ALL STOMACH TROUBLE GOES.

acid stomach in five minutes, besides
overcoming all foul, Nauseous odors

Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula plainly printed on each
50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin, then
promptly cures Indigestion and re-
moves such symptoms as Heartburn,
a feeling like a lump of lead in the
stomach, Belching of Gas and Eructa-
lions of undigeSted food, water brash,
Nausea, Headache, Billiousness and
many other bad symptoms; and, be-
sides, you will not need laxativeS to

Oklahoma, and the Democrats of send
ing a complete Democratic delegation
from South Carolina.
In Ohio, the Republicans are likely
to lose three members. General Keifer
in the Seventh district will have a
struggle for reelection but probabili-
ties are in his favor.
Chaotic in Indiana.
Political conditions in Indiana are
pretty chaotic. Senator Beveridge will
have a strong support among Demo-
Gratis. Representatives Barnard, Korb-
ly, Morrison and Rauch will have very
hard fights for reelection. Represen-
tative Crumpacker will almost UNI
doubtedly be reelected.
In Kentucky, two or three districts
which are at present Republican are
likely to go Democratic. Caleb Pow
ers will probably be elected in the
Eleventh district, as the normal Re
publican majority is very large.
In Wisconsin, no changes are prob
able, although Representative Cary
Will have a somewhat hard fight for
reelection, with the chances in his
favor.
In Minnesota. Sidney Anderson, who
defeated Representative Tawney at the
primaries, may have some difficulty
in securing the "standpat" vote, and
there is little doubt of the reelection
of Representative Hammond Demo
craft in the Second district; otherwise,
the state delegation is not likely to be
changed
In Iowa. the result is doubtful in the
First and Second districts, represented
at present by standpat Republicans,
and in Representative KendalPs dis
trict, the Sixth. In the Eighth dis
trict a Republican will quite surely
take the place of Representative ia
mieson (Democrat) and Representa-
tive Smith will have a hard fight for
reelection in spite of a considerable
normal Republican majority.
In Kansas the eight Republican
nominees, it is estimated will be elect
In Missouri. the present Republican
representatives in the 18th, 18th, 18th
18th and 10th districts are likely to
be replaced by Democrats.
In Nebraska. a Democrat will prob
ably succeed Representative Hinshaw
in the 4th district. Representative
Norris who won his election two years
ago by only % votes plurality, is
strongly supported by both Republi-
cans, and Democrats and will almost
surely be reelected.
In Montana, the probabilities fav-
or the return of a Democrat in place
of Representative Pray eRepublican)
The Pacific States Except Nevada)
are almost solidIy Republican, as us
ual. except that in California the cleo
ton of a Democrat in the 4th dis
trict, to replace Representative Kahn,
is probable.
One of the most interesting phe-
nomena disclosed by our investigation
is the large number of stalwart Can
non Republicans who have seen a
great light" and are either openly
or surreptitiously announcing to their
constituents that they will never again
vote for the old man" OF course,
nothing in politics is more certain than
that Speaker Cannon will never again

"DEESTRICT" is SOLD.
Captain Streeter's Claim Goes Under
the Hammer for 81 900

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The "deestrict''
of Lake Michigan, United States of
America generally known as street
erville,' is no more. "Cap'n" George
Wellington Streeter, king of the
deestrict," has been vanquished and
the ''deestrict' was knocked down I'M
der the hammer for the insignificant
sum of $1,000.
Despite the "Cap'n's" protests that
the 'deestrict" could not be disposed
of without a clear deed from him. it
was auctioned off by a deputy sheriff
Attorney w. G. Anderson, who was in
strumental in freeing Streeter from the
penitentiary for the killing of John S.
Kirk, Waterman employed to guard
some property in the "deestrict. ;" was
the buyer.
The "deestrict' or that part of it in
which Streeter is alleged to be inter
ested, was sold to satisfy a judgment
of $4,000 obtained against him by
Attorney Anderson for securing his re-
lease from the penitentiary When
Attorney Anderson was working for
tie pardon of Streeter, the latter is
said to have promised him a fee of
$4,000 II he succeeded. Later. how
ever, Streeter is said to have refused
to consider Anderson's demands for
settlement. The case was in the courts
for some time and was brought to a
climax when the superior court or
dered a sheriff's sale.
IF Streeter later is found to be not
legally entitled to any intCSest in the
district the sale will be declared void.

THINKING OF WHITE.
Taft Is Considering Three Men for
Chief ,JusticeShip.

New York. Oct. 19.-It was learned
here today that again the candidates
for chief justice of the United States
Supreme court whom President Taft
is considering is Associate Justice Ed
ward Douglass White. He is strongly
urged for the place.
Justice White was appointed to the
Supreme court from Louisiana and is
a Democrat. 1t is believed the presi-
dent will give very great weight to
political consideration in making his
selection. While the president is con-
sidering both Senator Root and Jus
tice White, he has not as yet given up
the idea of appointing Justice Hughes
Some time ago it seemed the latter
was to be appointed; but the fact that
he is seeking opinions both as to JUS
to indicate Mr.. Taft has not made up
his mind.

the rays from the powerful glasses

have been directed from the cruiser

at the navy yard, used her light to
excellent advantage during the even

Lights were moved to many angles,

The cruiser Dixie was supplied with
