scene WAS enacted in the Bailey inveS-

York to see bailey. MI. Coke asked
if Col. COWart'S visit, though USuensibiy
u have his throat treated, vas not
really made for the purpose of attend
ing to some business for the Kirby
Lumber Co.
Senator Bailey, who had entered the
room a few minutes before, arose and
said that any one who said that Cowart
went to New York to see him was Il
liar.
The witness understood that Senator
BAILEY meant him and he arose in his
seat and declared emphatically that he
would allow 70 man to cal him Il liar
He asserted that he was not a willing
witness. but, 50 help me God, | will
allo" no man to call me a liar" he
shouted.
Senator Bailey started for the wit
ness, who seemed ready to meet him
Deputy Sheriff White stopped Senator
Bailey and trouble was averted.
The senator then apologized to the
committee, declaring that he had been
irritatcd so much during the past few
weeks that he could hardly help his
action. He said that it was hard t.
keep from lrnouncing what he knew to
De lies
Representative Coke retorted that
Galley had legal advisers who were
able to take Care'of his interests.

of croge-uucstioning by Senator Warner.
Mr. Warmers questions related largely

piled: M. sir.
..yyorId the other mon have had trouble
If they had behaved themselves as you
did?" asked Senator Overma1.
II do not know was the reply
Harris said he was not treated badly
because he did not put himself in Pc

HOT STRUGGLE COMING
Between the British House Of Lords
and House Of Commons.

London. Feb. 5.-PrCmer Banner
man, in his customary summons to his
supporters to attend the re-opening of
Parliament employs the very unusual
phrase ito discuss matters of grave
Importance" As foreign affairs are
now tranquil these words are regarded
as applying to the coming conflict be-
tween the House of Lords and the
House of Commons. and Judging from
the recent utterances of prominent
members of the government it is sup
posed that ministers will ask the
House of Conmons to pass a resoiu-
ton to limit the Lords powers of vote.
Should this be done a struggle would
be prccipated at once.
In tho meantime the Lords them
selves seemed to realize the necessity
of putting their own house in order.
Lord Newton has drafted n bill for
presentation during the coming session
proposing the reconstruction of the
House of Lords on a partly elective
basis. II is doubtful il such bill
would be accepted, but the declaration
is made that Lord Newton is receiv-
ing considerable support from both
sides of the House.
Winston Spencer Churchill, parlia-
mentary secretary for colonial affairs,
speaking at Leeds tonight, referred to
the Kingston disaster. He said he ven-
tured to nope that before long Kingston
would arise from it's ruins improved,
enlarged and beautified. and that the
imports the island of Jamaica would
receive from the opening of the Pana-
ma canal would make Weather state
than anything that had ever been
known in the West Indian islands.

How to Fool a Lazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise

TIA VERY serious Sickness has small
Ia beginning.
And, in nine cases out Of ten,
LIZ that beginning is made in the
Bowels.
Constipation Is the beginning Of most dis
eases. paves the way for all others.
Lack of exercise. hasty eating, improper
food. are Its first causes.
Laziness. and postponement. permit II.
to grow into Chronic Constipation. which
means lifelong Discomfort.
It isn't necessary TO be sick-a-bed, you
know. in order to be mighty uncomfortable.
Even a slight indigestion affects the
nerves. dulls the mind. and obscurss the
merry sunshine Of Life.
The time to adjust the Bowels is the very
minute you suspect they need adjustment.
If your tongue is slightly coated.
If your breath Is under suspicion.
-lfyour head feels tritle heavy or duh.
If digestion seems even little slow.
If Heartburn. Belching. Collie or Rest
lessness begin to show themselves.
That's the time to eat cascarst.
II acts as pleasantly as It tastes. -
congenial to your Bowels as it is to your
Palate.
II stimulates the muscular lining Of the
Bowels and lntestines. so that they mechani-
cally extract nourishment from the food and
drive out the waste.
The only way to have Cascarets readyto
use precisely when you need them Is to
carry them constantly in your pocket. Is
you do Watch or Lead pencil.
The ten cent box Of 0ascarets Is made
thin. flat. round-edged. and small. for this
precise purpose.
Be very careful to get the genuine. made
only by the Sterling Remedy Company and
never sold In bulk. Every tablet stamped
"ccc." All druggists. ~

PANIC screams from ID. Rock
efeller and his ilk need bring no
anxiety to the hearts of the poor.
If there is panic it will be on
the stock market among gamblers
who deserve no pity. They are
in the gambling game for what
suckers they can fleece and if they
lose their past winnings they can
go to work like other people.
Tom Lawson said once that be
fore he got through with Stand
ard Oil Rockefeller would be
bankrupt. Possibly he knew
what he was talking about.
Whether true or false 1t makes
no difference to those who earn
the bread they eat. 1t may serve

will be the gamblers who will

MORE OF BUCKTAIL'S BILE.

r. L. s., Prowers. Colo.-l have
seen it stated in a newspaper OF
recent date that Governor Buch-
tel wired Mayor Speer to have
the lights turned out in the word
"Welcome" IN the arch at the
main entrance from the Union
station to the city OIL Haywood S
return. Is such, fact or rumorH
Answer: 1t is fact.-Denver
News.
We had read before of this act
but hardly believed it. Now being
announced without reservation by
a paper amply responsible. we are
compelled to believe it. The act
was worthy of such a hyPocritical
coward as Buchtel. 1t is dimin-
ishing glass through which one
sees the loathsome cur stripped
OF his sacred cloth. He had lied
about this man Haywood, had
libeled him in a dozen states, and
his contemplate little soul was
vexed at being caught and
branded by an incorruptible court
and a republican granger jury as
the libelous scoundrel he is. Like
all dwarfed mentallties he con-
sidered how he could farther in
suit the man he had injured, and
like most of these he adopted a
plan that calls down upon him
the utter detestation of all people
without reference to their feelings
toward Haywood. For know you,
most illustrious jackass of your
day and generation, that the
American people. IN just that de-
gree that they respect the decision
of upright courts, despise those
who attempt to coerce and belittle
their acts. Thousands OF men
and women who knew you not
before this act now esteem you
what you are. Think not that
your pitiful little insult raised
more than transient gleam OF
resentment in Haywood or his
friends. There was an electric
current on 18th street that night
that required not the aid of the
utility corporations of Denver, to
generate light. 1t came from
1000 human dynamos and the
current was rendered luminous in
14,OO0 eyes rendered brilliant by
tears OF joy. Like all other acts
of malice, yours failed utterly oi
its purpose and will rise up and
curse you to the end of your
days.
