The Financier will say; Last week's bank statement, as might have been expected, considering, the extremely unfavorable character of the previous week's exhibit, showed a decided Improvement. Though the cash loss was II 470, TOO. or about BO per cent, below the sum preliminarily estimated, this decrease was in great part offset by reductions In loans oT f24.00O.O00. which were reflected in reductions of In deposits, and consequently of ts.8j0.875 In reserve requirements. As the result of these and other changes the banks showed a net gain of $8,291,575 reserve, computed upon the basis of deposits, leas those of (1.65400 public funds, the surplus was $15,962,000.

Coffee is a. hidden but powerful enemy to one's progress In life. Its subtle, narcotic poison weakens heart, interferes with digestion and has a definite and de-BtruoUve effect on the nervous system. People who are content to load themselves with impediments to progress, who refuse to supply body with food and drink of the kind needed to make up for the daily, disintegration of nerve' and brain tissue, must stand aside in the race. The ones who are properly fed will surely win the laurels.

Postum furnishes the gluten and phosphates of grain needed by Nature to nourish brain and nerves with food. When made right, that Is. boiled 15 minutes after boiling begins. It has a delicious taste similar to Mia mild, high-grade "-Javas, but with none of the bad effects of coffee. There are those who are entirely care- less as to what goes Into the stomach, but the one who would make all his movements tend toward health and possible greatness can know by a personal test.

Schwab was Introduced i i Mmtlnn tha ati- waa i vvni plause being led by a large number cf prominent medical men of the city whj were In the audience. Dr. Schwab's praise of the Markbrelt administration created much enthusiasm. His mention of Rudolph K. Hynlcka, Chairman of the Republican Advisory Committee, bro.ght forth volleys applause and when he announced "If Hynlcka.

was good enough for. Wi.liam H. Taft he is good enough (or the demonstration waa repeated. Dr. Schwab's speech will be found elsewhere in Tbk City Solicitor Edward M.

Ballard, the second speaker of the evening, devoted much of his talk to a refutation ofvthe charge that If elected he would be influ-ticed by any boss or clique. He stated that the statement in this respect attributed to Mr. Peck regarding this matter was a "falsehood" and added that Mr. Peck did not believe it himself. Mayor Galvin jm being introduced by Chairman Hoefl.

ras given an ovation lasting several minutes. Mayor Galvin said, in part: "The candidates on the Republican ticket. In asking the suffrages of the people of this cKy at the approaching election, indorse and stand upon the record mad. by th. present city administration and accept complete responsibility therefor.

"Mr. PePck says Galvtn's administration' has spent a whole lot more money than was spent under the Dempaey- administration, and the say. that h. charges me with' ail this responsibility because Colonel Markbrelt. who was elected two years ago and went into office on January was unable to attend to the duties, and that I was practically Mayor during the most of the time.

It Is possible that Mr. Peck does not know the facta. "The main queation involved in this campaign is the question of an increased tax rate, and I am charged with the responsibility for this. Tou see all over the billboards of the city the figures and a statement accompanying these figures In places that this tax rate of will raise 11.273,000 more than was raised by th. tax rate of two years before.

Well, they come pretty nearly being right on the figures, Til.il.' As a matter of fact, however. It la "S1.10. Where five years ago we bad a tax rate for school purposes of leas than four mills, for next year Included tn the 81.11 or 31.10 rate Is three and a half mills for school purposes. So that there baa been a doubling of the rate for school purposes, and an addition of nearly five mills. think everybody will agree that the work that has been done, and is being done, for our schools, la the building of new schoolbouses.

Justifies this Increase and no one regrets it, "The tax-rate for 1008, under the budget of lSlO. Is. instead of 81.11. as I have said. 31.10.

The tax-rate for 1W waa V9.00. and for the year, before that 29.16. Now, the difference between 29.16 and 31.10 is 1M mills. The increase of 1.94 mills Is made up by an Increase of 5 mills for school purposes, and of 1 05 mills for Sinking Fund purposes. We are charged with the responsibility of this Increase for Sinking Fund purposes, and I do not want to shirk my share of such responsibility, because tbts Increase comes about wholly from the bonds Issued, and to be issued for the improvements covered by the 'Special Bond Election' held last May.

and In which more than two-third, of the people voted In favor of Issuing certain of these bonda. did explain to the people In Several speeches prior to the bond election the financial standing of the city, showing them how well our city city could afford to enter upon such an expenditure and bow eas'ly wc could take care- financially of such a bond Issue, but the people determined the- question, and two thirds of them and more having voted for this "matter they must be charged with the responsibility and not the Republican party or any on. else. This bond Issue has caused nine tenths of a mill Increase over the levy of last year, or 1-06 mills over the levy of two years ago. Now the increase for schools In the budget for 1010 over the budget of 1908 Is five tenths of a mill.

and for sinking fund 105, making a total fl.55, which will leave the Increase for all other purpoees the diffe enc between 1.B4 and 1-50) thirty-nine hundred "Let us compare our tax rate with the tax rate of ether cities: In Cincinnati for next year it will be 31J0; Co-umbus. 82.90: Toledo. 83.80; Sandufky, a2.40; Akron. 81: Toungstown.

So that it does not seem that we are so bad after ahl. and these are the largest cities In the state." Election officers In three precincts of the Eighth Ward A. E- and I are considerably wrought up over the fact that County Prosecutor Hunt has subpoenaed Clerk George A. Go hen. of the Board of Elections, to submit the registration books from those precincts.

The Democratic officers are as much wrought up aa the Republicans, over the matter. There is an Interesting development In this connection. They charge that the County Prosecutor has been employing his stenographer, John H. Druf-fel. to "spy upon them.

Druffel lives In Hyde Park, yet It 1 charged that be has been "haunting the polling places in the precincts whose books arc to be examined, during every registration day. John Murphy, Democratic Registrar In Precinct A. who holds a prominent position with, the Merrill Chemical Company, expressed great indignation last night. "I consider this a personal reflection!" he aaid. "It Is casting a slur upon my good name.

I have been an election officer In this precinct -for the last 15 years, and I am willing to stake ray life upon It that there Is nothing wrong In this precinct. A fine opinion my friends will have of me when they read in th. paper that it is: suspected there Is something wrong with my books! "I believe this thing emanates from this man Druffel. who has been spying around here. is probably a piece of spite work, because we did not give him a chance to earn a dollar on the registration day before the primaries.

On that day Druffel came to ua and pleaded to be permitted to carry the returns to the Board of Elee-tions, aa he would get a dollar for the trip. We afterward learned that he had done the same thing at Precinct L. A relative of hia, Charles Druffel. Is a Democratic election officer and he pleaded with him until the returns were turned over to htm to take to 4he Board of Elections. We.

however, refused to entrust the returns to him." James Richardson. former Exalted Ruler of the Elks, and until recently Superintendent of the Free Public Employment Bureau, the Republican Registrar In the same precinct, was equally wrought up over the affair. He has been an election officer In the precinct for 13 years. He. too, declared It waa a personal reflection.

same expressions ware made by Joseph Cllne, Republican witness, and Michael O'Brien. Democratic witness. Mr. O'Brien two years ago ran against Councilman Mullen tor Council.

Cleveland. Ohio. October 16. By the par- chase of the Everett-Moore holdings In the United States Telephone Company and the Cuyahoga Telephone Company by J. B.

Brailey, of Toledo, and his associates, to-day, a deal, the leasing of the Independent lines by the new 'Ohio Tele phone Company is believed defeated. The Evrett-Moore holdings- represented a large proportion of the stock of both companies. and added to that already held by the Brailey Interests, now gives to the latter a controlling interest In the two companies. Their representative, on the Board of Vot ing Trustees already are In a majority. The sale was negotiated by F.

H. Goff, President of the Cleveland Trust Company, acting aa the representative of the Everett-Moore interests. The part played by'Mr. Goff in the negotiations was merely that of an agent. It Is understood that Brailey and his associates are backed by New York capital.

E. G. Tillotsen, President of the Cuyahoga Telephone Company and Cbalrma nof the Board of the United States Telephone Company. anavounce)d to-night that he had been assured by the purchasers of th. stock that there will be no changes tn the management and polloy of the companies.

Mr. Brailey. seen In Toledo, eonflned himself to saying that and hia associates had purchased the controlling Interest In the two companies and that there would be no change raise in the rates. This transaction change, the aspect of the independent telephone situation In Ohio materially. Indication, at present are that the proposed lease to th.

Ohio Home Telephone Company, yesterday lncorperatedTs Columbus for asoo.OOO. aiming to take over the independent telephone companies of the state and adjacent territory, will be allowed to lapse. -On the other hand, opposition to the Bell Telephone Companies will continue and a closer association of the Independent companies will be sought. To-day's devely opments indlcaae a change of method rather than a change in the policy ofth Independents. The multiplicity of interests In the United States Company indicated to those closely in touch with th.

telephone situation from th. first that thai leasing proposition announced yesterday was likel) not to be carried, out- It is known that Brailey has affiliations among the St. Louis Interests on the United. States Telephone Board, as well as with the National Telephone Company, of Wheeling, W. Va.

Prominent among St. ouls crowd Is H. C. StifeL who, conjunction with Max Koeler and John A. Howard, of Wheeling aa syndicate managers.

Is interested in promoting the Continental Telephone and Telegraph recently incorporated as a New jersey corporation. It is purposed to make this a through line all over the Middle West to handle the through telephone business between distant points leaVng the abort distance operations to th. United States Company. This company already has signed 99-year leases with the United States Telephone Company, and with all the prominent Independent lines la the Middle West, from Minneapolis and St Paul, east to Buffalo and Harrisburg, for the use of their lines. A connection between this company and the Brailey Interests, to result in a huge merger of long and short distance Independent lines Is one of the possibilities of the present situation.
