ROBB WANTED
TO DO" HEATH
PostOffice Department COun-
sci Says Utah Man Should
Have Been Prosecuted
GIVES FRANK REPLIES
Witness Admits That Secre-
tary of Republican Nation
al Committee Was Favored

WASHINGTON, March 2-The SEN
ate Committee on Postoffices and Post
roads to-day heard Attorney General
Robb of the Postoffice Department in
advocacy of a bill 10 prohibit guessing
contests carried on by newspapers and
circulars. This bill was prepared in
the Postoffice Department and intro
duced by Senator Penrose.
During the course of Robb's state
ment the subject of the postoffice in
vestigation was referred to, Senator
Culberson asking if some men had not
been protected by the statute of limita-
ti0ns. Robb said he believed such was
the case.
Senator Culberson then asked if
Perry S. Heath was not one of those
protected by the statute.
Robb answered in the affirmative,
adding that on account of the posi-
tion which Heath occupied both Off
cially and politically he would have
been glad to have prosecuted him.
Senator Scott at this Juncture de-
clared that Robb was going outside of
his province in making such a state
ment He moved that all reference to
the matter be stricken from the record.
This motion was carried by a strict
party vote.
Senators Culberson and Clay strongly
objected to the proposition to strike
the statement made by Robb from the
record.
Subsequently Robb stated that what
he intended to say was that if the
evidence had warranted the indictment
of Heath he would have been glad to
see him take his medicine on account
of the high position he (Heath) held.
Senator Clay moved to report favor
ably a resolution introduced some time
ago by Senator Penrose calling for a
Congressional investigation of the Post
office Department. On this motion the
four Democrats present and Senator
Penrose voted aye and five Republicans
in the negative. Senator Penrose again
put the motion and all of the Repub-
licans except Chairman Penrose with
drew, breaking the quorum. Some Re
publicans were absent on other COM
mittee duty.

in the same building, and that he was
prepared to blow up the place. He
said he did not care how many inno-
cent persons he killed so long as he
got the Huntingtons.
On one occasion he followed H. F.
Huntington to his hotel and tried to
reach him before he got to the ele-
vator, saying that he would kill him
on sight. After that incident Hunting
ton and his son were guarded constant
ly by private detectives and several
times these officers have prevented
Stark from reaching them. AS a result
of following Stark the officers learned
that he. was trying to purchase ex-
plosives. To-day the officials of the
Huntington companies secured a war
rant against him for insanity and he
was taken into custody and locked up.
1t was found that he had prepared
models of bombs and even after his
arrest he asserted that he would kill
any person named Huntington. His ar
rest deprives a wife and several chill
dren of any means of support and they
will be cared for by Mr.. Huntington.

Proved BEYOND a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 25.-(Special.,
That Rheumatism can be cured has
been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs.
Betsey A. Clawson, well known here.
That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism
and had it bad, all her acquaintance
know. They also know she is now
cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Mrs.
Clawson tells the story of her cure as
follows:
Il was an invalid for most FIVE years
caused by ~Iniammatory Rheumatism,
helpless two-thirds of the time. The
first year | could not do as much as a
baby could do; then I rallied a little bit
and then a relapse. Then q year ago
the govt set in my hands and feet. L
suffered untold agony and in August,
1903, when my husband died l could
not ride to the grave.
II only took two boxes of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks l could
wait on myself and saw my own wood.
l dug my own potatoes and gathered
my own garden last fall. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills cured me-
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the
uric acid out of the blood.

Harper's Magazine: There is hidden

Tennessee and the Carolinas a people
OF whose inner nature and its musical
expression almost nothing has been
,taineer is not peculiar but like him
self, peculiarly American.
Nearly all the m-ountaineers are sing
ers. Their unframed voices are Of good
timbre, the women's being sweet and
high and tremulous, and their sense
of pitch and tone and harmony re-
markably true. The fiddler or the
banjo player is well treated and be-
loved among them, like the minstrel OF
feudal days.
The mountain fiddler rarely cuddIes
his instrument under his hin. He gets
it against the middle of his chest. and,
grasping his bow near the middle,

tcomplished v~iolinist's bow arm. 1t is
sometimes complained that their play
ing is too rapid and jerky, but the
tunes are composed for his tempo, and
no other would be found suitable.
Prominent among the elements of this
music is tndI the leauIHS american
characteristic, humor; not the spark
ling with of the French, nor the broad,
clumsy Notification of the Teuton, nor
sarcasm nor irony, but the keen whole
some. freakish American love of a
laugh; and it pervades directly or in
directly almost every line. The music,
too. while usually minor, is not of a
p~laintive tendency; there are few
laments, no sobbing and wailing. In
This II differs radically from that Of
the savage peoples. Neither has il any
martial throb or clang. 1t is reflective,
meditative, with a vein of genial and
sunny philosophy; the tunes chuckle,
not merrily, but in amused contempla-
ton.

RACE DONE ?

A man who thought his race was run

any food sufficient to keep me alive.
There l was just wasting away,
growing thinner every day and weaker,

| could not get any nourishment from
food.
Then my sister got after ME to try
Grape-Nuts food which had done much
good for her and she finally persuaded
me, and although no other food had
done me the least bit of good my stom-
Iach handled the Grape-Nuts from the
first and this food supplied the nourish-

Summer strawberrY PIantina.

Most fruit growers are familiar with
the pot-grown strawberry plants offered
by nurserymen for setting In the summer
AS a rule such plants are too expensive

sorts for testing; though much more

from them a CROP, next summer, of suf-
fcient size 70 determine the S.i.ty.
OF the variety. Then, too, ii Is possible
TO increase ones own plantation by taking
from the old beds the new plants and set
ting them out In the new beds an time
this month. To do this With Gni 0ess re-
suits, cut the runner which connects The
new plant with the parent, then 4 we4h
later, just after a rain, dig UP the yang
plant with a liberal amount OF soil at
tached to the roots and set 1t with the
soil on the roots in the new bed. With
care not a plant will be lost In the rams
planting, and these plants Will give one a
crop of berries next summer equal to those
from year-old-set plants. The p~recaution
20 be taken is to have the lump OF soil
adhere TO the roots so that the growth
of the young plant will not be materially
disturbed by the transplanting. Where
but a few hundred plants are to be reset
one can easily supply the water TO the
soil necessary TO make the soil stick 70 the
roots.
