To Jmpeach Recorder,

Misunderstanding that City Re-
corder John B. Hodapp had wilfully,
unlawfully and fraudulently placed
the name of A. L. Baby on the city
payroll and refuses to remove it al
though the presence of the objec-
tionable name. prevents the other Ia
borers from getting their pay, mas
much as Mayor Andrews refuses to
sign the order, the city council has
preferred formal charges against the
recorder and has set his hearing for
the evening of May %. If he is found
guilty the charter requires the coun.
Gil to remove him from Office.

st. Paul, May 14-Governor John A.
Johnson was today made the candidate
of his state for the presidential nomi-
nation by the Democratic party. Mid
scenes of the widest confusion and
enthusiasm the boom of the Mime
sotan was launched in a manner that
indicates that the Tall Pine" will
have one state solidly behind him to
the finish at the Denver convention.
1t was significant event, and its
significance was realized by the rep
resentative body of Minnesota Demo
Gratis that filed the convention hall.
Although instruction was in the air
and Bryan Democrats were standing
about, ready to bolt if the order came,
it was a Johnson convention through
and through. His followers controlled
the organization, dictated the names
on the committees, wrote the resolu-
ton and placed the stamp OF Johnson
upon every move of the convention.
The enthusiasm was conclusive.
The first cheers for Minnesota
executive came when Frank A. Day
after working the delegates up to a
high pitch by severely attacking the
Bryan men in this state for what he
called the villest attack that had ever
been made in Minnesota politics, men
toned the name of Governor Johnson.
At the auditorium there was pic
turesque sight. The different counties
were assigned to their places designat-
ed by signs. Some of the delegates
unable to find places on the main
floor, were assigned to seats on the
stage. The American colors were
draped about the proscenium of the
stage, and pictures of Governor John
son and other Democratic leaders
were in evidence. Band music added
a light touch to the situation, and
made the wait for the convention de-
lightful affair. The galleries were
crowded, made up mostly of Bryan
men of the different contesting dele
cations.
At the close of his address, Andrew
Nelson, of Duluth, was chosen secre-
tary of the convention, being escorted
to the platform by Senator ]. G.
Hardy. of Ramsey county. and A. G.

the following letter to Thomas F. Bayard, chairman of the state committed was read to the convention and came as a surprise to the delegates, but they did not hesitate an instant to place his name in the field.
 "It would indeed be a proud distinc- tion," says Judge Gray Ito be the stand ard bearer of the democratic party at this time and for such a cause. There are many reasons, however, why such dls- tinction is outside the range of my am bition, and these reasons compel me to say that am unwilling that the dele gates from this state to the Denver con- ventlon be instructed for me, as l can not under any circumstances consent thereto You will, therefore, convey my wishes in this respect to the convention which is to assemble at Dover April A, and express to it my most positive and emphatic request that delegates 10 De elected shall not be instructed to present my name to the Denver convention In saving this l am not unmlndful, as have dread, assured you, of the long continued kindness and partiality or my friends in the democratic party of this etate b,t I owe it to myself and to them to speak with perfect frankness, as have done.'
 There was no voice raised against the resolution to instruct the delegation or six to support, advocate and vote TOT Judge Gray's nomination.
 Harmony prevailed in the caucus ana in the convention There was some dls- cord in the Kent county delegation, where tbe Bryan adherents had majority, b,,t the threatened trouble quickly dis appeared when the caucus selected one

Heartburn Comes
 From the Stomach
This MaIady Is Wrongly Named-lt Is
 Indigestion.

The heart is an organ that people are not inclined to trife with, but a person may have fiuttering of the heart, heart burn and similar troubles and yet have a perfect sound heart. Nine times out of 10 the disorder comes from the stomach through dyspepsia, constipation or some other digestive ailment.
 So instead of taking heart cures or other such things that contain stimulants and narcotics, take harmless but effec- tive remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin which will correct the digestive disorder and in that way cure the sup
 posed heart trouble. The remedy is guaranteed to do this. and you can ob-
 tain it of any druggist in 50-cent and s1
 bottles As there are about 150 doses
 to the latter the cure will cost you but
 a few cents.
 The experience of Mrs Knight of Bell
 view, Tenn. in this regard should be of interest to all who suffer from heartburn. etc. She writes that for five years she suffered from indigestion and constipation. from fainting spells, futtering at the heart and heartburn She couldn't eat
 meat or anything seasoned with meat. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin was reconi-
 mended to her and after few doses the
 indigestion and constipation were relieved and the fanting spells and heart trouble soon disappeared She takes a dose of the remedy after eating and now never | feels any ill effects, no matter what she | eats. Those who suffer in this way 1 should do as she did and be cured. ! Charles Kearney. Lake Charles, La, | says: "I was afflicted with indigestion and | heartburn for nearly five years, during
 most of the time taking medicine without | obtaining relief until l tried Dr. Cald i wells Syrup Pepsin. only used two l bottles and am entirely well, can eat a | hearty meal and feel no bad results ] Pepsin Syrup Co.,, 312 Caldwell Bldg.

The Douma Takes Action Relative To
 Building New Line.

St. Petersburg, April 15.-After stormy debate, well nigh eliminating in an open fight, between the members of the ministerial party and the oppo- sition. the douma at 12:40 a. m. passed the first reading of the bill auth orizing the construction of the Amur railroad by vote of PIP to 101, and proceeded to the second reading.
 The douma rejected the starting point from Nertschinska. as suggested by the government, and substituted Kuona, shortening the length about 30 miles, The douma voted the recom- mendation that only Russian workmen be employed on the construction of the road. The douma will adjourn for the Easter recesses on Friday.

Even people who have absolttoiy
nothing 10 do except TO amuse them
selves appear to like waking up ana
having, breakfast much earlier than
we do. This morning. as usual, we
had finished breakfast by half past Q.
and by quarter past 10 Sally had
come back to fetch Niyace and NE for
our walk.
l hadn't vet been shown Central
park. Mrs. Ess Kay said it was hor-
rid out of season. But Sally didn't
agree with her. And l thought 1t
lovely. more like the Bots de Bou-
lugnc than our park. and yet with an
extraordinary individuality of its own.
There were only Il few people of our
sort, riding or driving, but lots of
children We're playing about. and IL
was wonderful that the trees and
grass and flowers could have kept so
fresh through such tremendous heat.
I'm sure if we had weather Ike that
in England the whole vegetable king
dom would go on strike.
Whether it was the beauty of the
park or whether it was something in
herself l don't know, but Sally Wood
burn was in Il sentimental mood. She
is generally full of fun, in her soft
quiet little way, but this morning she
was ali poetry and romance. She
quoted Tennyson and several modern
American poets whose names | was
ashamed to say l didn't even know, as
their verses seemed charming and
when she had found certain narrow

not sorry to stay, because we did SO
many amusing things.
Mr.. DoremuS was detained, toby
his tailor, he said-so we saw good
deal of him, as Mrs. Van der Windt
did go to roof garden entertainment
after all, and 1t was most fascinating.
but quite without the feeling that you
might fall off, which / had expected
to have. l saw the moon coming up
and gliding thousands of roofs, and
couldn't help wondering which was
the roof of that club where poor. hand
some Jim Brett was employed, though
of course it was impossible to speak
of him to any one except Vivace.
We lunched one day at an enormous
and very fashionable red brick hotel
called the Waldorf Astoria and went
into Turkish room and had delicious
things to eat in beautiful restaurant
which had not at all an out of season
air, though Mrs. Ess Kay said that
most of the well groomed looking peo-
pie whom l suspected of being leaders
of the Four Hundred were only "trip
pers." l do wonder, by the way, why
one always has an innate sense of con-
tempt for trippers and longs to be
sniffy and show ones own superiority ?
We must all be trippers Somewhere
and sometimes. or we would never see
anything of the world-indeed, / sup
pose 1 am by way of being a tripper
now. But one never seems to regard
oneself in such light or imagine that
anybody else could be SO undiscerning.
/ hadn't known that a hotel could be as
big as the Waldorf-Astoria, though Mrs.
Ess Kay says there are several just
about as large In New York. and she
has heard there are one or two in Chi
cago, but she thanks heaven she doesn't
know anything personally about that
/ When she made this remark remen,-
bered what Sally had told me in conf
dence about Mrs. Ess Kay's life before

One OF the greatest charitable in
situations In the world has just been
perfected in Austria, says the Wash
ngton Post, For centuries the state
mas recognized the fact that a man,
through no fault OF his own, may be
unemployed, and that, at the same
lime, there may be many willing and
eager to give him employment The
state has recognized IL as its duty TO
bring the two together For this
purpose every small town in Austria
has at least one employment bureau
he larger towns have several, which
are connected with one another by
telephone. In nearly every town
there Is also government workshop,
and in the villages a government
farm, also under the labor depart
mcnt. Any man or woman who is
out OF employment may go to the
nearest bureau and learn in the
course OF a few minutes what chances
he or she has Of finding job on that
day Those in need OF employees reg
Ister at the nearest bureau, and their
desires are telephoned throughout
the district. II no place offers, the
work seekers may spend the day in
the waiting room OF the bureau or be
sent to the government workshop or
farm, as the case may be, where he
tolls for his board and lodging until
he is informed that place Is wait
ing for him.
