Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load OF misery
and wretchedness that is terrible TO think
of.
Headaches as rule, result frcm dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, booily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
deb;litated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If The Ever IS
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous s.y>-
tenn must be strengthened and vi'ali@ed.
The most persistent cases of headache, nerv;,i.s
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are Pcrsnsil=rtiy
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it Is the
great reconstuctart of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, :e;lS

ROCKEFELLER VS. ROOSEVELT.
he Standard Oil People Said TO
be Down on the Administration.

Washington, March 22.-Following
the visit Of J. Pierpont Morgan to the
White House last week has come lot
OF talk which centres about President
Roosevelt. The reconciliation" be-
tween Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Roosevelt
has increased the hostility Of the
Rockefeller Gould Hartman interests
to the Administration. The Rccke-
fellers have believed all along that Mr.
Morgan's acquiescence in the anti
trust legislation Of the recent session
of congress was meant to be unfriendly
10 the Standard Oil Company's inter
ases, and the rivalry existing between
the sao powerful financial factions is
reflected here now in certain develop
nents not without interest to both
political parties.
The President is Convinced OF the
hostility Of the RockefelleE Gould-Har-
riman group from certsin happenings
since the publication Of the now fam
Dus Rockefeller telegram, and his
friends have advised him that in his
campaign next year he should have in
control only men that can be depended
upon to fight the battle to successful
finish. This has brought in Senator
Hanna's name, and it is understood
that in the event Of MT. Roosevelt's
nonination he will be retired as chair
nan of the Republican national COM
mistee; that his place will be taken by
William Murray Crane, of Massachn-
sests, and Gen. James S. Clarkse'n will
be a prominent figure in the manage
ment OF the campaign. This brings up
the relations between President Roose-
yelt and Senator Platt on one side and
Governor Odell On the other.
It no longer can be disguised that
the break in the New York State Re
publican organization between Cover
nor Odell and Senator Platt is factor
IN Washington. President Roosevelt
has had TO take sides, and it can be
said that he and the two United States
Senators from New York are i'll har-
mony. The desires of Platt and Depew
are to govern in all Federal appoint
ments. No man friendly to Governor
Odeu is to be appointed to Office
New Orleans Times Democrat.

NEGRO BLOOD IN VEINS.
Henry Watterson Takes Notice
of a Recent Escapade.

A dispatch from Louisville says /:
Henry Watterson finally has taken
note of the entertainment on the part
of New York's 400 Of a negro woman,
Aida Overton Walker. The Courier
Journals editor does not appear to
have been greatly shocked. He says
some Of these swells need not go far
back to find negro blood in their veins.
Says Mr. Watterson: 'tThe newspa-
pers are making an ado over the in
cident which came to pass at Del
monico's the other evening, where at
function by some members of the
smart set colored lady became the
piece of resistance, as We Irish say.
ssThe Courier-J Journal has been asked
by several esteemed contemporaries for
an expression as to this new departure.
It is not, we take leave to remark,
an altogether new departure. Several
swells named as of those present are
known to have acted within their
rights. If questioned, these might
trace their own origin back to the
rich, red blood Of the Ethiopian, in
some cases not so very far back, either.
They did but honor. their race in
honoring the dusky representatives
az the vaudeville stage.
'The Courier-Journal is not en-
gagged in the work of sensational
specification. IF it was SO engaged, it
might reduce the great question to
the dimensions of a vulgar scandal. !"
