Special TO the Herald.

Special TO the Herald.
Aledo. ILL.,. March 24.-An election
for postmaster, probably the first of
its kind in the country. is in progress
here today. The novel contest arises
from the disinclination of Congress-
man James Mckinney to make a
choice between the candidates rec
commended by the opposing factions
of the Republican party. The Con
gresham. seeing a way out of the
difficulty, hit upon the election idea
and announced that he would recon-
mend the candidate who receives the
plurality vote All Republicans Of
Aledo and the rural routes tributary
TO the town are eligible to vote.
There are three candidates up and
the contest is spirited.

JOHN LEFEVER

The death of John LeFever Of North
park has caused the eye of many pio-
neers TO turn moist and their voices to
become hoarse. He was II of the
princess of those rugged, honest men
who moulded the west when it was
dangerous to stand for law and order,
when IL took nerve to represent justice
and right. He was deputy sheriff Of
Albany county, Wyo., for ave years,
serving under Sheriff N. X. Boswell,
and this county never had q man more
fearless in the defense Of the majesty
of the law. He was a man of keen,
discriminating judgment. He did not
rush in where angels fear to tread"
but when he did rush in his antagonists
had reaso to beware, for he asked
no quarter and gave none.
On at least two occasions Sheriff
Boswel's life was saved by this intrep-
i'd deputy. Once in the building
known as the Worth hotel, the sheriff
was set upon by seven or eight of the
toughest characters in the west and
things looked rather blue. Word was
hastily sent to the deputy and in
about the time that it takes to tell it
John LeFever and William d. Downey
were to the rescue. Short work was
made of hat tough crowd and instead
of being the aggressors they were soon
behind the bars. The fight was not
with guns, but they were ready for
use If necessary. John LeFever was
not a killer. He had a heart that was
easily touched to pity and he was as
tender and gentle as n m He
was ever a friend to the needy and
the oppressed. From Laramie almost
thirty years ago he went to North park,
where he has resided ever since, dur
ing the most of that period conducting
the sawmil business. In that land
of his adoption, in which all learned
to honor, respect and even love him,
his remains have been laid to rest.
Pioneers will cherish his memory as
a man of lron-one who did as much
as any other one man to bring order
out of CHAOS when strong men were
most needed.

NO MAN Is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. II a
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verted into nutrition through the stom-
aGh and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs OF digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital or
gan of the body. If the stomach is weak
the body will be weak also, because 1t Is
upon the stomach the body relies for its
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, is made up of its several men,
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as a consequence of weak" stom-
ach Will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. IL the
body is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver, kidneys, etc,
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousneSs, loss OF appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action OF
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.

Old Racehorse Still spry.

Sleepy Tom, thirty-eight years old,
and believed to be the oldest race
horse in America. is still full of the
fire of colt-hood and is capable of lin
bering up his creaking joints for a

property of Peter Beetles, of Puyallup,
and made his debut on the turf as
early as 1872. Tom is a PAGER, and
Mr.. Beetles declares the old fellow
can work out a mile at a three-minute

thought and conversation everywhere.
Today the matter is not ever spoken
of, because the expected deficit did
not occur, but in its place there was a
surplus.
ut is the same with the things that
are worrying a portion of our people to-
day-they will pass away like the fog
before the morning sun. The cry for
revision of the tariff is like the expect
ed deficit-there is nothing IN ii.
When any real necessity for revising
tariff Enthusiastically appears, the repub-
lican party will attend to 1t, and revise
1t in every way necessary. but these
sporadic efforts in localities, large in
themselves, but small IS to the whole
union, will amount to nothing. The
call of Massachusetts for free hides
and that of some other localities for
free lumber, or free iron, will all have
their effect in directing the attention
of people to subjects that they dwell
on, but the present trend of the govern
ment, the present contention and work
of the republican party, is to produce
and maintain a proper equilibrium.
Just as congress and the country have
done in the past year about our
finances, just so certainly there will
be no deficit in the ~endeavorors and
services of the republican party in any
revision of the tariff, If it becomes nee
esary. But this fact must always be
kept in mind, that the history Of the
country discloses hat whenever the re-
publican party stood squarely on a
protective tariff it hiss won. 1t is true
that after the Mckinley tariff we had
a setback, but that was because the
law was enacted so late that it could
not be given a fair test by the time
the next election time came around"

WARREN ON CANDIDATES.

A recent issue Of the Brooklyn
Eagle says:
Senator Francis e. Warren of Wyo-
ming today discussed the field of re-
publican presidential possibilities, He
believes Roosevelt is not in the race
and thinks that of the large number of
aspirants Fairbanks has the best show
at present, but that radicalism may
eliminate him. Root is Warren's ideal
candidate, but he admits that the New
Yorker will not figure in the nominal
ing convention.
President Roosevelt meant what he
said on election night, when he de
clared he would not again become a
candidate for president" said Senator
Warren to the Eagle correspondent to-
day. II give him credit for the utmost
sincerity. l think he has different
views and different objects in life than
to undertake to perpetuate his incum-
bency of that office. Furthermore, as
time passes l believe the people will
realize that, Notwithstanding the great
popularity of President Roosevelt, and
their great love and admiration for
him, they cannot afford to change their
unwritten law of two terms. OF
course, the president has really had
but one full term.
The party has plenty of good ma
terial for the presidency. Any one of
the candidates that have been prom
inently mentioned is fully equipped
n capable to take the reins of gov
eminent. Beside. there are many
more who have not as yet been talked
of. In fact, the country and the repub-
lican party are rich in able. expert
enced and thoroughly competent men
to fill the presidency and the other
high offices at the end OF the present
administration"
who is the leading candidate to
succeed Mr.. ROOSEVELT"
The time has not yet arrived when
the index finger Of public sentiment
htAAAS " any uAG man as Ilt SNtpNCN
candidate. Secretary Taft has been
much in the public eye, but his recent
declaration that he is not a candidate
with the probability of his accepting
a place on the supreme bench, has in
a way served to turn the attention OF
some of his admirers in other direc
tons"
How about Secretary Shawl"
Secretary Shaw has greatly in
creased his popularity because of tht
ability shown in the handling of tn,
Banana canal bond issue. Then there
is Vice President Fairbanks. There il
nothing on earth against him; he il
competent in every way. The question
will probably arise between now an,

whether the country will continue il
