H. Miller Bet $15,000 to that the Governor Would Re-Elected. C0NNERS PUT 4JP $8,500. Mr. Miller Has $60,000 More tq Bat on Odatll Strong; Endorsements of Edward R.

O'Malley. A. H. Miller, the well-known hors fancier and business man, bet $15,000 to on Odell last Saturday night- WllUfcm J. Conners took the Coler end of the bet.

Mr. Miller announced after the bet made that he would bet $50,000 additional that Gov. Odell would be re-ejected, The bet was made In the Iropuols potel early Saturday evening. Mr. Millet and Conners met.

In the hotel lobby and Mr. Conners began to talk politics. Mr. Conners, as a delegate to the state convention, labored with Hugh McLaughlin for an hou" at Saratoga In an effort to In duce Mr. McLaughlin to withdraw Coler as a candidate for governor, declaring -that Coler would beat the ticket if nominated.

Mr. Conners. In his talk with Mr. Miller Saturday evening, declared that Coler. would be elected.

"I'll bet $2,600 to $5,000 that Cojer Is elected, said Mr. Conners. Mr. Conners's offer showed that Mr. Conners really thought that thore were two chances to one against Coler's election.

"I'll take that bet," said Mr, Miller, so quickly that Sir Conners was startled. Mr. Conners had talked In such loud, tones that a number of gentlemen In the hotel had overheard his offer to bet on Coler, and he had to make good. Mr. Miller put up his check -for and Mr.

Conners drew his check for $2,500, and both were turned over to George H. Woolley as stakeholder. "Now I'll bet $10,000 to $6,000 that Gov. Odell 13 re-elected." said Mr. Miller.

Those were better odds than Mr. Conners could get any place e.se. but be wanted Mr. Miller to put up $10,000 against $5,000. He still believed that the chances prere two to one against Color.

Mr. Miller Insisted on making the bet $10,000 to $6j00O and Mr. Conners finally agreed. more checks aggregating $16,000 were, drawn and turned over to Mr. Woolley.

"I'm simply backing my judgment," said Mr. Miller, after the bets had been made. "I believe that Gov. Odell will be re-elected. I do not think the outcome will be in doubt for an Instant, and I am willing to bet my money that Odell wins." O'Malley Edward R.

O'Malley, the republican candidate for district attorney, has in his possession two letters which show to some extent the high standing which he attained while In the assembly at Albany. These letters are from Senator Frank W. Hlg-glns, the republican candidate for lieutenant-governor, and Senator Timothy E. Ellsworth of Lockport, the majority leadir the Senator Hlgglns's letter Is as follows: Olean, N. Oct.

2, 1902. Honorable E. R. O'Malley, My Dear O'Malley I notice-by this morning's papers that you have accepted the nomination of district attorney for Erie county. I suppose It Is proper for me to congratulate you.

Of course, there Is no question In my mind but what you will fill that high position with entire satisfaction to the people of Erie county and with honor and credit to yourself. ISevertbPless. wnen I realise the valuable work which vou have done In the' legislature, and the great service which vou would have rendered to the1 state if you had been re-elected to the assembly, I cannot help but feel that Erie county's gain is, In a measure, the state's loss. Trusting you may receive the handsome majority which fidelity to public duty In the past entitles you, I am, with best wishes, Tours very truly, FEANK W. HIGGlNS.

Following Is a copy of Mr. Ellsworth's letter: Lockport, N. October 10, 1902. Honorable E. R.

Considerable stolen property was recovered yesterday afternoon by Detective Sergeant O'Loughlln In a room over an Exchange street saloon. A dress-suit case, two satchels and an overcoat constituted the plunder. All had been taken from various railroad stations. The suit case, which contained about 500 amateur photographs, belonged to Alonzo H. Burgoyie of Paulett Lodge, Twickenham, England.

Mr. Burgoyne passed through Buffalo on September 25th, and It was while waiting at the Lehigh. Valley station that his suit ease was stolen. Une of the satchels belongs to F. J.

Ferry, who lives In Chicago. It was stolen one evening a few weeks ago from a Wabash train in the Erie railroad station. The other satchel was the property of a man named Ires, who lives In Cincinnati. It was stolen from a train In the New York Central station. The overcoat, which was stolen from the same station, belonged to Robert Thompsmi of Brooklyn.

Several days ago two men, who gave their names as William Stark and Frank Williams, were sent to the penitentiary for 60 days for stealing from the railroad stations. The men lived In the same building where the olunder was recovered yesterday, and It Is believed by the police that they did the stealing. POP CONCERT. Ossip Gabrilowitsch Proved Him- self to be a Great Artist Emi- lio Gorgoza Next. Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the young Russia pianist of whom Buffalo music lov- era had been expecting so much, appeared at the Pop concerts at Convention Hall yesterday afternoon nd demonstrated that all that has) been said of blm does not begin to complete the tale of bis wonderful talent.

He Is one of those rare artists who appear at In- tervals In the music world, whose genius -marks them for a niche In the annals of fame, and whose talent startles the world by the richness of Its power. Of his style It may be said that he has rare depth of expression, finished tech- nlque and simplicity of manner. After the first few bars of his first had died away in the vastness of space In Conven- -tlon Hall, the audience fully realized that a master was at the piano. He chose Bu-biDSteln's concerto in minor, which be gave In such a finished and pleasing manner that he was recalled four times, at last graciously responding with an encore, which was Rubinstein's minor "Barcarolle." His second number Included the -major nocturne, and one of the A flat major altzes by' Chopin, also the major polonise by Llsxt. He was again encored alter this group and responded with Schu-man's "Nachtstuck," In which he rendered singing tone with truly wonderful effect.

Gabrilowitsch at once establishes himself In the fsvor of his audience sw' the extreme simplicity and unaffectedneaa of his manner. Be Is absolutely without affectation, and, as he plays, seems to forget his audience and all his surroundings In his music He leads to bis playing all the power of an intensely poetic disposition. The orchestral work was up to the usual high standard sad created a most favor- able impression- The opening number, "Right Is Might." by Mr. Kraft, a member of the orchestra, was one oi the nort pleasing numbers rendered by the orchestra. -It was recalled, and on its second rendition, the composer directed the orchestra.

At the Pop concert next Sunday Emllio Gorgosa, the noted baritone, wili be tha soloist.

FREE CAR FARE. Street Car Tickets are Beins Given Away by the William Hen-gerer Company.

As an extra spscial feature of the great million-dollar sale now going on at the mammoth department store of the Will iam Hengerer Company, the thousands of daily customers are to be given free a special Hengerer street car ticket for each dollar retail purchase. For example, a customer buying one dollar's worth at merchandise will be given one ticket; two dollars' worth, two tickets; five dollars worth, five tickets; and so on up to any amount. The free street car tickets will be given only on even dollar amounts, thus a purchase of less.than a dollar will not entitle the customer, to a ticket, and a $1.98 purchase will call for but one ticket. Of course, a customer who has made a $1.08 purchase at one depart ment may buy other goods to bring the total amount of the purchase to $2 and then receive two tickets. The Hengerer Company will give its free street car tickets on the aggregate purchase of each individual customer.

The big department store has an ex clusive issue of its own tickets. They are lithographed in purple, the front being the same design as the blue tick ets now in use by the International Rail way Company; but the back the well known script name The Wm. Hengerer Company greatly reduced in size, but the same design that has appeared in the Hengerer Company's advertising for many years. Customers' at the Hengerer store will not experience the slightest inconven- ienco in securing their street car tickets. It will not be necessary for them to take their purchase checks to different depart ment apart from where their purchases are made to receive their free street car tickets.

When a customer receives his change the sales person will at the same time give him the number' of street car tickets that his purchase entitles him to, On another page of today paper the Hengerer Company has some intensely interesting store news telling of the remarkable bargains for the second week of the great million-dollar sale. The free street car tickets bring the Hengerer store to the very door of every Buffalo household. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

Sudden Death of Mrs. Martha Gal-antowicz May Have Been Caused by Poisoning. INVESTIGATION ORDERED. Woman Died ef Acute Gastritis After Eating a Bowl of Soup, and Her Mother Demanded an Autopsy. The police of the 12th precinct are making a thorough Investigation of the death of Mrs.

Martha Galantowics, 24 years old, the wife of Nicholas Galantowics, a butcher who keeps a stall in the Broadway market. Mrs. Galantowics died on Wednesday at her home at 015 Fillmore avenue of acute gastritis, and under circumstances which might be mtlrely natural, but which admit also of the possibility of poisoning, and it Is on the complaint of her mother that the police are making the Investigation. Mrs. Galantowics had been attended for six days previous to her death by Dr.

It. Scbroeter of 798 Fillmore avenue. He diagnosed her Illness as a form of stomach trouble, and on Tuesday found that she had Improved so steadily that he told her she could stop taking medicine. On Wednesday she became worse and the doctor was sent for. He found her dying, pnd after her death notified County Medical Examiner Danser, who advised an autopsy.

Dr. Bchroeter performed an autopsy, md while he found no traces of poisoning, he deemed the suspicions of the mother suffi cient cause to remove the stomach analysis. It was sent to the German Hospital, and will be examined If Dr. Danser so orders. It Is said that Mrs.

Galantowics seemed well until" Wednesday morning, when rhe had a bowl of soup and a glass of milk for breakfast. Dr. Schroeter said this morning that while the autopsy showed no certain rvl- dences of poisoning, be thought that the story related to him by the mother suffi cient grounds for a rigid investigation. The police of the 12th precinct were asked to make an Investigation, and If any evidence of foul play is found, an arrest will be made. There are no grounds for suspicion against any of the immediate members of the household.

LOTS AT AUCTION. F. B. Robins Proposes to Sell 400 at Knsington Remarkable Gifts a Feature. Frederick B.

Robins, the well-known real estate dealer, has completed arrangements to throw upon the open market a large' tract of residence property in the Kensington district, and has conceived the idea of an auction sale of city building lots. While unusual here, this plan has been found very successful in other cities. The property is bounded on three sides by Kensington avenue, Amherst street and the Erie and Lackawanna tracks. It is on the Kensington-Grider street car line, only half an hour from the downtown district and but two minutes walk from four large factories. That it is a very eligible residence district is proved by the fact that there is not a vacant house in the vicinity.

The sale opens Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the corner of Kensington and Clyde avenues, and will continue until all the 400 lots have been sold. Street car tickets will be given to each person who attends. The remarkable feature of the auction sale will be the giving away of four bouses and lots, estimated to be worth $2,800 each, and forty fine building lots. One of the 0 lots will be given away after each ten lots have been sold at auction, and will be presented to the man or woman of the ten buyers who made the highest bid. In other words, the highest bidder of each ten at the auction sale gets two lots for the price bf one.

One of the four houses and lots will be given' away after each 100 sales. It will be presented" to the 100 buyers, and they will decide among themselves, by a majority vote, the manner in which it will be awarded. This plan will be continued until four fine modern homes have, been given away. The lots are high and dry, located on graded city streets, with young elm trees, sidewalks, sewers and water mains, and the fact that all are to be sold at auction will guarantee bargain prices. Terms of sale will be easy, the purchaser being required to pay only ten per cent down, 40 per cent in ten days and the balance in one year, at five per cent interest.

DRAMA IN GERMAN. Adolf Philipp and His Company Furnished Fun and Pathos at the Star.

"New York In Word and Picture," Adolf Phlllpp's German folk-play, was produced at the Star Theatre last evening. It was so well received that It Is safe to say If Mr. Philipp would vouchsafe Buffalonlans a second opportunity to see the production no theatre In town would hold the audience that would turn out to see It. The play is a comedy drama and depicts enough of the wickedness of the metropolis to serve as a warning to young men to re strain tfteir ardor for a closer acquaintance with the Baby-ion of America. Some of the hnv the Rnmrr mMnM appreciated by a good-sized audience.

Mr. Howarth In his address said In part: "Throughout the state of New York no man can be found so rash as to deny that David B. Hill held the democratic state convention In the hollow of his hand. Not a candidate was nominated, not a clause Inserted In the platform that did not bear the stamp of his approval: At the -mention ef Hill's name what an army i forbidding shades rises to offend the cttl-" sens' sense of common the aard incident, the disgraceful struggle in the TTnlted States senate over the Wilson tariff the destruction of Ulster coua-. ty petitions, the stealthy attacks on the Chicago platform as being socialistic, and the open and insults to the -free-trade wing of the party when, as gov-ernir of the state of New Y6rk, he gave his reasons for refusing to attend their ventlon in New York.

All these, and more, rise to disturb the peace whenever the Sage of Wolfert's Boost emerges from his cave In search of prey. "The democratic party has never acknowledged the' allegiance of a more mined foe of socialistic platforms than David B. Hill. And Mr. Hill's latest nominee for gorer-nor, a Wall street financier, who Is damned with faint praises by the democratic or-.

gans who know him best, and who is praised with faint damns by all the other organs, Is opposed by men like Nathan Straus snd supported by the men who hooted Mr. Straus off the stage and assaulted him after he left It. "And Mr. Hill's latest platform, which -refuses to mention the latest national Dlat- form and the democratic party's national probably because of their socialistic sympathies, declare for public owner- snip or Tne Pennsylvania coal mines, through the exercise of the power of eml- nent domain. To see how empty a piece political toomfoolery this is, it is only necessary to observe how energetically some or tne leading railroad and comora tlon lawyers of the state are preparing to support tne democratic party in New York state this fall in Erie county.

"Even if Mr. Hill and his henchmen were sincere the remedy proposed Is entirely wrong. Jt is iaie to secure national or gov ernmental ownership of the coal mines without government ownership also of the coal-carrying railroads. BUFFALO MAN PRAISED. The formal occupying of the new U.

FOOLED HIM. But In the Pleasant Ways of Peace. Good thing so ne men are married. Their wives keep a sensible watch over them, and have a way to, help overcome their troubles. Mr.

E. Lewis, of Shanlko, was lo cated for several years at various points In Booth America, and fell into the native cusldtn of frequently drinking coffee. He lays: "1 took to using the same as those nervous, excitable people in South and Central (America; They make very black coffee and It becomes more or less an In oxIcattng beverage. At the end of about four months, I began having severe head aches, and nervousness, but supposed it was from the tropical sun. At last my wife became alarmed at my headaches and stomach' trouble.

She tried to Induce me to quit drinking coffee, laying my trouble to that, bat I continued to use It. She read of Postum Food Coffee, and ordered some from the States, but kept It a secret from mi. The very first time she made it. When I came In for my coffee and roll, I noticed that peculiar, pleasant flavor of Postum, and asked her what It was. She said It was a new brand ef coffee and asked me how I liked It.

I tried two cups of it with rich 'Leche-de-Cheua, which Is used by everyone as milk In Pan ama, and thought It excellent. After couple of days, my headaches stopped, and In a short while my nervousness disap peared as if by magic. I nave been using nothing but Postum for the past year, and have been, completely cured, snd my wife has also been cured of constipation by changing to Postnm, and we shall never go back to coffee again." i len, Mrs. G.
