WORRY FOR TAFT PARTY

Washington, December 2Ss--(Special.)- J. The Hughes and LaF'ollette booms are reported to be causing out in Nebraska, where they are gaining such strength that 1t Is worrying the Taft people and complicating the political plans of local politicians. Late indications are said to favor the belief that they may control the state delegation unless the national administration Is able to prevent.
 The states senators, Burkett and Brown. both republicans, are reported divided as to what Nebraska ought to do.
 MT. Burkett is reported friendly to Gov ernor Hughes, while Brown is claimed personally to prefer Senator LaFollette
 Last summer the Nebraska convention adopted q Taft resolution, but there has been some disposition since to break away from the declaration. Senator Bur kett Is said to have developed a healthy vice presidential boom and the nomina- tion of an Ohio man for the first place on the ticket would not encourage him.
 Secretary Strauss of the department of commerce and labor issues a statement on the proposition of immigrants who re- main In the United States. It shows that during July and August, in which months the count was started, the net increase in population was 12S,155 as determined by the deduction of the 90,515 alien depar- lures from the 21S.37G alien arrivals.

Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia together received about 13,O0O.
 The majority of the immigrants come from the Russian empire and Finland, Italy, Austria-Hungray and Great Brit ain.

EFFECT OF THE CRUISE.
John Barrett Talks on Benefits To Be
 Derived From Fleets Tour.

Madison, Wis, December 2-The bene- ficial effect of the Pacific cruise now be- ing made by Admiral Evans's fleet on the relations of the Latin-American represen- tatives to the United States was pointed out today by John Barrett in an address before the American Political Science as- sociation in session here today.
 MT. Barrett, now director general of the International Bureau of American Repub- lies, formerly United States Minister to Argentina, Colombia and Panama, spoke on 'The New South America and It's Relations to the United States Con- tlnuing after reviewing the development of South America, and speaking of the high importance of the United States in maintaining commercial control and moral influence in competition with Europe in the republics, MT. Barrett said:
 "One of the most important effects. if not the principal reason of the sailing of the battleship fleet to the Pacific has been almost overlooked in the constant discussion of the effect on Japan and the impression created in South America.
 we have failed to note that the great newspapers and leading men of our ss- ter republics are giving even more at tention to the movement of this armada, than those of our countrys Central Amer ican neighbors.
 ''The powerful and progressive repub- lies of South America. like Brazil. Argentina and Peru, which are fast be- coming world powers, not only watch ing for. the coming of the ships and ap- plauding this vast and unique naval un- dertaking, but are planning to give the fleet a reception that will not be surpassed in eordiality, enthusiasm and extent by any accorded them later on the Pacific coast or in the ports of the Orient.
 "At Rio Janeiro, in Brazil, and again al Callao, in Peru. Admiral Evans fleet will be greeted and treated as the real rep resentatives of the naval strength, as Secretary Root was the true envoy of the new diplomacy of the United States. which politically commercially. histori- cally and geographically is the natural ally and friend of all South America.
 ''In short. the voyage around South America, and not in any way intended or planned to impress South America, and therefore all the more appreciated by them, will establish beyond doubt or issue. one point, often discussed in South America which doubts the strength and capacity of the United States as com- pared to Europe, that If ever the neces- sity should come, which God forbid, the United States could enforce and main tain it's position, that the Monroe doc Urine is a strong, living issue never to be forgotten in the competition of nations for power and influence on the western hamisphere."

SPICY CORRESPONDENCE. Governor Spaks Explains and Roose- welt Gives an UItimatum.

Washington, December 2S-President Roosevelt today indicated by telegram to Governor Sparks of Nevada that the federal troops now at Goldfield will be ordered to remain there for further period of three weeks provided the gov- ernor within five days issues call for special session of the state legislature
 The telegram of the President was in response to one from the governor in which he sets forth the need of armed intervention and expresses the doubt that to call the legislature would result in ths necessary request from that body for federal aid. The correspondence which was made public at tn White House follows:

 .As chief magistrate of the state of Nevada. I have been of the opinion for the past year that a condition border ing on domestic violence and insurrec- ton has existed in the Goldfeld mining district. There has been an almost con- stant state of war between the miners union and the mine owners, ,owho employ the members of the uion.

 became divided into two hostile camps. On the one hand the miners, with their adherents and sympathzers, and on the other hand the mine owners with their adherents and sympathizers. The union alone claimed a membership of 3000 and fully one-half of the membership were constantly armed. Arms and ammuni- tion were purchased and kept by the union as a body. On the other hand, the mine owners had in their employ large number of watchmen and guards who were constantly armed and on duty. Tn addition to those opposing forces were an unusually large number of the crim- inal element attracted to the new and booming mining camp. Under such con- hitions. the civil authorities were practi- cally powerless. They could attend to the ordinary petty offenders from day to day but at the first conflict between the real armies of labor and capital, they would have been swept away.
 ''The repeated strikes and continued threat of other strikes irritated the mine owners more and more. It was clear to me. therefore. whdh the last strike was called in the midst of the financial crisis spreading over the country and with a long winter facing the 10000 people situ- 'ated upon the desert, hundreds of miles From any centers of population, it was lime to recognize the actual condition of affairs and to act accordingly. state of domestic violence and insurrection hrises. in my Judgment. when armed -~-~~~~~->---~-->- -----------~----

A. Anecdote OF Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language
hard to be understood" exercises on
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden, London, he accidentally JOS
tied against an Irish navy, who, being
in quarrelsome mood, seemed in
clined to attack the poet. A crowd of
ragged sympathizers began to gather,
when Shelley, calmly facing them, de-
liberately pronounced:
Il have put my hand into the ham,
per. l have looked on the sacred bar
ley. l have eaten out of the drum. /
have drunk and am we'll pleased. l
have said Knox Ompax,' and it is fin

The effect was magical. The aston

began to question him. What bar

have you been drinking?" and Shelley

What TO do
in CONSTIPATION

People who have tendency to consti-
patton, or actually have chronic consti-
patton, will give good deal to know
how to cure 1t. Yet the method is
simple one and not at all expensive.
However, it is almost as important to
know what not to do as what to do. Dc
not attempt to cure constipation by a
sudden movement of the bowels secured
through salts, purgative waters or ca
thartic pills or powders, because it can't
be done In that way. One swallow does
not make a summer, and one movement
Of the bowels does not cure constipation.
1t may clean out the bowels and give
naomentary relief, but the bowels will soon re-
lapse to their old state OF congestion and you
will have constipation of a more obstinate form
than before. owing to reaction.
By all odds the best way to cure constipation
is by the use of Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin In
the dose suited TO chronic constipation. and
way the cure is brought about scientifically. and
the result Is permanent. 1t Is a gentle but enec-
tive laxative. pleasant to the taste and so sure In
results that every bottle Is guaranteed. II you

Catarrh of
The Stomach
A Most Dangerous Disease, Which
Causes Serious Results, Unless
Properly Treated.

Catarrh of the Stomach is very
common and is known as one of the
most obstinate diseases, which, when
neglected or improperly treated with
cheap patent medicines, tonics, drugs,
pills, and other secret quack rene
dies results in a broken down consti-
tuition and often consumption and
death.
Catarrh Of the Stomach, like every
other disease of the stomach except
cancer, is the result of poor diges-
ton. The digestive organs have be-
come weak, there is a lack OF gastric
juice, your food is only half digested,
and as a result you become affected
with loss of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, heartburn. vomiting,
waterbrash, tenderness at pit Of stom-
ach, Shiny tongue, bad taste IN the
mouth, constipation, pain in limbs
and face, sleeplessness, nausea, belch-
ing of gas, diarrhoea, sick headaches,
dizziness, mental depre ssiOn, nervous
weakness, and many other common
symptoms.
If your stomach cannot digest the
food you eat, then the stomach needs
a rest, as that is the only way you can
get rid of your catarrh, but in the
meantime your body needs plenty Of
nourishment, because you must live
and in order to live you must eat, and
If you must eat, your food must be
properly digested and if your stom-
ach is too weak to do the work, then
you must get a substitute that will
do the work.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
only known substitute that will digest
your food as we'll as any healthy
stomach. They contain vege table and
fruit essences, aseptic pensin (gov.
test), golden seal and diastase, the
very elements necessary to digest all
foods.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
secret remedy and for that very rea-
son thousands of physicians all over
the United States recommend them to
their patients for catarrh of the stOm
ach, dyspepsia of all kinds, and other
stomach troubles. Experiments and
tests have proven that one grain of
the active principle contained in these
tablets will digest 5000 grains of food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are in
the form of pleasant tasting tablets or
lozenges and are sold in large fifty.
cent boxes at all drug stores.
