VISITORS ARE CUT SHORT Prospect Is That Campaign Activities Will Not Bo Renewed, Although Colonel Wants to Make Another Speech. CHICAGO, Oct. 17, I. A. M. Whea It nunt time to take kla temperature, Colonel Roosevelt was sonad aaleep and kad been alnco shortly after 11 o'clock. ' At tkat time he was visited by Dr. Mr. Canler, the kosM surgeon, who was told by the Colonel that be "Intended to ret In seven good hours of sleep.'

After a day of ceaseless vigil. Colonel Roosevelt's phy slclans tonight could say no mora than that his condition was virtually un changed. Indications, they said, favored the speedy recovery of the ex Presldent from the effects of the bullet which struck him down In Milwaukee, Monday "night. A rise In temperature and pulse late la the day, however, made his condl ' tlon for the time being somewhat less favorable. Rib Fracture Hew Discovery. The fact that a rib was fractured, which was not disclosed until today, added to the feeling of uncertainty. Not before Friday. If all goes well, will the physicians be prepared to say that their patient is out of .danger. The intervening period will be required to determine whether blood poisoning or other complications are to be feared. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., after a talk with his father and a consultation with the attending surgeons, expressed the feelings of those about the ex-President. "It will be four or five days," he said, "before we can breathe easily." Mrs. Roosevelt Cheerful. Colonel Roosevelt spent a quiet and apparently carefree day, seemingly the least concerned of all. , He was buoyed up by the cheerful appearance of Mrs. Roosevelt who arrived early In the day from New York and remained with him constantly. He felt no pain, he said, and moved about at will on his bed reading, dictating telegrams or talking with members of bis family. In the afternoon he slept for a time. Dr. John B. Murphy, who Is In charge of case. Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan and Dr. Scurry Terrell, Colonel Roosevelt's physician, held three consultations during the day. Aside from the offi cial bulletins which they Issued, which gave little indication of any change, they would say little of the condition of the patient. Why the rib fracture was not discovered until today was not made known, although it was said there was no cause for alarm on this account Wife Takes Charge. As soon as Mrs. Roosevelt reached the hospital she took charge of affairs. She was accompanied by Theodore Roosevelt. Jr.. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Miss Ethel Roosevelt. Later In the day Representative Longworth ar rived. Mrs. Roosevelt installed her self In a room adjoining that of her husband, nd during the day seldom left his bedside. Mrs. Roosevelt's first move was to decree that the Colonel must see no visitors except members of his family. Once or. twice during the day she made exceptions, but otherwise she adhered flrmly to ber resolution. The Colonel was "feeling fine" and ready to re ceive visitors, but Mrs. Roosevelt gave him no opportunity to pass upon her ruling, for she made It on her own authority, and saw to It that It was en forced. She received the cards and messages for her husband, and sent back the replies, with the result that the Colonel himself did not know who wished to see him. Early Radiograph Inaccurate. It was learned today that the X-ray photograph which was taken in Mil waukee a few hours after Colonel Roosevelt was shot did not show ac curately the location of the bullet and another photograph was taken this afternoon. The fracture of the rib explained the. pain which Colonel Roosevelt felt in breathing deeply. ' The impression grew today that Colonel Roosevelt would be able to do little or nothing In the campaign. Al though the Colonel expressed the hope of leaving for, Oyster Bay on Sunday, it Is probable that he will be compelled to remain in the hospital at least a GQVEKY INDICATED .

ENTERPRISE IS EGGLESS Eastern Oregon Town's Hens Refuse to Lay Sufficiently. , ENTERPRISE, Or.. Oct 1. (Spe clal.) For two weeks It has been near. ly impossible to buy an egg In this city. For some reason hens have about stopped laying, and what few eggs were available have been kept by the owners of the hens for their own use. Prices have not advanced materially, but undoubtedly will rise If the dearth continues. .Wallowa County ordinarily produces many eggs. -The supply exceeds the demands all Spring and Summer. Prices for many months were 15 cents a dozen. Late in the Summer, they were sold at 27 cents, which was the last figure be fore the supply was shut oft. Last Winter, for a short time, eggs went to 60 cents a dozen, but dropped abruptly- long . before . warm - weather came. Few eggs are shipped into the coun ty, largely because the home product is more than sufficient for nine or ten months a year. BAD WINTER PREDICTED Okanogan Indian Prophets Say Se' vere Season Is Due. WENATCHEE, Wash., Oct. 6. (Spe cial.) Indian weather prophets of the Okanogan, Including Sam Small, noted observer of the seasons, predict one of the most severe Winters on record for the entire Northwest. While settlers familiar with the accuracy of the red man's prophesies substantiate the fore cast. - The Indians base their observations largely on the prevalence of wild geese and ducks on the lakes and rivers of the Upper Columbia Basin. It is said these wild fowls are more numer ous than ever before within the mem ory of red man or white. Their early appearance, too. Is taken as an Indica tion that Winter will commence early. The thick plumage of the geese is a sure sign, say the Indians, that there will be much snow. In fact, some snow has already fallen in the higher altitudes of the Columbia stretch.

Defeating the New York Nationals today 3 to 3 In ten innings, they cap tured their fourth victory of the world's series and carried off the premier hon ors In baseball. The Giants won three games of the series.-that weref played before more than a quarter of a million people, and one contest was a tie. Fans Have Many Thrills. Today's was a game of excitement and changing emotions for the 17,000 spectators who went to Fenway Park to see the teams meet In the deciding contest. Not until twilight had fallen on the tenth Inning did red-stockinged Ed. Terkes flash Over the plate with the winning run. Nine Innings of a pitching duel be tween the master boxman of the Giants, Christy Mathewson, and the stripling Bedlent and "Smoky" Joe Wood for the Red Sox found the two contenders for championship honors with a tally each. Into the tenth Inning the contest went, and the Giants chilled the hopes of the Boston crowd by scoring a run on a double Into the bleacher by Mur ray and a hit by Merkle to center. which Speaker Juggled. Engle led off for the Red Sox In the last half of the tenth. He had gone to bat for Joe Wood and there was a groan when the Red Sox pinch hitter sent up a tower ing fly to loft center. Saodgrass Muffs Fly. Snodgrass moved over toward the bleacher seats and waited for the ball to drop. He muffed It, and before the ball was recovered Engle was on sec ond base, no one was out and the crowd was In a frenzy of Joy. Hooper tried to sacrifice, but Math ewson foiled him and the best the Red Sox' right gardener could do was a fly to Snodgrass. The Giant pitcher tried to work the corners of the plate for Yerkes, but Yerkes waited him out and walked on four balls. With Engle on second and Yerkes on first Tris Speaker came up. The first ball pitched was a curve and Inside and Speaker popped up a high foul. Meyers, Merkle and Mathewson went after It, but it fell safe between them. New York's last chance to stop the Bos tons passed with the failure to get that foul ball. Mathewson started a high fast one and Speaker met It fairly. On a line over Doyle's head the ball was driven and Engle rushed over the plate with the tielng run. On the throw-in Yerkes went to third and Speaker dashed on to second. Gardner's Long Fly Ends Series. - The New York Infield drew In and Lewis purposely was passed so that a runner could be forced at the plate on an infield grounder. Then came the finish. Gardner, with three balls and one strike on him, smashed a long fly to Devore. Yerkes set himself at third and dashed for home when the ball dropped In Devore's hands. Meyers crouched at the plate to take the throw he expected from Devore. Instantly he had caught it, Devore whipped the ball homeward. On came the flying Yerkes, on came the ball. Mathewson, who saw that the throw of the little left fielder would be wide, threw up his' hands and Meyers turned away without trying for the ball. Yerkes did not know the throw was wide, however, and he plunged head foremost and slid over the plate In a cloud of dust with the run that won the world's championship for the Red Sox.
