RAILROAD MEN ANGRY.
Their Appeals to Taft and Knox I'm
answered.

Dalhart, Tex. Dec. 9.-Angry be-
cause they nave received no answers
to their appeals to President Taft and
Secretary of State Knox in behalf of
James A. Cook, the American conduc-
tor in Jail at GuadalaJara, Mexico, rail-
road men here have appealed to Gov
ernor Campbell and Texas congress-
men to interest themselves in Cook s
case.
Local railroad men declare that If
action for the relief of Cook is not
taken soon they will reta1iate by max
ing it as unsafe for Mexican laborers to
come into this section as they can.
Five hundred dollars has been raised
to defray .he expenses of a campaign
in behalf of Cook, who formerly work
ed here.
Cook was a conductor of a freight
train into Guada1ajara and was arrest
ed after the train was robbed, charged
with completely in the robbery, but
has been refused bond, although his
brakemen and several foreigners ar
rested at the same time and accused
of receiving stolen goods are out on
bond Cook declares he was in the
caboose making out his reports when
the moving train was robbed, and that
his Mexican brakemen were supposed

LIKE TAFT'S MESSAGE.
Berlin Newspapers Comment Favor.
bly, Upon the Document.

Berlin, Dec. 9.-OficiaI and journal
istic comment on President Taft's
message to congress notes with ap-
proval what he says regarding the un-
likelihood of trade wars between the
United States and other countries as a
consequence of the maximum duties
clause of the new tariff law.
The Tageblatt, which represents
financial and radical opinion, con-
cludes a two column review by calling
the message a friendly one.
Mr.. Taft's Utterances respecting
Nicaragua, though considered in off,
cial quarters as rather vague, are
taken to mean that the United States
will restore order in the republic, an
outcome which will be to the advantage
of German trade and German posses
sions there.
All commentators observe that the
message deals with foreign affairs to
an extent hither not done in a presi-
dents message to congress, indicating
that the interests abroad of the United
States are expanding and coming into
contact with European politics, espe-
cially as they concern China, Canada
and Belgian Congo.

every branch of the liquor traffic. They
think that by calling everything rum
they will give the business bad name.
The movement has much of froth and
hypocrisy.
For 60 years a great religious de-
nomination has been teaching US that
the use of any alcohol is sin. This
doctrine is a menace to the industrial
and moral welfare of our people, but
the fault for its widespread popularity
lies largely with ministers who detest
the prohibition movement, but do not
make their opinions public. Four
ffths of the clergymen of my denom-
ination are opposed to prohibition, al
though they favor a sane temperance.
People are following the prohibition
movement because they have been mis-
led by Misrepresentation and fraud.
Ninety-five per cent of those who use
liquor use it temperately.
'The government should attempt to
popularize the lighter alcoholic bever-
ages. The American wine growers are
producing our best temperance drink" "

LOOKS BAD FOR HEYDLER.
His Name May Not Even Be Presented,
Says Robinson.

Pittsburg. Dec. 9.-That John A.
Heydler may not even receive a nomi-
nation for the National league presi-
dency when the magnates gather in
New York next week is the announce
ment made by Barney Dreyfuss, presi-
dent of the Pittsburg club, and one of
the most ardent supporters of the man
who had served in the leading executive
position since the suicide of Harry
Pulliam.
Unless Stanley Robson comes to
the front and declares himself for the
present incumbent, Heydler's name will
not be put up either by Garry Herr
mann or myself said Dreyfuss. 1--WE
both feel that he is too good a man to
be defeated, and If Robson would go
with the Murphy-BrushE Ebbets-F -Fogel
crowd it would mean five votes against
Heydler and sure defeat"

COAL HEATS GAS OFFICE
Gas Company Compelled to Heat
Office With Coal

Emporia, Kan. Dec. 9.-The ex-
treme end of the gas limit was
reached here when Carl Nation,
manager of the local gas company,
was forced to buy coal to keep the
gas office warm. When consumers got
on the line the gas began going
down and the pressure was de-
cidedly on the blink.
Most of the day 1t was practically
null, and there was much switching
back to good old dirty coal. Many
consumers are in favor of Sup-rin-
tendent Wilson's plan Of having part
of the consumers return to other

Men and Detectives.

Bedford, Ind, Dec. 9-The danger
of rioting in the strike of the union
stone cutters in the great quarries

the strikers prosecutions for contempt
of the restraining order granted re-
Gently in the county court, restraining
the national officers of the general
union from paying "strike benefits to
the Bedford membership.
Today affidavits charging violation
of this clause were FLED against
Joseph Evans, national president, and
the local officers of the union.

Presidents Message May Have Bear
ing on This Years Budget.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 9-President
Taft's message may have certain
bearing on Canada's budget for this
year, to be out next week. With the
message, in so far as it relates to
affairs between Canada and the
United States, a satisfaction is ex-
pressed in political circles here

which justifies the assumption that
there is to be a tariff war. and it is
stated authoritatively that the govern
ment is gratified at what it considers
to be the broad manner in which the
president has discussed the admins
tration of the maximum clause of the
American tariff.

CURES INDIGESTION.
All Distress from Stomach and IndigeS-

Take your sour stomach-or may
be you call it indigestion, dyspepsia,
gastritis or catarrh of stomach; it
doesn't matter take your stomach
trouble right with you to your
pharmacist and ask him to open a
so cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
let you eat one 22-grain triangule
and see if within five minutes there
is left any trace of your stomach
misery.
The correct name for your trouble
is food fermentation souring,
the digestive organs become weak,
there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half-digested, and you
become affected with loss of appetite,
pressure and fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, grip
ing in bowels, tenderness in the pit
Of stomach, bad taste in mouth, con-
stipation, pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gass, billiousness. sick
headache. nervousness, dizziness and
many other similar symptoms.
II your appetite is tickle and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas OF
if you feel bloated after eating, or
your food lies like a lump of lead on
your stomach, you can make up your
mind that at the bottom of all this
there is but one cause-fermentation
of undigested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good
as any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting fol-
you. 1t is merely a matter of hov
