Travelling Mans Remarkable
: !. ...-s.. Statement e y. \.

+ Several years ago I was troubled
with Bright's Disease, which worried
me a great deal as my father who
had doctored long time with the
best doctors of eKndalville, Ind,
without relief or cure, died of that
dreadful disease. Having been around
my father most of the time during
his illness,I became familiar with the
symptoms of Bright's Disease. sfG.1Js
When 1 had my first attack my
face became swollen and all grew
black before my eyes and / felt as
though there was little hope for me.
After having several of these attacks,
I began taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, which my wife recommended to
me and noticing some improvement
continued it's use for one year, never
missing one day but taking same as
regular as though a physician was
prescribing for me. -s=4. wi p So
1t is now two years that%I discon-t
tinued the use of 5Swamp-Root as I
consider myself absolutely cured Of
any trouble, having had no use for
a doctor or any other medicine and
have been able to resume my posi-
ton on the road 5sss.s !
fully believe that had my father
taken Swamp-Root in time, he would
have been alive today and we would
have been saved many big doctor

believe that if people afflicted
with any kind Of kidney or bladder
disease would take Swamp-Root in:
time and use it regular, they would
cure themselves and save much suf-
fering as big doctor bills.
E I feel very grateful toward your
medicine and never fail to tell what
Swamp-Root did for me.

mony at any time. .sE5

SAY WEST IS FOR WILSON.
Arkansas Democrat Finds Sentiment
For Governor Of New Jersey.

Arkansas Democrat Finds Sentiment
For Governor Of New Jersey.
Little Rock, Ark, July 19.-That the
west is almost solidly for Woodrow
Wilson as the Democratic presidential
hope in 1912 Is the emphatic opinion Of
John II. Hinemon, former super1ntend-
ent of public instruction Of Arkansas
and presidential e%lector, who has just
returned from an extended tour Of the
western states, including the Pacific
coast country.
Not only is Wilson considered the
rogfcar dfffuhfddfte Dry ttne Democrats of
the west, says Mr.. Hinemon, but VII
liam Jennings Bryan, former presiden-
tal candidate, is still a factor to be
considered, not as a presidential candi-
date again, but as a force thai must be
reckoned with In the selection OF that
candidate.
"1 have been over much Of the
west" said Mr.. Hinemon, land find
very little sentiment for any nan as a
presidential possibility on the Demo
cratic ticket except Woodrow Wilson
Of New Jersey. And 1t doesn't require
a search to find this sentiment; 1t Is in
a sense sticking out everywhere, and
one can hardly avoid finding It. Nc
matter what a mans private opinion
as to the fitness Of this or that candi
date may be, he cannot escape the
fact that, so far as the western states
are concerned, the inclination is over
whelmingly toward Wilson for tht

8 YOUNG GIRLS
ROB so HOUSES
New Havsn Mystery Solved
by Arrest of Children.

New Haven, Conn, July 19.-Point-
ing out to the detectives the houses
they said they had robbed during the
last few months, Mary ~RaggazinO, her
sister, P~hilomena, and Christine Car
sono, three young girls, rode In a car
riage through the city. They pointed
to more than fifty houses from which
they had taken wearing apparel and
money.
The arrest Of the girls was brought
about a few days ago, when Miss
Mary Hughes notified the police that
three little girls had entered her home
and told her they were looking for a
girl friend.
On their departure Miss Hughes
missed S11.S4 from a silver bag and
at once notified the detectives, giving
them a description of the girls.
Captain Dunn Of the detective bu-
reau decided that the best way to find
out just how many robberies had been
committed would be to send the girls
around the city in a carriage with two
Of his men, and this was done with
startling results.
The girls admitted that they had
taken anything from gold watches to
pennies, and it is estimated that the
total amount will reach several hun
dred dollars.
Many houses in Branford, West Hav-
en- and Westville were also robbed by
the girls, and trips to these places will
be made today. The girls have been
released on bail of 5000 each.

NEW PLAN LOST
IN JERSEY CITY
Vote Shows Opposition to
Commission Government.

Jersey City, July 19.-At a special
election the voters rejected the COM
mission form Of government as provid-
ed for in the Walsh act by a majority
Of 1,4&. The vote was 1855 for and
13,06S against the adoption.
Jersey City is the fourth city in New
Jersey to turn down Governor VIII
sons plan, following the example Of
Bayonne, Hoboken and New Bruins
wick. Trenton is the only municipal
ity In the state which has thus far
adopted the new plan of municipal
government.
By the terms of the act 1t was neces-
sary for the advocates of the commits
sion plan to poll at least 11,769 votes,
or 80 per sent of the total number cast
for members Of the assembly in the
city at the 1911 election, even though
there had been a majority for adop-
ton, but the proponents failed to poll
within ninety-seven of the required
number.
The Republican Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth, or Hill wards, alone gave ma
j~orities for commission government.
The Democratic downtown wards
went very heavily against 1t. The
election was quietly but vigorously
conducted, and the hustlers for the
ants around the polls exceeded the
commission workers six to one.
The bulk Of the eleetioneering was
done by the erstwhile Democratic or

BLAME WILSON
|H-MLLHCASE
Secretary is Criticised for
Bringing Affair to Taft.

Washington, July 10. - The investt
CATION into the case Of DR.. Harvey W.
Wiley, chief Of the chemistry bureau,
who is charged with illegally keeping
DR.. Rusby Of Columbia university on
the department Of agriculture payroll
at a salary Of $1,000 a year, has gone
off on another angle.
The impression here from the begin
ming of the Wiley controversy has been
that President Taft would limit his
censure of DR.. Wiley to a reprtmand.
Inasmuch, however, as Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham has recommended
WiIey's dismissal from the government
service such a ourse by the president
promised to embarrass Mr.. Wicker
sham. The incident has hui T
brought nothing to DR.. Wiley except
assurances of support from friends
and scientific associations and much
commendatory publicity. On the other
hand, General Wickersham has been
bitterly attacked and accused Of taking
liberties in his Owl department with
the appropriation laws. Mr.. Wicker
sham has borne the brunt of the crtti
ctsm for his recommendation made at
the PERSONAL request Of President Taft
In an affair entirely out Of his depart
ment.
There is talk that President Taft is
dissatisfied with Secretary Wilson's
part In the Wiley affair. Such an in
yestigation as Is involved in the Wiley
case is generally considered a strictly
departmental matter. Transactions of
the sort are generally referred to the
comptroller of the treasury by the sec
rotary for an opinion. The comptroller
decides the legal questions involved
and the secretary determines upon the
administrative curse to be pursued in
conformity with the comptroller's ad-
vice. The Wiley case, however, was
brought to President Taft's attention
by Secretary Wilson at a cabinet meet
ing. The secretary himself had not
passed upon it. The charges had been
drawn up by a personal committee Of
the department composed of three sub
0rdinates and were presented to the
president for action. The president in
turn referred the case to Attorney
General Wickersham. The attorney
general made his recommendation
purely on the legal question involved.
He found that DR.. Wiley had made an
arrangement to pay compensation to
DIT. Rusby in a manner obnoxious 20
the law.
The criticism against Secretary VIII
son is that had he disposed of this
purely departmental question by him
self the present situation would not
have arisen.
There have been constant rumblings
on the subordination and disaffection
In the agricultural department from
time to time, of which only the Pin
chot and Wiley cases have come to the
surface.
AS Mr.. Wilson Is well advanced IN
years and has broken all records for
cabinet tenure, it would not cause
much surprise If the secretary should
decided to retire to private life.
