CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago News Qnd) says: "Since
the passage of the Porto Rican bill 1t
has been discovered that under its pro-
visions the monopolists could soon have
the whole island in their grip. Some of
the confidinsg congressman who voted for
the bill either did not read II or could
not understand il. To the general public
the bill. framed as 1t was in the interests
OF monopoly is an entirely logical affair.
The congressman who passed it are nov
anxious to have it amended as soon as
possible, which shows that their error in
voting for IL was more lack of GOOD
judgment than of principle. In either
case, however, the inference is not COM
phmentary to them"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd) says: Whatever may be the re-
suit of the presidential election, the
chances that the Democrats will control
the next House of Representa- tives seem
excellent Even in 1896 they reduced the
Republican majority from some 100 down
to about 50, and in 1898 they brought 1t
down to Jess than 90 The Democrats
have not been in power for four years,
and il is NOT apparent why they cannot do
better this year on congressman than be-
fore since 1892"

says: "Wbh New York's electoral votes

President. as now seems likely to be the
case, IL will be necessary to allow the
Democrats of New York to have some

and considera ton all along the line. and

Then unity and strength will follow and

The Louisville Courier Journal dem

other moment arose to her feet and cried
Bring 'em burro.'
Then Mr.. Corzo stepped out. He was
the matador He was dressed brilliantly
in blue. and had a hornets nest tied Up on
the back of his head and had the cum
ningest little sword you ever saw. He
was to walk up to the bull and plunge the
sword into him and kill him. He didn't.
The bull didn't like Mr.. Corzo to take
such liberties with him. Corzo boIbbed
around and aimed his sword. but he
always found the bull coming like the
Cuernavaca train on a down grade.
Finally as an Is carat piece of bluff he
sat down on a bench and winked at the
bull. The bull kept coming. The bench
also suddenly burned Mr.. CorzO's person
and he departed. At length he struck
with his sword. 1t stuck in about three
inches The bleachers arose and wept.
It was plain to be seen that Mr.. Corzo
couldn't have stabbed toy balloon with
a hat-pin without hitting a bone, and the
bleachers said so. Corzo tried again, and
that came mighty near being the doxology
for him. He made a false movement and
the bull was upon him. Instantly Fuen-
IeS, tueHleS the SIIiOOUh' IHe dSANo' tIi0
adept, was at the bulls side and turned
the animal and saved Corzo.
Then Fuentes played with that bull.
He gave him bar of the lancers, waltzed
with him across the ring, sanded down
the Mobile in front of him. This was too
much for the bull. He went after F'uentes
and took aboard a long glittering blade to
its length during the progress Of the
trip.
THE bull was dead. The bleachers
arose and set their eyes on Fuentes. And
as one man they threw their hats over to
him and he picked them up one by one
and whirled them back, and the bull-fght
was over. The tourists flushed with eX-
element but horror-stricken bundled UP
their kodaks and departed"

GOES FREE
Charge of Passing Confed-
crate Money Dismissed
AT HEARING IN U. S. COURT
Interpreter Used to Get Testi-
mony of Mr.. Ptacek.
AT HEARING IN u. S. COURT

The preliminary hearing Of John Proppe
who was charged with passing Confeder-
ate money, was held before United States
Commissioner Shearman, yesterday after
noon and ended in the dismissal of the
case. The case was one of great inter
est as there have never been but two
convictions for passing Confederate money
although it is considered a crime Judge
Phillips of Kansas City, Mo-, ruled that
the passing of Confederate money was
counterfeiting. Young Proppe's father, a
wealthy German farmer Of Marion, Kan
sas, determined to make a strong fight
on the case and employed emminent
counsel to defend his son.
United States Attorney Bone of Topeka,
conducted the prosecution, and W. H.
Carpenter of Marion had charge of the
defense.
It seems that on November 18th, last
year, young fellow named William
Holub took a ten dollar bin to an old
Bohemian farmer named John Ptacek and
asked the old man to change it The
old fellow did so. Again on the 5th Of last
January it is alleged Holub brought an
other of the bills to Ptacek who gave
him the equivalent in good money.
The old Bohemian can not speak word
of English and the court had to carry on
his examination by means of an interpre-
ter. Yesterday the old man said that
when the boy brought the money to him
he had quite little money in his pocket
which he had saved up to pay his taxes
and he merely made the change and put
the bill in his pocket-book with the rest
of his money. He did the same thing with
the second bill and never knew that he
had any bad money until the county
clerk refused to accept these two bills.
He said that he did not know anything
about money except to be able to read
the numbers on the bills and tell what
it was worth. He added that when the
clerk would not take the money he came
pretty near crying. He left the bills lying
on the desk at the county clerks Office
and would have nothing to do with them.
Another witness, named David Heinze,
testified that on the 18th of last November
Proppe had come to his fathers store and
tried to pass what he considered coun-
terfeit bill. He was at his fathers store
when Proppe was there and his father
brought the bill to him and asked him
what he thought of it. Heinze said that
he asked Proppe where he got the bill.
Proppe said that he had got it from a
fellow in Marion. Heinzethen told him
that he had better take it back to where
he got it and not try to pass it as it
would get him into trouble.
The principal witness for the prosecu-
ton was Holub, the fellow who took the
bills to Ptacek 1t was on account of his
conflicting testimony that the case was
dismissed. At the time there was some
kind of deal between the two boys in
regard to a boiler. Holub first said that
he was to get rs for the boiler and that

SCARE HIM A BIT
Pops Say They Want No AutOcrat, and
will stay by Denniscn.

It begins to look as though everything
will not and everybody in the Popo-
cratic ranks will not clear the path for
John Bredenthal, who is now in the race
for governor Mr. Breidenthal, the Popu-
lists say, has waited too long, so long
that most every man had placed his high
est bid on thetrump which he thought
would pull the most points in the game
of politics this fall. Figuring on Breiden-
thai staying out of the race many candi-
dates have shown their hands and gone
into the game for all it is worth Some,
it is said, have already spent a great
deal of cash in shaping things for their
respective booms and will not even at
this early day lay down in favor of
Breidenthal, who persists in running over
the whole smear to push himself into
place at the head of the ticket.
Said a Populist yesterday: Wichita
practically had said it wanted Judge Den
nison of FL Dorado for the Pop fusion
nominee, and the bringing out of his
name brought such encouraging news to
Judge Dennison that he decided to get
into the race. No sooner had he gotten
himself favorably mentioned over the
state than Breidenthal, with his charac-
teristic gall, set himself up as a candi-
date. He thought the little candidates
who had been in the field would all run
and hide, but he is mistaken. Mr.. Breid-
enthal will have lots OF candidates to
overcome in the convention and some
pretty strong ones
Judge Dennison, who is very strong in
this section was seen at the train last
night on his way 70 hold appellate court
at Garden City. Informing him Of what
his Populist friends had been saving
about his staying in the race, Judge Den
nison was asked as 10 whether he would
run against Breidenthal for the nomina-
GSn.
Certainly" said Mr. Dennison. Il
went into this race when Mr.. BreidentbaI
utterly refused to let his name be con-
sidered for the nomination. and do not
intend to get out of 1t now. I have great
er announcement than ever expected.
notwithstanding the persistent requests
OF my friends who solicited me to enter
the race. Now that 1 am In til shall

THE WHOLE SECRET
or the Remark able Success of a Rem
cdy for Indigestion and stomach
Troubles


A new remedy which may revolutionize
the treatment of stomach troubles has
been placed before the public and bears
the endorsement of many leading physi-
clans and scientific men.
This preparation is not a wonderful dis
covery nor yet a secret patent medicine,
neither is it claimed to cure anything ex-
cept dyspepsia, indigestion and stomach
troubles, with which nine-tenths of our
nation are more or less affected.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin Gree from animal impurities
Golden Seal and diastase. They are sold
by druggists under the name of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Many interesting experiments made
with these tablets show that they possess
remarkable digestive power, one grain OF
the active principle in one of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets being sufficient to
thoroughly digest 5000 grains of lean
meat, eggs, oatmeal or similar wholesome
food
Stuart's Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and in
flame the intestines, without having any
effect whatever in curing indigestion
If the stomach can be rested and
assisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover its normal vigor. as no
organ is so much abused and overworked
as the stomach This is the secret and
the whole secret of the remarkable sue

remedy practically unknown a few years
ago and now the most popular. safest
and most widely sold Of any treatment
for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon its merit as a digestive, pure and
simple; because there can be no stomach
trouble if the food is PROMPTLY digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely
upon the food eaten. digesting 1t CON-
pletely, so that it can be assimilated into
blood, nerve and tissue.
Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed in
but one way, and that IS from wholesome
food properly digested. There is no other
way. and the idea that a medicine in
itself can purify the blood. or supply new

Proppe had given him the tan dollar bill
and two dollars in good money and told
him to go TO Ptacek and get the ten
changed and keep out the seventy-hve
cents. Then he turned around and made
a statement that the changing Of the bill
had nothing to do with the deal about
the boiler, but that Proppe offered him
seventy-five cents II he would get II

and could not be made to stand firm in
