ROOSEVELT ISSUES HIS
ACCEPTANCE LETTER

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. Sept ~
President Roosevelt's letter formally
accepting the Republican nomination
for the presidency was made public
today. II is a long document and
covers in detail the questions of the
coming campaign and reviews the
official acts of the Republican admin
istration.
The letter is addressed TO the Hon.
Joseph G. Cannon, chairman of the
notification committee, and in part is
as follows:
II accept the nomination for the
presidency rendered me by the Re
publican national convention, and
cordially approve the platform adopt
ed by t. In writing this letter there
are certain points upon which ! de-
sire TO lay especial stress.
Scores the Democrats.
1T is difficult to find out from
the Gtterances of our opponents what
are the real issues upon which they
propose to wage this campaign. It
is not unfair to say that, having
abdhNOnC0 niOrl vi AuG ~ lnNiptCG
upon which they have insisted during
the last eight years, they now seem
at loss both as to what IL is that
they really believe and as to how
firmly they shall assert their belief
In anything.
"The party now in control of the
government is troubled by no such
difficulties. We do not have to guess
at our convictions, and then correct
the guess if it seems unpopular. The
principles which we profess are those

Union, Mo-, March 2S.-Like his
partner. George Collins. William Ru-
dolph must hang for the murder of
Charles ]. Schumacher, the Pinkerton
detective, VINO was killed at the Ru-
dolph, home near Stanton, January "a,
1903. l
Exactly one hour after Collins had
been hanged in the Union jail yard
Saturday the jury in the Rudolph case
reported to Judge Davidson that 1t had
agreed upon verdict. Rudolph, who
had been in Jail during the execution
of Collins, was ordered into court 10
hear the reading of the verdict.
Judge Davidson read the verdict 1t
said: 1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
William Rudolph, alias William An
derson, guilty of murder in the first
degree, and fix his punishment at death
by hanging"
The jury was polled, and each juror
replied that he concurred in the YER
dict.
The jury was less than thirty min
utes in arriving at its decision. Only
one ballot was taken. There was not
one member Of the jury who spoke a
single word in favor of the prisoner.
All were of one mind-absolutely con-
WINGED of the guilt of Rudolph.

When the verdict was read, Rudolph
assumed stolid pose. The serious and
rather disinterested expression which
his countenance has carried ever since
the beginning of the trial did not leave
He showed no emotion.
His mother and sister (Esther) sat
near him when the decision of the Jury
was announced. Esther, who is only
IA years years old. did not seem to
appreciate the gravity of the situation.
Mrs. Rudolph showed no violent emo
ton, but there was an expression Of
great anguish upon her face. Many Of
those in the court room, who thought
pitied the mother and sister.
The crowd that had been in the vi
cinity of the Jail during the hanging
of Collins had not dispersed when the
Rudolph verdict was announced
Verdict Received Calmly.
Rudolph was returned to his cell,
and his attorneys began to prepare a
motion for new trial. 1t was decided
to return Rudolph to st. Louis imme-
diately County Prosecutor Meyersieck
and Judge Davidson held consulta-
ton, and it was agreed to sentence
Rudolph at once.
His attorneys moved for new trial
and the motion was overruled. Ru-
dolph was again brought into court.
He responded that he was not guilty
when asked if he had anything to say
as to why sentence should not be pro-
nounced. Judge Davidson then pro-
nounced the death sentence, and fixed
May 13, 1904, as the date for the hang
ing. Rudolph will be executed in the
same corner of the Jail yard where Col
Inns was sent to his death Saturday
afternoon.
After pronouncing sentence, Rudolph
was returned to the Jail, and prepare
lions were made for sending him to St
Louis. Ed Robertson, city marshal of
Pacific, was selected as the one to
whom Rudolph should be shackled.
Sheriff Bruch appointed Deputies
William Meyersieck and F. H. Wealth
erford to remain on either side of the
prisoner on the trip to the station, and
to remain with him until he was final
ly placed in cell at the Four Courts.

twenty years never knew what it was
to have good health. Every physician
consulted said had liver trouble but
their medicines did me no good. Just
before I began using Doan's Kidney
Pills was almost paralyzed. l could

numbness and lack of circulation. Had
a knife been thrust into my kidneys the
pain could not have been more intense.
My sleep was disturbed by visions of

bloated. used seven boxes of Doan's

A wonderful pisoovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, March 28.-Quite q
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story Of G. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Brghts Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid.
cred incuIaDle, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it, even in the most adj
vanced stages. This is what he says:
II was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and | searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that would be able to
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills / praise God for the DAY
when decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in a
short time ] was able to get out of bed,
and after few weeks treatment l was a
strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
saved my life."
A remedy that Will cure Bright's Disease
will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.
