ance companies and other corpora

Will insure a safety Of investment
which the public desires. I do not
care to talk about the extravaganza
which has been exposed further than
to say that in my judgment such
thing will be impossible after the
present investigation is concluded"
Asked if he thought one result
would be the placing of insurance on
a cheaper basis Mr.. Morton replied:
Il hardly think so. The people do
not want cheap insurance, but they do
want safe insurance. My observation
has been that cheap insurance Is
never safe insurance. Insurance has
become an acknowledged investment,
one in which a man does not have to
wait for death before anybody can OBJ
tain any good from it. Being a legiu-
mate and good investment and being
recognized as such the public has a
right to demand that It be safe.
MY belief is that the present agita-
ton is going to bring about just that
result-the guarantee of a safe invest
ment in insurance. Hereafter men
who run insurance companies will not
dare to do anything that will make in
vestment in their companies other
than safe, for fear of exposure and
condemnation by the public"

Those who haven't the nerve to try
skating may derive considerable enjoy
ment from observation of the whirl-
ing multitude and Messrs Webb and
Williams have very thoughtfully pro-
vided a gallery where this class may
fill their eye at leisure.
The resort (the word is not used in
the police court sense) is fully
equipped with all modern skating rink
appliances including several uni
formed floor walkers, whose duty
it is to bawl out those who do not
conform with the rules. The house
rules include no smoking, no fast driv-
ing, no rowdy-dowdy language, etc.
Among the unposted rules are:
"Gentlement will please refrain from
skating on the neck, as it is consid-
cred very bad form and is hard on
the floor.
Patrons carrying a package viii
please check same at police station.

same rule applies to those carrying

tolerated. Keep in the channel and

FAREWELL TO WRIGHT.
All Nationalities Unite in Honoring
the Governor General.

Manila, Nov. 1.-The farewell ban
quet to Governor Luke E. Wright was
attended by many army officers and
civilians and was one of the most pop
ular demonstrations sever given to an
official of the islands. The governor
was toasted by Americans, English
men, Spaniards and Filipinos. He was
cheered for ten minutes when he arose
to speak. In his address he gave credit
to his colleagues for the work that had
been accomplished. He said there never
had been personal differences between
the commissioners. From the first they
had never been conscious of swerving
from the policy of President Mckinley.
He urged the people to cease political
discussions and work for the develop
ment of the islands. He said what
ever may be the utterance of any
American. however distinguished, he
speaks for himself alone. Congress
speaks for the people In view of what
has been accomplished may not the
most suspicious Filipino trust the gov
ernment.''
He expressed faith in the future Of
the archipelago and his belief that
congress would act favorably toward
them. A declaration that he expected
to return in a few months was greet
ed with great applause.
A public reception which viii be ten
dered to Governor Wright and family
on Friday promises to eclipse any sim
liar event ever given here.

The new rink caters to the respect
able class and is located convenient
" to the police station. By attach
ing a pair of skates to the right part
of a rough-neck, it would be almost
possible for a husky bouncer to throw
him SO that he would glide into the
station door. However it is not ex-
pected that the Webb-Williams rink
win become a favorite hang-out for
rowdies.
The opening services made a show
ing which should cheer the manage
rnent. The ten-year-old enthusiast
and the antique ex-champion brushed
shins in pursuit of the popular sport.
The dainty little maiden held hands
with the long-haired Willie, as they
glided gracefully among the half-baked
experts who frequently Uttered the
floor.
There is nothing ike roller skating

It is great business.

as one of the main guys of the rink,
stirred up lot of admiration and no
little applause last night by appearing

NOBODY IS EXEMPT.
\ New Preparation Which Everyone
WIN Need sooner or Later.

Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the COM
monest thing they do for it is to take
some one of the many so-called blood
purifiers, which, in many cases, are
merely strong cathartics. Such things
are not needed. If the organs are in
a cIogged condition. they need only a
little help and they will right them
selves. Cathartics irritate the sensi-
tive Innings of the stomach and bowels
and often do more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in con-
dition to be readily digested and as
simulated Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
do this perfectly. They partly digest
what is eaten and give the stomach
Just the help it needs. They stimulate
the secretion and eXcretion of the di-
gestive fluids and relieve the con-
gested condition of the glands and
membranes. They put the whole di-
gestive system in condition to do it's
work. When that is done you need
take no more tablets, unless you eat
what does not agree with you. Then
take one or two tablets-give them
needed help, and you viii have no
trouble.
It's a common-sense medicine and
common-sense treatment, and it will
cure every time. Not only cure the
about it in perfectly sensible and
scientific way.
We have testimonials enough to fill
a book, but we don't publish many of
them. However-AIrs. E. NJ. Faith, of
Bvrd's Creek, Wis, says
II have taken all the Tablets [ got
of you and they have done their work
well in my case, for I feel like a diff
ferent person altogether. | don't
doubt if I had not got them I should
have been at rest by this time"
II. e; Willard, Onslow, Ia says:
Mr.. White, Of Canton, was telling me
of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing him
of Dyspepsia, from which he suffered
for eight years. As am a sufferer
myself wish you TO send me a pack
age by return mail"
Phil. Brooks. Detroit. Mich, saws.
your Dyspepsia cure has worked
wonders in my case. I suffered for
years from dyspepsia. but am now en-
tirely cured and enjoy life as 7 never
have before. I gladly recommend
them.
It win cost soc to find out Just how
much Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets VIII
help you. Try them-that's the best
way to decide.

as has been very prominent in charita-
bic work in the city. and was president
last year Of the Z. and I. club, charit-
table organization.

which showed that 50, 1876 had been
received and expended by the associa-
ton during the past year.
sIn his address DR.. Van Horn said
1--WE owe it to the less fortunate that
the help they need should be given in a
proper manner. Should this association
announce that several thousand dollars
had been donated for charity, every
drunken, lazy. lawless person in this
city would give us a call and insist on
his share. On che other hand the poor,
worthy, self-respectin class would con-
tinue to suffer every hardship"

enough to establish a school of domestic
science for high school girls who wish
to become trained house servants.

stopped the production Of George Ber-
nard Shaw's play, Mrs Warren's Pro-
fession,'' by arresting Samuel Gumpertz,

appearance, on charge of offending
public decency in sanctioning the per-
Torrance. Police Commissioner Nc

ing Mary Shaw, Arnold DAILY, Chrys-
tai Herne, John Finlay. Fred Tyler and
George Warren, and also former State
Senator w H. Reynolds, owner Of the
Garrick theater.
Police Commissioner NGcAdoo himself
saw the play and conferred with Mayor
Mcclellan before issuing his order. He
warned the company that anyone par
ticipating in further performances of
this play would be arrested.
While the money viii be refunded for
seats purchased, many persons will be
losers through having purchased tickets
from spectators at exorbitant prices.
Arnold Daily made the following state
ment at the office of his counsel:
II announced in the beginning that I
would constitute the dramatic critics OF

ness or unfitness of Mrs. Warren's Pro-

INCREASE OF 20 PER CENT.
Is Shown in the Growth Of Chicago's
Business in a year.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-WhoIesale trade
and manufacturing industries in vol
ume of business have increased 20 per
cent for the year ended yesterday, Oc-
tober 81 over the record of the pre-
ceding Il months and 100 per cent over
ten years ago. In four years they have
treb1ed.
The figures were obtained from the
publicity department of the Chicago
Commercial association. In many lines
the percentage is even higher than that
recorded in the foregoing tables, nota-
bly, in clothing and in boots and shoes,
but 20 per. cent has been taken as a con-
servativei basis, including all branches
of trade.
The increase in business in the last
year is regarded as the more remark
able in view Of the long teamsters'
strike during the summer. It is con-
sidered that this reduced the Increase
by at least per cent.

How Patrons May Swap Their
Clothing for Skates.

About two hundred people, some
of them old enough to know better,
and some Of them young enough to
know better, initiated the Webb-Wii-
hams skating snatatorium" on Jack
son street last night. The rink is a
large one, but the crowd Of skaters
taxed the limit.
Twenty-Five years ago the people of
Topeka wore out two or three floors
In the old shack at Seventh and Van
Buren, street which is now used as a
horse hotel learning how to navigate
roller skates. When you take that
into consideration, you can readily
realize why a lot of the elderly per-
sons who were seen on the floor last
night refrained from skating on their
ears. They learned the game when
it was new.
