PARKER TALKING
OF ". R. HEARST
SAYS EDITOR WILL RUN AS INDIE.
PENDENT CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR
Recalls Statement Made In Brooklyn
Interview June 12-Independent Par.
ty is Working for t.earst - Judge
Names Available Men.

Utica, N. Y, July SO-Alton B. Par
ker, democracy's standard bearer in
1904, in an interview here, discussed
that the democratic party was rich in
men who could fill the Office Of COVER
nor, and mentioned among others eX-
Judge D. Cady Herrick, the party's
nominee at the last gubernatorial cleo
ton; John B. Stanchfield, of Elmira,
Mayor Adam, of Buffalo, Francis Bur-
ton Harrison, of New York, John G.
Milburn, of Buffalo; William Church
Osborne, of Putnam county, District
Attorney William Travers Jerome, Of
New York; Justice William F. Gaynor,
Martin w. Littleton and Edward M.
Circuit, of Brooklyn. Mr.. Parker said
that while, with possibly two excep-
tions, none of these men was a candi-
date, yet he did not believe that any
of them would refuse to serve if called
upon.
But" said the interviewer, you
have not mentioned Mr.. Hearst, who is
discussed every day as a candidate"
Recalls Statement.
''The last utterance of Mr.. Hearst
have read" said Mr. Parker, was to
the effect that he intended to accept
the nomination of the Independent
league. He stated in an interview in
the Brooklyn Eagle of June IL: If
am nominated by the independence
party it will be on a platform that ex-
presses the principles | believe, and
will make the campaign on that plat
form and no other consideration will
enter into the matter. There will be
no deal or bargain made With the lead
ers of any political machine. but every
one indorsing the sentiment of the in
dependence party will be invited to
support its candidates. That lang
uage is unambiguous, and announces
clearly his intention to be candidate
on the platform only of the independ-
ence league"
"But that was June 49," said the in
terviewer, "and since then men who
were at work during the year building
up the independence league have been
openly striving for the control of the
democratic caucuses in order to Sc.
cure delegates to the democratic con
vention favorable to Mr.. Hearst, and
some such delegates have been elect
ed. 1t is asserted in many quarters
and, indeed, believed, that the hide
pendence league was organized to com
pei the democratic party to accept Mr.
Hearst as It's nominee"
Over Jealous Friends.
while | know" Mr.. Parker replied
chat such assertions are constantly
made and some delegates to the demo
cratic convention favorable to Mr.
Hearst have been chosen, it would
seem as If all this should be credited
to overzealous friends, for certainly
Mr.. Hearst is too shrewd man to be
lieve 1t possible that democratic con
vention will ever be made up of dele
gates SO absolutely pusillanimous as tx
surrender to one demanding that the
party deliver up to him the honor ant
power he coyets or suffer defeat

Aunt Mary's "ouiet" Funeral.

A dear old New England spinster,
the embodiment of the timid and
shrinking, passed away at Carlsbad,
where she had gone for her health.
Her nearest kinsman, nephew, or
dered the body sent back to be buried
as was her last wish-in the quiet
little country churchyard. His sur
prise can be imagined, when, on open
ing the casket, he beheld, instead of
the placid features of his Aunt Mary,
the majestic port of an English gen.
eral in full regimentals, whom lie re-
membered had chanced to die at the
same time and place as his aunt. At
once he cabled to the generals heirs,
explaining the situation and requesting
instructions. They came back as
follows: Give the general quiet fu-
neral. Aunt Mary inferred to-day with
full military honors. six brass bands,

The Same Old Ratlons.

Subsistence supplies of kind SINH.

the Philippines and Porto Rico will be
used by the army in Cuba in the event
of Intervention by the United States,
The troops will be given in rations
what they have been accustomed to
and not what anyone might suggest
they ought to have for service in tropi-
cal countries.
Some military observers marveled at
the wonderful amount of work accom-.
pIished by the Japanese soldiers on a
Diet of rice and dried fish. 1t was sug.
Eested that American soldiers when
performing services in tropical coun.
tries ought to be given large amount
Of rice in their .rations. This question
was considered by the army authori-
ties, and they decided adversely to the
rice diet A strong, sustaining Amer
lean ration will be given the soldiers
II they go to Cuba-just as good ra-
ton as now is served to them at their
stations in this country. No chances
will be taken on creating discomfort
among the troops by denying to them
proper things to eat to which they
have been accustomed.

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds Ia
Weight and Became Well by Taking
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future in their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,
for the better if the system is purified by
such tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. d. @. Wedding, of Hartford, KY,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
81 was seriously ill and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming in my head and nervous
troubles.
"Iwas under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and L decided that would
try them. The very first box I took
made me feel better and when 1 had
tisken four boxes more 1 was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in tie best OF
health. l have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people on ac-.
count of what they did for me, and feel
that cannot praise them too strongly"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishmens. Any woman
who is interested in the cure of Mrs. We'd
ding will want our book, "Plain Talks to
Women" which is free on request.
All druggists sell Dr. Williams Pink
Pills, or they will be sent by mail post
paid, ON receipt of price, so cents per box,
six boxes for So. 80, by the DIR. Williams

San Francisco Bank Robbery.

San Francisco.-Two robbers en-
tered the Kimmon Ginllo, Japanese
bank, also known as the Golden Gate
Bank, at 1888 O'Farrell street, Wednes-
day at noon, and after fatally beating
S. Urakata, the manager of the bank,
and seriously slugging s. Sataksaki, a
clerk, with a piece of gas pipe, escaped
with $4,000 in gold. Major Urakata
died two hours afterward from his in
juries. The robbers chose a time
when there were but few persons
transacting business in the bank and
the sensational and bold deed was so
quickly effected that it was all over
before the crowd of people passing the
doors of the institution were aware of
what had taken place.

Ears Looked as II They Would Drop
OH-Face Mass of Sores-Cured
by Cuticura in Two Weeks
for 75c.

'T feel it my duty to parents OF
other poor suffering babies to tell
you what Cuticura has done for my
little daughter She broke out all
over her body with humor, and we
used everything recommended, but
without results. l called in three doc
tors, they all claimed they could help
her, but she continued to grow worse.
Her body was a mass of sores, and
her little face was being eaten away;
her ears looked as if they would drop
off. Neighbors advised me to get
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and
before had used half of the cake
of Soap and box of Ointment the
sores had all healed, and my little
ones face and body were as clear
as newborn babes. 1 would not
be without it again if it cost five dol
lars, instead of seventy-five cents.

LAY DOWN ARMS

Havana.-The alacrity with which
the rebels are laying down their arms
to the commission appointed to super
intend that important phase of the ter
mination of the revolution is the great
est surprise the provisional govern
ment has encountered in its smooth
working program.
This operation is now well under
way in the vicinity of Havana, 700 Of
Guerra's men, with their horses hav-
ing already been entrained for Pinar
Del Rio, while one brigade marched to
Guanajay Wednesday without a sign
of disorder.
Hundreds of persons from Havana
went out TO Santiago De Las Vegas and
Rincon Wednesday to view the disarm-
ament. They were disappointed at not
seeing the rebels actually surrender
their guns, but nevertheless they wit
messed an interesting sight.
AS a concession to the men General
Funston and Maor Ladd permitted
them to take their arms to Pinar Del
Rio, where most of the men Joined the
insurgent army. The rifles, however,
were first counted by officers of ma
rines under the direction of Major
Ladd and the men will be required
to surrender them before leaving the
train at Pinar Del Rio.
The marines sent to Pinar Del Rio
last night were prepared to enforce
the order and see that the disbanded
rebels dispersed quietly to their homes.
General Guerra had promised that
1000 men would be ready for entrain7
ment to-day, but the preparation of the
muster rolls required so much time as
to delay them. The remainder of Guer-
ra's men will be marched to Guanajay
and other near by points in Pinar Del
Rio province as rapidly as the muster
rolls are prepared.
According to the testimony of an
American named Harvey, formerly a
Roosevelt rough rider, who has been
with the insurgents, the amount of act
ual fighting during this revolution was
really very small. Harvey says that
most of the fighting he had seen was
between game cocks. About ten per
cent. of Guerra's men carried fighting
cocks tied to their saddles.
The revolutionists encamped at vari-
GUS points along the line were all will
ing to disarm and disband, believing
thoroughly in the honorable intention
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft. The speech delivered by Gov
ernor Taft before the University Of
Havana has been received with great
satisfaction by both the revolutionists
and the government party in Santa
Clara province.
Governor Taft has receivedga dis
patch that the threatened disturbances
in Cienfuegos have been obviated by
the withdrawal of the insurgents from
that city.

Starch, like everything else, is be-
ing constantly improved, the patent
Starches put on the market 25 years
ago are very different and inferior to
those of the present day. In the lat
est discovery-Defiance Starch-all in
furious chemicals are omitted, while
the addition of another ingredient, in
vented by us, gives to the Starch
strength and smoothness never ap-
preached by other brands.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-10-06

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

PLATTEVILLE RESERVOIR.
Large Lake to Be Formed Near
PIattevilIe
Near

ey.-Incorporation papers have
been filed by the Platteville Reservoir
Company to build a reservoir three
miles east of Platteville, with capac-
ity of 500,0O0O0O cubic feet, to cost
100000, and from which $4,000 acres
will draw a water supply.
The reservoir will deliver water to
the English, the Bucker and Farmers
IndependenI bitches, and a new ditch
will also be constructed by the COM
pany to carry water to lands lying
above the bitches now there.
The reservoir site covers 600 acres
in natural depression, about part
of which a dam thirty-five feet high
and one mile long will be built.
The money to build the reservoir
will be furnished by eastern capitalists
and the farmers whose land it will
benefit are not asked to subscribe to-
wards construction. However, they
will be allowed to purchase reservoir
rights. $4,000 of which have already
been purchased.
The officers of the company are all
Greeley men. James Houseman is
president, Z. G.. Kindred, secretary and
Frank Madden, treasurer. In three
weeks grading will begin on the reser-
voir and tho work pushed with all
speed.
The country neaf Platteville, which
the country will water, has always
been handicapped for sufficient late
water to use on crops, and as a conse-
quence yields there have not been of
the best. This section has an unusu-
ally fertile soil and with the antici-
pated water supply may compete with
others in growing potatoes, beets and
grain.
