a score of other changes included IN
Collector Loeb's statement yesterday
from New York, are announced by
Secretary MacVeagh.
There will be no further grants of
immunity in the customs investiga-
ton in New York. Secretary Mac
Veagh said that Collector Loeb has as
sured him that there would be no
further occasion for it; that they had
accomplished what was needed by the
immunity previously promised. The
three weighers who confessed and
whose evidence figured largely in the
investigation, will remain in the serv-
ice as far as the government is con-
cerned. But Mr.. MacVeagh believes it
is questionable whether they will care
to continue in the limelight long.
Vail until recently was foreman of
the weighers at New York. Mr.. Mac
Veagh said that there were no charges

CHILL WILLING TO
SUBMIT TO THE HAGUE

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 20.-Govern-
ment officials say that Chile is now,
as always, willing to submit the Alsop
case to Tie Hague, but that the
United States has asked her to omit
bringing before the arbiter what Chile
has considered the most important
argument in the defense of her rights.
The Alsop claim was decided by the
Washington claims commission i'll
1900 and the company then declared
to be Chilean concern. Notwith-
standing this, Chile, it is claimed,
was willing again to submit the claim
to arbitration, but the United States
insisted upon certain protocol
which Chile would not accept.

MUCH ANXIETY FOR
JOHN JACOB ASTOR

New York, Nov. 20.-The continu-
ance of uncertainty regarding the
whereabouts of the Aston yacht, Nour-
mahal, is deepening the anxiety felt
for Colonel John Jacob Aston, his son.
Vincent, and Richard Peters, cousin
of Mrs. Astor, all of whom were
aboard the yacht and now have been
out of touch with the world for a fort
night.
If the Nourmahal was blown out of
her course by the late West Indian
hurricane, she might have great diff
ficulty in making port again, as her
cruising radius is comparatively small
and would soon be exhausted. Hope
for her safety rests in the assumption
that she is now in port, but owing to
interruption to cable service, it is i'm
possible to get word of her arrival.

HORSESHOE LUCK,
An Old Myth That Goes Back to the
Greeks and Their Sea God.

OF all the emblems for good fortune
the horseshoe stands among the first.
Everybody knows it is unlucky to pass
a horseshoe ON the road without pick
ing it up. 1t is a luck emblem of the
greatest power. We are indebted for
this statement to old tales centuries in
age that have descended from father
to son, from mother to daughter,
through the years.
The old myths repay research. The
luck of the horseshoe has a most re-
spectacle beginning. 1t is traced to the
religion of the old Greeks and their sea
god, Poseidon, who was identical with
the Roman sea god Neptune. i.
To Poseidon horses were sacred, and
to him they were sacrificed. Poseidon
was believed to have created the first
horse when he struck the ground with
his trident and horse sprang from
the hole which afterward became a
spring. The sea god was the lord of
springs. To him all springs were
ascribed. In the shape of a horse he
sometimes wandered by the shores of
his ocean domain, and where he struck
his hoofs deeply there the waters gush-
ed out and permanent springs were
found. This is the reason why horse
shoes are reckoned lucky. Going to the
root of the matter, one sees a nature
myth as the root principle. From the
sea all rain comes, and to the sea all
springs owe primal origin, and to the
rain and the fresh waters. sea derived
we owe all fertility on earth.
The old Greeks therefore worshiped
Poseidon as the fortune giver through
his springs. They gave him horses, his
precious beasts, and they adored the
footprints of horses when they found
them, for they might be the very foot
prints of the god himself
When the horses came to be shod the
transition of the luck emblem from the
footprint itself to the shoe mark, prac-
tically the same thing. was easy.
Pegasus. the winged horse. from
whose hoofs the water springs gushed
copiously when he came to earth, has
been credited with the origin of the
horseshoe luck.
The horseshoe was a specific against
earthquakes 1t would keep a house
safe from harm by earth shaking.
Again one perceives the sea myth
Poseidon was the shaker of the earth.

Bad Stomach.
Many in Marietta Are Beirs
Thoroughly Purified by Mi
o-na, The Guarant e e d
Cure for INDIGESTION.

People of Marietta who suffer from
dyspepsia and other stomach troubles
are getting tired of taking preparations
containing pepsin, because pepsin
simply digests the food artifcially.
Pepsin relieves, it never cures.
And remember, pepsin only digests
animal food it has no effect on starchy
food, such as potatoes, rice, bread, etc.
Mona clesnses and purifies the
stomach and bowels, and tones up and
puts energy into the stomach walls, so
that they properly mix the food with
natural digestive juice of the stomach.
Mi-o-na tablets quickly arouse the
stomach from its inaction and in few
days it is able to do it's work easily and
without exertion. There will be no
more sour stomach, fermentation of
food, dizziness, sick headache, belch-
ing of gas, or foul breath.
Mi-o-na only costs 90 cents q large
box, and is guaranteed by R E Butler,
Sons d Co, to cure dyspepsia, sea or
car sickness, vomiting of pregnancy.
and stomach sickness resulting from
over.indulgence of the night before, or

Ravenna, Mich, June 16, 1908.
The Peruna Drug Co.
In regard to the Peruna Tablets, :
have used about ten boxes in all.
While was in Chicago my oldest
daughter was bothered with a cough
all the time. She has had it for four
years. Sometimes it would go away.
and in the winter time it was so bad
that the doctors and professors said
that she had consumption, and the only
way to give her any relief was to per-
form an operation.
l spend so much money for differen,
medicines, and for doctors also. Moth
ing seemed to help her.
So l saw the Peruna Tablets adver-
tised in the paper, and 1 got q box
and tried them. She could get some
sleep by taking them. She wunla be up
all night and cough. SO in all elm aoolz
six boxes, and never was botheFGa any
more.
l will leave this for any one TO in
Quire at our old residence, where we
lived in Chicago. All our neighbors
would say that she could not live with
such cough. You don't know how
thankful 1 am. She is eighteen years
old.
My oldest son also was bothered with
his stomach, throwing up, and his
bowels so loose all the time. He was
all run down for four months. I also
doctored with him. One would saw this
and the other something else. l started
in to give him the Tablets, and now he
is all right and healthy looking. He
took four boxes. That is all he wants
to take whenever anything ails him.
So praise your Tablets just as high
as I have your Peruna. That is all
the medicine that ever comes in my
house. Whenever 1 travel take some
with me. I have Had three of my chill
dren sick with scarlet fever two months
ago, and that is all 1 used, was the Pc

GOVERNOR JOHNSON.

Governor Johnson's life hung con-
tinually in the balance until the end
came. So frequently did his condi
ton change, alternately for the bet
ter and then for worse, that his ply
sicians, ever hopeful but none. toe
optimistic, were able to say at nc
time since the operation was per.
formed that the governor had more
than even a chance for his life.
John A. Johnson was the first Min
nesotan to be chosen governor of the
state, and of that distinction he was
prouder than of any other feature OF
his career. Governor Johnson was
born near st. Peter, forty-eight years
ago. His parents were natives OF
Sweden. His father, Gustav Johnson
his mother, Caroline Hanson Haden
were both Of peasant stock.
