A WAR CREEK
VENDETTA
AN HUMOROUS DESCRIPTION OF
THE LATEST BREATHrTT FAN
ILy FEUD.

The louisville courier-Journal
thus describes the attest outbreak
in Bloody Breathis,:"
From fuller reports OF the Inn
broglio upon War Greek, where Mr.
Darel Cund n opened flre upon his
two brothers. Bruce and Hen" it

While Mr.. Daniel CundiR was en-
gagged IN shooting Mr.. Bruce Cum

clinching the argument az TO what
relations should exist between a
cundin and a dog. Mr.. Hen" Cum

over his shoulder. When Mr.. Dan

impression upon the abdomen OF

him OF the unwisdom OF obstinacy-

The ruse, according to the Jackson
correspondent. worked perfectly,
and the casualties resulted upon the
disagreement OF the brothers Cum

the abdominal region OF one man.
The innocent bystander who made

presumed the accuracy OF Mr.. Dan

without waiting to learn whether
Mr.. Hen" Cundiff was "possuming''

He might, upon the other hand, be

Aldrlch and His Bag OF Apples.

Senator Aldrich is not winning lasting
fame on account of the tariff revision, but
he at least is getting himself more talked
about than anyone else in Congress or
ont of it. One can find all sorts of views
as to whether the Finance Committee
chairman is a great man or whether he
isn't.
Here is. one interesting opinion from a
progressive Republican Senator, who
emphatically denies that Aldrich is en-
titled to the reputation which he has ac-
quired for ability.
"Aldrich is not the great man some of
the newspapers make him out to be"
said this Senator, who has not hesitated
to beard the lion in his den repeatedly in
the course of the tariff discussion. HE
is not an intellectual man. His recent
speech in the Senate when the tariff bill
was about to pass was very ordinary
performance. The fact is it does not re-
quire the genius that people imagine to
lead the majority of the Senators in this
tariff situation. AS chairman of the FL
nance Committee. Aldrich has the assets
to distribute, and the fellows who are
looking for tariff favors just naturally
flock where they think they can get
them. Come with me and you can have

FRIDAY, JULY ss, 1909.

An exchange says: "There is probably
more corruption in public and private
business in Pennsylvania than in any
other state, judged by the reports in the
daily press. The rulers of that great
slave preserve refuse to correct their ways
and now propose to punish anyone who
speaks Of their corruption. Thelegislature
has just passed law making It a felony
subject to fine of $4,000 apd Eve years
in prison, for anyoneto speak damagingly
Of any bank or trust company. And yet,
e number of the banks of that state have
been VIGOROUSLY crooked. They have
been the corrupters of the public service;
they have been looted and the depositers
have lost millions--but it is crime to
say anything about It. Free speech!

When in his official capacity he refused
to stop the police persecution of 19.year

police commissioner, ordered the police to

WASHINGTON LETTER.

President Taft has taken determined
stand for free iron ore, free hides, free
coal and free petroleum and for the re-
duction of the duty on lumber to one
half the Diugley rate, that is to one dol.
lar thousand feet. He has won the
support of the conferrees on the tariff bill
for these reductions and he is now en-.
gagged in bringing into line those men,
bers of the Senate and the House who,
for selfish and local reasons, have op-
posed tariff revision downward. When
the President made clear to the Senate
and.the House conferrees his views on
these schedules they told him they
would readily consent and would report
a bill in accordance with his wishes but
that they feared the conference report
containing these reductions would be re-
jected by the Senate and possibly by the
House. The President told them he
could take care of those who would re-
ject the conference report because it con-
tanned too, much downward revision and
they expressed wish that he do so.

HEART DIsEASE-It's Cause and
Cure.

Heart disturbances and diseases are
usually caused by indigestion. So closely
related are the heart and stomach that
arrangements of the digestive organs
always effect the heart. If the digestive
organs continue unhealthy long, the
heart may become diseased. Make your
digestive organs healthy by using Ry-
dale's Stomach Tablets. They will soon
establish normal healthy action in the
digestive tract and relieve the heart from
all strain and thus cure Heart disease.

NEW YORK, June 26.-The princess
with ITS many original draperies have
ceased to be a novelty, but there have
sprung up within the last few weeks
some distinctly new features which are
intimately connected with it. The lat.
est, possibly, is the long rcdingote. of
ten made of smoke-colorcd mousseline
dc sole, which wells various sorts Of
onc-pieec gowns Over tho soft old
shades OF red, blue, green, yellow and
purple the neutral tone does wonders,
and 1t also brings out happy effects in
printed silks.
A princess gown made Of blue fou

redingote But for dress occasions
where plain satins and silks are more
appropriate, the gauze coat is bettor
suited. While gowns are being worn
under tinted mousselipe de sole rcdn-
Gotes or even under black. A white
shantung princess frocb has blue red
lngotc, accompanying it, and the hat
worn with the costume is of white
straw. trimmed with blue feathers.
Tunes have developed into some of the
most graceful drapcries used at pres.
ent. The vogue for all-over cmbroi-
dcred or braided or lace inset bodices
with skirts that arc moro or less plain
costumes. And the tendency TO trim
the hips OF gowns also remains ono OF
the tavorite embellishments. Women
with a last years two-piece gown to
turn into princess can do so without
great effort. since the fad for trimming
the hip part Of the skirt came III. Ii

gowns are made over white foundations.

in the white Brussels lace gumpe and

broidery which covered the entire front
OF this gown was exquisite. IT was
