Because the liver is
neglected people suffer

neglected people suffer
with constipation, biliousness,
headaches and fevers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford's Black Draught is SO
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con-
stipation and may be taken by a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. It has an in
MIGRATING effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed-
ford's Black Draught removes the
dangers which Turk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads Of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for q

put his arguments in the form of an af-

went to the senator's Office, where two
afidavits were prepared without cost to
them. Senator Mitchell then read to
the senate the two afidavits.
The senator recalled that in the last
three years he had been overwhelmed
with letters from Oregon requesting him
to ascertain the status of entries and
seeking his aid in getting the considera-

throuGhout yesterday material losses being suffered
in practically the entire list The break was most
pronounced in the last hour. and closing prices
were. as a rule. the lowest OF the day various
disquietiug rumors accompanied the rapid down
ward movement of securities. The new develop
ments in the Equitable situation and the growing
figures OF the BigeIow defalcation, in Milwaukee
with the astonishing revelations Of the lax
business methods of the dsgraced bank execu
tive played their part in unsettling public conf
denca and inducing liquidation and short selling
and there was heard in various quarters an I'M
confirmed rumor Of recent defalcation by an ON
Ger Of a local financial institution TO the amount
OF nearly S2O00OOo. A report that Jacob H. Schn
had resigned from the Union Pacific directorate
proved untrue: but toward the close the announce
rnent that George ]. Gould had retired from the
board added to the general weakness and was
taken as an explanation in part Of the earlier
selling of Union Pacific and other railway shares
which had been under pressure all day.

Resignation Mag Portend HostiIties
zoith Hartman Road.

George ]. Gould yesterday resigned as a mem
Der of the executive committee ana as direct
or of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. In
confirming the report of his retirement Mr..
Gould said late yesterday
Il have put in my resignation because I
thought that as I am interested in the Western
Pacific it would not be right for me to remain
on the board of a competing line. I do not think
that the resignation should be considered as
having any other significance"
''Will you resign from the Oregon Short Line
also?' was asked.
Certainly. yes"
How about the Burlington"
Il cannot say as to that
Mr.. Goulds action. which did not become gen
orally known in Wall Street until almost the
close was believed to have been one of the in
huences contributing to the weakness of the
market during the day. as it was commonly as
suned that the step was primarily an outcome Of
the inharmonious feeling which has long been
understood to exist between Mr.. Gould and Mr.
Hartman. The inference was drawn that with
the former entirely ASSOCIATED from the Union
Pacific management the way would be clear for
possible hostities between the Union Pacific
and Missouri Pacific systems. which might re-
suit in heavy loss to both on the completion of
the Western Pacific. the Gould outlet to the
Coast. That Mr.. Gould's resignation could be
regarded as a move hostile tc them. however
was denied by influential Union Pacific interests.
For nearly two years. they said. the Missouri
PaciAc's president had from motives Of delioacy
as the head of parallel and competing system.
taken little or no part in the deliberations Of the
Union Pacific board attending few of the meet
ings of that body and fewer of the executive
committees meetings.
