Chicago, Sept 3. —A special cable gram to The Tribune announces that Stensland, president of the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank, was captured to day in Tangier. How he Was Caught. Stensland was arrested by a Trib' une representative and Assistant State Attorney Olzen, of Chicago, in an Ehglish postoffice. Stensland agreed to return peaceably. The Stensland despatch says, he chose Morocco as a permanent resf dence, because there is no extradition treaty with that country. The Sultan at Fez, however, will do anything for President Roosevelt. The matter of throwing a man in jail and keeping him there indefinitely is so small a request that it is granted before it is asked. Stensland had $12,000 in a Tangier bank. Steps have been taken to tie this! money up. It was the old story of a woman' scorned that Jed to the finding of Stensland's trial. One of his numerous | friends who thought she had been shabbily treated put the Tribune in 1 possession of the first hint as to the fugitive's whereabouts. He fled from Chicago Sunday July 12, went to New York, thence to Liverpool, Gibraltar and Tangier. BRYAN TO VISIT CHICAGO. Brilliant Reception Prepared For Mr. Bryan in Chicago.

Charlotte. N. C Dear Sir: How did, you ge your business? we'll tell you how we got ours. You sell shoes, we make paint; perhaps we can do a good turn to our selves, you and we, by swapping ex periences. We began 152 years ago in a little shop a few-minutes walk from where we are now; a great many things have happened, we don't remember them all. We made as good paint as we could and learned to make better. We are the oldest now; we don't know whether we had any teacher or not; it's so long ago; if we had, he's gone and forgotten. We should have been forgotten, if we hadn't made good paint and friends. You buy your shoes; you have an ad vantage in that; if you make a mis take, you can stop it quick; if you make a hit, you can push it quick. We've had to go slow; it's hard to pick-out one's own mistakes, and noth ing but fun to correct the mistakes of others. You know where to go for leather that keeps its shape, feels good, looks new, and wears a long time. What a comfort it is to be comfortable from making one's customers comfortable! We also have a unique advantage— unique, you know, means that nobody else has anything like it. We make a strong paint that takes less gallons, saves half the cost of painting your house, and it's like that leather of yours for wear. It is all paint and the strongest of paint. Paint is uusally adulterated and weak. We're very old, but" 1 we make young paint! one gallon is better than two, if it has the stuff in it: Yours truly, F W DEVOE and Co. New York. P. S. F. B.

'*■« B TB KELP Statcsville, Sept 4.—That Congress man Blackburn expects to derive much benefit from the speech which Secretary Shaw will deliver here, 11th inst. is the opinion of the po litical "knowing ones" hereabouts. It is believed by many that Mr. Shaw s coming was designed from the be ginning to help the campaign of the spectacular congressman from "De Ate." There is no question that B. Spencer is sadly in need of assistance from some quarter. His refusal to meet Hackett in joint discussion has killed a good part cf the enthusiasm the representative's followers have had, and has shaken their confidence in the "Drummer Boy's 1 ' courage and fibility. How Spencer has managed !to keep alive thus far, the mountain eers* belief that he is not afraid of . man or devil, is passing strange. During the past two or three weeks Dick Hackett has been speaking at the 1 school houses in this and ad joining counties, and his honest, elo quent talks to "the boys" have put •great enthusiasm into the Demo cratic campaign. The people be lieve in "Dick," as he is almost uni versally called in the western coun ties, and many prominent Republi cans in Wilkes county are declaring for him through the Wilkesboro pa pers. The radical paper published there (The Patriot) endeavors to be little the Republicanism and stand ing of these "Hackett Republicans," but their number is constantly in creasing and includes many steadfast Republicans who have been honored by their party with positions of trust and responsibility. If the Democrats do their duty Hackett should win by at least 2,000 majority, and I do not think his ma jority will flail below a thousand. Col. H. C. Cowles, clerk of the Federal Court here, and at Charlotte, would only express the opinion that the race "will be close." Col. Cowles stated that the effect Secretary Shaw's speech would have on the 1 congressional campaign would, of ! course, depend largely upon the char acter of the speech. Almost everybody believes that 1 judge Furches was induced to make 1 the race for the State senate in Iredell solely for the purpose of as sisting Blackburn. The judge has 1 hung himself on to an issue that is all but dead, and nobody believes 1 that he will be able to put any life into the carcas. I refer to his oppo sition to sundry parts of the present liquor law. The personal popularity of Mr. Furches and the great respect the people generally have for him, are : expected by the radicals to carry his, and incidentally, Blackburn's vote a trifle higher than the Repub lican vote usually gets in this county. However, the speech which Senator Bailey will make here this falL is expected to more than offset the effect of Shaw's effort and Demo crats do not believe Judge Furches' candidacy will swell Blackburn's vote to any appreciable extent. It is pretty safe to say, so far as things political may be safe, that the Eighth Congressional District will be represented in the next Congress by Richard N. Hackctt, of Wilkes coun ty. F. A. H.
