Enoch =. Stevens OF this place uses
strong language in speaking of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and he gives good rea-
sons for what he says:
Il can't praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
too much" says Mr.. Stevens. They
have done me so much good. I was
troubled with my kidneys so much
that had to get up two or three times
In the night and sometimes In the
day when starting to the waterhouse
the water would come from me before
getting there. Two boxes OF Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured me entirely.
II have recommended Dodd's Kid
ney Pills to many people and have
never yet heard of failure. Dodd's
Kidney Pills are the things for kid
ney disease and rheumatism"
Dodds Kidney Pills always cure
the kidneys. Good kidneys ensure
pure blood. Pure blood means good
health.

Robert Shackelton's new novel.
Tho Great Adventurer," published by
Doubleday. Page & Co.. is said to be
a remarkable and daringly conceived
novel. Newbury Linn. the great ad-
venturer," carries the idea OF COM
blnation to its logical conclusion and
forms the colossal Trust OF Trusts
besides which the Standard Oil or
Steel combinations are merely begin
nings. The love OF this strong man
for the woman who is unjustly bound
to one of his business associates Ii
drawn with powerful strokes, yet
with real sentiment and romantic
feeling. The surprising elimination
of the overshadowing and menacing
organization which his genius has
built up is one of the most ingenious.
yet simple and inevitable, portions OF
the tale.

The committee arrived at its deci.

guments were over. The roll call was
required, as not single dissenting
voice was raised on the viva voce
vote.
Ohio Contests Are Settled.
Three contests from congressional
districts In Ohio came before the com.
mittee. One from the fourth district
resulted In the seating of o. f.. Harri.
son and w. l.. Russell over Charles
S. Stolzenbach and Roswell Speelman.
The contest was over the regularity
OF the call for the congressional con-
vention and basis OF representation.
It was discovered by the committee
that the result would have been the
same regardless of the change in the
ratio OF representation in the conven-
ton, and the decision was made in
recognition OF this fact.
United States Senator Foraker APP
peared before the committee when the
case OF the sixth Ohio district was
called and stated that the delegates
had agreed on dividing their strength
in half. giving each one-half vote.
This arrangement did not meet with
the approval of the committee, as the
notice OF contest was not filed until
ten days after the time set for sub
hitting contests. The case was re-
ferred to the committee on contests.
In the twentieth Ohio district j. b.
Zerbe and A. r. Splitter were seated
over Ferdinand II. Eggers and Mr..
Splitter, the last named being on both
delegations. The only question I'm.
volved in this contest was whether the
chairman OF the congressional commit.
tee had the right TO name the tempo
rary chairman OF the convention. II
was decided that the convention was
supreme in the matter of choosing its
officers.
The contest in the twenty-first dis.
trict of Illinois resulted in a defeat
for the friends of Gov. Yates, who in.
stituted the fight to unseat II. ~
Schuyler and Theodore Koch. A. G.
Murray, a Yates partisan. sought TO take
Schuyler's seat, and when the com
mittee inquired into the contest IL was
discovered that the only notice of q
contest IL had received was telegram
date June 3. The vote to throw out
the case was unanimous.
Three contests in Texas were quick.

Two decisions have been rendered
recently by Western state supreme
courts recognizing the national com.
mittee as the highest tribunal in
questions OF regularity in convention
proceedings. knowledge of these de-
crees strongly influenced the commit.
tee members when they began the
hearing OF the case.
Both Sides Are Heard.
The contest was called for hear
ing at the opening of the session on
June IL, and j. NJ. Olin OF Madison
began the presentation OF Mr. Cooks
side OF the controversy. a voluminous
printed brief accompanying his argu-
ment The gist OF the argument was
that no authority existed for the
throwing out OF the majority OF the
Cook delegates by the state GENITAL
committee. Il was his claim that tie
merits OF the credentials OF these
delegates should have been passed on
by the convention instead OF by the
central committee.
Senator Spooner. Senator Quarles
and Nj. J. Jeffris made arguments re.
inforcing the position taken by Mr..
DIN. They were followed by George
u. Roe. New York attorney, and II.
w Chynoweth Of Madison. who rep
resented the la Toilette faction. II
was contended by Mr., Roe that, had
the state central committee not act
cd "a committee on credentials. a
committee from the convention being
appointed and only those delegates
seated who were properly certified. rs
required by the call Of the state cen
trail committee, the result would have
bean exactly the same.
