POLITICS Is AT
WHITE HEAT
PenItentIsry Sensation Causes q SHARP
Alignment OF T sctlens.

Politics is sizzing and popping around
the state house like a pan Of frog IcgS,
ind the issue of Nardaman vs.. McLau-
rim Ia now more squsrely before the leg
~islative body than at any time since tho
beginning OF the session.
The air is 80 heavily charged with
political electricity around the big
building that it's presence n hc in"
stinctively felt, even by stranger, the
moment his foot hits tho marble noors
of the main entrance.
Almost the solo topic of discussion for
the past twenty-four hours has been tho
sensational answer made by DIR. J. L.
Berry, physician at tho Oakland hospital,
to the charges preferred against him by
the ~penitentiary Investigating commit
tee. It il by far the most torrld utter
ance that has yet been made concerning
prison affairs, and tho many direct
thrusts at persons high in Official life 1t

ment among the members.
No amount Of s~idestepping can evsde
the fact that a deep game OF politics ia
involved in the psnitentiary cont
mittee report. This Is the way 1t is
generally construed, and eycn II It il
taken for granted that tho committee
had no political aninua whatever In its
sensational report, the result is jnst the
same, for it more plainly defines the war
between the McLaurin and Nardaman
factions which was ~inaugurated at tho
beginning of the session whom the gov
ernor In his biennial message made a
sweeping denunciatios Of the peniten-
tiary wardens for the past ten years,
and which brought forth a sultry reply
from u. s. Senator A. J. Mciaurin, who
strongly defended the character OF his
dead brother, Walter McLaurin, for
mar warden Of tho prison.
This declaration Of war was immedi-
ately followed by the star chamber SEES
sions of the p~enitentiary committee, and
there was a cessation Of hostillties, on
the surface, at least, until the report OF
the committee was cent in, Immediately
followed by the dissent and denuncia"
ton from Mr.. Cavett, Of Noxubee, who
boldly charged that politics was the sole
animus Of the committee.
And now comes DR.. Berry's answer.
DIR. Berry 10 a s~on-in-law Of United
States Senator A. j. McLaurln, and Mr..
! Cavett says that this has been bis only
> crime. The Berry reply makes II ap"
parent that the McLaurin faction con-
! strues the report as a political attack,
| and that it is a strong document none
, will dispute.
l There Is one feature involved that 10
Z forcing itself to the attention OF the
more conservative and non-partlsan
i members OF both branches OF tho legis-
~lature. What has heretofore been said
= has been rather mild and tame an com
pared with what will come when tho
. proposition to change the system of
: prison management comes up for debate,
It IL gravely feared that this fierce fac.
tional aght will 10 greatly retard the
" routine OF legislative work that 1t will

by the 1ith OF April, and perhaps cause

SPEED OF ANIMALS.
The Greyhound Leads. Followed by
the Horse aud the Red Deer.

The Greyhound Leads. Followed by
the Horse aud the Red Deer.
The following interesting letter CON
corning the relative speed Of animals
appeared IN the London Field:
The fastest animal we have is the
greyhound The next are the race
horse. the red deer and the hare. aud
then comes the good. big. bold dog
fox, which is n fine gallOper OH good
going. In comparison with any of
the above the fastest fo1hound on
sound fat turf is as slow as n man
moving grass for haymaking But If
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good For instance.
OH rough clOds. whether melted or not.
hare cannot run ut all; hence she gen
orally takes care not TO go there. and
where greyhounds are kept she habitu-
ally lies in her form near the fringe of
a rough fallow that when cOursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long. powerful hind legs a hare
can beat anything up a steep hill A
foXhound can easily beat any horse
over deep clay plow, because the horse
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt
ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter. though the horse may not
be faster. but great consideration must
be made for the discretion of n good
horSeman. who avoids exhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
A run OF eight miles within the hour
in either Of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body of the
field behind. but 1t would be easy to n
riding man on a gallOping horse when
the March winds have dried the coun-
try and the obstacles are only ordinary.

AMERICANS ARE
KAISER'S GUESTS
kANsAN AND INDlANEAN ARE TO
ATTEND WEDDING ANNIvER-
sARY OF EMPEROR WILLIAM.

Special to the Herald.
Berlin, Feb. 26.-Few prouder OF
happier men are to be found in Der
lin today than Stephen Hesse OF
Wichita. Kas., and William H. Dun.
ming. whose home is in Richmond,
Ind. After a pleasant voyage across
the Atlantic in the giant steamship
Amerika, the two men have arrived
safe and sound in the German capital
to attend the silver wedding anniver-
sary of the Emperor and Empress,
which will be celebrated tomorrow,
as will also the marriage of the i'm
perial couples second son, Prince
Eitel Fritz and the Duchess of Olden-
burg.
The two voyagers from across the
seas have come TO attend the celebra-
ton at the invitation of Emperor Will
liam. The two men were present at
the Emperor's wedding service twen-
ty-five years ago as members of the
First Bodyguard of Grenadiers. They
acted as escort of the bride-to-be, the
Princess of Schleswig- HOlstein. from
the garrison at Potsdam to the castle.
The Kaiser has kept a warm spot in
his heart for the regiment of which
he was the commander at the time of
his marriage. Hence it was that he
decided TO invite as many members
as were still alive to attend the eel
ebration.
Berlin is DOMINIC gala attire in an.
ticipation of tomorrow's celebration.
Public and private buildings are re-
splendant in the national colors, and
pictures of the Emperor and Empress
and other members of the imperial
family are to be seen at every turn.
In accordance with the Emperor's
wish the celebration will be purely a
family affair No invitations to for
eign sovereigns have been issued for
the celebration. Only such royal per-
sonages will participate as rank
among the intimate friends Of the |
Emperor and Empress. In all the |
churches, however, there will be spec
ial services of thanksgiving, and the
anniversary will be marked further by |
the dedication of numerous charitable
institutions throughout the empire,
the most of which are to bear the |
name of the Emperor and that of his
wne.
Many costly gifts are being received |
at Potsdam from the various courts of
Europe. The municipalities of Ger
many also are sending presents, and
other gifts and messages of congrat-
ulation are pouring in from societies
and other sources.

KEEPS UP WITH TIMES.
Bratton Has New Remedy for Stom
ach Trouble that He Guarantees
Will Cure.

In keeping with their custom of
always ordering a supply of new rem
edies as soon as their value has been
established, Bratton Drug Co have OBJ
tanned a supply of Mona, a remedy
for stomach troubles that absolutely
cures and restores lost functions of
the digestive organs.
Until recently ii was thought that
pepsin was valuable i'm the treatment
of stomach troubles, but il is now
known that while pepsin aids in d.
gesting meats, it has no effect upon
starchy food, such as potatoes, rice,
bread, corn meal, etc. AS the major
ity of stomach troubles come from
Indigestion of starchy foods, this
makes pepsin absolutely useless in
most cases.
On the other hand, Mona con-
tains no pepsin, acts directly upon
the gastric glands. restores the lost
functions of the digestive organs, re-
wives tagging nutrition, aids in as
sanitation of foods and. in fact, so
strengthens the whole digestive sys-
TEN that you can eat anything at any
time without fear of Indigestion.
Weakness, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, headaches, backaches, iurred
tongue. pain and distress after eat
ing, and debility are the result of a
weak and faulty digestion. Use
Mi-o-na, and all these symptoms will
be overcome, and you wilt have per-
feet health.
Get SO cent box of Mi-o-na tab.
lets today from Bratton Drug Co,
who will guarantee to refund the
money If Mi-o-na does not cure.
