The Worlds RAILWAYS.

Although the European countries
started building railroads earlier than
the United States. statistics show we
are now far ahead of them all, in fact
we have over 10 per cent more miles
of main track than the whole of Eu-
rope combined. This remarkable show
ing it probably only eQualled by one
other and that is. the wonderful rec
ord of cures made by the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t was
first introduced 53 years ago and today
is far ahead of any other stomach rem
edy. both in prestige and cures. II the
stomach is weak. tongue coated, appe-
tite poor. or bowels constipated we

much good as few doses of the Bit
ters. Try it and see 1t always cures

most popular plays presented to the
public in years. 1t combines all of the
qualities that interest and enthuse an

There are many splendid climaXes, but
nowhere does the play verge on the

who struggles through poverty to the
height of his ambition. both in love and

go to make an actor popular or famous

Three years ago, Colonel Price, who
was then living on his. farm at Letcher,

dent Roosevelt to Jeres de la Frontera,
Spain, and since then but little had
been heard of him: In the Mckinley
campaign Colonel - Price took the
stump in this state and did valiant
work. Previous to that he was one Of
the leaders Of the populist party:
Colonel Price was an orator of great
ability. He was short in stature, but
lowered high on the platform. He filled
many engagements on the platform, and
one of his most interesting lectures was
of a Shakesperian nature. He was a
close student of the bard, and quoted
his writings with great fuency.
In his political work he was fight
er and was prominent in many cam
paigns since 1885, when he located in
the territory of Dakota. He was grad
uated >, from an AndoYer, Mass, law
school, and first located at Davenport,
Iowa. After the war, in which he
served as colonel of the Thirteenth Iowa
volunteers, he was appointed consul to
Marseilles, France, by President Grant.

WITTY T CONDEMNS D ! :.:::
FAMOUS: AFFIDAVIT 4 T + ] VI: |
Declares that Poor Farm Docu'
ment Of Two Years. Ago
Was a Forgery.
Special to The Journal.

st, Peter, MIMI, Oct, 27.--!Ehe claim
isslnade that the famous aft aaYitt aass
seuted in October, 1904, ia show that
John iiA.l Johnson Isl Il father
died at the. :Nicollets county peoffafI1,
and intended for use as a campaign
document, was forgery.
This charge is advanced by the af-
faint, Tip Witty, who declares that the
instrument sent to St. Paul was never
signed by him.
In substantiating his claim Witty
produces the original document, which
he asserts is the only paper of the
sort he ever signed, and then points
out the fact that it differs in several
ton. He relates the circumstances of
the signing by saying that, in his ca
pacity Of deputy sheriff. he! went 2 to
Clerk Blomberg's office to secure some
papers he was to serve. While in the
office Blomberg produced a blank he
had drawn and asked him to sign it.
Without pausing to read the document
he affixed his signature, and it was
not until some days later that he
learned the nature Of the paper he had
Endorsed.
In recovering the affidavit, Witty
picked up letter that throws an in
tefesClng sldelghC on Che source OF
inspiration and controverts the denials
made by, the Dunn leaders in the, cam
:paign. It lis as follows: ......,

our way now and We shall win easily.

Address letter to L. S. Briggs, Room s4e
Merchants Hotel, or to republican headquarters

Witty positively asserts that the af
fdavit sent to the st. Paul address
and purporting to be signed by him
was, a forgery. While the grand jur,
was in session last week he sought t.
have BloInberg Indicted on that charge
and as four true bills were returne,
against the clerk, it is possible Witt,
may have been successful.

- = IT. = Office.

San Francisco, Oct. 27.-After day
of tremendous excitement, District At
torney Langdon, who Thursday night
was dismissed from office BY Acting
Mayor Gallagher, was apparently in q
victorious position last night and had
CITY officials and politicians whom he
had announced he intended to have in
dicted for felonies and misdemeanors.:
Almost at daybreak yesterday an at
torney representing Langdon appeared
at the residence ofSSuperior Judge Sea-
well and obtained an, order temporarily
restraining "BossRa Abe 'Ruef, whom
the acting, mayor" appointed to succeed es:
Gals or affairs of the district attor-
ney's office. $3.50
Judge Seawen set the case for hear
ing next Friday. Langdon and his as
sistant, Francis J. Heney, were not dis
turbed in their official capacity.
!; Exciting Court Tilt.
The excitement of the day came with
the court of Superior Judge Thomas
Graham, where the final member of the
new grand jury was chosen and where
it was expected the. court would settle
the question of recognition of either
Langdon or Ruef as district attorney.
When the=desired juror had been &C.
cepted;t Heney arose and made objec-
lions to the actions of deputy sheriff,
who had several times attempted to
search him. Ruef said the deputy was
acting under his instructions, it being
Ruef g belief that Heney was armed.
The court warned the deputy to cease
annoying Mr.. Heney.
! Ruef declared that he wished to pro-
coed with an examination into the quail
| iications of certain grand jurymen:
Heney interrupted, saying the first
thing that he intended to present to
the grand jury. was evidence support
ing the charges Of felony and misde-
meanor against Ruef.
,4~~s Crowd Cheers Langdon.t 1890
During, the. proceedings, ans and for an
hour earlier a crowd of 5000 had as
sembled. When Langdon and Henry
emerged they were heartily cheered.
A few minutes later Ruef appeared
and was hooted and Kissed. AS he was
making his way to his automobile, a
man who had been elected from the
courtroom attempted to strike the po
litical leader, but the police seized
him. Ruef was attended in court and
afterward by two detectives.
