NEW FRIENDs-AND AN OLE ENEMY.
7 ANGDON gaZed at the two depart
ing senators with varied emo
lions. He sat down to think
IL over what they had said and to
carefully consider what manner of man
was Peabody, who showed such an in
terest in him. He realized that he
would have considerable intercourse
with Peabody in the processes Of legis-
lation and finally had to admit to him
self that he did not like the senator
from Pennsylvania. Just what it was
Langdon could not at this time make
certain, but he was mystifed by traces
If contradictions in the senator's char
~acter-slight traces, true, but races
nevertheless. Peabody's cordially and
sympathy were to Langdon's mind
partly genuine and partly false. Just
what was the cause Of or the necessity
for the alloy in the true metal he could
not fathom.
His talk with these famous lawmak-
ers was unsatisfactory also in that it
had conveyed to Langdon the sugges-
ton that the senate was not primarily
a great forum for the general and ac-
tive consideration of weighty meas
ures and Of national policies. 1t had
been his idea that the senate was pri-
marily such a forum, but the attitude
Of Peabody and Stevens had limited to
him that there were matters Of indiv-
ual interest that outweighed public or
national considerations. For instance,

of his state or his country"
That's right agreed the reporter,
further impressed by the frank sinceri-
ty of the Mississippian.
"The only condition in my mind, Mr..
Haines, is that the man should ask
himself searchingly whether or not
he's competent to give the service.

exclaimed.
Both, in their eagcrneSs, were bend
ing down over their ~improvised battle
plan, their heads close together
"And here a farmhouse beside your
cedars," cried Langdon.
"That's where the rebels charged

Langdon brought down his fist again
with emphatic gesture.
"You bet we charged you! The Third

Then a new idea struck him. "Why,

from one of your men-from your reg.

The old northerner pushed his fin
gers through his hair and shook bis
head alphabetically.
"Why. senator, I'm afraid 1t was,'
he hesitated.
Langdon's eyes were big with the
afterglow Of a fighter discussing the
mighty struggles of the past, those
most precious Of all the jewels in the
treasure store of a soldiers memory.
"Why, it might have been a bullet

Eat What
You want of the food yon eead
Kodol will digest is

You need a sufficient amount OF
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomachif
it Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suffice
tent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak 1T needs help;
you must help it by giving 1t rest,
and Kodol will do that.

Historic Building Goes.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Aug. 1L-(special.)-
Workmen are now engaged in tearing
down the building in this city In which
the first territorial legislature Of owa
met in the early winter Of lS41. The build
ing is being removed in order that a sa-
loon may be built on the ground it now
occupies.
To spare the feelings Of the sentimental,
however, 1t should be said that the build
ing does not now stand where 1t did when
Iowa's first solons gathered in 1t to do
their legislating. That ground is now
covered by a building used as a music
and jewelry store. The old legislative hall
formerly occupied a site on East Wash
ington street, but many years ago was re-
moved to Dubuque street, where it has
LONG stood. 1t was built in 1910 by Walter
Butler for the purposes OF housing the
legislators. 1t was two stories in height,
long and narrow like a lodge hall. In
those days it was one Of the very pre-
~tentious buildings in Iowa City and its
construction, as revealed by the workmen
who are now tearing it down. was of oak

Takes a Look at the Place Where
He Was FIeeced.
James Weber of Shamokin, Pa, visited
Council Bluffs during July, 1907. His visit
at. that time was a costly one, as the ]. G.
Maybray gang of big store" swindlers
succeeded in separating him from 5000.
Weber was MIXED" by means Of a fake
prize fight between a white man and a
negro. The fight took place on July S In
a then empty building at the southwest
corner Of Broadway and Sixteenth street.
After the fight, when one of the prin-
cipals was supposed to have been fatally
injured and the usual stampede took place,
Weber was hustled to Avenue A, one block
north from the scene of the fight, where
he was put aboard a car for Omaha with
strict injunction to get ava from tho
jurisdiction Of the Iowa authorities. Web,
Der did as he was told and got.
Mr.. Weber arrived in Council Bluffs fol-
another visit yesterday enroute to the
Yukon-Alaska exposition at Seattle. He de-
cided to stop over and visit the scene OF
his former experience so as to refresh his
memory as to location, etc, Of the prize
light which cost him so dearly. Mr.. Web
Der is one of the many Mikes" who have
brought suit in an effort to recover theil
money, and in company with his local at
torney visited the building at Sixteenth and
Broadway where the alleged prize fight wal
pulled off for his special edification and
Fleeing.
Mr.. Weber had no difficulty in locating
the building, but found It now occupied a.
a residence. At his request the occupants
permitted HIM 70 take a look at the In
terror. When here in 1907 Mr.. Weber
stopped at the Goodrich hotel on Broad
way and yesterday he decided to register a
the same hosiery. He expects TO leave TO
day for Seattle, but will return to Council
Bluffs when his case against Maybray and
the others is brought up for trial in thu
district court.
Mr.. Weber said he bore no hard feelings
against the friend who 'steered" him VI
against the Maybray crowd. as he is still
convinced that this friend was as much u
a dupe as he was.
