Before the week is over the town
clock in the city hall will cease strik-
ing. 1t may be a number of days be-
fore its familiar tones are heard again.
1t may even be weeks.
The clock will go on in it's usual
way, telling the time, and correct time
at that. Twenty-Five years of constant
service has not affected the regularity
with which it tolls off the seconds, "a
quarter of century of service has moi
impaired its usefulness to man, nor
marred it's accuracy as a guide to the
passing of time.
While the mechanism of the clock
is still apparently as good as when
was put in position in 1887, the cable
that holds the great weight that con-
trolls the striking of the hours has
gradually felt the effect of constant
use. Strands have been worn and be-

hangs suspended in air While the
danger of its falling is not imminent,
it is felt that the danger is there and
that it becomes accentuated when the
clock is wound every week. Left alone
the weight may remain in safety, but
kept at work, there is the fear
that the already weakened cable will
some day suddenly pop and down
through space, through the roof of
Judge Littlejohn's office and on to the
ground would come the half-ton of
metal, creating havoc and perhaps
taking life in it's fight.
So Mr.. Charles L. Fricker, city clock
keeper, told the county commissioner
at their meeting. There was but one
thing to do, of course; to authorize
the cessation of the winding of the
striking apparatus and the placing Of
new cable. So when the time for re-
winding comes this week it will be
passed over and the hours will not be
sounded again until a cable and d
workman have come from the factory
and it is felt that it is once more safe

for a definition. The papers are then
folded and thrown into basket from
which each player draws one and each
must write an answer TO the question
that has fallen to his or her lot.
The privilege of signing an assumed
name is given. When ut each round
of the game the questions and answers
are read aloud by the leader or hostess
and voted upon. one is sometimes glad

Request any person to think OF some

have counted the number correspond

For example: Suppose be thought of
5 o'clock. Five taken from twenty
leaves fifteen as remainder. You now

as you point with Il pencil TO the va

WILL CALL HILLES
TO TESTIFY
P.r,ins Wants to Hear More About
Charge That Roosevelt Spent Mil
lions of Harvester
Money!.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 25.-Senat9r
Clapp has received letter from George
w. Perkins asking that Charles d. Hilles,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, be called before the Senate
committee investigating campaign ex-
penditures, "to testify fully as to his
charge" that Colonel Roosevelt chad
spent millions Of dollars of harvester
trust money" Senator Clapp yesterday
stated that Mr.. Hilles would undoubted-
" be called before the committee, but
would be questioned not alone upon that
reported statement, but upon the gen
eral subject of campaign contributions.
A plan for the opening OF next week s
hearings was outlined yesterday by Sen.
ator Clapp for presentation to the full
committee when it meets. The first wit
ness probably will be Cornelius n. Bliss,
IT,, and the second c.. G.. Legethoff, pri-
waite secretary to the late Edward H.
Hartman. These two men will be called
upon to produce any papers belonging
to the estates respectively of Cornelius
n. Bliss and Mr. Hartman, that might
throw light on the charges made by John
ID. Archbold, that the Standard Oil com
pany had been asked to contribute to
the Roosevelt fund of 1904. Former
Speaker Cannon and Representatives Nc
Kinley of Illinois and Weeks of Massa-
rhusetts probably will be asked to tes
tify in connection with the probe into
alleged campaign contributions by pro-
tected interests prior to the tariff session
of 1909.

About Marbles.

There have been playthings about as
long as there hive been children. The
two go together. The queer thing
about it is that toys haven't changed
much In centuries. OF course the little
Roman boys in the time of the Caesars
did not have toy steam engines and
things like that. but they had little
chariots--some of them did-which
comes to the same thing. And mar
bles are older than Rome.
You would not be willing 10 play
with the pieces of burnt clay that boys
of olden times used. The Grst mar
bles that American boys used anyway
were not of this kind. These play
things of 200 or 800 years ago were
manufactured in the German countries.
They were real pieces of marble,
smoothed into spheres. Later burnt
clay was used and marbles became
cheaper. But the best of them are
still made of stone. Most of them come
from Germany.

solid east, having routed the third term
party in Vermont and the Democratic
party in Maine" He further said the
Republican party undoubtedly would

term strength has rapidly waned since

STOMACH MISERY
JUST VANISHES
Time 1t! No Indigestion, Gas or Sour
ness Five Minutes After Taking
"Pape's Diapepsin."

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of lead,
refusing to digest, or you belch gas
and eructate sour, undigested food, or
have feeling of dizziness, heartburn,
fullness, nausea, bad taste in mouth
and stomach headache-this is indiges-
ton.
A full case of Pape's Diapepsin costs
only fifty cents and will thoroughly
cure your out of order stomach, and
leave sufficient about the house in case
some one else in the family may suffer
from stomach trouble or Indigestion,
Ask your pharmacist to slow you
the formula plainly printed ON these
tifty-cent cases. then you will under
stand why dyspeptic trouble of all kinds
must go, and why they usually relieve
sour, out-of-order stomaehs or indiges-
ton in five minutes. Diapepsin is harm
less and tastes like candy. though each
dose contains power sufficient to digest
and prepare for assimilation into the
blood all the food you eat; besides, it
makes you go to the table with heal
thy appetite; but, what will please you
most, is that you will feel that your
stomach and intestines are clean and
fresh, and you viii not need to resort
to laxatives or pills for biliousness or
constipation.
This city will have many Diapepsin
cranks, as some people will call them,
but you viii be cranky about this splen-
did stomach preparation, too, if you ever
try little for indigestion or gastritis
or any other stomach misery.
ever rid yourself of stomach trouble and
indigestion.
