NIEDRINGHAUS is IN
Elected Senator From Missouri
in Spite of All

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Jan. IL
Thomas Kay Niedringhaus, of st. Louis,
vote cast in both houses Of II the Nj missouri souri,
legislature for United States senator to
succeed Francis M. Cockrell. He re-
eeived majority of eight on joint bal
lot. The voting in both houses resulted
Niedringhaus, ~; Cockrell, 5S;
kerens, 1; Bittinger, /.
.Niedringhaus, II; Cockrell,, o..
-Niedringhaus, 80, Cockrell, 80;
Kerens, 1 Bittinger, /.
With the exception of the two votes for
kerens and Bittinger, the Republicans had
the caucus nominee despite the ssrumors
that seven OF the members of the house
would bolt.
The majority report of the house in
.vestigating committee submitted today
relative to its investigation into compaign
fund contributions. says:
We find that Thomas K. Niedringhaus
did not contribute $4,000 to the Repub-
ican central committee of the city OF st.
Louis, during the recent campaign. We
find. that the entire amount was actually
paid out of the personal account of Mr..
Niedringhaus and that he was personally
guaranteed by Adolphus Busch in the
sum of $12, 500, which amount was actually
paid over to Mr. Nfedringhaus by Mr..
Busch and that Mr.. Niedringhaus was
further guaranteed in $3.50 by Otto F.
Stige1, OF which guarantee no part has
yet been paid. We find that the action
of Mr.. NiedringhauS was instigated solely
by a desire to comply with the law and
was such as any loyal party man might
have done under the circumstances. We
find that his action was honest and above
criticism.
The minority report was practically the
same as the senate report.
Circuit Attorney Arthur Sagre made a
hurried trip here from ST. Louis. He
said:
IF the facts justify proceedings under
section 7176 of the Revised Statutes, 1899,
/ will institute tllem.''
The section forbids any corporation to
influence or attempt to influence the re-
election of any person to Office.

TO increase in wealth, population and
general advancement
Appleton, the largest city in Swift
county, is beautifully situated on the
banks of the Pomnle de Terre river,
| about three miles above its confluence
With the Minnesota river and in the
southwest corner of Swift county, and
has population of 1000 people. Ap-
pleton has two railroads. the Great
Northern and the Chicago, Milwaukee
q st. Paul, which give the town direct
communication with the Twin Cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul, and all i'm
portant points in all directions The
Great Northern railway also gives the
town direct communication with Du-
1uth and penetrating the great wooded
regions of the north.
The Pomme de Terre river. rising
hundred miles to the north, makes it's
way through woodland and prairie. url-
til nearing APPLETON, it breaks into a
series of rapids, affording excellent
water power for all mill purposes, and
the ground slopes gently down to the
very banks of the river, solving in adj
vance the problem of drainage. The
population of Appleton is composed
principally Of Americans Scandina-
vians and Germans. 1t is city of
homes, nearly all the citizens owning
their own residence property.
The city is tastefully laid out, it's at
tractive dwellings,, it's churches, school
houses, its clean streets and shade
trees, all make a picture of homelike
beauty, While its business streets,
teeming with busy throngs convey an
impression of prosperity seen; in but
few Western towns. Appleton's
growth has been natural, her progress
steady. 1t could not be otherwise
when her many and great advantages
are considered. In. every direction,
from Appleton stretches a region of
country as fair as the eye has ever

PUTTING IT STRONG
But Doesn't IT Look ReasonabIe2 2

This may read as though we were put
ting it a little strong because it is gen
orally thought by the majority of people
that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is in
curable, or practically so. But we have
long since shown that Dyspepsia is cura-
BILE, nor is 1t such a difficult matter as at
first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves or going to the opposite ex-
treme or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach with "bitters,'' "after
dinner pills. ETC., which invariably in
crease the difficulty even if in some cases
they do give slight temporary relief
Such treatment of the stomach simply
makes matters worse. What the stom-
ach wants is a rest. Now how can the
stomach become rested, recuperated and
at the same time the body nourished and
sustained?
: This is a great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a
comparatively new remedy but its sue
cess and popularity leave no doubt as
to its merit.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia, according to
directions, is to eat an abundance of good,
Wholesome food and use the tablets be-.
fore and after each meal and the result
viii be that the food will be digested no
matter how bad your Dyspepsia may be,
because, as before stated, the tablets will
digest the food even II the stomach
is wholly inactive. To illustrate our
meaning plainly, If you take 1900 grains
of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place
it in a temperature of 9S degrees, and
put with it one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets it will digest the meat or eggs
almost as perfectly as if the meat was
enclosed within the stomach
The stomach may be ever SO weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion and the body and brain viii be
properly nourished and at the same time
radical, lasting cure of Dyspepsia will
be made because the much abused stom-
ach viii be- given, to some extent
much needed rest Your druggist will
tell you that of all the many remedies
advertised to cure Dyspepsia none of
them have given SO complete and general
satisfaction as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, and not least in importance in these
hard times is the fact that they are also
the cheapest and give the most good for
the least money.

cumstantial evidence ever introduced
in a court of justice.
:. He vividlye portrayed the accepted
theory as to how the deed was COM
mitted, saying thatsit was, done by a
person who was "a student of human
anatomy, as all the hammer blows and
knife wounds We're inflicted on vital
parts of the head and neck and could
not have been the work of maniac.
The well planned method of escape
was conclusive evidence, said Gen.
Childs. He stated that much of the
factured, and scored Attorney Somer-
vile for taking the stand, as he was
interested in the case as an attorney
for the defense. The defense was re-
buked for not producing the cleW
which they said would give the citi-
zens' committee an opportunity to ap-
prehend the real murderer. He also
laid stress on the fact that the defense
had not produced the old hammer for
merly on the Koch homestead. The
disappearance of DR.. Koch's cravenette
coat three weeks after the murder, the
finding of his lead pencil and the
handkerchief marked '.G. r. X" all
tended to convince a rational mind
that the defendant was not wrongfully
accused. He closed with a fervid plea
The jury listened with marked atten-
ton and did not show signs Of weari7
ness.
Brown for the Defense
Attorney L. L. Brown, for the de-
tense, began his plea at o'clock and
spoke one hour, when court adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
He laid particular stress on the in
advisability of jeopardizing the life of
DIR. Koch on purely circumstantial evil
.dence and Iabored to convince the
jury that the environments of the ac-
cused man were such that it was well
nigh impossible to connect him with
the diabolical act of which he is ae-
cused.
1t is expected that the case will go
to the jury tomorrow afternoon.

Turned Against His Church
F. S. Fernstrom, of Salt Lake. who
has been a Mormon for more than thir-
ty years, swore that August I.und-
strom, witness for the protestants.
who gave what he alleged to be the
endowment house ceremony, could not
be believed under oath. He said LInd-
strom turned against the church be-
cause he was asked to pay money he
borrowed from his bishop. c. P. An
derson, an assistant editor of Swe-
dish paper at Salt Lake, eorroborated
Mr. Fernstrom's testimony.
Jeus Christian Nielsen, a Danish
Mormon, testified that he was the hus-
band of Mrs. Annie Elliott, who was a
witness for the protestants concerning
the endowment house ceremony She
also testified that Nielsen died six
years ago. He was put on the stand
for the purpose of discrediting the tes-
timeny of Mrs. Elliott She obtained

CANADA IS HELD
ALOOF FROM BOSTON
Latter's Chamber of Commerce Regrets
Failure of Reciprocity

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 17-At the an
nual meeting of the Boston Chamber of
Commerce today Henry III. Whitney
was elected president. The yearly re-
port of the board of directors consid-
cred. the decline in the foreign COM
merce of the port of Boston since 1901.
Chief among the causes was placed the
alleged discrimination praeticed by
trunk line railroads. On grain exports
and reciprocity with Canada, the report
says:
So severe was the decline in the
volume of grain coming to this port for
export during the first half year that
the rates for local inspection were in
creased from 80 cents to so cents per
car and for inspection into elevators
from 80 cents to SO cents per 100 bush
els. For many years this organization
has been strong advocate of more
liberal trade relations with Canada.
We regret to say that no definite prog
-reSs has yet been made"
