June l4.-Henry Steel, for a long
time an invalid, died in Oleta Oh
Monday about seven O'Clock. Little
is known of his autecedants aud no
one seems to know whether he has
any relatives living, and If so where.
In conversation a few months ago
he told me he was, il remember
rightly, a natlve of Pennsylvania.
lie told me last summer be was past
6s. and had varied his occupation at
mining and mill building. For more
than fifteen years be buiit mills aud
mined in Idaho and Montana. lie
said he was personally acquainted
with the late Marcns Daley, and W.
II. Clark. the millionaire copper men.
/ think he was of German extraction,
he was a man OF considerable ability,
rather reserved. lie said he was a
millwTight by trade aud had built
many mills in Idaho and Montana on
contracts. lie had a mania for min
ing and followed it with varied sue
cess, sometimes making, sometimes
losing. lie had a chronic affection
OF the spine that made him for
several years almost helpless at
times. For the past year or so he has
been a ward of the county and was
kept alive through its generosity.
The old man sleeps the sleep of
death. No gorgeous burial will he
receive, but in a plain old fashioned
coffin his remains will be laid to rest,
you might say 10 the potters' Held,
with no one to attend it, no flowers

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need 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 stomach If
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat q sufilc-
lent 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 it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

EVIDENCE TENDS TO SHOW
THAT ZELAYA IS ABOUT
TO RETIRE FROM OFFICE

WASHINGTON Dec. 1O.-Eyidence
Is multiplying that Zelaya intends to
retire as president of Nicaragua.
Reports to this effect are general
throughout that country, and the
American consular officers seem to
give credence to them.
The latest news from Nicaragua
reaching the state department today
said Jose Madriz was being talked Of
a. Zelaya's successor. 1t is presumed
this suggestion comes from Zelaya's
friends and therefore his selection
would be far from satisfactory to this
government.
Madriz was chairman of the Mica
raguan delegation to the Central Amer
lean Peace conference held here in 1907
and he was also elected secretary of
the conference. At present he is the
representative of the Nicaraguan gov
ernment in the Central American court
of justice at Cartago, which is charged
with the settlement of Questions arising
among the several Central American
countries.
The cruiser Albany and the gunboat
Yorktown, which received hurried or
ders last week while at Magdalena
bay to proceed Immediately to Corinto,
are now half way to that place. Upon
their arrival the gunboat Vicksburg,
which has been at Corinto for some
days, will be relieved to go to Panama
for fuel supplies.

DEFENDANTS CLAIM SCALES
ON DOCK WERE INACCURATE
Trial of Six Men Accused In Connec-
tion with Sugar Trust Scandals
Well Under Way

NEW YORK, Dec 1O-Supposed in
accuracy in the government scales on
the Brooklyn dock is the main feature
of the defense of the six employees of
the American Sugar Refining company
on trial here for alleged conspiracy.
Henry f. Cochrane, in opening his
address for the defense today, declared
the seventeen scales in question on
which the alleged underweighing was
done were of an obsolete style, grossly
inaccurate of themselves and that
many of the government weighers were
incompetent.
"These defective scales, owned and
operated by the government" contin-
ued Mr.. Cochrane, weighed more than
100000 tons Of sugar every year, and
no man in human reason could hope
to supervise them"
This indicated that it would be
claimed that the shortages in weights
were due to the scales and the gov
ernment employees and not to manip-
ulation by the sugar company's en-
ployes
Oliver Splitter. first of the six de-
PENDANTS called to testify, denied hav-
ing tried to brlbe government in
spector. He also denied the existence
of alleged signal lights on the dock to
warn the sugar company employees of
the approach of government inspectors.

The market Immediately rushed up about 40
points with very heavy and excited trading.
Now that the government report Is out, and
the small crop theory has been confirmed, the
question is up to the spinners and consumers
