THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down TO
First Principles.

A man Of large affairs in one Of our
prominent Eastern cities, by TOO close
attention 10 business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan TO pay natures tax, levied in the
form Of chronic stomach trouble; ths
failure Of his digestion brought about
q nervous irritability, making it lmpos-
sible TO apply himself 10 his daily bust
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he saws: Il con-
suited one physician after another ana
each one seemed TO understand my
case. but all the same they each failed
TO bring about the return Of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years I went from pillar TO post. from
one sanitarium TO another, l gave UP
smoking, ] quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two OF beer,
but without any marked Improvement.
Friends had often advised me to try
z Well known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and 1 had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments OF the remedy, but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe a fifty-cent patent medi-
cine would touch my case.
To make a long story short ] finally
bought q couple Of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
sionally a tablet between meals. when /
felt any feeling Of nausea or discOm-
fort.
i was surprised at the end Of the
first week TO note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
! was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely
and they did not disappOint me. can

cigar and no one would suppose / had

~Out Of friendly curiosity I wrote to
the prOprietors of the remedy asking
for information as 10 what the tablets
contained and they replied that the
principal ingredients were aseptic pep

KNOX SCORES
JUDGE PARKER
Senator Brands the Can
didate's Charges Against
Roosevelt as Slander0us

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 5.-One of the
quietest campaigns of recent years
closed tonight with a large and en-
thusiastic meeting at Old City Hall,
which was addressed by Senator P. C.
Knox. The announcement that Senator
Knox would reply to Judge Parker's
charges and President Roosevelt's
statement in the same connection had
stirred interest to a feverish heat and
the hall was crowded to the doors Sen
ator Knox said, in part:
THE exigencies of losing campaign
have driven our adversaries to substan-
TALLY abandon the attempt to convince
the people that they stand for anything
better in the way of governmental poll
cies than we do, and we now have the
humiliating spectacle of candidate for
the Presidency of the United States go
ing up and down the land deriding his
opponent and repeating slanderous
tales of such a preposterous character
that the party organs which originated
them had, until fathered by the candi-
date himself. almost abandoned them
for very shame.
THE man who made these charges is
the candidate of the Democratic party
for President of the United States, AL
ton B. Parker, a hitherto respectable
and respected Judge and gentleman,
but as a candidate the product of a
compromise between Tammany Hall,
William r. Hearst, David B. Hill, w. j.
Bryan, the solid South and the worst
element in Wall street. He was syndi-
Gated by these people for the purpose
of taking advantage of an alleged ad-
verse feeling in business circles toward
President Roosevelt because President
Roosevelt had enforced the provisions
of the antitrust law.
What a pitiful fall it was when this
dignified gentleman was induced to re-
peat and enlarge upon the base SLAM
ders of degraded partisanship.
"Does not every man in America
know that the hold that Theodore
Roosevelt has upon his countrymen is
largely because of his love of fair play
and his courage to see that there is fair
play; because neither threats nor coax
ing could prevent him from enforcing
the law when the law-breakers were
the richest and most influential men in
the land?
L
the President is one of wicked and de-
ceitful collusion, the second one Of in
famous blackmail, and while they are
wholly inconsistent with each other
their inconsistency is not SO much a
matter of concern as 1t is that these al
legations should be substantiated or
the penalty for malicious slander meted
out to their author.
1.-The President has met these mon
strous accusations with the dignified
scorn becoming a man respected and
honored enough to receive a unani-
nous nomination for his exalted Of
fee. 1t is a matter of common noto-
rfety that the chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee was chosen
because it was hoped to carry Indiana
for Judge Parker by the very meth
DDS he now affects to deplore. 1t is
likewise a matter of common noto-
riety that Messr. Hill, Belmont, Ryan,
Sheehan and McCarren, who are Judge
Parker's chief hackers, can only be
such in the very way in which Judge
Parker now processes to attack. 1t is
also legitimate deduction from the

NEW YoRK,s BITTER CAMPAIGN,
Extraordinary Efforts by Both Parties
TO Carry the State.


NEW YORK, Nov. Ending in
excitement and feyered interest. in
violent contrast to the tameness of its
earlier stages, the campaign in this
State for the selection of national elec-
tors and State officers closed tonight.
When. the last word had been spoken
and all the work had been done both
sides claimed the State for both the
national and State tickets The, Re
pUblicans. while admitting that Hlg-
gins vote might be lower than Roose-
velts, declared that their candidate
surely would he elected. In reply the
Democrats said they not only would
elect Herrick. but would carry the
State for Parker.
The campaign for the State ticket
was the most strenuously contested
and bitterest in many years, surpass-
ing in these respects even the historic
campaign of 1894, which resulted in
the loss of the State to the Democratic
party.

SMALL PENALTIES
FOR FINANCIAL CRIMES
New York Penal Code Makes Stock
Swindling Only a Mis-
la,s,na-nr

One of the commonest ways of CIV
ing fictitious value to stock, and of
selling large quantities of worthless
certificates, is by paying large divi-
dends not out of the actual earnings
of the company, but out Of the money
paid by stockholders for their stock.
Stockholders and others, believing
from these dividends that the COM
pany Is actually prosperous and earn
ing money, either increase their hold
ings or buy stock at high prices, only
to find later that it is worthless. The
penal code provides that the directors
of corporation who perpetrate this
swindIe are guilty simply of misde-
meanor. Equally serious is the action
of directors in knowingly making and
publishing false statements or reports
as to the financial condition of the
company of which they are trustees.
Whitaker Wright (the great COM
pany promoter who committed suicide
after being sentenced to hard labor for
issuing false balance sheets of the
wrecked London and Globe Finance
Corporation) was convicted in England
under a statute substantially similar
to this section of the Penal Code. He
was sentenced to seven years penal
servitude. Under this New York law
the maximum penalty which he could
have received would have been one
years Imprisonment or a fine of $500

for a defalcation of $4,000, 600. The in
dictments against him were all dis
missed a few years ago. He even seems
to have returned to some sort of social
position and the society columns of the
New York Times, commenting some
time ago upon a reception at his New
York home, alluded with becoming
gravity to certain Canadian guests as

ly had made during their long stay

in an outburst of political activity that

weeks which have just passed. The
