Mr. Burke, was late in arriving, reaching the city until 9:20 o'clock, and while awaiting his coming several talks were given by members of the local league.

The opening talk was made by the League president, John Stahl, who spoke of the issue of the campaign, being a war against Capital. He extolled Mr. Er ke, who he said if elected will go to represent the wishes of the people. The second speaker was Paul W. Fuller, who made a very excellent talk.

He spoke ot the many good points of the Non-Partisan League and told of oppression of the people by the monied interests. He said there is to be a great fight against oppression, poverty, and all the other undesirable conditions, and if the masses will stand up together and vote solid as they should the change will come.

In scathing language he referred to the utterance of the monied interests in saying that the miners' wages would have to be reduced in order seo cut down the freight rates. In speaking of the coal strike, he said the ers are not out on strike but are locked out by the mine owners, who ever break their agreement with the miners.

REAL THRILL AT THE AGE OF 98 Woman Sees Three GreatGrandchildren Arrive In 48 Hours Mrs. Bertha Perkins, who will be 98 years old next April, found a real thrill recently when three additional great-grand children arrived in three Sabetha, Kansas homes, within a perof 48 hours. They brought number of descendants up to 274. Mrs.

Perkins' five generations of descendants are divided as 10 children, eight of whom are living. 75 grand children. 155 great-grand children. 25 great-great-grandchildren. 9 great-great-great grandchildren.

Mrs. Perkins was born in Virginia, April 25, 1824; married David Perkins in Ohio, March 16, 1843. Her maiden name was Bertha Marcum. In 1848 they emigrated to Iowa, and in 1857 took a homestead in this -Nemaha county--where she has lived ever since. Perkins died in 1893.

"Good and old fashioned cooking," is the recipe Mrs. Perkins gives for her longevity. "It is no wonder people do not live to old age like they used to, considering the rich foods they put in their stomachs nowaday. People do not eat enough coarse food. Corn bread once or twice a day would improve their health.

Here are a few of her ideas as she expressed "I believe women should aid their husbands in voting right, but do not believe women should go into politics or vote." "Cooking courses in schools and run too much to fudge and fancy dishes. I believe still, that the best place for a girl to learn ing and cooking is from her motherbut I am in doubt whether some of these modern day mothers know much about such things. "Work is the best tonic. Why, I do something every day. In the summer time I take care of my vegetable garden.

Last summer I raised so many vegetables I had them' to pass around among the neighbors." ALTOONA P. R. R. Y. M.

LEOPOLD BIGLEY BUYER DEPARTS FOR BOSTON BUY Herb. E. Watts, buyer of men's furnishings and shoes for Leopold Bigley, departed last evening for Boston to purchase a supply of the new Summer Oxfords, which men are now wearing. They will be secured from the Regal Shoe Company. The Regal Shoe Company has recently adopted a new policy of operation and "direct to consumer" distribution whereby their shoes are now to be had at the lowest prices in years.

Mr. Watts will stop in New York on his return and purchase neckwear and shirts. He expects to bring with him a number of the late models of Regal Oxfords- which will be placed on sale the latter part of the week.
