WATTERsoN ONLY SMILED.
Did Not Deny Announcement of His
Political Ambitions.

/ Did Not Deny Announcement of His
Political Ambitions.
When Henry Watterson of the Louis
| vile Courier-Journal saw in the Louis
vile Evening Post the statement that
he would be 8 candidate for governor
of Kentucky in 1903 and may also be
a candidate for president in 1904, he
/ smiled blandly and remarked, "Our
afternoon contemporary seems to have
what the boys call q SCOOP" says a
Louisville correspondent Then he
smiled again, but not for long. His
telephone bell began to jingle and his
Office boy to pass cards into his sane
tum. Reporters for rival sheets and
representatives of out Of town papers
were on his trail. '"Tell them Mr. Wat
terson is not talking" is all he would
say to any one. and when he left his
Office he Instructed his secretary and
others to make this reply to all inqui-
ries.
Although he has been in public life
nearly forty years and has been con-
sidered a prominent factor in more
than one national administration, Hen
ry Watterson has never, save once,
held public Office, and when he retired
that time he declared he would never
again accept an Office of any kind. His
one experience was in congress in 1876.
when the people of the Fifth Kentucky
district louisville elected him to fill
out the unexpired term Of Representa-
tive 3. Y Parson He accepted this ,
only on the request of Mr.. Tilden. He
was made member of the committee
on ways and means, and his speeches
In the electoral commission were the
most noteworthy utterances on that
subject. This Tilden period was, in
fact. the most notable and interesting
in Mr.. Watterson's public career. At
the urgent demand of Mr.. Tnden's
friends he had presided over the con-
vention that nominated the Sage Of
Gramercy Park for president

Criminal Costs,

The criminal costs bOgie still con
tinues to rise up to haunt the tax
payers of Missouri There seems to
be no solution to the problem of cut
ing down the expenses of the trials
which are held, In some instances it
happens that hundreds of dollars are
spent by the state in an endeavor to
secure conviction when the good
seems to be the fat fees the officials
and witnesses will get out of the case.
The costs of the noted Jester case
havejust been paid by the state audi
tor. They amount to So. 135. 46.
This is a small fortune paid out to
investigate a case where the evidence
was not sufficient to warrant holding
the prisoner. In the Duestrow muir
der the state paid $3.50 to secure a
conviction. The most expensive
murder case ever tried in Missouri
was the famous murder trial of the
Taylor brothers, who murdered the
Meeks familyin sullivan county. The
case cost the state $11.212. - and
then had the satisfaction of seeing
only one OF the murderers hung. the
other one having escaped and being
still at large, In the settlement for
state expenses at the end OF each
biennial period. the greatest sum
paid out is the item for criminal
costs Jefferson City Press.

Senator Towne's Rapid Strides.

From the Washington Times.
 Events in the life of Senator Towne of Minnesota have within the last year or so crowded thick and fast upon each other heels. His nomination by the Populist par ty for Vice-President during the recent campaign was an exceedingly high honor for so young man, and there was "a lit- tie twinkle in his eye" a day or so ago when he mounted the steps and took up the Presidential gayel, which was handed over to him temporarily by Senator Frye
 Senator Mason took in the situation with keen delight. Senator Allen was speaking manifesty to fill up time. At the earliest opportunity Senator Mason sent to Towne a little note, saying Your sins are many The punishment fits the crime"
 Senator Towne replied with the follow ing note: T don't now about the punish ment or the crime, but think I am break ing a record. One term in the House, one month in the Senate, and one hour in the Vice-Presidential chair'

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach Trouble Down to First Principles.

A man of large affairs in one of our promi- nent eastern cities by too close attention to business, too little exercise and too many club dinners finally began to pay natures tax, levied in the form of chronic stomach trouble; the failure of his digestion brought about a nervous irritability making 1t inn possible to apply himself to his daily busi- ness and finally deranging the kidneys and heart.
 In his own words he says: q consulted one physician after another and each one seemed to understand my case, but all the same they each failed to bring about the re- turn of my former digestion, appetite and vigor. For two years l went from pillar to pest, from one sanitarium to another, gave up smoking, l quit coffee and even renounc- ed my daily glass or two of beer, but with out any marked improvement.
 Friends had often advised me to try well known proprietary medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and 1 had often perused the newspaper advertisements of the remedy but never took any stock in advertised med cines nor could believe fifty-cent patent medicine would touch my case.
 ITO make long story short I finally bought a couple of packages at the nearest drug store and took two three tablets after each meal and occasionally a tablet between meals, when l felt any feeling of nausea or discomfort.
 1T was surprised at the end of the first week to note a marked improvement in my appetite ana general utdllu ana UtlOTe lue two packages were gone was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets was going to cure completely and they did not disappoint me. I can eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar and no one would suppose I had ever known the horrors of dyspepsia
 "Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to the proprietors of the remedy asking for in- formation as to what the tablets contained and they replied that the principal in- gredients were aseptic pepsin Government tesD malt diastase and other natural diges- tives, which digest food regardless of the condition of the stomach"
 The root of the matter is this, the diges- tive clements contained in Stuarts Dyspep- sia Tablets will digest the food, give the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate and the nerves and whole system receive the ncunshment which can only come from food stimulants and nerve tonics never give real strength, they give fictitious strength, invariably followed by reaction. Every drop of blood every nerve and tissue is manu- factured from our daily food, and if you can insure its prompt action and complete digestion by the regular use of so good and wholesome a remedy of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets you will have no need of nerve tonics and sanitariums
 Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been in the market only a few years yet probably every druggist in the United States, Canada and Great Britain now sells them and consider them the most popular and successful of any preparation for stomach troubles.
