II LITTLE OF E It if but natural that Hi? -t oik', fight Foraker with flrt'. Can anybody enlighten us us 10 jubi what and wherefore In a 'iHx-dle But the question is, hour ur these sheath gowns going to work In wind weather? The next thing we know of Gov ernor Haskell wilt be accused of "le majeste." The main trouble Is that the air ship! that fly like a bird don't know how to light llk3 one. In the brilliant lexicon of ante election politics there is no such thing as a "good trust." "Don't Arch bold now" is said to bo a uew way of warning a trust mag nate not to put It in writing. The fact that Haskell is a poet ought to have warned Bryan of his dark and desparate character. But don't these statesmen lose nim-h of their dignity by howling their sentiments into a phonograph. The Baltimore Sun says that John W. Kern seems to be the only man who is absolutely sure of Maryland. There's no sound so sweet to the ear of "predatory wealth" as the low, dull quash of the indictment. And now it looks as if the Repub lican management may have to dis pense with the services of Treasurer Bheldon. The governor of Indiana is to take the lecture platform. Don't see how that may be, when li eve ridge has It nailed down. "Greenish brown," says a fashion note, "is the fall hue for men." We fear" some men will not find that to their taste. With so many of the big politi cians talking all at once, a few words from Chancellor Day might relieve the monotony. In these days of high coat of liv ing the contortionist seems to be the only one who finds It easy to make both ends meet. Andy Carnegie has founded a $1,250,000 hero fund In Scotland. It won't be long before all the heroes will be labeled. The prohibitionists have not gone so far as to make an Issue of guar anteeing that men will come home sober from work. Scotland needs no Carnegie med als, for her braw Inhabitants have to be heroes to live In a land of oat meal and granite. And now the doctors have discover ed why the judge rode on and never turned to look back at Maud Muller. He had hay fever. Still, Speaker Cannon may be glad that It Is not the Baptists who are after him with the intention of throwing him overboard. Some of the western exchanges are now Intimating that Mr. Foraker "will soon be able to give all hfs time to the Standard Oil Company. General Jacob S. Coxey, It la re "ported, has Invented a power-saving ' motor. But, like a good many of Coxey's lale army, It may not work. If the Republican campaign man agers don't hurry up and burn a lit tle more red fire, President Hoose relt may take the stump In sheer dis gust. In spite of the line of talk ho Is putting out, Kugene Debs Is going to tay right in this country and en joy life just as much as the rest of us. The owner of a big hotel recently retted In Sioux Kalis, S. 1)., has of fered a prize Tor the most dramatic name for his hostelry. Why not "The Great Divide?" Candidate llisgen has declared that he will not bring up his children to vote for Bryan. How many more times does he think Mr. Bryan will run? Remarkable how long ttie country lias been compelled to wait for rain. In imttn rtf Ihn rnnllnund iiriullndniiD of fair weather from the weather bu-! feati, Tho Allentown Call reports a man In that town whose nature is so atnt-llke that he treats the tax col lector with civility. More work for the alienists! A Pennsylvania corporation offers to restore Its 10 per cent reduction In wages If Taft Is elected. Funny, Isn't It the proposal to turn a Roose Telt reduction Into a Taft raise. Messrs. Gompers and Cannon are talking about each other in a man ner that leaves the country to Infer that neither would think of loaning th other a cent. With Gu Thomas on the stump for Bryan and Raymond Hitchcock aylng kind words for Taft, It must be about time for Eddie Foy to coma out for somebody, If Governor Hughes loses the votes Of all the men In New York who, at ome time In (heir Uvea, thought they could pick the winning horses ftt a race track, he will finish In the Also-ran class. alijfc. Fortunately, the American work jlngman has been sufficiently edurat i ed to know how much faith to pin tto the stuff seven political parties are handing him this year. In Tibet, wu are told by an ex change, the week Is only five days long. That must be rather embar rassing to a man who belongs to even or eight lodges. Bryan declares that the stars in their courses are fighting for him. Which might be a matter of import ance If the Republicans would not Insist on staying right on the ground. The philosopher of the Indiana polls News says that notwithstanding the return of confidence, 40 cents' worth of pork chops isn't any bigger than It was while confidence was en joying its vacation. One of the current magazines has attracted considerable attention with an article on "The Scarcity of Skunks." But what's the odds, so long as gasoline carts are passing the house every minute or two? "When Governor Hughes speaks he always has something to say," re marks the Chicago Tribune. What the racing people object to Is the fact that he has been saying too much for their good. With both Adam Bede and John Wesley Guinea missing from tne next congress, the Congressional Record will be In danger of losing some of Its valued subscribers who know gen uine humor when they see It. It has been determined that when a man Is bitten by a rattlesnake it is not an emergency case. Don't the authorities supose that a man seek a drink of snakebite antidote knows whether it is an emergency case or not. Lord Rossyln's test of his elabor ate system to beat the bank at Monte Carlo went the way of a million and one similar flings at the tiger, with the exception that failure cost Lord Rossyln nothing. His play consisted entirely of mind bets, the most sen sible part of his system. Exchange. Why Stock Is Sold. The Siskiyou Copper Gold Developing Co. finds Itself in pre cisely the same position as the farm er who hat a larger farm than he can cultivate with the capital at hand. He knows that with addition al capital and assistance he could make the laud yield abundant crops and enormous profits. In the same way we Intend, by the Investment of additional capital, to bring our enor mous ore bodies to a highly profit able state of development at the ear liest possible moment.

Because you have contracted or dinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind. ; do not for a moment Imagine that : colds are not dangerous. K very one j knows that pneumonia and chronic 1 catarrh have their origin in a com- ' m on cold. Consumption is not ran-; sed by a cold but tne cold prepares the system for the reception and de- velopment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. I It Is the same with all Infections dis- ; eases, Diphtheria, scarlet fever, 1 measles and whooping cough are I much more likely o lie contracted when the child has a cold. You will i see from this that more real danger lurks in a cold than In any other of the common ailments. The easiest ; and quickest way to cure a cold is to ' take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1 The many remarkable cures effected ; by this preparation have made it a . staple article of trade over a large part of the world.

Meeting Sanders near the corner of First and Lyon streets, O' Brien queried, "la your name San dors?" and when the latter answer ed yes, he raised the pistol and fired. The bullet grazed the right side of Sander's face, which was powder burned. Sanders then retreated. At the request of O'Brien's friends Sanders refused to sign a complaint charging assault with Intent to kill, and O'Brien disposed of his interests here and left the city southbound. THKV WII.I.
