NO TARIFF REVISION
Says Representative Hepburn of Iowa
in Authorized Interview.

Des MOincs, Ia.. Oct. 29.-In an au-
thorizcd interview here Representa-
tive Hepburn Of the Sth district says
there will be no tariff revision at the
coming session.
II am satisfied" he added, that the
people of this country do not believe
there would be any measure of advan-
tage in the suggested tariff changes
which would compensate for the dis
turbance to business that would GER
tainly result from the effort to make
the change. The country is wonder
fully prosperous. The foreign trade
is constantly increasing. The exports
of last year are $4,000. 900 more than
those of the year before. The balance
between the exports and imports in
our favor is still increasing, and the
ma ajority Of people, | believe, prefer to
enjoy the conditions we have rather
than fly to the uncertainties attendant
upon a general Overhauling Of tariff
schedules"
When asked if he favored reduc-
tion Of the tariff on Philippine pro-
ducts. Col. Hepburn replied that, while
he was not disposed 10 commit him
sllf on the issue in advance Of the
meeting of Congress. he nevertheless
would say that he was satisfied that
even with the tariff on Philippine pro-
ducts totally obliterated they would
find a market in countries nearer to
them, and that for years to come not
a pound of Philippine sugar or tobacco
would land on American shores.

and a large hail, used for dances ana
other social occasions. Burglars also
looted the post office, securing over 500
in cash and a quantity of stamps. Total
loss, about $500; nturly covered by IN
surance.
The first news which reached here
was tclephoned from Shawmut about
o'clock. Saturday morning, to The
Gerald Night Clerk Leonard Brown
spread the news as soon as possible,
ana the hose team and several firemen
won't az once to the scene of the con-
fal.rl1ior. but it was too late to do any
good.
Th- nos, equipment at Shawmut was
:l-n ruw. rless to aid, as the fire had
gotten too much Of a headway before IT
MAS discovered, the roof falling in soon
after the alarm was given.
The fire was first discovered by Fred
Eichnrdson, VINO works nights in the
Pic Plate factory which IS situated
I!".,r IN" store. He awakened everybody
W. soon as he could, in the vicinity, but
tie G.c. was under such Roadway that
il WAS no use to make any effort TO
s.lv" anything.
The members Of the Fairfield fire de-
IaItm"mt nearly all gathered about tn"

M. Hume was tclephOncd to at
about tho same time that word WAS re-
ccirrd at The Gerald and he went at

al Il" was poWtrlesS to do anything.
As soon as the fumes had SubSided, SO
th.,t the fir"r1cn We're able 10 look over
the ruins, they found that the safe had
hrru blown and that the contents had
been taken.
The Iire was then 10 longer a nys-
terry. The motive was robbery. and the
burglars had escaped with everything
which hau been left in the safe.
1t was found that the thieves had
first entered the pool room and secured
Il Few dollar; there. This room WAS
situateu in tile rear of the store.
They then Went t. the front of the
store. where the post Office is situated,
nnh blew the safe. Ii is not known eX-
actly HOW much they secured, hut they
took the stamps. cash. etc. and ii Is
thought that it would amount in all to
about 500.
There are number Of different theo-
rics abroad in regard to how the store
caught fire 1t was at first thought that
the burglars had set fire to the building
to cover UP their work, but since then
it has been generally conceded that the
FIRE caught from clothing which was
put around the safe at the time it was
blown IN dCadcn the noise, and the
Suark> from the same setting it afire.
IN this way it was possible for il to
have smol,icred some little time before
breaking out. \ social dance was held
in the hall, last evening, and before the
break WAS discovered. it was thought
that the fire might have caught in
somc manner by some person who at
tended the dance Carelessly throwing
li,ltchcs or cigar stubbs around.
The building was Il two-story and a

HER MIND CLEARING.
Mrs. lngerick Tells of Murder o
Daughter and Onley Brothers.

MiddletoWn. y. V, Oct. 99.-After
killing the Onley brothers and Alice
lngerick near here, Oct. 6, the muir
dercr washed his hands and sat down
calmly and at the dinner which had
been prepared for the murdered ones.
This fact has been CLEANED from the
recollectiOns of Mrs. Ingerick. who. as
her mind gradually clears, is recalling
the events of that terrible day.
Mrs. Ingerick. Friday, told of doings
At the Onley farm up to 11.45 O'Clock, at
which time the murders are supposed
to have been committed. Previously
she had been unable to recall anything
after $50 on the morning of the murder.
She says that at 11.45. Willis and Fred
Onley came in to dinner. Both washed
their hands. and Fred took off his coat
(Which was on his body when found)
and hung it just outside the kitchen
door. Mrs. Ingerick cut up some meat
and potatoes for her little daughter.
and she started to eat them. while the
brothers were standing by their chairs.
At this point her memory fails. She
had made an apple pie for dinner.
The first persons to enter the house
after tie murder found the larger part
of the potatoes on the little girls plate,
but the other plates had not been eaten
from. The pie tin was empty, and a
quantity of meat and potatoes gone.
This conclusively proves that the muir
derer, after committing his terrible
crime. ate the dinner which had been
prepared for his victims. Mrs. Ingerick
thus leads uD ii the very moment Of
the murder. and it is expected that be-
fore "A hours she will tell more.

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 25.-(Spe-
cial)-After suffering from Kidney
Disease for three years, after taking
treatment from six different doctors
without getting relief, Mr.. J. o. Laude-
man OF this place found not only relief
but a speedy and complete cure in
Dodd's kidney Pills. Speaking of his
cure, Mr.. Laudeman says:
Yes, l suffered from Kidney Trou-
Bile for three years and tried six doc
tors to no good. Then l took just two
boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they
not only cured my kidneys, but gave
me better health in general. Or course
l recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to
others and | know a number now who
are using them with good results
Mr.. L~audeman's case is not an ey-
ception. Thousands give similar expe-
riences. For there never yet was Il
case Of Kidney Trouble from Backache
to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills could not cure. They are the
only remedy that ever cured Bright's
Disease.

Takina Precautions.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Governor Blanchard. of Louisiana, was
describing the precautions that a certain
veteran physician had taken against the
spread Of a contagious disease.
Knowing the people he had to deal
with" Governor Blanchard said, "he saw
that his rules were carried out before one
of these people left their homes. They
had tricked him in the past. He would
not be tricked again. He was like the
Camden clergyman of my %boyhood.
This clergyman once married a certain
huckster who. after the cmo de-
ciared he was unable to pay a Wedding
fee, and so, willy nilly, the clergyman had
to let him off.
Some years later the good man found
the same huckster before him with an
other woman. His first wife had died.
Now he desired to yoke with a second.
The minister was willing enough to
remarry the man. but this time he would
take precautions.
so. leading the bridegroom to one side,
he held out his hand and said in a low
voice:
My fee
"'Oh, yes, of course. said the husilster
confusedly, and he placed a banknote in
the clergyman's palm.
Thank YOU said the clergyman, with
a bland smile. That is for the first time.
Now we will have the fee for this occasion,
,lease.'"

Stimulants and Nerves,

Golfers Weekly: The canteen Ii
defended by medical authorities
and by leading army officers,
and opposed mainly by people to
whom temperance is a matter less Of
scientific than of semi-religious
thought; and the army canteen is the
only national temperance Issue at pres
ent, although states and towns are x
perimenting with various aspects Of
prohibition and license. We have lust
been reading some Italian statistics
which undertake to show that children
with nervous diseases are usually the
issue of parents who drink. The statis-
tician found that 80 per cent. OF the
children whom he examined We're alb
normal ~nervously, a fact which he at
tributed In part to the stress of modern
life, but more especially to stimulants
taken by the parents. and among slim
ulants primarily alcohol. Facts. as he
remarks, are more eloquent than De-
mosthenes, n he is satisfied that the
facts onnec drinking with the ner-
volis diseases which he deems peculiar
to our times. Actually the evidence
about the effects of stimulants in mod
Grafton is still insufficient. That drink
is a frigltful evil nobody denies.
Whether to the temperate nature slim
t;ulants in general, coffee, tea, liquor. to-
! bacco, are good or evil. is far from
proved. People living amid the CITY
rush, in the center of excitement, APP
parently live as long as their relatives
in the country, and are as likely to be
healthy. Nervous diseases may be less
the product of modern haste than the
discovery of modern science. We ara
all the time discovering new diseases.
and all she time the death rate grows
less. We Hy longer as we understand
more. While 1t is clear, therefore. that
~stinlniants OF any kind are dangerous.
1T is not clear that nervous diseases are
more frequent than they were before
they We're discovered. and 1t is not clear
that the general excitement Of life Is
unhealthy.
