railroad has proposed a wage
of 30 centsan hour for all un-
skilled labor was posted Fri-

in the wage price.
Many newspapers, among
them the Texas papers, filed

The grand lodge W. O. W.,
which met in Houston last
week resulted in the Frasher
crowd, known a the "loyals"
bolting the repairing to an-
other hall where they elected
a set of officers to suit them-
selves, while the "insur-
gents" are those who were
opposed to the high-handed
method of rate raising were
known, stayed in the conven-
tion hall and elected state
officers also, and court pro-
ceedings were instituted and
the ballot boxes placed in
safety deposit boxes until
the affair could be settled.
Court injunctions were also
secured in the Woodman
Circle meeting*. It i be-
lieved the insurgents will
win }n the end, and we sin-
cerely hope they will, as over
two-thirds of the members of
the order throughout the
United Staff are with them,
and especially Is this so iu
uy.
Hon. Champ Clark, who
had represented the State of
Missouri in the lower house
of Congress for the past
twenty y ♦•are or more, died
at his lodgings in Washing-
ton City last week* after an
illness of several weeks dura
tion.
Mr. Clark was a staunch
democrat and for several
years was leader of the
democratic forces in the
House of Representatives,
He was a man ot un
usual prominence aud a great
and careful leader and had
tendered his country able
service as a legislator, always
watchful of the interests oí
his constituents whenever
occasion required. A man
of splennid intellect and vast
information, be was ever
and willing to combat any
legislation that he did not
consider in the interest «I
the whole people,
As a politian be was a son
of the old school—a regular
cedar house house democrat,
always ready to defend the
principles of the party when-
ever and wherever required.
For several years past he
served his country as Speaker
of the lower house of con-
gress in a manner that dis-
tinguished him as one ot the
finest parlimentarian8 of this
country, wielding a great in-
fluence even among his po-
litical opponents, being fair
and honorable to ail parties
in his rulings, universally be-
loved and honored by all who
enjoyed his acquaintances.
In his death the demo
cratic party suffers the loss
of a distinguished leader and
a safe advisor, while the
whole country mourns the
deihise of one of its most dis-
tinguished and useful public
servants,
Peaceful be bis slumbers.
GOV. NEFF,
Due praise is deing ac-
corded Gov. Neff for his stub-
born resistence to certain
members of the State legisla-
ture who are endeavoring to
fritter away the funds of
the State by proposing the
appropriation of vast sums
of money for different schem-
ers that are not believed to
be necessary; much less re-
quired. His elimination of
a number of unuseful officers
which ware evidently created
for the purpose of creating
soft places, with easy work
and big pay for certain ad-
ministration pet^ is also
warmly endorsed by the peo-
ple who pay the taxes, thereby
providing the funds wi
which to defray the expense
of the government.
All honor to our new gov-
ernor, say we. He is cer-
tainly proving himself the
''right man in the right
place."

Fine Since Tsking Tsnlsc,
Tanlac has straightened me
out in fine shape and 1* have ac
tually gained fifteen pounds in
weight," said L. A. Good ridge,
1106 Corby St. Joaenh, Mo.
"Por five years I had suffered
from stomach trouble and ner-
vous indigestion. Gas began to
form on my stomach almost im-
mediately after eating and I had
sharp, shooting pains in the
region of my heart. There was
always .1 terrible pain in mi-
right side, and 1 was told sev-
eral times I had appendicitis. I
had severe headaches just about
all the time and often became so
dizzy I could hardly keep from
falling. My liver was sluggish
and J became so badly run down
and weak 1 had to lay off from
work a great deal of the time.
Although 1 took about every sort
of medicine I could hear of, and
spent hundreds of dollars trying
to get relief, I kept getting
worse.
"When I had taken only one
bottle of Tanlac I noticed an im-
provement in my condition and
i kept getting better until now
chat pain has left my side en-
tirely. My appetite is splendid,
I can eat anything 1 want, the
pains are gone from around my
heart and I am bothered so little
with gas I hardly notice it. I
never hav ea headache oijoecome
dizzy any more, and I feel so
good all the time 1 never lose a
day from work on account
of sickness. My improvement
since I began taking Tanlac is
simply remarkable, and 1 will
never be able to say enough
for It."
Tanlac is sold in Caldwell by
Messrs. Stone & Hitchcock, in
Tunis, R. F. D. from Caldwell,
by Dr. K. H. Little, in Deanville
Miman & Oo., and ail leading
druggists.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan, with electric telf-stsrting
and lighting system and demountable rims with
3# -inch tires front snd rear, for every dsy in
the yesr has no equal as a family car. Just as
populsr on the farm as it is in the city. In fsct,
it fits the fsmily demands in every vocstion of
life. Lsrge, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate
glass windows make it an open car in pleasant
weather, while in rainy and inclement weather
it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-
proof. It is not only comfortable, but really
cozy, and above all, economical in operation
and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits
of strength and durability.
