Z" death IN
THE POT.

Death in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
d1sused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end of the land to the other. But If was
soon forgotten. The moral of it is, that
the purest of food, put into a foul vessel,
instead OF mlnistering to life may be-
come minister of death.
II the stomach Is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fulfuess after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
Of huttering and sinking sensations, pal
pltation, dizziness, ringing IN ears, sour or
bitter Tisings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease in the digestive or alinentary tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes 1t a medical maxim in exploring
the causes of obscure diseases to % start
with the stomach" It is upon this
principle that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery effects so many and such
remarkable cures. It cleanses the storu-
ach and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the action of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purified blood. It strengthens the di-
gestive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. It carries off the poisonous, effete
matter. In this way II re-establishes
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stomach's
condition.
All medicine dealers sell Golden
Medical Discovery" If they Try to
substitute something else, it is because
something else" pays better. Insist
on Golden Medical Discovery" if you
want to be cured.

Why the Russian Ruler Is Pleading
For Peace.
THE PEOPLE ARE CRUSHED
PRESENT POLICY WILL LEAD TO
ANARCHY.
Gloomy Picture of the Present and
Future Painted by the Czar-Im-
peria1 Policy of Expansion Brings
Distress to All-Discontent Of the
Multitude.

New York, Dec ia dispatch to the
Times from London says: At the great
public conference held Sunday after
noon in st. James hall, favoring an in
! ternationaI ratification Of the car
peace proposition, William T. Stead
said that, though he could not give the
exact words of the car in a recent in
telrview, the substance of what his ma
jesty said was as follows:
Il look out over the world; 1 study
our civilization, and 1 do not find it
very good. L see nations all engaged
| in Selling or trying to seize all terri
tory not yet occupied by European
powers.
Il look at the results. They do not
seem to me to be good.
For the native races what does i'm
perial expansion mean? Too often
opium, alcohol and all manner of foul
diseases, a great gulf between the gov
erned and those who rule, and crushing
taxation upon the natives for the
blessings of this civilization.
this civilization.
And for the nations who seize, what
does it mean? A continual increase of
suspicion, jealousy and rivalry; the
heaping up of fleets and armies in or
world, with the result that the army
and navy are swallowing up more and
more millions that should be used for
the welfare of the people and the ad-
vancement of the world.
ION top are very few rich and COM
Portable. Down below, with an ever
increasing pressure of taxes for arma-
ments, is the great mass of poor peo-
pie, whose position is not very good.
There is an ever-increasing multitude
of those below, with their breeding
discomfort ripening into socialism and
developing into all kinds of anarchy.
mo, 1 do not find our civilization
good. Why do we make it so? We
have at the present moment arrived at
this stage that we put all our very
best manhood in the army. So much is
this the case that we mobilize the whole
fabric of the social community.
"War has become so expensive that
TO state can stand the strain of pro-
tracted war without having to look
bankruptcy in the face, and we are so
perfecting our modern weapons of de-
struction that no army can go into the
field without losing so large a proper
ton of it's officers that when the war
is over, even if that army be victorious,
the war will have inflicted irreparable
loss on the country. What with dis
connection caused by modifying; what
with empty excheQuers; what with de-
cimated ranks of leading and govern
ing men, L see nothing before any ma
ton but terrible heritage of revolu-
tionary anarchy"

FOUND DEAD IN HIS WAGON
DAIRYMAN sANDBERG's EXIT
FROM THE STAGE OF LIFE.
An Inquest VIII Be Held Today
Indications Are That Death Was
From Natural Causes.
John W. sandberg, a Swedish dairyman

John w. Sandberg, a Swedish dairyman
living at Popperton in the head of Dry
canyon. two and one-half miles up from
the city, was found dead in his dairy
wagon at 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
the team having drawn him from the city
to his home, where the discovery was
made. There are no indications of foul
play, although an inquest will be held
at 10 o'clock this morning by Justice c. B.
Stewart at the Jos. VIM. Taylor estab-
lishment, the body having been brought
down last evening to the undertakers.
Chief Pratt was notified of the death
by a telephone message at Il o clock yes
terday morning and sent up the patrol,
with officers Armstrong, Davies and
Shannon. Justice Stewart went up later.
Ira Wood, Sandberg hired boy, said ne
saw the team come up to the place about
10 O'clock but the driver was not in
sight. He heard groans coming from
inside the. covered wagon, but did not look
in, thinking that Sandberg was intoXi-
Gated, as he had been drinking heavily of
late. Wood unhitched the team and
drove it to the barn. Mrs. Link. a woman
living at the house, went to the wagon q
few minutes later and discovered that he
was dead. The body was warm and life
must have Just fled, since Wood is quite
positive he heard sounds issuing from the
man when he unhitched the horses His
head was considerably bruised, Mr.. Wood
said, but this was explained by the fact
that he fell on the ice Sunday and re-
ceived some injuries. AT first it was be-
lieved that his watch was missing. but
last night Undertaken Taylor said ne
found it in his clothes. Sandberg left for
the city at $3.50 Sunday afternoon and
should have returned at $50 that night
His absence over night was attributed to
his getting on a spree which he is said TO
be in the habit OF doing. His wife came
down on the street car at $50 this morn
ing to hunt him UP and returned about
ten minutes after he was found dead
in the wagon.
The circumstances indicated very
clearly a case of lcoholism. causing
death. There is nothing to indicate foul
play. As to the bruises on his head. Mr.
any.
An inquest will be held at 10 o'clock this
morning in charge of Justice Stewart
Mr.. Sandberg was 81 years of age and
was fairly well known in the dairy bust
ness.

H0BS0N KISSING CRAZE.
Lieutenant Accommodated 2e1 Kan
sas City Damsels Yesterday.


Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 1s.-Lieuten-
ant Richmond Pearson Hobson, U. s.
n, was the central figure in an oscu-
latory carnival at the Coates hotel this
afternoon that clearly overshadowed
any of the kissing in which the gallant
Alabaman has figured since his return
from more serious duties at Santiago.
When Lieutenant Hobson arrived
from Chicago at o'clock this after
noon he was cheered by several hun
dred persons who had gathered at the
railway station. A reception commit
tee awaited with carriages, and along
the route from the station to his hotel
the Merrlmac'S commander was recog-
nlzed and cheered. The streets in the
vicinity of the hotel were crowded. In
the corridor of the hotel, supported by
the local reception committee, Lieuten-
ant Robson received and shook hands
with several hundred men. The more
exciting part of it came a few min
utes later, when the lieutenant was
escorted TO the parlors on the second
floor, where over 400 women. young.
old, handsome and plain wanted to
greet the popular hero. Most of them
came to be kissed and 267 of them by
actual count were not disappointed.
Some of the more matronly of them re-
ceived cordial handshake and were
passed up the line, but the most of
them who showed the least inclination.
were embraced and kissed
Tonight Lieutenant Hobson divided
honors with Major General Adna
Chaffee, they being the guests of honor
at the annual banquet of the Kansas
City Commercial club.
