Columbia. But fortune had favored
the man, IS the reader already knows,
though his escape was still by no g
certain. As the boat had approached
the rocks, Lapham watched like a pam
Their preparing to leap. The white
spray dashed upon the rocks with angry
recoil, and the water seethed and
fosmed about the place like the boiling
OF a huge caldron. The prospect was
az uninviting as death itself, but lap
am stood straight in his boat, oar in
hand his eyes piercing the precincts of
the boulders and his muscles standing
out in knots. 1t was a case Of q power
full man looking death in the face, a
man equal to the fearful emergency.
The boat was heading straight for
the base OF the group of rocks. To the
left of the center the boulders divided
some six feet above the water line.
Lapham saw this at q glance and knew
that if he could reach this point be
would be safe for a time.
Quicker than words he hurled his
oars forward with all OF his strength.
He blocked the way of his craft and
spun it around like a top. Then he
threw her sidewise to the rebounding
waters which filled her almost to the
top. But the heavy undercurrent up
on which he rode struck the rocks deep
down toward the bed Of the bay and
rose up like a living thing. Lapham
found himself opposite the coveted OPP
ening in the rocks and leaped. He
caught his footing and ciawled 10 a
place of temporary safety.
His boat was let down As rapidly as
it had been hoisted up by the swell
and be saw it no more. His position
was such that he could not see what
was going ON around him. His vision
only covered q narrow line of the
water to the east and west but along
this line he saw nothing but white caps
and surging waters. =

Dan Lapham Makes q Discovery.

The storm went out with the tide.
The wind lulled With every receding
wave Inch by inch Dan Lapham de-
scended the ro~ks. 1t would be . relief
once more to secure good footing where
he could stand or sit with case. He
had chung to the eide OF the upright
Doulders until his fingers were worn to
the quick. His toes ached under the
continual strain and the bones of his
body seemed torn from the flesh 90
long had he been in contact with the
rocks.
When once the tide was out he found
himself upon . large nest Of rocks.
This he knew would be the case for he
was acquainted with the bay and river
As one is acquainted with bis home and
the landmarks about the place.
At high tide Chinook rocks were SUBJ
merged, saw that one spur near the
center Of the group extended above the
high water mark 1t was to this that
Dan had chung throughout the day.
Finding himself again able to walk
about he began to plan for escape. He

WEIGHT ON YOUR
STOMACH.

There's nothing lacking from the argument
that you are suffering from disorder you don't
understand.
The weight of the argument is here-pressing
on your stomach depressing your whole spirit
and being. 1t makes you a Stomach Coward
In trying to relieve you, many friends and some
doctors are proving their stomach ignorance.
You must learn this: THERE ARE A LOT
OF NERVES GOVERNING THE GASTRIC
AND DIGESTIVE APPARATUS OF YOUR
STOMACH. Your sluggish bowels get them out
of order. The weight on Your Stomach is Ner-
vous Disorder.
The other symptoms you know dyspepsia,
sleepessnes, dizziness palpitaton, fits of blues
and general nervous depression. You get dizzy
and walk about in dreadful uncertainty.
You have got to fix up those stomach nerves
before you can lift the weight

POSTAL TRIALS MAY
CLOSE NEXT WEEK,
More Evidence Regarding the Fast
eners Was Introduced.


Washington, Jan. 29.-The third week
of the postal trials closed to-day, and
the Indications now are that the case
will go to the jury about the end of
next week.
August w. Machen, the former gen.
eral superintendent of the free deliv-
cry system, probably will take the
stand Tuesday, and the present inten-
ton is for the other defendants, DR..
and Mrs. George e. Lorenz. and Diller
B. and Samuel A. Croft, also to testi-
fly, though this plan may not be car
ried out.
The defense to-day sought to show
by Miss Ina S. Leihhart for some
years chief clerk of the free delivery
system, and by other. witnesses that
the orders for the Croft fasteners were
sent out in the ordinary official rout-
inc, and that it was impossible for a
chief of bureau with a multiplicity of
details, such as attached to the rap
idly growing rural free delivery serv-
ice, to give personal attention to all
the mail and other official matters.
There was considerable controversy
over the admission of testimony Of Dill
Ter f. Croft regarding what he knew
of the transactions between his father,
one of the defendants, and DR.. Lorenz,
and objections to part of his testimony
caused withdrawal of some of the
questions as to the early history of
the fasteners until Monday

PILGRIMS PROVIDED WITH
CABLE CONNECTIONS
Bishop Potter and Lord Roberts Ex-
changed Messages.

New York, Jan. 29.-Interchanges of
cable messages of good will with the
English pilgrims at supper at the Carl
ton Hotel. London, formed a striking
feature of the banquet given at Del
monicos tonight, by the Pilgrims of
the United States in honor of Sir Hen
~ Mortimer Durand the British am
bassador. Bishop Potter sent this
to Lord Roberts:
Lord Roberts: We reciprocate your
good wishes and return hearty greet
ings God speed the good work of
the Pilgrims and all efforts to bring
Anglo-S Saxon race together. We hope
you will pay us the promised visit"
From London came message to
Bishop Potter from Lord Roberts. eX-
tending hearty friendship of the Eng
lish Pilgrims. The Lord Chancellor
of Great Britain sent a message eX-
tending hearty greetings and good
wishes on occasions when science is
aiding the great mission of the AM
glo-SaXon race towards peace and civ
ili2ation."
Bishop Potter, who presided. read a
message of regret from President
Roosevelt and introduced Sir Henry
Mortimer Durand. Sir Henry said he
had been told years ago that English
men and Americans would never be
in sympathy with one another, but he
was glad to say that he had seen the
prophecy fail of fulhllment. He pre-
dicted that the feeling would continue
to grow. There was nothing in Eng
land but good will for America. He
mentioned ireland and said that with
an Irishman directing the foreign policy
of England, another commanding the
army and another the channel fleet,
England's position could not be peri
loEs.
Addresses were made by former At
torney General John w. Griggs, James
NJ. Beck and Woodrow Wilson.

TALKED OF GOOD ROADS.
BrOwnIOw Bill Discussed by PrOmi-
nent Men.

Ormonde Fla, Jan. 29.-Although the
evening was rainy and chilly, the
meeting in the Opera House, held I'M
der the auspices of the National Good
Roads Association, was largely attend
ed last night. Hon. C. L. Smith, May
or of Daytona, called the meeting to
order. He introduced Senator A. S.
Mann, vice president for Florida of the
National Good Roads Associat ton, who
presided.
DR.. H. H. Seelye, president of the
Florida East Coast Automobile Asso-
citation, made a few remarks of well
come to the speakers. Before the
speaking commenced Col. w. H. Moore
the president of the National Good
Roads Association, was introduced
who in turn introduced Gov. Jennings
In the course of his speech Gov. Jen-
nings indorsed the Brownlow bill,
of road construction between the gov
eminent and the districts through
which the roads are built.
President w. H. Moore was next in
troduced He said that he had studied
the Brownlow bill. 1t had good fea-
lures, but he did not think that it
would pass in it's present shape. He
feels that there must be a more COM
prehensive plan, and he felt sure that
when a systematic proposition was
agreed upon by the good roads associa-
tions of the country there would be no
difficulty in securing government aid.
He approves of state appropriations,
with a state engineer to help the coun-
ty supervisors. With the state aid
plan, with government help, from 20 to
80 cent, with a state engineer and
state highway commission to work with
the county supervisors, he thought the
problem would be solved. He also be-
lieves in using convicts in road build
ing He says that of the $4,000 convicts
in prisons in the United States at least
10000 of them are able to do labor on
roads. This would take them out of
direct competition with free labor.
James w. Abbott of Denver, A. S.
Mann of Jacksonville, and P. H. Hyatt
of Columbia, also spoke.
Gov. A. ]. Montague of Virginia,
reached here early this morning to
make an address tonight. Others on
the programme for tonight include:
M. V. Richardson, industrial commits
sioner of the Southern Railway; w. K.
Vanderbilt, Jr., Winthrop E. Scarritt,
president of the Automobile Club of
America; Howard Gould, Hanlon w.
Whipple, treasurer of the American
Automobile Association; Messrs. Hyatt,
Moore, Mann and others.

SPANISH IMPORTERS
OPPOSE AN INCREASE.

Havana, Jan. 29.-Spanish importers
are opposed to the proposal in the
pending tariff schedules to increase the
that increases in the duties on cotton
fabrics would be favorable to goods
from the United States which, under
the reciprocity arrangement, receive
special reductions of from 80 to 40 per
cent, and that gives the United States
an opportunity which they hitherto
have not had, of competing with Span
ish and English cottons in Cuba. Pres
ident Palma has not yet approved the
tariff schedules.

Three ''Young Men, Thinkers

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 29.-The princi-
pal feature of the annual banquet of
the Kansas Day Club, an organization
OF young Republicans, tonight, was an
address of Lafayette Young, editor of
the Des Moines Qa.) Cauital The
speaker attacked the policy of reciproc-
ity and defended the present protective
tariff. He concluded as follows:
Since the close of the Civil War
three young men have introduced the
most prominent new thoughts that
have attracted American attention.
THE first was Henry W. Grady, a
diVinely gifted son of a Confederate
soldier, who, from his great heart
pointed the way by which the surviving
Confederate could mourn for his dead
and revere their memories and yet be-
come loyal to the old flag.
The second was Booker T. Washing

Other notices will be served upon the
