OLEO MEMS INNING.
Hearing on Grout Bill Continued Be-
fore Senate Committee.

Washington, Dec. 21-The senate com
mittee on agriculture today continued
it's hearing on the oleomargarine bill,
the only witnesses heard being oppon-
ents of the bill. The first of these was
w. Miller of the Armour Packing COM
pany of Kansas City, who attacked the
creamery organizations as the author
of the pending bill and accused them of
furthering their own interest by par
ticipating in politics.
]. C. Mccoy, a member of the Kansas
City live stock exchange, said that if
the fat of beef cattle could not be man
ufactured into oleomargarine there
would be an average loss of 81 per head
and on hogs of rs cents per head. On the
beef cattle of the United States there
would be a total loss of $4,000, 600 and
81, 100000 on hogs He said that experts
had testified that the ingredients of oleo-
margarine are healthful and nutritious
and that the coloring matter used in
coloring oleomargarine was used for the
same purpose in butter He pronounced
the bill selfish and unjust and an effort
in the direction of ultra class legislation.

Read N Books.

The wise, up-to-date, modern doctor is
no longer tied down to the hard and fast
rules of what his medical books say he
shall use and what he may withhold in
treating his patient.
The successful doctor nowadays is the
one who is quick to avail himself of
any remedy, new or old which holds out
a chance of cure no matter whether it
is Allopathic, Homeopathic or neither

DR.. Jennison, in an interesting article
on indigestion and dyspepsia says:
Nine tenthS of all people, who apply
to me for advice and treatment think
they have this ailment or that ailment,
but I find on close examination that
their whole trouble arises from poor
digestion.
They have little appetite and if they
do have an appetite the food they eat
does them no good. Why? Because it is
but half digested, causing thin blood,
weak nerves, Sleeplessness, aching bones,
pains in chest, forma ton of gases, belch-
ing, etc. They tell me they believe they
have consumption, or heart disease,
rheumatism, nervous prostration, in fact
most every disease but the right one.
In reality the whole trouble is in the
stomach and nowhere else. Now what
do I do with such people? I don't feed
them on pre- digested foods like babies,
nor stomach bitters" nor patent nos
truns which know nothing about No

BILE, because 1 know what Stuart's DyS-
pepsia Tablets consist of and what
they will do. They contain the vegeta-

River and Harbor Bill Will Not
Garry Less.

Washington, Dec 21-The river and
harbor committee continued hard at
work today in the hope OF completing
the bin, but owing to the vigorous
pruning which is goin on, the indica-
tions were that the bill could not be re-
ported or made public as whole be-
fore the holiday recess. Chairman Bur
ton expected. however, to give out u
statement late in the day embodying the
chief features. The committee has
reached a positive determination not to
let the total run above $6O,0OOOO0- OF
this amount 1928, 000 600 is in direct ap-
preparations, and about $4,000, 600 in
contracts. The changes now going on
will not vary these totals. The cut in
some items being added to other pro-
iects felt to be more in need OF aid.
One of the most important projects
now settled is that for improving the
Sault Ste Marie river, connecting Lakes
Superior and Huron. For this $4,5OOUUO

PAT GROVE SUSPECTED
Omaha Police Searching For
CudahY AbductOrs.

Omaha, Dec. H.-It is stated this
morning that Pat Grove, well known in
local police circles is the man whom the
police suspect Of being the leader Of the
gang who abducted young Edward Gu
daily from his home in this city Tuesday
night. Posses of officers in citizens
clothing are looking for Grove today but
so far, he has not been arrested.
Beyond this there are no developments
in the case. The police and detectives
who are working on the matter are in
clined to believe that men not well &C
quainted with the city and the sur =
rounding country would have been unable
to manage the affir as it was carried
out. For this reason they are searching
for several local men who are known TO
bear a bad reputation
An extra force of Pinkerton's arrived
this morning and were put to work on
the case. The only clue they have to
work on at present is a copy of the let
ter thrown on Mr.. Cudahy's lawn nam
ing the conditions on which the boy
would be returned. The original copy
was returned with the money, this being
one of the considerations demanded by
the desperadoes.
Mr.. Cudahy this morning confirmed
the offer of a reward of $4,000 for the
arrest of the abductors-
Young Edward today stated that the
letter demanding d ransom was hurled
into the yard by his abductors before
they left the neighborhood of his home.
That was Tuesday, December is. This
has given rise to some curious specula-
ton for the reason that the letter was
dated December 10, that is to say the
following day, Wednesday, 1t was We'd
nesday morning that the letter was
found in the front yard If the bandits
wrote the letter and threw it. into the
yard Tuesday night they dated it ahead.
The theory of the Cudahy family is that
they knew the letter would not be found
until Wednesday morning and therefore
gave it the Wednesday date
The letter was unsigned and the
statement made shortly after it's dis
covery that it was signed Jack was
an error.

DE VETS ESCAPE.

It Is Considered One of the BoIdest
Incidents of the War.
Bloemfontein, Dec. 21.-The details Of
General De Vets escape from the en-
circling British columns show that it
was one Of the boldest incidents of the
war. When HaaSbroeck'S command
Joined De Wet December u, some Is
miles east of Thaha N'Chu, General
Knox was only about an hour distant
and the Boer situation appeared des-
perate. But De Wet was equal to the
occasion Dispatching Haasbroeck west
ward to make a feint at Victoria Mex
De Wet prepared to break through the
British columns at Springhau Mex pass,
about four miles of broad, fiat, unbroken
ground Al the entrance were two for
titled posts, while artillery was posted
eastward, watching the Beers. Sud
denly magnificent spectacle was pre-
scented. The whole BOer army of $500
men started at gallop in open order
through the mex. President Steyn and
Peit Fourie led the charge, and De Wet
brought up the rear. The British guns
and rifles doomed and ratified inceS-
sanity. The Beers first tried the east
ward route, but encountering artillery
they diyerged and ga1loped to the foot
of the hill to the eastward, where the
fire of only a single post was effective.
The whole vancouver was a piece of
magnificent daring, and its success was
complete, in spite of the loss of a Is
FOUNDER and 25 prisoners.
The British force detached after
Haasbroeck came in contact with his
commando at nightfall. The burghers
were scattered and Welsh yeomanry
galoped among the retrea ting Beers,
using their revolvers and the butt ends
of their rifles with great effect.
An incident OF the tight was the gallop
of a British ammunition wagon right
through the scattered Beers, the gunners
using their revolvers freely.

Plead For Statehood.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The senate com
mittee on territories heard arguments
by Governor Murphy and Delegate vii
son of the territory of Arizona in the
support of the bill for the admission of
that territory as a state. They dwelt
especially upon the marked increase in
the population of the territory, and
urged that it contains both population
and wealth sufficient to justify the
change in form of government for which
the bill provides.
