WONDERFUL REMEDY.
sCriptiOn Guaranteed by The
Harper House Pharmacy.

Stephen Waite of Lansing, Michi-
gan, writes:
For over three wears I suffered
much pain and annoyance from stom-
ach disease. l had no help from my
digestive organs apparently, and my
food would stay in my stomach and
ferment, causing gas; there was al
so a dizzy headache. / doctored and
used every remedy that 1 heard of,
but it remained for MI-O-NA to cure
me entirely. Before l had used three
boxes, my appetite and digestive or
gans became all right. 1t is a won
derful remedy"

small and easy to swallow. They

tress in five minutes. They drive
out sourness and gas and make the
stomach clean and sweet.

States. A resolution introduced in the
house yesterday by Representative
Henry T. Rainey of Illinois provides
for a committee of five, which is di-
rected to ascertain if Theodore Roose-
welt ever paid or had anyone else pay
the railroads which furnished his spe-
cial trains for his peregrinations about
the country.
The turkey hunts, bear hunts,
speechmaking tours and other JOY
rides of the seven years of the Roose-
welt regime will be inquired into The
resolutions was sent to the committee
on rules by Speaker Cannon. If this
committee fails to pass upon it with

Mr.. Rainey will make such a motion
and address the house on the subject
The splendor of the Roosevelt joy rides
are we'll known and when the president
had his bear hunt in the cane brakes
of Louisiana, his big game hunt in
Colorado and other junkets he usually
travelled on special train made up of
Pullman for himself, one for his
friends, one for newspaper correspon-
dents, diningcar and a baggage-car
Such a train is expensive to the rail-
roads. Each car of a special train costs
at the rate of % fares. A charge OF
mileage and $50 a day for an engine
is made. Some of the railroad trips
of the president covered thousands of
miles.
Make Complaint.
The stockholders of the railroads
make the complaint that the Pennsyl-
vania has never been reimbursed for
the transportation furnished Mr..

DAVID WORTH is
HELD AS FORGER
Mrs. Bertha Baker Identifies
, Him as Person Who Passed
Worthless Check.
PLACED UNDER ST 900 BOND
Crime Committed in September, Gull
prit Leaving City-Returns
Sunday and Is Arrested.

The police have finally apprehended
the forger who passed the bogus check
on Mrs. Bertha Baker, who keeps a
grocery store at Third avenue and
Twenty-second street They thought
once before that they had the fellow,
but the suspect turned out to be a man
from Iowa who closely resembled the
forger, but was in no way connected
with him. The man under arrest now
is Barney alias David Worth. He has
been identified by Mrs. Baker and is
lying at the county Jail in default of
$1,000 bonds awaiting an investigation
sof his case by the grand jury. Worth,
it is alleged, went to Mrs. Baker 5
store in September and after making a
few small purchases, presented a
check for $50 in payment. The check
was cashed, but was later found to be
worthless. Mrs Baker gave minute
description of the man and the police
have been watching for him since.
Sunday Worth returned to the city and
he had been here but a few hours be-
fore officers Kinsley and Kinney de-
tected him and placed him under ar
rest.
Two Are VaEged.
Police Magistrate c. ]. Smith sent
Charles Smith and Dan Murphy to the
county Jail for 40 days when they were
arraigned before him in the police
court this morning. Both were &C
cused of being saloons loiterers and
both had been before the court sever
al times within the last month On
each occasion they had been warned
that they were not wanted in Rock
Island, but they persisted in staying
here nevertheless, so they were given
a sentence that will doubtless make
them fight shy of this city in the fu-
ture.

OLD LEADERS RETIRED.

Of the older members of the state
senate who failed to secure renomi-
nation few have been more con.
spicuous than F. H. Peterson of
Moorhead and C.. A. Johnson of
st. Peter.
Senator Peterson, who is in Be-
midi at the present time, declares
it will be relief to lay down the
cares with which he has found him.
self burdened during the last ses,
sions of the legislature. He has
served as senator for eight years
and was member of the sub-com-
mittee which drew the omtrbus ap-
preparation bill.
Senator Johnson has also been in
the senate for four terms and had
the distinction of defeating the late
Governor John A. Johnson when he
sought reelection to the senate in

A DISGRACEFuL GOVERNOR.

Perhaps there was time when a
narrow minded individual with an
enlarged hump of bigotry could
publicly pose as a close friend to
criminals and exert the power given
him as the governor of a great state
to pardon wanton murderers but if
so, that time is passing and with. it
goes Patterson, who as chief execu-
tive for three years of Tennessee has
granted freedom to 1926 criminals,
the most notorious of whom. are the
Carmacks, father and.son, who, were
convicted of having shot hown a
United States senator.
Patterson says he has withdrawn
from the race as candidate to sue
coed himself as governor, because of
political trlckery. AS matter of
fact he is out of the race because an.
outraged commonwealth Wills it.
