Inspiration In Dreams.

Coleridge must be added 10 the lisl
OF authors who have found inspiration
IN dreams. for he himself told us that
he composed over 200 lines OF "Kubls
Khan" during a sleep of three hours
On awaking he wrote down the frag
ment now existing. but the interrup
ton OF a visitor banished the rest
from his mind. The first idea OF 'Tht
Ancient Mariner" too. was suggested
to the poet by a dream of his friend
Cruikshank. And Kipling's Greatest
story In the World" was but the half
remembered dream OF a commonplace
young man.

A TONIC FOR
INDIGESTION
Best Remedy for Weak Stomach
as Is Shown by the Cure Of
This Ohio Case.

In cases of weak stomach where the
patient is pale and the blood thin, the
first step toward restoring the activity
of the stomach is TO improve the condi-
ton of the blood. A supply of rich,
l-oxygenated blood is necessary to
the processes Of digestion and with it, if
errors in diet are avoided, nature will
work cure. This is known as the tonic
treatment for indigestion aud is illus
trated by the experience of Mrs. Jennie
Bailey, the wife of prosperous farmer
ut Chcsterland, Ohio.

she says, land finally became so bad

Columbus, o., March 25.-President
Taft declined to give any encourage.
ment to the opposition to the Woods
public utilities bill, now pending in
the Ohio legislature.
A delegation composed Of Repre-

and Wilbur went to Washington
and met Senators Dick and Burton
and Representative Douglas. The
senators and Douglas accompanied
them TO the White House.
Erwin, as the floor leader OF the
Ohio house, acted as spokesman. He
told Mr.. Taft that the delegation
thought the public utilities bill ought
not to be passed, especially at this
session. He said their chief objection
was to the street railroad feature OF
the measure and also said that there
was already enough legislation under
way at Columbus.
The president took the same stand
he has taken heretofore, that he
would not interfere In Ohio legisla-
tion. He did not feel like placing
himself on record as opposing any
bill which the assembly was consid.
ering, and he intimated that whether
this or any other bill should be pass.
ed was a matter which the members
Of the assembly should decide for
themselves.
The senate committee on privileges
and elections has agreed on the Haw.
kins congressional primary bill and
will report the measure out next
Tuesday. The bill will be made spe-
cial business for Wednesday and is
assured passage in the senete. 1t has

Hot Springs, Ark, March 25.-The
conference of Democratic notables
being held here has virtually decided
that Judson Harmon, governor of
Ohio, will be the next Democratic
candidate for president.
Even II he should be beaten for his
second term. there is a feeling he
would still be the most available can

been here to consult Norman Il.
Mack, national chairman; Charles f.
Murphy, the Tammany boss, and
Roger Sullivan of Illinois, who form
the triumvirate occupying the Demo.
cratic daiZ at this time.
Chairman Mack refuses, OF course,
TO declare himself for any candidate,
but he has admitted the probability
OF Harmon's nomination. Murphy
has nodded acquiescence.
The campaign is to be waged on
the tariff issue almost exclusively.
The platform is to consist of a de-
nunciation of the Payne-Aldrich law,
followed by as many supplementary
remarks to the same general effect
as may be necessary to give 1t digni-
