INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 1S.-At least 80

KNOX HAS ACCEPTED.
Dispatch Says Senator viii
Become Secretary OF
State Under Taft.
NEW YORK SUN STORY.

New York, Dec. 1S.-A dispatch to
the New York Sun from Washington
says:
"PhiIander c. Knox, United States
senator from PENNSYLVANIA. has been
asked by William H. Taft to become
secretary of state in Mr.. Taft's cabi-
net. and he has consented to serve.
"Mr. Knoxs acceptance was given
somewhat reluctantly, as he believed
that his abilities could be utilized bet
ter in the national Legislature tnan in
the executive government.
1T is realized by those who are ac-
quainted with the circumstances of
the matter that Mr.. Knox, in agreeing
to take the foreign affairs portfolio
is making a great sacrifice of person
al inclinations.
According to what is said here he
feels, however, that if Mr.. Taft be
leved him to be the right man for
this high and important office it is
his duty 10 comply with Mr.. Taft
desires. Mr.. knoxs term in the sen
ate will expire in March, 1911"

When your stomach goes on a

1t is that you should sit up and take
notice.
1t is clearly and only question OF
common sense-is this thing called
Dyspepsia. Take away, by abuse, ov-

the things which the stomach needs
and you have dyspepsia and indiges-
ton; then other maladies follow
these--this is common sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let il do its work. You take
away the materials which are so nee
essary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys-
pepsta and indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins SLOW

What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids sfor it's digestive glands,
nourishment and power. All these
necessities it takes from the blood. If

New National Park.

Wisconsin has taken option of the
Glenn reservation at the mouth of
the Wisconsin river with the inten-
sion of preserving it as a natural
park. Should the legislature make a
suitable appropriation as the state
park board confidently expects them
to do, region of twenty-seven hun
dred acres of land with a water
frontage Of seven miles on the Miss
issippi and Wisconsin rivers will be
preserved as a natural park.
1t is the only tract of any magni-
tude on the Father of Waters which
still retains the form it had when
civilizations vanguard penetrated
the upper river. The hills overlook
the scene of discovery of the Miss
issippi by Marquette and Joliet, in
1878. They are covered with fine
old native timber and have more
undepleted effigy and burial mounds

letter from Andrew Carnegie Offering
to give one-half the cost of a pipe
organ, whenever the church raised
the other half. AS the "other half
is already paid into the church treas
ury, Mr.. Carnegie will be called upon
for the cash as soon as the organ can
be purchased and installed. A COM
mittee was appointed for that pur-
pose. The installation of pipe organ
will complete the Methodist church
in fine shape. The church under the
pastorate of Rev. Geo. H. Kennedy,
which was dedicated last June, has
had since then remarkable growth.

When children are born in Ashanti
they are at once rubbed all over with a

streets, and the baby Is brought out
and exposed to view. A basin Of wa

Simmer Loses Case.

The supreme court has confirmed
the decision of the lower court with
reference to the case of A. Simmer
against Chickasaw county, holding
that Mr.. Simmer cannot recover the
taxes paid by him to that county for
the years Of 1900 to 1904, inclusive.
1t will be recalled that Bremen
county, holding that Mr.. Simmer
should have paid his taxes here for
those years, started an action against
him and that the board of super
visors effected a compromise with
him by accepting the sum of $10,5OO.
Thereafter Mr.. Simmer sought to re-
cover from Chickasaw county the
amount he had paid there, but the
court Of last resort holds that he can
not do SO, it seeming to be their con-
tention that the payment of the
lakes in Chickasaw county, where Mr..
monies and credits were
leld in charge of his late nephew, was
improper. The text of the decision
has not yet reached here, and upon
It's reading will probably depend
or not Mr.. Simmer can now
seek recovery from Bremen county.

Usage Mother Deserts Babe.

Deserving her own baby and leav-
ing 1t with her stepmother to die
was the unnatural act of Mrs. Fred
Saxon of Usage, formerly Miss Nellie
Henneger of Nashua. A few days
ago Mrs. Saxon came down from
Usage and brought her 2-months-old
baby boy, which she left with her
step-mother, giving as her reason
that her husband did not like child
rem. The baby was sick at the time
and continued to pine away until he
died. The mother was telephoned to
and came down to attend the funeral
but she was not accompanied by the
child's father. Great indignation is
felt at both Usage and Nashua over
the cruel affair. 1t is seldom that
both father and mother desert their
babe, and especially at time when
the little one Is suffering and In pain
and needs so much the tended care of
a mother, and there are few mothers
but what will give up everything else
on earth, before they would desert
their child.
