ENDS STOMACH TROUBLE
Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Gas or lndi-
eestion go Five Minutes Later

AS there is often some one in your
family who suffers an attack of Indi-
gestion or some form of stomach
trouble why don't you keep some
Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort and overcome
sour, gassy stomach five minutes af-
ter.
Tell your pharmacist to let you
read the formula plainly printed on
these so cent cases of Pape's Diapep-
sin. then you will readily see why it
makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach,
Heartburn and other distress go in
five minutes and relieves at once
such miseries as Belching of Gas,
Eructations of sour undigested food,
Nausea. Headaches, Dizziness, Consti-
patton and other Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to
find relief from Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia or an out of order stomach
with the common everyday cures ad-
yertised that they have about made
up their minds that they have some
thing else wrong, or believe theirs is
a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Ca
tarrh of the Stomach or Cancer.
This, no doubt, is a serious mistake
Your real trouble is, what you eat
does not digest; instead, it ferments
and sours, turns to acid, Gas and
Stomach poison, which purify in the
digestive tract and intestines and
besides poison the breath with naus-
eous odors.
A hearty appetite with thorough di-
gestion and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery of the stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you de-
eide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

WESTON WELLOVER
1000 MILES ON
HIS MARCH
Veteran Pedestrian is Nearing
Albuquerque, N. M.
AHEAD OF HIS SCHEDULE
His Average Has Been More Than he
Figured Although on the Hard
est Part Of Way

Albuquerque. New Mexico, Feb q.
Edward Payson Weston is resting
quietly today at the little railroad sid
ing of Sandia, on the main line of the
Santa Fe, % miles west of this city.
The veteran pedestrian, who will eel
citrate his list birthday next month,
has undertaken to tramp the breadth
of the United States in 80 days, is
now four days ahead of his schedule
and a message received from him
here tonight intimates that before an
other week has gone by he will still
further have increased his lead on his
previously planned time.
A week ago tonight he was at Hib-
bard, Arizona, which is some 800
miles west of this city, so that in six
walking days Weston has averaged
almost so miles every "a hours. The
magnitude of this feat is too appar-
ent to require much comment but
that a man well along in his seventy
first year Should be able to accom-
plish what few people of less than
half that age could do is so remark
able that it does seem TO warrant
special attention.
Weston was not due in Sandia I'M
til March 3, according to his SEIZED
ule. But since February /, when he
left Los Angeles he has tramped 1914
miles over railroad, roadbed and
through deserts at speed that has
landed him there with SO hours to
spare should accident or delay over
take him anywhere, and yet it finds
him in perfect physical condition.
Starting from Hubbard early last
Monday morning Weston put AZ miles
of sagebrush and algali behind him
before he decided to rest for the night
at the home of railroad man near
the little town of Holbrook. He con-
tinued the next morning at daybreak
and reeled off 20 miles without a
CULVER, pushing on well along toward
Adamlna before nightfall.

GIANTS LOSE FIRST GAME
Dallas Trounces New York Young
sters by Score Of II 10 8

Dalals. Texas, Feb. 27.-Nine
young Giants under the personal
leadership of McGraw, who played
third base, were defeated by the Dali
las team of the Texas League in the
opening exhibition game of the sea-
son here this afternoon. The final
score resulted: New York, s; Dallas
IL. The defeat was due largely to
luck, as the field was in miserable
playing shape and the handling Of
ground balls was practically impossi-
BILE. 1t was a knockabout affair from
the start and the victory depended
on which side got the fewer errors
on hard-hit balls.
The Giants had an even nine men
on the field and there was no chance
for a substitution of pitchers or hit
tiers. Dickinson and Temple alterna-
ted as pitchers and right fielders. The
former proved to be a better pitcher
than an outfielder for most of the
un-getting drives were balls hit
past him in right field. A regular
.outfielder could have caught nearly
all of them and the game would have
been saved. On one occasion Dick
son was at the bat with the bases full
and McGraw wanted a man to hit in
two runs so as to tie the score. He
looked over at the bench though and
found that he didn't have another
player on the field He had to go
through with the game just as he
started. Lush played a spectacular
game at first and most of the runs
made by the Giants were due to his
terrific hitting. He got four clean
drives out of five times up On two
occasions when he hit the bases were
full.
Zacker also played a beautiful
game and he hit the ball to the fence
the first time up for two bases. Dick
son pitched a good game so far as
judgment was concerned, but he was
ordered not to try and curve balls.
All he used was a change of pace.
Shafer went lame in the first inning
and he limped around the bases for
the rest of the game. Maloney the
Dallas manager, who has been play
ing major and minor league ball for
20 years. drove out four clean hits
for Dallas and did much toward win
ming the game.

IN PHILADELP HIA
STR|KEOF 125OOOl
IS IMMINENT
But Men Vote to Postpone Walk
Out Until Saturday
CHANCE FOR ARBITRATION
Delay is to Give Another Opportunity
to Settle the Strike Of Trolley
Car Men

Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-Leaders of
all the unions represented in the Cen
trail Federated Union of this city and
of other unions today voted with sub
stantial unanimity for general
strike in sympathy with the striking
car men, 1t was decided, however,
that the $4,000 workers who would
be involved should not be called until
next Saturday so that business and
professional interests might have
time to bring pressure to bear to in
duce the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company to make a settlement with
its men.
Rioting was renewed today and in
some cases the outbreaks were of a
serious nature. More cars were run
than on Saturday but the men on
them were hooted in all parts of the
city and in many cases were attack
ed by crowds that the police had diff
ficulty in dispensing. Few persons
cared to ride on them Two persons
were killed in car accident that was
a result of the strike.
The decision for a general strike
WAS ItUCueu 1T Ollt vi Nilt must lC-
markable union labor gatherings ever
held in this city. 1t was held at tho
headquarters of the Central Labor
Union, 232 North Ninth street. On
account of the large number of dele
gates present it was necessary to use
two halls to conduct the meeting.
There were present 122 delegates of
which nineteen represented trade UNI
ions not affiliated with the Central
body.
When the resolutions advocating a
general strike next Saturday, which
had been agreed upon by the chief
union men present, were submitted
the representatives of the non-affilia,
ted unions were greatly dissatisfied
with the delay and urged to a man
that the strikA-talSe place tomorrow.
These delegates declared in forceful
language that a delay would cause
unfavorable criticism by the public
and would arouse doubt as to til, s.a
cerity of the action. Several u he
delegates declared that to wait until
Saturday would give many contract
ors chance to bring thousands OF
workmen to this city to counterfeit
the effect of a general strike.

FOSTER is LAUGHED AT
Vermont Congressman Tries to De-
fend "Near" insurgents

A Washington dispatch to The
Montpelier Journal Saturday morn
ing reads as follows:
So called near" insurgents of the
House, the gentlemen who are sup
posed to denounce Speaker Cannon
without stint in their home district
and tamely do his bidding here in
Washington, were bitterly attacked
on the floor of the House late yester-
day afternoon by Claude Kitchen,
DemsssAn of North Carolina, who is
recognized as one of the best debat-
ers in the lower branch of Congress,
Kitchin characterized the near in
surgents as men by the speaker only
turn against him in the hour of
his need.
"Brutus, wnen he assassinated Gaze
sal,' said Kitchin, promised the Ro-
mans a better man than Caesar
These former friends of the speaker
in the assassination of that gentle
man, do not make a promise of any
thing, but someone weaker than the
speaker. | have some pride in the
intellectually of this body and in the
courage of it and ii this House must
have a Republican speaker, then |, as
member and a Democrat, prefer to
see Speaker Cannon in the chair
myself, would rather see giant
there than d weakling, | would rath-
er see a lion than a fox.
"Cowards' was another of Kitchin's
nh ,to ,.t0 -
gents He tried hard to get some
OF them to rise to the bait and at
tempt an explanation. He was par
ticularly rough on Taylor, Cole and
the other members from Ohio, but
all of them managed to keep their
tempers very well until Congressman
D. j. Foster of Vermont, rose to his
feet at the conclusion of Kitchins
speech and attempted to reply. Fos-
ter didn't have the sympathy of eth
er the regular Republicans, the real
insurgents or the Democrats, as was
apparent from the rather jeering re-
marks that greeted his attempt, but
he would have been all right If he
hadn't committed himself to the
statement that the Republicans of
New England are against Cannon.
Then up bobbed Rainy of Illinois,
with the suave query as to what
points of difference existed between
Cannon and the Republicans of New
England and while the Vermont mem
Der was framing a suitable reply,
Rainey gently ST, gested that he file
80 Ii 80 = h,,N oh, nt,.
mans hammer fell with the simulta-
neous suggestion that "the gentle
mans time has expired"

INVITED TO VERMONT
President Taft Doesn't Promise But
Says He May Come

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2S.-Pres-
ident Taft may visit Vermont next
fall as the guest of the Vermont His
torical society and deliver an address
before the society on the occasion of
its annual meeting at Montpelier
which is fixed for the third Tuesday
in October.
An invitation for this purpose was
extended the president this morning
by Col. Charles S. Forbes of st. AL
bans, corresponding secretary Of the
Vermont Historical society, who call
ed by appointment at the White
House accompanied by Congressman
ID. J. Foster In extending the invit-
alton Secretary Forbes stated that
the people on the east side OF the
state were very DESTROYS of seeing
and hearing the president and that
comparatively few of them were able
personally to greet and welcome him
during the Lake Champlain Tercen-
tenary celebration in the Champlain
valley last summer and that the pro
posed trip to the capital of the state
would give them this opportunity.
The custom to have the annual or
alton before the society delivered in
the state house and that he would
have an audience of Vermonters from
all sections of the state were explain
ed to the president.
President Taft in response said he
would be very glad to visit Vermont
as the guest of the Historical society
and make an address, and while he
could not at this time give definite
answer he would come to Montpelier
If he found it possible to do so and
public business permitted him to
leave. The president in the course
of the interview, facetiously said that
he thought perhaps the people on the
east side of the Green mountains had
been able to hear his speech made
at Burlington during the Champlain
celebration last summer.
"Perhaps they could hear your
voice but not quite well enough to
understand all you said was the re
joinder.

THE FORTUNE OF HAvgMEYeR
Nearly 100000 Goes to Mrs. James
Watson Webb

New York Feb. ga valuation of
the fortune left by Henry o. Have
meyer, the late head of the sugar
trust, made by order of the surrogate
court shows that he left an estate
worth $14,500,000 according to re-
port today anticipating the filing of
the state appraisers report.
1t was thought that the sugar mag
nate left much larger estate and at
the time of his death in 1907, it was
estimated BY friends all the way from
$20,000,0O0 to $60,000,000.
The appraisal shows that one-third
of the estate was left to his daugh-
ter, Electra who recently married
James Watson Webb OF Vermont.
