nerves are delicate wires that en-
able you to feel pain. If you poison
your nerves with drugs you can't
feel the pain until the stupor wears
on. Then the pain comes back and
you have to repeat the dose until
nature removes the cause.
IT you have a pain in your back
you can stop it for a few hours by
stupefying the nerves with poison
Gus drugs But to cure that pain
you have got to remove the cause.
That pain is sometimes caused by
kinney trouble So can't you see
that to remove the cause you must
restore the kidneys to a healthy
condition?
The reason the kidneys. liver,
stomach or other organs become
weak or debi1irated is because they
lack electricity. This must be re-
stored. either artificially or by Ma
ture. before they can do their work
properly.
Weakness in men is caused by an
exhaustion of electricity. Get back
tnat force and you will have your
strength
My Electro yigor pours a stream
or electric life into your nerves
while you sleep. and these conduct

OF your body, giving health and

No Interference by
Roosevelt

ALBANY. y. Y. May 19--Much in
terest was shown here in a statement OF
Senator Agnew of New York that one
Of his constituents had talked recently
with President Roosevelt and repre-
sented the latter as expressing himself
in favor Of the passage OF the much
discussed bills for the abolition of
legal protection OF public gambling at
racetracks in this city. None OF the
republican leaders would talk about
the matter. but the general feeling was
that any authenticated expression OF
the president in favor Of the bills would
insure for the anti gambling bills prac-
tically a party vote.
WASHINGTON. May 19.-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt has authorized no one
to speak for him regarding the anti
gambling legislation pending at Al
bany was the only comment obtainable
at the White House regarding the ro-
port from Albany that the president has
privately expressed himself on that
subject. President Roosevelt's policy.
1t was stated. has universally been TO
interfere in no way whatever in state
legislation, and IL was added that he
has made no exception In that policy

CURRENCY BILLS
TO Be HELD OVER
Hope of Financial Legislation al
This Session of Congress
Is Abandoned

WASHINGTON. May ls.-That there
will be no currency legislation at this
session Of congress is now believed by
many members 70 be almost certain
~. The conferees on the senate and
house bills have held several sessions
IN an effort 10 work out something un-
der the head OF the "Aldrich- h-Vreeland
bill" but they are said to have almost
abandoned hope. AS a result there is
a decided sentiment among the con-
ferees and leaders Of both branches of
congress that the whole subject should
go over until the next session In that
event the work would be taken up next
session by the same conferees, as the
bills introduced at the present session
do not die until the end of congress.
The senate committee on finance has
been swamped with protests from bank
ers and commercial interests against
the Vreelsnd bill. The opposition has
been based chiefly on tae charge that
IL proposes an asset currency through
clearing houses being permitted to is

MRS. GUINNESS DEAD.
DECIDES CORONER
False Teeth Found in Ruins of
House of Horror Are
Identified

LA PORTE, Ind, May 19-That Mrs.
Della Guinness died in the flames which
destroyed her home, April 2S, was con-
clusively shown today when a searcher
in the ruins discovered the upper and
lower bridges containing the woman S
false teeth. The lower set of teeth
taliies exactly with the description and
diagram furnished by DR.. /. P. Norton,
the dentist who built the bridge and
who today identified the teeth posi-
lively as those of Mrs. Guinness.
In view of the unmistakable evidence,
including the finding one week ago of
rings belonging to the murderess. Cor
oner Mack stated this evening that he
would render an official finding that the
burned adult female body was that of
Mrs. Guinness.
Tonight few skeptical persons re-
main, whose argument is that Mrs.
Guinness. after killing the children
and setting fire to the house. threw
her teeth into the fire.
Sheriff Smutzer is investigating the
report that William Riedinger, a
farmer at Delaield, Wis. was one of
Mrs. Guinness victims. In letter re-
ceived today David Hicken, a friend
living at Waukesha, Wis, tells of the
disappearance of Riedinger, who, after
a visit from Mrs. Guinness, sold some
crops, Wnlcn netted MIN $l,UOU, and lett
for some place in northern Indiana
Ito marry wealthy widow" he said.
A month later his hired man, John
Heintzelman, received letter instruct
ing him to sell the stock and farm
implements and put the money in the
bank. Although the letter was un-
signed and not in the handwriting of
Riedinger, the hired man followed the
instructions and deposited $500 in the
bank, where 1t is today, for Riedinger
never returned. nor was he heard from
after that.
What is considered positive proof
that Henry Gurholdt of Scandinavia.
Wis, came to La Porte with 1.500 and
was put out of the way by Mrs. Gun
ness was supplied today when Sheriff
Shutter. received a letter containing a
description of Gurholdts watch, which
tallies with the one found in the
ruins.
Coroner Mack tonight prepared his
reports on the five remaining skele-
tons of unidentified dead. The seven
unidentified dead were buried today in
the potters' field.

Clifford Put Horn
Away in Second
Grass Valley Lightweight OUT
fights His Man From Tap
of the Gong
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

MARYSVILLE, May l9.-Jack Cliff
ford of Grass Valley tonight knocked
out Jack, Horn of San Francisco in the
second round of what was carded to be
20 round bout. Though he weighed
but l36 pounds and his opponent tipped
the beam at 146 Clifford was the better
man at every angle OF the game. While
1t lasted the mill was fast and furious
and the crowd was in an uproar. Cliff
ford was the favorite in the betting,
though Horn had a large following
that bet heavily on his chances.
Both men waded in at the tap of the
gong and began to mix it with rights
and lefts Clifford showed his knowl-
edge of the game by blocking cleverly
and countering to Horns body. In the
second Clifford started right after his
man down stairs. A series of rights
and lefts sent Horn to the mat twice.
He arose and went down for the third
time and stayed on the floor while he
was being counted out.
In the preliminary the Congo Coon
disposed of Philadelphia Joe Smith, a
new welter weight, in two rounds.
Congo knew too much about the game
and landed on Smith at will. Smith
was game. but the gaff was too strong
and he faded away under the body
punches which the chocolate kid sent
in. Eddie Smith of Oakland refereed
both fights.
After the fight J. Russell, manager
of Young Peter Jackson, tried to at
tach the gate receipts, claiming the
money which Referee Eddie Smith
donated TO charity on the night that
Jackson and Dick Sullivan pulled off
their fiasco several weeks ago Rus
sell was sunable to gain any satisfac-
tion, as the courts have not yet ruled
on Smiths act. which, however, was
highly commended by the local popu-
lace.

these two events We're very popular
