"TRIBUNE'' is MAD.
Chicago Defamer of Kansas Stirre
Up by Leedy's Whack


The Chicago Tribune, the most hate
full and hated enemy of Kansas in Chi
cago, contains a column editorial in re-
ply to Governor Leedy'S message, in
which he warmed the ears of the semi
barbaric Porkopolis by the lake. This
is part of what the Tribune says:
THE initial message of Johnny Leedy
the governor, to the assembled law
makers at Topeka dissipates all these
dreams that responsibility could invade
the ranks of Populism in any guise.
Leedy rises to the full stature of Pop
ulist absurdity. He walloWs in all the
choice puddleS of Populist anathema
and spatters it Unfortunately on all
the traditional opponents of the simon
pure Populist doctrine. 1t would be
invidious to specify any special object
of attack, for his incandescent TRADE
stops at nothing short of the universe
outside of Kansas in distributing it's
scorn.
Naturally Chicago comes in for a
liberal dose of Ieedy invective, and the
city is spurned because of its semi
semi barbaric sQualor at the base of its
social life 1t is warned moreover,
to desist from its 'puny and presumptu-
GUS criticism of Populists, or, to use
Leedy'S words those whose shoe
strings they are not worthy to unIoose.'
This is probably an inadvertence on the
part of Leedy, for the awful simplicity
of POpu1ism is somewhat inconsistent
But even so, there seems to be abund-
ant cause for the Leedy outburst
against Chicago in particular. Chicago
has ever shown a consistent hostility to
Leedy. or LeedyiSn, especially that
form of Leedyism which prompted him
q few weeks ago to assert he would
like to blow blood in the ears of capt.
talists-' a man who is hankering to
perform any such unpleasant operation
could not be regarded as an amiable
or desirable resident"

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
the Cause.

Heart trouble, at least among Amer
leans, are certainly due to the excite
ment and worry of American business
life it is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is incura-
BILE; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart if af-
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action:
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tateS and WeakenS the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use, after meals, of some safe pleasant
and effective digestive preparation like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements, in a pleasant, convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular. per-
sistent use of Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble, except cancer of stom-
ach.
Full size packages of the Tablets sold
by most druggists at so cents or by
mail from Stuart Co. Marshall, Mich
ed free. Address Stuart Co., Marshall,
Mich.

Cincinnati, Jan. IA special to the

Soon after the landing of the steamer
Delaware yesterday and the steam
launch Chere Annie formerly the Puz-
Ie) of New York, lying half a mile above
the cutter Colfax, suddenly started out
of her dock running down past the cut
ter with all steam up. She appeared as
if moving up to the dock where the
Three Friends and Dauntiess were tied.
Instantly the cutters men were piped
to quarters, anchors were tripped and
in a second the smokestacks were belch-
Ing smoke as she started in pursuit.
Crowds at the banks cheered the
Chere Annie as she sped along whistling
defiance to her pursuer. After follow
ing the little launch for mile down
the river the cutter stopped, swung
around and came back to anchor here,
amid the shouts of people ashore.

TOM WATSON ON BRYAN.
Self Oblivion, Passion and Pathos
Needed to Make First Glass
Orator.

Atlanta, Jan. 15.-In a signed criti
cism Thomas E. Watson. pays attention
to Mr.. Bryan as a lecturer. He writes:
without entering into any discus
sion of the merits of the Bryan lecture,
we must beg to enter our dissent from
the proposition that Oratory as a nat
ural gift submits to the laws of locality
or literary geography. When an ora
tor devotes his life to one department
of speaking he may not eminently sue
coed in others if he comes to them late.
This is because his mind may have ac-
quired a certain rightly, want of sup
pleness to bend itself to different tastes,
channels of thought and modes OF ex-
preston; but we cannot think that one
who is really endowed with the gift of
eloquence would find himself bereft of
it simply because he stepped from the
hustings to the lecture hall.
"a man who succeeded on a great oc-
casion, as Mr.. Bryan did at Chicago,
cannot be denied the glory of oratory.
What the exact measure of that power
in him may be, it is perhaps too early
to say. Up to this time he has had
speeches-speeches committed to MEM
ory In his eXtemporaneous speeches,
however he has not as yet displayed
any exceptional powers beyond those
of physical and mental endurance. He
has not yet shown much creative power,
none of the Undergraduates and rapt
inspiration of the improvisation; nor has
he yet shown that he possesses pathos
HSSS 4udll|ACH AC Al1oS Ae- e - -
he will take his place in the front rank
of orators without challenge He is
vet young, and his mind will perhaps
grow for twenty years yet, and every
quality of oratory of the very highest
class may be developed as his genius
expands If Bryan, however, should
eventually fail to reach supremacy as
an orator, he will owe his failure to the
lack of certain qualities which he has
not yet Observation-Disclosures pas
sion, the genius of spontaneous crea-
ton in the heat of speaking, deep pas
sion which melts and self-oblivion
which makes the audience think of the
subject rather than of the orator"
