THE sPEAKERsHIP

The Minnesota speakership is still
in the air and cannot as yet be con
sidered any man s game. 1t must b.
conceded from what can be learned
from the scene of activity that DR.
Babcock has lost strength during TIT
past few days and whether he will bt
able to regain it remains to be deter
mined during the forepart of the com
ing week The key to the situation
lies in the niIt til district and it is be.
lieved that the members of the legis-
Iature from that section of the state
will be able to unlock the door on
Tuesday when they will go into con-
ference.
Merger influences are certainly at
the back of DR.. Babcock, whether that
gentleman has agreed to be the candi-
date of ]. J. Hill or not. The report
that Babcock is Hills man has lessen
ed the Wadens gentleman's chances
of becoming speaker There's no ques-
tion of that 1t is even said that Bah
cock has already gone so far as to
promise the most important chair
manships of committees, while on the
other hand that gentleman states in
terms most positive that he has agreed
TO nothing.
What particular part the second dis
trict ia going to play in this contest has
not yet come to the surface. The
question naturally arises, what is the
best course for it to pursue? Throw
ing aside all personal feelings in the
matter The Free Press feels that the
legislators from southern Minnesota
should cast their lot with the candi-
date who can do them the most good.
The fact should not be lost sight OF
that candidate chosen from Mime
apol,s could not affored to treat
lightly the claims of the country
members who should be honored by
being placed at the heads of the COM
mittees or given positions on the
more important committees Should
the gentleman from Minneapolis be
selected speaker he certainly could
not, in all fairness to the other dis
tricts that aided him in securing the
position, give all the best plums to
his home town colleagues.
Should the members of the legisla-
ture in the second district hold con-
ference in this city during the coming
week taeir duty is to look the situa-
ton over carefully and decide On a
plan that will be for the best interests
of southern Minnesota, as we'll as the
state at large.
1t should be borne in mind, too,
that the victory just won at the polls
should not be turned into defeat by
allowing undo influences to organize
the legislature. Governor Van SAINT
should not be hampered in his efforts
to further certain legislation that COR
porsts interests may wish to defeat

Carrie Nation while in New York
visited the horse show and the daz-
zling sights she witnessed there fairly
took her breath away. She raVed and
tore and finally she let loose on Mrs
Alfred Vanderbilt in the following
choice style: Amt you got no shame,
a-sittin there in your blazin' gems 2
you have went and rummaged and
looted every jewelry shop to get that
there display to show yourself here to-
night. Why don't you do something
to make the world better, to save your
fallen sister from the poisoned curse of
rum? Why, there's hundreds and
thousands of women you d draw your
skirts away from who set blazin' with
joolry jest as you do. >

Talking through a megaphone on

there are more serious offenses being
committed against the law in this city

The Free Press is in position to tell
the public what these offenses are,

PAINES CELERY
COMPOUND
VIII Danish the Summer Blues and
Other DiStreSSeS That Make Life
Miserable and Unhappy.

This is the season when we hear
men and women complaining about
their unhappy and half-dead condition
They find that physical and mental en-
ergy has deserted them, and they are
sinking deeply in the pit of despon-
dency.
The hot summer weather always pro-
duces thousands of miserable feeling
mortals They lack nerve force,
strength and true vitality. They can
not rest day or night, and life becomes
a burden.
The great recuperator, builder and
strength-giver for all weary, wornout
and suffering people is Paine's Celery
Compound, now SO universally pre-
scribed by medical men. When the
great medicine is used at this season,
languor, dependency, irritability, nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, headache. dys-
pepsia and digestive troubles are perm
anently banished, and men and wo-
men go about their duties and work
With a vim, will, and energy that indi-
cate health and physical strength

was in a critical condition of health
from troubles extremely common in
summer time, writes thus about his
marvellous rescue from death:
When | was attacked with nervous
prostrati1n 1 went to one of our local
doctors. | continued to grow worse,
ana consulted other physicians. but
with very little apparent good. No
tongue can express or pen describe
my feelings and suffering from this
terrible disease. After spending con-
siderable money in the vain hope OF
being cured, I was led to try Paine's
Celery Compound, and it is this medi-
cine which enabled me to enjoy the
health l now have. After the torture ]
experienced night and day for years
the change is wonderful

The Appendix-what 1t Ia,
From the London Chronicle


People as rule know nothing re-
garding the appendix. They talk about
appendicitis, but the organ affected Is
to them profound mystery. Let me
endeavor to make plain the nature of
this curious vestige in human anatonn-
zeal history. The digestive system
or man, and that of all other animals.
is a canal or tube, whereof the stom-
ach Is simply dilated part. Now,
beyond the stomach we find the in
testine (or bowel, which in man aver
ages twenty-six feet In length. 1t is
divided into the small intestine, meas
uring about twenty feet, and into the
large intestine, which makes up about
six feet of the total length. Where
the small intestine-which is the part
thatsimmediately succeeds the stom-
ach-joins the large we find the cae-
cum. This, as its name indicates. is
a cul de sac, kind of blind alley, ly-
ing below the point Of junction. At
tached to the caecum we find the ap-
pendix, little tube-like vestige, aver
aging about three inches in length, AMI
of the diameter of goose quill. II
the caecum is blind alley the ap-
pendix Is a kind of trap, lying as 1t
does to the back OF the caecum. When
indigestible things find their way into
the appendix-cherry stones, grape
seeds, and even the hairs of tooth
brushes-they cause irritation, and
when this irritation goes the length Of
Inflammation we get the ailment
known as appendicitis" The re-
moval of the appendix is an operation
of modern surgery which, under ordi-
nary conditions, is both cafe and sue
cessful.
