VISION OF GETTYSBURG.

der Grandfather.

Some years ago an old man with
silvery hair was led into the CYCLIC
rama of Gettysburg by a bright-faced
little girl. Aged and feeble, he sat
down, while the child described to
him the features of the picture. Oc-
casionally he asked her a question as
in doubt of the accuracy of her &C.
count. She had described the charge
of the confederate columns and the
struggle at the stone wall, when he
asked: But where's the artillery,
May? DO you mean the big guns?
They're over there on the hill in
row. All in a row." he asked. Yes,
she said: there are some more down
here, but they are all upset. | think
they are bursted.' Is that where the
men are coming over the hill" Yes,
grandpa is there grove OF trees!
Yes. it seems to be full of men, but
the smoke is so thick you can not see
them ooh, / see Them he cried.
1T was then noticed by some of the
party near him that he was blind. The
little girl answered: %, no, grandpa,
you can't see them Yes, can, sald

the grove, and the broken cannon ~

in innocent surprise, and said: You
are joking, grandpa No, my dear,
answered the old man. No, that was
the last thing l ever saw. There was
caisson exploded there just this
side of the stone wall, and that was
the last terrible picture ever saw, Tor

We regret exceedingly to learn Of
the muss which has been stirred up in
our state university. but with a press
continually antagonizing-the result
is not unexpected. 1t Is possible that
everything may not be right In the
university, but we have the word OF a

the management that the charges were
without foundation. Let this be as
1t may, we believe that the board did
its duty In d~lscharging President Tis-

could be done under the circumstances.

AS Reed was passing up Main street
between Fifth and Sixth South streets,
on his way to his rooming-house, about
11:45 O'Clock, he was halted by two
armed, but unmasked, men who sprang
upon him from the darkness Of some
trees.
Showing their weapons into Reeds
face, they held him staring at the cold
steel while they searched his clothes
and took the money. They then re-
leased him and disappeared around a
corner building. Reed went to the po-
lice station and reported the robbery.

THE STRENGTH OF A

Until Mr.. Taft is nominated there
will arise often the question of mis-
availability as a candidate. President
Roosevelt dominates and democracy
loves a hero of the aggressive type.
The politician. who clings to a winner
and has little use for a loser, would
no doubt prefer. the nomination of Mr..
Roosevelt because such a step would
make certain the success of the ticket
in several doubtful safes. Demo
cratic leaders would welcome Roose-
welt as a relief from Bryan. With
Roosevelt a candidate there would be
no good ground for the other candi.
date entering the presidential race.
The democratic party itself would have
enough to see the necessity for
a change of front under such comb
lions.
But it will be found that. when Mr..
Taft has been given the republican
nomination opposition within his party
will cease. He will be recognized as
the hitting candidate for the party and
the needs OF that party. Instinctively
the ranks will close. Mr.. Taft will
grow in strength with the whole ma.
ton from that day.

This is the dryest season in the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant. Those
who have lived here for forty years
say that they never experienced any
tning like it. There has been only one
other season when there was not
enough moisture to terminate grass
seed, some time in the seventies.
There is considerable snow in the
mountains, rather more than is, gen
orally believed. This will keep a fair
supply of water in the streams throug,

These are the results of Indigestion:
The undigested food grows hard. and trrftates
the stomach lining. 1t causes infamrnation-per-
haps liberation. That is the source of the pain.
And that is why occasional indigestion often
leads to chronic dyspepsia.
Undigested food ermentsa and forms gas. That
distends the stomach, causing symptoms often
called heart trouble.
Undigested food decays and breeds germs. The
germs create poisons, and the food ducts OF the
bowels suck those poisons into the blood. That
leads to blood impurity, and all its results. OFTEN
to kidney trouble.
Then food that fails to digest is wasted, and
the body is robbed of its n~ourishment. In these
ways scores of serious troubles are due solely to
Indigestion.
The remedy is to relieve tie stomach. To let
Kodol, for a little time, do its work for it
Tones and stimulants only spur the stomach to
action. ut is like whipping altired horse.
The food must be, digested, for you must have
food. And you must stop the irritation. Kodol
digests all food, Immediately and completely. The
result is relief and rest. You will be astonished
to see how quickly the stomach RECEIVERS then.
Kodol is not like anything else. Most digesters
depend almost solely on pepsin. and pepsin digests
only salbumen.
starch requires something else; fat something
d else. perfect digestera must digest every food.
