Paw Paw Pills
FOR
Constipation

Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour; they
do not grippe; they do not weaken;
but they do start all the secretions
of the liver and stomach In way that
soon puts these organs in healthy
condition and corrects constipation.
Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are a
tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves.
They invigorate instead of weaken ;
they enrich the blood instead of i'm
poyerishing it; they enable the stom-
ach to get all the nourishment from
food that is put into 1t.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope, they are soothing, healing. slim

act without physic. Price % cents,

There is one place of business in
airy rush of business because Of the
holidays. This liz the unfo,s station,
and while travel IL heavier during the
holidays than at other times, the
amount has decreased rapidly in the
last few years in Keokuk, according
to the observations Of a railroad man.
Formerly one of the most popular
OF Christmas presents was II railroad
ticket from the folks back home. or
fond uncle or aunt and an invitation
to enjoy the Christmas with them.
This custom, together with excursion
rates, always taxed the capacity Of
the railroads to the limit during the
holidays.
But this Is all changed now that the
two cent mile laws have been pass
ed in many states. The railroads have
absolutely discontinued the former
practice of selling excursion rates
during the holidays. The two cent
laws greatly reduced the revenues Of
the railroads and they quickly stop
ped the holiday excursion rates.
Many railroads still figh: the two
4 cent laws while number of officials
are satisfied but all OF them seem
glad that way has been found tc
justify the abatement Of the hoi
iday rates with the attendant rush

Restitution Made to Bank by Shourds Will Not Save Him.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-Reports that have been current in Philadelphia for more than year that the Union Trust company had been robbed of $1,000,000 in securities and $30 900 in cash by an employe were confirmed to- day when Gov. John K. Tener at Har- risburg decided that so far as the state is concerned Walter H. Shourds, who is accused of appropriating the money and securities, must be prose- cuted notwithstanding that restitution has been made to the trust company.
 The securities, 1t is said, we're taken from safe deposit box donated by George Burnham, Jr Shourds is a fugitive from justice. but it is said that in view of restitution having been made the trust company would not prosecute him. The state law, how ever, demands that the commonwealth prosecute all such cases, and it is ex- pected that District Attorney Rolan, if Shourds is located, will bring him to trial as he has already been indicted. Shourds, who was superintendent of safe deposit vaults of the trust com pany, fled the country shortly before his crime was discovered It is re- ported that he opened communication for the return of the securities and the money through personals" insert ed in New York, Philadelphia and Paris newspapers.

HEvERiDcE RETURNED
 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
Total of s57,ooo Sent Back to Perkins,
 Mclean and Pinchot.

Washington, Oct. 23.-That Senator Albert J. Beveridge returned campaign contributions amounting to 57,000 sent him by George w. Perkins, Ed ward L. Mclean and Clifford Pinchot was the testimony of three witnesses examined today by the senate contri- buttons committee.
 Today's testimony was to the effect that Senator Beveridge received from MT. Perkins and returned three checks or drafts, each for $10,000. Besides $25, 900 was received from and returned to Edward l.. Mclean, cousin of Sen ator Beveridge, and either s2,50O or 5000 was returned to Clifford Pinchot.
 Larz A. Whitcomb who had law office with Senator Beveridge's private secretary, and Leopold G. Rotschild, who was on the Indiana republican ex- ecutive committee in 1904, were today s witnesses.
 Each of them testified to having wit messed and signed copies of the letters with which Senator Beveridge return ed the contributions. MT. Rotschild said that Senator Beveridge showed him the drafts from MT. Perkins early in October, before election, and an nounced his intention of returning the money. MT Rotschild said he advised holding the money until after election, lest the contributors be offended, and that Senator Beveridge concluded to do this. The money was returned some ten days after election.
 After the committee had adjourned for the day, Frank J. Hogan. repre- senting the progressive party in Wash | ington, gave out a letter which pur- ported to be the letter of Senator Beveridge to MT. Perkins returning the ! money sent him by MT. Perkins. Ii read as follows:
 Dear Old Man:
 Herewith I return you untouched | the splendid sum you so generously sent me to help me in the battle jus1 | won. It was noble of you.

 am sending the enclosed back to you.

 proved as the years pass, is very swee and dear to me.
 Give my regards to our mutua friends, my love to the folks at home
