EN-SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN SHEER
MAN, who "a year ago now was cited as
an authority on matters of govern
mental policy as he sat on the right
hand of the president. in an interview
Just prior to his departure for West
India cruise Yesterday. upheld the
course of Gen. Miles in exploding the
rottenness of the army department
during the war. and said that had the
general failed to bring the notice of
such matters to the attention of the
government. after having knowledge
OF them. he would have been derelict
in duty. The eX-secretarv also de-
clared again against the administra-
ton : policy in holding the Philippines
"a not only an expensive burden that
the United States was not called upon
to bear. but as inconsistent with the
object of the war and contrary to the

THE MOST REMARKABLE.
True Statement on Record-It is Made by
an Indiana Man.

He has spent 5000 in patent
| medicines and doctor bills without
! being cured. One dollars worth OF
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids did the work.
Many of our people are interested in
the story of Josephus Osbourn. who
| lives at 925 Jackson street, Colum bus
Ind. Listen to the repetition of his
story and perhaps you will find you
have had n similar experience: For
the past three years l have been
afflicted with kidney complaint. My
symptoms were as follows: Fearful
kidney backache, urinary disturbances
and nervousness from WHICH l was
unable to sleep well at night, which
produced a general broken down con-
dition of nv health. NV condition
was so serious that | would lose two
weeks at time from work. | grew
so weak that / felt unable to perform
my days work. l have taken several
kinds of Kidney Pills and all the
various kinds of kidney remedies l
ever heard OF read about without
being benefited in the least. l had
been treated by doctors in this city
and by specialists for kidney and
bladder trouble without getting any
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and nv wife
advised me to give them trial. l
got n sample package and used them,
being greatly relieved in three days
time. Up to. date / have taken less
than n dollars worth of Kid-ne-oids
and l consider myself cured. During
the continuation of my illness / have
spent fully $500 in doctor bills which
amounted to nothing. This makes
quite a striking comparison which is
worth your time and considerations
My wife declares that l appear like
new man since my cure, that | am
more pleasant and agreeable and not
so irritable: you may also understand
that our hearts are filled with thank
fulness to he relieved from this great
burden which made our home miser-
able and unhappy"
To confirm the statement of Mr..
OsbOurn we want YOU TO write him
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, enclosing
stamp. He is a greatful man and
will he glad to write you how much
he was benefited by their use. Do
not confound Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
with any kind of kidney pills: they are
not pills at all, but yellow tablets and
are put up in wooden boxes which
sell ut 30 cents box and are never
sold in bulk. Morrow's Liver-Lax
will cure constipation and sells at %
cents a box. Both Of these remedies
are for sale 10y all firss-class drug

The retirement of Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas, from the democratic house
leadership, will occasion no regret in
the party throughout the country.
His senseless stand against Gen.
Wheeler and other memb ers of the
house who enlisted in the war retain
ing their seats in the body they had
honored by those very acts of patriot
ism and military gallantry, was Meth
er Just in the broad sense nor polite
in Il party sense. and Mr.. Bailey has
reason to blame none but himself that
his party colleagues declined to follow
his leadership in such plan of action.
The American people love their SOL
diers, and they have no patience with
any other American, no matter how
exhalted. who would seek to disfran-
chise Il citizen of the republic in any
of his rights and honors because he is
a soldier. When Mr.. Bailey fought
Gen. Wheeler he measured his infiu-
ence with another great democrat who
him in the estimation of his
party and of his countrymen.

A QUIET LITTLE GAME.
How Three Men We're Called
Down,

A good story is being told on Henry
Smith, of the COrraIlGOs ranch, and
one which is vouched for AS being
true.
Henry, as a great many people know,
is very versatile. For d mum Der OF
years he travelled with Buffalo B1ll's
show giving exhibition of lariat throw
ing and riding bucking bronchos. He
soon tired of this however and went
inlo the cattle business in the
"Panhandle. At one time he was
COW puncher in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and is now a resident of Mexico.
Henry's bravery is known all through
the Sierra Madre country and he ID re-
garded as handy man with gun.
About there weeks ago Henry rode
into the town of Casas Grandes and
Bob Lees canteen. Smith wandered
in to the bar and after being cordially
" welcomed by the proprietor of the
place and the hangers on, he was ask
ed to take part In poker game which
was going on In room which adjo1n-
ed the bar. Smith did not know the
men who were playing, but took a
hand and brought some chips. There
were four in the game including
Smith.
The deal was up to the man on
SIN this right and it was q Jackpot.
Smith opened the pot for what it was
worth, ten dollars, and placed another
ten dollar bill on the table to the right
of him. In making the discard he &C
cidentally dropped one of his cards on
the floor. He stopped over and picked
it up from the floor. When his eyes
rested on the table, he saw that his
ten-dollar bill was gone. Quietly pull
ing his six shooter from his belt, he
said, "You fellows stand up against
the wall and turn out your pockets"
The three men stood against the wall
as ordered and when the man who had
sat next to Smith emptied ont, the bill
was forthcoming.
Smith then ordered them to leave
the saloon at the point of ais gun, and
it was afterwards learned that they
pulled out for parts unknown that
night.

In conversation with a fireman on

Sixteen big engines will be required to
do the work that q small engines have
been doing. This means, OF course
much longer trains and great deal
