St. Louis, Mo.,Feb. 26.—Hundreds
of leading republicans of Missouri,
including a majority of the 1,000 del-
egates have arrived In the city to at-
tend the state convention which will
meet tomorrow to select the dele-
gates-at-large 'to the republican na-
tional convention at Chicago. The
national leaders and campaign man-
agers are inclined to attach much im-
portance to the Missouri convention
this year.
The republican convention 1s the
first to be held, with the exception
of the recent split affair in Florida.
Missouri was the first state to take
up the Taft candidacy, and it has
been regarded all along as one of
the chief strongholds of the Secreta-
ry of War. The state central com-
mittee, strongly dominated by Taft
sentiment fixed an unusually early
date for the convention with a view,
It is said, of putting one state solid-
ly in the field for Taft at as early a
date as ithe Fairbanks boomers in
Indiana could get to work.
It has been accepted as a foregone
conclusion all along that the dele-
gates-at-large from Missouri are cer-
tain to be sent to Chicago instructed
for Taft. Within the past week or
two there has been some quiet work
done In the Interest of Hughes and
Cannon. This has s irred things up
a bit, but as nearly all of the county
conventions adopted resolutions In-
dorsing Taft there 4s little doubt
but, that 'the Secretary of War will
be able to count upon the solid sup-
port of Missouri next June.
Senator Warner and Attorney
General Hadley will be two of the
four delegates-at-large from Missou-
ri. The ether two have not yet been
fully agreed upon. The convention
will probably indorse Gen. Hadley
for the gubernatorial nomination.
In aiddi' ion to selecting the dele-
gates-ait-large and naming presiden-
tial electors, the convention will be
called upon to choose a national com-
mitteeman to succeed Thomas J. Ak-
ins. Thomas K. Niedringhaus, chair
man of the state committee, is inosit
prominently mentioned as the
cessor of .Mr. Akins.

Never neglect your kindnevs.
If you have pain In the back, ur n-

has cured many stubborn cases in El
Reno. Rollow the advice of an El
Reno citizen and be cured yourself.
Mrs. Alice McCourtney, of 509 N.
Blckford Ave., Bl Reno, Okla., says:
"I have been annoyed by kidney
troubles and backachc off and on for
several years. I have used plasters
and taken remedies but without any
apparent relief. It was during one
of these attacks; 1 had been down
for several days and Buffered intense
pain, that I began using Doan's Kid-
ney Pills which I procured at P. J
Cook's City Drug Store. I never be-
fore used anything that relieved me
so quickly, anid I did not use one box
of the pills before the trouble dis-
appeared. They also corrected the
action of the kidney secretions which
bad been too free. I am glad to re-
commend to others such a reliable
kidney remedy as Doan's Kidney Pills
proved to be In my case."

The famous Whitney Brothers
Quartette will appear at the Carneg-
ie library on Friday evening, Feb.
28th, under the auspices of the Asso-
ciated Charities lecture course. This
quartette appeared here last year,
and is recalled upon the demand of
the people for a return engagement.
To all who attended last year the
name Is sufficient. To others, we an-
nounce that they are worthy of a
liberal patronage. This is a com-
pany of four brothers. The emsem-
ble work Is superior, while each man
alone Is an ai'tlst. Don't fail to be
delighted and cultured by these cul-
tured artists. Tickets on Bale at

New York, Feb. 26.—New York
millionaires who have grown or
growing sons are pondering deeply-
over the career of young E. R. Thom-
as, one of the heirs to the millions
left 'by old Samuel Thomas. This
young man, with an income of $180,-
000, has managed to get in>to debt
to the extent of $2,700,000, and now
he is trying to arrange with his cred-
itors a scheme of liquidation which
would require twenty-seven years to
pay off what he owes.
Some of the very men who are
working out their very lives piling
up dollars to be squandered by prof-
ligate sons or used by their daugh-
ter for the purchase of foreign man-
lklns with titles, are beginning to
ask themselves, "What's the use.'
If a young man. with an Income of
$180,000 a year can't do better than
get in debt at the rate of more than
quarter o*f million dollars a year,
the heritage left by money-getting
fathers doesn't seem so desirable a
thing after all—at least to other
fathers.
All sons of millionaires, however,
must not be placed in the same class
with young Thomas. Some of them
like Clarence Mackay, for instance,
qualified themselves to take their
fathers' places in the world of busi-
ness, anid have "made good." The
life led by the average young mil
lionaire did not appeal to Mackay;
the glitter of the "Great White
Way" did not lure him. He applied
himself to the business of the tele-
graph and cable systems which his
father had built up, and at the annu-
al meeting last week of the Mackay
companies was able to report that de-
spite the financial depression and
the recent telegraphers' striks.^thest
companies would pay their usual
dividends.
That cases like that of young
Mackay are exceptional is evidenced
by the amount of attention his bus!
ness successes attracted. Many
economists believe It is well for the
counitry that the millionaire sons do
not have the business Industry and
acumen displayed by their fathers.
If they had, there would be no dis-
sipation of swollen fortunes and soon
a few families would possess all the
wealth. Under the system as It now
operates, poor young men from the
country and smaller towns are com-
ing to New York and gathering up
the fortunes scattered by tbo sons of
former money getters. Their sons
will scatter the wealth they accumu-
late, and other poor young men will
come and gather It up.
The air isn't exactly balmy, but
conclusive evidence was forthcoming
this week that spring is close at
hand. The fourteenth annual Sports-
man's Show opened on Thursday at
Madison Square Garden. Since blue-
birds emigrated forever from Man-
hattan, New York relies upon the
Sportsman's Show to herald the ap-
proach of springtime.
The show this year is more com-
plete and comprehensive' than ever
before. There are exhibits from the
Kootenay Country of the Northern
Rockies, from Canada, Maine and an
especially fine display from Virginia.
The man who plans to spend his
vacation next summer hunting or
fishing, can get all the information
he needs right now, at Madison
Square. Guides from Maine and
New Brunswick are there to tell
him about the greait north woods,
and If he would know how to build
camp, the camp itself is there to
give him pointers. The show Is the
mecca of sportsmen from every part
of the country, and some of the bear
stories and fish yarns they tell are
bo big that the Garden roof Bhows
s gns of bulging.

The tremenduous growth of the
business of automobile manufacture
Is disclosed by statistics for the year
1907 just given out. During the
year there were manufactured In the
United States 52,302 pleasure auto-
mobiles with a total value of $105,-
669,572. During the calendar year
1900 the total value of pleasure au-
tomobiles manufactured was $4,7 48,-
011. There were 58,000 workmen
engaged in the Industry last year, as
against 2,500 in 1900. The capital
n 1907 was $94,200,000, as against
$6,000,000 In 1900.
These figures tell a story of de-
velopment that has never been
equal hoi to a like period by any oth-
er Industry In America or elsewhere.
Nor does this take into account au-
tomobiles used for business and In-
dustrial purposes, a branch of the In-
dustry which had not conie into ex-
istence in 1900 but which has now
reached enormous proportions, al-
though the figures are not at this
time available.
And manufacturers say that the
possibilities of the automobile are
Just beginning to be realized. They
predict that the next seven years will
show a growth which will make that
of the seven years past seem trivial.
It Is predicted that the next two or
three years will see a great reduc-
tion In the price of pleasure <;ara,
with a, corresponding Increase In
the r use; and that th-e uw of au-
tomobiles for work purpu«e* will in-
crease a: an even more astounding
,rae-
Ity a decision hand.'.! down recent-
ly in the Appellate Division one of
tli' worst evils of New York's com-
I inert- al lli'e promises be cured.
'The practice or wholesalers and job-
bers giving tips to the buyers for
| department stores and other large
concerns had grown to stwb an er-
ten that during the past lew years
merchants were almost in consterna-
tion.
In order to make a test ease, one
of the big stores refused to pay for
or return goods to the value oT
$ 1,555, the purchase of which had
been brought about through tbo giv-
ing of a bribe of $75 to one of the
store's buyers. The ground of refus-
al that in giving the bribe the whole-
saler had become a party to a crime,
and the law says the parties to a
crime cannot get any benefit from St.
The appelate court sustau ed this
contention.
There Is an anti-tlpping law in
New York, but convictions trader it
ar ■ few and then the punishment is
a light fine. Iluyers and wholesalers
were willing to take a chance of de-
tection and convic-ion for the sake of
the profits, and the law, therefore,
ha4 little effect on this particular
form of tipping evil. Hut if the
wholesalers cannot secure payment
for goods sold through the medium
of tips, that particular form of get-
ting business is likely to lose Its at-
tractiveness.
The department store which made
the fight has announced 'that the
value of the goods 3t is allowed to
keep will be given to charity, as it
has no wish ta benefit by a crime.
A body of civic reformers is pre-
paring to make war on N«w York's
electric signs, which are declared to
have become a nuisance and a blem-
ish on the city's beauty. From down
the Day or across the East er Hud-
son rivers. New York with its mil-
lions of lights would present a beau-
tiful picture at night were It not for
these signs. About all that can be
seen now are the names of beer or
corsets or <V:her articles of trade em-
blazoned in letters of fire. Some of
the tallest buildings are surmounted
by these sigr.s with letters so large
that they can easily he road from
Jersey anil Long Island shores.
A few years ago war was waged
on unsightly bill boards and very
substan; al reforms were accompllsh-
I ed. The stweess of the war on elec-
tric signs will be watched with in-
terest by other cities similarly
plagued.
It takes a lot of money to supply
New York with free reading mater-
ial. According to the annual report
of John S. Hillings, <1; rector of the
New York public library, the ex-
penditures last year were $692,000.
There are 621,000 volumes in the
circulating department of the libra-
ry which are at the disposal of tho
people through the main Ifbrary and
Its thirty-seven branches. Dally
newspapers are on file to the num-
ber of 118, weekles to the number
of 890 and monthly porlod cals to
the number of 1,856. a lvge num-
ber of the books are In. foreign lan-
guages. and there are 2,979 volumes
and 1,745 pieces of musie for the use
of the blinid.
