SIGNED MACHEN'S NAME.
His photographer Performed That
Service for Years.

Washington. Jan. 13.-The cross
examination of John J. Howley, chief
clerk in the office of the first assistant
postmaster general, in the trial of
August w Machen and others, was
continued today, Mr.. Douglas conduct
ing the examination. The witness de-
tailed the duties of the general super
intendent of free delivery, but he could
not state them a fact, simply from
his knowledge of office practice. Con-
corning the placing of Machen'S name
and initials on letters by subordinates,
witness said Miss Liebhardt, Machen' s
stenographer, had for several years
done so. He admitted that he knew of
this practice three years before he be-
came chief clerk. He did not speak of
it to his chief, because he did not want
to interiors with the affairs of Ma
chen's division.
He tolerated it. he said, and the postal
investigation came up, and finally in
formed First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne that the legality of
these initials and signatures should be
looked into Witness admitted that the
order of Mr.. Wynne prohibiting the
delegation of authority TO others to
sign the names of division chiefs was
not issued until the investigation was
on. Replying to close questioning, he
said he could not recall any time when
he held any conversation with Mr..
Wynne affecting the expenditure of
money for his office. He explained that
division chiefs were trusted in these
matters, and that he himself never in
vestigated the matter of letters. On
further questioning he said the first
assistant postmaster general was re-
quired personally to sign any letters
calling for the expenditure of money,
although from the number of matters
Mr.. Wynne had to attend to he did not
investigate their nature or their neces-
sity for the expenditure
Mr.. Kumler then took the witness and
secured from him the statement that
until the investigation began he never
heard of any criticism of the Croft
fastener.

WAKEFIELD SWORN IN.
New Maryland Governor FavOrs
Further Limits on Suffrage.

Annapolis. Md, Jan. 13.-Edwin War
field was inaugurated governor today
and despite the Indictment weather
there was a vast multitude present
from all parts of the state.
In his inaugural address Governor
Warfield said on the subject of limiting
the suffrage to intelligent citizens:
1.-THE people demand that the state
shall be governed by those citizens who,
because of their intelligence, their here
dity and their interest in the material
welfare of the commonwealth, are best
fitted to properly, periodically and
wisely exercise the high duties of
citizenship.
This result can only be attained by
an amendment to the constitution fix
ing a higher standard of qualifications
for the exercise of the elective fran
chise.
Il believe an amendment to
the constitution upon the lines which
I have suggested expressed in clear,
definite, simple terms, shoAld be sub
mitted to the people of Maryland"

YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN.
Forget Your Stomach and You'll
Have a Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO 1T.

If there is one thing more than all
others that will give a man fOrlorn
and friendless appearance ana make
him morbid and cranky and disagree
able, that thing is dyspepsia. 1t makes
one forget his friends and become mo-
rose and irritable. He is so wrapped
up in his own misery that he is incon-
siderate of every one else. Relieved of
this terrible and depressing ailment, he
again becomes a good fellow and man
among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are beyond
question the most effective and popular
remedy ever offered to the sufferers of
this terrible disease. The thousands and
thousands of cures they have brought
about and the enormous increase of
their sales fully attest the truth of this
statement.
They are, above all, natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess and they actually do the diges-
tive work of the stomach and enable
that organ to rest and recuperate and
become sound and well. They act in a
mild natural manner and cause no dis
turbance in the digestive organs. They
prevent any fermentation of the food
which causes sour stomach. In fact,
under their influence the subject forgets
that he has a stomach and his resulting
cheerfulness presents great contrast
to his former detection.
STA Tablets are sold annually and they
are but in the dawn of their popularity.
Every mail brings letters of thanksgiv-
ing from grateful ones who have been
cured of this terrible disease. The fol-
lowing is one of hundreds received each
weak:
Rev. ]. R. Hoag. of Wymore, Neb.,
writes: For six years I have been
troubled with dyspepsia. Last fall be-
came very much alarmed at some
symptoms of heart trouble and came to
believe there was a sympathetic rela-
ton between the two diseases or rather
that the stomach trouble was the cause
of the heart disturbance. I hit upon
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for a rem
| edy and invested a dollar and a hall
| for three boxes which lasted me three
months, and I can eat any kind of food
want and have a good. vigorous APP

destruction of what is known as the
Shawnee county machine, and this IS
something that would be very grat1fy-
ing to the prohibition Republicans OF
Shawnee county. More than this, 1t
would cripple Mr.. Burton in Shawnee
county and would leave Mr. Curtis in
a better position for the contest for
United States senator which will come
two years from now.
The friends of Governor Bailey in
Shawnee county have done nothing
toward taking part in the mixup. They
have been disposed to stand aside and
allow the opposition to have its way
Governor Bailey. however, has many
friends in Shawnee county, and there is
a disposition Ito take a Hand in the
game and ask for a straight Bailey del
egation. Whether this will be done or
not is still an open Question, but it
would serve to further complicate a
situation wnich"'is already strained.
There are many people in Shawnee
county who claim that the people of To
peka and Shawnee county are not hos
tile to Governor Bailey's administra-
ton, and this would be an excellent OPP
portunity to make the test and ascer-
tain the real situation and whether the
men who are fighting Governor Bailey
in Topeka really represent any one but
themselves.

gun before Judge. Hazen in the district

Mrs. Smith charges her husband with
paying attentions to other women. Mr..
Smith claims that his wife is so insane
ly Jealous of him that she made life a
burden for him and that she followed
him and watched him and stood guard
over him in his office. Mrs. Smith also
charges that Mr.. Smith was guilty of
a crime against his stepdaughter. Mr..
Smith was before the city court on a
preliminary hearing to answer the
charge and was discharged by the

valve closes again automatically when
the bucket is raised. Into such an ar
rangement not very much of the sand
would be gotten. A few handfuls were
taken out and two small magnifying
glasses put to work looking at it. The
sand itself is white or gray, but it is
SO mixed with sha1e and other sub

full that a heavy bed of the sand may

CONFLICT OF VS..
Rossville People Want to Know
About Their Election.

The residents of Rossville, a city of
the third class in Shawnee county, are
in a quandary about their city election
as the laws passed by the legislature III
1908 conflict. County Attorney Hungate
has been called upon for an opinion as
to what the Rossville citizens should do.
The legislature of 1903 passed a law
changing. the elections in cities of the
third class from annually to biennially.
Then on the next page of the statute
books is another law passed to the eff
feet that the elections shall be held each
year.
The old law in section 1881 of the laws
of 1871 reads: "On the first Monday in
April of 1871, and of each succeeding
year thereafter an election shall be held
by the authorities of each town, village
or city that falls under the provisions
of this act (cities of the third class), for
mayor, police judge, and such number
of councilmen as such city may be en-
titled to. The mayor police judge and
councilmen shall hold their offices for
one year, and until their successors are
elected and qualified"
The law passed by the legislature of
1903, approved March z, and published
in the state paper March %, reads: ION
the first Monday in April, 1903, and
every two years thereafter. an election
shall be held by the authorities of each
town. village or city that falls under
the provisions of this act (cities of the
third class) for mayor, police Judge,
and such number of councilmen as such
city may be entitled to. The mavor
police judge and councilmen shall hold
their offices for two years and until
their successors are elected and quail
fed"
On the next page is a law providing
for the elections to be held annually.
which was passed by the same legisla-
ture in 1903. What the people of Ross
vile would like to know is which law
shall be followed. The attorney gem
eral has held that the law approved

shall therefore be followed
