MAY PLAY POLITICAL PART Hearst's Editor Will Colonize, Esist Slders at Allaire and Become Be nevolent Landlord " Makes Jersey Politicians Shudder. NEW YORK, March 18. (Special.) Ar thur Brisbane, who writes the red-hot so cialist editorials on the New York Even ing' Journal, has bought an entire deserted village in New Jersey and has thereby created much excitement. The question that is agitating his followers is: "Will Brisbane be a plutocratic land lord or an all-wool philanthropist?" The editor is now the owner ol Allaire, N. J., and all he paid for it was J125.000 cash. It is understood that the Allaire Water Supply & Land Company, the for mer owner, believes it has got the best of the bargain. Allaire Is In Monmouth County, about six miles from Lakewood and 0 from Asbury Park. It Is on the Freehold and Janesburg division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, but trains never stop there, be cause the town has not even a lonesome inhabitant By his purchase Mr. Brisbane becomes the proud possessor of 600 acres of land; a deserted Iron foundry, six buildings where stoves were formerly manufactured, and the office building: 63 cottages, more or leas dismantled and weather-beaten; a railroad station without any Interior fixings or windows; one church building. Once Thriving Iron Town. Many years ago Allaire was one of the most flourishing small towns of North Jersey. John Allaire built great iron works there, and the place was named after him. It was really a pioneer es tablishment, for the iron work used in the construction of Robert Fulton's steam boat waa made there and steamboat screws were tirst manufactured at Allaire. John Roach, tho 'shipbuilder, learned his trade under the veteran ironmaster, and for many years lived near the works. It is an interesting coincidence that the "company store." which Brisbane has editorially denounced in manv editorials, had its first trial at the village tho writer now. owns. The store was so prosperous that for a time tho Howell Iron Company, as the corporation operating the works was known, issued Its own currency to the 600 or more workmen it employed But the remoteness of Allaire from any of the mining centers led to its downfall Its ore had to tie shipped from Pennsyl vania, and soon after Mr. Allaire's death the company found Itself unable to com pete with the Pennsylvania iron manu facturers, who were then Just getting a. real start In business. Finally the works rwevC,Fed' "nd " 0t tne hands ved ?" , ars the face has been dead to the world, but with the advent of Bris bane a new era of prosperity is prom- Brisbane Social Scheme. Tt Is known that the editor has taken Thf" If or,intTt 1" Halicon hall, the Socialist colony founded by Upton flZ, .1 'VN:W JersPJ"' but he believed that the S nclalr experiment Is doomed to be a failure, U Halicon hall, every th ng Is enjoyed In common by the colonists. While believing in many of the principles of Socialism. Mr. Brisbane Is not convinced that ail men should be placed on the same level, and he has not the slightest Intention of whacking up his salary (which by the way was re cently raised to $72,000 a year) with any 2 a day hodcarrier. When asked concerning his plan re garding Allaire. Mr. Brisbane simply remarked that he intended to experiment In model farming, but declined to give any further particulars. One of his friends said, howeved: "At the proper time you wltl see a practical demonstration of practical So cialism. It is Brisbane's intention to divide his place up Into small truck farms and secure settlers from the crowded East Side. I understand that Nathan Strans is interested in the project. He and Bris bane are great friends, and have been associated in a number of enterprises. The Intention Is I believe, to give each settler 20 to 30 acre., of land, and see what he can do with it. in the way of raising vegetables for the New York market. If he makes money, he is to be charged rent. This tax is not to be a fixed charge, but a certain percentage on what he makes over living expenses, fhould the farmer fail, despite his best endeavors, not only will rental be waived, but he may receive some money. loafers, however, are to be promptly thrown out. May Bny OMicr Villages. "Brisbane thinks the scheme is not only a good financial investment, but that It will be a boon to many persons who are now cooped up on the East Side, doomed to perpetual poverty. Should the matter prove to be as big a success as It seems on paper. I would not be surprised if he purchased some more 'deserted villages Jersey is full of them, and they can be secured for a song; even a topical song." Summer residents along the jersey coast bitterly oppose the Brisbane Idea, for Allaire, because of its ruin and desolation, has been one of the show places of Mon mouth County. Stage lines have done a prosperous business by running there from Asbury Park and the near-by resorts, and sightseeing automobiles have been utilized to similar purpose. With the ad vent of the editorial landlord, of course all the plcturesqueness will cease and everything will be run on a strictly busi ness basis. There have been rumors afloat that. Brisbane Intended to drop Journalism and lake up the life of a country gentlemen, but this is scoffed at by all his friends. He is simply going to be a philanthropist of the absentee landlord variety, and. undoubtedly, will have a lot of fun out of It. Alarm Anmns Politicians. Politicians, however, are watching Mr. Brisbane's experiment with grave con cern. Monmouth has been a Republican County for a good many years, but by a comparatively narrow margin. For ex ample, in 1904, when Rossevelt swept the state, he only carried Monmouth by 10.RSS votes to 9031' for Parker. Last year the Republican plurality was only 110, and nominally It is less than 300. With the advent of the Allaire enthu siasts, it Is evident that Brisbane would hold the balance of power, which would mean he would be in a position to dictate the State Senator and two members of Assembly. And as the entire New Jer sey Legislature comprises only 21 Senators and 60 Assemblymen, these three votes might prove of value some day. H. L. Austin, one of the Democratic headers In Jersey City and an ex-As-' semblyman. said today: "If Brisbane gets this colony going right, he la liable to be a factor in poli tics. He will undoubtedly direct his ten ants how to vote, 4ust as old Dr. Dowie did In Zlon City. Should he be anxious to cut Ice In poll tics. I don't know anybody who would stop him. We are rather shy on leaders just now, and one with money and Ideas would be welcomed. It wouldn't surprise me one' bit if Brisbane's socialist colony should be the means of sending him to the United States Senate some day. He would cer tainly make things hum at Washington, and I, for one. would like to see him go there. Trying to Find a Xante. And in the meantime there is naturally great excitement on the East Side. All agree that the name of Allaire must be changed, but they cannot decide on the substitute. At present Brisbania Is in the lead, with League Junction, Anti-Monopoly and Extra.'! fighting for the place. ATTRACT CASH TO STATE Ingciiius Nebraska Scheme to Ex empt Bank Deposits From Taxes. OMAHA, Neb., March 18. (Special.) If you are a rich man with a big lot of ready cash in the bank, on which you do not wish to pay taxes, go to Nebraska. A bill is now before the Nebraska Legis lature with every prospect of becoming a law, the provisions of which will enable any man who has a large amount of ready cash to avoid paying taxes on money which he may have deposited In banks. Of course any law would be uncon stitutional if enacted with a provision for the. cancellation of taxes or containing any provisions for the giving away of state funds, but there la nothing to pre vent the state from paying salaries for services performed, and that is the precise intent of the proposed law. New Jersey is said to be the home of trusts, Texas has its bountiful exemption laws and South Dakota bids for the divorce immigration, but Nebraska Is going them all one better by bidding for the rich men with the ready cash. The bill, which in itself is simple enough, was introduced at the request of John O. Yeiser, a prominent Omaha at torney, and has advanced to Its last reading. It has for its title "An act to create a Board of Immigration, Commerce and Industry, to be composed of the Gov ernor, State Treasurer and Attorney-General, and defining its duties; providing for the appointment- of advisory secretaries, defining their qualifications and duties and providing for their compensation." The Idea and spirit of the bill Is simply this: That a man may come to Nebraska, declare himself at once to be a citizen of the state and ask for an appointment on the advisory board. Upon being ap pointed, he shall be qualified to draw as compensation for his services an amount equal to the sum paid by him as taxes on his bank deposits, as compensation for his services upon the advisory board. These services will be principally confined to recommending his wealthy friends to pursue the course which he himself is following. The framing of such a law which would be constitutional was not easy. This bill, however, covers the ground, because it does not provide for the cancellation of taxes nor the giving away of state funds. Legal talent has been employed by the commercial bodies of the state to define the limitations of such a law in order that it may stand a test In the courts. While the movement originated in Omaha, the law will work equally to the advantage of the small towns. The idea of the promoters is that' it will give the ready-cash resident of outside states an opportunity to spend a pleasant vacation In Nebraska and thus save paying taxes on his cash, and incidentally permit him to invest in this state. The belief Is also indulged in that the recent enactment of a 2-cent passenger fare law in Nebraska will work to advan tage in connection with the proposed "ready-cash" law, and make Nebraska the home of many men who wish to avoid paying taxes on their Idle money and retain a clear conscience. X-RAYS ON THE GOVERNOR New Mexico Legislators Accuse .Hagcrman of Land Fraud. SANTA FE, N. M., March IB. The fight in the lower house of the Leg islature culminated this afternoon in the adoption by a vote of 13 to 10 of a report to investigate the Governor's alleged connection with the disposal of 7003 acres, of timber by the territory to the Pennsylvania Development Com pany, of Pittsburg. The report, which is bitter in its arraignment of Gov ernor Hagerman, finds that he signed 23 deeds conveying part of this timber land and afllxed the seal of the Com missioner of . Public Lands thereto without warrant of law, concluding that-the disposition of the land in the manner mentioned was a fraud upon the people of the territory and its in stitutions. The report recommends that the District Attorney bring action to set aside the' deeds on the ground of Ille gality and fraud in their procurement, not only in the case of the Pennsyl vania Development Company, but also those deeds mado by the previous ad ministration, which involve the title to almost 100,000 acres of the best ter ritory timber land. During the adoption of the report a personal encounter took place on the floor of the House between the leaders of the opposing factions. Representatives- H. B. Bolt and A. J. Hudspelp, but they were quickly separated. The Governor did not obey the sum mons to testify before the. legislative committee. THE DAY'S DEATH RECORD General Joseph Stockton, Chicago.

MANY NARROW . ESCAPES Bridges Washed Out and Others In Danger Reno Electric Plant Damaged Sacramento River Causes Flood in Lowlands. RENO, Nev., March 18. The Truckee River reached the highest point In the 36 years of which records have been kept to day at 10 o'clock. . Two hundred feet of railway track is washed away below Verde and another gap exists at the Chalk Bluff, east of town. All trains east and west are being held owing to the floods having washed under the abut ments of the Verde bridge, rendering It unsafe. Every bridge on the Carson River Is washed out and the famous Winters ranch on the shores of Washoe Lake is all under water. There is where El Rio Rey, Yo Tambien, Emperor of Nor folk and other great horses were bred. At Gardnerville Assemblyman Nuss man arrived from Carson City just in time to save his family. No lives have been lost, but there have been many narrow escapes. Fred Lerabuss, in trying to open the gates of the Reno Milling Company's great ditch, was sucked under the gates, but came out in the race alive and was saved. John Kelly, marooned on an island in the river, was thrown a rope, but refused to be rescued. The old town of Glendale, six miles east of Reno, is completely under water. All the population got away in safety except one man, who would not leave and Is now camped in an upper story of his house. The new ulectric light bridge over the Truckee ani the bridge at Mayberry are holding, but the old electric light bridge and the Lawton bridge went early in the morning. The Lawton bridge floated down the Truckee River intact apparently, and it reached the Mayberry bridge, when It was broken into fragments. The bridge at Virginia street. Reno, is intact. Three blocks of the noted Riverside Drive at Reno are under water. The basements of the Masonic Temple and many private houses along the river are flooded, but the Riverside Hotel is safe. Four cabins on the river bank were washed away. There was no electric light or power all day. the powerhouse having been greatly damaged. The damage in Reno will be covered by about J20.000 and below Reno about $50,000, while the railroad will be put to an ex pense of about J5000 to restore to safety the' Verde bridge. At 8 o'clock: the river began to fall and it is thought all danger is over. SACRAMENTO RIVER BOOMING. Great Yolo Levee Floods Town and Threatens Bridges. SACRAMENTO, Cart., March 18. The Sacramento River at this city is booming tonight and In the past 12 hours has risen almost three feet. The flood waters from the American, Feather and Yuba' Rivers are pouring into the Sacramento and while the flood crest has not reached this city, all indications are that a new high water record will be made. The overflow pouring through the break in the Yolo levee at the Krlpp ranch across from this city has backed up into the south and west end of Washington and all the residence portion of- the town is from two or three feet under water with a constant rise. Several hundred acres' of farm and fruit land are covered, but the damage is slight. The American River at the Sacramento County bridge above this city has over topped the high-water mark and the bridges of the Northern Electric and Western Pacific Railway Companies are in danger of being carried away by the flood. The bridges were weakened early yesterday by the floods and, with the large amount of driftwood and swift cur rent pounding on their piers, fears are entertained that the structures may go out before morning. The Fair Oaks bridge on the American River, 17 miles above this city. Is reported In danger, the water being within a few inches of the floor. At Folsom the river registered 18 feet, the highest ever known. No apprehension Is felt here, as the levees can withstand ten feet more water than is now flowing in the river. The gauge is at the 24-foot mark, three feet and a half less than during the high water last January. Rain continues in all parts of the valley. Cache Creek, near Woodland, Is near the 23-foot mark and Is rapidly rising. All afternoon it rose at the rate of four inches an hour and, if it gets to the 2T-foot mark before morning, the stream will overflow Its banks and flood thous ands of acres of fruit and farming land. At the McPhee ranch, above Woodland, the water is expected to break out at any minute and all the settlers In the lower part of the valley have taken refuge in the higher lands. Many farmers are patrolling the banks of the stream - tonight, . watching every Inch of the banks for miles. There Is great danger of the stream overflowing near Woodland tonight and1' a flood Is PILES Pastor's Wife in Southern City Re stored to Health by the Wonder ful Pyramid Pile Cure.

Boise Republican Ticket. BOISE, Idaho, March 18. (Special.) The Republican ' city convention today Scrofula is not a disease that is acquired, tinder ordinary circumstances. It is a deep-seated family blood taint, handed down from generation to gen eration, blighting: the lives and capping the vital forces of innocent persons who have inherited this legacy of disease. Parents who are blood relations or who have a consumptive tendency, or blood disease of any character, are sure to transmit it to their offspring, and it usually takes the form of Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, sores and eruptions on the body, Catarrh, and often deformities with hip disease, are the principal ways in which the trouble is manifested. In some cases the blood is so filled with scrofulous germs and poisons that from birth the sufferer is an object of pity because of suffering and a total lack of health, while ia other instances favorable surroundings and prudent living hold the disease in check until later in life. A deep-seated blood disease like Scrofula can only be reached by the very best constitutional treatment.

AMERICAN CIGAR COMPANY Manufacturer PURITY OF PROCESS Means Excellence of the Preparation. Think of nearly ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS of boxes ol Cascarets sold in the last eleven years, all on the pure merit oi this wonderful preparation, and every tablet of nearly a BILLION TABLETS having exactly the same Purity, Quality and Medi cinal Merit as the rest of them. It is the PURITY OF PRO. CESS that made this seeming miracle possible purity in the sense of exactness, nicety, care and selection. When, in 1896, Cascarets were first created, the purpose of its maker was to make the best Bowel Remedy ever designed and compounded. Th preparation was to be pure and harmless, made by PURE PROCESSES, and sold under a pure promise that it would accomplish always what wa( claimed, with the alternative of a guaranty or money refunded. The grateful recommendation of hundreds of thousands of pleased, patrons who found Cascarets to be TRUE and dependable was by far th greatest element in the promotion of their success. Now that the PURE FOOD AND DRUG ACT has gone into effect, we cannot refrain from welcoming it for the benefit of the people, and at the same time from claiming that we adopted OUR OWN PURE DRUGS Act in 1896, and by steadfast adherence to the principles then set to guida us, have convinced the world of the power of purity and truth as exem plified by Cascarets, a pure, honest, harmless, reliable article for the pro vention and alleviation of all diseases of the stomach and bowels. What stronger argument than the favor of millions of satisfied friends, of whom hundreds of thousands have been relieved of great sufferings, cani be offered to him or her who has not tried Cascarets when in trouble? The slightest attack of irregularity, costiveness, colic, headache, flatulency, alL tne signs ot impending CONSTIPATION should be needed as a waming.1 and immediate recourse be taken to that great preventive ot disease, Cascarets. The specific purpose of Cascarets is not alone as a treatment for the! cure ot constipation, but even more so, to keep tne entire tooo-cana clean and antiseptic, destroying alt disease germs before they can form a lodg ing and start their iniquitous activity. Those who have never tried Cascarets, as an immediate laxative, a reli able cathartic, a positive preventive and the best all-around FAMILY MEDICINE, should ro to their own druggist TODAY and buy a little 10c. box surely not too risky an added to our millions of friends.
