CHANGE OF PLANS
IS ANNOUNCED
Withdrawal Of Troops From Cuba
to Be Gradual.

Washington, Dec. "a change has
taken place in the programme Of the
administration for the withdrawal Of
the American troops from Cuba. In
stead Of the movement terminating
Jan. %, when the new president is to
be inaugurated, as heretofore an
nounced by Secretary Wright, the
withdrawal will be more gradual and,
according to the present programme,
will run into April. The change in
the policy of the administration was
announced after the cabinet meeting.
According to this programme Amer
lean troops will be available for serv-
ice in the islands during the transit
ton from the provisional to the reg
ular government and for reasonable
time subsequent thereto, so that if
disorders arise they will be on hand
for duty.

FOR CONSTIPATION
A Medicine that Does Not Cost ANY,
thing Unless it Cures.

If you suffer from constipation
in any form whatever, acute or
chronic, we will guarantee to supply
you medicine that will surely effect
a cure if taken with regularity
and according to directions for a
reasonable length of time. Should
the medicine fail to benefit you to
your entire satisfaction, we promise
that it shall cost you nothing.
No other remedy can be COM
pared with Rexall Orderlies for the
easy, pleasant and successful treat
ment of constipation. The active
medicinal ingredient of this remedy
which is odorless, tasteless and
colorless, is an entirely new discov-
cry. Combined with other extremely
valuable ingredients, it forms a
preparation which is incompatible as
a perfect bowel regulator, intesti-
nal invigorator and strengthened.
Rexall orderlies are notable for
their agreeableness to the pala te
and gentleness of action. They
do not cause gripping or any dis
agreeable effect or inconvenience,
and may be taken at any time, day
or night.
We particularly recommend Rex
all Orderlies for children, delicate
or aged persons because they. do
not contain anything that could
possibly injure the most delicate
organism. They are just as easy
to take as candy, and unlike other
preparations for a like purpose they
do not create a habit, but instead
they overcome the cause of hab-
its acquired through the use of
ordinary laxatives, cathartics and
harsh physic, and permanently re-
move the cause of constipation or
irregular bowel action. ~
We want you to try Rexall
Orderlies at our risk. We know
that there is nothing that will do
you so much good, and we will
refund your money without argu-
ment if they do not do as we say
they will. They are prepared in
tablet form in two sizes of pack
ages; So tablets, 25c; and IL tab.

REGARDING CANAL PURCHASE
New York World Declares RooseveIt's
Statements Untrue.


New York, Dec 9.-The New York
World, to which Delavan Smith, ed
itor of the Indianapolis News, referred
in his reply to President Roosevelt's
attack upon him as the authority for
the article on the Panama canal
which appeared in his paper and
called forth the presidents letter,
says: .--. .....
'In view Of President Roosevelt's
deliberate misstatements of fact in
his scandalous personal attack upon
Mr.. Delavan Smith, editor of the In
dianapolis News, the World calls upon
the congress of the United States to
make Immediately full and impair
tial Investigation of the entire Pan
ANA canal scandal.
"The investigation of 1906 by the
senate committee of the interoceanic
canals was blocked by the refusal of
William Nelson Cromwell to answer
the most pertinent questions of Sen
ator Morgan of Alabama Since that
time nothing has been done because,
after Senator Morgan's death, there
was no successor to carry on his
great work Of revealing the truth
about Panama corruption"
The World then quotes from Pres
ident Roosevelt's letter denying the
charges and continues:

edge and belief each and all Of these
statements made BY Mr.. Roosevelt are

Philadelphia, Dec. 9.-Former Sec

Shaw, who is president Of the First

Shaw: 49,.
"My loans are fully covered by
bonds, which are as safe as the bond

100 per cent. Some of the papers
have spoken of the St. Mary's Acad-
envy of Benedictine Sisters and the
Sisters of the Visitation and other
Catholic societies and institutions as
creditors. Unfortunately the societies
are debtors. The banks, insurance
companies and private individuals are
the creditors.

increase the capital of the company to
something over $2,0Oo,o00 and some

Colleges Interested in Show.
Great influence was Forthcoming,
but scarcely needed, to bring the
various colleges and universities of

pnly too willing to join in. Aside
from the government experiment sta
lions, universities and schools from
the following states are competing in
the exhibition: New York, Ohio, In

South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, wy

evidence Is All in an Apology Will
Be in Order-New York World, Dis
cussing Presidents Recent Letter,
Says His Statements Are Untrue.
Cincinnati, Dec. 9.-The Cincinnati
Times-Star, of which Charles P. Taft
is editor and proprietor, publishes the
following reply to the article on the
Panama canal which appeared in the
Indianapolis News and New York
World:
''The New York World, the paper
which was responsible for most of
the talk about the Panama scandal
during the recent campaign, says:
ct" Whether Douglas Robinson, who
is Mr.. Roosevelt's brother-in-law, or
any of Mr.. Tafts brothers associated
himself with Mr.. Cromwell in Pan
ANA exploitation or shared in these
profits is incidental to the main issue
of letting in the light
"This statement is Intentionally
misleading. The Panama story was
used in the campaign for political
reasons solely. The one thing that
gave it's political value in the eyes of
those who used it was the fact that
the story, as printed, carried the
names of brother of the Republican
candidate for the presidency and of a
brother-in-law of the president. The
inference was plain enough. It was
that Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft had used their influence as
high officials of the United States gov
eminent to help near relatives in
Looting the Treasury
at Washington. That was the meat of
the story. If the names of Douglas
Robinson and Charles P. Taft had not
been included in it, flimsy and absurd
as it was, the lying yarn would never
have been used by the World, the In
dianapolis News and other papers
which for one reason or another want
ed to defeat Mr. Taft and discredit
Mr.. Roosevelt.
"The World is trying to dodge the
issue. It wants to be relieved of the
responsibility of trying to drag the
names of Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Taft
into it's made to order mess Of scan
dial and slime.
Both the World and: the Indianap-
oils News are crying let in the light.
We thoroughly agree with them. But
after little time has passed, after
the most desperate efforts of the cor
nered World and News have produced
all the evidence they can, an apology
will be in order from those newspa-
pers.,
I'm the meantime Mr.. Taft reserves
the right to take legal steps, which
possibly have been made more desir-
able by the events and insinuations of
the past forty-eight hours"

very small force at present. The
water supply is already commencing
to give out in our sister county,
which is mainly the cause of cutting
down the force. Only about 30 men
are employed. The mine has been
running in hard luck for some time.
But this is no new experience in the

BEST GAME OF BALL
PLAYED AT SUFFER- CREEK.
In Eleven Innings the Jackson
Baseball Nine Defeats the
Suffer Creek Team. Score
3 to o.

Probably the liveliest game of base
ball ever played in the county was
the one in Sutter Greek last Su nday
when the team from that town and
the jackson cracks came together.
Both pitchers were playing IN the
best kind of form, while the support
all the way through was better than
usual. Two or three times it looked
as though each side would score, but
nothing came of it until the begin
ing of the eleventh inning, Connors
made safety to first, and Vela made
two bagger, bringing Connors in.
Then Johnson, new man who was
holding down second base, made first,
but Vela got out on third, Johnson
succeeded in making home as did also
Brown, making the three runs that
the Jackson team made. In Suffers
half of the same inning it looked as
though they wonld score, in fact it
only needed safety to bring in a
run, but Sockey showed what he was
made Of and put three strikes right
over tanning out Suffers best batter.
The Sutter pitcher is the same that
threw for the Diamond Springs, while
Lawrence White of Amador, stopped
them. jackson was a little short of
men, second and third being filled
by untried players, but they acquitted
themselves very we'll. After such a
showing by the Jackson boys it is
doubtful that the Nolcanos will want
to play our team for $500 or any other
purse for that matter.

A Fleet Story.

The Ledger will commence pub
location next week of an account of
the cruise of the Lawrence from Nor
folk, Va, to San Francisco. The
Lawrence is the smallest of the
torpedo craft attached to the Atlantic
fleet that made the recent trip to this
coast. The account is the diary of
the cruise kept by one of the seamen,
j. w. Nee, and the boys are anxious
to have it published as a keepsake of
one of the most remarkable voyages
undertaken by big battleship fleet
of modern construction. The ac-
count, however, will 60 to show that
the trip was anything but pleasure
excursion for those manning the
wasps of the navy,-the torpedo
boats. The story will occupy at least
two issues. 1t has never been pub
lished, our readers will wonder, per-
haps, how the Ledger came to get the
manuscript. The boat is now at the
Vallejo navy yard, and every member
of the crew will receive copies of the
Ledger containing the story, with "a
complete list of the crew.
