V Y scented to his Republican col
leagues Of the committee a
tariff bill for the Philippines. which he
had drawn TO meet the conditions of the
recent Supreme Court decision. The Re
publican members of the committee met
at 1890 to continue the discussion Of tbs
subject. The meeting was executive and
was preliminary TO a meeting of the
full committee tomorrow, when a Philip
pine tariff measure viii be submitted to
the Democratic members and voted upon.
The Payne bill is quite brief with two
main features-applying the Dingley law
as against Philippine exports to this coun-
try, and applying the Philippine commit
tees tariff schedule to goods entering the
Philippines A further section grants a
rebate Of customs tax on goods which
have paid an internal revenue tax in this
country There is no prOvisO in the meas

extended discussion on the several fea-
lures involved
The meeting lasted until noon. at which
time no final action had been taken, and
the committee adjourned until 2 p. m. to
hear Secretary Root on the requirements
of the situation.
During the morning discussion it devel-
Oped that Russell of Connecticut and
some other Republican members strongly
favored a proviso TO the bill offered by
Payne by which the tariff rates would be
scaled down from Is to 20 per cent on
goods passing between the United States
and the Philippines This was urged on
the ground that Great Britain had now 40
per cent Of the trade Of the Philippines
and Germany and other European coun-
tries held a certain percentage, while the
United States had but 8 per cent of the
trade For this reason it was urged by
Russell that the United States should
have some concessions as against foreign

Russell, March 1.-THE preliminary
trial of A. J. Francis for shooting his
brOther-in-laW, c. l. Manley in Lucas
on Sunday evening. February Il, was
begun in this city Friday morning before
Justice of the Peace Richards, and was
concluded at o'clock Saturday evening,

over 70 the district court without bail
County Attorney Beardslcy was assist
Ga in the prosecution by II. Il. Pestana
and J. c. Ruppenthal while Capt. >. O.
Waters of Topeka and George NJ. Hoi-
land defended Mr.. Francis
The charge against Mr.. Francis is
snur6er IA the first degree, bur his at
torneys contended that the evidence did
not warrant 50 serious a charge, holding
that the court should do either of two
things: turn him loose or place him IN
der bail. Captain Waters made a mas
terful argument, reviewing in detail the
evidence, and citing numerous aUthOri-
ties to prove that his client was not
guilty OF the charge brought against
him by the state.
As a general thirg. 1t may be stated
that the decision of the justice was 2
surprise and disappointment many peo-
pie who heard the testimony; for they
agreed with the attorneys for the de-
tense that the evidence did not substaE-
tiate the charge.
District court meets March 10 in this
city in adjourned session, and at that
time Mr.. Francis attorneys will appear
before Judge Lee Monroe to ask bail for
theid client.
The preliminary hearing was entirely
devoid Of anything sensational or excit-
ing, and the accused man, who is kneWn
in this community, is not looked upon as
a criminal or a desperate man. His
daughter a young lady about 20 years
old was his constant companion during
the preliminary hearing.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same sub
iect.

lecE.
We hear much nowadays about health
foods and t1ygfenic living, about veg
etarianis1n and many other 1ads along
restaurants may be found in the large
cities where no meat, pastry or conee Is
served and the food crank IS IN his glory
and arguments ana theories galore AZ
ranced TO prove that meat was never
intended for human stomachs, ana al
most make us believe that our sturdy
ancestors who lived four score years az
robust health on roast beef, pork ana
mutton must have been grossly 1gnOr-
amt of the laws of health
Our 6orefathers had other things 70
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. a warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon TO
acorns.
A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow In matters
of diet. and a mixed diet Of grains
fruits and meats is undoubtedly the
best.
As compared with grains and vegeta-
bles meat furnishes the most nutriment
in a highly concentrated form and is
digested and assimilated more quickly
than vegetables and grains.
Dr. julius Remmson on this subject
SAYS. Nervous persons, people run down
IN health and OF low vitality should eat
meat and plenty OF it. II the digestl9n
is too feeble at first it may be easily
corrected by the regular use of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal. Two
OF these excellent tablets taken aLltI
dinner win digest several thousand
grains Of meat, eggs or other animal
food in three hours. and no matter how
weak the stomach may be, no trouble
will be experienced il a regular practice
rs made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets because they supply the pepsin
and diastase necessary to perfect diges-
ri0n. and every form Of Indigestion Will
be overcome by their use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure its
proper digestion by the daily use of
safe, harmless digestive medicine like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets composed Of
the natural digestive principles, pepsin,
diastase. fruit acids, and salts. which
actually perform the Wo-k Of digestion.
Cheap cathartic medicines. masquerade
ing under the name of dyspepsia cures
are useless for indigestion as they have
absolutely no effect upon the actual
digestion Of food.
Dyspepsia in all its many forms is
simply a failure OF the stomach to digest
food and the sensible way to solve the
riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make
daily use at meal time of a preparation
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which
is endorsed by the medical profession
and known to contain active digestive
principles
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at soc for full treatment.

OFFICIALLY SET FORTH.
Reasons For the Excommunication Of
Count Leo Tolstoi-

St. Petersburg. March 9.-The official
organ Of the holy synod today publishes
the formal communication Of Count
Tolstoi, the Russian novelist and social
Teformer, which was announced early in

In its soiicitude for the children Of
the orthodoxy to guard them from being
led into corruption. and in order to save
those who have gone astray. the holy
synod has delibeTated upon the anti
Christian and anti-ecclesiastical teach
ings of Count Leo Tolstoi. and has
deemed it expedient in order to preserve
the peace of the church to issue a cir
cular dealing with the heresies Of Count
Leo TOlstOi- The circular is as follows:
Count Leo TOlstoi. to the grief ara
horror Of the whole orthodox world has
BY speech and writing increasingly strl-
ven to separate himself from all conf
municatlon Of the orthodox and this not
only Clandestineiy, but openly and in the
knowledge of all persons. All attempts
to dissuade him from this conduct have
proved without avail Consequently the
orthodox church no longer considers him
TO be one of its members and can not
not represent and does not become rec

place on record his apOstacy from the
church and pray the Lord to restore him
to a comprehension OF the truth. We
