S.—Premier Franco has W* relinquished power, and a- new cabinet sfv,.,. has been formed with Judge Admiral Ferreai Do Amaral as its president. practical This step signalized the withdrawal of Franco from power. He agreed to this measure as one calculat ed to pacify hostile public opinion at a time when only a spark was needed inflame the Whole country, and hurl ing it headlong into revolutl^-: Never theless it is believed Franco vly still be the "man of power," but his of ficial prerogatives are at least shorn of real authority. The opening session of the council was held today. King Emanuel II ap peared before his ministers, and with a voice vibrant with emotion said "I am yet without experience in sci ence or in politics. I place myself en tirely in your hands, needing and be lieving in your patriotism and wis- 'dom.** The new cabinet is madte up of a opposed to Franco's the details of the plot which culmin ated in the assassination of the king and his heir. It was established today Buixa, orwi of the regicides, is ,a idower with a, daughter ag£d seven and a son only a few months old. A newspaper notice says one of the regi cides- who wasi killed was a Spaniard who was taken Into custody recently in connection with the discovery of a de pot of bombs, b»t who was later re leased. One man not under arrest is a Cuban who played in .the orchestra of *a theater In Lisbon. This man is in an extreme condition of hysteria. His food in prison is served him without knives or forks for fear he will kill hiinself. King Manuel has announced his in tention of summoning parliament and of taking the oath to preserve the in tegrity of the kingdom before that body. The new cabinet is liberal, with monarcliial tendencies. Up to 4:30 this afternoon there had ^been no recurrence of disorders in 'Lisbon. The Portuguese frontier is be ing closely guarded to prevent the es cape of suspects. The authorities are -maintaining strict censorship on all outgoing telegraphic messages. The Spanish government has or dered a cruiser to come to Lisbon and :lt Is learned today that two British •warships are on the way to Tagus. The general opinion is that there will 't»e a modification in the ministerial program after the funerals of the late king and crown prince. These proba bly will take place Feb. 10, 1 New King Popular, Army Loyal. Berlin, Feb. 3.—The Darmstaedter bank has received the following pri vate dispatch from Lisbon: "The king of Portugal is unusually popular and the army is thoroughly loyal. All alarming rumors should be received with the greatest caution. "'Coalition of the ministry will receive the support of ihe entire country. The Portuguese legation here has in formed tne German roveign office that order prevails in Portugal, and that the government still firmly supported by the army and responsible classes. RUSSIA IS ALARMED. Draws Parallel Between Conditions in Portugal and Empire. [n St. Petersburg, Feb. 3.—The tragic occurrences at Lisbon have created a deep impression on -all sections of so ciety here. The newspapers today comment gravely upon the events that led up to the double assassination. The Russ, in a daring editorial, draws a thinly veiled parellel between condi tions in Portugal and those in Russia and warns the government in almost eo many words that there Is danger of a similar event here. The lamentablei arid awful tragedy in Portugal, the pa-' •per says, was due to the fact that the iking did not understand his people, end attempted to stem by dictatorial methods of repression the irresistible striving of the masses to take part in the government. The tragedy hap pened at the very moment when Prem ier Franco seemingly had succeeded in restoring order by a series of unprece dented repressive measures. N'ovoe Voemya, altho attributing the d'reot execution of the plot to the anarchists, to whom all government is •oonoxious, also connects the crime with the dictatorship of Franco, which met •with both open and secret resistance Xrom all political parties. Battleships to Scene. Madrid. Feb. 3.—The If**./ government JhM ordered the cruisers Princess! de -'A Asturas to proceed to l.isbou. The dispatch of a cruiser to Lisbon is, it is explained by the newspapers, to put warships at the disposition of the Spanish minister.

Ad vices received here from Huelva say the Portuguese families are taking refuge in great numbers on the island of Cristina and at Ayamonte. a Span ish town on the Portuguese frontier Public opinion in Oporto holds France responsible' for the assassinations. Spanish residents of Oporto have asked that a warship be sent there. Roosevelt Sends Condolences. Washington. I'Vb. —The following cablegram of sympathy for the king nt Portugal today was dispatched from the White House: "I hasten to express to you and your-^. bereaved iineen mother my hearttelt condolence by reason ot' the tragic death ol' your royal lather and broth er. The The American people feel a peculiar bond of sympathy with the people of Portugal in their great afflic tion, and they have been inexpressibly shocked and grieved at the dreadful tragedy. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Ready to Protect British. Gibraltar. Feb. 3.—The second British cruiser squadron left here this morning, steaming to the west. It was at first reported that the vessels are going to Lisbon, but it is understood now the squadron will not go to Ta gus unless the situation in Portugal takes an unexpected turn, jeopardiz ing the lives or property of British subjects. Vote of Sympathy Withdrawn. Budapest, Feb. 3.—A vote of sym pathy with the family of the late King Carlos, moved today by the Hungarian cabinet in the diet, lias been with drawn because the independents op posed it on the ground that King Car los liad violated the constitution of his country. Britain's Sympathies With Franco. London. Feb. 3.—I't has been rum ored for some time past that Great Britain proposed to interfere to restore order in Portugal. As a friend of Portugal Great Britain certainly has been using her moral influence to end the unsettled condition of affairs in coalition of elements In the hope of re-j that country, and she will cont conciling the many disturbing ele-1 do so, but as for any interference in shall make reports and submit their ments. Some of" the new ministers the internal affairs of Portugal, that ij00ks to the federal bureau is of little have been nottbly is iron rule. Not one of the Franco mm- ion here is largely in sympathy with isters remain. Sennr out of the question. Official opir- Franco, The* city ha is still in the throes been working for the best interests of ^'"5 ''of intense excitement and the author- his country. Officials are inclined to ities continue to follow unceasingly think, however, that Franco made a mistake in tackling all parties opposed to good government at once. Instead of fighting them singly.

Washington, Feb. 3.—Public opinion has been prompt and efficient in the correction of commercial evils when those evils are stated specifically. This is one of the conclusions reached by Herbert Knox Smith, commission er of corporations, and expressed in his annual report of the operations of tl.e bureau of corporations, made pub lic today. Naturally, under the present condi tions, the real power of public opinion reaches only such cases as may be "specifically stated." "Thus," says the •commissioner, "|experience seems to point logically to the need for the ex tension of such results by the creation of a general administrative system of supervision of interstate corporations which will give, in substantially the same form as furnished now for the corporations, essential facts relating to all great interstate corporations. Whether the system take the form of a federal license plan or the simple re- tinue to yuirement that interstate corporations CQn ce s0 ]ong who. it is believed, ha* necessary for publicity is obtained. rive at a system which will accom plish the result: which will enable the government 'to deal with such cor porations in the main by administra tive supervision rather than by judi cial procedures: whose methods will be preventive rather than penal, and most important of all, a system which will afford permanent and prac tical ground for contact and co-opera tion between the government officials charged with this work on one hand and the corporate managers on the other. "It js believed the time is ripe for such a system. The bureau has had increasingly voluntary co-operation and -assistance of most of the large corporations involved in the subject matter of the bureau's investigations." Smith says he is continuing the in vestigations already begun into the in dustries of petroleum* tobacco, steel, and the operations of the International Harvester Company into the cause of •the high pricc of lumber, with a. view of developing any combination that may exist: into causes of fluctuations and difference in the prices of cotton and into patents granted to officers and employes of the United States. In quiry also is being conducted into wat er transportation, both coastwise and internal. SOUTH CHICAGO RIOT. Crowd at Steel Company's Plant Dis persed After Severe Fight.

Reduction in Copper. York, Feb. 3.—All grades of were reduced cent a pound "Plate"' Editorials Furnished Gratis to Country Newspap ers Darred Under Primary PERKINS BELITTLES THE LAW Attitude of Sioux City Newspaper Sur­ prises Politicians—Forty Paid Work­ ers at Ono Time in Employ of Per­ kins' Managers—Primary Law In­ tentions. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, Feb. 3.—The only paid political press bureau that ever oper ated in Des Moines is put out of bus iness by the interpretation that At torney General H. W. Byers puts on the primary election law. By paid political press bureau is meant per sons who do not work for legitimate newspapers and receive their sole compensation from such newspapers, but persons who send out news which is printed by newspapers but who re ceive their compensation from some "interest" or political source other than the newspapers which print the matter they send out. It will be remembered that follow ing the last convention Alex Miller of Washington, lowa, who was the head It has been the plans of the con cerns furnishing "plate matter" to country newspapers to furnish such matter free to country newspapers and receive the compensation from the same persons who employe the press bureau. Recently some of the concerns! which furnish this plate matter made:men an investigation of things in Iowa and began looking up "new business" for 190S. They intended to draw their funds from the candidates but discov ered that the primary law will not al low it. The same press bureau that worked in 1906 for George .D. Perkins and then switched off and worked for the democratic ticket also employed a large number of other workers. At one time "lining things up for ^er"injgh( the state kins." Some of these men were Joe Toulouse, Allen Morrison and others. One Of the member^ of that press bu reau of Perkins said one Sunday that the next morning there would be twen ty men leave Des Moines for various sections of the state to do political work. Under the new primary election law none of this sort of thing will be pos sible without endangering those who violate the law to a penalty. Recently the Sioux City Journal, for the election of whose editor e/nitted a column and a half slur at the primary election law among other things, saying: "It will be safe on the whole, to snap fingers at? .the Cummins-Byers big stick," and to the interpretation of the attorney general that editorial mention favor able to a candidate must be free and without consideration and not accom panied by the purchase of extra copies or of advertising space by the candi date because such purchase of extra copies or editorial space could be con strued as have influenced the editorial expression the Journal declares "Bosh." The Journal also attempts to slur newspaper men of Des Moines who have never received one dollar for any thing they have written outside of the compensation paid by the newspapers they serve. Many politicians are surprised at the attitude of the Journal toward the primary election law. Judge S. F. Prouty, in his address in this city some days ago, stated that he was told by one who was employed in the Perkins headquarters in 1906 that up to the state convention $194,000 had been spent in Mr. Perkins' interest as a candidate for governor. Bills to that amount had been allowed and there were $8,000 more in bills that had not been passed upon, and still more bills, he did not know how much, yet to come in. Of course, Mr. Perkins was hardly able to afford that much out of his own pocket, and it seems doubt ful to most politicians that disinter ested patriotic citizens, who had no connection with corporations, would contribute that amount. Attorney General Byers said on the day that he gave his interpretation of the primary to the newspapers: "In giving this opinion I have taken as the basis of my interpretation that the intent and purpose of the law is to prevent votes or political influence of any kind from being a commodity on the market. I believe that the law intends and expects that citizens shall support candidates of their choice and get out and work for them, but wher ever a. citizen does get out and work for a candidate it must be without consideration, and solely because he thinks that candidate is the best. The purpose of the law is that the people vhall arrive at their choice of candi- jw- rvf ™*A "wn'- W dates without influence from money or other valuable cons' 'ion." In view of the a' spent in Mr. Perkins' interest, icians are sur prised at the att' .f" of the Journal. MAN IN FIRE. Louis Brine* Jes Moines, Suffocated Help Arrives. c* Des Kelt. •'!.—Louis Brind ley was ed and suffocated to death as he lay in the kitchen Hour of his home at East Seventh street, last night. The lire was a very small one, but the nuin was evidently either sleeping or insensible, as he breathed the tire in the room. His wife, who slept apart from him in the bedroom, escaped unhurt and gave the alarm. Hut her directions to save her husband were too tardy save the man's life. The Hrindleys lived in the upper part of the house occupied by two oth er families. At 9 o'clock last night the wife aroused the O'Donnell family with the cry of "Fire!" The department was called ami a tight made to find the sleeping husband.

The body was taken to a neighbor's house, where City Physician Miller and Dr. Duliigg worked in vain to restore life.

For some time past the business of the company has been very heavy during the early part of the evening, many people who patronize the toll lines oc casionally waiting until the change of rates to call up friends in distant cit ies as an economic measure. This has had a tendency to congest the lines, as experiment proved satisfactory, but a means of cutting down busi ness, as some people who were occa sional patrons did not use the lines as often or as long as before.

Chicago, Feb. 3.—A newsboy on his early morning route to Highland Park yesterday came across the body of William Brace, a member of the law firm of Defree, Brace Ritter, frozen stiff in the snow within fifty yards ol his residence. There were no evidences of fbul play, and a theory' that Mr. Brace, while on his way home late the previotis even ing, had been stunned by a fall upon the slippery sidewalk and had suc cumbed to the cold, was supported .by the verdict of a coroner's jury.

The Wrong Way Many Physicians .Try to (Jure Dys pepsia by Having Their Patients Starve Out the Disease. This Method May Ruin th« Stomach. To become*'a physician one must study medical literature for a long time and attend' several years at a mfrdic&l college. dissect at least one human body, pass many quizzes and examinations, and at last receive his diploma, which entitles him to the M. D. degree. Yet all this does not necessarily make a doctor. We. have known many graduates, with their sheepskins, who could not apply the knowledge they had acquired to relieving and curing a patient of dyspepsia. They were tloored by t'neir first at tempt to cure such a patient. They were not to tola me for this, for all the knowledge they acquired from medical works was wholly experimen tal. They were told to try the follow ing: Aromatic Ammonia. Bicarbonate of Soda. Bicarbonate of Potass Blue Mass. Camphor Water. Catechu. Charcoal. Creosote. Hot Water. Lime Water. Magnesia. Mineral Waters. Nitric Acid. Kitro-Muriatie Acid. Nux Vomica. Oil of Amber. Oil of Cajuput. Rhubarb. Senna. Spirits of, Lavendei-. Starvation. Strychnia. Sulphur. Sulphite of Lime. Tincture Cardamon. .Taraxacum. Tincture Ginger. Tincture of Iron. Tonics. 1 Vegetable Bitters. In the list hot wa:er is the only remedy that will not do more harm (than 1 good, and its use is still an (un solved problem. If the professor who coaches the graduate would hand him a package •of Stuart's Dyspepsia' Tablets and tell him that it was a specific for dyspep sia, indigestion, all stomach ailments, and should be his mainstay in such cases, that one grain of their active principle would digest 3,000 grains of .'food in the stomach, and that aided by this remedy the stomach would soon regain its normal conditipn, he \vould do- the student more good than send ing him forth with a lot of uncertain knowlege about the cure of these dis eased conditions. The young doctor would gain a repu tation by curing his first case of dys pepsia. The patient cured would sound his praises far and n^ar, as do thousands upon thousands who praise Stuar.t's Dyspepsia Tablets. Instead of experimenting with the mess of medicine in the above lisl', and doing his patients more harm than good, he would always be gaining reputation by always curing his pa tient. When he met any indication Of a diseased organ, he should discover what hundreds of other doctors have, that the whole trouble started with im perfect digestion and assimilation, then take out of his pocket medicine case a few of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets, and tell the patient how to Use them. The result would be considered by the patient almost miraculous, and success after success would be achieved by him. Many blood diseases, skin eruptions and heart troubles yield readily to Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they cure the incubating cause—dys pepsia. If the stomach is wrong, you are wrong all over. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold everywhere at druggists'—50 cents per package. 45end us your name and address to day and we will at once send you by mail a sample package, free. Address F. A.

Stories liased of His liijr on Interview Fortune With Carnegie Trust Ueail IT HAS NOT BEEN DENIED Nothing Said About the Value of Shares of Stock Held by lowan James Wilson Not a Candidate for Governor on a Harmony Platform— Only One Road to Harmony. Special to Times-Republican. Dos Moines, Fob. 3.—Authority for •the statement made in these columns some days ago that Secretary Shaw's interest in the Carnegie Trust Com pany of New York amounted to $1, 310,800, is the interview given out by Vice President Dickinson of the com pany. In his interview published January 23 in the Register and Loader of this city, Mr. Dickinson says: "There has been no trouble at all about stock distribution. It is true that I control a majority of ithe stock. Mr. •Shaw's shares of the stock amount to $i,310,!00. Mr. Shaw bought them at $150 per share, and they will be taken over by me at prices ranging from }150 to $200 per shore." In the article about Mr. Shaw's wealth that was published in tbes, columns this interview with Mr. Dick inson was given prominence and was featured as the grounds on which the article was based. Anyone who read the article could easily see that that was the grounds for the article. There has never been any denial of the in terview published. There was never any effort on the part of the person who wrote the article to examine into the articles of corporation or capitali zation of the Carnegie Trust Comimny. If the interview .was incorrect that ends it. The Cedar Rapids Republican, whose editor has the -delicate and gentleman ly habit of calling everybody a liar who disagrees with him, or who writes any unpleasant truth about his factLon in politics, ^ays: ''The Des Moines correspondent which wanted (note the word "which") to blacken Shaw took the shares ito be worth $1,000 each which would make the capital stock of the concern $15,000,000." There was not a line or word in the correspondent's article to show that he took the shares o!.' stock ito be worth $1,000 or $.10, but the pet word of the editor of the Republican should not be this instance. He headlines to the article "that Shaw7 was said to be worth $1,310,S00, and without thinking that that was no discredit to Shaw and without stopping to read the article to ascertain the foundation for it, wrote out his characteristic editorial of de nial headed: "Lying About Shaw's Wealth." Of course the Republican will apologize to the "which corres pondent" in its next issue. CJllikVSl Ul 111!.. iVt|JUUI appfled "to him in, probably read ll)|e As forecasted In these dispatches some weeks ago. James Wilson, secre "6TJ"Wfe''aep:irtment of agriculture and a member of Roosevelt's cabinet, is being talked of for governor of Iowa. The idea is being sprung on the public by the Keokuk Gate City, the Bur lington Hawkeye, the Waterloo Report er and such standpat newspapers. It was fronj this same source that his name was suggested in 1906 as a can didate against Cummins. In all these newspapers the use of Mr. Wilson's name is as a harmony candidate, one that would unite the warring factions. Without disclosing, confidences it may be said that there are more signs of harmony in the re publican ranks of Iowa just at this time than at any other time since Gov ernor Larrabee opened the fight against the railroad domination. But this harmony is not going to come thru Secretary James Wilson as gov ernor. Mr. Wilson will not be a can didate for governor and has not and it Is understood will not give the use of his name for that office, at least at this time. The suggestion of Mr. Wilson's name bv the standpatters as a harmonizer is not for the purpose of harmony but for the. purpose of defeating the pro gressive forces. The standpatters are willing to take up a progressive such as Secretary Wilson, If' they can get his consent, and use him as a candi date against other progressives in or der to get a victory that they could claim. The real possibility for harmony In this state at this time is along the line that the primary law, anti-pass law, law to prohibit corporations using money In politics and such measures being on the statute books the fight of the progressives from this time on Is to guard those laws against repeal or Injurious amendment and to obtain ef ficiency and honesty in public office. Events are moving In that direction at this time, tlio of course there is the possibility that nothing will come of It. To say more would be disclosing con fidences. But It can be said that Sec retary .Tames Wilson Is not to be a candidate for governor. Two hundred and sixteen Iowa phy sicians have been appointed bv the state board of control as examining physicians for the state sanitarium for consumptives at Iowa City. Under the law these doctors will examine persons who desire to go to the sanitarium and will issue a certificate'as to the condi tion of tile patients. If 'thev are suf fering fro,m incipient uherculosis thev will be admitted to the sanitarium. The examining physicians receive a fee of $3 for each examination. This the patient will pay.

GIGANTIC TIMEPIECE. World's Biggest Clock to Be In New York Skyscraper. When the tower of the Metropolitan Life building in Madison square is completed, New York will have what undoubtedly will be the largest clock In the world, says the New York Her ald. That distinction has belonged for many years to "Big Ben" In Westmin ster alAiev, London, the dial of which Is twenty-two and one-half feet In di ameter, while that of the Metropolitan building clock will be twenty-flve. It will be a clock suitable In every way to be a part of the tallest perma nent structure in the world, as the new tower will be. The towe^ will be for ty-eight stories, 658 feet above the street, and the clock will occupy part of the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh floors. The middle of the dial will be 340 feet above the street. Notwithstanding the fact that the dial will be a little more thaft halfway between the street and the top of the tower, it will be far above aU sur rounding buildings. It will be fifty feet higher than the Flatiron building. The Immense size of the clock will make it easy to tell the time from a great distance. The letters on the dial will be four feet high, and the hands will be twelve feet long. No clock has -been ordered for the building yet, and it Is not known just how it will be run. Some of the lar gest clocks are run by electricity, while some of the newer ones use com pressed air. Invention to Eliminate Types. An invention to discard the whole process of typesetting In the use of printing has been perfected by Gus tavo Germani, a young Italian, who has been working upon his models for several years In Pittsburg. Application has been made for patents covering his ideas. The invention is calculated to revolutionize the art of printing, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Type forms will be formed in relief on the metallic plates used on printing press es and consist of writing on the sur face of the plate with "etching ground" and then subjecting it to the "cutting" action of acid whereby that portion of the plate which has not irrecelved the "etching ground" is eaten away, caus ing the type to stand out In relief. The reading of proof is made easy by plac ing the plate under a mirror inclined at an angle of forty-five degrees. Im perfections in the type are quickly dis cerned and can be corrected without trouble. The New Disease. First Boy—My papa's sick. Second Boy—What's the matter? First Boy—He's got insolvency.

When from any cause this vital fluid becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Boils, Pimples, etc., while they show on the skin, have an underlying cause which is far deeper—an impure, humor-infected blood supply, and until t|ii3 is corrected, and the blood purified, the distressing itching and burning symptoms will remain. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula, Blood Poison and all other blood disorders, are the result of a vitiated, pol luted circulation, and will continue to grow worse unless the poison is re moved from the blood. In all blood and skin diseases S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy. It goes down into the circulation and removes all waste matter, humors or poisons, and makes the blood pure and health-sus taining. Nothing reaches inherited taints and old cnronic troubles like S. S. S. it cures because it purifies the blood and restores lost properties to the impoverished circulation. Not only is S. S. S. a blood purifier of the highest order, but a t6nic and appetizer without an equal. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired sent free to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.

Rausch, a struggling min ister, who came to this city late last fall with his son, has been brought to light by a coincidence in names, which was responsible for a delayed Christ mas box. Rev. Rausch, deprived thru death of the companionship and noble help of his wife, finally found it nec essary to become separated from his dearest relative, a son, and litis been forced to call upon brother ministers for assistance. To add to his vicis situdes, he is without a permanent charge, belougingto a faith witli which few are affiliated. He was unable to secure a pastorate in this city or vi cinity, and lie scoured the town for something to do. He would have ta ken up clerical work, but could rut find a position. His son. Alviu, a bright lad of IT, secured employment in the Great Northern round house, and with his wages they were able to live. Just as the father and son were get ting along nicely, the latter was laid off with many others about Christmas time, and the lad was compelled to go to Texas to live with a sister, where he could be sure of living until he could lind work. In the meantime the father was com pelled to strike out for himself, and got as far as Princeton, where he stood in a fair way to secure a permanent charge. He preached his first sermon there a week ago Sunday, but thru a hitch in the negotiations he is not sure of remaining there. The story of the ministers sad life and struggles came up about Christ mas time when a package was sent to him from a relative in West Salem, III., thru the American Express com pany. The package was delivered to Rabbi Joseph Ranch, of this city, the express company thinking the package was intended for him. The rabbi, knowing that the package did not be long to liiin. returned it to the express company, and made an effort to find the owner. Thru the assistance of the Trib une, Rev. J. P.

I was unable to get relief from any of the remedies. I tried until I began using Doan's Kid ney Pills which I procured at McBride Will Drug Co.'s store and they have been of great benefit to me. I had terrible backaches and bearing down pains thru my loins, the kidneys be came very weak and their action very irregular. The secretions generally' were scant and of an unnatural color. Since I started using Doan's Kidney Pills a short time ago, I have been freed of a great deal of trouble. The kidneys act more freely and regularly and my back does not pain me nearly as much as before. I am glad I was fortunate enough to try Doan's Kidney Pills and shall continue their use until cured."

"How much will it surprise you if the name of Leslie M. Shaw is sub stituted for that of William B. Ali son on the primary ballot?" Inquires the Sac Sun. The Rockford Register says "The citizen who wants to run for office under the new primary law is in much the same pickle with the fellow who has it in mind to make a proposal of marriage—both are somewhat at a loss to know how to go at It, and aren't real sure what the outcome will be."

Editor Times-Republican: Your edi torial anenl the proposition to abolish gambling in futures merits the serious attention of our law makers as well as that of really thoughtful people all over tiie country. To expect the av erage member of congress to think and especially to expect him to seri ously consider a reform measure of any kind except under compulsion, would be unreasonable. However of the people who have time and mental capacity to think will get busy and at tend the primaries next June and some of the various meetings likely 1o' he held between now and then and insist that the candidates who ask their sup port define their positions in regard to this and other proposed reforms, we may be able at some time in the fu ture to get a body of men in congress who can initiate and carry thru reform legislation without being forced to do by the use of a olub. Of course the men who are living at the expense of the dupes who play the game In Chi­ cago iud elsewhere, will insist that the farmers will be ruined if any attempt is made to interfere with the unlimited of phantom wheat and the other imaginary commodities dealt, in at tin'1 gambling joint known as the board of trade. Suppose a tax is placed on ev ery transaction which Is closed with out the delivery of the actual wheat or other product? I don't care how the tiling is done just so there is an ef fectual end made of all gambling transactions in grain, stocks and other commodities. l.et us try to worry along for a few years without these aids to legitimate commerce and see whether universal ruin overtakes the average citizen. If no bad effects come as a result of the change we can then move to moke if permanent and: a few thousand more people will have. ing.

Once again the gaunt and cruel spectre of divorce stalks thru the so cial dooryard of Manson. This time It is mere Incompatibility of temper that is the cause for action and the case reature, who exploits her conquest^ brazenly as the harlot who sells fawning for lucre. And In this case there is no husband heartlessly and brutally turning his face away from a virtuous wife and helpless children who must bear his dishonored name to tho grave, while he loses himself in the rioutously sinful oblivion of a wasted life. But— There is a little child left mother less and fatherless In this pitiful case, just as there are children left alone The poor babies, for they are little more than babies, must grow up into the world with the shadow of tlie| divorce disgrace upon them. Innocent' little boys and girls, God alone will take care of them, for their poor, mis guided parents have proven unfit for the responsibilty which He placed up on them when He blessed them by giv ing them children. The children and the poor wronged wife alone must suf fer, while the adulterers parade their shame and the people with the incom patible tempers retire to obscurity to be devoured by the gangrene of 111 tm per. Is Manson to blame for this cancer ous condition of her society? No! Are Iowa laws to blame for this heinous offense against the sacra ment which Jesus Christ instituted at the marriage feast of Cana? Not altogether. Was strong drink or saloons the cause of all this unhappiness right here in the midst of a happy people? Not at all. Then where Is the cause? In the damnable divorce laws which have been instituted by man to set aside the decree of God Almighty. For the convenience of men in high places who tired of their spouses and did not dare to resort to murder to get rid of them, a legal murder—the divorce—was planned. It was sanc tioned by religious greedy for member ship and power, until it has fastened itself so securely upon civilization that it has become the greatest problem which that same civilization is now called upon to solve and to rid itself of. Let ministers of the gospel decry against divorce from their pulpits: let them forget, awhile, the task of "law enforcement" as they are pleased to call It, and lend their aid to tho purification of the home. Let ALL re ligions join with the Catholic and a few of the Protestant religions, in a determined crusade against divorce and the evil will soon be under con trol. Let all ministers of the gospel refuse to perform the marriage cere mony for divorced people and let all society shun absolutely and ostracize completely the divorced and the problem will soon be solved. •SHAW STRONGER THAN ALLISON.

We have not been talking politics, in fact we have been earefullv keeping still as to our personal political opinions.

It requires a fierce heat to break down the fibre of beans, and you cannot apply it. That is why beans must be factory cooked. That is why Van Camp's beans are better for you than yours. Beans are the choicest of Nature's foods when they are rightly cooked They are 23% nitrogenous—84% nutriment. They are. even more nutritious than wheat. Beans and wheat have about the same food value. But note what a difference in cost. Instead of once a week, you will serve beans every day when you learn how delicious they can be. Van Camp's pork and beans baked with tomato sauce use only the choicest of Michigan beans. The whitest, the plumpest, the fullest-grown—all selected by hand. We use only vine-ripened tomatoes, and our sauce costs US five timers what some sauce is sold for. We use seven spices to season it. That is why our beans are so mealy and nutty. All our sauce has that sparkling zest.' The beans, the tomato sauce and the pork are baked 90 minutes together It is thus that we get the delicious blend. Our beans come to you just as fresh and as savory as when they came out of our ovens. Put the can in hot water and a steaming meal is ready to serve in ten minutes.

JvV1 iih Washington, Eeb. 3.—The country is too close to the president's remarkable message accurately to measure its real importance, either politically or legis latively, or its effect upon public sen timent generally. One thing, liowevoi, Is certain: It has made a sfensatlon in congress such as that body has not experienced for many years, and fcrought its members rudely and fibruptly face to face with a situation of the utmost significance. It is noteworthy that the democrats In both bodies are elated over the president's words and that the repub licans, in many cases, are so angry that they seem unable to talk ^.bout It sanely. Every intelligent man here knows i* that it lias been the plan of this session .to adjourn late in April without enact •"i ing any general legislation of conse s! quence, totally ignoring the recom inendations in the president annual Tuessage delivered in December. 1 lie president, learning this to be the case, prepared yesterday's message with the deliberate purpose of arousing not only 'f'Vj congress, bui the country as well, and 'j|f calling attention to the legislative plan 3'- of nonaction. it is too early to know whether the |p Country is aroused, but not too early tto know that congress Is. Is. It is conceded that the message con fw~' plains the strongest presentation the president has yet made in support of §$W-Sii« policies. Its arguments are regard ed here as being clear, its general tone thigh, and its recommendations in the main Wise, all set forth in language tanore temperate and. therefore, conced kHl to be more convincing than the president at times has used. But from ithis point on there is the widest pos sible divergence of congressional op- Inion regarding it. Leaders "Fear for Party." The republican house and senate leaders, men who have evolved the do nothing policy of the present session. are now holding up their hands and 'claiming that the president did not have them or the republican party as a Whole in mind when he wrote the messages but has deliberately played directly, into the hands of democrats «.t the commencement of a presidential campaign. Much of the legislation •which the president demands say these men, is important and shoudl be .\Sg|enacted but they insist that, from a SvfparUanientary point of view, it is ab *solutely impossible to accomplish it 'll during the present session. And even &||if accomplished, they say that much of pfat would not work out the way the ^fepresldent in the message says it would. A prominent senator, a supporter of .Taft. informed the Journal correspond ^n that, in his opinion, the message v: l^voold do incalculable injury to Taft cJ/|a8suniing his nomination at Chicago, S ft'js^and in the same degree improve Bry ^,i|an's chances o:! election. 'it-rC "How?" the correspondent asked. ?FxY "It will be impossible at this session congress to enact the laws that the s^syiprestdent recommends," was the an $j(H§?fiwer, "and so, when it comes time to 'adjourn, nothing important having ibeen done, the democrats will charge il^lthat a republican congress deliberately '^vi-refused to follow the lead of a wise |f,"5 ®nd patriotic republican president. '^fwiBryan will take the stump as the dem t.* i.: ®cratic nominee, extol Roosevelt, and sfey that 'he is the only genuine heir *.wOf the Roosevelt policies. And he will ^Spread that message of yesterday in ':!every state in the union, and say that the failure of congress to respond to it t£ .ls proof of the truth of his statements. The fact that the message, in large jart, .is an appeal for legislation in ,.,,r behalf of the laboring classes makes .the difficulty ail ithe more serious from m, .political point of view." What Stirred the President. •'X-dfeii The other side of the case is pre leented In the following statement pp: made today d.v one of the president's personal friends, and in his confidence on public matters: Kg'*1, "The president is terribly in earnest, tg?.,- He intends that congress shall not. if wmz (he can prevent it waste its time dur ®'fh, .'dnfi: the present session in doing noth fL^T ing. Such an attitude he believes is 'unpatriotic and plays directly into the hands of the interests which he is at -tacking in his message. The flippant s'l* "Way .in which certain influential men 4n both houses have said that they were going to ignore all his reconi 6'- imendations, insinuating that the rec ommendations were unimportant and scarcely worth even slight attention, has fired t?he president. As for myself, it is difficult for .me to believe that this tendency to do nothing grows en tirely out of the dislike which certain of the leaders of the two houses have for the president. I make no charges, and I do not quote the president, but it does look as If the attitude which congress has assumed could not be more agreeable to the interests if 'it had been deliberately planned to please them. The talk of the possible effect of the message on the campaign is unwarranted, but even If it is to Jiave the fuil effect that some of the reactionaries profess to think it may Jiave, I hardly think the president, al tho I still am not quoting hiip, .would be deterred from doing a duty of the Mgh character of this one by any con siderations or partisan politics." Congress May Wake Up. It ^s the judgment of the man just quoted that the president, having put this matter of important legislation up to congress, that body, no matter how unwilling, will be compelled to con sider It, and try to do something. There may be a lot of swearing and pulling back, but in the end the re jNiMican congress, on the ev# of a presidential campaign, will be com pelled to act, or to give it a mighty good excuse for failure to do so. It is understood to be the president's opinion that the tilings lor which he stands are l'ar above partizanship. The tight, in his judgment, is for more than mere party advantage. It is lor the very continuance of the republic, and he is enlisted for the war. At the same time, lie thinks that his position need not lead to republican defeat. Il«' maintains that Taft stands precisely where he himself does on all major questions that arc bound up in the Roosevelt policies, and as president would try to secure their enactment into law. It" Taft is nominated, lie Is sure the republican party will be suc cessful, much more sure than lie would be if any one of certain other ambi tious gentlemen should win at Chi •cflgo. It is understood that should congress continue to manifest indifference to what the president recommends, there will be yet other messages cal.ing at tention to that indifference. in the contest which is now on, and will con tinue until one side or the other wins the victory, the president confidently expects that he will have the support of the American people, regardless ol party affiliations. And if he has that support, it goes without saying, that congress may as well gel ready to sur render, the sooner the better. CATHOLICS FAVOR TAFT. Attitude Toward Church in Philippines Has Won Their Regard. Milwaukee, Feb. 3.—.Rev. H. F. Fair banks of St. Patricks' church says: "The majority of Catholics are fav orably Inclined toward William H. Taft. His attitude toward the church in the Philippines has won their re gard. If lie should run against Bryan 1 believe he would be the choice of Catholics. "The common belief that the Cath olics of this country are mostly demo crats is a mistake. I believe that probably was true at one time. But during the McKinley campaign great numbers of them changed their poll tics.

Upon the Holderness coast of York shire, England, the North sea is de vouring 1,904,194 tons of cliff every year, and the shore line at some points scarcely remains the same for two con siecutive days. Along the English coasts and the coasts of Holland mil lions of dollsirs ase spent every year in grappling with nature's destructive ag gressions. In fact, as much money is annually spent along these coasts to keep the water out as is being annu ally spent ort the Panama canal to get the water in. In the past few years concrete has become the chief factor In the fight against the inroads of the sea. The system" used in Holland has brought out the great possibilities of concrete for sea defense construction, and the English engineers are rapidly adopt ing it. By this system the protected area comprises a series of concrete slabs independent of one another, and held in place by reinforced concrete frames. Between each slab iron ar mor is inserted and then a channel is dug to a depth of 18 inches beneath the edges of the slabs and filled with concrete.

Describing a new process for braz ing cast iron the February Popular Mechanics states: "For years steel has been success fully brazed, but the process for cast iron is comparatively new, the first work of the kind only dating back a couple of years, and that with indiffer ent results. With -the exception of the application of a chemical the process is the same as for brazing steel. Cast iron has no elasticity and is so brittle that the blow of a hammer will break it. The chemical overcomes this, so that when the iron expands under the intense heat and then contracts, the molten brass poured into the break fuses with •the cast iron. "Cracked automobile cylinders, brok en type writer frames, heavy vises, and in fact every large or small cast ing in the machinery line, can be suc cessfully repaired at prices ranging from 50 cents to $10. A broken auto mobile cylinder can be made as good as new for about $5. A new cylinder would cost $30." TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.

IE id LMiysi -ian Prescribes Laughter as Substitute For Whisky and Quinine OPTIMISM CHIEF ANTIDOTE Dr. Leavitt of Chicago Declares He Uses Laughter Treatment With Gratifying Results—How High Spir its and Cheerful Mind Tone Up Dis ease Resisting Force. An absolutely unheard of and as tounding theory was advocated re cently by Ir. Sheldon Leavitt of Chi cago. lie said that laughter is the best cure for grip. I»r. Leavitt declared that he is uSluy this treatment ou his patients will gratifying outcome and has advance it past the stage of abstruse calcula tion to the reality of a dnil.v practice says the Chicago American. Ir. Leavitt, in a sentence, think, "optimism is the antidote for the grip microbe."' This conclusion is not based on th "mind over matter" theories, nor hn it a liber of faith healing in Its f:ibri He explains it oil pathological reason lug as follows: "Therte. is in the body of every hu man being, especially every city lire person, raised in Hn atmosphere oi smoke and hurry and poor ventilation the germ of every disease that liesh is heir to. "Why, then, has not every one. ac cording to this hypothesis, typhoid fe ver, malaria, scarlet fever, etc.? "Because" the resisting force Is able to defeat the germs and keep them subjected until the resistance lags or weakens, and then the microbe which is the most powerful (this is the grip genn now because of atmospheric conditions) grips the subject, and he is conquered. "This resisting force is the nervous system, and on the strength and tone of this system Is based the degree of resistance within the body. The brain Is the center of this system, and the brain Is in strong or depicted tone ac cording as the spirits nre high, the courage strong and optimism reigning or the spirits depressed, cowardice in command and pessimism flourishing. "Therefore laughter, which keeps the spirits high and the mind cheerful, keeps the nervous system at its highest tone, makes the resistance most pow erful and curbs the disease germ, which at this season nnil in this ell matic state is most pronounced in the form of the grip microbe." In thus evolving the amazing prac tice of prescribing fun to cure grip Dr. Leavitt accepts a erni theory entirely removed from the one generally adopt ed by the medical profession. He regards the disease germ as some thing within the human body, ready to spring at the moment of depleted vigor as against the more common belief that germs live in the air, are breathed in and thus attack the body and are pass ed through breath, expectoration and even contact as a contagion. Dr. Leavitt cited an instance of one woman patient who not only was a grip sufferer, but who in addition was of low vitality through a wasting chronic ailment. She came to his of fice complaining that she was feverish, her throat ached, and her bones felt as though she had been beaten. Dr. Leavrtt found that she showed every symptom of a typical grip case. "Go out and laugh," he told the as tonished woman, who, he says, expect ed to be put to bed with flannels, on hot punches and half rations. "The woman walked out and follow ed instructions," says Dr. Leavitt. "She made herself feel cheerful and think humorous, pleasing thoughts. Within twenty-four hour! she had nothing but a tickling in the throat, which soon departed." Dr. Leavitt added that he knows of no drug that will cure grip. He said that many physicians, though not as thoroughly given to the theory as he himself, follow it in general effect by giving the patient some harmless medi cine calculated to have no effect except to make the patient think hfc is swal lowing a medical remedy, then effect ing cure by ordering sunlight and cheerful surroundings and letting na ture work out the cure on that line. CHILDREN AS TEACHERS, Chicago's Famine In Instructors Com pels a Novel Substitution. A new type of school ma'am has come to rescue the Chicago school system from the tolls of the "teachers' famine" which has been crippling its work, says a Chicago dispatch. The age of the new pedagogue averages somewhere around fourteen years. In scores of schoolrooms throughout the city of Chicago where it has been Impossible to provide substitutes for teachers who were absent^privilegeil pupils have been put in charge of the rest of the class rather than have the children dismissed to spend the day in the streets.

Six pretty St. Louis girls and their guest, a southern belle, have "put a leap year proposal up to City Comp troller Frank B.

Despite the rigid examination given by the immigration Inspectors to In coming Chinese it has been known foi some tme that the Inspectors were be ing deceived by Asiatics who alleged they were born In San Francisco, and the other day one of the schemes used to delude the Inspectors was discov ered, says a San Francisco correspond ent of the Kansas City Star. In order to prove that the Chinese did live in Sau Francisco, as asserted by them, the inspectors have been In the habit of asking the locatiou of well known buildings, streets and car lines. To these questions many of the Chinese were able to give a satisfactory an swer, and the inspectors had nothing to do except to admit them. H. H. North, United States commis Bloner of Immigration, discovered a map In an Immigrant's possession showlug Chinatown as It was before the fire, and the fraud was then made clear. It carried instructions how to answer questions regarding the plan of the city and of Important events of the past. Commissioner North believes that copies of these maps have been 6ent to China and that after having studied them the Chinese would come to the United States, assert that they were born here and demand the right to land. LESS STUDY FOR GIRLS. President of Smith College Thinks Marriage Is More Important. In the interest of early ,marriages by college girls President L. Clark Seelye of Smith college in his annual report isued the other day recommends sim plification of entrance examinations, says a Northampton (Mass.) special dis patch to the New York Times. Ordi narily the annual report receives scant attention from Smith young women, but there has been a wild scramble by 1,400 for copies of this document. "The present requirements protract unduly the period of pupilage," says Dr. Seelye, "and they have made a higher education more expensive and thereby less accessible except to the wealthier classes, who do not always possess the greatest intellectual ability. As most of the ablest men come from the poorer classes, it would be both a public and a private calamity if it should become harder for poor girls and boys of ability to gain the mental culture they desire. "It would be a still greater loss If by postponing tiie time of graduation family life should be impaired. A jcol lege education should not contribute to the modern tendency to celibacy. Phy sicians also complain that the amount of study required for admission seri ously interferes with normal physical development." Training a Bear For a Hunt. A black bear owned by P. J. Tyre of Lenoxdale, Mass.. is being systemat ically exercised and dieted prepara tory to acting the principal role in a bear hunt which Mr. Tyre proposes to hold in North Adams, Mass., at a time to be announced later, says a Lenox dale (Mass.) special dispatch to the New. York Times. Mr. Tyre is skep tical of the courage of the average gentleman sportsman. He is confident that the bear will be able to take care of himself and perhaps of one or more hunters. Mr. Tyre has written to North Adams friends suggesting that mothers be cautioned to keep their children indoors the day of the bear hunt and that farmers would do well to watch their stock at that time. Mr. Tyre's bear hunt Is not contemplated wtth any noticeable complaisance by rural residents of northern Berkshire. Odd Fishing. While walking near a pond in thej woods Bullie Ilam, who can tell the presence of an alligator by the smell of the critter, pulled off his coat and took a header under the water. While at the bottom of the pond Bullie's leg. rose to the surface and waved to the men near the shore. The warning was heeded by the men, who caught Bul lie's leg and gave it a yank that brought Bullie to the surface, and with Bullie came an alligator that measured some four feet iu length.-Apalachl cola Times.

CHAPTER SEVEN (Continuod.) lie must see somebody, some mem ber ot' the Lenox, and do something something! Ferrall! Was that Fer rall's step ou the landing? He sprang to the door and opened it. Quarrler, passing the corridor, turned an expressionless visage toward hi in and passed on, with a nod almost imperceptible. "Quarrier!" he called, swept by a sudden impulse. Quarrier halted and turned. "Could you give me a moment here In iny room? I won't detain you." The faint trace of surprise faded from Qunrrier's face. He quietly re traced ills steps and. entering Kiward's room, stood silently confronting its pallid tenant. "Will you sit down a moment?" Quarrier seated himself in the arm chair by the window, and Slward found a chair opposite. "Quarrier," said the younger man, turning a tensely miserable face on hi9 visitor, "I want to ask you something. I'll not mince matters. You know that the Patroons have dropped me, and you know what for." "Yes, I know." "When I was called before the board of governors to explaiu the matter, if ,1 could, you were sitting on that board." "Yes." "I denied the charge, but refused to explain. You rememiier?" Quarrier nodded coldly. "And I was dropped by the club!" A slight inclination of Quarrier's symmetrical head corroborated him. "Now," said Slward, slowly and very distinctly, "I 6hall tell you unofficially what I refused to tell the other govern ors officially." And as he began speak ing Quarrier's face flushed, then the features became immobile, set and in ert and his eyes grew duller and duller, as though under a smooth surface the soul inside of him was shrinking back Into some dark corner, silent, watch ful, suspicious and perhaps defiant. "Mr. Quarrier," said Slward quietly. "I did not take that girl to the Pa troons club, and you know it." Quarrier was all surface now. had drawn away Internally so far that even his eyes seemed to recede until they scarcely glimmered through the slits in his colorless mask. And Sl ward went on: "1 knew perfectly well what sort of women I was to meet at that fool sup per Billy Fleetwood gave, and you must have, too, for the girl you took in was no stranger to you. Iler name is Lyilla Vyse. I believe." The slightest possible glimmer In the elder man's eyes was all the answer he granted. "What happened." said Slward calm ly, "was this: She bet me she could so disguise herself that I could safely take her into any club in New York. I bet her she couldn't. I never dreamed of trying. Besides, she was your—din ner partner," he added, with a shrug. "Quarrier," said Siward earnestly, "what' happened In the club lobby I don't exactly know, because I was not in a condition to know. I admit it that *.is the trouble with me. When I left Fleetwood's rooms I left with a half dozen men. I remember cross ing Fifth avenue with them, and the next thing 1 remember distinctly was loud talking in the club lobby and a number of men there and a slim young fellow in Inverness and top hat in the center of a crowd whose face was the face of that girl Lydia Vyse. And that is absolutely all. But I couldn't do more than deny that I took her there unless I told what I knew, and of course that was not possible, even in self defense. But.it was for you to admit that I was right, and you did not. You dared not! You let another man blunder into your private affairs and fall a victim to circumstantial evi dence which you could have refuted, and it was up to you to say something. And you did not! And now what are you goiug to do? The Lenox club has taken this thing up. A man can't stand too much of that sort of thing. What am I to do? I can't defend my self by betraying my accidental knowl edge of your petty private affairs. So I leave It to you. I ask you what are you going to do?" "Do you mean"—Quarrier's voice was not his own, and he, brought it harshly under command—"do you mean that you think it necessary for me to say 1 knew her? What object would be attained by that? I did not take her to the Patroons." "Nor did I. Ask her how she got there. Learn the truth from her, man!" "What proof is there that I ever met her before I took her into supper at Fleetwood's?" "Proof! Are you mad? All I ask of you is to say to the governors what I cannot say without using your name." "You wish me," asked Quarrier icily, "to deny that you made that wager? I can do that." "You can't do it! I did make that bet." "Oh! Then what is it you wish me to say?" "Tell them the truth. Tell them you know I did not take her to the club. You need not tell them why you know It.

Quarrier— so did you, seated there among the governors lietween Leroy Mortimer ai*i Beiwether. It was up to you. and you did not stir!" "Stir!" echoed the other man, exas perated. "Of course I did not stir. What did 1 know about it? Do you think I care to give a man like Morti mer a hold on me by admitting I knew anything? Or Beiwether, do you think I care to have that man know any thing about my private and personal business? ^ld you expect me to say that I was In a position to prove any thing one way or another? And," he added, with increasing harshness, "how do you know what 1 might or might not prove? If she went, to the Pa -troons club. I did not go with her 1 did not see her: I don't know whether or not you took her." "I have already told you that 1 did not take her," said Siward, turning whiter. "You told that to the governors too. Tell them again if you like. I decline to discuss this matter with you. I de cline to countenance your unwarranted Intrusion Into what you pretend to be lieve are my private affairs.^ I decline to confer with Beiwether or Mortimer It's enough that you are Inclined to meddle." Ills cold anger was stirring He rose to his full, muscular height, slow, menacing, his long pale fingers twisting his silky beard. "It's enough that you meddle!" he repeated. "As for the matter in question, a dozen men, including myself, heard you make a wager, and later 1 myself was a witness that the terms of that wager had been carried out to the letter. 1 know absolutely nothing except that. Mr. Slward nor, it appears, do you, for you were drunk at the time, and you have admitted it to me." "I have asked you," said Slward, ris ing, and very grave, "1 have asked you to do the right thing. Are you going to do it?" "Is that a threat?" inquired Quarrier. showing the edges of his well kept teeth. "Is this intimidation, Mr. Si ward? Do I understand that you are proposing to bespatter others with scandal unless I am frightened into going to the governors with the flimsy excuse you attempt to offer me? In other words, Mr. Siward, are you bent on making me pay for what you be lieve you know of my private life? Is It really intimidation?" And still Siward stared into his half yelled, sneering eyes, speechless. "There Is ouly one name used for this kind of thing," adde*d Quarrier, taking a quick involuntary step back ward to the door as the blaze of fury broke out in Siward's eyes. "Good'God, Quarrier," whispered Si ward with dry lips, "what a cur yon are! What a cur!" And long after Quarrier had passed the door and disappeared in the corri dor, Siward stood there, frozen mo tionless under the icy waves of rage that swept him. Toward midnight, seated in his chair by the window, a deathly lassitude weighing his heart, he heard the steps of people on the stairway, the click of the ascending elevator, gay voices call ing good night, a ripple of laughter, the silken swish of skirts iu the corridor, doors opening and closing then silence creeping throughout the house on the receding heels of departure. For a long while he sat there listening. The cool wind from the ocean blew his curtains far into the room, where they bellied out, fluttering, floating, subsiding, only to rise again in the freshening breeze. He sat watching their silken convolutions, stupidly, for awhile, then rose and closed his win dow, and raised the window on the Bouth for purposes of air. As he turned to adjust his transom, something white thrust under the door caught his eye, and he walked over and drew it across the sill. It was a sealed note. He opened It, reading it as he walked back to the droplight burning beside his bed: Did you not mean to say goodby? Be cause it la to be goodby for a long, long time—for all our lives—as long as we live —as long as the world lasts and longer. Goodby—unless you care to say It to me. He stood studying the note for awhile. Presently, lighting a match, he set fire to it and carried it blazing to the grate and flung It in, watching the blackened ashes curl up, glow, whiten.and fail in flakes to the hearth. Then he went out into the corridor and traversed the hall to the passage which led to the bay window. There was nobody there. Moving swiftly, he walked the length of the corridor and, halting at her door, knocked once. After a moment the door swung open. He stepped forward into the room, closing the door behind him, and confronted the tall girl standing there silhouetted against the lamp behind her. "You are insane to do this!" she whispered. "I let you in for fear you'd knock again!" "I went to the bay window," he said. "You went too late. I was there an hour ago. I waited. Do you know what time it is?" "Come to the bay window," he said, "if you fear me here." "Do you know it is nearly 3 o'clock?" she repeated. "And you leave at 6." "Shall we say goodby here?" he ask ed coolly. "Certainly. I dare not go out. And you—do you know the chances we are running? You must be perfectly mad to come to my room. Do you think anybody could ha'• seen—heard jjju "No. Good night." He offered his hand. She laid both of hers in it. lie could scarcely distinguish her features where she stood dark against the bril llant light behind her. "Goodby," he whispered, kissing lie hands where they lay in Ills. "Goodby." Her lingers closed con vulslvely, retaining his hands. "I hope —I think that you Her head wa drooping. She coiil.l not control lie voice. "Goodby, Sylvia," he said again. It was quite useless—she could not speak, and when he took her in his arms she clung to him. quivering, and he kissed the wet lashes and the hot, trembling Hps aud the smooth little hands crushed to his breast. "We have a year yet," she gasped. "Dear, take me by force before It ends. I—I simply cannot endure this. I told you to take me—to tear me from my self. Will you do it? I will love you— truly, truly! Oh. my darling, my dar ling! Don't—dorft give me up! Can't you do something for us? Can't you"— "Will you come with me now?" "IIow can"— "Will you?" A sudden sound broke out In the night—the distant pealing of the lodge gate bell. Startled, she shrank back somebody in the adjoining room had sprung to the floor and was opening the window. "What is it?" she motioned, with whitening lips. -"Quick, oh, quick, be fore you are seoa! Grace may come! 1—I beg of you to go!" As he stepped into the corridor he heard below a sound at the great door and the stirring of the night watchman oa post. At his own door he turned, listening to the movement and whis pering. Ferrall. in dressing gown and slippers, stepped Into the corridor. Be low the chains were rattling as the wicket swung open. There was a brief parley at the door, sounds of retreat ing steps on the gravel outside, sounds ®f approaching steps on the stairway.. "What's that? A telegram?" said Ferrall sharply. "Here, give it to me. Wait! It isn't for me. It's for Mr. Siward!" Siward's glazed eyes stared and stared at the scrawled aud inky mes sage: Your mother is very ill. Come at once.

Uncle Sam's herd of fifteen buffa loes, which were taken from the New York zoological gardens to the Wichi ta nntional forest, Oklahoma, in the early fall, are doing well in their new home, according to advices which have been received at Washington from the supervisor's headquarters at Cache. Since leaving New York the herd has celebrated the birth of two fine buf falo calves, one of which has. been named Hornaday, after the name of the director of the New York gardens which gave them to the government, and the other Oklahoma, after the nfew state which was also just born after the herd's arrival. Keeper Frank Rush, an old western cow puncher and experienced buffalo man, who has handled the herd since It was taken from New York, says that alfalfa hay has put his charges in flue shape and that the big prairie beasts are again thriving in their na tive land. The buffaloes have an 8,000 acre fenced park in the Wichita for est, In which they can charge and snort. During the winter the animals will be fed alfalfa hay and protected from the weather and disease in a number of large shelter sheds which have been built In the inclosure. In the spring they •will be let out to roam over the Wichita range, and gradually they will be encouraged to rustle for themselves, an Instinct they have par tially lost through years of domestica tion in city parks. Government ex perts figure that in timfe they will re gain the prowess of their forefathers, who were kings of the plains before civilization made its march westward. Stork's Joke on Ship's Doctor. His fellow officers on the Majestic of the White Star line had a joke to tell on Dr. French, the ship's surgeon, when that vessel reached New York the other day, and he seemed to enjoy It as much as any one, says the New York Herald. While the ship was in mldocean a few days ago Dr. French hurried below in response to a sum mons from the purser announcing that the stork had paid a visit to the liner. He was Just in time to welcome quad ruplets that had arrived In the ship's saloon. The mother was Jennie, the youngest of the ship's cats. Three gen erations of Jennie's family, herself, her mother and her grandmother, have been on -the Majestic for several years. Jennie affects the dining saloon. She and her kittens were moved to the fore castle, but the next morning stewards found the family in the dining room, •nd there they remains 1. Weak Little Boys may become fine strong men.

Ife' Mrs. Cammack Is Still Alive The following telegram to the T.-R. from Pueblo this afternoon is to the effect that Mrs. Cammack is still alive. The message follows: Pueblo, Colo., Feb. 3.—Mrs. Cam mack is still alive, with a slight chante for recovery. Her physicians •ay that there is no improvement from day to day, and argue that she can not recover. If she does miss death she may be paralyzed for life. The body of Cammack is being held to await the arrival of a brother, Charles, from Tacoma, Wash. No inquest will be held. A most shocking trag-edy, and one that startled friends here, was enacted at Pueblo, Col., when Sherman T. Cammack, a well-known former Iowa V.^'taack's office Thursday night, after Cammack had failed to effect a reeon '.licillation. with Mrs. Cammack, who, a fortnight before, had entered suit for •"divorce on the ground of cruelty. Mr. Carniriack was exceptionally iwell known here, where his parents resided for years. The second Mrs. hCammack has met a number of her .husband's friends' here, the couple «having been here- for a short visit while on their •honeymoon, in the fall of 1906. The-first Mrs. Cammack, the :fe5J Wife Marshalltown friends knew, was -i |v«formerly Lillian Wyllis, of this city, a V- y'rfpister of Mrs. George W. Smith. The Mrs. Cammack died Dec. 23, 1905, f*Sand her body was brought here for :'V, burial. j, it Crime Highly Sensational. The crime was exceedingly sensa tional, and the Denver News of Fri day, January 31, devotes the greater .part of its first page to an account of the crime and likenesses of the prin 'l* Cipals. The News' story follows:. Pueblo, 'Feb. a.—Mad with jealousy ffl^and love for the ivomin who had re ^Vlpljradiated him, Sherman T. Cammack, well known broker, Thursday enticed -Ihls wife Into his office in the Central .block and, after a short conversation r*--'."' 'wrtth Iher, shot her three times, mort ally wounding her, and then blew out '"ibis brains. Wthile 'the wounded woman lay on the floor beside the body of her hus band she implored those attracted by the sound of the shots to tell her that he .was not dead, ajid repeated over and over: '*1 love him, I love him in spite of his :-''faults. I wish 'that I could die with him. The bullets were sweet to me, jibr I knew that he would kill hlm •eif when I was dead." r1 The shooting had been anticipated Jay Cammack's friends, to several of whom he had expressed his intention of killing the woman under certain conditions. Since 'his -wife filed suit for divorce over a week ago, Cammack "has been very friendly with her and (has been taking her to dinners and ."theaters. His friends now realize that r% he was only trying to get the oppor tunity to kill her when no one was around. .Lying on a''bed in St. Mary's .hos pital, paralyzed from the hips down and with death staring her in the face, Mrs. Cammack made a statement of the events leading up to the shooting. For a mortally wounded woman she was remarkably self-possessed and Clear-headed. Mrs. Cammack said: "Mr. 'Cammack wanted to see me 'that night to arrange about our di vorce and the alimony. I saw him and was with him for several hours in the afternoon. When we parted early WB, in the evening he asked me to go to -Ssfe supper with him, but I told him I I1N would rather not and he then asked ,jiie to see him in his office later. "I arrived at the office about 7 o'clock, but he was not there and I g&i^ 'seated .myself and waited. He came fit In in a few minutes and we started to -.talk over the divorce. "I told him I could never live with 'him again. He pleaded with me, but I told him that we had tried it so long gP* unhappily that it would be useless to try to go on any more.

"Ho pleaded time and again, until I began to cry anil asked him to stop.as It would bes useless to talk further and that it was paining: me more than I could say to hear him. After I had .said that he stood up In front of me and said: 'My little girl. 1 love you and will never be happy without you. 1 can not be happy without you.' "When he said this he went over to tlie desk and took out a revolver. 1 thought ho was going- to kill himself, and begged him to stop. Me turned toward me and ifired the revolver. put my hand lo my iiead and turned away, but I was too late. 1 could fuel the tire as It shot from the gun and felt the powder as it hit my face. I then fell and did not know clearly what was going on about me." Deed Was Planned. That Cammack had planned the deed is shown by a, statement found in his pocket. It is unsigned. The let ter was copied from a rmon delivered by the late Boh Ingersoll about twenty years ago, over the grave of a child. It follows: "My Friends—I know how vain it is to gild a grief with words, and yet I wish to take away from every grave its fear. "For in this world, where life and death are equal kings, all should be brave enough to meot what all have met. "The future has been filled with fear, stalined and polluted by the heartless past. From the wondrous tree of life the bud* and blossoms fall with ripened fruit, and In the common bed of earth patriarchs and babes sleep side by side. Why should we fear that which will come to all that is. "We cannot tell. We do not know which is the greatest blessing, life or death. We cannot say that death is not good. We do not know whether the grave is the end of this life or the door of another, or whether the night here is not ^omewhere else a dawn. "Neither can we tell which is the more fortunate, the child dying in its mother's arms before Its lips have learned to form a word, or he who journeys all the length of life's uneven road painfully taking the last few step^ with staff and crutch. "Every cradle asks us whence and every coffin whither. The poor bar barian, weeping above his dead, can answer the question as Intelligently and satisfactorily as .the robed_ pries*, of the most authentic creed. The cheer ful ignorance of the one is just as con soling as the learned and unmeaning wcrds of the other. "No man standing by the horizon of life who has touched a grave has any right to prophecy a future filled with pain and tears. It may be that death gives all there is of life. If those who press and strain against our hearts could never die, perhaps that love would never wither from the earth. "Maybe the common faith trends from out the paths, our hearts, the weeds of selfishness, and I should rather live and love where death is king, than to have eternal life where love is not. "Another life is naught unless we know and love again the ones who love us here. They who stand with break ing hearts around this little grave need ha.ve no fear. The larger and no bler faith In all that is and is to be, tells us that death, even in its worst, Is only perfect rest. "We know that thru the common wants of life, the needs and duties of each hour. Their grief will lessen day by day until at last .these graves will be to them a place of rest and peace —almost of joy." His Body at Her Feet. Except the statement made by Mrs. Cammack from what is believed to be her death-bed, little is known of the circumstances leading up to the shooting. When Joseph D. Nye, an at torney, who was one of the first on the scene, reached the room, Mrs. Cam mack was lying on the floor in an ov erturned rocking chair, apparently dy ing. Beside her, his hands .touching her skirt, was the dead body of her hus band ,a gaping wound in the side of his head and his brains spattered over the floor, furniture and walls. Three bullets struck Mrs. Cammack, two passing thru her left breast and one .taking effect in the left arm. Her spinal column was shattered, and one of the- bullets penetrated her lungs. In falling she overturned the chair, and Cammack, believing that she was dead, turned the revolver on himself. Cried to Die Also. Mrs. Cammack told of this part of the affair calmly, and then, as she re alized that her husband was dead, she broke into hysterical weeping, implor ing the men about her to tell her that he was not dead, or that she, at least, would soon be with him. When those who were in the build ing at the time of the shooting, which was a few minutes before 7 o'clock, reached tlie room where the husband and wife were lying together on the floor, they gave immediate attention to the woman, as it was apparent at a glance that Cammack was beyond all help. Mrs. Cammack was carried to «.n ambulance, and hurried to St. Mary's hospital, where the first investigation revealed that she was fatally injured. At a late hour she was seml-conr scious and able to speak, but the doc tors gave' no hope of her recovery. An attorney, hurried post haste to her bedside, took the ante-mortem state ment. Cammack's dea-.h was instantaneous, the bullet which put an end to his life shattering his head in a horrible man ner. He had placed the revolver close to iiis right temple, pointing the muz zle slightly backward. A largo hole was lorn in Ills head. The Imllct broke the bones of the en tiro skull, altho it did not mar the face, and us the body lies in the morgue the face wears a look ot per fect peace, as it' the end sought hail been accomplished, and death was wel eom»\ Depufy Coroner «'oilier took im mediate charge of .the remains and no tified relatives of (.'ammaeli's death. Cam muck came to Pueblo from Den ver five years ago, and has been the manager for the Sm.vthe Loan agency since his residence here. His first wile died shortly after he located in I'ueblo and within a few mouths he was mar ried to the glr^ Whom he .shot. Slapped Her in Public. The couple quarreled almost inces santly from the lirst few weeks of their marriage, and several sensation al scenes occurred in public, Cammack at one time slapping his wife while they were on the street. Following that, the two had several quarrels in a cafe, and about two weeks ago Cammack reached across the table where he and his wife were dining with some friends and slapped one of his companions. A little over a week ago Mrs. l.ucy Oummack tiled suit in the district court for divorce, charging cruelly. The suil was suppressed at Mrs. Cammack's request, and when it was made public caused a sensation on ac count of the prominence of the couple and the fact that the public was gen erally cognizant of their quarrels. Cumtnack at that time said that he intended to bring across bill, but later he announced that lie would let th suit go by default, lit heartbroken over the trouble with his wife, but said that they could not get along, and he thought it best to get a divorce. Has Been Drinking Hard. Mrs. Cammack is a beautiful wom an and was always surrounded by a throng of admirers. Cammack resent ed this, and many of the quarrels be tween the couple arose from the at tentions paid Mrs. Cammack by other men. Cammack was prosperous in his business here, but during the past year had been drinking heavily, and during tlie past week had been unusually dis sipated. Before his first wife was dead the woman with whom Cammack became infatuated came into bis life. Mrs. Cammack once lived in Hoston and moved to Nova Scotia before coming to Colorado. She met Cammack in Den ver and shortly after the death of his first wife they were married in that city. Mrs. Cammack's maiden name was Miss Lucy Gardner. Her sister. Miss Elizabeth Gardner, lias been a clerk in Cammack's office since last July. Sim was employed there up to today, nev er having severed the friendly relations with her brother-in-law. Mrs. Cammack is about 24 years of age. Cammack was about twenty years her senior. In spite of this they were-supremely happy for a short time. The girl is an orphan, and her hus band was all in all to her until other men, attracted by her wonderful beau ty, began to pay her attention. These attentions, tiio perhaps innocent, an gered Cammack, and the result was frequent quarrels. Friends Think Cammack Insane. That Sherman T. Cammack. who shot his wife and committed suicide in Pueblo Thursday, has been mentally unsound for about two years is the opinion of several of his Denver friends, who knew him intimately when he was city passenger agent of the Midland railroad in this city and afterward while he was connected with the Mitchem Woolen company. The death of his lirst wife, business worries, drink and jealousy of his second wife, are thought to have com bined to unsettle his mind and drive him to the brink wherd he committed the tragic act which ended his career last night. A more popular man than Sherman Cammack, up to the time of his second marriage, probably never strode the streets of Denver. But in the last .two years he is said to have practically abandoned his Denver friends, often coming to this city and remaining ing up any of his former intimates This has been the source of much comment among his former Denver friends and those who knew of his do mestic troubles, his business worries and his gradual failing, physically and mentally, have expected some tragic ending to his life. Tragedy Not Unexpected. To Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Vinton, with whom Cammack and his first wife were, very intimate while in Den ver, the news of the tragedy, tho a severe shock, was not entirely unex pected. "We have feared some terrible end ing of Sherman's troubles," sstid Mr, Vinton Friday, when informed of what had occurred in Pueblo, "for he has not seemed mentally right for al most two years. But the last time we saw him, in October, he and his wife were reconciled and keeping house, and apparently his domestic af fairs were never happier." With Colorado Midland. Sherman Cammack and his first wife, who was Miss Lillian Willis, of Marshalltown, Iowa, came to Den ver in 1896 for the benefit of Cam mack's health, he being a sufferer from consumption. Cammack soon se cured the position of 'city passenger agent of the Colorado Midland rail road. He was of a most genial dispo sition and decidedly popular among the railroad and other business men with whom he came in contact. His wife, too, was of a genial dispo sition and the Cammacks established for themselves an enviable place in •the hearts of the younger social set of Denver. He belonged to several clubs and social organizations and was al ways a hail fellow well met, with an acquaintance extending over not only the greater part of Colorado, but over a large part of 'the United States, his business bringing him Into 'Contaet witih thousands of people, who always remembered him for his geniality and pleasant methods of handling ipatrons of the road. Then With Woolen Mills,1 For half a dozen years, until October 1901, Cammack remained with the ATidland, then resigned, and later ac cepted a position with the Mitchem Woolen company. Here, too, he made friends rapidly and prosperity seemed to smile upon him. three or four days without ever look- Bell, nee Tharp, was born In Davis Four years ago in March Cammack (Continued on Eighth Page.) ft EZRA JOHNSON DEAD.

"SHERM" CAMMACK SHOOTS WIFE SUICIDES (Continued from Seventh Page.) decided ioV^o into business tor him self and bought out the brokerage business of Sm.vthc iSi Co., in Pueblo. He ami Mrs. Caiiimack rciiio\-d at once to the Smelter City and his friends here understood that his bus iness became decidedly prosperous al most fivnii the time he took charge. Adversity seems to have tlrst frowned upon Cam mack when during the next year his wife was taken ill, dying in Cripple Creek three years ago last De cember. Cammack Then a Changed Man. From the day of Ills wife's death Cammack was a changed man, say his Denver friends. He took to driuk 'TI„ he.uily and had 1 severe heniorr huge which nearly resulted in his own ilea til. Recovering from this spell of sickness, he continued his business in Pueblo, where he met a Miss Lucy jcJardnor. a Canadian, whose home at: I that time was In Boston, but who was visiting friends in Pueblo and in Den I ver. Cammack soon formed 1111 at tachment for her, and a marriage WHS arranged. Cammack ca.me to Denver, while Miss (Jardner went back to Boston to secure her trousseau. Returning to Denver accompanied by an aunt, she met Cammack and they were .married in this city October 17, 190ti, by the Rev. Dr. Coyle. Cammack, who had been making money hand over list, remained in •town a few days, playing host, wining and dining his friends then, with his new bride, returned to Pueblo to re side. 'Since that time Denver friends of the Cammaeks have heard rumors of domestic trouble, but In October last, when the couple visited this city, they 1 invited two or three friends to Pueblo on the 17th to celebrate their anni versary with them. They said they were keeping house, and everything seemed smooth enough in the Cam mack home. However, there have been vpgue rumors In Denver from time to tim that all was not well in the Cammack] family. Then, too, the financial crisis 1 Is said to have hit Cammack severely, and the combination of family troubles and business worries set him to drink ing heavily. Cammack's Family Well Known.

"Who makes the laws of the United Slates?" Moeth was asked. •'Moosefelty and Fairybanks," was tho answer. Pressed further, he said that the sen ate helped when called upon to do so.

Lisbon, Feb. 3.—King Carlos of Portugal, and the crown prince, Loui'/. Philippe, were assassinated Saturday evening, ami tin city is in a state of uproar The king's second son, the Infanta Manuel, was slightly wounded, but yueen Anielie, who strove t• save the crown prince's life by throwing her self upon him, ,vas unhurt. A band of nun waiting at the cor ner of the Praeeo do Commereio and the lua de Arsenal suddenly sprang toward the open carriage in which the royal family is driving to I lie pal ace, and leveling carbines which had concealed upon them, tired. Tiio king and crown prince, whom the attack was directed, each shot three times, and they they upon were lived only long enough to be carried to l( where they marine arsenal, nearby, expired. Almost at th'i first shot the king fell back 011 the cushions dying, and at the same moment the crown prince was seen to half rise and then sink back 011 the seat. yueeri Amelle jumped up and threw lierself toward tho crown prince in an apparent effort to save his lite at the cost of her own, but the prince al ready had received his death wound. Tho police guard tired upon the as sassins and killed two of them. The meuibi rs of tho royal family were returnii.g from Villa Vicosa, where they had been sojourning, and were on tliei- way from the railroad station to the palace. A strong guard was in attendance, because ol the re cent. uprisings in the city and the dis covery of a plot t" assassinate Pre mier Franco and overthrow the mon archy. Hut ne band of murderers had selected the most advantageous spot for the commission of their crime, lor they were eonl-ealed from the eyes of the police until the carriage had Wheeled into I'raeco de Commercio, a large sijaaro. I'.efore the police were aware of what was lappeiiing the assassins leaped to the carriage. Instantly a fusillade of shots rang out. In a mo ment all was terrible confusion, the king and crown prince being shot down without the slightest chance to save themsi Ives. Several guards sprang upon the reg icides, the number of whom is some what uncertain, and killed two of them and captured three others. One of those co.umitled suicide after being placed in .irison.

The bodes of the king and the »i,„ .Molds, operator. crown in-inee were removed from the marine hospital in two closed carriages to the reyal jKilace, the f'aco das ssidades, the late residence of the king, and escorted by municipal guards, mounted. The tli us of the assassination swept thru the city like lire thru dry grass, and half the populace is panic stricken, not knowing where the next blow may fall. There is the greatest dread for the future of the country, which seems on the verge of being plunged into the awful throes of a rev olution with all the attendant horrors and bloodshed. Thruoul. the city consternation reigns and business places are barri caded. Emanuel Becomes King. A boy king who henceforth will be known as Manuel II, is the new ruler of the k.ngdom of Portugal, and the revolution into which the Instigators of the bloody events of Saturday had hoped to plunge the country has not yet at least engulfed the nation. Franco, the dictator and real com mander of the country's destinies, whom the moral and physical might of all parties and interests have not suc ceeded in destroying, remains still the triumphant leader, not only uncon quered and unaffrighted, but retained in powe.- by the new king, at all costs to prevent further violence and insur rection and to preserve the monarchy. The only word of indication that universal order in Portugal had pos sibly -been broken came from Oporto in the form of a. rumor that a repub lic has 'seen proclaimed there, but this was not confirmed. Lisbon, from a scene of revolution ary outbreaks, seems sincerely pros trated with grief. The streets are silent and the people, wearing emblems of mourning, pass slowly and sorrowful ly, discussing the murder of the king and the crown prince: The cowardly shooting of the king in the back calls forth words of execra tion on the regicides, while the govern ment Jeclares that the murders will only strengthen the causo of the mon-j arehy and insure the fidelity of thoj For Sale Cabbage people The army apparently still isjl loyal and no organized movement of the republicans to launch a republic is under way so far as outward appear ances go. The army and navy have swogn al legiance to Manuel as -well as all the garrisons and nava.l stations in the kingdom, and tfie .new king has con firmed stlie dictatorship. Later in the day came a solemn proclamation by King Manuel II an nouncing that lie will uphold the con stitution and preserve the integrity of the kingdom. In this proclamation. which is addressed to the Portuguese people, lie says: "An abominable crime has stricken me in my heart as a son and brother. know the nation shares my sorrow and indignation, and detests the hor rible act which is unprecedented 111 historv.

We are fain to believo that tho standpyt editors have arrived, at the correct solution of what will happen should the contingency appear. Hut the editors are 'bearing evidence against themselves. Is the "vener able Nestor of Iowa republicanism" in falling physical and mental powers? Is he so enfeebled that a question arises whether lie will serve out a term, if elected? Isn't this playing into tho very net the progressives are using t® catch the unwary? Is It a good ness policy to place a man in bust* a posi­ tion he cannot fill?v The standpatter may see his own downfall in the elevation of Garst.
