D. F. DAVIS SUCCESSFUL.

After great deal of effort and cor
respondence, d. i. Davis, the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the
DIR. Howard Co. To make special half
price Introductory offer on the regular
fifty -cent size Of their celebrated specific
for the cure Of constipation and dys-
pepsia.
This medicine Is recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases OF the stom-
ach and bowels. It not only gives quick
relief, but it makes permanent cures.
DIR. Howards specific has been SO re-
markably successful in curing eonstipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that d. f. Davis is willing to return
the price paid in every case where it
does not give relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pills OF harsh
purgatives will soon be q thing of the
past. The best physicians are prescribe
ing DIR. Howard's specific because it
really gives the desired results and on
account Of the small and pleasant dose
that is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specl<s before the eyes,
constipation, and all forms Of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.

MARY ROGERS CASE
TO BE HEARD NOV. 6
United States Supreme Court Has Fixed
That Date for Hearing of Vermont
Woman's Murder Case.

Washington, Oct. 17.--Supreme court
has set November six as the date for
hearing the case of Mrs. Mary Rogers,
under sentence of death of the Vermont
court, charged with numbering her hus-
band.
In presenting the case, Mr.. Fits said,
after reviewing antecedent proceedings;
"The appellee's contend that no fede-
raj question is presented in the case;
that since the Revised Statutes of the
United States, section 766, and every
act under the laws and constitution of
Vermont pending this appeal are null
and void, the legality of any further re-
prieve by the governor until this cause
is disposed of IS doubtful, and under sec
ton 1904 of the Vermont Statutes no
new sentence OF death can be imposed to
take effect until after the first day OF
January, 1907; therefore, if this cause
| is not heard and disposed of before Dec
ember s, 1905, there must result long
delay in carrying out the penalty imposed
| by the law for the crime of which the
appellant stands convicted"
| In opposing the motion to advance
Mrs. Rogers attorneys contend that
| the proceedings against her have beer
irregular and illegal, and add:
"1he supreme court having taker
| jurisdiction, it alone had authority ts
lfx the time, the time fixed by tria
Icourt having elapsed. The supreme
Ieourt, however, did not stay execution
Iof death sentence and did not fix tins
Ifor carrying it into effect. 1t now ha

NO ILLEGAL ACTION.
Statement Made on Newfoundland Fish
Quarrel.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 17.-Repre-
sentative Augustus H. Gardner and Ben
jamin A. Smith, Boston vessel owner,
yesterday called upon Secretary Root
to lay before him the grievances OF the
Gloucester fishermen in connection with
the Newfoundland herring fisheries.
After a long talk between Secretary
Root and Mr.. Gardner, action was post
poned until further information can he
obtained
1t was developed that the Newfound-
land authorities, through the British ann
bassador. have informed the state de-
partment that they know Of no such
action as stopping the Gloucester fisher
men from taking herring, in violation
of treaty rights. There is difference
Of opinion as to whether the Gloucester
fishermen were stopped because their
ships bore an American register, instead
Of fishing license, although it has been
held by the treasury department that
an American register carries a fishing
license with it.
This subject has formed the basis OF
several exchanges between the British
and American governments during the
past ftdiy anu nuW tHdb thC l,lftArA
ambassador has returned to Washington
the negotiations viii be resumed witt
the purpose finally to settle this ques
ton, which has threatened to becom,
acute as a result of the failure of the
Senate last year to act upon the Hay
Bond treaty with Newfoundland. Th'
issues are briefly stated as follows:
| Since the making OF the treaty o
Utrecht in 1918, American fishermen
have enjoyed the right TO fish alon,
: the shores of Newfoundland and Labra
dor and to enter the bays, harbors AM
creeks. According to the American
view, that right was confirmed by tn
treaty of 1878. French subjects enio.
the same rights in those waters, an
one fact that adds to the feeling o
irritation among the American isherme
on this subject is that no attempt ha
been made to include the French fisher
men in the prohibition directed agains
inshore fishermen.

Paterson's Missing Mayor
Fled to That Country.
WA RRANT FOR HIS ARREST
1t Is Said That He Was Twice Ar
rested En- Route, Once at San Fran
cisco and Again on Board
Ship.

Paterson, N. j., Oct. 17.--information
has been received in this city TO the
effect that William H. Belcher, former
mayor OF Paterson, who disappeared in
July last, has been located at Yebri,
Queensland, Australia. 1t is said that
Belcher il at that place with his old
friend, John Robertson, who left his
home in Paterson about fifteen years
ago. 1t is known that before Belcher
went away on July 81 he had been
corresponding with Robertson.
Detectives who have been searching
for Belcher have learned that on the
day he left Paterson he went to Newark,
where he boarded train for the West.
He arrived at San Deigo, Cal, some days
later. Belcher met friends there and
remained several days in San Deigo.
He shaved off his moustache, it is said,
and attempted in every way to disguise
himself. He did this when he learned
that warrant had been issued for
his arrest on a charge of embezzlement.
Belcher travelled under the name OF
William ri. Pitcher, and he assumed this
name when he engaged passage from san
Francisco to Honolulu. 1t is said that
Belcher was placed under arrest at San
Francisco, but as he denied his identity
and the authorities there could not
prove that he was the fugitive wanted
by the Paterson authorities, he was re.
leased. Subsequently Belcher was again
put under arrest while en- route to
Australia, but be again denied bis lden-
tity and succeeded in reaching New
South Wales on September l. lie con
tinued under the name Of Pitcher
until be reached Queensland, Australia
where he met his old friend Robertson
1t is said that Belcher was still theirs
when last heard from.
Whether the Paterson authorities vii
take any further action to bring Belch
en- back to Passaie county for trial re
mains to be SEEN 1t is known that .
day or two before Belcher left Paterson
he borrowed about $4,000 from friends
in this city. He left debts to the amount
Of over 100000.

An Arctic Dog.

1t IS said Of DR.. John Brown, the
genial and much-loved author Of .Rab
and His Friends" that he was personally
acquainted with every dog in Edinburgh.
Once while out driving he stopped in the
middle of a sentence and looked out
eagerly at the back of the carriage.
lis it some one you known asked the
friend who was with him.
NO. he replied; ait's a dog ! don't
know
An old resident Of Edinburgh tells
this story which has never before found
its way into print: A dog had recently
been brought to the city from Ireland,
and for long time apparently suffered
from all the pangs of inconsistencies.
DIR. Brown became much interested in
the animal, and tried frequently to COM
fort 1T. AT last, one day, he came to
the house of his friend, DIR. Peddie,
with a smiling face and said
THAT dog is all right now. He went
out last night and saw the pole star
and that has made him feel quite at
home here. Youths Companion.
