FREE IF IT FAILS.
Your Money Back if You are Not Satisfied With the Medicine We
 Recommend.

We are so positive that our remedy will permanently relieve constipation, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish the medicine at our expense should it fail 10 produce satisfactory results.
 It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or eathartics, do much harm They cause a reaction, irritate and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous.
 Constipation is caused by weakness of the nerves and muscles of the intestine or descending colon. To ex- pect permanent relief you must tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity
 We want you to try Rexall Orderlies on our recommendation They are exceedingly pleasant 10 take, being eaten like candy, and are ideal for children, delicate persons, and old folks, as well as for the robust. They act directly on the nerves and mus cles of the bowels. They apparently have neutral action on other asso- ciate organs or glands They do not purge, cause excessive loosenesS, nor create any inconvenience whatever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will positively relieve chronic or habitual constipation, if not of surgical variety, and the myriads of associate or dependent chronic ailments, if taken with regu- larity for reasonable length of time.

TROUSDALE'S REWARD
Express Messenger who Killed Two
Bandits Is Promoted.

San Antonio, Tex, April 15.-David
Trousdale. the Wells Fargo express
messenger who killed two bandits who
held up a Southern Pacific passenger
train near Eldridge, Texas, on March
1S and attempted to rob the express
car, will be given the run of the Wells
Fargo service. This announcement
was made here today by A. E. Sted-
man of Chicago, vice president and
general manager of the company.
Trousdale's promotion will make
him supervising messenger between
here and rro---' - Of 90 ~ Of Sa 0OO
a year. In addition to his promotion
Trousdale, now on vacation with pay
10 A4s O4u nome IN ANaSlvl44e, Au4.-4.,
will on his return be presented with
$1,000 and a $3.50 gold watch by the
express company and purse OF $100
subscribed by the passengers on the
train at the time of the holdup.
Trousdale'S nerve saved nearly
100000. AS the first bandit covered
him with a revolver Trousdale pre-
tended to give up and suggested that
the bandit take more valuable pack
age. The bandit turned his head for
second and TrousdaIe killed him by
a blow on the head with an ice mallet.
He then waited, rifle in hand, until the
second bandit appeared and shot him
to death as he peered in the car door.

have sixty-five of the Pennsyivania

1our OF the seventy-six Pennsylvanfa
delegates in the Democratic conven-
ton. The other two delegates are IA
voraole to Champ Clark. but are not
pledged.
Incomplete returns from every dis
trict give the former president sixty
five delegates in the Republican ma
uonal convention. The Roosevelt sup
porters are claiming sixty-seven and
later returns may carry the figures to
that total.
The regular Republican organic
ton, headed by United States Senator
Penrose, which has stood the fury OF
many political storms, received "A
crushing defeat in the loss Of control
OF the state convention. 1t is the first
time in the present generation that Il
has lost control of that body.
In addition to naming the II dele
gates at large to Chicago. the conven-
ton will select 3S presidential cleo
tors, four candidates for congressman
at large and candidates for state
treasurer and auditor general all to
be voted for at the November election
The significance Of the Roosevelt
victory can be realized when It IS re-
membered that the delegates in con-
troll of the state convention have tha
power to elect the state chairman. and
under the party rules the delegation
to the national convention elects the
national committeeman.
The vote polled was light. In some
districts IT did not go much over so
per cent of the vote at the last gen
eral election. Colonel Roosevelt Is
said to have received his heaviest vote
from the reform element represented
by the Keystone party.

SHOP men MEET
Forming Gigantic Federation
of Railway Employees.
Five of the Crafts Are Repre-
scented at Meeting.

Kansas City, April 15.-To perfect
a federation of the shop employees of
all the railroads west of the Mississip-
pi river, Representatives of five railway
craft organizations began a meeting at
the Labor temple here today. Plans
for the new organization have been
under way for several months.
The object of the federation en-
bracing unions with an aggregate
membership of 100000 men employed
with the necessity of separate organi-
zation, taking up negotiations with
separate railroads and to unite all the
mechanical trades so that concerted
action NAV be taken when wage de-
mandS are made. Demands will be
made on all railroads in the same ter
ritory at the same time so that all the
roads will be involved simultaneously
if a strike is called.
Labor leaders say they discovered
the need of the federation during the
disputes last winter with the Harrl-
man lines and Illinois Central and that
the next time a strike Is called 1t Will
be on a broader scale.
March was originally set for the
meeting but it was postponed by the
international officers of the unions who
said too much publlc1ty had Deen given
to their plans.
Among the leaders who took part in
the meeting today were the presidents
of the five crafts represented as fol-
lows:
w. H. Johnston, Washington, D. G.,
president International Association OF
Machinists; ]. w. Cline, Chicago,
president International Brotherhood
of Blacksmiths; M. F. Ryan, Kansas
City. geenral president Brotherhood of
Railway Carmen; J. A Franklin, Kan
sas City, president international
brotherhood of Boilermakers; NJ. L.
sullivan Kansas City, president Inter
natioanI Alliance of Sheet Metal
The meeting was called tc
order by J.. w. Cline of Chicago
and after committees on rules and Gre
dentiaIs had been appointed and an
address of welcome delivered by John
II. Smith, business agent of the local
industrial council, an adjournment was
taken until 2:30 this afternoon. Repre-
sentatives of four affiliated unions, the
clerk painters, laborers and steamfit-
ters' organizations were present and
thew will make an effort to be admit
ted to the federation that is to be
formed
.This is the most important labor
meeting of railroad men ever called IN
this country" said NJ. F. Ryan. He
added that the meeting probably would

astonishing fashion over limit of

but there was no stability at either,
nor at any point between. The greater
persistency was shown perhaps in the
return of the market to the upper

field from Plymouth, Indiana, to

reports also were received from Ne
braSka.
In consequence the market veered
as high as 1111s for May and 107az @B
for July, gains of more than 11s above
the topmost figures of Saturday.
The news which had the greatest in
fuence on the bull side of the market
was from crop expert who had pre-
viously been disposed to minimize the
effect of supposed winter killing in the
soft winter states. Today, he teIe-
graphed from Decatur, Ill, that be-

vance of Is to Il piled up in addi-
ton to the rise of 10 cents a bushel
