The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that Is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces OF the system there
by destroying the foundation Of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The prOprietors
have SO much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that II fails to cure. Send

When Senator Clapp Asks
Him to Tell About the
Hartman Letters.
BY LETTERS
Former President Tells the
Probers That He Opposed
Standard Contributions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., oct. f.
Colonel. Theodore'R Roosevelt arrived
here at-7 o'clock this morning to
testify before the CIapp committee
He was greeted by a few leaders OF
the Progressive party and he went
with his party to a hotel within
sight of the White House where he
breakfasted.
II his examination is concluded
early he wants to visit the national
museum to see the trophies Of his
African hunt
When Roosevelt was called be-
fore the committee he said that in
the fourteen years since his election
as governor of New York he had
written about 100000 letters and
he could not recall all of them. but
he remembered writing Cornelius
n. Bliss in 1906 about campaign,
contributions and George R. Shell
don in 1908 on the sants subject
He read a Sheldon letter which
the national committee had been
soliciting contributions from the
Standard Oil Company and John d.
ArchboId eff this be true" he
wrote. 81 wish to enter a vigorous
protest and say that not only.
should such contributions be re-
fused but that if made they should
be returned"
The letter said that George B.
CorteIyou had refused such contri-
buttons in 1904 and that he wanted
that course pursued in 1903. This
letter was dated September 81,
1908.
Roosevelt also read letter he
wrote Cortelyou october IS, 1904,
directing that if the Standard Oil
Company had contributed to the
campaign fund he wanted the money
returned. He also read telegram
to CorteIyou calling his attention to-
his letter about the return of Stand
ard contributions.
Clapp referred to the Hartman
fund but Roosevelt interrupted with
there is no evidence against me ex-
cept hearsay evidence. hearsay state
ments of men now dead, Bliss and
Hartman"
Roosevelt did not remember that
he had ever talked to Representa-
tive SibIey about visit of Archbold
to the White House, but possibly he
did so. but he said that any invita-
ton he might have extended toI
Archbold would be at Sibley's rel
quest. He said Senator Bourne
once brought Archbold to lunch with
him at Oyster Bay.
while I was president" he said,
eff any man. trust magnate. Social
list, lawyer or clergyman had bust
ness with me or he wanted to sec
me. gladly saw him; and if II
thought anything was to be gained
for the public service in seeing any
man, ] would send for him
Roosevelt took up the Hartman
letters and defended the use of the
word practical in the much dis
cussed letter of 1906 by saying that
his effort was to get practical men
in politics.
Roosevelt reviewed the Archbold-
Penrose incident and declared that
Penrose should be thrown out Of the
Senate
