A STORY OF CORRUPTION.
Indicted St. Louis Boodler Gives History
of Corrupt Combine.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-Charles F. Kel-
ly, former speaker of the house Of
delegates, under conviction for perjury
in connection with "boodle'' cases,
and whose trial comes up this week,
this morning gave out written con-
tession OF the circumstances of his
flight to Europe. He declared that
"Boss Butler' gave him Sl5, 900 to flee
and then an agent of Butler joined him
in London. He went to Europe by
way of Canada, taking the name of
James Hogan. It was the intention
of the ringleader, Kelly said, to have
him remain away until after the sta
tute of limitation had run out on the
lighting deal. By miscalculation,
Kelly said, he came back too soon and
was arrested.
In the course of his confessions
Kelly details the story of the city
lighting deal, for which Doodle fund
of $47 800 was divided between the l9
members of the combine at julius Leh-
mann's birthday party. He declares
that this same man gave him the Doodle
fund, that he took it to Lehmann's
house and that he there divided it.
OF the combine, Kelly has this to
say: "We never thought of passing
bill out of which any money could
be obtained unless we were paid for
our votes. We went abou, it in a
business~like way and had combine
meetings at stated times and fixed the
bribe prices which we were to receive
for our votes, by a majority vote of
the combine. Then we would select
one of the combine in whose honesty
we had confidence to go out and get
the money.
"These agents would never betray
us. In one or two instances they con-
tiscated part Of the money, but as
general rule, they were honest with
us. Among ourselves, understand,
we had high code of morals and it
was cons dered extremely dishonest
for a member of the combine to accept
bribe money without dividing it
amongst his fellows.
''We had a fixed schedule of prices
for various bills, according to the
value of the franchises or privileges
given. We considered it beneath our
dignity to take less than that. On one
or two occasions, though, we go: as
low as $50 each for our votes and some
Of the boys took $5 each, but were
ashamed of it, because the price was
so SMALL

They Advocate Peace.

BOSTON, Oct. 3.--Secretary of State
Hay, representing the United States of
America, spoke the word of welcome
this afternoon to the delegates to the
International Peace congress, who as.
sembled here for the formal meeting
of the thirteenth annual convention,
Secretary Hay traced briefly the war
history Of this country, and pointed
out that the country's greatest men
had been advocates of peace. He
agreed with Tolstoi that religion is
the remedy for war. He promised the
administrations support, SO far as
practicable, to the principle of arbi-
tration Of such questions as may not
be settled through diplomatic negotia-
tions, and expressed confidence tn at
at no distant day the attention of the
nations might be brought to a project
looking toward the return of peace in
the far east.

Western Women Will Vote,

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-W omen of the
west will this year figure in the presi.
DENTAL campaign as they never figured
before, and dispatches from Denver,
Salt Lake City and Cheyenne, say
their vote will be the heaviest ever
cast. III Colorado, the woman vote is
expected to be incre ased, but the men
OF both parties are said to be trying
to discourage them from taking sides
in the state campaign, which is COM
plicated fight.
In Wyoming, the vote nominally is
six women to ten men. 1t is expected
that the ratio probably will be in
creased, nine to ten. In Utah, the
Mormon elders are urging the women
to vote for Roosevelt on the plea that
if he is elected Senator Smoot will re-
tain his seat. The vote of gentle
women in Idaho probably will offset
the vote in Utah, for politics in the
two states has resolved itself into a
fight for and against the Mormon
church.

THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

The foremost biologist of our day,
NJ. MetschnlkoH, has shown the world
Of science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen.
cytcs look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood. cell policemen the pAagocytes,
and we enj oy immunity from disease SO
long as our blood contains plenty of phago.
cytes and red blood corpuscles
"a new broom sweeps clean and in
order to put our own house in order we
must get rid of all the poisons in the blood
with new broom such as an Alternative
extract made from roots and herbs-with-
out the use of alcohol, as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, a specific for
making rich red blood-for eradicating the
poisons from the blood. In some way the
policemen in the blood are increased in
number and strength-so that we are put
in the best possible shape to resist disease
to cure neuralgia colds catarrh and in
clpient consumption.
"The more study and time is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood is
the center of life "-says DR.. r. V. Pierce,
the noted specialist of Buffalo, vthe health
and comfort Of the average person depends
entirely on this blood supply-for the heart
must have pure blood or it will not pump
and keep the body supplied regularly like
the beautiful automatic engine it is. The
nerves must be fed on pure blood-or we
suffer the pain of neuralgia, which is the
cry of the starved nerves for food. Head
aches, cold in the head, catarrh-and 1nany
other things are due to stagnation of the
blood"
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are mild
laxative: No other medicine equals them

Special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Mayodan, N. c.. Oct. II, 1901
Hon. S. M. Gattis in his speech at
Mayodan made an able and convinc-
ing arraignment of the Republican
party. He touched lightly on the
tariff and other issues and then set
tied down to Re- seveltism and state
matters. He explained to the entire
satisfaction of the Democrats and to
many Republicans who came to hear
him the charges by the Republican
party that the Democrats were spend
ing too much of the peoples money.
He explained to them in an eloquent
and convincing manner the purposes
to which the money had been applied.
for the education of the children
which was a permanent investment
and would rebound to the benefit and
glory of our grand old state. Some
had been applied to the maintenance
of the asylumS of the state, some for
increased pensions for our old soldiers
and some had been used to pay off the
debts of the peniten+iary. which the
Russell administration had left to us.
He compared the two administrations
of Russell and Aycock and showed
that every dollar expended by the
Democrats was for good and lasting
improvements. while a gooIly sum
expended under Russellsm had gone
into the pockets of some of his hench-
men. He told with splendid effect
of the incident at the Republican Ma
tional convention of the little white
girl and the negro boy being placed
on the platform side by side and of
Booker Washington being invited By
Roosevelt to dine with him at the
White House and showed to his audi
ence that this man believed in social
equality. that he considered the negro
as good in ever- way as the white
man, that he (Roosevelt) had
trampled on every tradition dear to
our Southern hearts. that he had
many times and in many ways insulted
the Southern people, that he had
forced on the people of Charleston,
S. c.. a negro as collector of customs
for that port. that he had closed the
post office at Indianola, Miss, be-.
cause the citizens of that town OBJ.
iected to a negro. woman as postmis-
tress. In masterful and eloquent
words he called on all white men in
good old Rockingham the birthplace
of our peerless Glenn. to rally round
the Democratic banner and give the
Republican party oruoplhg lhey
would not soon forget.
