The Laxative Gum Drop.

Many people suffer from
Indigestion without knowing
that they are so afflicted. They
get up in the morning with a
bad taste in their mouth. They
feel cross and out of sorts. They
are nervous and i'll at ease.
The doctor tells them that they
have malaria and they take
quinine without limit. But it
does them no gUo@. What they
need is a gentle laxative, some
thing that will cleanse their sys-

the Laxative Gum Drops will
certainly do if they ale ken

The Latter Proposes to "Get Even" With
the Kansas Man.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 9.-The entente cor
dale in third party ranks was rudely dis
turbed Saturday evening by stormy
scene in a ho,,l lobby, in which the princi-
pals were Congressman Jerry Simpson and
A. J. Streeter, of Illinois. The latter has
come here fo- the express purpose of de-
feating Simpson for senator in return for
the sockless statesman's aid of Palmer in
The sensational contest in Illinois two years
ago, when Streeter, the third party LEAD ;,
was a candidate for senator, with chances
of success as compromise candidate.
Came Near Using their Dukes"
Simpson upbraided Streeter for his action
and denied sending a telegram which the
Illinois man produced, signed by him and
urging Palmer's election as the man most
likely to subserve third party interests.
Streeter intin pted that the truth was wide
ly at variance with Simpsons denial, and
personal encounter was prevented only
by the interference of bystanders. The occur
renee is apt t. operate against the election
of third party man as senator fr ON this
state.
Weaver Reinforces Streeter. CIT s
General Weaver arrived here today. He
will join Streeter to fight Jerry Simpson or
the election of any Democrat to the United
States senate. Weaver will not be here
long, but will lay the law down to the
Populists on the senatorial matter.
Streeter was assauluing Jerry Simpson
right and left yesterday. His room at the
Chesterfield was visited by many Populist
members, to whom he has exhibited letters
and kilograms proving Simpson to be
working in the interest of the Democrats.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 9.-Grand Chief Ar

Engineers, held conference here yester-
day with a committee representing the en-
gineers of the Western Maryland rail
way, whose demands for increased pay

agreed to confer with President Hood with
the view of effecting an agreement. In
case none is reached it has been deter

Demands of the Brotherhood
1t is claimed that the engineers obtain
less pay and are required to do more work
than on any the roads with which the
Western Maryland connects. The demands
will be made that passenger engineers re-
ceive cents per mile and the freight en-
gineers 81 cents and that the latter shall
also receive . cents per hour for all over
twelve hours'work. The road will also be
asked not to employ firemen as engineers.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 9-Within the past
twenty-four hOIrs the three Populists in
the legislature have received instructions
from the leaders of the party, presumably
from Washington, not to vote for a Dem
ocrat for United States senator under-any
circumstances. 1t is also stated that the
Populists in Wyoming and California have
received exactly the same instructions,
with the view of preventing the Democrats
from securing an absolute majority in the
senate. By Lolding out the Populists hope
to get into n position to force the Dem
ocrats into promising some radical legisla-
ton on silver.
Two of Them Will Obey.
1t is known that two of the Montana
Populists are intending to obey the request
which has come from the east, but the
third, Beecher, has made no promises, and
because he is in position to elect a Dem
crat a great deal of worry is felt as to his
attitude. He walked out of the house with
the Democrats last Tuesday and has more
than once said that he would vote for
Democrat for senator. The Republicans
are hard at work trying to get him to
promise to be neutral at least for the first
few ballots, but he has sudd My taken to
keeping his own council and saying moth
ing one way or the other.
just What the Situation Is.
The joint ballot for senator must begin
tomorrow. That was the decision in the
Dubois-Claggett case in Idaho, where the
state law is the same as it is in this state.
The Democrats have thirty-fve members
of the legislature, the Repu blicans thirty
two and the Populists three, and there is
one seat vacant which either Leech, Rep,
or Hamilton, Dem, is entitled to, the case
being a contested one. The Democrats
must have Hamilton or Populist. With
Hamilton they do not want a Populist. II
the Leech-Hamilton case takes the usual
course neitle4 man could vote until the
senatorial case was settled.
If the three Populists vote with the Re
publicans on the contest and seat Leach,
they can dictate to both parties If they
vote to seat Hamilton their glory will be
departed. So the probability is that they
will vote for Leech. The Democrats talk
of reporting the case without hearing testi-
mony and if Beecher will vote with them
they could carry their point, but if BeecLsr
votes for them he swamps his own party as
far as the ba--lce of. power is concerned.
The question now is in view of the above,
and also of orders from headquarters,
"where is Beecher at"

Preparing for Appreciated Strikes.

The cOmpany'S actions are possibly due
to strikes which are apprehended duriI 9
the Worlds fair. The more formidable
the labor organization the better it is
enabled to demand an increase in pay or
successfully conduct a strike. BY non
unionizing their force of men a general
strike is utterly impossible. When it is
considered that the Pennsylvania road, the
greatest in tie world, employs thousands
of men it can be seen how long the COM
pany may be in successfully wedding out
their union men.
Other Railways Join the Move.
A telegram from indianapolis says that
the Vandalia railroad has determined to
follow the example of the Pennsylvania
and discharge all freight handlers who re
fuse to leave their unions B. F. Kennedy,
chairman of the grievance committee. says
that City Freight Agent Perry, who dis
charged the men Saturday, says that all
the roads have determined to pursue d
similar policy, and that determined stand
is to be made against every class of organ
lied labor. The unions held meetings yes
terday, but refused to say what conclusion
had been reached or what policy was to be
adopted.
