scribed by His Brothers.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The sum of
| $265,0OO, collected and spent in the
campaign Cor President Taft's renomi-
nation through his Washington head
quarters was partially accounted for
ny Representative William B. McKfn-
ley of Illinois, the presidents cam
palgn manager, in testimony before
the senate Investigating committee.
Mr. Mckinley said the Taft fam
ily,'' comprising Charles p. Taft, Hen
ry w. Taft and Horace Taft, brothers
OF the president, gave $15O,OOO. The
campaign, he declared, had cost five
times what was anticipated
When we started out we expected
to spend about $4,000" he told the
committee.
The other chief contributors to the
Taft fund, with the respective amounts
as given by Mr.. Mckinley. We're:
Andrew Carnegie. $4,000; E. T.

900; Indiana, $40, 900; Iowa, IS, 900;

Mr.. Mckinley and Ormsby McHarg,
the latter contest manager for colonel
Roosevelt in the primary fight, held
the witness stand throughout the aft
ernoon. Mr.. McHarg accounted for
the expenditure of $4,000 or 100000
by the Roosevelt committee in the
southern states where contests were
brought He denied that any, money
had been spent to influence delegates
or that he knew of the use of any
money in this way, either before or at
the Chicago convention.
Mr.. Mckinley admitted freely that
the Taft campaign committee had
paid the expenses of delegates to the
Chicago convention, a procedure that
both he and Mr.. McHarg said had
been a long standing custom"
Asked as to how many delegates had
thus been provided for, he said he
thought expenses had been paid
wherever a delegate could not afford
to pay his own way"
do you know anything of the use
of money at the Chicago convention
to change delegates?" asked Chairman
Clapp.
Nothing I would swear to-" Mr..
Mckinley said, smiling. Il have kept
out of the Ananias club so far and
guess I will remain out"
Chairman Clapp asked both Mr.
McHarg and Mr.. Mckinley if they
knew of an alleged underwriting of
the Roosevelt campaign by men who
were said to have pledged 100000
or 100000 tossecure Colonel Roose-
velts nomination.
1T is an absurd yarn" Mr.. Nc
Harg declared. Il would have heard
of such a thing if it were true and I
consider such a story absolutely alb
surd."
Mr.. Mckinley, when later called to
the stand, thus answered the same
question:
Il think that a silly story. just as

Good Eaters
Are Good Fighters
Whether at Work or Play, Endurance
Comes From Good Digestion,
Always Assured by Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

Men and women must have quick
wit and good grit to stand the days
battles. a dyspeptic may get away
with his work, but is always at swords
points with those. around him. A good
stomach and a good meal we'll di-
gested puts US in a good, jolly fight
ing mood, the sort that mows down
work and commands the hearty CO.
operation of our associates. The man
at the head of a business who has a
good stomach has behind him good
fighting force against competition and
the daily mixupS that are bound to
take place. In fact, a well organized
business is like our digestive system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as soon
as taken into the system go right to
work as assistants to the stomach,
rendering it immense amount of
help in working out the very complex
processes of digestion, encouraging it
in the performance of it's functions,
relieving it of a portion of its duties,
thereby allowing it a temporary re-
spite, and also toning up, strengthen
ing, revitalizing its secretory glands,
mucous membranes, absorbing glands
and muscular walls in such a way that
the stomach soon RECEIVERS its lost
powers of digestion, mobility, assimila-
ton and ultimately does it's work as
we'll as ever without outside assist
ance.
These powerful little tablets contain
in concentrated form every element
necessary to digest all forms of food,
whether meats, vegetables, cereals,
eggs. fish, etc, and they act equally
we'll in an acid or an alkaline medium
If your stomach is ailing, does not
digest as quickly or as thoroughly as
it should, and your entire system in
consequence is suffering from malnu-
triton and mal-assimilation, you owe
it to yourself to give the abused stom-
ach assistance to help it out of its
present condition.
The solution of your stomach-trou-
BILE problem is easy: Go to your drug
gist at once and secure a package,
then take one or two after each me al
or as required, then note the differ
ence in the way you feel. All drug
gists sell them. Price so cents.-Adv.

READY FOR BIG SAFETY RALLY.
Plans Complete for Meeting of Rail-
way Men in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Oct. 9.-Thirty-five
hundred Kansas City railway men will
meet in Convention hall on the night
of October 10 to inaugurate what is
known in railway circles as the safe
ty First movement. Preliminary ar
engagements were made yesterday by
L. NJ. Harris of St. Louis, publicity
agent for the Frisco railway. The OBJ
ject of the movement is to train rail-
way employees in the avoidance of
accidents to themselves and property
under their charge. c. w. Kouns of
Topeka, general manager of the Santa
F'e railway, will preside at the Conven-
ton hall meeting. The principal ad-
dress will be made by w. I. Tyler of
st. Louis, general manager OF the
Frisco. Veteran railway men will re-
late experiences touching upon the
avoidance of accidents. The Santa
Fe Apprentice band will furnish music.
Moving pictures, taken at the instance
of various railways, will show how to
avoid injuries. 1.-The meeting is called
for the purpose of introducing the
safety first movement to the en-
ployees OF railways running into Kan
sas City, said Mr.. Harris last night.
ut has been in full swing on the FRS
CO for some time and has produced
good results. Ralph c. Richards gen
erai claim agent of the Chicago &
Northwestern, is the author of the
plan. 1t is the desire of the railways
that their employees should remember
at all times that it is better to do less
work or even for a train to lose time
than to take risks. Work should be
done in the safe way. Time saved by
dangerous methods is lost in the end
and it is paid for in the lives and
limbs of patrons and employees. On
the selfish side of the matter. the rail-
ways can better afford to have en-
ployees take time to be careful than
they can afford to pay judgments re-
s1l1tine from damage SUITS

in many towns in the Green mountains,
but kept far away from politics and dwelt
largely upon the health giving qualities
of the mountain air.
There were few villages the president
passed through that were not decorated

were lined up and waiting for glimpse
