Henry Labouchere in London Trath I was a good many years in Parlia- ment. During that time I heard many members speak perceptibly un- der the influence of liquor, but very few who could be said to be drunk. One of these, curiously enough, was Mr. Disraeli, who was a very tem-! perate man. It occurred thus: He was then the leader of the House and had to speak late. Feeling greatly | fagged, he begged a whip to bring him a glass of brandy and water. The whip brought him a glass with | more brandy than water in it, which | he drank, and in a few: minutes he | was perfectly drunk. He smiled va- | cantly. He let his handkerchief fall | and made wild attempts to pick it up, | like the comic drunkard on the stage. | Then he collapsed and sat down. The House pretended to take no notice of the scene. But a few days | later Mr. Gladstone, in answering Mr. Disraeli, said that a minister} should do, or not do, this or that, and wound up by observing that he ought | to treat every subject with sobriety, | accentuating the word and pointing at Mr. Disraeli. The House was so offended—for it was well aware how the previous incident had occurred— that Mr. Gladstone was actually hiss- ed. A $2,000 Suit Over a Chicken.

Taft.Orders Dismissal of West | Pointers After Attack on Suicide’s Brother. ONE A MISSOURIAN, West Point, N. Y., Aug.—By diree- tion of President Taft, seven cadets were dismissed from the Military Academy last Thursday for being in- volved in the hazing of Rolando Sut- ton. Cadet Sutton isa brother of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, U. S. M. ., Who, after an investigation into his death two years ago, was adjudg- ed a suicide. The cadets ordered dismissed are: John J. Booker Jr., of West Point, Ga., first class; Richard W. Hocker, Kansas City, Mo., third class; Earle W. Dunmore, Utica, N. Y., third class; Chauncey C. Devore, Wheel- ing, W. Va., third class; Gordon Le- febvre, Richmond, Va., third class; Albert E. Crane, Hawarden, Ia., third class, and Jacob S. Fortner, Dothan, Ala., third class. The dismissals were announced when the cadets were paraded at | noon, Charges were made several weeks ago that Sutton was assaulted while on guard duty, walking a lonely spot, aud beaten down by men wrapped in sheets and masked with pillow cases. He was sent to the hospital suffering from severe injuries. On account of the law passed by Con- gress to stop hazing at the military academy, a rigid investigation was made. The board which conducted the inquiry was composed of Lieu- tenant Colonel Sibley, Captain Oscar J. Charles, of the Seventeenth Infan- try, and Captain M. E. Smith, of the Twentieth Infantry.

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 23.—“T am the friend of every sweetheart, and lov- ers can come to me for assistance, I ama friend of Cupid,” decalared Mayor Cooper, of Reading, a suburb of this city, when Mrs. Mary Miller was arraigned before him for inter- rupting the call her stepson made at the home of his sweetheart, Miss Alma Adolph, 18 years old. RACERS UNDAUNTED BY DEATH OF TWO. |Speed Trials at Indianapolis Re- | sumed After Bourque and Holcomb Are Killed. DAREDEVILS MUCH AFFECTED. Indianapolis, Aug.—Undaunted by the killing of Driver Bill Bourque and his companion, Holcomb, whose lives were sacrificed to the ambitions of drivers and competition of space- eating machines, the track at the In- dianapolis Motor Speedway presented just as lively a scene as ever, when the assembled daredevils appeared to tune up their cars for the second day. The race, as a whole, were by far the best best ever seen on the Amer- ican Continent, that in all the romantic race history of the famous Brooklands, England's track, there never was such a daring, swift and skilled array of pilots gath- ered together and pitted in the same arena on the same day. It was the opening of the big course with a cere- mony of speed befitting its magnitude and importance.

This is dis- couraging, but there is one special kidney medicine that cures perman- ently and there is plenty of proof right here in Butler. Here is the testimony of one who used Doan’s Kidney Pills years ago, and now states that the cure was lasting, ‘ Mark S. Clay, retired, High St. Butler, Mo., says: ‘‘When I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills I was suf- fering from sciatic rheumatism and disordered kidneys. I procured this remedy at Frank Clay’s drug store and it gave'me prompt relief.” The above statement was given in 1902 and on Noy. 30, 1908, Mr. Clay added: ‘I have never hada return of my olditroubles although I occa- sionally use a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills as a general tonic.

According to Frank Ralston this coin has been handed down in the Brown family from one genera- tion to another until now. It is val- ued at $3,850. At least that is the of- fer made by a Boston coin dealer. Only two coins of this denomination and date are known to exist, one hav- ing recently been purchased by the English government and now resting in the king's collection in London, and the other owned by Mr. Brown, who has it located in the vaults of the F, and M. bank of this city. —Rich Hill Review. Nevada Will Try Oiled Streets. Nevada will try oil on its streets. At the last session of its-council, one of its representative business men, Maj. Jo Harper, appeared before that legislative body and asked permission to put asphalt oil on North Washing- ton street between Hunter and Alli- son streets. Mr. Harper represented the property owners in these blocks. The Post says the property owners agree to furnish the asphalt oil, the tanks and all material, provided the city will furnish workmen to do the work. Councilman Ledlie moved and it was carried that the request be granted and that the city furnish the workmen to do the construction.

CLAY’S NORTH SIDE SQUARE. “The right place.” Johnson Lambasts Tariff. Aurora, Ill., Aug. —After Governor John Johnson had declared at Aurora that the new tariff was a bitter disap- poiniment, and the mere creature of stand-patters, he was asked what ef- fect it would have on the Scandina- vian vote. “The Scandinavians are naturally Republicans, but they, in common with other indignant Republicans, will likely seek a ‘way to get a real tariff revision,’’ he said. Asked if the Democratic party would give the Scandinavians what i they want, the Governor replied that it would. “Why are the Scandinavians inher- ently Republicans?’’ was asked the Minnesotan. “IT don't like to attempt an explana- tion of that,’’ he answered. ‘“‘It is likely because the Republicans have been in power when the Scandina- vian immigration was at its greatest.’” Marriage Licenses.
