Enormous Gains.

That the DR.. Button Stock Tonic is
the best conditioner and tonic for stock
on the market is abundantly proven by
the two following cases of rapid and
enormous gains in flesh.
w. E. Howard and his son James
conditioned three-year-old colt for so
days on the DR.. Button Stock Tonic
and sold it to H. H. Ruddy for 5000,
and Mr.. Ruddy pronounced it the best
conditioned horse he ever bought.
o. G. Watros fed the Button Stock
Tonic to horse which was carefully
weighed at the beginning and close of
the test, and made gain of 200 pounds
in rs days. During all this time the
horse was fed 25 ears of corn three
times a day, an amount which it would
have been impossible for the horse to
digest without the aid of the tonic and
digestant properties possessed by the
DR.. Button Stock Tonic.

HOW JUDGE TAFT CON-
VICTED FRANK PHELAN

Lincoln tNeb) Wageworker.l
~Stung by the flashing of his Of
fetal record as n prosecutor of or
ganized labor, William Howard
Taft has undertaken to prove the
righteousness of his now famous in
functions in labor disputes. His
first departure from glittering gen
eralities in referring To labor was
taken at Chicago last Wednesday
when he undertook to justify his
actions by citing the case of Frank
Phelan.
Frank Phelan was an organizer of
the American Railway Union who
was sent to Cincinnati to organize
the railroad employees of that city
and to enlist their support of their
striking brethren in other parts of
the country. Phelan was cited to
appear before Judge Taft on the
charge of contempt in that he had
violated an order not to interfere
with the operation of the Cincinnati
Railway, then in the hands OF re-
cciver appointed by the United
States Court.
Phelan was not allowed II jury
trial. 1t was not charged that he
had committed crime, save that
contempt of court is crime as de
fined by the judges of the Taft brand.
In the decision handed down by
Judge Taft, Phelan was abused
worse than the average prosecuting
attorney abuses II criminal on trial
before jury. On the evidence adj
duced at the hearing, Phelan was
sentenced to Jail for six months.
What was the evidence? In his
Chicago speech last Wednesday Mr..
Taft said:
"On an affidavit charging him
with contempt in attempting by
such methods to defeat the order Of
the court directing the receiver to
RON the road, he was breaking into
court. The evidence clearly estab-
lished his guilt. / therefore sen
fenced him to Jail for six months"
And now for the evidence that
"clearly establish ed" Phelan's
guilt:
Phelan and several other members
of the American Railway Union tes-
titled that Phelan had done none of
the things charged against him. The
witnesses for the prosecution were
reporter for the Cincinnati En-
quirer and a man named Dormer.
The reporters evidence was mostly
hearsay and repetition of some
conversations he had with Phelan.
Dormer was the chief reliance OF

vINDIcATIoN OF BRYAN
From the Fort Worth Record.

Mr.. Bryan is quite justified in the
declaration that he has outlinved
the venomOus attacks of his OPP
ponents. Twelve years ago." he
said to an Iowa audience, "you
heard me called demagogue. You
saw them bury me and you heard
them chant songs over my grave,
and now they have explained how it
happened that / was not dead"
"Demagogue" was among the
least of the epithets applied to Mr.
Bryan twelve years ago. "Revo,
lutionist," socialist" and "agita.
tor" were common, and we all recall
IA cartoon in Harper's Weekly libel,
ing him as an anarchist. OF course,
much of that was ordinary campaign
hyperbole, but there were thOus.
ands-indeed, millions--of men who
reckoned Mr.. Bryan as political
dreamer and somewhat of fanatic
and the most tolerant and kindly of
his critics regarded him as danger
Gus in views and methods. The sill
yer question was the great issue
then, and his doctrine was esteemed
as financial revolution portending
commercial ruin.
Four years later, when he was
again nominated, even many who
agreed with his Views opposed his
selection and the policy of n second
free silver announcement. The
prevailing opinion of many demo-
Gratis at that time was that If he
suffered defeat the second time he
would go down to history as mere
adventurer. His opponents in that
contest denounced him as rebel
and traitor because he resisted the
retention of the Philippines.
In 1904, when he opposed Judge
Parker, some of his former ardent
supporters felt that he was playing
dog In the manger" with his party,
and 1t seemed at st. Louis that he
was permanently retired as demo-
cratic leader.
Notwithstanding all this, his third
nomination was the mandate of the
deliberate thought of an overwhelm-
ing majority of theparty. And now,
less than thirty days from the elect
ion, 1t is conceded by friends and
foes alike that he is nearer to the
White House than he ever was be-
fore.
This Is remarkable circum-
stance.
We need not go so far as to con
tend that events have vindicated
every doctrine Mr.. Bryan has advo-
Gated. 1t is disputed question
whether the free coinage of silver
was wise proposal in 1896; wheth-
er the prosperity which followed
that campaign was result of the
increased supply of gold, or whether

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF MISSOURI
Final Words OF Encouragement and
Warning by Executive Committee
of the Democratic State Com
mittee.

One Of the most important cam.
paigns ever fought in Missouri is
drawing to a close. At the outset
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor abandoned his party platform
and party principles, and has made
his whole campaign an effort To got
the vote of some discontinued Dem
ocrats. He has now abandoned his
National ticket and even his associ-
ates on the State ticket, and from
the headquarters in st. Louis, con-
trolled by chairman personally
selected by him, and secretary
who is his official assistant, word
has gone out to the Committeeman In
every precinct in the State that each
must In some way get ten Demo-
cratic votes for Hadley. There are
more than twenty-five hundred pre-
cincts in Missouri, SO that this mes
sage comedies the fact that to-day
the Republican ticket is defeated by
fifty thousand majority and that
twenty-five thousand votes must be
changed to elect Hadley.
The Democrats have only to stand
by their flag on next Tuesday to
gain the greatest victory ever won
in this State. All indications point
to landslide for our National
ticket. There is no State west OF
the Mississippi River to-day that can
be safely counted in the Republican
column. New York, Indiana and
West Virginia are surely Demo
cratic, and even partisan papers
concede the election Of Democratic
| Governor in Illinois, Minnesota and
Ohio, and yet the Republicans must
claim these States fortheir National
ticket, or else admit the defeat that
surely faces them. Without regard
to former party affiliations, the la
boring men of the United States
will cast almost solid vote for Mr..
Bryan, and this alone insures his
election,
Let every Democrat in Missouri
see to 1t that he does his part, that
he may have his share in the re-
joicing that will follow the glorious
victory that we shall win next
| Tuesday. Go to the polls and give
to our State ticket the majority il
so justly deserves, and put Missouri
in the front rank in that column of
great States that this year are rally
ing to the Democratic standard.

Hon David A. Ball, who was

taken sick and was unable to FIJI

night ut Milan:

not have been committed except
with the help of the Republican

the prosecution. Who was Dormeri
Dormer was detective in the EN-
ploy of the Field Detective Agency
of st. Louis, and In the employ of
the receiver of the Cincinnati
Southern Railway. Dormer was
given position as brakeman by the
receiver. He joined the American
Railway Union and made daily re-
ports to the receiver. 1t was upon
the testimony of this hired spy
known by Judge Taft to be such
that Frank Phelan was sentenced
to Jail for six months.
How do we know that Dormcr
was II detective in the employ Of
the Fold Detective Agency?
Because Judge Taft specifically
says he was, and the statement is
made by Judge Taft in the very de-
cision In which he adjudged Phelan
guilty.
And Judge Taft admits that he
knew Dormer was u detective, that
he knew Dormcr was masquerading
under the name of Williams, and
that Dormer joined the strikers un-
der orders from the receiver, who
thus became party to Phelan's al
legged crime, and was therefore equal
ly guilty with him.
And this Judge Taft who sentenced
man to Jail for the crime Of CON
tempt on the testimony of n man
when he knew to be n hired spy, is
the same William Howard Taft who
is now posing as the friend Of or
ganized labor and the chief hope Of
salvation for the toilers of this
country.
The union man who is deceived by
such prctensions is deceived because
he would rather be wrong than to
make any mental cXertion in an en-
deavor to Ice set right.
