Dutrow, merchant of that town, furnished
them with all the necessary salable articles,

and left Rollins indebted to Mr. Dutrow.
Warrants have been sworn out against

w. T. BAKER FOR MCKINLEY.

He Was Formerly Prominent as a
Democrat In Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 2S.-Wiliam T.
Baker, ex-president Of the Chicago board of
trade and of the worlds fair, and one Of
the leading democrats Of Chicago, has made
an open statement of his purpose to vote
for Mckinley this fall. In letter made
public today he makes a powerful attack
against Bryan, whom he says personifies
16 to I and lawlessness, and is the greatest
'fmperialist" since Napoleon Bonaparte.
Mr. Baker has been we'll known in the
past for his convictions in favor of free
trade and for his aggressive interest in the
work OF the National Tariff Reform
League. Mr.. Baker says, however, that
even the democratic doctrine of free trade
has been abandoned for principles that
mean restriction of trade. and, through
the populistic attitude on trusts" a ''limi-
tation OF all successful enterprise within
state lines"
The letter follows:
Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, Chairman Republican
National Committee:
"My Dear Sir: The democratic organiZa-
ton has passed under the control of public
enemies. and no man who holds to the ira
ditional doctrines Of the party is under the
slightest obligation to follow the present
leaders.
THE policies that guided the party from
Jefferson to Cleveland have been sidetrack-
ed for the isms of populists and anarchists
Even free trade has given way to Bryan's
promise that he will recommend such addi-
tional legislation may be necessary to
dissolve every private monopoly which does
business outside of the state of it's origin.
This would mean under populist inter-
probation and control the limitation of all
successful enterprise within state lines; not
a captivating program to suggest at the
moment when American commerce is be-
ing pushed beyond the seas.
The democratic crusade against eXpan-
sion. termed imperialism, is an absolute
sham, silly and hypocritical invention to
divert attention from their revolutionary
purposes. Expansion has been the policy
and practice of the American people since
the pilgrims landed on Plymouth rock, and
man who understands the real spirit of
our institutions can be frightened by the
phantom of Imperialism which Bryan has
conjured up for this campaign only.
Since Napoleon Bonaparte there has been
no greater imperialist than Bryan himself.
His will is the law of the party that sup
ports him, and, If elected, he would en-
deavor to rule the entire nation with the
same iron hand. Napoleon deluged Europe
in blood to reach throne, and Bryan
would not hesitate to wreck every industry
in the land to attain the presidency.
This talk of Imperialism is like the rattle
of the snake that hurts nobody. 1t is the
head of the reptile that is dangerous, and
there you will find the free silver bite.
"The paramount issue is exactly the same
now that it was in 1896 1t is 16 to 1 and
lawlessness. personified In Bryan versus
the gold standard and the security 1t
brings. / shall vote for Mckinley as rep
resenting the latter.

Senator Nelson Lost Nothing.

Mention was made in The Star several
days ago that the Washington residence of
United States Senator Knute Nelson of
Minnesota, No. GAL East Capitol street, was
entered by burglars recently and ransacked,
but that until the senator was heard from
it could not be told whether or n3t anyt hi1 4

In reply to a letter from Inspector Board
man, Mr.. Nelson gave list of the personal
property In his Washington residence. To-
day the house was thoroughly examined by
Detective Sam Brown. who ascertained that
nothing had been carried away by the In
truders. A large wash boiler filled with
silver. which had been seCreted by It's ovn-

Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat,
eggs or other wholesome food and this claim has
been proven by actual experiment, which any one
can perform for himself in the following manner:
Cut hard boiled egg into very small pieces, as 1t
would be IL masticated, place the egg and two or
three of the tablets In a bottle jar containing
warm water heated to 9s degrees (the temperature
of the body and keep 1t at this temperature for
three and one-half hours at the end Of which
time the egg win be completely digested 1t
would have been In the healthy stomach Of a
hungry boy.
The point Of this experiment is that what
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will do TO the egg in
the bottle 1t will do to the egg meat in the
stomach and nothing else will rest and invigorate
the stomach safely and enectualy. Even lit
tie child take Stuarts Tablets with safety and
benefit II its digestion is weak. and the thousands
Of cures accomplished by their regular daily use
are easily explained when 1t is understood that
they are composed Of vegetable essences, aseptic
pepsib, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingles
with the food and digests it thoroughly. giving the
overworked stomach chance to recuperate.
Dieting dyspepsia, neither do pills
and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and
infame the intestines.
When enough food is eaten and promptly digest
cd there will be constipation. nor in fact will
there be disease Of any kind. because good dges-
ton means good health in every organ.

Marietta Improvement Assc

Will no tthe citizens of Marietta aid
the Street Commissioner and Improve
ment Association in keeping the city
clean? The corners at Third and Put
nam and Second and Putnam streets
are unsightly because of the papers
(whole and partly burned) which col
lect there. The efforts Cf the fire de-
partment and others interested in
these corners are spoiled by the care
lessness of their neighbors. The pro-
prietors of the Bellevue have restored
their little park, but the merchants
opposite ruin its appearance by throw
ing their rubbish en- the point. The
boxes and papers from the shoe store
on Butler street and other stores on
Front street blow from place to place,
and discourages those who are anxious
to do their share in beautifying Mari
eta.
Let each individual feel that he or
she is personally responsible and at
tend not only to the rubbish, but see
that freshly cut grass is not thrown
into the street just after it has been
swept. Press Gem. NJ |. A.

The Petrified Forest.

Washington, April 30-Public inter
est has been once mere quickened in
the petrifed forest of Arizona, and
-here appears to be every likelihood of
its being withdrawn from entry, by
Congressional action, for the purpose
of creating it into a National Park.
Probably no place on the American
continent possesses more interesting
scenic features or instructive geolog-
ical fields than this wonderful forest
Of Arizona Territory. In fact, the pet
rified forest in Egypt, it is asserted
cannot compare with it.
The forest contains an area of ten
miles square, in the northwestern Sec
ton Of Apache County and only a few
miles from the town of Holbrook. Ad-
amana. small settlement on the San
ia Fe Railroad, is the nearest railway
station, from which a majority of
sightseers go to the forest. 1t is nam
ed after an old man, Adam Hanna, the
only inhabitant noted in its immense
vicinity. upon whom falls the duty of
guiding and shelterIng in his humble
home those desiring to see the curios-
tiles of the forest. Were 1t not for the
small sums the old man picks up in
this way, it would be impossible for
him to exist for the land is wholly
unsuitable for grazing, nor is it cap
able OF supporting any vegetation
whatever The bed of the forest is a
vast desert of sandstone and worthless
except as government reservation.
Professor Lester +. Ward, paleonto-
logist of the Smithsonian Institution
who has recently returned from an ex-
animation of the forest. says that after
leaving the station one gradually as
cends a slope to a height of 5000 or
5000 feet, crossing over canyons,
gulches and rayines from twenty to
fifty feet deep. The region leading up
to the principal mineral fields is ex-

enthusiasm among the teachers of the
city who paid her for her services and
who were well pleased with her work.
The request of the teachers Of the
High School for half day sessions dur
ing hot weather was not granted,
Miss Bierschwal was employed to
teach German at the Marion building
the remainder Of the year at so cents
per lesson.
On motion it was decided that the
schools would be dismissed all day
Wednesday on account of the circus.
A motion carried to hold a picnic
for teachers pupils, parents and mem
bers of the Board during the first
week in June. and the following COM
mittees were appointed to take the
matter in charge:
Transportation--Eyssen and Rich
ardson,
Music--Meisenhede and Curtis.
Grounds--Willls and Dye.
The principals and teachers are to
consider themselves as members Of the
committee on arrangements.
After allowing the bills the Board
adjourned.

In his monthly report Superintend-
ent Williams not only gave a synopsis
of the months work, but reviewed
some parts Of the work of the year ant
touched upon many topics of interes:
to the Board. He introduced a list o!
| pupils who have been enrolled in tht
city schools since September 1st, all OF
whom were from new families mov.
ing into the city from outside point:
in this and other states. The number
alone is sufficient to fill fair sized
building. Following is the list:

Ontario, Canada, 4; Kentucky, 2:
Minnesota, |; unclassifled, 25; pupils
paying tuition in High School, 10; to-
tal $780,
The reading of this list occasoned
some surprise.
In speaking CT the apparently large
number of cases of tardiness, truancy
and corporal punishment which he re-
ported, the Superintendent said 1t was
comparatively small when the number
OF pupils in the schools and the num-
Der OF sessions in a month were con-
sidered.
The name and offense committed by
a member of the Senior class, who
'ponled" in examination, were report
ed to the Board with a request for ad-
vice as to how to proceed. The boy
seemed penitent and wanted 20 take
another examination that the failure
mark against him might be romeved
and that he be allowed to graduate
with his class. The members of the
Board wede avetse to granting his
request, but finally concluded to do So
with the understanding that hereafter
all such cases be dealt with summarily
and the offenders be not allowed to
graduate. The name of the offender
in this case is withheld from publica-
tion.
The work done by Miss Griel, of the
California Training School. in showing
her methods Of teaching drawing and
color work. in the city schools last
week, was commented upon by the
