TRAITOR IN THE OFFICE
Offers to Sell Information to the Men De-

O1ers TO sell lnfOrmatlon to INC men De-
Tending Nicely.
Washington, May 13.-William D.
Williams, confidential secretary Of
Colonel Edwards, chief of the insular
division of the war department, was
found guilty Saturday upon his own
confession of having tried to sell gov
eminent information and was sum-
marily dismissed by the secretary of
war. Williams endeavored to sell for
$500 and the cost of a trip to New
York copies Of government opinions
and correspondence relative to the
Nicely case.
Judge John d. Lindsay, counsel for
Nicely, notified the attorney general
Friday that he had received letter,
signed John B. Dickinson, offering him
copies of the correspondence. The at
torney general called in Chief Wilkie
and placed the matter In his hands.
An officer was sent to the general de-
livery window Of the local postoffice,
and when man presented himself
and asked for mail for John B. Dick
enson he was followed to the insular
division of the war department.
Shortly afterward it was discovered
that the man representing himself as
John B. Dickinson was Williams.
Williams formerly was private secre-
tary to ex-Representative Brumm, OF
PENNSYLVANIA.

al a higeher price. The shock which
caused the collapse was the Northern
Pacific corner, without dispute. The
probability seems to be that 200 rep
resents about the figure which will be
demanded in settling for Northern Pa
cific.
On that point the following state
ment from member of the Hartman
syndicate is significant: Northern
Pacific is in. control of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. The only thing that can affect this
control will be the possible inability
of certain people to deliver the stock
to them. j. p. Morgan & Co. are in
the same position
The struggle Of the financial giants
which broke the most remarkable
movement that American stocks has
ever had dates back but fortnight.
T.. H. Hartman and his associates, so
they relate the story in the street, dis
covered that brokers representing j.
p Morgan & Co. were buying Union
Pacific. Hartman at once began in
creasing his own holdings, buying on
a market that rapidly advanced, and
when sure of control submitted a prop
osition for some basis Of agreement as
to the control of Burlington, just ac-
quired by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. That offer was re-
jected. On Monday last there began
a sensational movement in Northern
Pacific. 1t developed finally that there
were three large interests in the prop
erty, two seeking its management and
the third speculative profit
D4klx To- -pdi
the Morgan-Hill interests claimed con-
troll, and the predicament OF the shorts
was made worse by the fear of both
the Hartman and Morgan syndicates
to lend the stock to the shorts. 1t was
this fear that led Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
of the Hartman interests, to seek an
understanding with Morgan & Co. as
to the lending of stock to shorts. To
have loaned without an understanding
was to court the danger Of losing the
stock and possibly the dearly pur-
chased opportunity to control. The
shorts learned Wednesday that they
were severely cOrnered, and made
frantic efforts to secure stock, and thus
developed yesterdays wild panic.
James J. Hill, president of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, took dinner
with his son at the Metropolitan club
last evening. When seen concerning
the struggle in the stock market he
said: "When have spoken at all |
have tried to make people understand
that l have had nothing at all to do
with these market transactions. |
have been busy all day long buying
locomotives for the road. ! have not
been in the street, and l have neither
bought nor sold share of Northern

Fire RACES in Lumber Yards.

Detroit, Mich, May 13.-Fanned by
a thirty five-mile-an-hour wind fire
yesterday afternoon swept the west
bank of the Rouge river in Delray, a

three-quarters of a mile and destroyed

pered and fear grips the heart. Homes
are forsaken. People flock to the rail-
roads frantic to escape from the infected
city. But shout warning against dys-
peps;a and who is alarmed? Nobody.
Yet dyspepsia in the diseases to which it
tends, is responsible for more deaths an
nually in the United States than pesti-
lence could probably claim in decade.
THE WEAK SPOT
of the modern man is his stomach. No
man can be stronger than his stomach
because the stomach is in effect the vital
centre of the body. Where does the
heart get its nourishment? From the
stomach. Where is the nourishment
prepared for lungs, liver, kidneys and
other organs? All are nourished from
the stomach. Stop putting food into the
stomach and in time the heart stops beat
ing. We must eat to live. Everybody
knows that. They understand that the
man that isn't fed starves. But what they
don't seem to understand is that starva-
ton is Just as sure when the man is fed,
If by reason of disease the stomach cannot
convert the food it receives into nutri-
ton for the body and its several organs.
The sign of starvation Is emaciation,
loss of flesh. That's the sign of dyspep-
STA and weak stomach also. The dys-
peptic eats enough but the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
fail to extract the nourishment from the
food and so the body grows lean and the
strength of the body is undermined.
DYSPEPSIA AND DEcENERAcy.
There is certain physical degeneracy
which results from dyspepsia. If the
body is not nourished It grows weak,
and as the body is only general name
for the sum of its organs and members,
to speak of the body growing weak
means that the heart is growing weak,
the lungs are growing weak, and that
the liver and kidneys and other organs
are involved in the same weakness"
When diseases of the stomach and its
allied organs are cured these dependent
weaknesses are cured also.
cFor about two years suffered from a
very obstinate case of dyspepsia" writes

Kilgore, Anna Peoples, jasmine Will
holt, three young girls, the latter a
daughter of Lucy Without, the col
league of Mrs. Nation, smashed the
Summit saloon here Saturday after

the barkeeper did not know that an
attack was threatened until the glass
began to crash about his ears.
Fred Wolf, the proprietor, knocked
the girls down with his fist and
pitched them one after another into
the street. Miss Wilhoit's brother came
to their defense and Wolf struck him,
making a long cash on his face from
which the blood flowed freely. In the
melee the wrist of Miss Peoples was
broken. The police arrested the girls
and lodged them in the city jail.
Wichita, Kan, May 13.-Mrs. Car
RE Nation arrived here Saturday

STRENGTH FROM FOOD.

STRENGTH FROM FOOD.
All physical strength must come from
food after it has been received into the
stomach and properly digested and
assimilated. Medicine cannot make
strength. There 10 only one source of
strength and that is food converted into
nutrition. There are two chief causes
of physical weakness olie insufficient
food, the other the Inability of the stom-
aCh and its allied organs to digest and
assimilate the food eaten. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is not offered
as substitute for food, but as medicine
which enables the perfect digestion and
assimilation of food, and so gives the body
the strength which comes from food alone.
When the weak stomach is made
strong again by the use of Golden Med
ical Discovery the food it receives is
perfectly digested and assimilated, and
the body in all its parts and organs is
restored to strength with the stomach.
The lost flesh is regained and the body
is built up with sound, solid flesh instead
of fabby fat.
But as the body is but name for the
sum of its organs and members, so
strength for the body means strength
for each organ of the body, and when
the stomach is made strong, strength is
given to the vweak" heart, WEAK"
lungs and other weak organs.
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
ical Discovery" there is no other medi-
cine cjust as good for the cure OF dis.
eases of the stomach and other organs OF
digestion and nutrition.

TREMENDOUS STATE OF EXCITEMENT
But Kept Well Under Control-Some
Heartbreaking Scenes.


The state of excitement was very
apparent all through the financial dis
trict during the period of the panic,
but there were few sensational scenes.
Now and then a white-faced woman
would peer from cab outside brok-
er's office, and would be driven off In
falnting condition after receiving
message from the interior. The real
stress of the occasion came upon the
men who were shut up in either their
private offices, or those of brokers who
were struggling, and even fighting, on
the floor of the exchange. In the
brokers' offices sat many men who
were reduced to absolute ruin as re-
suit of fifteen minutes proceedings on
the stock exchange. Some of these
had been made opulent within few
weeks past as a result of the unparal-
leled rise of prices.
With the true gambling spirit, they
had replaced all their winning in new
ventures ON each successful turn. Yes
terday's drop, therefore, wiped them
all out. In many cases one could see
the gamblers fortitude with which the

the glittering attraction of this mar
ket has brought into it "a constantly in
creasing assortment of more staid and
inexperienced speculators-men and
women who have brought long-stand-
ing boards from secret places and
from savings bank deposits with the
determination TO make one successful
stroke and then retire with the pro-
ceeds. The demonstrations from this
class, which includes many women
spectators, furnished the historical
scenes and sensations of the day.
