10 JUMP FROM BRIDGE _—i| IF PARKER IS spas Amzire Pates, Colored, Wagers His Life Against $5 That Democrats are Beaten. Globe Democt The election bet of Amzire Pates, a negro porter in a drag store at Eighteenth ard Olive streets, will probably stand for some time as the most novel yet recorded in the 1904 campaign. Pates, who is an enthu- siastic Republican and well posted in party effairs, bas signed a writ-} ten agreement tojumpfrom the Eads | bridge in the event President Roose. velt is not re elected. This wager was made with a soda water dispenrer in the pharmacy where he is employed, and was laid against a $5 bill punt up by the lar. ter, The agreemeut lates signed reads: “To allwho shall seo these pres-: ente: Greeting—Know ye, that I, Auzire Pates, being in good health and in my right mind, do hereby sol- emnly promise, with God as my wit- nese, to end my earthly existence by leaping from the middlespan of Eads bridge into the Mississippi river be- low, one (1) week, seven (7) days, after the presidential election in No- vember, A. D. 1904, it Theodore Roosevelt, Republican nominee, is not elected to fill the office of Presi- dent of the United States of America for the ensuing four years, Witness my signature, Amzire Pates.”’ Field the Heaviest Taxpayer in the Country Chicago, Ill., Aug. 27.—Marshall Field is the heaviest taxpayer in the United States. Forty million dol lars even is the assessed value of Mr. Field’s taxable property, real and personal, in Chicago. It is the eati- mate of the board of review. Mr. Field’s real estate assessment is $30,000,000. His personal assess- ment is $10,000,000. Next year he will pay taxes on an additional mil- lion dollars’ worth of real estate, All of this property is in Chicago, and all Mr. Field’s taxes go to the support of Illinois, Cook county and the city of Chicago. These facte were brought out before the board of review to-day when a Tepresentative of the wealthy Chicago merchant applied for and obtained a reduction of assessment upon Mr. Field’s individual personal property from $2,500,000 to $2,000,000.

Soon the photographer sum- moned her back and exhibited a highly satisfactory negative. When they reached home the mother asked: “Nellie, what did that nice gentle- man say to you when I left youalone with him?” “Well, he thaid,” lisped Nellie, “If you don’t thit still, you ugly, equint eyed monkey, I’ll shake the life out of your trembling carcath.’ Then I that very still, mamma.”’—New World RI CASTO A. oa Kind You Have ze Bought Bears the Signature of MILLIONAIRE’S POOR STOMACH The worn-out stomach of the over- fed millionaire is often paraded in public prints as a horrible example of evils attendant on the josension of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. Theproportion is far greater among the toilers. Dys- pepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far worse tortures than the million- aire unless they avail themselves ofa standard medicine like Green’s Au- t Flower, which has been a favor- ite houeehold remedy for all stomach: troubles for over thirty five years.
