Jeremie, and shots were exchanged.
Gen. Lecomte, the minister of the
interior, who went out at the head of
a government force against the rebels,
has been taken prisoner.
The rumor is current here that he
has been executed.
Previous Revolt Fierce.
The present revolt of the people of
Haiti followed that of several months
ago, when many nations became anx.
ious over the safety of foreign resi-.
dents at Port-au-Prince and several of
the countries sent gunboats to the
scene to care for their countrymen,
who otherwise would have been left
unprotected at the hands of the gov.
eminent and rebel forces.
News Creates Furore.
The news that the minister Of In
terror had met his death at the hands
of the revolutionists created almost a
panic in this city, in which most of the
population supports President Alexis.
Great crowds gathered on the street
corners and vowed vengeance upon
the rebels for their act. No acts OF
violence other than occasional pistol
shots at suspected members of the OPP
position force married the serenity OF
the capital city.

KENDALL'S FAREWELL TALK
SPEAKER COMMENDED WORK OF
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
ate to go Into the Ma
tionaI Congress.

Des Moines, Nov. 25.--One of the
chief features of the special legisla,
tive session yesterday was the fare
well address of N. E. Kendall, speak
er of the house of representatives,
who retires from a service of many
terms in the Iowa legislature to enter
upon his service in the national house
of representatives next March.
Z Mr.. Kendall has been popular
among his fellow members. He is an
ideal presiding officer. His remarks
to the members upon yielding the
gavel for all time, yesterday, were
touching The farewell address of
Governor Garst to the senate was en-
bodied in his inaugural which was adj
dressed to the assembly.
Like Governor Garst, Speaker Ken
dali took occasion to commend the as
sembly upon the achievements in leg
islation which will distinguish it
among the legislatures of Iowa. In
substance his address was as follows:
Just before the hour of adjournment
arrived, Representative Weeks, of
Guthrie county arose and said: I'VE
have heard good deal from Speaker
Kendall as speaker of this body, but
nothing from him as congressman
elect. We would ike, to hear from
him in that capacity now"
Speaker Kendall responded as fol
lows:
Il cannot tell the members of this
house how deeply grateful | am for
their uniform kindness and considera-
ton TO me during all the weary days
and weeks which | discharged to the
best of my humble ability the difficult
duties of this station. | like to be-
lieve that in the severe criticism OF
history, the acts of the Thirty recond
general assembly will stand out in
splendid relief as a part of the wisest
legislation which has conserved the
best welfare of our state. have no
apology to make. for the measures
which received the approval of this
body. | have an immense sahsfaC'
ton in believing that the best meas
ures originated in this body.
want to express to the democratic
minority which has been with us in
the regular and extraordinary session
of this assembly, my sincere apprecia.
ton of their courtesy toward the
chair. | think We have come nearer
the past two days in eliminating the
differences of factional difference in
our party in Iowa than we have &C
cemplished in months past, and look
forward to the day when the citizens
of this great commonwealth will not
come as republicans, not as demo
Gratis. but as citizens of a great com
monwealth, whose best and highest
efforts shall be to serve the common
veal and enact legislation which shall
meet the approval in the days which
are to come.
I want to congratulate the demo
cratic minority for its helpful share
want to tell all of you how close to
my heart the members of this assem-
bly, have grown, and in that wider
field of industry my heart shall re
turn to this hall and the memories
which are the pleasantest that | can
ever entertain. thank you.

Not Trying to Dictate.


Later he issued a statement in
which he declared that he was not
attempting to dictate to the house
and that through the system of cleo
ton OF members the people were rea,
sonably certain of having their views
enacted into law. Citing an example
of hasty action leading to a misinter,
probation of public sentiment in re.
gard to tariff bill, he expressed an
opinion that there would be no mis-.
take made next summer in the revi.
sion of the tariff.
Speaker Cannon's statement in part
was as follows:
"Of course there will be an honest
revision of the tariff. We made the
campaign on that issue. and every Re.
publican member was elected with
that in view. Every one of those Re-
publicans, without an exception, will.
j believe, strive to the best of his in
telligence and ability to attain the tar.
in results desired by the people who
elected him. All will not have the
same views and each one cannot have
his own way altogether.
Thinks No Mistake is Likely.
The Republicans made no mistake
when they enacted the Dingley law.
as the long hfe--as the lives OF, tariff
laws go-of that law shows. I believe
they will make no mistakes in the bill
which they win enact next summer
with the concurrence of the senate
and the president.
There is one thing of which you
may be sure. Those representatives
will do their very best to perform
what the people want. for they must
go before the people in 1910 and &C
count for their acts. A senator &C.
counts for himself once in six years,
a president once in four years; but
the representative accounts once in
two years. The speaker of the house
has double accounting, to his con-
stituents in his own district, and to
his associates in the house who elect
him. No representatives, and espe.
cially no speaker, will fail to do every
thing within his power to carry out
the well-considered, constitutionally-
expressed will of the majority of the
people.
THIS is why believe that we shall
get the SORT of Tariff revision the peo-
pie voted for. Il do not pretend to
prophesy or dictate. 1t is and should
be beyond any mans power to die
tate to the house of representatives.
l merely speak from long experience
and the teachings of what believe to
be reason and common sense"

 .Tm not a crank on the sand cure, don't believe that it will cure everything, and if 1 had a bad spell would consult a doctor at once" said Clark to the Sunday Post. But I wouldn't stop eating sand for anything.
 ''1 was in awful bad shape before l began to take it. I got so bad l couldn' hold my head up, and when the trouble went to my hip and stomach l couldn't work, couldn't get cured and was ready to die.
 Then a Boston man came here and gave lectures on how to get well and keep we'll He also gave treatment at the rate of $5, S10 and $l5. With the last you got your bumps read decided $10 was steep enough for me. This man stated that sand would cure most everything. After he had looked me over $10 worth l bought a bag of sand from him for 20 cents.
 'I got F ounces for that sum. l con- tinued to take medicine for a while with the sand. l soon noticed that my stom- ach didn't trouble me so much, so cut out the medicine altogether. In little while I found I didn't have any more fainting spells and got so l could walk around.
 q kept on with the sand cure trying almost every kind and brand of sand. 1 found soon l was feeling as good as ever l was.
 Last winter l ran out of the sand. I had eaten my stock of it all up The ground was all frozen and l could not get any. Someone told me that apples were great for stomach trouble and

bought a lot of them and began to eat four or five a day.
 ""That week l was out in the yard digging a trench and I suddenly fainted just as I used to before I had begun to eat the sand regularly. That same week I fanted three times.
 "On one faint I was watching couple of dogs fighting. When l came to there was a gash in my head and I was in a hopsital. l had fallen in a faint on the street
 "The doctors at the hospital wanted me to promise not to eat any more sand but I couldn't see it that way.
 Upon leaving the hospital l came to the city yard to get some more sand, but the sand I got there was no good. It may be all right for what the city uses it for, but it isn't fit sand to eat
 'I finally got some that suited me in my yard. I don't eat just as it Is. l sift it three or four times to free it from the pebbles and from the dust. The best sand l know of comes from Pawtuxet
 T know of a horse that doctors couldn cure and it was turned out to pasture. The first thing the animal did was to paw a hole in the ground and eat about a peck of sand. The horse got well very quickly.
 Sand is great for fever I know a man who was attacked with the fever. A doctor put him on couch with red not stove at his feet, and bag of cracked ice on his head gave him six ounces of sand to eat, and in six hours the man was cured and never has had the fever to this day.

 Since he began taking sand each day he says he has gained several pounds in weight, his various physical ailments have departed like mist before the morn ing sun and he declares that he feels p years younger
 Prominent physicians told MT. Clarke that the first dose of sand would require a stomSch pump; the second would de- stroy the lining of any mans stomach, and at the end of the week the sand eater would be the occupant of the most con- spicuous vehicle in funeral procession MT. Clarke is now called a human ostrich in Providence.
 He began to eat sand regularly four or five yeras ago. For long period before that time he was suffering from stom- ach trouble which physicians seemed un- able to cure. For five years he says physicians prescribed for him and he spent hundreds of dollars for remedies.
 His lower limbs were covered with run ming sores, the scars of which still re- main, preventing him from walking, and he had a throat trouble which prevented him at times from breathing. He went from one doctor to another without get ting any relief

 Henry Clarke, an employe of the Prov idence water department, has just upset the grave warnings of physicians and startled health faddists everywhere by having banished all his bodily ills and re- newed his youth at 70 years of age through a diet of common dry sand, which he digs from the ground in his back yard
