law says he can not do to companies
paying any officer more than $4,000
year each"
He stated that after the supreme
court decided the case, the Equitable
would act according to the decision of
the court, but further than this he de-
clined to discuss the situation. Mr..
Morton was ill because of his hurried
trip across the country, having made
speech in st. Louis and ridden in
crowded car to Kansas City. He was at
luncheon with a few Kansas City
friends yesterday noon, but was forced
to retire to his room because Of illness

adopted in Missouri, an insurance COM
if it pays any officer more than $4,000.
Mr.. Morton was on his way to the
Pacific coast on business and stopped
in Kansas City long enough to talk
with friends and visit George A. Bond,
general agent of the Equitable here.
He said he considered lands in this
section of the country safe investments.
Mr.. Morton will be in the west about
two months, visiting all of the impor-
tant offices of the company.

ALL MISERY FROM INDIGESTION
VAN|sHEs FIVE MINUTES AFTER.

sleeplessness, belching of gas, bilious
ness, sick headache, nervousness, dfzzi-
ness and many other similar symp-
toms.
If your appetite is tickle, and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or If
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like a lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause.
Call your stomach trouble by any
name you will, but prove to yourself
that the real and only cause is Food
Fermentation-Sour Stomach.
A case Of Pape's Diapepsin costs
only 80 cents and tells plainly on the
label the name of each ingredient, to
show that these Triangules are as
harmless and pleasant as candy
though each Triangule will promptly
digest 5000 grains of food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there Is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Your relief is waiting for you 1t is
merely a matter Of how soon you take
the first Triangule.

governor and Long for senator, but
the chairman arbitrarily declared the
resolution out of order, after which
the convention adjourned.
Concordia Blade: With Stubs out
over the state preaching a mixture of
democracy, socialism, populism and
nthilism and telling how absolutely
dishonest the Republican party in
Kansas has been, it will be a wonder
if the state does not go Democratic
this year. Some one should put a
muzzle on Stubs.
Kinsley Graphic: The old Re-
publican machine has whipped the
square dealers at every turn of the
road. The fight has been on United
States senator from the first. The
machine won in the primary bill by
carrying the proposition that a plu-
rality of legislative and senatorial
districts should determine who should
be elected senator. Their next VIC
tory was in forcing Stubs to stay in
the race for the governorship. Their
third victory will be III bringing Hoch,
Bristow and others into the senatorial
race. dividing the opposition to Long
into enough small sections to secure
the later'S election easily, and to Sc
cure the perpetuity of the old ma
chine. The life Of machine politics
is federal patronage and 1t makes but
little difference to its managers as to
who is governor
Seneca Tribune: The interest at
Topeka this week VIII center largely
upon the senatorial fight. Should
Governor Hoch enter the arena the
strength of Senator Long will not sui
fer. It will mean a division Of the
opposition to the senator and divide
the forces with which he must con-
tend.

he can be defeated, and one or the other
of them will be effective. Either the
Republicans will defeat him in the pri-
mary election by nominating Mr. Bris-
tow, or they will defeat the Republican

and have a Democratic senator. We do
not believe Kansas Republicans will in

STATUE OF WASHINGTON.
Virginia Orders Replica of That a,
Nations Capital.

Richmond, Va, March 10-The
Virginia legislature has just appropri-
ated $4,000 for the purpose of MAX
ing a replica of the Houdon statue
Of Washington, now in the rotunda of
the state capitol, in this city, to be
presented, along with a statue of Gen
eral Robert E. Lee, to the National
Statuary hall in the capitof of the
United States at Washington, D. c..
Both statues are to occupy space in
the niche reserved for Virginia. The
work is to be either replica or a
modified copy, but the state does not
obligate itself to take the risk of hav-
ing cast made of the Houdon
statue. If such step shall be found
to jeopardize the beauty or safety of
the precious bit of marble, a modified
copy of the work will be made. Elk
perts will be requested to make a
careful examination of the figure and
make a report on what is best to be
done,

The Houdon statue Is said to be the
finest piece Of art work in the United
states. 1t is supposed to represent
the exact 1ineamentS and features of
the greatest of all virginians and
Americans. It is said by experts to be
better likeness of General Washing
ton than any photograph The statue
is one of the principal attractions Of
Richmond Visitors from all over the
world stand at it's base with uncover
ed head, doing reverence not alone to
the man, but to the artist who con-
ceived the work. The statue stands
alone, surrounded by an iron balus-
trade. Every care is taken to pre-
serve it intact from the ravageS of
time. 1t could not possibly be replac-
ed should any accident happen to it.
Only once has it been taken from
it's place in all the years that it has
stood there. Two years ago certain
artists, working under bond, were en-
powered to take the statue down and
clean it. This was the first time that
the father of his country had had his
face washed in a hundred years. The
statue was then cleaned and removal
ed and replaced intact. 1t will now
stand for another hundred years. Be
cause of the location Of the statue and
the surrounding lights, it is almost
impossible to obtain a photograph Of
it. They invariably show up dark
and distorted. The accompanying
picture is one of the very best that
has ever been made of the statue
The figure of Lee, which is to ac-
company the copy Of the Washington
statue, will be made by the artist VAL
entine. He has already been assigned
to the work, and, in fact, has the
monument partly completed. The Lee
statue will probably be ready for de-
livery before the copy of the Wash
ington statue is made. Both of the
great men will stand together in
Washington as the representative
men from the mother of states and
of presidents.
