popularity of Hires Rootbeer is, be-
cause it surpasses all other prepare
tons for making delightful home
beverage. 1t is very easily prepared,
and if the plain directions are fol-
lowed, it will always be good.
Every member of the family, from
the baby to the grandfather, can
enjoy this excellent summer drink.
Children especially delight in Hires
Rootbeer. Its preparation interests
them, and its use does them good.
In thousands of homes, Hires Root
beer that mother made" will be
among the happiest recollect1ons of
childhood.
What others say will carry con-
viction:
A DOCTOR Is SURPRISED WITH THE RESULTS.

bought a package OF your koot-
beer, and after making it accord
ing to directions, found 1t a very

This is typical weather for root
beer drinking. Drink all the other
beverages and you will die of disap-
pointment if you don't try Hires.
Just sample some once when right
ly made, and we know the result

cal temperance than many people

by the most cautious and con-
sentative temperance people. The
most scrupulous abstsiner can enjoy
it and recommend it to others as an
agreeable and healthful substitute
for the strong drink which he OPP
poses.

made. The announcement to the mob
that the prisoners had been taken to

KyI., Hunton aad Butts Before ths sen-
ate COMMITTEES.
WAsHIEGros, May 28.--The commit
tee to investigate the charges OF bribery
in the senate Were on hand promptly at
10 a. m. in the room OF the committee
ON privileges and elections. Senator
Hunton was at the meeting AZ witness
and remained with the committee about
half an hour, and after he emerged
from the committee room his son, Epha
Hunton, Jr., was called in and asked
to state what he knew Of the alleged ef-
fort TO bribe his father. He was de-.
tanned only about is minutes. Both
witnesses were cautioned by Senator
Gray against giving the newspapers
any report OF the proceedings. the sena-
tor remarking that when this branch of
the inquiry should be concluded the
proceedings would all be made public.
Certain Butss was the Man.
Both Senator Hunton and his son
stated that G. w. Buttz was the man
who approached senator Hnnton. The
narrative did not differ materially from
the story heretofore given 10 the press
by Senator Hunton.
Senator Kyle was before the commit
tee for more than an hour and was in
formed that he would probably be
called again. BE put the committee in
possession Of all the information in his
power, stating that he was first APP
preached by Buttz about two months
ago with the proposition to vote
against the tariff bill and receive pay
for his vote, the amount offered being
$4,000. In reply to q question Senator
Kyle said he was confident Buttx repre-
sented other parties, and the PROPOSE
tion, IL it had been accepted, would
have been made good.
Busss ON the stand.
Major Buttx was the principal wit
ness during the afternoon. He was &C
companied by his attorney, Il. Fl. Nc
Gowan. Buttz was before the COM
mittee for about an hour and was
excused with the request that he be In
attendance again in the morning. He
said when he left the committee room
that he had been sworn to secrecy and
could not reveal word OF the proceed
ings, but fragmentary references to the
proceedings leave little room for doubt
that when the report on Buttz' testi-
mony Il published IL will make very
racy reading. lie first demanded a
Transcripts Of the testimony OF preced-
ing witnesses, but compromised By &C.
cepting proposition that the reporter
should read portions ofithe testimony Of
the other witnesses which reflected
upon him In any way. He explicitly
denied any intention on his part
TO Cerrupt ths ssnators.
II 10 also understood that he politely
declined to answer some OF the more
pertinent questions put to him by mem
bers Of the COMMITTEES. Other wit
nesses Of the afternoon session were
Duncan McFarlane. Senator Kyle's
clerk, and James w. Walker, an at
torney OF this city, who gave Buttz
letter 10 Epha Hunton, Jr. Mr..
Walker stated that when Buttx had
asked tok . letter to Mr. Hunsqn he
