f VOL. 4. ?^.___l______ WILEY TAKES STUMP FOR |H Terve Haute. Ind., Oct. 4.?Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former chief of the * Federal Bureau of Chemistry and govejgment pure food expert, made him debat"as a Democratic campaitpi speaker here last night. His speech was devoted largely to an atUck upon Colonel Roosevelt, who, he said, was falsely claiming credit for the passage of the pure food and drug act. He aauounced he would support Wilson and Marshall. "Read the high-sounding moralities of the Progressive platform," LU'. said the doctor, "and compare them with the actual performances of its master builder. They don't seem to consist. J cannot conceive of any more wicked and law-breaking performance. A beneficent law?passed In good faith by Congress?was mercilessly eviscerated and the disemboweled corpse was turned over to the Secretary of Agriculture for dissection. The-Secretary of Agriculture, inpalred by his trusties in crime, Solicitor MeCabe and Associate Dunlap^ attacked the carcass, and soon only the whitening bones of the poor food law remained aa mute witnesses of its existence." Declaring that he hid remained loyal to the Republican party for many years fn spite of his conviction that it woe "yearly becoming a "worshipper at the shrine of the dollar and less mindful of honesty In business aad the public health and welfare," Docter Wiley said: "1 now believe that the Republican party, as Hi ||| inwm cuimiiiuicu, I* BU cuinpieiv ly subjugated by the dollar, so permeated by the canker of big business * as Its only sod, that only disastrous defeat caa ever restore it to health. "In my own ease <he chief cause of breaking away from my lifelons political af&tlatlons Is directly due to the attitude of two Republican administrations, viz., those of RooseI velt and Taft, (o the food and drugs act. "Arrayed against this salutary st*t ute had keen formed the very worst elements of eomerclsliam that thie or any other country could produce. Debasers and mlsbranders of food* and drugs, seeking to poison the foods that keep US' well and debase the drugs that are given us when 111, for years had succeeded in blocking legislation. "Standing together were those ' dragging our foods to preserve them from decay and coloring them with poisonous dyes to make them seem fresh, those mixing cheap substitutes with foods and dpugs to keep up k their weight and volume and deceive and threaten the purchaser, those who, with cheap alcohol, simulated the. old and fragrant products of the vineyard and its distilling, who made beer of cheap sugars and wine of coal tar dyes, tanaing and saccharin, and| those who preyed on the imaginations1 of the laymen and sold them worth-1 h lew and harmful retnedfes. "During all this time no President of 'the United States and no Cabinet officer even said a favoring word for the enactment of this law?except on one or two occasions in a most perfuactory way. Mr. Roosevelt, in one of his messages, alluded to the matter [ In a 8|hort paragraph without accentuation. Tbe secretary of agriculture, on a few occasions in his recommendations ta the President, called attenL tion to the agitation going on. But the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture' and the Health Department of the city of Washington vqre active in their op[ position to the measure, fearing some Infringement on their own activities." ; ,f. L It is said that Oreat Britain has 't tnore women workers in proportion | ' to its population than any other country. There are 616,000 dreesmakera. "?- . . '?:?r?

JUDGE STEPHEN BRAGAW AN B0N0RT0 THE BENCH The gouthport Herald, one of the brightest papers In Eastern Carolina, in this week's issue pays the following high, but justly merited compliment to our distinguished townsman. Judge Stephen C. Bsagaw. The Herald snys: "Judge Bragaw's charge to the grand Jury was given very close attention by a crowd that packed every space of the courtroom and hallway as well. His Honor in ieflning the duties of the jorors was verv clear, concise, and convincing. There was no chance to miaunvle:*stand tils meaning. The Judge has a fine command of language, never hesitates for a word and possesses a pleasing voice that carries well. He Is impartial but fearless in his Judgments.

NOR' Fair T< ID'S DEATH l HAS LESSON 1JMIE Poor Billy Rand, the boy accidentally killed by hazing at the State Jniverslty. certainly died a. moat unleoeesary death, but we are going to earn a leaaon from it. Already there a lota of atrahge agitation for strinfent legislation along 'thin line, and t la an excellent movement. But he queation that naturally arises In he minds of many serious minded >eople is why wa do not direct leglsatlon toward sources that would lave more lives than the comparaive few that might be saved by prerentlng hazing. Take, for example, be preventable deaths of infants. Did It ever occur to you that Herod's daughter of the innocents was but i mere incident compared to the deitructlon of babies today? In the intlre world IB,000,000 helpless lablea die every year. During the a8t twenty-four hours not fewer h&n 40.000 have died, and the game hlng ia going to occur tomorrow. In he United States alone approxlmatey -1,000 babies die every day. In ?ur own State we lost last year beween 8,000 and 9,000 babies. Were , my of thom near or dear to you? *ext year that needless slaughter will probably be repeated. Will any I >f them be little ones near and dear I o you? ! Dr. Phelps, at the International 1 Congress of Hygiene and Demo- ] traphy at Washington last week, #e luoted as authority for the statenent that there is the heat reason or believing that at least 60 per cent. ?f our present Infant mortality is eadlly preventable. The main things leeded to accomplish this result are nore rue a as of educating the public. MUticularly the mothers and fathers, is well as those that will later be paenis; some common sense laws or rules and regulations regarding milk U md food, as well as flies and water; ind some means of keeping a care- ? lul record-of the births and deaths of ^ til Infants in tho State, in order that j ve may be better able to tell where hese preventable deaths of children tccur, and what causes them. Nor Is this true of infant daeths done. The same thing is true of our tigh preventable death rates from yphold fever, tuberculosa, malaria. d| nd other preventable dectha. In tther words, let's prcv-nt hazing. ^ rom a humanitarian standi clnt; but 'or the same reason let'B not forget he vastly greater number ol deaths B| hat we could prevent in other ways.

MATINEE 0N WEDNESDAYAND SATUDAY AT LYRIC There is tto (]uestion but what the matinee announcement given out by the management of the Lyric will be of interest to the many patrons of this place of amusement. The manager, who is always alert to please hiB patrons, announces that on Wednesday and Saturday of each week from 3 to 5, the Lyric will be open and exhibit the same pictures that will be shown that night. This is unquestionably a good move and will meet the approval of the many parents who desire to have their children study at night, also It gives them the same advantage on Saturdays and will avoid having them oat late at night. Possibly this announcement win be of interest to the eldsr class of people who like to see these pictures and don't like to some out at night; parents also have the advantage of tending their nurses with the children admitting them free of charge. ESTEEMED CITIZEN' INDISPOSED. Universal regret Is expressed over the reported illness of Mr. Suffolk I Miles, manager of the blacksmithing department of the Washington Buggy Company. Mr. Miles counts his friends by the score and there la no citizen in Washington who enjoys 'a wider circle of friends. His condition is *uch that he Is unable to attend to his business duties. All wish him a rapid recovery. ' N EV BAY STATE'S^ W V." Already Fifty Day sumed in The / This Second Tri Boston, Mass., Oct. 4.?The trial of the Daniel Blake Russell Identltj case In East Cambridge has nov passed its 50th day of actual proceedings, and the end Ib not yet it sight. This is the second trial of the famous case and is being conductei before a master appointed by tb? East Cambridge Superior Court. Th< first trial took place last winter it the Middlesex Probate Court and wat one of the longest and most sensational of the kind in the history ol American legal jurisprudence. Like the first trial, the present proceedings have been up to date enlivened with romantic features, surprises and sensations which would find difficulty of belief if appearing in a work of fiction. The Russell case is probably the moc notable identity case ever tried in no American court. It rivals in interest end resembles in many respects the famous Tlchbome case, v-hlch ran for 170 davr, befre Lor 1 Chief Justice Cockburn in England some thirty years ago. In the first trial Judge Lawton decided against "Dakota Dan." who claims to be Daniel Blake Russell, son of the late Daniel Russell of Mel rose, and who also claims bis share of the $500,000 estate now held hv iWlliam C. Russell, arlbther son of Daniel Russell. Apparently not In the I le ast discouraged over bis decision, the Dakota claimant went to work to j';ave the c<u? mopened and, tl.cngh ' Without funds or the help of counsel, be succeeded in securing another j trial of his case. Persona in daily attendance at the present bearing in the East Cain-1 bridge ceiirt bare been much impressed by the story told by "Dakota Dan" and the evidence of the witnesses who have testified in hio behalf. In bis fight for recognition the claimant has told on the stand, in a simple way and with remarkable memory, of the events which took place in the home which he says he left in Melrose a quarter of a century ago. For a time he lived the life of a tramp, getting from one part of the country to another as beet hemight. 1H> bas worked with circuses and as a deck hand, shod horses in blacksmith shops, and spent winters as a hand in lumber camps and mills, according to his story. The tale of bis wanderings and the vicissitudes of his life since 1885 has taken him in retrospect from the decks of Liverpool, where he paid his passage in | the steerage, to the w-oods of northMANAGER ROLLINS HOME FROM NORFOLK VIRGINIA Mr. Frank H Rollins, manager of the Havens Grain Mill. one of the largest of its kind Eastern Carolina, returned home last evening froYn Norfolk, where he went to attend the-Grain Deah-rs' National Association. which has been In session in that progressive ?ity for the pas. three days. Mr. Rollins speaks In the very highest terms of his trip and says that the citizens and business men of (Norfolk gave the visitors a royal I good time. Some of the country's best and energetic grain dealers were present. Not oniy were the business session* of ire rssociation profitable, but the many social functions tendered were er.jovnble and much enjoyed. The next meeting of the associnfioa is to meet in the City of New Orleans. Delegates from all parts ol the United States were psesant. PREPARATORY SERVICES.

Finally a desire to | i return to bis old home seized him 11 I 1 and he arrived in Melrose something 5 more than a year ago to find that the > man whom he claims as his father i had died and left an estate of $500,- 9 i 000 and a will in which was tbe pro vision that tbe long-missing son ' should share half the fortune In tbe ) event of his return. But ^e elder son, William C. Russell, in whose possession the estate was held, not only refused to surrender any portion of It. but positively denied tbe claims of relationship set up by the man from Dakota. To support his claim as Daniel Blake Russell a large number of witnesses have appeared at the present hearing to identify the claimant as the son of Daniel B. Russell. Of these, seme have known him for 40 and others for 25 *j?nr? ? -? ?-? ? intimately in many cases. and were acquainted with the peculiarities and cnaracteriBtic8 of bis youth.

Not the least remarkable feature of I the contest has been the part pulyed ,i I by the man called "Fresno Dan," who j I mysteriously appeared on the scene when the first trial of the ratee was near an end. "Fresno Dan" was tak|en into the home of William C.
