HAD TO SEE MARATHON RACE.
Girl Found Later She Had Paid High
Price for Privilege.

John j. Hayes, the Marathon cham
pion, was describing in New York the
enthusiasm that the Marathon race
caused among Americans In London.
That race" said he, was the chief
motive that took us Americans abroad
last summer. Indeed, coming back on
the boat, / heard an almost incredible
story about the races attraction.
There was very pretty girl
aboard who seemed unhappy. Her un-
happiness was due to her husband.
She was married to a rich but very
old man; he might have been her
grandfather.
she was a very frank sort of girl,
and she confided her marital troubles
to one OF the women at her table.
From her condolences 1t was plain that
the aged husband was a brute.
But, my dear child said the
woman, what ever induced you to
marry such a mann
Well, you see,' said the girl, 4
was so anxious to see that Marathon
race!'"

WON A VICTORY
In His Death at the Hands of His Po-
litical Enemies

A few months ago former senator and
editor, Il. w. Carmack, was shot dead
on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee,
by Col. ID. b. Cooper and his son Robin
Cooper, because of his firm attitude
agsinst the liquor traffic. The Coopers
were convicted of the crime last week.
A dispatch from Nashville says:
"Former United States Senator Ed
ward w. Carmack, slain in the streets
eff Nashville on his way home from his
editorial office, has won the political
victory in death that he had lost in life.
"Gov. Malcolm r. Patterson, the
young governor whose remarkable pop
ularity in the state gave him two cleo
tons, his second nomination against
the powerful opposition of Carmack
himself, and whose ambition to reach
the United States senate, was believed
to be as good as already gratified is to-
day politically dead, discredited in his
own state and city, hopeless of his flu
ture and surrounded by the fragments
of wrecked machine of which the
three most powerful former lieutenants
and directors are on trial for their lives
here.
1.-THE prohibition legislation for which
Carmack stood and talked and wrote,
seemingly in vain, profited by his muir
der to such an extent that il swept
through the state legislature with more
drastic features than he had ever dared
to hope, twice passing over the govern
or's veto, and absolutely wiping liquor
out of Tennessee, from the corner sa-
loon to the rich distillery and brewery.
Liquor in any form cannot be sold,
drank, made, bottled or shipped in
Tennessee under the new law. And
heaviest blow of all to Governor Patter-
sons personal hopes, Democratic leg
islature has emphasized his political
ruin by taking away from him, also
despite his veto, the power that was the
last resort of his ambition, the right OF
apportioning election commissioners in
the state-the right that made ii posi-.
blelfor him to defeats Carmack in the
late state primaries.

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Loss of Appetite orDistress After Eat
ing aSymptom That ShouldNot
Be DisreQarded

Appetite is just natural desire for
food. Loss OF appetite or stomach dis
tress after eating indicate indigestion or
dyspepsia. Over-eating is a habit very
dangerous TO PERSONS good general
health, and Unsuitable appetite sure
symptom of diabetes.
1t is not what yot eat but what you
digest and assimilate that does you
good Some of the strongest, heaviest,
and healthiest persons are moderate eat
ers. There is nothing that will create
sickness or cause more trouble than a
disordered stomach, and many people
daily contract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse of the stom-
ach.
We urge everyone in Bedding who is
suffering from any stomach derange-
ment, indigestion or dyspepsia wehther
acute or chronic to try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, with the distinct understand
ing that we will refund their money
without question or formality, if after
reasonable use of this medicine, they
are not perfectly satisfied with the re-
suits. We recommended them to our
customers every day, and have yet to
hear OF anyone who has not been bene-
fitted by them. We honestly believed
them to be without equal. They are
made from the prescription of physician
who devoted all his time to the study
and treatment of stomach troubles.
They give very prompt relief, neu
tralize the castle juices, strengthen the
digestive organs create good digestion
and assimilation, naturally regulate
the bowels, promote project nutrition
and create a permanent cure of al
unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try 25c. box o
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which gives
10 days treatment. AT the end of that
time, your money will be returned TO
you if you are not satisfied. OF course
in chronic cases length of treatment
varies. For such cases we have two
sizes, which sell for 45c rnd S9c.

ness are synonymous. That is not the
case. The saloon serves many other
purposes than that of satisfying the
drink habit, and some of these pur-
poses are perfectly legitimate. Above
all, the saloon satisfies that profound

REV. LYMAN ABBOTT:-sHt was not
the method of Jesus. He lived in an
age of total abstinence societies. but did
not join them. He emphasized the
distinction between His methods and
those of John the Baptist that John
came neither eating nor drinking; the
Son of Man came eating and drinking.
He condemned drunkenness, but never
in a single instance lifted up his voice
in condemnation of drinking. On the
contrary, He commenced His public
ministry by making wine in considera-
BILE quantity, and of fine quality, and
this apparently only to add to the joy

REV. w. |. RAINsFoRD, of New

in our travels we have seen very few
farms that look anything like ours. Hay
and potatoes seem TO be the only things
raised by the Norwegians. The hay is
dried by piling it up on poles stuck in
the earth, which lift it several feet from
the ground. These sections of drying
hay, SO arranged, look at a distance
like nothing else so much as huge cater
pillars crawling along. Women work
in the fields with the men, tossing the
hay upon these poles and taking it
down after it is thoroly dried, but these
are generally quite old women, with oc-
casionally a younger one. Never yet

Says Women Helped Morgan to Escap

Capt. John b. Gibson, a florist of CO.
lumbus, o., and who served during the
war as q Captain in the 1st Ky. Cav,
says that two Columbus women, whose
names he knows but refuses to divulge,
paid 100000 in gold to secure the re-
lease of Gen. John II. Morgan and his
companions from the penitentiary. The
tunnel was dug, but it was all bluff,
and no one ever got, out thru it. The
prisoners were simply turned loose by
the soldiers who guarded them, and
when they got outside the walls they
were hurriedly driven to place where
they changed clothes and were sent out
of the State. The carriage waited just
outside of the female department of the
penitentiary, and wa; occupied by the
women who brought about the escape.
The money was raised by the Southern
women, some of them. giving up their
own fine carriage horses and tewelry to
help raise the fund. There was no
blame to be given Warden Merton. The
raiders were guarded by United States
soldiers. The three brothers of Nor
gan who are yet living in Kentucky
have written out the whole story OF the
escape, but may never give 1t to the
public. Capt. Gibson was n young man,
and in the Kentucky Home Guards with
Morgan when the war broke out.
