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."

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

CONVENTION OF NEBRASKA MAN

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.

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.
Blushing Bride—What was that our

"Why are you so miserable?"

“PROUD AND GLAD”
Because Mother Looked So Well
After Quitting Coffee.
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.
