Rest
the Stomach

Nothing will relieve INDIGESTION that
doesn't digest the food, ITSELF and give
the stomach perfect rest.
You can't reasonably expect that
any weak stomach will regain its
strength and get well when it is
compelled to do the full york that
sound stomach should do.
You wouldn't expect a sick horse
to get well when it is compelled to do
full days work every day Of the week.
Your stomach must have rest.
But it isn't necessary to st1rUe your
self in order to rest your stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a perfect
dieestant. 1t will digest all of the food
you eat regardless of the condition Of
your stomach.

Seattle police are puzzled to know

NO TRACE OF $17s,oo LOOT.
House of Negress Searched for Stolen
Subtreasurv Money!,

CHICAGO, April 1O.-Secret service men
yesterday went to the home of Mrs. Wilene
Hudson, negro scrubwoman employed in
the subtreasury, locked all the doors and
made a thorough search of the premises for
the $173,O0 stolen two months ago. The
quest, however, was fruitless, and it was
admitted last night that there seems no
immediate chance of solving the mystery.
For several weeks secret service men
have watched Mrs. Hudson night after
night as the woman has gone to her work
In the Federal building. Her home was
watched constantly and all her visitors
were made subjects of government espion-
age
I'D like TO arrest an inquisitive man who
followed me out to that house. said Capt.
Porter in disgust on returning to his head
quarters. Il don't see any immediate hope
of doing anything with this case"
The ''inqusitive man Is said % nave
spoiled Capt. Porter's plans.
When Capt. Porter returned from the
Hudson home he passed ten minutes In con-
ference with Subtreasurer Boldenweick.
Then he went to his office. Arriving there,
he took from his pocket a small screw
driver. He refused to admit having used
the tool in his three hours ransacking the
Hudson premises. The building at 2o4 Og-
den avenue is three stories high and is oc-
cupied by three colored families
A negro preacher named Brown lived at
the home of Mrs. Hudson for several
months About three weeks ago he is re-
ported to have left.
Subtreasurer Boldenweick did not deny
that Mrs Hudson had been under surveil
lance for several weeks.
"She was not supposed to come any
where near where that money was until
after the vaults were closed and locked"
Mr.. Boldenweick said. Another woman
will take her place. That is all I can say"
Mrs. Hudson had been employed in the
Federal building since March 9, 1906 Dis
covery of the $4,000 theft was made Feb
ruary 20 last. The stolen package consist
ed of number of bills of large denomna-
lions.
Two clues came to light in the "red-light'
district the first involving visiting gov
eminent employee who was reported to have
displayed a $1,000 bill while drinking, and

NAVAL NURSE SENTENCED.
Charged With Contributing to Ad-
miral Tilley's Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Aphl 1O-Alfred
Brissan a hospital apprentice in the
United States navy, was sentenced yester-
day TO serve thirty days on the charge of
contributing to the death of Admiral TIL
ley, commandant at the League Island
navy yard, by neglect of duty Tiley died
on March "a last, few weeks after his
elevation to the post.
Two days after reaching League Island
Tilley contracted a severe cold, which de-
veloped into double pneumonia. At first
his wife and daughter were in constant
attendance but as the case grew worse
the physicians ordered two men from the
hospital service. One had the day shift
working until o'clock in the evening, and
the other, Brison, then took charge for the
next twelve hours.
On the night of the admiraTs death
Brison failed to report at 8 o'clock. The
other nurse, believing his relief would be
only few minutes late, went off duty as
usual. At o'clock the admiral became
suddenly worse The physicians had an
ticipated this and had left orders that they
be summoned at once in such an event
The family becoming alarmed, although
hardly realizing the gravity of the case,
hunted all over the house for Brison with
out result Nearly an hour was thus occu-
pied. Then it was seen that Tilley was
fast sinking and a physician was tele-
phoned for. The latter demanded to know
why his orders had not been carried out
and the family replied they were ignorant
of any such Instructions.

ROBERT c. OGDEN WITHDRAWa
Sends Letter to Southern Education
Conference.

PINEHURST, N. c., April 1O.-Better edu-
cational facilities more school houses and
continued war against illiteracy was the
slogan of the speakers at the conference
for education in the south, which convened
here yesterday in tenth annual session.
The speakers at last night 8 session, at which
George Foster Peabody of New York pre-
sided, included Gov. Glenn of North Caro-
line, DR.. s. Mitchell of Richmond, Presi-
dent Judson of Chicago University, DR..
F. w. Hinitt Of Lexington. KY, president
of the Central University Of Kentucky, and
Prof. Wickliffe Rose, agent for the Pea
body fund.
Gov Glenn discussed the attitude Of the
south toward the so-called education move
ment, and in referring to the loyalty of
the south to the Union remarked that the
southern people today consider President
Roosevelt the greatest ruler the world has
ever known.
The conference was formally opened by
the election of DR.. S. c. Mitchell of Rich
mond, Va, to act as temporary president
in the absence of President Robert c. Og-
den who was prevented from attending

HUGHES AND THE POLITICIANS.
Better Understanding Between Gov
ernor and Legislature at Albany.

ernor and Legislature at Albany.
ALBANY, N. Y. April 1O.-On every side
there are indications of better under
standing between Gov. Hughes and the
legislature. The good feeling that was
started a week ago, when Senator Raines
called on the governor has been growing
day by day. This does not mean that Gov.
Hughes has become a politician or that
the old guard has turned reformer, but
they appear to have reached a common
ground on which they will work to carry
out Gov. Hughes legislative policies. The
governor is convincing the legislators that
he has no desire to remain aloof from them,
and they are calling on him to talk over
realize that Gov. Hughes has a keener
touch on the public pulse than they have,
and that the best way to save the party
Is to effect the reforms that the governor
has planned for all the people. But these
conferences the governor is holding with
the legislators and their friends must not
be understood to be the old brand, which
involved deals. The governor is not pass
ing out any jobs in return for offers OF
support for his measures.
The visits to the executive chamber are
not confined to members of the legislature.
Some of the old Higgins men, here to at
tend the memorial services of the late gov
ernor called on Mr.. Hughes. including
Francis Hendricks, the former superintend-
ent of insurance: John F. OBrien, the for
mer secretary of state, and Frederick D.
kilburn. former superintendent of banks.
The governor was cordial to all his visitors,
and Mr.. OBrien plainly told the governor
he was with him. This appears to put be-
yond question the claim that Senator
Knapp, from Mr.. O'Brien's district might
oppose the governor.

republican state committee. also Is feeling
