WOOL SCHEDULES
' MAY Be THE SANE
Ways and Means Committee
. Practically Agreed on
Other Tariffs.

The Republican members OF the House
Committee on Ways and Means are get
ting at the bic things Of the tariff
schedules, thereby getting II the depth
of their troubles land arousinG the
keencst interest anf2pg business men
There is a genetal belief that the
Senate influence win be the stronger in
the framing of the new bill, but for ali
that much Importance is attached to the
forthcoming action of the House. The
aim of the committee Is to introduce the
bill on March -. the first day of the
special session, if that be possible.
The committee is now at work on the
wool schedule notable for the active in
terest in it by host of ranchmen and
farmers in all parts of the country, and
for its effect on a great industry. 1t
has been said that the committee will
DO all in its power TO satisfy the farm
fnG interests, and that, in part gives
rise TO the belief that the wool pro-
duccrs wis oe well protected.
Present Tariff, II Cents.
The present tariff on hrst-cIass wool

cents a pound. Those are the only two
classes produced in this country Bar

AIDES, and the prospects are good that
they Will remain untouched.
1t is currently reported at the Capitol,
and is believed, that the committee has
voted TO place hides on the free list
In that case. II viii, in all probability,
be found that the committee has also
made important reductions in the tariff
on shoes and other leather goods.
When the tariff schedules have al
last been agreed upon. the committee
Will be confronted by the imposing
duty OF raising additional revenue

FOUND EASY PICKING
Geo. A. silsby's Residence Was En-.
tered by Burglars Friday After
noon and Did Well

1t is not the custom of the Silsby
family to go away and leave the
house unlocked, but they had to do
1t Friday afternoon owing to the
fact that damp weather had swelled
the front door SO that it cannot be
drawn entirely closed, and it was left
that way when Mrs. Silsby and her
daughters, Mrs. Hitchcock and Mrs.
Nichols went out calling about 8
O'Clock. When the ladies returned
two hours later they discovered evil
dences at once that some one had
been in the house during their abb
sence. Continued investigation on
their part revealed the further fact
that the person or persons had
helped themselves to some articles of
value and at the same time had over
look something that would have
brought them good money.
Practically every room in the
large house was rif1ed by the thieves,
and they secured gold watches be-
longing to Mrs. Silsby and Mrs. Hitch
cock, also a gold brooch belonging to
the latter and Mrs. Nichols missed a
diamond ring and or two other
articles of jewelry. A pocketbook
was found in one place and another
elsewhere in the house, which Melted
them about SIS in money, while an
other pocketbook was overlooked
that contained a larger sum. The
excitement in the Silsby household,
after the investigation was conclud-
ed, vas intense, but there was moth
ing by which the robbers could be
traced and one of the neighbors
saw the parties enter the house, con-
sequently there is little clue to give
to the police department on which
they could work with the idea Of
landing the thieves.
Descriptions Of the jewelry and
watches were placed with all the
jewelry stores of the city, but it is
not likely that the robbers would at
tempt to dispose of it in Mitchell.
This robbery might serve as al
warning to people who are in the
habit of trusting so much to the hon.
esty of mankind that they most al
ways leave their houses unlocked.

might be all right for a time, but

they discover that their house has
been opened and many things of
value taken.

Our Guarantee

Go to your druggist today, and
purchase q dollar bottle, and IL you
can honestly say, that you did not
receive any benefits from it, after
using the entire bottle, the drug
gist will refund your money to you
without question or delay.
We will pay the druggist the price
OF the bottle purchased by you.
This offer applies to the large
bottle only and to but one in a
family.
We could not afford to make such
an offer, unless we positively knew
what Kodol will do for you.
1t would bankrupt us.
The dollar bottle contains ~ times
as much as the fifty cent bottle.
Kodol is made at the laboratories

Eat What
You want Of the food you need
Kodo1 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 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
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.

Tells of Bride Offer.

Capt Loose produced the short note,
written on Pan-American Development
letterhead, and proceeded:
There was no one in the room when
| saw Lightfoot and he says to me first
thing that there was $1,000 waiting for
me in a bank If l would contradict my
statements as printed in the Times. L
told him no. and he tried to persuade me
every way but refused. and afterward
told Dunkle about II, and we both agreed
there was nothing to 1t. so we refused.
Next day get this letter from Mr.. Light
foot, which you can copy.
AS Loose fingered this letter he smiled,
saying:
That's pretty cagey letter, eh? You'd
think maybe I'd told him something. But
told him nothing. except that what was
In my affldavits was the truth and
wouldn't say nothing else.
"It looks to me-. added Loose. like a
put up job all the way through. Light
foot and Osbon and Cook are all friends.
and Lightfoot was Cooks agent in this
thing to try to square up DR.. Cook with
the public II he could. But he can't do
it by me-.
On the back of the first Lightfoot letter
is an ink inscription by Loose, setting
forth that he would go to Copenhagen
for $500 and see the professors" there.
and il the money couldn't be raised there
he could raise it here. Loose couldn't
quite explain what this meant. except
that 1t was the draft of a cable he
thought Of sending to Copenhagen, but
didn't.
