WAR MADE IMPOSSIBLE.
If all the “advanced'* ideas were
auopted it would seem that war would
soon be made impossible. Many
schemes have been exploited In the
shape of skillfully written newspaper
or magazine articles, but the building
of big warships continues. The latest
claimant for attention at Washington
is an individual who has conceived
the brilliant plan of having ships
carry a reel of barbed wire at the
stern, so arranged that an end can be
thrown overboard while the vessel
steams swiftly around the enemy un
til the latter’s propellers are so tan
gled up that they cannot turn. Then,
says the inventor, “all the fleet need
is to sail away and leave its enemy’s
men to starve and its ships to rust”
But the naval authorities have filed
away this most impressive sugges
tion along with that of the man who
a few years ago wanted the govern
ment to adopt a projectile filled with
a gaz that would anaesthetize all on
board an enemy’s ship, so that capture
would be easy. The day of the inven
tor is not yet past. Nor that of the
crank.
When the summer vacation season
opens the rush of Americans to Eu
rope taxes the capacity of the outgo
ing steamships. Long before the end
of the summer vacation season the
pressure of the returning tide of trav
el Is felt. People who desire to jour
ney in comfort and who neglect to en
gage their passage a long time ahead,
find themselves at the present junc
ture obliged to pay extreme prices or
wait A special from Berlin tells of
a wealthy New Yorker who wanted to
come home and applied for first-class
accommodations on the Hamburg-
American line. The cheapest price
at which he could procure a cabin
suite, he found, was $2,000. The
North German Lloyd boats are sim
ilarly crowded, both companies be
ing “booked up” for several weeks. It
pays the ocean traveler to be fore
handed.
The house fly Is frequently expound
ed upon as the most dangerous dis
ease purveyor of summertime, says
Chicago Journal. Let us not forget
that the rat is also a dangerous ma
rauder, and a menace to public health.
San Francisco employs 30 rat trap
pers, who average more than 8,000
rats a month captured, and unknown
armies of the pests poisoned in the
sewers. Chicago should take meas
ures to rid herself of the rat plague,
which not only facilitates the distibu
tion of disease but causes an annual
loss of thousands of dollars by its
sharp teeth and inordinate appe
tite.
A dispatch from Honolulu says that
doctors have succeeded in isolating
the germ of leprosy, that they are
now trying to develop a serum, and
that this means ultimately the cure
for the disease. Unfortunately this is
not the first time that we have been
told we are on the eve of the discov
ery of a cure for leprosy. But it Is
46 years since Hansen discovered the
bacillus of leprosy.
They are laughing at a man in east
New York who, waking suddenly,
shot off his big toe thinking his foot
was the face of a burglar. Chicago,
which brags of its size in everything
but feet, has the incident already
noted for its comic almanac of next
year.
Don Jaime, the Spanish pretender,
announces that he will not resort to
violence for the purpose of securing
the throne. We predict that he will
fail if he attempts to coax Alfonso
to give it up.
A St. Louis astronomer has discov
ered a sun spot 50,000 miles wide and
a Massachusetts astronomer has found
a new comet. Nevertheless we expect
things to move along the earth about
as usual.
If anything can revive the Shake
speaean drama the rendering of “As
You Like It” in Esperanto will do it.
Even if it were dead it would ”ise up
and kick.
It may be true that the average
American eats 82 pounds of sugar a
year, but he does not act the part
when the umpire makes a bad deci
sion.
Being chauffeur to an aeroplane is
exhilarating, but for a fat man who is
fond of his meals and his fireside
fishing is better.
A Chicago man has a fiddle that
has been played for 400 years. It does
not state how many men it has driven
to drink.
It would seem that about the only
way tor r.n aeroplane to get into print
is to break in.
People who buy their literature b>
the pound will never finish cracking
jokes about Dr. Eliots five feet of
books.
A girl accomplished a swimming
feat in Boston that man failed to do.
But then girls are more “buoyant”
than men.
New York has its heroes. One man

pinocle winnings to his wife.
OEMS, n MAINE
ELECT GOVERNOR AND POSSIBLY
THE ENTIRE CONGRESSIONAL
DELEGATION.
GOVERNOR CARRIES BY 8,500
Next State Legislature May Also be
Democratic.—Republican Defeat
Charged to Insur
gency.
Portland, Maine. Maine went
Democratic. It elected Frederick W.
Plaisted, of Augusta, a Democrat, as
governor, upset the hitherto solid Re
publican congressional delegation in at
least two and possibly all four of the
districts, and to the surprise of the po
litical leaders, Democratic as well as
Republican, the returns indicate the
possibility that the next state legisla
ture will be Democratic. The senate*
Asher C. Hinds.
will surely have a Democratic majori
ty. The house complexion is in doubt.
Returns from all but 48 of the elec
tion districts of the state showed a
plurality for Plaisted for governor of
8,500.
The missing districts are nearly all
in remote parts of Aroostook county
and in outlying islands along the
coasts.
In the second district, which was
formerly represented by the late Nel
son M. Dingley, father of the Dingley
law, Daniel J. McGiilicuddy was elect
ed congressman by 3,000 over John P.
Swasey, the present incumbent, and
Congressman Edwin C. Burleigh, who
has rei/’esented the third district since
1892, was defeated by Samuel W.
Mould, another Democrat, by a small
margin. The result in the first and
fourth districts is much in doubt, al
though the indications were that Asher
•W. Hinds, Rep., had won over W. M.
Pennell, Dem., in the former and that
Congressman Fr&ik E. Guernsey, Rep.,
had been defeated in the latter by
George M. Hanson, Dem., by a small
vote.
His Plurality Large.
Colonel Plaistead, the governor-elect,
goes up to the capitol with a plurality
larger than that given two years ago
to his defeated Republican opponent,
Governor Bert M. Fernald, of Poland.
Colonel Plaistead ran for mayor of
Augusta five times and won four elec
tions. The Republican leaders are at
a loss to account for their overwhelm
ing defeat. The weather was perfect
and they offer no excuse on that line.
The issues were well understood and
most of the speakers had confined
themselves to state matters, scarcely
mentioning national affairs.
Governor Fernald’s administration
was stoutly defended against Demo
cratic criticism of extravagance, and
most of the voters were given an op
portunity of seeing and hearing the
candidate, while a few out-of-tlie-state
speakers, including Congressman Me-
Kinlay, of California, came there to
help.
Close political observers, however
early, heard mutterings, not loud, but
deep. The so-called “old guard” bad
to stand a lot of party criticism and
even the leaders were out of harmony
with a new element which had begun
to manifest itself, especially in the
western part of the state.
It was hoped among the backers of
the administration of Governor
Fernald, that this unrest would sub
side and much dependence was placed
on the old time loyalty of the farming
vote in the back country. But insur
gency was in the air. The rural voter
had been absorbing ideas out of the
state as well as in it.

FALLING ROCKS KILL
TEN WORKMEN ARE DEAD, NINE
INJURED IN ERIE RAILROAD
TUNNELS.
SOMEONE MADE A BLUNDER
Twenty-Eight Laborers Arc Caught In
Tubes Underneath Hundreds of
Tons of Brick and Mortar — Nine
Escape Uninjured.
Jersey City, N. J. —By the fall of
hundreds of tons of Palisade rock
through the broken roof of the old
Erie railroad trunnels ten workmen
were crushed to death Sunday and
nine others were seriously injured,
five of them Drobably fatally.
The aead and injured formed part
of a gang of twenty-eight hard rock
men who were removing the moun
tain of stone above the tunnels to
transform them into open “cuts” as
was recently completed on other
tracks adjacent. Somebody either
blundered in blasting which weakened
the brick roof of the tubes, or there
was an unsuspseted fault in the rock.
The Erie tunnels were driven
through the solid rock of the Palisades
about fifty-three years ago and round
ed with five courses of heavy brick,
mortared. Two months ago, after
three years’ hard w r ork, the Millard
Construction company completed the
opening of the passenger tunnels
now known as the Bergen cut. The
Erie company itself concluded to open
the freight tracks 0:1 its own account
and placed its own engineers and
workmen in charge.
West of the Hudson boulevard via
duct there was a mass of rock to cut
away about 110 feet deep down to the
brick walls of the tunnels and about
125 feet long. Working in three shifts
of eight hours each, the gangs bad
cut down to the tunnels for a dis
tance of more than 60 feet and they
had removed all the upper work to
within 30 feet of the brick below.
Twenty-eight men were employed in
cleaning up the debris left by the drill
ing and blasting when there came
first a crashing report, then a sway
ing and tossing of a soliJ rock, a
thunderous report like a park of ar
tillery and after that there was a
churning and tossing of men as first
the center rank and piece by piece
great chunks of rock, some weighing
tons, fell from the sides, grinding and
crushing as they struck.

ILLINOIS GOAL STRIKE ENDS
AGREEMENT REACHED BETWEEN
MINERS AND OPERATORS.
Practically Every Demand of Men Is
Granted—4o,ooo Workmen to
Resume Work.
Chicago. Forty-four thousand Illi
nois coal miners will resume work at
once after an idleness of more than
five months as a result of an agree
ment reached between the officials of
the mine workers and the Illinois Coal
Operators' association.
Practically every demand of the men
has been granted. A contract exend
ing up to April 1, 1912, was signed.
The average increase to the miners
in wages will amount to eight cents
per ton, or an aggregate of $4,000,000
annually. The installation of safety
appliances and general betterments
which the onerators agree to give the
men will increase the cost of putting
coal on the market nearly 12 cents
per ton.
Of the 72,000 miners who quit work
April 1, more than 28,000 already have
signed up and assume work. The bal
ance will begin active work so soon as
the mines can be pumped out and put
into condition for operation. It is
thought that by the middle of next
week every mine in the state will be in
full operation. Several are in condi
tion to start mining at once.
It is estimated that the strike has
caused a shortage of at least 20,000,-
f JO tons; a loss in wages amounting
to $15,J00,000, and a net loss to the
operators of nearly $10,000,000.

Sea.
Milwaukee. —Twenty-nine lives were
lost in Lake Michigan when the Pere
Marquette’s car ferry, No. 18, sank
from unknown cause twenty miles oft
Sheboygan, Wis., Friday.
It is declared one of the worst ma
rine disasters in the history of Lake
Michigan navigation. The boat was
valued at $400,000, and the cargo,
which included thirty-two loaded cars,
estimated to be worth $150,000.
At the sacrifice of two of her own
seamen, and after terrible hours of
struggle the steel car Pere Mar
quette No. 17, which went to the as
sistance of No. 18, reached this port
with three dead, and twenty-nine sur
vivors of the crew of her sister ship.
Twelve of the rescued were in one
of the ship’s boats, the remainder
were clinging to the wreckage or
floating about buffeted by the debris.
The catastrophe occurred approxi
mately thirty miles off from Port
Washington. No. 17, bound from Mil
waukee for Ludington, reached the
wreck just as the No. 18 sunk out of
sight. > Several miles away a lone
boat was floundering in the surge and
swell of the waves, and on all sides
were the shrieks and screams of the
poor wretches soaked through and
through with the almost ice-cold water
and gripped by the strong winds.
Only a few had time to dress.
The Pere Marquette No. 20, out
from Ludington bound for Milwaukee
and manned by a crew most of whom
come from the same city as those on
the sunken vessel, was the third craft
to reach there. Just prior to its ar
rival the fishing tug Tesler, out from

;,, j j |
THE PERE MARQUETTE.
Port Washington, had picked up six
dead, among them Capt. Kilty, which
were transferred to the No. 17 and
taken back to Ludington.
In marine circles it is believed that
the string of twenty-eight cars be
came loose as the ferry was buffeted
about and that the water rolled into
the vessel’s stern, which is wide open.
This seems plausible in view of the
fact that the sea was rolling from
the north, the most dangerous on
Lake Michigan, while the steamer was
heading southwest by south.
COL. I. L. ELLWOOD IS DEAD
Richest Man in Illinois Succumbs to
Illness of Paralytic Nature of
Two Months’ Duration.
Chicago.—Coy. Isaac L. Ell wood,
one of the most prominent figures in
the life of ’ Illinois since the
early '7os and the richest man In Illi
nois, died Sunday night at his resi
dence in De Kalb, 111., after an illness
of more than two months.
Since the death of his wife nine
weeks ago Colonel Ellwood had been
sinking rapidly and physicians at nn
time have even hoped for his recov
ery. The illness from which he was
suffering was of a paralytic nature
and attacked him a few days after
the funeral of Mrs. Ellwood.
Colonel Ellwood was a pioneer
manufacturer of barbed wire fencing,
and to the expansion of that industry
with the subdivision 01 the great
ranches of the west into farms, he
owes his fortune. Aside from his
wealth and his industrial activity,
Colonel Ellwood became one of the

his political and financial affiliations.

BROWNE FOUND NOT GUILTY
ILLINOIS LEGISLATOR FREEC OF
BRIBERY CHARGE.
Jury Out Over 21 Hours and Verdict
Is Greeted With Cheers—Emotion
Overcomes Defendant.
Chicago.—The jury in the second
trial of Lee O’Neil Browne, leader of
the minority in the Illinois legislature,
charged with bribing Representative
Charles A. White to vote for Senator
Lorimer, returned a verdict of not
guilty in the criminal court Friday.
In the first trial of Browne the jury
disagreed.
The speedy verdict was a surprise
to the many who had watched the
progress of the second trial and had
feared that a repetition of the tedious
deliberations of the first jury would
close the case. The verdict was re
turned before Judge Kersten after the
jury had deliberated a little over
twenty-one hours.
Altogether eight ballots were taken.
The first poll showed them 8 to 4
for acquittal and several ballots were
taken thereafter with the same re
sult. Then there was a slight change
to 9 to 3. Later the vote was 11 to 1,
and on the eighth poll the full 12-to-0
vote was recorded.
As the words "not guilty” fell from
tht clerk’s lips a cheer went up.
Scenes of confusion followed. It was
with difficulty that the bailiffs re
strained the crowd. It was then that
Browne jumped from his chair,
seized Attorney Erbstein around the
neck and they embraced each other.
A moment later Browne was torn
from his counsel by his friends. They
pushed him around the room in al
most a frenzy to offer their congratu
lations. Browne then tried to reach
the jury box to thank the jurors.
“I thank —” he began, but he did
not finish, his emotions overcoming
him. Tears ran down his face.
The second Browne trial started be
fore Judge Kersten August 1. It was
fought stubbornly by both sides
every moment and cost the county
and the interests back of the defend
ant many thousands of dollars.
Browne was indicted by a special
grand jury. May 6. The bribe was
said to have ben paid White at the
Briggs House, June 16, 1909, in ac
cordance with an agreement made
May 26, 1909.
STATE PRIMARIES’ RESULTS
La Follette in Wisconsin and Cnarles
E. Townsend in Michigan W ; n in
Senatorial Fight.
Milwaukee, Wis. United States
Senator Robert M. La Follette carried
Wisconsin at the recent primary elec
tion by an overwhelming majority
over Samuel A. Cook of Neenah. In Mil
waukee county the senior senator’s
plurality easily will reach beyond
8,000 and estimates are given of his
nomination over his opponent by a
vote of 5 to 1, a larger majority than
was anticipated.
Tnere is no doubt that La Follette
will have control of the candidates’
platform convention at Madison and
that he will have the next legislature
back of him. So big was b*s v ote
that it carried with it a large majority
of the legislative nominees. The La
Follette state ticket, headed by Fran
cis E. McGovern, also is nominated by
a safe majority.

Shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.
Many years ago, in consequence of
a commercial panic, there was a severe
run on a bank in South Wtiles, anti
the small farmers jostled each other
In crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, in
a fit of desperation, suddenly lie
thought him of an expedient. By his
directions a clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in a frying-pan, p. id them
over the counter to an anxious appli
cant. “Why, they’re quite hot!” said
the latter as he took them up. "Of
course,” was the reply; “what else
could you expect? They are only Just
out of the mold. We are coining them
by hundreds as fast as we can.”
"Coining them!” thought the simple
agriculturists; "then there is no fear
of the money running short!” With
this their confidence revived, the pan
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee’s Weight on Old Age.
When prominent men realize the in
jurious effects of coffee and the change
in hea h that Postum can bring, they
are gla« to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
In a Southern state says: “My moth
er, since her early childhood, war an
Inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for a number
of years and complained of that weak,
all over’ feeling and sick stomach.
“Some time ago I was making au of
ficial visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. I noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. I was ao
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, I bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
“I had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mother’s con
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
“I know Pcstum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
ily, but in a more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was a
victim of long standing.”
