PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 10
The Evening Times, the daily started
here by Frank A. Munsey several
years ago, suspended publication TO-
day. A signed statement by Munsey
gives the reasons for its discontinue
ance. Every undertaking is an ex-
pertinent until 1t crystalizes into a
success. The Evening Times has
never passed out OF the experimental
stage and there Is no evidence in
sight looking to its doing so In the
near future" the statement reads.
'Tf 1t were nearing the clearing. II
success were within the sweep of
telescope, would continue its pubiica-
ton and back it generously.
But the Evening Times hasn't
worked out, that's all there is to 1t.
Not every experiment is born to sue
cess. The Evening Times is merely
one OF them that falls by the wayside
and the world goes on merrily all the
same"

Roger C. Sullivan, Chicago, was de.
MED writ Of certiorari in his $780,
900 defamation suit against the ILL.
nois Publishing and Printing com.
pany, by the supreme court today.
The suit was instituted in the Pc.

based on alleged Misrepresentation
made in the Chicago Examiner con-
Meeting Sullivan with the election of
William Lorimer to the United States
senate Sullivan lost his case in the
trial court when the Judge of the
court sustained a demurrer to his
declaration and assessed costs
against him. The appellate court up
held the lower courts ruling and Sui
Ivan asked the supreme court to re-
view the case upon a writ of certiora-

grounds that such writ would not
give the court Jurisdiction in a case
Of that character. A certificate OF
Importance Is the only means by
which Sullivan can place his case be-

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the distractions
of poisonous fecal matter and gases and
Preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years 2
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and so sue
cessfui was the remedy he devised that
1t has since been placed in the hands OF
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless, the eff
feet of the medicine is sufficient to con-
vince any one of its remarkable effect
iveness, and within ~ hours the sufferer
feels like new person. Mayr's Won

Finance Method DISCUSSED.

Finance Mctno0 OlSCuUSeo.
The discussion OF ways and means
for financing industrial propositions
consumed much of the time this noon.
Two plans discussed were talked OF
at some length. 1t was decided to put
the matter in the hands Of the execu-
tive committee and the finance COM
mittee OF the association to make q
report soon. Ona plan discussed was
that OF appropriating each year GER
tain sum from the budget. This was
to be applied to purchases OF stock In
the proposed concern, and when 1t
was in full operation then to dispose
Of lie stock. The second proposition
was for the association to go into in
dustrial real estate business. This
does not mean competition with the
regular real estate agents. 1t would
be only in an industrial way. The
association would secure options, give
certain land to the factory in point
and then dispose of the remaining
lots at an advance.
J. F.. Elder and E. A. French were
named a committee to confer with
the proper county officials over the
matter of Strengthening and widening
the road at the Weyand place on the
way to the Country club. This road
is so narrow and makes such sharp
turn that it Is quite dangerous, es.
pecially for so wide travelled road as
it is.
Streets to be oiled.
It was reported that fourteen
blocks in the city would be oiled.
These are in the first and third
wards. The property owners already
have signed up and the oil is pur-
chased. AS soon as 1t arrives 1t will
be put on the streets. The work was
done through the association turning
the job over to James Cameron's
Sons and the association also assisted
in the work.
It was brought out at the meeting
this noon that the association must
fundamentally care for the Industrial
side of the city, and that more and
more will the other matters be rsfer-
red to the various departments, insist
ing that they take care of these
things themselves.
A resolution of thanks for the en-
and courtesies shown
them on their trip was received from
the South Eastern Kansas Association
Of Commercial clubs. The Sunflower
state boosters were here April 10.
