Invfuorate the DioestJon.

To invigorate the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing so good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for week will usually be all
that is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken every
night will afford great relief
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and being purely vegetable are
adapted to every system.
Sold in every drug and medicine
store, either plain or sugar-coated.

THERE are host of petty ailments
i which are the direct result of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive
heat Of summer and the intense cold
of winter, but is partly true of all
seasons of the year.
Whether 1t be cold or a cough,
catarrh of the head or bowl complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the
kidneys, the cause is very liable to
be the same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.
Peruna has become a standby In
thousands of homes for minor all
nenfs of this sort.

STANDARD OIL TRIAL.
Victory for the Defense in Rate Case
at Chicago

at Cn1cagO.
CHICAGO, April 1O-A victory for the
defense was scored today in the trial of the
Standard Oil Company when Judge Lands,
in the United States district court, an
nounced that the Standard Oil Company
may produce evidence showing that the
company did not intend to violate the law
in the acceptance of unlawful rates. The
court also decided that the shipper does
not need to go further than railroad sta
ton to learn the legal rate. Arguments on
these subjects had been under discussion
for four days, attorneys for the defense
maintaining that the Standard OIL Company
did not knowingly and willfully' accept
unlawful rates from the Chicago and AL
ton railroad.
The decision by the court that the de-
Tense may offer evidence tending to show
that the Standard Oil Company was ig-
norant of the lawful rates on shipments of
oil from Chappell, ILL.,. to East st. Louis,
and that the company made honest at
tempts to ascertain what was the lawful
rate is of great Importance to the defense.
1t is practically the first strong point gained
by the Standard Oil Company's attorneys
during the six weeks of trial.
The question involved was brought out
soon after the defense began the examina-
ton of its witnesses. A rate clerk employed
by the Standard Oil Company was ques-
toned by Attorney Moritz Rosenthal as to
meats Of OIL Upon the witness answering
that he did not know that the 6-cent rate
was contrary to law, an objection was made
by Assistant District Attorney Wilkerson
was no excuse for the commission of an
offense.
Judge Lands sustained the objection. and
the reply was stricken from the record.

NOT AFTER THE PRESIDENCY.
Senator Culberson Says He is Not a
Candidate.

Special Dispatch to The Star
AUSTIN. Texas, April 1O-In an address
to the legislature last night Senator c. A.
Culberson referred to the boom that has
been started for him for the presidency.
Il am not candidate for nomination for
the presidency he said. That is such a
delicate honor and it would involve such
responsibility to myself and to the demo-
cratic party that would not seek it, There
is something in the suggestion that / am
southerner, as well as my ancestors to
the foremost generation, some of whom
served as confederates west of the Mis-
sissippi and some of whom shed their
blood in Virginia, when her rivers ran red.
But l would not have you understand
me tIat there is sectionalism in the land:
that no contingency can arise in which a
man of sound birth and lineage could not
aspire to be called to the great Office. That
democrats of other sections of the country,
although it is improbable, might do so, is
another contingency which l do not be-
lieve is so far removed. The democratic
party was born in the south and a south
ern democrat may yet be called upon to
preserve the principles of the party"

into line. with the same cry by directing
their attention to the west?
Eastern republicans are beginning to
wonder what 1t all means, but in New
York at least there is no hubbub, no furore
at this time over who is to be the nominee
The leaders there refuse to come out and
commit themselves to any man and are
apparently waiting until the time comes to
take action.
Despite the lack of emphasis in what the
President says, his friends who have not
talked with him declare their belief that
he has no idea of permitting his best friend
Taft to make a campaign in Ohio for his
own nomination for the presidency and at
the last minute of allowing the convention
to name himself for third term. Their ar
Sument is that the President is anticipating
the work of his enemies by allowing states
that are for him to name Roosevelt dele
