanying his arrival from Eu- yope, is beginning the after cure for which he returned to his home in Ar- den after a rigorous treatment at Bad Gastein. His weakness resulting from his ill health and rigid diet while abroad was accentuated on his arrival by an attack of nausea while coming up the harbor and it apparently re- quired considerable exercise of nerve force on Mr. Harriman’s part to carry him through the transfer from the liner to the tug which bore him to his new home and to face and answer the COURTYARD AT ARDEN. questions of many newspaper men who met him at the dock. While Mr. Harriman seemed physically weak he was as vigorous mentally as ever. He displayed a determination to put the best possible face upon his condition, asserted that he was feeling better and outlined plans for the further de- velopment of the railroad properties under his control. On arriving at his new home on the mountain top at Arden Mr. Harriman repeatedly expressed his delight at the progress which had been made during his absence in completing the house and grading the grounds and declared his pleasure in getting home again. “The German food may be all right and the champagne baths may be all right, but the rest cure right here will be the only cure for me,” he declared. He walked without assistance from his car to his automobile at the Arden station. Arriving at the house he as- sisted Mrs. Harriman from the car and walked a distance of two blocks to the entrance. WINNIPEG CARPENTERS OUT 8trike to Enforce Demand for In- creased Wages. Winnipeg, Aug. 26.—Fifteen hun- dred uniou carpenters went on a strike here, demanding a nine-hour day and an increase in pay of 6 cents an hour. They have been getting 35 cents an hour. The employing con- tractors refused to grant their de mands. COMPRISES EIGHT CRUISERS Uncle Sam to Send Another “Peace” Fleet Across Pacific. ‘Washington, Aug. 26. — Another “peace” fleet is to be sent across the Pacific by Uncle Sam. It will' com- prise eight of the strongest and fast- est crulsers in the naval force and will leave San Francisco a week-from next Sunday. It will be occtpied with its mission, which is declared to be friendly, more than five months. The vessels which have been or- dered to prepare for the journey are the fully ‘armored cruisers Tennessee, California, South Dakota, Washington, ‘West Virginia, Colorado, Maryland and Pennsylvania. . According to the navy department’s schedule of their 28,000-mile journey, after making several side trips to Chi- nese and Japanese ports, the whole squadron will reassemble at Yoko- hama and will sail for home Jan. 19, 1910. NEED NO HELP FROM EAST Western Banks Not Pressed for Cash to Move Crops. ‘Washington, Aug. 26.—Western banks and those of the interior gen- erally are overflowing with money. They can get along with little aid from Eastern banks. This s the view of Acting Secretary of the Treasury Norton, who has just returned from Beverly, Mass., where he had a con- ference with the president. Any talk indicating that the banks are pressed for money with which to move the crops, seems to be discount- ed by this view of the acting secre- tary. MUST RESIGN FROM POLITICAL POSITIONS Letter From President Relafing to Census Supervisors, Washington, Aug. 26.—President Taft {s leaving nothing undone to make it clear that he does not intend that census work and politics shall be mixed. Acting Secretary McHarg of the department of commerce and la- bor has recelved a letter from Mr. Carpenter, secretary to the president, stating that census supervisors who hold political positions, such as sec- retaryships or chairmanships of coun- ty committees, must give up either their political or government position. In a number of states, particularly in the South, Republican politicians have been recommended for appoint- ment as supervisors of the census. Complaint was made that as the su- pervisors have authority to appoint enumerators it would be possible for them to build up powerful political positions. Mr. Carpenter’s letter was written at the direction of the president and Mr. McHarg immediately communi- cated its contents to Director Durand. As this is not a season of political ac- tivity it is likely that the effect will be wholesale resignations by persons holding local Republican or Demo- cratic party positions. CHOLERA IN SPANISH CAMPS Another Affliction Threatens Army in Morocco. Lisbon, Aug. 26.—Cholera has add- ed its affliction to the unfortunate Spanish soldiers in Melilla, according to the Seculo. The: situation is said to be threatening, as the soldiers have been so engrossed with the work of defending themselves against the Moors that they have pald little atten- tion to the sanitary conditions of the camp, which, it 1s said, reeks with filth. Melllla dispatches say that 250 Spaniards and 600 Mocrs were killed in the latest abortive attempt of the Spaniards to advance their posts. Despite the largest number of Moors killed the effort failed utterly. Sub- sequently the Moors drew close to the city and shelled the hosnital in the city, killing a number of che patients. Chicago Has 2,500,000 People. Chicago, Aug. 26—Two and one- half millions population for Chicago was the estimate made by the.com- pilers of the new city directory.

AUTOPSY WILL BE HELD Mother of Infant Also Declares That an Attempt Was Made to Murder Her by Placing Some Drug in Her Tea—Husband of Woman Believes Child Died From Natural Causes. Boston, Aug. 26—%®o ascertain if Joseph Giles Eaton, Jr., the infant son of Rear Admiral Joseph Giles Eaton, United States navy, retired, died from poison Medical Examiner J. W. Spoon- er of Hingham has forwarded the stomach of the child to the Harvard medical school, where the contents will be analyzed by experts. The child dled Friday night at Isis cottage, Scituate, the summer home of the Eatons. Statements of a startling nature aro made in connection with the child’s death by Mrs. Eaton and by Jume Ainsworth, her daughter by a former marriage. Both mother and daughter told neighbors that attempts had been made to poison them. Medical Examiner Spooner was called into the case by Mrs. Eaton, who insisted that an autopsy be per- formed on the infant's body. When Mrs. Eaton told him she was positive the baby died of poison an autopsy was ordered. It was performed on Saturday by Dr. Spooner. Immediately after her return to Isis cottage after the funeral Mrs. Eaton talked with some neighbors and made her sensational statements. She be- lieved the baby had been poisoned and attributed the act to some de- mented person.: At the same time she "said an attempt had been made to poison her some months ago by plac- ing some drug in her tea. Mrs. Alnsworth was married to Rear Admiral Eaton three or four years ago. She was about thirty-seven years old and her husband sixty-two. The baby, Joseph Giles Eaton, Jr., was born six months ago. Rear Admiral Baton says: “I believe my son died a natural death of cholera morbus. I believe also that I felt his death far more keenly than did the other members of the family. UNTIL HEARINGS ARE HELD Kidnapped Child in Custody of Court Official. Kansas City, Aug. 26—Marian Bleakley, the five-year-old incubator baby of St. Louis world’s fair fame, who was kidnapped at Topeka last Saturday from its mother, Mrs. J. J. Bleakley, was placed temporarily in the custody of the clerk of the juvenile court at Kansas City. An order to this effect was given here by Judge Porterfield in the cir- cuit court after he had postponed un- til next Monday hearings in the ha- beas corpus proceedings in the case. During the proceedings Marian nes- tled in the lap of Mrs. Bleakley, who sat just in front of the judge’s bench. During Mr. Walsh’s argument for the immediate possession of the child Mrs. Bleakley gave way to tears as she caressed the little one. Mrs. Bar- clay sat unmoved beside one of her attorneys in the rear of the room. Deafness Cannot Be Cured Dby local applications, as they caunot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure dcatness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deatness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to 1ts normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces, We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused Dby catarrah) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
