Stump, a white man. had been employed In the Standard Oil offices six years. Both were discharged in 1S6 after they had abstracted many letters. The two men played the races and needed money.

But it is said the protected Interests own the party by contributing to the campaign fund and therefore that the Republican party does not dare jctve us an honest and thorouah revision. Well, I am somewhat f a miliar with the total of the rmpain fund and i am able to advls every one that there la rmt er.mish there tn dehaucn either a party of the people or a very small body of persons and that. If anyhodv i achinc to contribute to something that nred support, he has the opportunity by sending it to the campaign fund. Cuts Down Itinerary. Th Important result of th conference this mominic between the candidate and National Chairman Hitchcock will be to eliminate Connecticut from the itinerary and to curtail his New York Itinerary so that he will have to make at most but two lone; speeches each day of the final days of the campalim. which he will spend in the Empire Stuto. The Indiana Itinerary, which will be !n operation Thursday, was announced to night. He will speak on Thursday. Fri day and Saturday in that state and will reach Chicago at S o'clock Saturday night. Tomorrow niffht Mr. Taft will speak In Cumberland. Md., and through West Vir ginia on his way to Cincinnati, where he will arrive Wednesday evening for one day"s rest. the candidate looking better and that Mr. Taft la more hopeful of the result than he has been at any time since the cam paign began. He will rest In Ohio Wednes day. Mr. Hitchcock believes from information he has received that there is a fighting chance In Missouri fof the Republican Na tional ticket. Mr. Hitchcock expects to go to Chicago within the next five days. General O. O. Howard., of Vermont, came to headquarters to volunteer to take the atump for Taft and Sherman. He was assigned to campaign In Ohio from Octo ber 23 to 27, and in Indiana from October 28 to 31. TAFT'S VOICE WFAKIXG OCT i'uls Out Outdoor Speeches and Changes Itinerary. NEW YORK. Oct. W That W. H. Taft's voice is in such bad condition that he will have to cancel many of his dates for speaking was indicated by Chairman Hitchcock on his return today from a morning visit with Mr. Taft at Newark. N. J. This means a rearrangement of Mr. Taft's Itinerary, but it will not affect his dates in New York. Ho will be In this city as arranged. The rearrangement will cut out all of Mr. Taft's day speeches and one of his night speeches. The latter is the speech which had been planned for Chicago next Saturday night. It is also expected that most of Mr. Taft's dates in West Virginia will be cancelled. Mr. Hitchcock is at work now on the West Virginia situation, so far as Mr. Taft is concerned. The. dates for Mr. Taft's speeches in Connecticut also may be cancelled. Dr. Richardson, the- throat specialist, who is traveling with Mr. Taft. is of the opinion that his rolce has been affected chiefly by his outdoor speaking. By aban doning the day speech, which were to have been made out of doors, it Is be lieved Mr. Taft will be able to meet all of bis night engagements with the excep tion of that at Chicago. Mr. Hitchcock said that he never saw RAILROADMEN ARE FOR TAFT Indorse His Injunction Record and Oppqe Government Ownership. T R ENTON. N- J., Oct. 1 9.

Chapin. of the Order of Railway Conductors of New York City, told Mr. Taft that the railway men of the East would almost unani mously vote for him. and added: We believe you were- right In your Injunction record, and the principles then laid down have since been made a part of the constitution of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, as well as of the constitutions of the other big railway service organizations. We are unalterably opposed to Bryan's per sonal views regarding Government ownership of railways." TOTAL D EATH S IN . FORESTS NOW 41 Many Families and School Children in Michigan Are Still Missing.

FOUR BULLETS KILL -FOUR (Continued from First Page.) fng over his gun stock, his aim waa ac curate. Fierce Battle Begins. The first Indian fell with a, bullet in his back and at the report of the rifle shot the other three turned and opened fire on the prostrate officer. Then the real battle began. Peyton crouched low in the grass to protect himself as much as possible. Bullets san& past his ears and tore up the ground In front of him and at his sides, and for every shot he fired there were three in return. The wounded mnn's supreme nerve never failed him. In the agony of hi wounds, he sighted accurately and one after the other of the Flatheada dropped to .the ground. When the last one fell Peyton himself was drawing hi last breath. His reputation as a fighter and rifleman had been sustained. "They got me," he said to Rudolph, who had come running to his assistance during the battle, "but I got them, too." A moment afterwards, with. his head on Rudolph's lap, while his companion struggled desperately to check tire flow of blood. Peyton died. Rudolph had twice attempted to come up during the shooting, but each time the squaws standing in the edge of the timber had opened fire on him. It was not until Peyton himself had shot down his four assailants that Rudolph suc ceeded in reaching his side, and even then he was wounded in the arm, ,the bullet splintering the bone above the elbow. Rudolph reached Ovando late this morning and told the story of the bat tle In the mountains. At noon a party left to bring back Peyton's body. Owing to the rugged nature of the country It Is r.ot believed the remains will reach here before Thursday. Peyton was 85 years old. For a num ber of years he was employed as a pro fessional guide before he received his appointment as a game warden. He was recognized as one of the nerviest officers in the employ of the state and known as the best shot in the country. Amusements Wbat tlM frcit Aetata Sa. Lat Time "Checker" Toniffht.
