The town of Mont&uban, France, *u proud of bis bell tower. It was built by a rich citizen In the all teenth century and named for him tb*e bel fry of Lautler, nearly 100 feet tall and 26 feet square; the great bell on its top has called the people to all the 'mportant events In the town's history. Recently it sounded Its own death note. The town began to tremble and the vibration of the top was enough to set the hell ringing, warning all thoee near It to escape. In a few sec onds the massive tower was a heap of dust and broken stones. While net so celebrated as the Cam panile of Venice, whloh met the same fate a few years ago. It was as dear to Montauban, and the town mourns Its destruction. The Power of Right. As I myself look at It, there Is no fault nor folly of my life—and both have been many and great—that does not rlss up against me, and take away my Joy, and shorten my power of pbssosslon of sight, of understand ing And every past effort of my life, every gleam of righteousness or good In it, la with me now, to help me in my grasp of this art and Its vision. So far as I can rsjoloa In or Interpret either, my power Is owed to what of right there Is In me. I dare to say It, that, because through all my Ufa I have desired good and not evil; because I have b"«n kind to many; have wished to bo land to all; have willfully injured Ju ne, and because I have loved much, and not selfishly; thersfore, ths morn ing light Is yet visible to me on those hills, and you who read may trust my thought and word In suoh work as I hare to do for you, and you will be glad afterward that you have trusted in them.—Ruskln. “On* Touch of Nature/* He was very black and very ragged and dirty, and he wae being slowly pulled up on top of a granite blook to the rtfll uncompleted root of the big office building.

MEXICANS MAD OVER LYNCHING Anti-American Riots Continue—Th« Diplomat’s Life May ©e In Danger Troops Called Out to Suppress Di* order-—More Trouble Reared. An Associated Press dispatch this afternoon from the City of Mexico says there has been no further trouble there. It is not Known whether the message was censored. Ran Antonio, Tex., Nov. 11.—Rioters in the City of Mexico made an attempt to assassinate Henry Lane Wilson, the American ambassador to Mexico. This Information comes in a telegram from Laredo, Tex., on the Mexican frontier. The attempt on the diplomat's life is the outgrowth of the recent anti American outbreak. The rioting was due to the lynching of a Mexican in a Texas town a few days ago. The report came from sources con sidered reliable. The attempt on the life of the ambassador was made early in the afternoon. The attack was the culmination of an anti-American demonstration in which two Mexican students and a Mexican onlooker were killed by the police in an attempt to preserve order. Further bitter feeling was aroused as a result of these fatalities and more trouble was expected with the break of day. On account of a rigorous censorship reports reaching here are meager.

Unofficial returns have been received from 90 counties, and estimates based on incomplete returns from 10 counties give the governor an evt-n 14,000 over Hodges in the 100 of the 105 counties of the state. The Socialists will cast about 15,000 votes for Otto Stallard for governor, and the Prohibitionists are expected to poll a total of 4,000. Additional returns have been re ceived on the legislature and these in dicate that the house of represent atives will be Republican by a small majority.

BUYING OF SOAP CAUSED STRIKE One of the Causes of Garment Work era Trouble In Chicago—Is Unorganized Labor. Chicago, Nov. 11.—Payment for soap used in certain shop workrooms by those using the soap is one of the grievances of garment workers cited in a report of Prof. George H. Mead iw the ciii&eno wnnulttsc, appointed to study the strike and its causes. The garment workers, 40,000 of whom are on strike here, are mostly foreigners without organization, ac cording to the report. The present strike, the report finds, was not due to the agitation of union leaders, but was a spontaneous objection to conditions. FORTUNES IN MUSKRAT FURS Delaware Trapper* Richer by Thou sands of Dollare This Year— Animals Getting Scarcer. Milford, Del.—The trappers’ season this year was marked by the highest prices paid for furs in years. The sea son has not seen as many muskrats caught as In previous years, on ac count of the loe keeping the marshes closed nearly all winter, but the high prices have made up for the small number caught, and Walter Bennett, one buyer, has so far this season paid out to trappers nearly $5,000, having handled 5,000 muskrat bides, 200 rac coon hides, 1,000 mink hides, 300 opos sum, 12 otters and 3,000 rabbits. An other buyer, Thad Windsor, has paid out about $3,000. One trapper Is re puted to have made $1,000 during the season, which lasts from November to March. The pelta are caught along the Del aware marshes and eastern part of Sussex county, some trappers making as high as $50 In one day. Probably the most successful of all of the trap pers, considering the time she gives to the work, Is Mrs. James Jones of Cove Neck who expects to make about $500 this year.

COLORADO WILL TRY INITIATIVE Denver Gives Democrats 12,000—Bal ance of State 3,000—Gov, Sha froth is Re-elected. Dcnvsr, Nov. 11.—John F. Shafroth, Democrat, has been re-elected gov ernor of Colorado by a plurality esti mated as high as IS,000. He has car ried Denver county by at least 12,000, and his party leaders claim that he also has carried the outside counties by at least 3,000. The Republican state chairman conceded Shafroth's elec tion. The proposal to submit a con stitutional amendment for Initiative and referendum has carried two to one. IN TIE NEXT NOISE THE DEMOCRATS WILLL HAVE A MAJORITY OF FIFTY TWO. WILL STRENGTH BE UNVVEILDY Tariff Legislation is Blamed for Over throw of Republicans—New Congress Will Meet in December, 1911—One Socialist From Wisconsin. Chicago, Nov. 11.—When the Sixty second congress Is convoked on the First Monday of December 1911 If not called sooner In extraordinary session the Democrats will have 221 members; the Republicans 1G9 members. The Socialists will have one mem ber, provided the official count In the Fifth Wisconsin district does not seat Henry Oochems, Republican, In the place of Victor Herger, Socialist. Tho 1 rv- r\r> ro 11 /> malnrltv will hA at least a sound working majority and by Borne members believed to be so large It will be unwieldy. The Repub lican had a majority of 46 most of the time in the present congress and by some of the standpat leaders at least the weight of that majority is blamed for Insurgency. The disruption of the party and Tuesday’s defeat at the polls. The creation of the above condi tions was of the results of Tuesday's election. The figures may be changed -omewhat in districts where the count is close, as in the Third Illinois—but r-.ich slight changes as are made will not materially alter the conditions. And there were other victories. Were Other Victories. Among them: The Democrats elect ed 13 of the 26 of the governors chosen and three of those governors were elected on the Southern states. The Republicans elected 13 governors giving them Iowa. The Machine Demolished. The most important result of all however, politically speaking was that the Republican machine, that splendid organization the late Senator Hanna built up for the election of William McKinley in 1896, was demolished. | It worked beautifully for 14 years and then for the lack of proper repairs when repairs were needed went all to pieces in one day. With the National machine wrent state and county machines, in New York, Indiana, New Jersey, Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, almost everywhere. And even the smooth running Penrose brand of machine in Pennsylvania had j several of its bearing jarred loose. Bummed up the general result was simply a complete overthrow of Re J publicanistn whether, reactionary, in 1 surgent, progressive, Taft, Roosevelt, Cannon, Cummins or Aldrich. The tariff act was the big cause, by agreement. There was no question raised but that the tariff issue turned the election again, t the Republicans j in every state and congressional dis I trict. There were local causes and is sues to help in every state and in | many districts, but in all there was | the tariff question. Coming to the effects of the elec I tlons it means, first of all, a complete reorganization of the Nation house of representatives with Cannonism left out. The new congress will not meet In regular session until the first Mon day in December next year, as the present congress will hold the short session beginning the first Monday in ! December this year. ! PLANT THRIVES ON FLIES Little Weed, Grown In England, Helps In Work of Ridding Homes of Peet. In England there grows a little red 1 dish leaved, odd-looking plant known as sundew. It la but an Inconspicu ous weed, and yet literary and scien tific honors have been heaped upon It The leaf la round and flat, and la covered by a number of small red glands, which act as the attractive advertisement to the misguided In sects. Their knobby ends are covered with a glutinous secretion, which j glletens like honey In the sunlight. and so gains for the plant Its common ; English name. But the moment a hapless fly, attracted by hopes of jneat or nectar, settles quietly In 1U midst, on hospitable thoughts Intent, the viscid liquid holds him tight Immedi ately, and clogs his legs and wings, so | that he U snared exactly aa a sparrow Is snared in birdlime. Then the leaf closes over him slow ly but surely, and crushes him by folding Its edges Inward gradually to ward the center. The fly often lingers long with Ineffectual struggles, while the cruel, crawling leaf pours forth a digestive fluid—a vegetable gastric Juice, as It were—and dissolves him alive piecemeal.

EXCESS PRICES LAID TO TARIFF Fuller Returns Make Democratic Sue ceso More Sweeping—Republican Loss Waa General—What President Taft Feared—Leaders Go Down. Washington, Nov. 11.—More com plete returns from the elections serve to emphasize rather than diminish the Democralc landslide. There Is hardly a section of the entire nation where the Republican vote did not slump notably and in many cases disastrous ly. The Sixty-second congress will be Democratic by a clear working ma jority, w’hlie in the United States sen ate the Republicans will have only a scant lead over their opponents Four influential Eastern states. New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey, take their places at the head of the procession, which Demo cratic governors and strong Demo cratic representation In their legisla tures. Ohio too, Is Democratic. The two great leaders of the Re publican party, Taft and Roosevelt, alike met defeat in their own states. What President Taft Dreaded. President Taft finds himself face to face with the one danger which he has most dreaded and which he be sought the Republican voters of the Nation to prevent—a hostile house of representatives to nullify what re mains of his legislative program. A Democratic house, President Taft has iwinted out, will paralyze the adminis I il. 3 1. - .. ni.i4«r 1 /Mr t cl o linn > IHUUII IIUU 1UUliu; -O-— impossible. On the other hand, the effectiveness of the Democratic ma jorlty In the lower house will be large ly nullified by the hold which the Re publicans still retain in the senate. Leaders Lost at Home. A striking feature of the voting throughout the country was the re pudiation of Republican leaders in their own home. Vice-President Sher man’s home town, Utica, went Demo cratic by several hundred. Sereno E. Payne’s home city, Auburn, de feated him by 400 votes, although the rural districts roundabout came to his rescue and made his seat secure for another term. In New York city Con gressman William S. Bennet was beaten by Henry George, Jr., and Herbert Parsons by Jefferson M. Levy. Congressman .1. Bloat Fassett of El mira, who went down to defeat In 1891, as a Republican candidate for governor, lost his seat in the lower house, and Hamilton Kish was defeat ed for re-election as the Republican candidate in the Twenty-first New York congressional district. Another unusual feature of the vot ing in the East was the fact that in a majority of the big cities the Repub licans gained while they lost in the country. One of the most astonishing over turns was in the rockrlbbed Republi can state of Massachusetts, where Eugene M. Foss, Democrat, has a ma jority of 30,000. The Massachusetts legislature is Republican and will elect Senator Lodge. In New Jersey, Dr. W’oodrow Wll son, who resigned the presidency ol Princeton university to take up the work of the campaign, was swept intc the governor’s chair by 20,000 votes carrying with him a Democratic ma Jority in the joint session of the legis lature and insuring a Democratic suc cessor to Senator John Kean. Most of New Jersey’s ten congressmen will sit with the Democratic party in the Sixty-second congress. First in 22 Years. Connecticut has elected a Demo cratic governor for the first time since 1893, In the person of Judge Simeor E. Baldwin. The rest of the state of ficials will be Republican. The Republicans lost heavily ir Rhode Island, re-electing Gov. Aram J. Pothler by a scant 1,200 votes, at against his plurality of about 12,000 1e the last election. Senator Aldrich’s successor will be a Republican. New Hampshire’s new governor is Robert P. Ilass, Republican, who W’ot the nomination on a progressive niat form. Diminished Republican plurali ties were the rule throughout the state. Pennsylvania elected John K. Tener the straight Republican candidate, by a reduced plurality. Berry, Democrat running on the Keystone Indepeadenl ticket, led him a hard fight all along the line. Tennessee elected a fusion eandl date, Ben W. Hooper, by a generous margin; Michigan was overwhelming ly in favor of Charles S. Osborn, the Republican nominee, while Wlsconslr chose Frank E. McGovern, Republi can, by a reduced plurality. Chinese Traits. The Chinese are orderly, law abld lr" and well-behaved; they have a strong sense of right and Justice—are fair minded; they are reliable In com mercial dealings—pay their debts and keep their agreements, whether verbal or written; they are dutiful to parents, fond of cuildren and mindful of eti quette and punctilious about returning courtesies or favors; they are respect ful to elders and superiors; they honor and respect character and Intellectual ability, and do not recognise an aris tocracy of wealth. This list might be largely extended, but It Is enough to show what I have undertaken to show —that China has not by any means to seek abroad all the requisites for na tional greatness, and popular welfare; some of the most Important are here already.—Address to Students at St John's College, Shanghai.

THE IOWA DEMOCRATS GAI CONGRESSMAN Gov. Carroll, Republican, Win* Out by About 10,000—Heavy Republi can Majorities Greatly Reduced. Des Moines, la., Nov. 11—In the election In Iowa two Democratic con gressmen were grown where only one grew before. Otherwise the political complexion of the state remains un changed. save that the big Republican majorities of other years were all but wiped out. The governorship was in doubt at 3ne time. Early returns Indicated :he election of Claude R. Porter, the Democratic candidate, but when the country vote began to arrive, Gov. Carroll showed steady gains. With, re turns in from 85 out of 93 counties, the governor's plurality is estimated it from 10,000 to 13,000. The counties dill unreported, if anything, will aug ment this showing. The remainder of the Republican state ticket was elect ed, as previously reported. The election of I. S. Pepper, Demo crat to congress from the Second dis trict, was expected, but the defeat of Congressman Gilbert N. Haugen, "pro gressive” Republican, by the Demo cratic candidate, D. D. Murphy, by something over 600 came as a sur prise. Haugen's friends knew he had ii fight on his hands, but did not sus I i>ect its seriousness. The largest plurality in the con gressional election was given to Con gressman Pickett, of the Third dis trict, who received 5,000 votes more than his Democratic opponent. He is allied with the "progressive” wing of the party. Walter I. Smith, a mem ber of the Cannon rules committee and an aspirant to the speakership, was re-elected in the Ninth district by a very small majority. Other Republi can congressional pluralities range 'rom 2,000 to 3.500. \ PHYSICIAN’S DIAGNOSIS OF KIDNEY TROUBLE. A Seemingly Common Disease which Becomes Fatal through Neglect and which May Be Readily Cured by Prompt At tention. More than two-thirds of the annual feath rate, physicians cli.im, is directly raceable to kidney disorders. Interested by this remarkable asser ion and desiring to acquire a better un derstanding of the origin of the disease prominent physician was recently in terviewed as to the symptoms of such troubles. "To what do you attribute the great destructiveness of kidney disease?” was isked. "The hold which the disease gains in ;he body before the victim becomes aware ;f his true condition, and the rapidity with which it eats its way into the vital organs.” "Would not the proverbial ‘ounce of prevention’ check the progress of the disease?” "There is no doubt of it. The trouble is that victims of this disease mistake the symptoms for some trifling ailment In the stomach or bowels; therefore they do nothing to arrest the course of the disease until it is well advanced.” " What istheoriginof kidney trouble?” "Almost invariably bad digestion, fol .owed by torpid liver and a constipated habit.” "What are the symptoms?” "Headache, dizzy spells, sluggish brain, restless nights, pale or sallow skin, bad breath, lack of appetite, heart burn, sour belching, backache or tender ness over the kidneys, nervous weak ness, dark rings around the eyes, tired feeling, too much or too little urine, and sediment in urine.” ITS EFFECT ON THE HEART. “In what way is the heart affected from kidney trouble?” “In all cases the heart is disturbed, though in many instances the palpita tion does not become alarming until the disease has advanced to a serious point. A severe heart throbbing and nervous trembling is noticeable, especially after a little bodily exercise; the victim fre quently imagines he has heart disease.” HOW TO CURE IT. “What is the proper course of treat ment for kidney disease?” “First, to get rid of uric acid and other poisons in the system. This can be done oy stimulating the bladder and bowels so that they will act more freely. The suffering kidneys must be strengthened, the liver and stomach toned up and the digestion improved.” Prickly Ash Bitters is a remedy that answers these requirements completely. It is not only a system tonic and regu lator, but its healing and restorative in fluence will build up the weakened kid neys and urge them to a better perform ance of their duties. It gives strength ind tone to the liver, stomach and heart and promotes harmony of action through out the body. Burr, village blacksmith and respected citizen of Starks, La., nays: “I was troubled with kidney and liver disorder for 18 years. 1 was in continual misery until I began taking Prickly Ash Bitters which has entirely cured me, and I am now a strong, healthy and hearty man. I give It to my wife and four children and they are In the best of health, too. I feel that Prickly Ash Bitlcr* ,he best remedy on earth and that everybody should keep a bottle at home.’' Get the genuine with the figure “3” in red on front laliel. Sold by druggists. Trice $1.00.
