THE TURKS RETREAT TO LAST FORTIFICATIONS OUT SIDE THE CAPITAL. PORTE APPEALS TO POWERS — A Bulletin Is Issued Practically Ad mitting Defeat and Asking for Intervention. / Constantinople—The Turkish army is retreating to the last line of fortifi cations outside the capital. This was announced in the first bulletin admit I ting defeat in the great battle, which S the government issued. The porte has applied to the pow ers for mediation with a view to the cessation of hostilities, and for the negotiation of peace. Application has been made to the embassies here and by circular to the Ottoman represen tatives in the Kuropean capitals. The fighting on Saturday south of Lule Burgas was of the most murder ous character. The Turks offered a splendid resistance, but were finally ■ overwhelmed by the Bulgarian artil | lery fire. This was terrific and com pelled the Turks to withdraw to the : last lines of Tchatalja. There the ! Turkish troops intend to make a su preme effort to save the capital. Reports place the Turkish loss at more than 20,000 killed and wounded. The following bulletin has been is sued by the Porte: "The fortunes of war are variable and it is not always possible to be successful on all sides. A people who accepts war must submit with resig nation to all its consequences. To overlook This obligation is to fail in one's duty. Consequently, while it would be unwise to unnecessarily be proud over victories, it likewise would be incorrect to be alarmed at want of success. "For instance, in the present war with the four federated states the im perial troops are defending themselves with success in the environs of Scu tari and Janina. but the eastern army in the neighborhood of Visa and Lule Bufgas felt obliged to retire to the i lines of defense at Tchatalja. In | order to facilitate a successful de fense it has naturally been decided to avert all efforts to safeguard the in terests of the fatherland." Last Appeal by Roosevelt. Oyster Bay. N. Y.—At the end of the hardest campaign of his career in i politics, Colonel Roosevelt Sunday made a final appeal to the voters of the country on behalf of the progres t sive ticket.

JAMES SCHOOLCRAFT SHERMAN. VICE-PRESIDENT ! 1 Succumbs to Uremic Poisoning, Caused by Bright's Disease, i __ FAMILY IS AT BEDSIDE _____________ t I Deceased Played Conspicuous Part in Councils of Republican Party— Was Member of Congress 21 Years. Utica, X. Y., Oct. 31.—After a long j illness Janies Schoolcraft Sherman, vice-president of the United States, died in this city at 9:42 o'clock Wed nesday night of uremic poisoning j caused by Bright's disease. He had been sinking since early ; morning, and it was realised that death was a question only of a few hours. There was slight relief shortly after seven o'clock, caused by an apparent Improvement in the condition of the kidneys, but it did not prove real . or lasting, and at best gave only tern porary hope. Temperature Jumps to 106. At nine o'clock the patient's temper- i ature jumped to 106. From that time ! his condition rapidly passed from bad to worse until the end. Mr. Sherman was unconscious when the end came, and had been In that condition for several hours. All the members of the Immediate family were witnesses to the final 6cene. In addition to Mrs. Sherman there i were In the death chamber their three sons. Sherrill. Richard U. and Thomas j H. Sherman, and their respective I wives: R. M. and Sanford Sherman, : brothers of Mr. Sherman, and Mrs. L. : B. Moore and Mrs. H. J. Cookinham. sisters of Mr. Sherman. Born ax unca. n. t , ucl ism. James Schoolcraft Sherman was born In Utica. X. Y-, on October 24. j 1%55. His parents were Richard U. and ! Mary Frances Sherman, both of Eng lish descent. Richard U. Sherman was a journalist by profession. He established the Utica Morning Herald and later, when politics and public of fice became his principal concern, he wrote Washington letters for Xew ' York papers, in which he praised Ros coe Conkling. who lived in Utica. Vice-President Sherman attended the public schools of Utica and in 1 ; 1S78 was graduated from Hamilton col lege. which is in a suburb of that city. Tvo vears later he was admitted to : the bar and he continued to practice ntil the beginning of the year of 1907. Father Was a Democrat. Although his father had been a strong Democrat, Mr. Sherman allied himself at the age of twenty-two with the Republican party. His rise in its tanks was steady. In 18S3 he became Oneida county chairman and one year ; la.er he was elected mayor, at the age I r' •—■— *—*-«» " ss the youngest mayor Utica ever had. ... ___ -ai career began in i 1SST and lasted, with one year's excep tion. until he ran for vice-president with Taft In 190S. Three times he served as a chairman of state con ventions. and he has been "spoken of" in connection with almost every im portant political post since 1900. In the house Sherman served as chairman of the committee on rail ways and canals, of the committee on Indian affairs and of the committee on rules, all-powerful in its influence. The part Sherman played in the na tional councils of the Republican party was more felt than observed, but it was always of highest import ance. He was invariably consulted in the mapping out of national cam paigns. Was Married In 1881. The vice-president's marriage to Miss Carrie Pabcock of East Orange. X. J.. granddaughter of CoL Eliakim Sherrill, a noted Whig leader in Xew York in the days of Henry Clay, took place in 1SS1. His children are Sherrill, a banker: Richard Hugh, a Hamilton college mathematics professor, and Thomas M., an official in one of his father’s companies—all married and residents of Utica. Sherman was not long in congress before he was recognized as one of the really influential men in the na tional legislature. From the begin ning he was one of the most popular men in Washington, with a host of personal friends even among the Democrats. A friend of all the men powerful in his party, his appoint ments during his eighteen years as congressman were numerous. He was closely allied with Speaker Cannon, and once he tried to get the speaker ship himself—when Reed retired. A western combination prevented his election, however. Sherman stood next to Speaker Reed in his grasp of par liamentary law. Requested to Stay in Congress. When defeated for the speakership, Sherman was offered the position of secretary of the senate, but was com pelled to decline because of the ur gent request of his townsmen that he continue to represent them in con gress. This action of his townsmen occurred a second time, when Mc Kinley offered to make him general appraiser of the port of New York Mass meetings were held in Utica and great gatherings sent delegates to him to beg him to remain in congress as their representative. So he de clined this place and stayed in con gress. Will Not Affect Election. New York. Oct 31.—The death ol Vice-President Sherman will hare no effect on the election. The Taft elec tors, in case of a Taft victory at the polls next Tnesday. will elect a vice president. The selection will probably be made by the Republican national committee, in case the Republican ticket wins. Disregarding the outcome of the election the country will have no vice president up to March 1, 1P13. owing to the death of Mr. Sherman, as the Constitution makes no provision for a successor to the vicepresident. At present there is no president pro tempore of the senate, the position formerly held by Senator William P Frye of Maine, the Republicans In the senate having failed to agree upon a successor. Lenient Justice. "But look here, judge.” protested Willoughby, "how could 1 know about your regulations? I didn’t see a sign all the way over from Yarrowby to Rockville." ’’They s suthin’ in that” said the judge, "so I’ll let ye off for costs. Thutty dollars, please." “Thir ty dollars?" echoed Willoughby. "How do you figure out the costs at thirty dollars, I’d like to know?” "Why, it’ll cost all o’ that, mister, to heY them signs painted an' sot up," said the ! judge.—Harper's Weekly. Practical Electric Waiter. An Australian has invented an elec tric waiter for hotels and restaurants, operated by the customer seated at his table. A wooden frame holding the menu-card is fitted with push but tons opposite each item, and "press ing the button” rings a bell in the kitchen and displays the order and the table number. The kitchen ap paratus also prints a check the orig inal of which comes to the customer, with a duplicate on an endless tape. This device has been in successful use in New Zealand. Customers Were Trusted. Among the humblest of shopkeepers In Cardiff there is a confidence in their poor customers quite unknown in different circles. The proprietress of a small shop stood on a corner gossiping and a lad approached. "Please, Mrs. -he announced. we have been kicking your counter for ten minutes. Mother wants a pound of soap.” “Tell mother.” was the re ply. "to take what she wants and put the coppers In the saucer nnder the counter."—Cardiff Western Mail. Back to the Simple Life. Dr. Harvey Wiley, rormer gfevern ment chemist, recently told the mem bers of a woman's club to give their guests a bowl of mush and milk, and not the thing called a modern dinner; also that they should learn the nutri tive value of food and that they would find that it will not cost half aa mnch to live as does now. The need of the age is to get back to the sim ple life, reflects the New Orleans Pic ayune. and It is also true that Ameri cans waste as much food in a year as would feed twice as maty people. FACTORY OWNERS WILL ORGANIZE CONVENTION OF NEBRASKA MAN UFACTURERS TO BE HELD IN OMAHA NOV. 14 AND 15. CANDIDATES ENDORSE PLAN Large Attendance Expected at Omaha Meeting Which Will Have Splen did Program. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 31— Manufac turers of Nebraska will meet in con vention at Omaha November 14 and 15, for the purpose of organizing a state association which will have for its purpose the protection of the in terests of manufacturers and the up building of the state. The call for the meeting has been sent out by the special convention committee appointed by the Omaha Manufacturers Association and a pro gram is now being arranged that will bring to Omaha for that occasion the most attractive speakers obtainable. When first proposed, the organiza tion of a state manufacturers associa tion met with universal approval among factory owners and now both ! candidates for governor are openly endorsing the move as one in the right direction. Governor Aldrich said yesterday: "The contemplated organization of manufacturers is a step that should have been taken a long time ago. Their organization will be a potent factor in de | veloping the resources of our state and will be a powerful aid in I working out the colonization scheme I have in mind. Also it w ill unite the forces of Nebraska that have been in : different and inactive in times past” A large attendance is expected at the convention and preparations are now being made by Omaha hotel keepers to accommodate the visitors, as every manufacturer heard from on the subject of a state organization has approved the plan and has said he will attend the convention. The pur poses of the organization are to prop erly exploit the state and its re sources. to firmly establish Nebras ka-made goods in the markets of the world, to bring about equitably adjust ments of freight rates, and to con sider legislation and other matters that directly affect the manufacturers of the state. At a special meeting of tbe conven tion committee held in Omaha Wed nesday tentative plans for the pro gram were made and a sub-committee on organization appointed by F. 1. Ellick. chairman. This committee is composed of C. B. Towle, J» H. Harp ham and W. C. Shinn of Lincoln, Ne braska. Senator John H. Moreheed. In speaking of the proposed organization said recently that he would gladly co operate with such an organization if he should become chief executive of the state. Some of the topics to be discussed at the convention will be: Safeguard ing employes, fire waste, workmen's compensation. Blue Sky law, trans portation. development of Nebraska, advertisement of Nebraska, and mar ket for Nebraska-made goods. Tbe committee which is planning the convention is composed of manu facturers throughout the state. F. I. Ellick of Omaha is chairman. Other members of the committee are: C. L.

IBACKACHE“GETS ON THE NERVES” Many who suffer from backache and weak kidneys are unnaturally irritable, fretful and nervous. Not only does constant backache "get on the nerves", but bad kidneys fail to eliminate all the uric acid from the system, and uric acid Irritates the nerves, keeping you “on edge" and causing rheumatic, neuralgic pains. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure these ills by curing the kidneys. Here's proof: r A California Case: Mrs. E. Walsh. 1649 Tenth Avenue. San Francisco.

NEITHER HAYSEED NOR ANGEL But There Need Be Little Question That Young Lady Had Much ingenuity. Across the line on the Kansas side i where the study of agriculture is compulsory, one of the high school girls took home her monthly report card and proudly announced: “I took the highest grade In the class in history, English literature and German.” “That's all very well.” replied her father, critically examining the card, “but how about this grade in agricul ture?” “Oh. well,” explained the daughter. "I'm no hayseed!” A little farther down a deportment grade, not altogether satisfactory, ap peared. “And how do you account for this grade ir, deportment?” he inquired. “I'm no bloomin’ angel, either," she replied.—Kansas City Star. Fond Memories. “Baggs is such an ugly man, Miss Prettyface, that I cannot unders^nd why he seems to interest you so.” "Of course, ycu can’t, but with his dcgged expression and his pug nose, he reminds me so much of my pet terrier.” Too Much of a Good Thing. “I was very happy,” said the pro fessor. "when, after years of wooing, she finally said. ‘Yes.’ ” "But why did you break tHe en ! gagement so soon after?” asked his friend. "Man. it was she that dissolved it.” “Really?” said the friend. "How did that happen?" "It was due to my accursed absent i mindedness. When, a few days later, I called at her home, I again asked ( her to marry me.”—Youth’s Compan ion. No Scabs.

An Ohio woman was almost dis tracted with coffee dyspepsia and heart trouble. Like thousands of others, the drug —caffeine—in coffee was slowly but steadily undermining her nervous system and interfering with natural digestion of food. (Tea is just as in jurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the poisonous drug found in coffee.) “For 30 years,” she writes, “I have used coffee. Have always been sick ly—had heart trouble and dyspepsia with ulcers in stomach and mouth so bad, sometimes, I was almost dis tracted and could hardly eat a thing for a week. “I could not sleep for nervousness, and when 1 would lie down at night I'd belch up coffee and my heart would trouble me. It was like poison to me. I was thin—only weighed 125 lbs., when I quit coffee and began to use Postum. “From the first day that belching and burning in my stomach stopped. I could sleep as soundly as anyone and, after the first month, whenever I met any friends they would ask me what was making me so fleshy and looking so weil. “Sometimes, before I could answer Quick enough, one of the children or my husband would say, ‘Why, that is what Fostum is doing for her’—they were all so proud and glad. “When I recommend it to anyone I always tell them to follow direc tions in making Postum, as it is not good to taste if weak, but fine when it has the flavor and rich brown color.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
